Odin could never take responsibility for his faults. He should lock himself in solitary confinement for eternity, like he has done to two of his children.

The major resentment I have for Ragnarok Thor is his continued worship of Odin juxtaposed with his degradation of Loki and Hela. He seems blind.

All of them are massive hypocrites. Odin is the worst hypocrite. Frigga is enabling. Loki and Hela are both in a spiral of hatred and lashing out because of Odin’s projection onto them and the mentally destabilising treatment they have received. They, just like Odin, refuse to take responsibility (although Loki literally says “I’m sorry” many times in TDW and even in TR, so that is debatable.)

And Thor? Thor is healthy enough that he should figure out this dynamic and know better; he is the hero after all. Thor should both save and lead his family in order to prove he is able to be a better king than Odin. But Ragnarok Thor chooses to continue the hypocrisy, because he is blind to the problem. He begs Odin for acknowledgement and guidance, while condemning his siblings as being “the worst.”

Dude. Odin is the worst.

THIS!

You have to stop thinking you’ll be stuck in your situation forever. We feel like our heart will never heal or we’ll never get out of this impossible struggle. Don’t confuse a season for a lifetime. Even your trials have an expiration date. You will grow, life will change, and things will work out.

Dear people planning to move to pillowfort:

As someone not involved in the development of pillowfort but am a web developer, I think you should lower your expectations, but not for the reason you think.

Pillowfort is a baby. A newborn. A smol bab. If you were here during the early days of Tumblr, think of that. 

Pillowfort simply cannot be the immediate solution to your woes. It needs to be nurtured and cared for to become a mature and happy adult. 

If you want Pillowfort to work, they’ll need feedback, advice, bug reports, etc. This is a chance to make Pillowfort the Ao3 of Fanfiction.net. It’s not gonna happen overnight, you need to give it time and love and it’ll get there. 

If you don’t want to pay money to get into the beta, that’s ok. It will be open to the public soon enough and you won’t have to pay a dime. Their financial model moving forward sounds good (a subscription fee for super extra features), but even an Ao3 model would work swell for them probably. 

We’re living in an interesting time on the internet. Governments across the world are cracking down on content and yet community run websites are starting to thrive more and more. 

Tumblr once upon a time was what Pillowfort is today, but this time, let’s make sure Pillowfort can stay independent from mega corporations. 

yes this

most of the criticism i’ve seen of pf so far ultimately come back to this

is it an alright platform with a good community? yes. does it have a lot of potential? yes. does it have a lot of problems still being worked out? yes.  are the staff open and responsive? absolutely. do i recommend it? yes, if you’re willing to live in a house while it’s being built.

but it’s not a ready-made replacement for tumblr.  set your expectations accordingly.
