Leaving Tumblr

Last night, my account was terminated. I don't know why. I was in the middle of using the site when suddenly I was locked out. No warnings. No announcements. Nothing. I was an absolute wreck. I couldn't eat or sleep. There was no word from Tumblr's management team. I could only explain what happened and sit on my hands. I felt utterly helpless waiting and hoping for a miracle. I had a home here. I had friends who became family. People that I love. Fandom that was my absolute joy and honor to participate in. It was all ripped away for no reason at the drop of a hat. My work. My mutuals. My home. Gone. Just like that. I couldn't say goodbye. I didn't know if or how I'd be able to find my moots again. I was able to create a second account called @loycspotting-thee2 and wracked my brain trying to remember my friends' usernames while terrified that that account would disappear too. I couldn't focus on anything. I was completely distraught. Thankfully, a miracle did happen and my account was magically reactivated. Again, no warning. No one reached out and explained what happened. One moment it was here, gone the next, then here again. In all my years of being on social media, I've never feared that a platform would kick me off like that until last night. I stayed up reading story after story of people who have used Tumblr, some of them holding accounts for YEARS with thousands of followers, logging on just to find it wiped from existence on any random day. This is a serious and repetitive issue, but not apparently to Tumblr. I may not have been a Tumblr user for long, but this incident has irrevocably broken my trust. No amount of saving and cataloging and backing up my account will protect me from being a victim of this website's carelessness. I would always have to worry if I'd be the unlucky user of the day that got their account deleted with no guarantee that it would be reactivated. I cannot and will not live in fear that everything I've created and the home I've found will be taken from me again against my will. Therefore, I have decided that the best option for me is to deactivate my account and say goodbye on my own terms. I am absolutely heartbroken to come to this decision. This has been the most unreal online space. I loved it here! It was everything I've been looking for and I only regret not signing up the first time I heard about it all those years ago. I love being in the Ewan McGregor fandom! Where it's not just a fandom. It's a fanhome 😁. I found my voice here, as well as people who heard me. People who understood me. This was my absolute favorite place to be, bar NONE. I felt fulfilled writing and reviewing. There were so many more things I wanted to do and experience with you guys. It was you who encouraged me. You listened, reblogged, commented, and messaged. You accepted me. From the bottom of my heart I love my mutuals. Even if we don't follow each other, if we've talked or interacted with each other's posts I love you too. I love the passion and creativity flowing through this site. I don't know what will happen with the Ewan McGregor Screentime Percentage project. I'm not ready to quit just yet. Maybe I'll start a Reddit or letterboxd account. Of course, for the writing, I can consider joining Ao3. If you want to keep in touch, then I implore you to message me so we can work something out. The friendships I made here are paramount to everything else. I'm going to leave this up for 9 days (or until I'm terminated again 🙄) to give myself time to get things in order. On September 1st, I will say goodbye.

(Ewan Matchmaker Game)

After much deliberation, the Matchmaker has decided that your perfect boyfriend is Michael! (Perfect Sense)

You like the challenge of a fixer-upper and Michael is just the man for you! He's charming and oh so handsome, but doesn't think that he will fall in love again. Behind his kind smile are dark secrets that he's afraid will make you leave him if you knew. He will be a very gentle and attentive boyfriend to you. He will love to personally cook for you and give you the VIP treatment when you visit his restaurant. Just take things slow and let him know that you're someone he can depend on. Eventually, he will bare his heart to you and your love will be strong enough to withstand anything.

Thanks for playing!

What an interesting choice! Thank you for the game! It's fun!

It is sweet that you almost wrote a ficlet about our relationship! XD

THANK YOU!

22. (A Brief) Ewan McGregor Movie Review: Young Adam (2003)

I haven't made a post in awhile, especially a Ewan movie review. I had started working on the Screentime Percentage about a month ago and then life happened and it got shelved 🫤. I didn't want to leave it halfway done so I finally finished tallying his SP this week! However, this won't be a regular review and I can't guarantee that I'll go back to my original format. I still enjoy tallying the SP but honestly, I've fallen out of love with the review writing portion. It's just a lot and I figured I might as well just do the part I enjoy instead of forcing myself to do the part I don't. So that's my little update!

Synopsis: "Young Adam" is about Joe Taylor, an amoral drifter, who discovers a dead woman's body while with his workmate. As the rest of the town is swept up in the sensational story, Joe is slowly consumed by his secret that he alone knows the true fate of the mysterious woman.

Screentime Percentage: Ewan is on screen for 69/98 minutes making his SP 70%. This means that Rogue Trader has finally been knocked out of the #1 spot!

To Ewan or not to Ewan: Is the movie worth watching for Ewan alone? Yes. Outside of the high SP, this is also an erotic movie so there's lots of sexy Ewan content. I counted seven sex scenes plus one implied, ten shirtless scenes, five kissing scenes, and two nude scenes (one ass shot and the other frontal nudity). This isn't even including the nudity performed by women. There's also the infamous Custard Scene™️ which you just have to experience for yourself. Is the movie worth watching in general? No. I've seen it a few times now and it just fails to interest me. Maybe the book is better but the movie is plain boring.

Where to Watch: It's currently uploaded for free on YouTube.

Made my first MCR necklace last night!

I chose the song Disenchanted because it's one of my favorites. I also felt like it's something different, like, not what you'd expect for MCR jewelry/kandi.

At first I wasn't sure if I loved it. I have synesthesia (and a weird brain in general) and I wanted to make the necklace match the colors of the song. Inevitably I got a bit overwhelmed playing around with the beads and getting them in the best order I could. Why is this such a big deal to me? The world may never know lol. But the more I look at it the more I like it. And I can now say that I'm very proud of it.

Initially, I was going to have the D-I-S be black letters and the rest be white. I felt like that would be unique on its on own AND THEN I realized that the word "dead" could be spelled inside "disenchanted" and I felt like that was super MCR coded so I went with that. That's what I'm most proud of. 😁
