Dear American TV networks,
I do not live in America. I do not even live in the UK where they get your American TV shows relatively fast. No. I live in a small bullshit country in Northern Europe. I hate pretty much all of the television shows that are produced in my country. They are not quality. Therefore, I want to watch your cool American shows. And British shows. But mainly the FBI is fucking with shit right now, so I am hereby directing this to American networks.
See, the thing is, it is virtually impossible for me to watch an American TV show legally in my country. I might have to wait months, if not years, for a TV show imported from the US to air on one of the channels here. If I am lucky enough for that show to even get picked up by one of our channels. About half of the shows I love and watch have never aired here. Some are several seasons behind.
I do not want to wait years and months to maybe get to see them legally on TV here. And I cannot even buy the DVD boxsets, because they do not start selling said DVD boxsets in my country before the season in question has aired on TV here. Which it might not. And I cannot order DVD boxsets from America, for example, because your DVDs do not play in our DVD players because were are in a different zone or whatever.
Then again, you do put your TV show episodes up online. There’s Hulu and iTunes and whatnot. But the thing is, I cannot watch them, legally, in such places. Even if I would be willing to pay a few cents for an episode. No. There is geocockblocking. You are not permitted to view this in your country at this time, these websites tell me. So what is there for me left to do? Downloading them from alternative places. It is my last resort because there is literally no other way for me to watch the amazing TV show you have created.
That is why I come to you with a suggestion on how to stop a whole lot of people from illegally downloading TV shows: Make the episodes accessible legally online, even outside of America, shortly after the episode has aired. I would legit be willing to pay for it if you only let me.
There. Problem fucking solved.
moodymuse said: Sadly, it’s not just the Hunter Parrish tag. I’ve got RPs on several character and actor tags, too, on different shows. It’s annoying.
Yeah, same here. But it’s most ridiculous in the Hunter Parrish tag, because there aren’t that many posts in it in general. In the other tags I track the RPs are easy to scroll by, because there’s one on every 20 other posts. Whereas in the HP tag… There’s 10 RPs for every quality post.
I get that people want visibility for their RPs, but the wanted ads are just annoying as fuck. I mean, I get if you post RP related graphics etc, that can also be reblogged by people not in the RP if they feel they apply to them… But the RP wanted ads with mostly stolen gifs need to gtfo.
I just had to block seven more RPs from appearing in the Hunter Parrish tag
After already having blocked like 30.
Seriously, this is getting fucking ridiculous. Can all of ya’ll PLEASE STOP TAGGING your roleplay wanted ads with Hunter Parrish and tag them with something like RP: Hunter Parrish instead?
When I go to the Hunter Parrish tag I do not want to see a bunch of Glee/Harry Potter/whatever the fuck RP ads (with stolen gifs). I want to see pictures of his pretty face. And I know I’m not the only one who feels like this.
Thank you kindly.
I’m /this/ close to crying right now.
Uni work is kicking my ass. I have a nine page essay to finish by tomorrow, and I had written three whole pages before I realized that one of my coursemates had already reserved the topic I had started writing about.
Ergo, I now have to start the essay from scratch on another topic. My head hurts and I’m tired and I don’t even know where to start on essay #2. Serves me right for not paying enough attention and double-checking things, I guess. FML.
Things that need to get the fuck out of the Hunter Parrish tag:
- roleplay wanted ads
- stolen/uncredited gifs
- roleplay wanted ads with stolen/uncredited gifs
Things that need to get the fuck in the Hunter Parrish tag:
- gifs you made yourself
- gifs you reblog/that have proper credit to the person who made them
- quality pictures of his pretty face
Oh, Anon. You so funny.
To the Anon who just rudely told me to delete my old Tumblr sleepswithbutterflies (that I kept as a redirect so that people would find my new blog after I changed my username) because I apparently “don’t fucking even listen to Tori Amos”…
Yeah, I don’t have her entire discography in my iTunes library or anything. And obviously I would’ve chosen a Tori Amos inspired URL if I don’t listen to her…
You know, if you hadn’t gone on Anon and been an ass about it, and if you actually had asked me nicely if I could delete it… I would have happily obliged. But your rudeness and nitwit reasoning makes me want to hold on to it a bit longer just out of spite.
Niceness and politeness will get you far. That is today’s lesson.
I had an appointment with the dentist today.
And apparently I may need braces because she thought there is something iffy about my bite. So now she’s sending me to a specialist.
How come no dentist has ever told me this before? I’ve had routine checks yearly for my entire life, and no one has ever said anything. They could have told me this a little sooner. Say, years ago when I was like 15 or 16! Or even younger…
Not to mention how I work at the radio on occasion. How the hell am I supposed to do that if I have braces? It will mess my voice up. Utter bs, I tell you. Utter bs.
Sob.

This is exactly what I don’t get. Why do you need religious people to prove that God exists? Let them believe what they want! If they believe in something that may not actually exist, what’s it to you? If they’re wrong, so? It’s their life wasted, not yours.
I’m a Christian and I don’t go shoving my beliefs into people’s faces. I’m not offended by atheists or other religions. I have friends who are atheists. I have Muslim friends. I have Christian friends. I’m liberal. I support gay marriage. I’m just like you. Only I happen to believe in there being something more than what we see every day (And no, I don’t take the Bible literally. Times have changed since it was written by humans and there are a lot of contradictions in it).
And that is kind of the general point of religion: believing in something more, something that you necessarily can’t see or comprehend, but you think is there. You don’t know for certain, but you have faith. It doesn’t have to be logical.
I mean, I don’t go around asking atheists to prove that God doesn’t exist. I respect everyone else’s beliefs, I’m not trying to change them, and all I ask for is the same respect in return. It doesn’t matter if you agree with me or not.

P.S. And not all religious people are “angry monsters” such as the one above when people want to discuss religion. Most of us are actually pretty calm and sensible and willing to talk about things in a civilized manner.
People need to stop posting things from weheartit on Tumblr. And reblogging stuff that came from that website.
Weheartit is essentially a bookmarking website for images. Weheartit does not own the rights to the images on that site. So stop taking pictures from there and posting them on Tumblr and listing weheartit as the goddamn source.
Especially when it comes to people’s art and photography. The original artist deserves the credit for their work, even though “it’s on the Internet”.
I’m a kinda-sorta amateur photographer myself, and I would be pissed if I saw any of my photographs on weheartit. Let alone if someone found said photograph on weheartit and posted it on Tumblr, without my name being mentioned anywhere or without me getting any credit for my work.
Occasionally I see a photography or art post on Tumblr that makes me go “Hey, I’d like to reblog this”. But when I see weheartit listed as the source I refrain. Same if I see no credit to the artist. I just do not reblog it, no matter how amazing that post is. You should do the same when it comes uncredited posts or posts that originated from weheartit.
