i don’t give a FUCK what an actor has to say about their show or the relationships their character has because fiction is in the hands of the audience and we can make it whatever we want!!!!!!!!! (this does not apply to cw actor misha collins who has risked life and limb to type Cas is gay. on the final night of pride three years after the finale of supernatural. cw actor misha collins is my best friend long live gay castiel)

you see. a lot of people on this site have started to use “broke containment” when any post gets popular outside of their circle of friends, but its original use was when it was a vague fandom post (usually supernatural) gets reblogged by people outside the fandom

As @staff further refine the polls while they’re rolling them out (still haven’t gotten mine sadly), here’s a suggestion of mine: Polls with a ten year time limit.
As of right now, it’s impossible for polls to turn into long-running legendary posts. You can try, sure (see the bug race), but it’s a week and then it’s locked, fixed, done, and all that’s left is for people to reminisce about that time there was a poll.
On the other hand, if a ten year poll gets popular, it can become part of Tumblr lore while still being updated. People can write passionate appeals for their vote and fight in the notes. Others can make graphs to show how the poll’s majorities shift with each different US president or Taylor Swift album. People can make memes about “remember 2025, when option 3 was in the lead? That was a crazy time”.
Why ten years, though, instead of a hundred or just no time limit? Because that way, the end becomes an event. People who voted in the poll when it was just a few hours old can watch the final countdown together, and there’s a new point in Tumblr history: That day when we finally all agreed on the best option, and presumably also some important political stuff happened.
Now, granted, most ten year polls would never reach this level of notoriety. But it only takes a few polls like this to be worthwhile. Maybe this shouldn’t be an option for users to select, but something the Tumblr website grants/pushes on you at random?
So, yeah. Ten year polls. They should be a thing.
Can you imagine the chaos of a 10 year poll with the options
