staff logging on to tumblr dot com today

#staff sweetie i Promise you an algorithm would kill this webbed site #changing the way reblogs look/work would Absolutely kill this webbed site too #this is a Blogging Platform i dont want it to be like tiktok or twitter jesus #if you NEED to change something literally listen to the the Tumblr Users you pretend you cant hear #if money is what you need make your userbase Happy and you should be fine #the shop is fine blaze posts are fine ad free subscriptions are fine but dont get rid of shit that Works For You in favor of making money #someone really laced up their clown boots today im. so tired staff please dont #tumblr staff #EDIT: staff updated their original post to say we were all misunderstanding but #that doesnt stop the post from being stupid #the whole post was worded for Investors and then presented to the userbase #if you say 'we have big changes planned!' and dont put in the 'as options' its Your Fault that people read it as 'were changing everything' #staff isnt stupid. they know how they Should have worded it better than what they did #so yeah. someone Did lace up their clown boots before they hit post #edit pt 2 lol for the record i dont think tumblr would actually go through with all their changes in that post #they know how the userbase is and there are A Lot of us #i just dont like how? idk. condescending? the post sounded #and out of every place on the internet being being burned alive in the name of money #tumblr is the one place i know enough about to be Actually mad at lol #ive really liked some stuff staff has done in recent years #but talking to your userbase that way wasnt one

i just blocked so many bots my hand hurts. we're fighting for our lives here on tumblr dot commed

#nearly brought me down a full hundred #friendly reminder that if you have no likes/reblogs on your blog Blocking Is Inevitable #and most people wont even check. if you have an untitled blog with a default icon its often an insta block #i have a feeling most people who are mistaken for bots #are from tiktok/twitter/insta #but yall pls... at least change your icons it takes 2 seconds... it can be literally anything... a stock photo from the internet... #i feel bad going on sprees bc i just Know im blocking real people purely for the crime of acting exactly like a bot #its harder to tell especially since the names are getting more creative #rampant bots and likes over reblogs... these are the dark ages of webbed site #absolutely unprompted

Is there drama with the independent wiki. Has anyone tried to resolve it thru communication and collaboration. bc having a non-fandom wiki is deeply important and we should try to nurture its existence.

#suddenly seeing ppl post abt how much they hate the independent wiki and like #and that may be valid i literally dont know #HOWEVER fandom is so bad. its so bad. #the fact that we have an independent web site is GOOD and its worth trying to fix if possible #bc nothing is worse than fandom

would it be weird if i changed a character's eye colour based entirely on what pairing they were in at the time?

#no listen. LISTEN to me. green-eyed loki works in thorki fic because you draw attention to the Contrasts between them #whereas OBVIOUSLY you want blue-eyed loki for sylki fic because you're going to go on about them being The Same #not say i WILL do this (likely won't) just saying it kind of makes sense to me #aside: series fic is overall far less “have you SEEN this man?” with its physical loki descriptions than the movies fic is #(though as mentioned before Fic Sylvie is 5ft tall with the smollest hands you ever did see so it's still a mixed bag overall) #“loki's thin weedy form trembled like a leaf in a light breeze as he climbed the stepladder so he could look thor in the eye" #“nobody recognised the swan in their midst -” madam he is tall dark and handsome with sharp cheekbones this is literally textbook beauty #...i should maybe not tag this post with anything anyone might search this webbed site for

does staff actually think people don't know what the reblog icon means

my dashboard just updated and now they actually write out "reblogged" instead of putting the icon there

also avatars are gone for. some reason.

#functional webbed site #original text post do not steal #staff must think its userbase is full of literal babies

People on the Dinner With Andre "We are prisoners in a system of our own invention that incentivises only chasing superficial entertainment for instant gratification instead of finding meaning and I'm worried this is going to be the future we live in" Speech But There's Soap Carving And Subway Surfers Taking Up Half The Screen video post being like

"Wow, the distracting colourful visuals genuinely helped me absorb the information in the clip that I otherwise would have given up on, this helped so much this is genius." like... I don't think you absorbed the meaning at all!! Maybe you listened to the words and could tell people the opinion of the character in the film clip if you had to answer on a test. Maybe you got the Data out of it, but you apparently didn't connect any of the message being stated by the presentation of the information! What is the post saying by making that particular edit! Text vs subtext vs metatext! Use of media! Subversion of format! You are what the post is about!

#we joke about media literacy a lot on this webbing site but good lord almighty ive never seen it so plain #what a text says vs what its presentation to the audience means is so fundamental 2 art.......... #i am being so pretentious right now that my eyes are bleeding #like this isnt even being ~ableist~ or whatever I literally also couldn't keep my eyes off the fucking subway surfer and soap #but i did some basic thinking about what that meant to me and how it related to the opinions expressed in the movie........ ya dig #the curtains are blue and the subway man go weee

less than thirty minutes in, i have managed to break the website

(the "here" the text is referring to is that strip of darker color that it is definitely not centered on)

#alic lore #decided to make a website hurray #well actually two websites because i told my fam that i was going to make one so i have to make them a separate site that's family friendly #and i do mean that in the closest to literal sense of the word since I told my (checks brain) ... soon to be 11 year old little brother? #also for future reference of my family tree i have five foster brothers one foster sister two foster parents and a bio dad bro and grandma #(also like. lots of bio aunts and uncles but those three are the ones ill mention the most) #(also due to the nature of them being foster siblings its possible there are more of them but the six are the ones i know abt rn) #(lost contact for a period of years so... yeah) #(alic lore in the tags tonite) #oh editing to add i should also come up with a web design tag bc i will for sure need it in the future #a lull in code? a code in chaos? a site in chaos? if anyone has suggestions or genius ideas ... lmk somehow idk

americans when not about them

#im so tiredddd. i literally share my experience and they go 'well actually that wasnt the case for me' ok but it was for me. #how is this contradictory to anything u are sayingggggg oh my god #i feel like many americans on this webbed site look down on non-native english speakers in general and they arent capable of seeing past it #like they put on their 'im talking to a foreigner' glasses and talk to u w that perspective #im not saying i wanna be treated like an american. but for many things i did have/experience an american life. and if i didnt experience it #i KNOW of it bc my friends. whom i went to school with. my classmates. etc. DID have that experience. and ive SEEN it irl. despite me. #idk. not being american #its a stupid thing to get hung over but idk man i had enough in the states of ppl looking down on me and treating me like i was stupid #just bc i wasnt from there or my parents spoke w very heavy accents and i had to translate for them sometimes #and now here. we get treated like this just bc. idk. we talk abt not being american. im jsut sick of it lmao #xarraire

Never be exposed to the twitter ecosystem. Worst mistake of my life

#literally its so. like. you can just tell people are not having a good time on that webbed site and are sooo overly agressive to anyone who #breathes #its odd i guess. and still odd to me that people use twitter first before any other webbed site #like maybe this is just my tumblr girlie of almost 9 years speaking but like. tumblr is calm these days #curate your own experience

us when we gotta sort through 3.4k words of pure raw plot to fix character issues

#in case its not obvious. we have not been updating jsjs #we've just been reorganizing stuff like scripts and external graphics n webbed site and tryna figure out the art style cuz we hate it #we're bad at thid #whatever its so inconsequential #teehee #anyhow we need to right our wrongs with environmentalism and say sorry to all women #fixing plot is a headache because literally half of the stuff we have was made by some dipshit #we were a fucking ancap when we started making this stuff ofc it's not good

hello friends! i don't know if any of you are particularly ~technical~ but if you are i'd appreciate some advice!

tumblr is refusing to let me link some posts - ofc this means there are posts i cant get into the masterlist and such. idk if anyone knows why this is?? the internet has proven, tragically, unhelpful

#not writing #this is like the third time it hasnt let me make a link in the masterpost??? whats happening in the code of this webbed site??? #it just says it cant save the post and only saves once i take the link out. literally why #ironically i put the next part for tvh in the series posts yesterday but today it refuses to go in the masterpost??? #so i assume its not a problem with the link

#im not going anywhere until this place is literally burning but just in case u guys want an alt #im gonna try to use this more often too bc its a nice web site #text toast

just read about managing adhd insomnia and there was a part that had the most basic advice of "try going to bed earlier 2-3 times a week if you know you cant commit to doing it every day. Showing up even a little is better than not at all"

and it still managed to make me cry. just that tiny bit of acknowledgement at the end of 'yeah the brain is fucked but youre trying its all good' really hit me man.. u just get used to people including professionals like therapists giving you advice which is basically 'youre not trying hard enough/you dont want it hard enough' that reading something as simple as that means a lot

#its a tiny article like thing in croatian #budenje.hr is the webbed site i literally found it like 10 minutes ago #saints row of text

I cannot fucking lie to you I've been getting yourube shorts recommended of hellova boss and I've been watching them

And it's like something I would have thought was cool in middle school to early high school..it makes me cringe now but it's like..kind of not that bad what was the problematic thing besides vivziepop apparently being a shitty employer. Was it problematic or just cringe. You guys made it sound like it violated the Geneva conventions

#the designs make me ill they all look like zim recolors. FUCK and one of them is literally voiced by richard horvitz #i do like the moth guys design. the rest of them just. ugh. its so disjointed #but if i was 15 i would probably like it. so theres that #ok the one people hated was hazbin hotel but they seem to be interchangeable to most people #on this web site #i think hellova boss at least has better designs than that one. god damn. i can sus

[hhawkeye]

im literally not getting into it but going “you cant call gerard trans bc he wore a dress” is so insane. YOU THINK THATS THE REASON? hes been talking about wearing Womens Clothes for decades like 😭 you listen to him sing I’m Her Kinda Girl And She’s My Kinda Boy and ur like hmm idk whats going on here but definitely no weird gender stuff. thats for sure. LIKE ARE YOU HEARING YOURSELF sorry im literally like 17 again and ready to scream

#also ‘but we dont know stop speculating’ girl its tumblr #like what are you talking about. it’s literally a webbed site. why are you taking this so seriously
