It's April, but I'm no fool.
Apr. 1st, 2025 04:04 pm++ So, I haven't been having a good time in recent weeks.
( Brief IRL overview. )
++ Tumblr unfortunately hasn't done anything for April Fools, not even bringing back the Boops that they introduced last year (and was later brought back for Halloween) that proved to be immensely popular among the userbase. Not that I expected this to become tradition, even though it should since everyone loved it. I just expected something, especially considering the state of the world right now having a lowkey fun and silly thing would be welcome. Instead, what we got was an unwelcome and unnecessary UI update which, unfortunately, isn't a fun whimsical prank. Truly a hellsite, indeed. :/
++ Speaking of Tumblr, ever since that one list challenge of "the greatest movies of all time" was recently passed around more people have been creating their own to give, in their opinion, a better criteria or at least a more specified list of movies or other media. I've participated in a few of them, it is rather interesting and fun to see what kinds of things people put on their lists. But, just like with those "Have You Seen This...." Tumblr polls, it's all quite subjective and it makes me think about my taste in movies/media, which are eclectic and all over the place. The only one that I got the highest score from (so far) was the millennial list, which provided a surprising amount of nostalgia especially ones that I didn't think others remembered. Really proving that yes, I am a millennial, lol. Regardless, it's just fun and depending on how someone is preparing their list can be great for recommendations.
