no, no Tumblr, i’m sorry, you’ve burned

no, no Tumblr, i’m sorry, you’ve burned through almost two gigs of data on mobile tethering in the last three days. i can’t refresh the page one more time. :( Baby you know I want to, but it’s just gigabytes and gigabytes worth of the same fucking old dogs and pictures of the sky again. Twenty versions of the astrological signs sorted by Pokemon Go teams. Some cartoon show I haven’t seen, sorted into Hogwarts houses. And then four people I care about each reblogged it, one of them twice with different commentary. 

Does anyone else here remember how on LJ it used to be etiquette to put all images behind a cut so as not to overload people’s modems?

*crickets chirp*

just me, huh? well, mobile tethering. This decade’s really expensive and exquisite version of the modem.

“Do you want me?” Rey asked, nearly whispering.

“Yes,” Poe said, making himself look up at her face and not at her breasts. They would be soft against his face, would smell so deliciously of her skin, but he wasn’t sure she was really offering them so he looked up and restrained himself.

Rey shivered, which was possibly too exciting given how closely she was pressed up against him. “I don’t understand what I feel,” she said.

“That’s okay,” Poe said. “You can try just feeling it. Do what feels right. It’s okay.”

“I don’t know,” she said. “I just– we played around and I felt so good, and– tell me what you and Finn did, I want to hear what you did.”

I might die, Poe thought, looking up at her. She was clearly aroused now, and wriggling in his lap a little bit with definite intention. “You want me to tell you a sexy real story,” he said. “Not a fantasy but a thing that really happened, just now.”

“Yes,” she whispered.

He licked his lips, and she watched him like she was hypnotized, fingers twitching in a loose grip on his shoulders. “I took his clothes off him,” he said, pitching his voice low and soft and hoarse. “He took some of my clothes off, but he got distracted. He’s so pretty, Rey, isn’t he? His body is so perfect.”

“Yes,” she said, “I like to look at it.”

“I know you do,” he said. “So do I. I like to touch it, too. I put my mouth all over him, Rey. I kissed him everywhere, I sucked on his neck.”

She wriggled a little, and he decided to respond a little. He moved his hands down toward her hips, and pulled her a little tighter against his body. “I kissed his chest, too,” he said, lower and softer, letting his voice grate a little in his chest, “sucked on the skin there a little. Do you want me to show you or just tell you? It’s up to you, baby, what makes you feel good.”

Her breathing hitched a little as she considered it. She was definitely rubbing herself against him a little, getting what friction she could from the seam of her trousers. He was starting to get hard, but he figured adjusting himself so she was rubbing on him like that would be too much.

“Show me,” she whispered.

You write the best porn tbh. Your SGA stuff is my forever favorite and this makes me want to get into SW

My forever joy about SW is how easy it is, now, to casually get into. I’ve slowly been studying up on the peripheral canon etcetera, but as a reader, I don’t give a shit if it’s canon or something the author just– made up, and I have really been enjoying people’s takes on that stuff. It does mean it’s harder to tell what’s fanon and what’s canon if you’re writing. 

*blushes* Thanks! I wish I didn’t get so hung up on plot stuff. I read another really wonderful short PWP last night and got jealous all over again. It was like. 1500 words, start to finish, with characterizations filled out in single lines, ugh. Super hot, great buildup, to the point, pithy ending. To tell the same story I’d’ve had to have had about 8k of backstory for the one POV char, 2k of input from the secondary char, maybe a flashback to the POV char’s past, a Nefarious Plot by some villain, the involvement of half the Internet in one way or another– you know? I know, I know, different people write different things, and it takes all kinds to make a world and so on, but. 

The worst part is I’d’ve probably had exactly the same amount of smut in my story as this person did in theirs. When the smut was the whole point of it, and would have been for me, too. 

My point is, I keep getting in my own way when all I really really want to write is smut, LOL. But even as I say that, I know it’s not really true; where would I be without hurt/comfort? And h/c works better with Plot. So here I am.

 but the whole point of tumblr is the visual (or, well, most of it). if all the images were behind cut tags, i’d’ve quit a long time ago. but i do remember the times you speak of. also, there’s a setting either in tumblr or xkit to not load .. pic and/or gifs. might that help?

I might need to try that. For me, the whole point of Tumblr is that there’s people talking, about things I’m interested in, and I can somewhat have a conversation. It’s not ideal. I like the pictures, usually, so I don’t want to set them to never load. But it’s just. *so much* data. And I should cull who I follow and cut it down so I don’t see the same thing over and over, but the reason I see the same thing so often is that I follow people who are interested in things, and I don’t– it’s a dilemma. Mostly what I’ve started doing is that once I’ve seen the same post twice or three times I PostBlock it, but I know I miss commentary. 

It’s just *so much* data. And of that, so much of it is just the same content over and over. And I just can’t see a way to cut that down. I don’t want to never see reblogs, because that’s 99% of the conversation. I just- what it boils down to is that this is not the ideal site for me but it’s the only place the action is happening, and I need that. I need there to be people talking.

Not just you, but also, the tumblr data usage is ginormous compared to what even a pic spam post takes. To the point where on a lot of my devices, tumblr is set to wifi only access.

That’s really what it comes down to. It’s a lot of redundant content, but it’s also a random data hog. For no reason– I can be looking through, hell, pages of just huge images, and they load, and that’s fine. I can go to YouTube and watch whole fucking movies. And it’s still less data than scrolling down a couple screenfuls of this site, half of which are textposts, with all the ads blocked. It just takes so much data, and I’m not getting any return on it. I could honestly sit and watch entire porn movies with the ads not blocked and be burning through less data. (NB that is what my dude assumes I’m doing when he looks at our usage logs. He’s like, man whatever you want, and I’m like, I swear it’s not porn, and he’s like, you do you. Which is healthy and good, but. Not what’s happening.) 

Anyway. I didn’t mean to sound like a curmudgeon last night. The point of this site, for me, is what all of y’all have to say. And I like seeing who reblogs what. It’s just. Oh my god. I only get to hit refresh once out in the yurt, that’s just how it is. Please tag me in anything you think I really ought to see, and I apologize in advance if you post something really important that happened to you and I just don’t see it.
