after not getting a reply from tumblr staff to my message when the last three times i tried to go ad-free didn't work out I tried again - didn't work, got the same e-mail that i should "resubscribe" as last time - Then I bought the checkmarks to see if those work, and they... do? So now I'm guessing there's something about the recurring nature of the subscription model that just doesn't agree with paypal. or. something. idk. I haven't seen anyone else have a similar issue so I'm not ruling out that I'm just an idiot

I'm a big believer in supporting creators and platforms that bring joy to my life. That's why I have a significant list of Patreon subscriptions and pay for YouTube Premium and the Tumblr ad-free subscription. After months of communicating with Tumblr support about receiving banners advertising Tumblr products every time I log in (and in regular intervals when I stay logged in) and the feedback being "we may reconsider the frequency of those banners but they won't go away" I've canceled my subscription.
So in case anyone else was considering supporting the hellsite via the subscription, please keep in mind that "hide all ads" does not actually mean "hide all ads".
(My motivation for subscribing was described really well in this post by @submerged-in-stories. And I'm happy to subscribe again when Tumblr updates its understanding of what advertising is.)

places to donate for tigray
for those who are unaware of what is going on in tigray, omnitigray has an in-depth piece on the genocide happening right now and the history leading up to it. tigray has had an internet blackout since 2020 so there is very little accessible day-to-day information. however the atrocities that are known are clear and alarming, and the tigrayan people need attention and support.

PSA: If anyone is considering paying for Tumblr ad free to escape the ads...
The ads are excluded. From exclusion by ad free. As an opportunity graciously permitted to us, apparently.
Actual reply from Tumblr support:
Thanks for sharing your thoughts about our Netflix One Piece partnership.
You may notice a temporary dashboard tab featuring content about the show, and some sponsored posts throughout your feed for a limited time.
Tumblr Ad-Free Browsing excludes a few featured post formats on the platform. You’ll still have access to sponsored posts made by users as well as special features such as editorials and/or Tumblr takeovers.
Hey @staff got anything to add? Oh, sorry, to ad?
So yeah here's the place to complain loudly and often, I used multiple drop downs to test (and because I am filled with spite) and, unsurprisingly, the only one I got a reply on was using the category "Paid Options".
So everyone, feel free to go to Tumblr support, select Paid Options as your category, and complain in your preferred degree of politeness about how you...
CHOOSE YOUR FIGHTER!
Are going to cancel your subscription if they keep advertising on ad free
Were considering ad free but became aware that it's not actually ad free, so bad Tumblr, no cookie money

"There is no pain so great as the memory of joy in present grief." - Aeschylus
It's been so long since I touched watercolors and I've had this new paint set for a while now, so it felt like the perfect time to use it. This was another request for submitted through @twst-charity for Palestine and I was so happy to complete this! They requested creepy and cute Shroud brothers and I thought I would lean into the Greek underworld route since Idia is specifically based off of Disney's Hades. Designing his and Ortho's outfits were very fun, especially when I was able to incorporate some gold embellishments to their look to stand out and give a bit of an antique-like feel to the illustration. I liked it so much, I had to add gold to the flowers, skull, a tiny part of the pomegranate slices, and on the chalices.
Here is a better image of the glitter actually glittering but I had to tilt the image at angle for it to be seen so it's a bit cropped.
Thank you so much for donating, I adored working on this and I'm so glad that so many people are donating for the cause! If you would like to request an illustration for donation or just want to donate to other charity organizations, you can head over to @twst-charity and get started there!
Please do not edit or repost without information.

Just some of my own TMA headcanons (I’m probably just gonna keep adding to the list on occasion or maybe make another list, who knows) - Edit I made another list which is a little more chaotic I won’t lie
Also I’m interested if people have any of their own that they’d want to add because I love reading other people’s x
There will probably be spoilers in this list but I’ll try to keep it broad :) x
Tim always wears short sleeves regardless of the weather
On the opposite Sasha always got a cardigan, she might not be wearing it but it’s stashed somewhere
Jon probably bit someone as a child
Martin had a folder on his work computer with pictures of cows in it
Sasha used to keep a picture of the four of them in her desk - Not Sasha got rid of it
Distortion Helen uses her hands a lot when she speaks
Elias irons his ties and then organises them by colour (They’re all the same colour but he claims the shades are different)
Martin and Jon used to play card games but Jon stopped once he realised he always knew what Martins cards were
Tim would wear those socks with the days of the week on them but would make a point of wearing the wrong socks on the wrong days just to annoy Jon
Martin likes to collect pin badges
Sasha’s definitely thrown a pen at Tim - She threatens to throw one at Martin but never would
Tim paints his nails on occasion and convinced Martin to do it a couple times, who in turn convinced Jon to do it
Specifically series 1 Jon had Martin for secret Santa and he have him a mug with a cow on it - Jon denied it every time he was asked
Martins the better baker but Jons the better cook -
Jon will tell everyone in the kitchen to get out if he’s cooking
Martin had a nightlight while sleeping at the institute and never told anyone but Jon found it once and replaced the batteries just in case they were close to running out
Distortion Helen seems like the kind of avatar to have a load of bracelets but those ones that make noise when someone moves their arm
Edit: I just wanted to say that I’m genuinely overwhelmed by the response to this because this is first time I’ve made a post like this of my own and people have been very lovely about it all and yeah this just my little soppy thank you for it xx
