THE SUMMER I TURNED PRETTY 2.01 | Love Lost
Same Energy:
i am going through all my saved drafts from back ye olden yonder days before i took my sabbatical and, like, damn y’all... i was going though. it.
I slept in and just woke up, so here's what I've been able to figure out while sipping coffee:
- Twitter has officially rebranded to X just a day or two after the move was announced.
- The official branding is that a tweet is now called "an X", for which there are too many jokes to make.
- The official account is still @twitter because someone else owns @X and they didn't reclaim the username first.
- The logo is 𝕏 which is the Unicode character Unicode U+1D54F so the logo cannot be copyrighted and it is highly likely that it cannot be protected as a trademark.
- Outside the visual logo, the trademark for the use of the name "X" in social media is held by Meta/Facebook, while the trademark for "X" in finance/commerce is owned by Microsoft.
- The rebranding has been stopped in Japan as the term "X Japan" is trademarked by the band X JAPAN.
- Elon had workers taking down the "Twitter" name from the side of the building. He did not have any permits to do this. The building owner called the cops who stopped the crew midway through so the sign just says "er".
- He still plans to call his streaming and media hosting branch of the company as "Xvideo". Nobody tell him.
This man wants you to give him control over all of your financial information.
ok are there any Belly Conklin Stans on here?!?
I’ve been wandering the Hellscape for days trying to find My People.
ok i am crawling slowly out of my long time grave solely for this one very important question:
is a Belly/Conrad future fic where approximately 97% of the plot is literally just Belly hardcore thirsting over Conrad in gray sweatpants going to be, like, Too Far for the TSITP fandom??
lol ok if you ever wonder why i never get on tumblr regularly anymore, this shit is why...
this dumb website is in need of some love, so reblog this if you like the person you reblogged it from!!!
Welcome back.

this dumb website is in need of some love, so reblog this if you like the person you reblogged it from!!!
All the talk about “oh Elon Musk’s buying twitter now all the people who fled from tumblr to twitter are gonna come back here” and gotta say. I’m on edge. SOMETHING happened to tumblr between 2018 and 2020 that turned it from a warzone to a tolerable shitposting website and my one best guess has always been that the p/orn ban sent so many people packing to twitter that we ended up exporting all our native-grown gremlins to the bird site. I back this theory up by the fact that all batshit fandom drama I hear about these days comes from twitter.
So for most people coming back, happy to see you welcome have some tea or coffee over on the table to the left but if the shit-stirrers come back for me it’s on sight. It’s on sight. First time around I was nice I was like “oh I shouldn’t engage if I’m the Bigger Blog that’s a bad move to put smaller blogs on blast :(” free pass is up. I’ll name and shame. I clawed my way back up from 6 feet underground and I’m not doing it again I’ll defend this garbage tower to the death. PVP. I’ll salt the earth I’ll poison the water supply I’ll burn the village down hand in unlovable hand I’ll take everyone and everything down with me before I cede this stupid blog again it’s on. sight.
Oh also there’s some lemon bars too.
I’m installing a security system.
oml i’ve only been back on here for LESS THAN A DAY and i’ve already done that thing where you tell yourself “i’ll just look for 10 minutes” and then end up scrolling for hours with out blinking or speaking or getting up to pee or having literally any awareness of time passing and the word rotating.
so... what’d i miss??

Take the shot, Blake!" Clarke strains as loud as she’s able.
"Shut up, Clarke!" Bellamy yells back, seemingly a little distracted by her in this amount of danger. He should be keeping a clear head.
Clarke wills any fight left in her to the surface because she has to act now. Emerson could take Bellamy out in a heartbeat. It’s a dangerous move, she could die easily here by the Unsub’s hands, but at least Bellamy will be safe. She struggles, pulling Emerson’s arm with her hands. The sound of her gun firing almost deafens her but like she suspected, the bullet missed Bellamy in the commotion. Bellamy is on Emerson as quick as lightning and Clarke is surprised to find herself free and pretty much unharmed, crouching on all fours on the ground.
It was a massive risk that paid off.
Clarke is gasping, her airway feeling like the size of a straw, cutting her like she’s trying to swallow a razor blade. It’s painful to breathe, maybe it’s the worry or maybe it’s the physical pain of trying to swallow air. All the same, Clarke draws breath like she never will again.
A few minutes pass and she starts to regain control of her breathing. She sees cops and S.W.A.T agents pushing Carl Emerson passed her in cuffs and Clarke breathes out a sigh of relief. She lifts her head to look for Bellamy but he’s already beside her, helping her onto her feet. Clarke gets her first look at him since the ordeal.
His face is concerned and tight with worry - but unharmed. Clarke’s heart unclenches and she can breathe easy, despite her throat burning. His fingers reach out, gently touching her face and turning it slightly so he can get a better view of her neck. Tingles shoot through her at the contact and it’s silent between them for a few moments, tender.
Bellamy’s eyes are soft with concern and sadness, making Clarke unsure of what to say or do. She yearns to close the distance between them, fall into his arms like it’s her birthright. She shows some restraint though as Bellamy takes a good look at her. Once he knows for sure that she’s okay as can be, Clarke notices the look in his eyes change and feels a push against her shoulders.
"That’s twice, Clarke." Bellamy pushes her again. "Twice! Twice in two days you’ve put your life in the hands of an Unsub with a gun. Do you want to die? Do you?"
Clarke and Bellamy, FBI agents - both too emotional to be level-headed in the dangerous situations they face together.
