More personal Eterna AU notes! Partially for my writing reference, partially for my DRAWING reference, if I ever manage to get the layer drawing done and not just thought out.

Empurata Shockwave's Layered Armour, or: Being Made Into A Living Weapon By Flatline On Megatron's Orders

Layer 0: Skin and 'feathering' (moth wing feathering, located on wings and the sides of his neck, protecting sensitive areas). Technically not armour, but relevant. Covered in open, infected pressure sores, friction burns, and bruises that never quite manage to heal. Shockwave is unable to actually get to his skin to provide medical attention or to clean himself, so infection is rampant, as well as cracking, painful skin from the inability to clean. Open sores have led to the next few layers of armour becoming embedded in his skin. Left arm is wasted and atrophied, bent at an odd angle and clearly unusable from the elbow down. Neck is severely scarred, both front and back. Chest and abdominal scaling is weak and brittle, with broken edges digging into skin. Side of chest is extremely scarred and infected due to a hastily and inexpertly repaired blaster wound. It has not healed fully and has not for quite some time, by all appearances. Chest ports are inflamed and dirty, a data cable welded into one of said ports to act as a bridge, as all ports will be unavailable otherwise due to increasing armour layers. Dual secondary feeding ports in side of neck and stomach are consistently inflamed, with the stomach one being the worse off and unusable.

Layer 1: Clothing. Or rather, remnants of clothing. Synthetic fiberweave tank top and shorts, originally used as a protective under layer for his former armour, to prevent it from rubbing. With Shockwave unable to remove his outer layers of armour, however, the clothing has decayed, with bits of filthy, sweat and rust-crusted fibers becoming enmeshed in open pressure sores and digging its way into Shockwave's flesh. Remnants of clothing -- neckline and waistline, specifically -- have constricted with time and movement, resulting in 'rope burn'-like injuries to waist and shoulder girdle (Trapezius). What few bits remain of said clothing will crumble into dust when touched.

Layer 2: First actual armour layer. Thin sheets of metal welded into the rough shapes of proper armour, then forcibly welded to Shockwave's skin itself. Most of this layer has rusted through, and actually consists more of rust and holes than any actual usable metal at this point. Much of this rust, or the sharpened leftover bits of rusty metal itself, has become embedded in the pressure sores in the skin underneath it. This armour is literally held on by its welds into Shockwave's skin, and he cannot access them to rip it off. This layer causes constant pain when moving. another male-to-male data cable is spliced into the first one, creating a chain for cable access.

Layer 3: 'Repair' layer for the first layer. Welded alternately to the welds against skin or to the remnants of the second itself. Most of the welds to the rusted layer have failed, leaving the armour hanging on, once again, to skin. This layer is slightly more formed, though still rough and clunky. A few millimeters thicker as well, so rust is not quite as pervasive. Holes still litter the metal, though, and individual pieces are worn through at joints, creating sharp edges. Another short male-to-male cable is spliced in, continuing to provide access to the data port in Shockwave's chest.

Layer 4: First layer of actual plate armour. Micro-scale plate. Energy-weapon deflection, looks like roughly-beaten dragon scaling armour. More maneuverable than the layer underneath, almost serving as a chain-mail that covers Shockwave from head to toe, including wrapping around his arms and legs loosely, catching on the layer beneath in some places. This is the first layer to completely cover the abdomen and neck, leaving only the neck feeding port available for use. Increases Shockwave's bulk significantly. Male-to-male cable of the previous layer is threaded in between scales to hang loose, also preventing the chestplate scales from moving entirely freely.

Layer 5: Second layer of plate. Segmented, overlapping plates of thickened metal that tapers to a thin edge on the 'bottom' of each plate, acting as some kind of blast-protection while still allowing for movement. Each plate is welded to the one behind/next to it, with the larger base plates physically riveted to Layer 3, through Layer 4. This is the first layer to cover the backs of the fingers, and extend the length of the legs via lengthening boots that are heavily segmented, increasing Shockwave's height by 3 feet. Another male-to-male cable is welded in place, continuing the fire-hazard data cable. This one, however, is actually welded into a chestplate segment instead of hanging loose, providing some stability. This is the layer the incredibly heavy blaster that covers his wasted, useless left arm is welded to, preventing its removal entirely.

Layer 6: 'Padded' immobilization shell. Think riot gear armour. Thick and heavy metal and ceramic combination plate, adding additional blast protection and massively increased body mass. Leg armour is reinforced with visible struts, and the lengthening boots are reinforced as well, including an additional layer of shock absorbers and a magnetized sole to the boots themselves, increasing Shockwave's height another 2.5 feet. Male-to-male cable is plugged into the previous layer's weld, and this one is forced into a pseudo-port and welded in place. This layer's neck-armour is reinforced, limiting the movement of Shockwave's head. This is also the layer that adds 'racks' to Shockwave's back, in between his wing-coverings, and running around to his chest itself to hold the belt of energy cartridges that feeds his blaster-arm. A cable that runs from the blaster itself is attached to a sensor that allows feeding of the cartridges, and a secondary sensor is spliced into the back of Shockwave's neck, allowing for soul-shots using his own spark's energy should he run out of physical ammunition.

Layer 7: Outer plate layer. The layer that bots typically see, that is painted and bears the insignia of a faction. Thicker than normal, but heavily segmented to allow the appearance of ease of movement. Completely covers all the other underlayers, as well as provides a backpack/front pack that is welded to him, covering the blaster belt. Access to change/reload the belt itself is through a hatch in the front of the pack, easily accessible one-handed This entire setup is streamlined with the rest of Shockwave's body, making it impossible to see what he is carrying underneath this layer. It forces his chestplate out, but biolights are built into the chestplate 'front pack' covering, connected to the real biolights that are actually located in the sides of his neck, underneath the remnants of his feathering, allowing him to control them, so it appears as though he just has massive headlights built into his chest. Data cable access port is through another hatch just under this jutting-out portion of hist chestplate, and is the only access to the under-layer of armour that Shockwave has.

Layer 8: Spot welds! Individual plates covering cracks in the previous layer. Spotty and few, but adds a slight bit more protection to the cracked areas that could not be repaired by a simple solder.

In total, Shockwave's mass is increased by nearly 1500 percent. It does a NUMBER on his skeleton.

Hello, Tumblr. 

If you joined us before November 2022 and predominantly post on web, you will be familiar with the two post editors—the legacy editor and the “new” web editor (formerly known as the “Beta editor”).

Beginning May 15, we’ll gradually be working to remove the legacy editor as an option for creating new posts. New posts created on web will be created in the new web editor. We hope to complete this change by July 15. 

This change only affects accounts created before November 2022. Newer accounts already default to the new web editor.

This will not affect posting on the apps because we switched to this new editor on the apps about four years ago. If you use the apps, you’ve been using the new editor all this time!

This will not affect what you can include in a post, only how you get there: You can still include all the different types of media in a post, only now, you’ll do that via the new web editor’s content blocks instead of selecting a post type from the post type bar at the top of your dash. So, if you’re halfway through a text post, and you decide that what this post really needs is your pet reptile, then click on the little red image icon in the post editor, select an image, and voilà. Lizard boy steals our hearts.

If you still prefer to post on web using the legacy editor, please keep reading because the rest of this post is for you.

How can you prepare for this change?

Once we have completed this update, you won’t be able to create posts using the legacy editor. You will be able to edit posts made using the legacy editor, at least for now. 

Start using the new web editor ahead of the switch. This will help you help us troubleshoot any issues you might encounter. It’ll also mean you’ll already know the ropes before the switch is final. 

Talk to us. Send us feedback. Especially if you’re switching from legacy to the new web editor. We want to hear about your experience: Are there any specific workflows or features in legacy that you want to see in the new editor?      

If you use a theme, make sure to check whether it supports posts made using the new web editor, and update it if that’s not the case. 

For those of you trimming reblogs: @rpschtuff has created an incredibly detailed master post that gets into the nitty gritty of that practice in the new web editor.

XKitters: XKit Rewritten was explicitly designed with the new web experience in mind. This means that you will need to use XKit Rewritten when creating posts in the new web editor.

That’s all for now. Remember, you can always get in touch with us. If it’s regarding the new web editor, then Support is the place for you. If it’s about something else, @wip is your guy.

Old Tumblr Dashboard (Userstyle)!!

I created a Userstyle for the Chrome/Firefox Stylus Extension that reverts the new dashboard to the old look!

You need to have Stylus installed. So if you don't have it:

Install the Stylus Firefox Addon or the Manifest V2 Chrome Extension (You can install Chrome Extensions on Edge as well)

Once it's installed into Firefox/Chrome/Edge you can proceed with adding this style or any other.

To add the style (Stylus), follow the instructions:

Go to this link: https://userstyles.world/style/11286/old-tumblr-dashboard-july-2023

Click on "install".

Style will open a tag with it and in the left side you'll have a button that says "install style", click there. (Step-by-step copied from the lovely dorothyoz39 who wrote this in a reply!) If you don't want the sticky header you can remove the labelled script at the top of the css below /* Sticky Header*/

For Manifest V3 only Chrome Or Stylus incompatible browsers:

For Chrome Manifest V3 install the Tampermonkey Extension

Then add the Tampermonkey Backup Script instead of the Stylus version

https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/492279-old-tumblr-dasboard-backup I highly recommend you switch to Firefox for continued use of good extensions! Stylus does not have a V3 update yet; however, the tamermonkey script works just as good.

Be sure to check for updates regularly and if you'd like, consider supporting me on Ko-Fi https://ko-fi.com/pixiel !

I'm currently taking donations so I can afford a much-needed wheelchair, so please check out my GoFundMe for more details! Any Ko-Fi donations will be added manually to the GoFundMe

..::::HOW TO UPDATE::::..

click the Manage button on Stylus and click the check for update button next to the userstyle, then click again to install!

Make sure to check the Userstyle and see if the version number matches the one below if you don't see any changes!

NEW UPDATE: 18/11/24 (D/M/Y) 01:28PM BST v16.3

v14.11: Made Premium Perks button available in the bottom left corner for all premium users v15.2: Fixed the Tumblr fuckup AND added a cool new feature that allows you to customise the look of your header & hide the reply-to-replies button if you like, here's how to customise this. Set to "Block" if you want the button/icon visible, Set to "None" if you want it hidden! V15.5: Given labels to options for clarity - now says 'show' or 'hide'! You can also fix the positioning of the Communities button and subnav from this menu as well - it should remember your settings when you update!

v15.9: The Boopdate! V16.0: Fixed Search view pages and made them look normal, unfortunately, I can't bring back the dropdown menus for "top"/"All Time" etc - but it should look more like the original now v16.3: Minor tweaks to make search pages look better

Tumblr Post Width & More (OTD+ Userstyle) Is now available!!

OTD+ is an add on for Old Tumblr dashboard that you can use to edit the Post Width, Content Positioning & More - It must be used with Old Tumblr Dashboard installed as well on the latest update! This style might be merged with OTD in the future.

THE CREATOR OF THIS USERSTYLE SUPPORTS THEIR TRANS SISTERS. WE'RE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER!

Check the readmore for the changelog, custom code & known issues!

----- Known issues:

Only two columns in Masonry view. Semi-Unfixable, Tumblr creates columns based on monitor size, if I try adding another column (because it doesn't exist) it just perpetually loads on screen. Semi-fix: Zoom out in chrome/firefox and it adds more columns, you may need to change the font size of the page though

Search bar doesn't appear on some pages (like viewing a post), this is because Tumblr removed the search bar on those pages completely. Unfixable but not a big deal

Tumblr has ONCE AGAIN CHANGED THE ACCOUNTS MENU. The menus are now shorter and have less information on them. This is unfortunately permanent. I do not see any way to fix this. Unfixable.

If you want people's icons to stay fixed in place, instead of scrolling with the dashboard change this in Stylus;

Or if you're using the tampermonkey version

Find text:

.NLCTe > div.Evcyl > div > div > .So6RQ.YSitt > .ge_yK > .c79Av > article > header > .RYkKH > .nZ9l5 { pointer-events: auto; top: 55px; transition: top .25s; position: -webkit-sticky; position: sticky; } and replace it with;

.NLCTe > div.Evcyl > div > div > .So6RQ.YSitt > .ge_yK > .c79Av > article > header > .RYkKH > .nZ9l5 { pointer-events: auto; top: 0px; transition: top .25s; position: absolute; }

Solved issues: (Update)

Menus need to be manually closed SOLVED! in V.4 and updated in V.5! The menu & icon WILL scroll with you if you have removed the sticky header CSS, however, clicking anywhere on screen will make the Menu disappear still.

Masonry view in searches is now fixed!

Resized Messenger Chat Box!

NEW UPDATE 16/08/23, 23:55 BST v6.5: Figured out how to reorganise the icons in the header. Let me know if you have any problems with it and make sure to update your Userstyle! Some icons are hidden with Display: Block; you can hide more icons with this method!

Solved issues p2

Brought back SOME of the icons for Tumblrs latest update - Unfortunately, this does not bring back user icons for Reblogged posts! Make sure to yell at Tumblr for removing the icons as well as the horrible dashboard update here! v7.5 Fixed icons for all posts and put them back where they came from!

v6.9.6.9 (I promise this is the last funny number): Fuck Off Buggy The Clown Update + All languages support for the old header design!

v7.0: Fixed the search bar for tumblrs new collections feature, so it looks like the original search bar!

v8.0: Fixed masonry view icons, hidden the reblog icon on dashboard icons, fixed icons in blog viewport

V8.1: Fixed issue with icons not working on soft-refresh & with endless scrolling disabled - be sure to complain to staff!

v9.3: Changed a few things with the search feature, I also made the posts less round.

UPDATE2 11/04/2024: SO We mighhtttt have overrun their servers. 😅 I'm getting a 500 Internal Server Error every time I try to fix it or upload it as a new style - the massive influx of people downloading the userstyle was probably too much. The Tampermonkey backup on Greasyfork works just fine though! Probably easier for a lot of people migrating anyway! UPDATE 11/04/2024:: My code has broken on Userstyles.world, (it is now fixed as of 12/04/24) until this is fixed I have created a Tampermonkey Backup Version of the Userstyle so feel free to use this version if you've broken yours!

https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/492279-old-tumblr-dasboard-backup

v9.6: Moved the Following | For you | Your Tags to below the create a post panel. Fixed the Accounts Menu! + Bugfixes V10.3: Patio compatibility. Added a way to hide the Patio button & "patio feedback?" button, just search for patio in the code and follow the instructions! v11.0: Temporary Chat feature fix after Tumblr broke it, fixed some positioning issues and j/k scrolling!

v12.3: Fixed a text issue (my bad!), I undid the changes to the replies function and added a way to fix icons order for when you get the communities update!

v12.5: Update to make compatible with the Content Positioning using Tumblr Post Width & More (OTD+ Userstyle) v12.6: Post buttons fixed, icons unable to be fixed yet as I haven't got the tumblr changes just yet - but I will fix them asap!

v11.7: Communities Update, changed the new search bar on communities page to resemble the old one. The search bar still doesn't work on these pages yet for some reason. Blog view icons fixed. v13.0: The icons change should now have a working patchfix! BIG THANK YOU to arcadian-asgardian for sending me the screenshots I needed and testing if it worked. + Minor tweak, communities button resized to fit the rest of the icons better v13.2: Mini fixes now that I have better access to the new changes! Communities icon re-centered, usernames nudged back into place.

V13.5 & v13.7: Nuked the Go Premium button - Re-positioned the search bar on search pages v13.10: Changed a lot of the new look for replies - it's not perfect yet mind. Small bug with the "..." menu moving to the left with shorter replies. Looks a lot more like the old replies section though! Made it possible to remove the reply to reply button just search for "NEW Replies UI" in the userstyle and remove the /* */ around "display: none" OR use Ublock to block the element! v14.1: Reverted the "Original Poster" border + text to look like old version. Edit: Whoops, fixed an issue with showing the timestamps

v13.4: Added a way to fix the communities icon position if you don't have the New Xkit button or have hidden any of the icons. Just remove the highlighted /* */ pair in the code for what you need.

hi i just woke up what is up tumblr new post typing box. I feel like I'm fucking drunk. weird dream. weird Al dream! I didn't sleep off my night meds

I JUST remembered the entire dream a moment ago and it's gone >:(

all I remember now is that I kept waking up every couple of hours going "I need to look up and see if Weird Al can actually officiate weddings or not!!" then falling back asleep

lemme go look that up

okay he can't. well damn. editing to add a pic of Allie because there was a readmore that wasn't showing up and I need my morning thoughts to not be so out there when I can't. think

[pacifymebby]

I love your content but could you please add a "readmore" function in the longer posts to make it more comfortable for us mobile users - thanks a lot!!

Bestie as a mobile user i can't most of the time sorry 😭😭 There isn't an option for it on my phone so I go back and edit them back when i have access to my laptop... Which isn't very often because i write most of this stuff when I'm between places or on my break at work ://

[gachaparadise]

okay this is my miscellaneous rolls post because i keep fucking forgetting to post my fate rolls. i chatted to much so. readmore be upon you o(-(

for Wuwa - i picked up Jiyan on a whim. they aren't exactly releasing a lot of fellows and i'm not exactly playing a lot so like. I'm sorta ambivalent about the loss of primos. i lost the 50/50 at 30 to the shielder lady and got Jiyan at 70. i've got about half a guarantee left so if i actually play a little more i'll probably have enough when they get around to dropping another guy.

the aforementioned fate rolls - I got np3 Huang Feihu ^w^ i spent... 2 ten pulls? 3? i have caps that i'll attach when i get back on mobile tomorrow but i digress. i've been waiting for him to drop so the fact he went easy on my makes me very happy. i was debating going a little harder for a copy of Huyan Zhuo because she was fucking cute this event but. Britomart is just around the corner and i recently decided i want to 120 Gil so i need an extra copy so i kinda need to stock up for his banner in January >_> I might have to go light on my Brito rolls to facilitate this, so Huyan is out of the question unfortunately :(

other then that? i'm rolling a little on the Nahida banner coming up in GI. I'm saying it's for a copy of Sethos but if she felt like dropping by in like. 30ish pulls i would not be mad ehe >_o

edit: just editing this instead of making a new post! got Sethos in 3 ten pulls ( my usual budget for 4 stars) so thats good! a little bummed i didn't get an early 5 star but... i forgot how ass it is trying to use Nahida on controller so it twas for the best.

i did completely forget ororon was coming out soon though... god i hope them put him on a banner i at least kind of like. because if i budget him 3 ten pulls... and add that to the 30 pity... we're getting awfully close to soft pity >_> if he's not cooperative and i have to go harder i'm gonna be getting a 5 star along the way. i can't not go hard though, i have a 100% tall male collection i can't be caught slacking on that.

xKIT PART 3: EDITABLE REBLOGS (now known as Trim Trail Items)

So, for this example, I'm going to be using a few friends' posts that I've seen go wonky (their text and images will be blurred, it's simply for example purposes) to show you some little errors that don't happen in comparison to the new version of xKit.

Now, I'm someone who is newer to xKit, but I've used both versions.

*There is no preferences section, which is why it's not included.

Part 1 || Part 2

EDITABLE REBLOGS (because that's what us roleplayers really want, let's be honest.)

HOLD ON--PANIC MODE! I CAN'T FIND THE REBLOG EDITOR!

First of all--take a breath. Cutting posts is easier, but it's located in a different spot.

Step 1 is to enable the beta editor on Tumblr.

If this is what your editor looks like, then you are currently still on the legacy editor. You absolutely need to switch to the Beta Editor. If you're not sure how to do that:

Looking in the upper right hand corner of your browser, you will see the toggle for your beta editor. Make sure you don't have a post in there. It will absolutely wipe whatever content you have in there. Save it to something else and you should be able to paste it back in, though you may have to contend with fixing a little formatting.

Most keyboard shortcuts still work in this editor, and for the most part, it appears the same as the legacy editor. You have your title, your blog dropdown, your option to add cuts/readmore, music, links, all of that. Some options, like changing to indented, bulleted lists, numbered lists, or bigger text are found when you select a block of text. This is the same way that it functions on the mobile editor.

FUN FACT: Ever resize your window and have your entire post disappear because it switched editors? This is because the "mobile" version of Tumblr uses the Beta Editor as its DEFAULT EDITOR. When you resize your browser window down, it detects the resolution of your browser, and will automatically switch to a more mobile-friendly (or reduced screen size) view for you. If you're using the beta editor, you can resize all you like, and you won't lose your posts!

Now, let's see what the Editable Reblogs actually look like now.

The posts above are all from DASH VIEW (or blog view, in this specific case -- as I was viewing one of my dud blogs. I was going to rename this blog, but I don't play to play this character, so I'll leave the blog up for people to actually view and see how it works. Panicking because you forgot to cut your draft? Don't-- you can cut right from the dash, too. Look for the little scissors!

This portion is actually from drafts. What it effectively done is just "removes old trail items" -- meaning that it removes everything BUT the last item. See that cute little scissors icon? THAT'S IT. THAT'S YOUR EDITABLE REBLOG. THAT'S HOW YOU CUT. You click that cute little scissors icon, and bam. THAT. IS. IT.

No backspacing.

No fucking up when you delete too much. (been there, done that.)

No fucked up formatting for your friends who use icons looking weird among the indents.

It preserves it. It preserves the new formatting. It does not accidentally post your drafts when you go to save the draft. THEY STAY.

*one small issue I have noticed is that you need to cut BEFORE you post. It was giving me issues before, but it's possible that the issue has been fixed. It did not appear to cause an issue in these drafts but be forewarned about it. Just hit cut before you edit the draft! Remember - draft, cut, write. DRAFT, CUT, WRITE. DCR. DRAFT CUT WRITE.

SO WHAT DO THEY ACTUALLY LOOK LIKE?

Let's remember for a second what the old cut reblogs look like... and what funky things happened to them.

Now, let's look at something in the new post editor. Here's what a post with some images looks like that's saved in my drafts:

Here's what it looks like after we've cut it. Note that the new xKit version does not, in any way, alter the actual FORMATTING of the original post. This is what the legacy editor does; it changes the formatting of the post, which is why you get all kinds of weird issues like images making your first paragraph indented and no matter how many times you mess with it, it just doesn't work. You don't have to remove images from your partners' posts so the formatting works, because there's nothing being changed with the formatting in the first place.

THE FINAL STEP: MY OLD REPLIES ARE STILL IN THE LEGACY EDITOR. WHAT DO I DO????

Sometimes, you may run into the issue where, in attempting to cut, it will tell you that legacy posts cannot be cut/altered from your drafts. There's two workarounds to this.

Workaround #1: REPOST IT! This one is the simplest. Take your last reply, copy it into a new post, and start again from there. The same way you might when moving asks to a new post if someone didn't already make a new post from it.

Workaround #2: Edit from the mobile app. Note that I specified the mobile app; this is the only way I've found that works for me. I went into my original post (meaning the VERY FIRST POST OF THE REBLOG CHAIN -- so the very first post you posted to start that thread), edited it from the mobile app (iphone, ipad, android phone or tablet, whatever fits your fancy) and just changed something small--bold a word, italicize a word, change a punctuation, something that made the post fundamentally different.

This pseudo-forced it into the new post format, and from there, I was able to cut. Posts made in-between that were edited with old xKit won't matter--they'll just stay as they were, and you don't have to touch them. Only the first post of the thread matters in this case.

REGARDING USERS USING OLD XKIT:

Please note, if you're still using the old xKit for editable reblogs, but your partner is using the new one, they will not be able to cut your posts. The old xKit outright changes the reblog structure and puts their old reply as part of your new reply, while removing EVERY old trail item including their old one (and it appears as nothing more than indented text in your response). As a result, there's nothing to actually cut for the new xKit, so your partners won't be able to cut. You need to be aware of this if you've decided not to make the transition. Don't go bitching to your mutuals for not cutting their posts when they are using the new version and you're still on the old one. Either run both if you're still going to use an old, glitchy addon, or switch entirely. Otherwise, deal with it.

different anon. it does for some people but not everyone. (also, some people may find the feature annoying in certain cases because the length it decides is Too Long is kiinda arbitrary and peoople have differnent lines.)

So in the spirit of Under-The-Cutting, I guess.

First thing of address, I guess: I can't control if people turn off the auto Tumblr readmore function. If it doesn't work for you, you can't control that either. But I find it a bit unfair that someone might, hypothetically, turn off the useful tool for cutting back on longposts on your dashboard, and then come into my inbox and be passive-aggressive about me not doing the function for them on my side of the equation. If that's the circumstances that kicked all this off, it's a bit... ahm... self-centered. I personally have it turned on, less because I want to filter long written posts [I like reading the fics posted on Tumblr] but because I like to filter long image posts, and those generally don't get censored under a readmore.

For that matter I also can't control someone's scrolling speed. I get what the second anon is trying to say: maybe only censor posts of a certain size. The issue here is what I think is long isn't the same as what someone else does. For me personally, I think long is a written work that tops out around 10k words. I'd get annoyed scrolling through that on my dashboard. The fic I posted yesterday was a rare 5k-ish. Most fics I've posted here in the past are around 2-3k, but I've posted an 8k fic here before with no resistance. Something I'm learning from this is other people think 2-3k is fine enough to scroll through, but 5k is a lot. So... noting that for the future.

So I personally don't like censoring my posts under the readmore function for a couple or reasons:

It cuts back on engagement, noticeably. It's the side-effect of social media that you want instant gratification as quickly as possible. When someone is given the choice to either click a button and sit on a post for awhile, or continuing to scroll through their dashboard for something quicker to engage with, normally they'll pick the second option. That's how social media was made, and while the Tumblr platform subverts this a little by it's nature, it still buy-and-large holds true.

Read mores, as far as I'm aware, can only be added on desktop. The snippets that make it to Tumblr, barring when I archive them for myself on a separate document, are all written on mobile. If they aren't completely mobile, they're at least started/drafted there and then moved to desktop later - but I want to say 9/10 of these are written and posted completely from my phone. And they're going to lean even more into that, since for various reasons, it's currently easier and more reliable for me to write on my phone. I won't be able to continue writing fics here if I have to wait until I have access to my laptop every time before posting them. Which leads me to my incredibly me-only dilemma:

Writing these quickly and posting them rough to Tumblr is the only reason these quick fics get written in the first place. I started posting written work to Tumblr because I was tired of abandoning so many ideas in the shuffle between "Is this good enough for AO3?" and "Is this good enough to be written at all?" But if I have to re-add roadblocks that make posting here more trouble than it's worth, I know myself, I will end up not posting fics here anymore. I'm sure it sounds silly. It sounds silly to me. But it's less of a "readmores make me not want to write" and more of the mental gymnastics of: Is this fic long enough to need a readmore -> If it does need a readmore, when will I have the time to add it -> Do I post it now and edit it in later? Probably not, because I won't remember to add it later -> Since I waited to post it, do i even remember hours later that I had a fic I wanted to post -> Would it have been easier to post this on AO3, even though it doesn't meet my standard of craft of AO3 fics? -> Why am I bothering to do this when I have so many other things I'd rather spend my time on? If you've ever done that thing where you got nothing done on a free day because you had (1) thing you had to do in the afternoon, and all your mental faculties were taken up going "No I can't do X, I have to do that thing in 4 hours!" That's kind of the odd cascade the whole readmore thing is doing for me right now.

My thoughts on this currently is I have 2 compromises and 1 definitely-not-a-compromise. And the one not-a-compromise is I ignore all this ever happened, and continue doing what I have been doing. I don't want to do that because I like to be accommodating? I'm very community focused. I like building an atmosphere that's welcoming when it comes to the blog. But that might also be what I resort to just because, as I said above, if this turns into more trouble on my end than I think it's worth, I'll just stop posting fics here, and I don't want to do that. Which leads me to--

Compromise 1: I stop posting fics here. It's not really a compromise, but it's easy. Ish. Eh. Not really. Tagging everything on AO3 is a pain in the butt for something quick and dumb you wrote up because you thought it'd be fun. But being able to post a link to a fic like with my LongFics is a think I could just fall back on. I think it also means I'll probably stop writing this stuff though, because I'll get bogged down in things like trying to edit them, or link them together cohesively when they're out of chronological order [Like the Hels/Wels fics, which currently are all over the place in their timeline, and will continue to be so probably]. Regardless it's an option.

Compromise 2: We can go back to the old standby which is me tagging anything longer than 3 paragraphs as "long post" and then if anyone doesn't want it popping up on their dash, they can filter the tag. I also don't like this option because it blocks even more than a readmore does. But it's quick and easy for me, and maintains the integrity of "I wanted to post this to Tumblr and not worry about it anymore."

This is all stuff for me to stew on. I don't expect people to weigh in on these options, though you're welcome to if you think you have some good input for it. But that's about where I'm at right now.

I kept trying to add these as tags and wondering what went wrong! The issue is that I'm too rambly and it was too many tags, so I'm adding it (now edited for readability) as a readmore instead!

This is lore I've kind of kept close to my chest, but it's borne from the fact that for my lore and my commander, just saying Trahearne lived and doesn't die doesn't fit the understanding of my commander, that I'd had for literally years.

I did still hit a point where ultimately I did want him to be alive again though, so short version: necromancy and special circumstances regarding Caladbolg, that occur waaay later. like post-EOD-later.

The long version with lots of rambling about my commander and his relationship to Trahearne is down there. It is WAY too long and no one has to read it.

So as I said, Trahearne's death is very important to Rhydenach and the lore! I can't just extricate the fact Trahearne died- it's kind of EXTREMELY important to him as a character, and the grief of Trahearne's death can't just be like.. purged from his narrative.

For starters, yes they were in smoochies together, and hey this is a readmore now so I can add a picture:

So okay, I swear this is going somewhere but I have to set the scene for Rhydenach becoming a necromancer as it's all important to me, and his journey to actually reviving Trahearne. So Rhydenach is initially a berserker warrior he's big and strong and dumb? He's a hotheaded himbo, and doesn't really get necromancy, he admires Trahearne for being smart but that is not him!!! Rhydenach can a) pick heavy thing up b) smash heavy thing into enemies. He's actually a very skilled fighter and his strength and combat skills are admirable but he's certainly not booksmart.

After Trahearne dies, he for a long time, filters his grief into his anger, and his hotheadedness, it alll feels very fitting with his berserker-ness! He's angry and grieving and it's all resurfacing as rage. He's in a very bad place mentally. He does have Caladbolg, and reforges it, and he ends up keeping a lot of Trahearne's old books about all sorts of things, but some of those are necromancy books (and a lot are Trahearne's own necromancy research.) And he just stashes them all away somewhere safe where they can be pristine and untouched. I think he almost feels he doesn't deserve these things? Of course, Trahearne would want him to have them but as I said, Rhydenach is in a bad place mentally.

Aurene is a spot of light in a very grim time in his life, and being able to parent a dragon is something that alleviates his pain and stops him from completely falling apart, but for the most part, he's very sad. He's making no effort to do anything other than distract himself, from his grief and is sort of destroying himself in the process.

BUT! during LWS4 he finally sort of has a breakthrough? A few things contribute... part of it is having died in POF, and this new lease on life and the process of regaining his memories and all begins it. He's still quite sour and prickly but I think it opens him up to healing in a way. His friendships with Caithe and Braham, also help. He's friends with most NPCs you're 'meant' to be friends with but these two probably are the closest? And they definitely help him the most in this phase of his life, especially with Caithe's reemergence. That's his friend who he platonically co-raised a child with.

LWS4 is honestly pretty harrowing in its own way and I think all the terrible stuff happening and then how when you hit Dragonfall suddenly Aurene is back and everything is working out and it all seems fine!!! I think just kickstarts his brain into being in a better place. Additionally, in Jahai Bluffs there's the poem fragment that was Trahearne's favourite, and despite suppressing his grief all this time, he finally instead starts to take comfort in Trahearne's memory, and actually feel his grief instead of trying his hardest to push it away.

So now, despite not being booksmart, or getting it very well, he's reading Trahearne's old necromancy research (it's a lot), and he finally entertains the idea of using reforged Caladbolg, instead of keeping it all pristine and shut away. He's not using it as his actual weapon at that point, but he finally sort feels okay using it, as he starts to practice and try out necromancy things he's learning. He starts to sort of get necromancy? He's not as magically inclined so he more infuses it into his normal fighting style. In-game up to this point, he's a physical skill hammer/greatsword berserker, which is very very him and so he's infusing necromancy into this sort of fighting style.

Then, at the end of LWS4, after the delight of Aurene being alive again, and this insurmountable enemy being dealt with, Aurene ascends to being an elder dragon! At this point in my lore, Rhydenach in the same moment, gets Aurene-branded like Caithe did, but prismatic-style (rather than the original purple/blue Aurene). So at that point because it's sort of a symbolic new Rhydenach, but also because he changes colour and stuff, I made a second Rhydenach alt to represent his visual changes, because there was no way I was making over original Rhydenach. (He's called 'Commander Rhydenach' in game, rather than just Rhydenach, and now he's a necromancer!!! But I'm actually not done with his look so you can't see him I'm sorry.)

So now, officially, he's a Reaper in-game, which I feel is fitting fighting style-wise as an extension of rhydenach's previous berserker-ness, but filtered through a necromantic lens. So his berserker mode is like. reaper shroud, the slamming of the scythe is like his old fighting style of slamming the hammer. He still uses a greatsword but finally, he's actually picked up Caladbolg, and takes it as his main weapon, and is fighting with it and using necromancy regularly. He doesn't fully get the magic from a scholarly standpoint, and he does use it in a brute-force sort of way way but he's definitely getting it more!

Now the weird thing is, when he was Aurene-branded, she shared with him some of the Joko magic she absorbed, which manifests as weird inherent necromancy knowledge that he doesn't fully get, when he thinks too hard, but it is just there now. It sort of plants a seed and he comes to start to wonder if he could revive Trahearne. Holding Caladbolg and learning necromancy and having some inherent knowledge implanted in his brain sends him down this little path where he's secretly thinking about this, from post LWS4 onwards, as a secret background goal, whirring away behind the scenes in his mind.

Moving forward, Icebrood is very rough for him but he's feeling better now! He's stronger and he holds out against it despite losing Almora, who is admires and respects a lot. He also partly remains strong, as he does back to talk to his old Pact friends, Faeilaeth and Dionaeri (two other ocs of mine, they're gfs!) who he'd been neglecting and they sort of stopped reaching out because they'd been trying so hard to help and support him and he'd just been determined to destroy himself regardless, and was pushing them away. SO, they help and support him a bit in his flimsy moments, and are happy he's actually accepting their support again.

So! EOD is sort of his last rodeo as Commander! After it, he's like 'Nah. I'm good! The dragon cycle is done! I'm checking out!' This is something I knew I wanted for him before even deciding about Trahearne revival, but it also works with that. (Do not ask me who my new commander is this is STILL a problem I haven't solved in my lore for an entire year at this point.)

And now, it gets wishy-washy, as this is still quite new lore for me, but the general idea is that because Rhydenach is appropriately ushered out of the story so I don't have to deal with the lore ramifications, of reviving Trahearne, he, through the weird circumstances of his necro magic absorption and using Caladbolg all the time, and post-EOD, maybe some weirdness with the dragon magic (Mordremoth in particular), he finds a way!

I believe it's mostly that he needs to craft a new sylvari body through necromancy (both learned and the stuff he absorbed) and plant magic and stuff, and stick Trahearne's soul back in it, but this requires Caladbolg and all to do it, and maybe he has to do it in the Heart of Maguuma where he originally died? Either way, something about the process necessitates Caladbolg, as this is something he can only really do with Trahearne specifically (he'd be reviving many more people otherwise and I don't want that all over my lore, I like this as a very significant one-time thing.) Well two-time thing but that happens with two completely separate characters who aren't at all attached to any of this, I'm only allowing Rhydenach to do this one time.

I also want to add I just think it's very romantic to literally know your lover so well you can perfectly craft their body as it once was. And I like this as actually, Rhydenach DOES get to be happy! He doesn't have to sit with his grief, after all he's done, he gets the person he misses more than anything back. Even if it's many many years after the fact. Maybe that seems a bit silly, that he worked through his grief and his ending wasn't that he was content with it now, but that he gets his lover back after all? But I like it better this way actually.

As I said, I haven't fully firmed up the details of the revival, like it's ??? still, but it's going to happen., just offscreen while my new commander who I do not know yet is running around. When I finally figure them out, it will be that they've been learning from by Rhydenach's side for a little while, and were inducted into their order via one of the orders Rhydenach didn't join through (Rhydenach is Vigil), and still lost their mentor at Claw Island, just, they did some other stuff for a while before ending up in the midst of Dragon's Watch, so they can still fit with the newer stuff that's happening, since Rhydenach quit lol.

I think Trahearne's revival will sort of be a half-secret? Like close friends will know, and maybe it's a rumour throughout Tyria, but they're not making an announcement to the world, and most people probably scoff and think it's ridiculous. I think the two of them will prefer that.

If you did read all of this I give you a medal and my many many thanks lol.

Hey question for the Trahearne lovers here

For those of you that have a Trahearne lives AU, how do you go about it? How does he not die? Feel free to ramble about it :)

[foccaccia]

music recs bls. preferably nothin by straight men but based on ur entire vibe i dont think i have to worry abt that lol

ok firstly, please PLEASE listen to G.L.O.S.S., they only have one album but it FUCKS. (also i don't know Dyke Drama as well but its Sadie Switchblade from G.L.O.S.S.' solo work and the album I bought was really good) (EDITED TO ADD A READMORE BC HOLY SHIT)

also, basic queer punk hours here but Against Me! is always, always worth it. laura jane grace my hero and beloved

Neighborhood Brats is a female fronted punk band. Actually, Dirt Cult Records has a number of pretty cool artists - I can't speak to all their gender/sexualities but their music is good. Dan Padilla (the band not the man lmao), Needles//Pins, Dead Years, Postage and, Feral Trash. I can't remember if Dear Landlord and Shallow Cuts are with Dirt Cult (i dont THINK so) but I do know they overlap with Dan Padilla.

Fangbanger is a really cool pop-ish punk band, and I haven't been into real pop punk in a long time but I really like them. Troll 2 is kind of folk punk, and by the tone of this ask I think you'd like them. i have a few Propoghandi songs i like (thrash punk), if you like ska you like Streetlight Manifesto. The Muslims and Fea my roommate got me into and both are really cool punk bands - the muslims is a queer poc crunchy punk band and fea is a san antonio based latina all female band. Ramshackle Glory is an anarchist punk band. GOGOL BORDELLO HOW COULD I FORGET YOU romani punk band from lower east side manhattan. i had a Sainte Catherine's cd on repeat for like 4 months straight when i was a teenager and honestly i was so valid for that.

and of course theres always the ramones, the replacements, husker du, the minutemen, the dead kennedys, black flag, the menzingers, etc.

Leaving punk, I know I just commented on a post about basic music but i really do like Florence + The Machine. Rip. The Amazing Devil is a bit, like, well the dude from the Witcher is in it so that says something but sometimes I want a song I can soulfully and really awfully sing along to. My roommate got me into Gloryhammer, so like, if you want weird ass concept metal albums, there u go. i recently remembered Luca Turilli (also known as Rhapsody and Luca Turilli's Rhapsody) exists, i was OBSESSED with these metal songs as a kid. oingo boingo is weird. i also really like Trocadero (shut up shut upppp i know its the red vs blue band but they do have cool music let me live). be steadwell and Grace Petrie are very queer, if thats what youre after. Palehound is kinda indie but some of thier songs get stuck in my head really easily. Ratatat is an electronic band that fits nothing else in this post but. a vibe. i had an Unwoman phase as a kid after that Night Vale Weather.

some single songs i really like but know less about the artist, of scattered genres: Who Wears The Pants?? by Soko, My Gap Feels Weird by Superchunk, Numbers (I Can Only Count To Four) by Psychostick (hehehe), For an Old Kentucky Anarchist by The Orphans, Sober Intentions by Apes of the State, Coffee God and Cigarettes by Mischief Brew, I'm Against the Government by Defiance Ohio, You're Not The Only Bear I Fisted by Schmekel, Butch In The Streets by Tribe 8, Deep Love by Lady Lamb, Dark Days by Pup, Racing Stripes by Aesop Rock, Old Number Seven by The Devil Makes Three, I'm So Sick by Flyleaf, I Don't Wanna Be Funny Anymore by Lucy Dacus, Lake Pontchartrain by Ludo, Devil's Point by Wicked Shallows, TKO by Le Tigre, Transvestites Can Be Cannibals Too by Harley Poe, Providence by Poor Man's Poison, and Wildflowers by Gouge Away.

this was ABSOLUTELY more than you asked for but i thought about music and got really excited, im sorry. also again i dont know how many of these artists are cishet men but also like, i like them and IM neither cis nor het so

Hi, I've been reading your SH related writing all day, and I'm really enjoying it. So thank you for keeping this up and reviving my love for the series. Anyway, I noticed that you seem to be fairly forgiving towards the western games. I am too. SH:H, SH:D, and SH:SM all have their strong suits, or at least some decent ideas. But I just can't find any in Origins. That one just makes me angry. Do you disagree? What do you think SH:O did well, or at least right?

Oh man, well gosh I’m honored! It always makes me happy to know when people find something of value in my ramblings, haha.

Although I consider myself extremely critical of the western games, I AM pretty forgiving compared to a significant portion of the fanbase, it’s true.

I do think that Origins is probably the weakest of them in just about every regard– both storywise and in gameplay. The ways it just kind of tosses continuity out the window drive me nuts. But there are definitely things I like about it even if I think it’s very flawed– for one, it was actually the very first SH game I was exposed to at all, so it introduced me to the concepts of Silent Hill with like zero context for the rest of the series, but got me interested in the first place, haha! But that aside, it still has some strengths that keep me from completely dismissing it.

I’ll try to go into detail a little under a readmore.

1. Travis himself. I think he’s an interesting, unique protagonist– out of the western games, his is the ONLY design that stands out as being significantly different from the rest. Not that he’s a beacon of originality or anything (still a brunette white dude, after all), but he has a very different build + facial features than any of the other protagonists (an accomplishment that Alex and Murphy unfortunately cannot share). He’s pretty much the only one who actually passes a silhouette test.Writing-wise, I also just have a big old soft spot for his character. He’s just this good-hearted trucker who messes up sometimes but tries his best. (And I won’t lie, I flat-out ignore the “whoops he’s evil!” twist in the bad ending because any hints leading to it are completely half-assed and not reflected meaningfully in the actual story at all. The Butcher is stupid and has no impact on the narrative whatsoever and can literally be erased from the game without affecting anything).Also, I can’t not love a man who can carry like fifteen televisions in his pants.

2. Some of the monster designs.In terms of creature design, Origins ranks above Downpour but SIGNIFICANTLY below Homecoming. So it’s definitely not a huge standout when it comes to good monsters (especially since several of them are just ripped directly out of SH2 for no good reason), but there’s a few that I really, REALLY like.For one, I love the Carrions. I think that an animal-loving person in a vehicular-transport-based career who feels really guilty about killing/injuring animals on the road by accident is a FANTASTIC thing to manifest as a monster, and is something that really made Travis stand out as a character.I also really love the Caliban and, to a lesser degree, the Ariels. Those were just some cool concepts that again, were unique and not immediately derivative of monsters from unrelated games. It was neat to see some more of Alessa’s monsters, even if it was a bit of a stretch continuity-wise to have new creatures for her that mysteriously aren’t around in SH1.And you know what, the Remnants were pretty cool too.Basically, there were some good ideas in there even if they kind of deserved to be in a better game, and those somewhat make up for some of the badness to me.

3. EDITED TO ADD: the soundtrackOrigins had some fucking bangers and the ambient/sound effect tracks are just as good as in any of the other games-- Akira Yamaoka is just magical and his music elevates even the crappiest of the western games.Just listen to Shot Down in Flames and tell me it doesn’t freaking slap.

4. Young(er) Dahlia’s designIt’s FUCKING WEIRD but I actually kind of appreciate seeing this visibly-off-kilter-even-though-she’s-not-officially-the-town-weirdo-yet woman seven years before SH1 back when she was slightly more outwardly respectable but honestly still a complete weapons-grade freak.

5. The UFO endingwhat can I even say it’s just perfect

AND THAT’S ABOUT IT. Poor Origins is the red-headed stepchild of the series and there’s not much that’s redeeming about it, but all the stuff above are things that I do genuinely like. SO HOPEFULLY that shed a little light on it for ya! Even if you disagree, I do sincerely understand your frustrations with this one. If I tried to list all the things I DIDN’T like about Origins, this would be a MUCH longer post lol.

hi omg sorry to bother you but i was wondering if you could tell me how you added links to your pages in your description? i've been trying to figure out how to do that on another blog of mine without having to post the pages as individual posts and then linking back to them... i do know how to add links in the description in general, but if they're an actual part of my blog i just can't get them to work. does that require something special?? ifhejidshjk okay thank you for your help :D

omg pls u are never bothering me !!!!! i just figured it out myself so i might not be doing it the easiest way (cuz its rly frustrating for me slkjfslkjfs) n it does require going into the html code which can be Scary 

here is the tutorial i followed 

but under the readmore i will just tell u what i did step for step bc i ran into sum problems. sorry if i over/under explain !!!! i really hope this helps!!!! 💛🌼

1. first i make my pages by going 2 edit theme n scrolling down to “add a page” 

2. it’ll show u this page. it’ll have ur url there and just put whatever u want after the slash, then write up ur page and save 

3. copy ur description from ur description box, then go to ur html code n use the search box to find “{description}” and replace that with what u have copied 

4. paste this at the end of ur description and it will give u 4 links (you can delete sum or add more). 

Link1Title / Link2Title / Link3Title / Link4Title

5. replace “link1″ with the url to ur page and replace “link1Title” with ur link title. this is what mine looks like (i put “�� between lines i want separated, otherwise they’d all be squished together on my theme)

(note that instead of pasting ‘peachslimes.tumblr.com/dni” i just have “ href=“/dni” ” there. this is just how my theme works?? it just fills in my url for me?? idk if urs will?? u will know when u try ur link, just go by what it says in the url. if it doesnt work with “/dni” then go back and put in ur full url “peachslimes.tumblr.com/dni”) 

6. then go to ur box description and paste this for the links

link name 

(this is the code the tutorial gave me, and idk if ur supposed to leave the quotes but when i do it breaks my link so i just deleted them but u might have to mess around w it like the earlier step)

7. all done !!!! if u run into any problems doing this ur more than welcome 2 ask me more questions !!! but i really hope this goes smoothly for u and u have a great weekend !!!💕
