[and of course, with 'callout culture' i do feel a little wary about going through archives, i might like to say, please don't block me, i'm not combing for receipts, i just really am enjoying the material' ]
[i was reading some of my own oc tumblr archive just this week, looking at how i've changed and how much 'stuff' i did put out there, because i wanted people to find value in my thoughts and my Take on The Shit. i told myself last time i did that that people on dw do follow you for your stuff, not your 'curation', and that i should back up my old original stuff even if it's totally 'off-topic'. like i ever cared about consistency more than superficially ]
