#An important update

[runawaymarbles]

She even went to a city council meeting

Hen Wilson my beloved. She decided on the spot to adopt her ex's baby. She relies on her own gut feelings to the point of near insanity. She is always right. She almost literally never sleeps. There is a vast conspiracy keeping her from getting laid unless it's extramarital sex with her toxic ex. She used to work for big pharma. She once committed vehicular manslaughter. She ordered a cake that looked like her best friend's head with rebar stuck through it. She revived a dead dog with CPR. She burned her wig in the sink and she isn't even anosmic. Lesbian of all time tbh.

His presentation went really well! (No one hit on him but he was prepared if they did, which is the important part).

B has a big important presentation at work tomorrow so he scheduled an hour with me this morning to run through it (over zoom, in our separate offices, with me pretending to be his customer). We played our parts impeccably without breaking character until the very end when he asked if there were any final questions and I said, very seriously, “Ah, yes. Are you single?”

He hung up on me while shouting upstairs that a hussy was trying to hit on him.

Which is, frankly, an excellent response that he can feel free to mimic in a real life scenario.

He gets a 10/10 from me.

lmao tumblr letting their users choose whether or not they want their likes to be public but then pulling a twitter 2.0 and showing your likes on your followers’ dashboards and specially saying who liked the posts in their new update, without the users’ consent or a way to turn it off, is actually pretty insane.

like how many times to we — the users — have to tell them we don’t want tumblr to be like any other social media platforms and that tumblr’s being different than twitter, instagram, tiktok is actually what makes us stay on this silly little site.

respectfully @staff you’re driving your users away. stop trying to “fix” things that are good and don’t need to be fixed. we want tumblr to be tumblr. we don’t want the site to be twitter or instagram 2.0

edit: so at first I was under the impression that you could turn off the “posts liked by blogs you follow” in your dashboard preferences, but couldn’t control how your own likes showed up on the dashboards of your followers, after I saw several posts claiming that this was the case. — however, now I think I might be wrong and it thankfully does look like as long as you have your likes set to private, they will stay private and will not be showing up on your followers’ dashboards. apologize for any misunderstanding this may have caused.

* from my understanding now, you can choose not to see other people’s likes by going to your dashboard preferences in the settings and turning off the “posts liked by blogs you follow” option, and if you have your own likes set to private, they won’t be showing up on your followers’ dashboards.

It's here.

The Shepherds of Haven Twine alpha build is live on Patreon!

What's New:

UI! A new UI for the game awaits you, including a range of visual themes to switch between light and dark mode, each with its own ‘minimalist’ version for those who favor strict readability! Stat screens, achievements, notifications, codex entries, newspaper articles, journal entries, storefronts, the day off hub, relationships, the character guide, the inventory, your room, trading cards, gambling, and so much more have been redesigned from the ground-up!

Miss the old look? Switch the font to Georgia and use the "Scholar" theme in your settings. You can even toggle "prioritize stat bars" if you want to change everything back to just stat bars!

A vast range of settings to customize your game! Includes several fonts and ways to read the text, including OpenDyslexic font, as well as toggles to disable or enable visual effects, music, and character art. 

Robust save system! Now, you can not only use 10 different save slots on your browser (including autosaves), you can also download saves directly to your device, arrange and rename them as you like, and even use them to play the game between different devices and browsers!

Interactive maps! Explore and learn about the world of Blest like never before!

Music! A gorgeous custom soundtrack for the game was designed and composed by Ivan Duch and will play at key moments in the story.

Art! New character art, character cards, collectible trading cards, background art, codex documents, bestiary notes, and so much more have now been integrated into the game. Don’t miss the absolutely gorgeous cover designed by Angela Wang!

Fully mobile compatible! Though desktop is strongly recommended for the best gameplay experience, Shepherds is mobile-compatible and feature-rich regardless of what device you play it on.

Other gameplay improvements:

Trouble and Briony are now romanceable by players of all genders.

All players can change their pronouns at any times. Pronouns do not affect romances.

Gambling is now unlocked earlier.

Two day offs is now unlocked earlier.

You can now allocate different points in magic and weaponry training to different skills, not just one at a time.

For now, the new alpha build is only available on Patreon, primarily because this is all new to me and I was working under a severe crunch after the abrupt closure of Dashingdon. Once all the bugs have been ironed out, I feel less nervy, and the dust has settled down some--and I get some semblance of a functional daily life back again--I'll get to work making a public demo available to everyone. It shouldn't be too long of a wait!

In the meantime, please consider signing up for the Shepherds of Haven newsletter: you'll be notified of only the most important announcements--including the release of the public demo, beta-testing opportunities, DLC announcements, and more. Plus, you'll get a free exclusive digital wallpaper based on Shepherds of Haven! :)

‘who asked for this?..’

Legend’s Age (An Impromptu Analysis)

It’s easy to forget, but “Mr. Experience” isn’t very old.

Twilight’s dialogue here reminds me of Legend’s character description in the first ever Linked Universe post:

“Very mature for his age” and “still young at heart.”

Legend’s responsibility

caution

and self-awareness

demonstrate that “maturity” beyond his years— but his youthfulness is pretty important to who he is in LU.

We see it in his defensive snark

and restlessness

but also in his exuberance

his softness (Twilight gets it)

and his mischief

TLDR, I’m pretty sure Jojo’s “general age list” is in descending order:
