The best trope in the world is when a character realizes that they’re in love with another character and instead of being bashful or cute about it their internal monologue is just “NO. GOD. FUCK. WHY”
She shoved down 27 plates of mushroom ravioli in 30 seconds.
It was the first time she ate human food after turning into a vampire.
She has trouble heaving it up.
Emmett does a Heimlich maneuver on her.
No ravioli gets out.
Edward starts to freak out.
Esme and Carlisle will be home soon.
After multiple tries, Bella sighs and says “just take my head off and take it out yourself”.
Edward has a mental breakdown in the middle of the kitchen as Emmett sticks a vacuum cleaner down her esophagus to remove every ravioli while Jasper holds Bella’s head.
I was thinking about how cute the Cullen’s playing baseball as a family is so here we go it’s baseball headcanons time
the family games started as a way to distract Esme during the worst of the thunderstorms. Carlisle was a huge baseball fan, and Esme often got nervous during thunderstorms, Edward put the two together
they started as a simple ‘who can bat the ball the furthest’ competition between the three of them, Edward encouraged Carlisle to teach Esme how to bat a ball, laughing from the side as the two stammered and smiled shyly through it, both hopelessly in love with each other but not knowing the other felt the same
the games stopped when Edward left the two of them, and didn’t start again until a few years after Rosalie joined them
Esme, getting sick of the bickering between Edward and Rosalie, and Carlisle’s moaping went out and bought two bats and a handful of baseballs, forcing all four into the nearest clearing
playing let Rosalie channel all her grief and anger into something, and she spent hours out in the field launching baseballs into the forest.
eventually, after Emmett joined them it turned into a way to start to fix her relationship with Carlisle. he was the one to teach her how to properly pitch and bat a ball
the first time Rosalie batted a ball perfectly, she turned to Carlisle, face brimming with joy and pride, shouting 'did you see that? Carlisle it went almost half way across the clearing!’
the batting competitions turned into actual games when Emmett pointed out that the numbers were pretty much even. Edward and Carlisle v Emmett and Rosalie, with Esme offering to referee and pitch
after Alice joined the family, she was the one to initiate the first game between all seven of them. Carlisle again, becoming almost tradition at this point, was the one that showed Alice how to pitch and bat
Jasper was never very talkative, and struggled when it came to getting to know 'his new family’. the baseball games gave him a way to relax and bond with everyone without the pressure of conversations
eventually the family tradition for games whenever it thunders or when they find a field/clearing far away enough from towns and cities starts
there’s a year long league set up, teams established (Carlisle, Edward and Rose v Emmett, Jasper and Alice, Esme pitches/referees), wins and looses are kept track of and forfeits at the end of the year for the loosing side
the year Emmett’s team won, they made Carlisle Rose and Edward order food from a diner. the following year, Carlisle treated Emmett’s team to a three course meal
baseball games become a way for the family to bond and relax, a way to be themselves and have a genuinely good time surrounded by people they love
the day Edward brought Bella to the family’s baseball game, Esme knew her boy was in love
when Bella joins the family, she takes Alice’s place in Emmett’s team so Alice can be the pitcher instead
they quickly realise that having Carlisle Rose and Bella in the one team is a recipe for disaster so Bella joins Emmett and Jasper
when Charlie inevitably finds out about everything, Bella brings him to watch the Cullen’s play and he had the exact same look on his face that she did. 'Bells, I’m never gonna be able to enjoy a game of regular baseball again’
Last week I got a message from someone promising a “new tumblr” called 2mblr. It was a scam and I said so at the time BUT-
If you went to 2mblr or a similar backup site and logged in, you probably gave that application read/write access to your blog. You haven’t been “hacked,” you literally gave them permission to post to your dash.
Click the grey X next to ANY app you do not recognize. You can ALWAYS reinstall later, if you realize it was something you actually wanted.
Changing your password will not help.
Third party apps do not have or need your password in order to access your page.
Re: some more misinformation I have seen wandering around.
You can’t “brute force” a Tumblr account. “Brute Force” means that a computer tries to log into an account hundreds of times a minute using thousands or millions of guessed passwords.
Except Tumblr will lock you out after a few failed login attempts. Try it yourself if you don’t beleive me. A computer would get locked out in seconds.
If someone got your Tumblr password, chances are, you gave it to them. You got an email that said “your account needs to be verified” or “you have 8 new messages” or “your account will be deleted” and you clicked a link to a page that looked almost exactly like the Tumblr login page- and you entered your username and password and submitted it.
The email wasn’t from Tumblr, the login page wasn’t a Tumblr site, and you sent them your password. Tumblr can do nothing to prevent you from doing this.
It would be like if a person in a Walmart vest showed up on your doorstep and asked for your credit card in order to complete your online order. Walmart can’t prevent that from happening.
Then there’s third party apps.
A third party app could be running on your browser (like xkit) or on another website (like who unfollowed me) but again, you have to give it permission to run. It cannot grant itself access. It can lie about why it wants access (like 2mblr promising to back your blog up) but it can’t lie about what permissions you’re granting.
When I checked out 2mbler, it asked for read/write access and I said ‘no.’ Write access means exactly what it says- access to write things on your page. There is no reason for an app to ask for write access except to post on your behalf.
It would be like someone showing up on your doorstep and saying “can I photograph and paint your house?” You can’t call the builder afterwards and say “wtf, my house is polka dotted??” The builder can’t control what permissions you give to random 3rd parties, and neither can tumblr staff.
