[+] So, when Phillip Phillips (TLDR; dumbest name ever, poor guy) won AI last year, I liked him okay, and I had downloaded some of his performances. I thought "Home" was easily the best single AI ever concocted for their winner; it wasn't overwrought like every single one before it, and it fit him quite well. But his new song, "Gone, Gone, Gone,"

I don't know anything about tumblr...is it anything like LJ? Maybe I should get an account there too, but I barely have time for LJ

[badboy_fangirl]

I feel like I'm learning that tumblr is in fact NOT like LJ and is more difficult to have conversations and exchanges on, and I'm really not looking for that, so now I think I'm definitely not going over there. I'll just stay here, in the 20th Century with my LJ. *clings

[archangel_blood]

Yeah, LJ looks more and more deserted, sadly. I did set up a tumblr account some time ago, but it's just sitting there, all empty and unused. Problem is, I just don't like tumblr, and that's that.

Heh, you know how I feel about TVD, I will go down with this show.

[badboy_fangirl]

From the intel I've gathered today I don't think I'd like it either. So I'm pretty sure I'm not going over there now.

I'm like you, I can't imagine not being there until the bloody end. It's just not possible!

I miss the interactions/conversations on LJ as well. My tumblr is used mostly to reblog pretty pretty gifsets mostly of Ian, a lot of Nina but mostly Damon/Elena with some Steroline, and I try to stay out of the big debates and metas. To me, tumblr seems incredibly divisive, mostly because the system makes it difficult to carry on a conversation or debate points. People seem to have grouped into camps, and fuck you if you don't agree with everything they say - especially lately, when Elena is at odds with everyone. For instance, after the stills of 4x21 came out that feature the Salvatores torturing Elena, almost half of the people I follow posted and reblogged about how they better not see anyone justify Elena being tortured or even making excuses about it or they'd be instantly unfollowed. The other half was like, buh? There's very little debate and a whole lot of posts about opinions stated in a way that if you don't agree, then you're a misogynistic asshole who isn't watching the show correctly. Like, I think everyone

[badboy_fangirl]

OH GOD. See, this is good info to have--I couldn't emotionally handle tumblr, I think. Because as much as I love Elena, I would point out that she was around for the Stefan!torture. She enabled it. That doesn't make her *deserving* of it, but it hardly makes her an innocent victim. NO BLACK OR WHITE PEOPLE, THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT. Ugh

[shipperjunkie]

LOL I love Elena too, but second to Damon, because he's the character I connected to and understand the most. On tumblr, this translates to caring about male characters more than female characters, it seems? I don't know. But about Elena's upcoming torture, I thought that, too, that not only was she around for Stefan's torture, she stalled Bonnie from sending the dangerous ghosts back so that Lexi could continue to teach her the best method to breaking Stefan! But there was no debating it, the message was spread immediately that Torturing Elena Is Wrong. Which, of course it is? Except these are vampires, and everyone's been tortured across the board, every single character except Matt, I believe. I don't know. It sounds as if I'm bashing Elena stans, but wow are the hardcore Damon stans just as bad. It's all 'but what about poor Damon, who will think of Damon? I'll never get over 3x14-3x22, NEVER!!" Also, this is just my perception of tumblr, and a lot of the time it's pretty pictures and spoilers and ENDLESS FREAKING

[badboy_fangirl]

Oh, poor pathetic picked upon Damon. I always think of Marta saying that Damon would be so offended by all the people sticking up for him. >_<

Stefan is so much more interesting when he's away from Elena, I know. We've talked about it before, but it bears repeating! It's so true.

I like that the choices I was forced to make on that story actually made it something much more than I first envisioned. And D/E fans obviously love it because of that. :D

LJ getting so quiet makes me very sad :( I just can't warm up to tumblr. There's so much content out there, and it's nearly impossible to keep track of most of it, and the tagging system is so pointless, and I hate character limit and confusing way of displaying reblogged comments. And yet, everyone seems to be moving on from LJ. But even though I do occasionally search for pretty gifsets on tumblr, I'm never tempted to start reblogging or posting there.

Oh my gosh, you have no idea how much my nephew loves Phillip Phillips. He is only two and he already knows all the words to both Home and Gone, Gone, Gone. It's really funny to hear him sing them.

Please let my know if you do get a tumblr, so I can follow you. (My URL is toolezbionic)

I really want to see 42, so I am glad to hear that it is good. Hopefully I will get a chance to one of these weekends.

[badboy_fangirl]

I've pretty much decided against the tumblr thing, but if I change my mind, I will let you know!

I hope you get to see 42! I thought it was great!

And how cute is that about your nephew? I love it when little kids have favorites of things you think they wouldn't even care about! He'll probably grow up to be very musical!
