You know, an interesting tumblr transformation that's happened gradually, and which I've seen no one talk about: ask-culture has essentially dropped off to nothing.

By which I mean, asks used to be WAY more of the tumblr economy. They used to be more common to send, and receive, and see. They were integral to the collaborative, forum-like behavior of old tumblr communities, not even to speak on the HUGE number of ask-blogs that used to exist to only be interacted with in ask-form.

I'm not saying this in a vying-for-attention way but instead in an observational way: I used to get way way more asks in like 2015, even with a fraction of my follower count. I wonder if it's due to the homogenization of social media sites? There's a lot more of this divide between "content creator" and "consumer" instead of just a bunch of peer blogs who would talk to each other. "Asks" aren't really a thing on twitter, are they? And as I understand it, the closest thing to an "ask" on instagram or tiktok would be a creator screenshotting some comment and responding to it in a new reel or video or whatever those content mediums are. Are asks just too tumblr-specific? Is that aspect of the site culture dying out as more and more people converge to using all their social media sites in the same way?

amy is super into horoscopes and uses them to diagnose her friends’ problems. rouge knows the horoscopes super well but only so she can purposefully say The most wrong ones around amy to piss her off. rouge is like “sorry my capricorn is in venus and my bingbong is in gatorade” and amy’s like “WHAT”

So I think the best strat here is for the users who did get the new layout to just stop using the desktop version of the site for a while, like a week or a month or however long their 'experiment' is supposed to last, while the users who didn't get the new layout should keep using the desktop version like normal or, perhaps, use it even more than usual.

My guess is that they're doing basic A/B testing on the new layout to see if it would boost engagement: the userbase is split roughly 50/50 between the 2 versions and they are going to be comparing the engagement data between the 2 groups of users to see if it's worth it switching everyone to the new layout or not.

Basically, if you got the new layout and don't like it - don't use it. If engagement metrics of group B (new layout) are lower than those of group A (no change), the experiment will be considered a failure and they will have to reverse the change.

If your tumblr suddenly looks like twitter - it's a sign to log off and go touch some grass! (or just use the mobile app since that engagement data isn't relevant to this particular experiment)

Hey I might be forgetting something but. is this legitimately the first time someone has described Sonic's positive traits out loud in the whole show. I feel like there's been general "you're strong and helpful" comments here and there, but when's the last time someone showed this kind of confidence in him without any caveats?

Sonic doesn't even get to hear Nine say these nice things about him, either. And what does he get told by him instead?

Most of what Sonic gets to hear from other people in this show is all the ways he's messed up, how he's too reckless and untrustworthy, and I think it really would've helped him at this point to hear someone show that kind of confidence in him. But now his only frame of reference for what Nine thinks of him is this last argument, and that's definitely gotta sting.

But you know who else could've used a vote of confidence, and who got one while he wasn't around to hear it, only to be told the opposite during that fight? Nine.

Yeah I feel totally normal about this why do you ask
