....and now to break this line of discussion:
Whoever mentioned Apocryphal Antithesis as their favorite song...why didn't I listen to this earlier!? It might just kick Dreamers and the Dead out of its spot on my list of favorites.
Tumblr here.It should by this point be clear that people troll to get a reaction — this isn't like, say, Viking spam, where everyone involved actually is having some small amount of fun and the fad will only go away once everyone's embarrassed by it. Reaction posts -> more trolling. No reaction posts -> less trolling.
Of course, it's possible that I'm misreading you and you're also doing this to get a reaction out of the thread at large rather than the people responsible for update trolling. If so, kindly knock it off.

I will keep my soul in a place out of sight, Far off, where the pulse of it is not heard.


An alternate strategy for UPDATE trolling is to spoiler all of your sentences except for the word UPDATE, so that regardless of whether or not you're calling an UPDATE, people will read your posts, see only the word UPDATE, and instinctively check for an UPDATE.
