[up]It's nice to hear about Tumblr from somewhere outside of Tumblr. Also, it's not bad if more media coverage brings more people to the site, is it?

Do not obey in advance.

Looks like tumblr changed its layout again. Now the note counter and other buttons that used to be at the top are now at the bottom of posts.

They also have some advertisements? I haven't seen any yet.

Oh and the update disabled tumblr savior. No. Tumblr. You need to FIX that. Now.

I've seen advertisements. They're disguised as normal posts, only they're from blogs you don't follow. I saw one for Sanjay And Craig just a few minutes ago.

I've seen ones for Pepsi on that side thing. It's annoying, those were supposed to be for notable posts.

Never trust anyone who uses "degenerate" as an insult.

They once ran advertisements for Furby of all things.

That I would be okay with them advertising.

Yeah, they were actually pretty amusing.

Oh great, I thought the advertisement was restricted to the side of the page with a random post, rather than shoving it onto my dashboard, because now I got an entry about that Ethan Hawke movie The Purge, and I'm sure I don't follow Universal's Tumblr.

Yeah, they're trying to do more advertising now. Not that surprising. What I'm doing is blocking every single tumblr that does a sponsored post. It won't prevent me from seeing the ad in the first place, but it makes me feel a bit better about it. I'm a bit surprised that they're actually letting me block a tumblr that advertises, though.

Probably because aside from the fact that they advertise, they're just normal blogs.

Tumblr is fun.

At least, when one does not find oneself crossing the path of the hardest of hardcore crazy peeps.

I got my first Tumblr dashboard ad today. It was for Hanson + The Jonas Brothers.

Are you shitting me Tumblr.

Anywhom, my tumblr is http://mrmallard.tumblr.com/ for those who want to check it out. I only follow back people who post in bursts and/or sporadically, to keep my daily crawl below 30 minutes. If you want to follow me I should warn you: I get very heated about some things, I can be a hypocrite and there are times where I will insert swearing into places where it is optional.

[up] It's all true.

Checked my activity today. A gifset I posted months ago suddenly has notes a mile long, running through "COME AT ME, FEMINISTS" to "YOU SWINE" to "MY SEX LIFE IS NOT ON TRIAL HERE"

Go figure.

My dashboard is covered in Comic-Con Loki pictures.

Dude, okay, yes, Tom Hiddleston is a sexy guy. But Loki is a crazy mass murderer. When he tells you to bow before him, it's because he's become a narcissistic power-hungry crazy-dude.

I really don't get Tumblr's Loki obsession.

Power is Sexy?

Plus, Loki doesn't exist. He's a fictional character. It's like one giant elaborate roleplay.

[up][up] A lot of the people on Tumblr are flat-out crazy.

Makes sense that they'd be drawn to a charismatic crazy guy.

It's kind of like the Joker from Dark Knight - they're the kind of people that Loki attracts.

@Acella What's wrong with playing a long with an actor doing a silly roleplay of a fictional character he plays?

I'm now envisioning The Joker being a Loki fanboy.

This is a hilarious mental image.

It's not the Comic-Con moment that bothers me. I thought it was pretty awesome. It's Tumblr's general obsession and excuses for Loki. He's got one of the worst cases of Leather Pantsing I've ever seen.

This year's model is Mads Mikkelsen. Or how about Alex the lesbian drug mule. waii

Criminal characters are more vivid and enticing and I think it's healthy to live vicariously through them.

What bothers me (and give me your thoughts on this) is the current glut of sociopath "heroes". The feedback I keep getting is that the world is a cesspool and kindness will get you killed. Is it me?

Incidentally, there aren't many female counterparts to Loki on tumblr. (Maybe Harley Quinn, but she straddles the line.) There are plenty of gun-twirling, judo kicking subdoms on TV, but they are antiheroes at best.
