#Is it tumblr?? I don’t think I misclicked

[katkat030]

Hey Kat, I noticed the mutual marking was gone earlier when I was on the site instead of the app

you’re the second person I’ve done this to by accident somehow

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

I don’t know why i follow you.

Not in the disappointed way, i genuinely just have no idea. One day you just Appeared in my tumblr and i saw u everywhere.

Did i misclick? Did you have cool opinions?? Do i know you from somewhere?? No clue.

I just slowly infect people's dashboards like black mold I think

[istheremorethanburrito]

That might work!

Also do you ship pomni x Ragatha x loolilalu x martha

Sorry for answering your second question privately, I misclicked!

I am not one for multi-person ships and also don’t ship loolilalu x martha as they haven’t met, and likely wouldn’t (though if they did, I can see them bonding over being NPCs, and it would then probably be one of the best ships in the fandom). Each to their own! But that’s just me and my preference.

I think friendship that doesn’t lead to romance is underrepresented in most fandoms so even though ragatha x pomni (funnydoll? Pomnatha? edit: the tumblr suggested tags have told me “ragapom”) is my favourite TADC ship, part of me would be upset if it became canon.

Do you have a favourite ship?

Something I haven’t seen discussed as often when people talk about Tumblr’s usability issues:

Why does blog view not have hard-coded page numbers?

Part of the joy of Tumblr is that if you really enjoy someone’s blog, it can feed you for days. Years’ worth of goodies they posted, found and reblogged over the years, some at risk of being lost to time if you hadn’t stumbled across them again... It fosters this sense of exploration, like a “what’ll I find next?!” type of attitude that makes you keep on scrolling. And if you have to take a break, you can always go back to (theirblog).tumblr.com/page/134 and continue where you left off.

But with blog view... you can’t. There are no page numbers. If you hit next page, the URL doesn’t change, and Tumblr doesn’t remember where you left off. One accidental refresh, one browser crash, one Windows update, one misclick, and you’re back to page one, even if you were hundreds of pages in. How deep were you? Where did you leave off? Unless you want to brave the archive, you’ll never know(and the archive won’t help you get back on track). It’s honestly easier to just give up and find another blog to scroll through.

The sad part is I don’t even necessarily hate blog view; it can be a bit more sleek than some cluttered custom themes(even though I love custom themes!) and personally I think it makes finding tags easier. But web view isn’t on by default anymore, so a lot of newer blogs just. Don’t have page numbers. it feels like you aren’t supposed to spend time looking through people’s blogs anymore. On the spend time looking through people’s blogs website.

That sucks :/

(image ID: the blog view version of the original poster’s blog. The URL has been manually changed to include a page number, and reads “tumblr.com/ebay-taxidermy/page/4″. OP’s blog contains more than four pages, but pages are not supported in blog view, so an error message “You’re too late. This post is no more.” is displayed.)

[kairithemang0]

I think tumblr may be automatically unfollowing people for me bcs I don’t remember unfollowing someone and idk if they unfollowed me but they didn’t block me and it may just bcs a misclick but if I somehow unfollowed u it probably wasn’t on purpose-

[honestlyvan]

As someone who doesn’t use Twitter and hasn’t used it since 2016, at this point I feel like every even slightly Twitter-esque (let alone overt Twitter-esque) design choice Tumblr makes gets yelled about because People Really Just Fucking Hate Twitter whether they realise it or not.

Which, like. Fair ‘nuff. I also hate Twitter, which is why I don’t use it. But nobody ever really gives these design decisions any time to percolate on this site in favour of kneejerk “they changed it and we hate it” reaction. Public likes are not new. Multiple tabs on a dashboard (some of them not things you opted into seeing) are not new. Having to block ads with external tools is not new (and it’s a big deal that photomatt said the words “ad blocker”, like, you couldn’t get that shit on any other profit-driven site, everyone is too scared for their precious monetisation)

The new sidebar, also, I think is pretty ugly right now but it’s probably going to go through a few iterations. I, personally, really wish they’d put the search bar literally anywhere else (maybe group search and discovery together IDK I’m not an UX designer) and I think accessing sideblogs has been too complicated for a while now, but none of those are the same as “this looks like The Other Blue Site”.

Like I’m not a graphic designer. I am certainly not a fucking UX designer, and I think those people are either all nuts or all geniuses. I’m pretty sure the new layout is being extensively heatmapped rn, and what changes it’ll undergo are gonna be done based on that, based on comments that are along the lines of ‘this change would make me more productive’ and less on “WEEEEEH CHANGE IT BACK CHANGE IT BACK CHANGE IT BACK”. 

Your animosity towards change is not meaningful user experience information. You misclicking on shit more *is*. If this layout is really *that* bad and terrible, Automattic’s research tools will demonstrate it as such. The developers now are actually much better versed in Web 2.0 design, for better and for worse.

[madcatdaderpydrawer-blog]

Assholes don’t just wake up one morning and decide “I think I’m going to admit that I fucked up and try to make amends”. They need a catalyst for that. For Endeavor, it was finally achieving the dream he never thought he’d accomplish, that he’s been chasing so relentless he was willing to tear his whole family apart for just so he could live it vicariously through his youngest son. For that one ex-nazi whose story still gets passed around in Tumblr, it was a misclick. For the shrimp guy whose story still gets passed around, it was his pet shrimp dying. Even Zuko, who spent months building up to his redemption, still needed a catalyst to push him onto the hero’s side.

I don't know any of those characters ^^' But I get your point!

Honestly, back in october I thought that Lunar would be Eclipses catalyst so to speak. I was honestly kinda disappointed he wasn't. That's where the evil but redeemable au of mine came from.

That in making Lunar he would in a way make his own "redemption" from being a villain start since he would be giving himself the one thing he never had; Family.

[strawbrygashez]

If it looks like I randomly unfollow then follow I’m sorry I don’t know why it looks like tumblr keeps making me follow and unfollow blogs :,| /Gen I don’t know if I’m misclicking (which I don’t think I am) or if tumblr is just being dumb

[jm-chrome]

Hey, I'm sorry but I think I accidentally reported one of your posts when I was just trying to get a link to your blog to look at more of your art. :( I'm trying to figure out if there is a way to unreport it. I just wanted to let you know in case you got a message from Tumblr saying that one of your posts got reported and you wondered why, it was just a misclick!

Ohh no worries I didn’t receive any messages from Tumblr about it!

I tag my art with #mw and if it’s for a specific fandom, I add another tag with the fandom name following it, like “#mw arcane” or “#mw trese” :)!

don’t scroll too far down tho because my old drawings are so embarrassing shjsskksk

[lightblueminecraftorchid]

Biases for tumblr polls off the top of my head for fun:

Selecting for

- followers of your blog or their followers (and so on); e.g., people who likely already agree with you or are interested in your interests in at least one aspect

- online within a certain time window (depends on how long people scroll on their dash and how many posts the people they follow make)

- answers which grab people’s attention (usually the first, last, and funniest answers)

- topics interesting enough to engage (preventing scrolling past)

- relatedly, people interested in responding at the time they see the poll

- Intentional misclicks; choosing incorrect or less correct options because an answer is funny or interesting

- whatever the recent reblogger is advocating for; in MCYT, whichever character they want to win a sexyman bracket, for example

Further issues:

- buttons are close together and misclicks cannot be undone

- choices are limited; broad categories with more than 12 options may need to be condensed or combined

- only a binary choice system (yes/no) with one choice; no multiple answers or ranking, and no view results button that doesn’t inherently skew the poll

- polls are not written to reduce bias; the poll writer themself may accidentally or intentionally bias answers to make one more or less attractive. For example, “I use Tumblr live”, “I don’t care about Tumblr Live”, and “I would never touch Tumblr live in a million years” as answer options would skew answers towards the last option, either because they feel obliged to agree due to pressure or because it’s funny. 

- users may be able to check what a person’s answer is, which may pressure responders to pick an option that’s more neutral or agreeable to OP or the reblogger

- you cannot see the number of actual respondents per choice with Tumblr’s interface alone, meaning another program or extra work without instructions is needed to analyze results

- users can comment on results in the post itself, meaning that users do not actually answer a blind poll, which may further bias results based on how the respondent thinks other people answered

Tumblr users generally do not approach a poll with the goal of providing accurate, unbiased data, even if the poll writer does (and they often don’t). Furthermore, even if a poll breaks containment, a large portion of initial respondents will be followers of, or in the circles of interest of, the original poster.

Let's consider the sampling bias of a classic polling method: the telephone survey.

In many jurisdictions, robo-calling cell phone numbers is illegal, so right off the jump, our sample is limited to people with landlines.

Second, our survey's calling centre probably doesn't operate 24/7, and you can only answer a home landline when you're at home, so we're also selecting for people who tend to be at home during our calling centre's office hours.

Third, most people who have landlines probably also have answering services and caller ID, so we're additionally selecting for people who answer unknown numbers rather than letting them go to the machine.

Fourth, our recipient needs to be able to participate in the survey, so we're also selecting for people who speak the language(s) in which the survey is being administered.

Finally, after all this, most people will just hang up once they figure out they're being polled, so in sum, we're selecting for people who:

have landlines;

are usually at home during our calling centre's office hours;

customarily answer unknown numbers;

speak the language(s) in which the survey is administered; and

are actually interested in responding to surveys.

Any one of these factors is likely to introduce very serious bias into our results; all of them taken together are going to render our data practically meaningless for most purposes.

Now, understand that this still represents less selection bias than trying to do demographic surveys by reblogging Tumblr polls.

[nephyria]

I didn’t look that hard into the community labels thing bc I Don’t Care, if I don’t wanna see shlong and glussy I will simply Block but. BUT OHHH my god this is. SO Horribly designed.

This is the meatball menu options on an individual tumblr post on their mobile app. If I go to copy the link and I misclick the community label request, it automatically marks it for review. It does not let the individual user explain why they think it should need a community label. It doesn’t allow the individual user to undo or reverse the request.

The fact that it’s phrased like a question is especially shitty! Why would I, as a user, assume that it marks it for review?? I’d expect this kind of menu option to bring me to a page or menu explaining what community labels are for, and then maybe it gives me a question: “Does this post need a community label?” with a yes/no radio button answer, and if I select “yes” I get checkboxes for a list of reasons why I think it needs a mature label. It doesn’t do any of that.

I hate web design, I’m never ever doing it, however I would love to be hired as the monkey who enters tumblr’s web design and throws everything that isn’t hammered down across the room. Fix your shit or I’ll do it again and you’ll have to keep paying me.

[moonlightdancer26]

Heya, I'm this anon -> https://moonlightdancer26.tumblr.com/post/697464103339524096/im-a-trans-man-myself-ive-heard-some-of-the

Don't let any lost followers get to you. That follower you mentioned may have completely different reasons for unfollowing than you might think.

For many of us, fandom is an escape from a shitty reality, and it's understandable if a trans person doesn't want to see reminders of transphobia, including posts that defend trans people.

I unfollow fandom blogs who start posting about certain social issues not because I disagree, but because it's simply too taxing to constantly be reminded of all the bad in the world.

They also simply could have misclicked unfollow by accident!

Now, here's a hug (づ ´• ω •`)づ

Hi again!

Losing followers isn’t that big a surprise to me, this isn’t the first time something similar’s happened. But I got upset because it was that one specific person—who’s not only trans but also whose blog I really enjoy.

I agree with what you’ve said: People definitely don’t like seeing constant reminders of things they’re hated/oppressed for, I certainly don’t. But I think I should’ve clarified more in the tags; they defended her. They were understanding about it and of course I don’t have any problem with that, but the issue I have is… they’re able to empathise with her and forgive her, but the fact that they also unfollowed me after this implies I’ve done something wrong. So the issue I have is, if you can empathise with what she did, then why can you not understand why I reacted the way I did? I know I sound like a fucking child right now but this has been bothering me too much (there’ve been other instances like this) to stay quiet. This has happened many times before, when anything’s happened with another tumblr blog and I genuinely am in need of support, 99% of them turn their backs on me. 🤷‍♀️

How do people want me to go about the situation? “You know what, Ladykardasi? You’re right, I’m SO sorry for trying to defend trans people! I totally shouldn’t have informed you that it was offensive to imply trans men aren’t “genuine” men! 🥰 and I should TOTALLY forgive you for calling me a bitch and trying to silence me after you supposedly did nothing wrong! ☺️” Is this what people want me to say? I’m not trans nor am I a male, and even I found that hurtful. If people can forgive her, then why not me? I’m not forcing anyone to continue following me—nor am I refusing to unfollow someone after they asked, unlike a certain someone :)—or even like me, but please just understand where I’m coming from.

That being said, I’m not even angry at the person who unfollowed me, nor do I resent them; I’m just upset and very confused.

I honestly don’t want to know why they unfollowed me—because of my attempted defence of trans folks, or because of my blog as a whole. I don’t think either answer will make me feel any better.

+ Misclicking the unfollow button at this time seems a bit too much of a coincidence, but I really hope you’re right. 😭<3

Now, here's a hug (づ ´• ω •`)づ

thank you so much, anon 🥺❤️ I saw your ask yesterday right after I arrived home and I was already on the verge of tears (because of something that happened), so when I saw this I actually shedded a few tears 😭 (but today was great! I’m much happier now <33)

[edenfenixblogs]

Good news friends!!!!!

I guess someone gave Karina a heads up!

Like I said here and probably in several other places, I don’t think the people at Drawfee are horrid antisemites. I think a couple of them have very open hearts and a good intentions and the same level of unexamined antisemitism that most non-Jewish people have. Karina and Julia are not uniquely awful. Karina and Julia are probably more kind and thoughtful than most people talking about this conflict right now.

That doesn’t mean they’ll always say the right thing or do the right thing. But knowing that they don’t intend to cause harm and that they care about remedying harm matters much, much more than the fact that they made the error in the first place.

I love Drawfee. I want to continue loving Drawfee.

This was not a post meant to shame anyone into doing what I wanted. This was simply a post with me finding media that handled stuff sensitively enough that I’m not feeling the constant horror of antisemitism everywhere. It’s a tough time right now. Thanks so much to [TUMBLR USER REDACTED] for pointing out that Karina unliked those tweets. It matters a lot!!!!

Nobody is perfect.

In an ideal world, yes. Drawfee would make some acknowledgment that antisemitism is on the rise. But I don’t know these people. It’s not my job or my right to ask them to do anything for me. All I can do is help others who are as affected by the ongoing crisis as me.

And, in case anyone wants to turn this very normal internet interaction into a weird witch hunt against Jews: I was not trolling Karina’s tweets for information the attack. I was scrolling what I thought was the “media” tab on her profile cuz I misclicked and saw that tweet from the Super Bowl time. I noped out real quick and went to Julia’s (and everyone else’s page) to see if this was something they’d all been liking or sharing (cuz I don’t go on Twitter much anymore). It wasn’t, so I just determined that Drawfee was not safe for me (and people looking for escapism in the same way as me) based on that info—I did not set out to condemn all of the crew, who I adore.

Antisemitism is endemic to our society. It is so familiar it is almost invisible unless you live being victimized by it. People are gonna eff up. What matters is that they fix their mistakes as best they can.

Right now, im in the same boat as I was when I made my first iteration of this post: if they can manage to keep the livestream free of antisemitism (or at least avoid contributing to antisemitic sentiment and put effort into keeping the chat free of antisemitism) then I’m more than happy to keep subscribing. It’s my comfort show. Their vibes are stellar. They always try to do good.

Heck! I watched the Bobby Hill episode with my parents for my birthday! 🥳

Again, it would be super if they actually condemned antisemitism. It’s not my place to ask that they do that, though. They’ll handle things how they wanna handle them, and I’ll determine based on my own needs if I feel comfortable engaging. Because I DO support Palestinian freedom and equality and equal access to healthcare and all that good stuff!

But I need to know that when people say “free Palestine” they aren’t unintentionally adding a silent “from Jews” to the end of that sentence. It’s a hard time right now. Compassion goes a long way.

And Karina, if you’re reading this, thank you.

Oh and for those looking, the posts were about here on her timeline. Somewhere in this mix of tweets:

Like, obviously Quds news network is a terrible source and that other tweet in there isn’t ok.

But I’m willing to see how the team handles everything during the live stream before making an evaluation here.

It’s 100000000000% possible to support Palestinian welfare and equality without being antisemitic.

I’m not the antisemitism police and I don’t want to be. There’s a difference between stupidly liking a Quds propaganda tweet and purposefully regurgitating that propaganda to others.

My opinions on this are the same as my opinions on everything else about this conflict: be kind to each other, give grace to others, and allow people to grow.

Am I ready to resubscribe yet? No. We’ll see how the steam goes. But I’m hoping to resubscribe. I want to resubscribe. Even just showing a little compassion toward Jews would make that possible. Until then, I’ll live in hope I guess. But the fact that she didn’t block me and took the tweets down is really, really encouraging.

Everyone be kind to one another and to yourselves. 💜

Well Drawfee is officially no longer safe media for me :(

Karina liked multiple tweets conflating a PSA for antisemitism with Israeli propaganda and claiming that Israel planned its assault to coincide with the superbowl…

Julia liked posts claiming that the war isn’t a war. Nobody has liked anything about antisemitism or even acknowledging Jews are in danger right now.

TBH I’m devastated.

I have Drawfee art all over my home. I was actually gonna become a patron this year. I’d literally been saving to make it feasible. This is crushing. I feel sick.

[love-toxin]

hey girly, i think you’ve been shadowbanned?? when i search you up your posts and tumblr don’t pop up anymore and when i search tags on ur profile nothing comes up :// also your masterlist isn’t hyperlinked on mobile 😳

should be fixed! i realized i had a setting misclicked lol

[bawkrya]

ok so im just gonna pick at fr from a web designer pov because looking at this site on mobile will drive me into madness if they don’t fix it at some point. The rest of this post will go under a read more because it’s both super long and image heavy.

before i hit mobile though, I’m going to point out some things i just don’t personally like in general with the site design (and yes i am conscious that they are slowly updating to a new look)

this will come as a shock to no one, if you’ve seen previous web design related posts by others anyways, but i cant. stand this menu

[ID: A cropped screenshot of Flight Rising’s Main Menu]

fr, understandably, has a shit ton of links. it’s a petsite with lore and all that, whatever. The thing that bothers me specifically is the length of links and where some are placed.

1. i BELIEVE this counts as an accessibility issue where longer links kinda trap shorter links, goes into misclicks to other pages in the site, etc. etc.  2. i don’t think. the search link should be under library personally ? Maybe make it its own category. 

Dev Tracker & Media could go under this category, possibly add separate links to forum, player, and dragon searches with updated formatting

Dressing Room and Scrying Workshop could go under the “Play” category 

Forums can be it’s own category with possible subcategories being: Announcements & News, Help Center, and Flight specific discussion forum, maybe more 

Library category could then just be: Which Waystone, World Map, Game Database, and Encyclopedia.

Support should be it’s own category.

One thing on the shop category, and i hesitate to say this because im not CONFIDENT on this one, but I’m not sure Custom Skins exactly fits? or at least, it should be Purchase Gems -> Marketplace -> Custom Skins, not between crossroads and festive favors

Merch should probably go under purchase gems, and they should maybe uhh..... i guess change the name for it overall? because 1. “merch” alone does NOT look good with its placement, 2. its another actual money purchase thing and I think those should go on the same page

Along with that, in putting merch under that page, they could put previews of the merch with a button to go purchase instead of immediately going to their merch site (which to begin with it should open in a new tab if its going to a separate site?!!)

then this is a mix of both not liking it on laptop OR mobile, 

[ID: A cropped image of Flight Rising’s Clan Home page. The Bestiary link has a bright red box highlighting it]

Obviously these pages are old, but the graphics need to be updated, and there needs to be graphics for every link in the category-- seeing with this category alone there isn’t a graphic for the Bestiary already. On top of this they need to be in link order preferably. if they had a normal dropdown menu for mobile, mobile users wouldn’t be able to access the bestiary unless FR wanted to be STUPID and do further dropdown menus w their 200 links which would be STUPID and CLUTTERED

also in my opinion the Messages link isn’t necessary since we have the button at the top. If they put it there as an excuse for accessibility, they can just. add text to the buttons. like here’s a scuffed mockup but. 

[ID: Screenshot of Flight Rising’s Messages, Friend Requests, and Alerts icons edited to have Messages, Friends, and Alerts written next to the icons]

for the friends tab, they could prolly add friend requests at the top like they do for baldwin alerts, then have an online status thing for friends below with buttons to PM, trade, delete friend, etc. I think you’re already able to disable the online status thing with page visibility? but like, make those options separate if you dont wanna block off your entire page, but dont want to be seen online.

For mobile, they can just make the icons bigger.

then. i THINK. last thing on laptop site. 

[ID: A screenshot of Flight Rising’s Social Media links with old Logos to YouTube, Tumblr, Reddit, Twitter, Facebook, and DeviantArt]

update these fucking icons they are personally killing me, none of these logos are in use anymore (ALSO UPDATE THE TUMBLR THEME JESUS CHRIST)

ok now for mobile. what this post was originally for.

-

as you all know, if you visit this site on mobile, there is literally no form of a mobile version for it. It is just a condensed version of the computer version of the site which is...Very Bad! 

Most of a sites visitors are going to be through mobile, i forget the exact percentage, but like it’s almost a given that people more readily have their phones with them than their laptop or tablet (which. im not going to bother with the tablet version, you can apply both computer and mobile criticisms to the site). in fact a lot of my time on FR is through mobile since I’m not at home 24/7 and I don’t tote my laptop around. Playing this game through it’s mobile site is Not Fun! 

I like, won’t be too pissy or anything bc like. it’s a petsite and I’m making this post for fun. but also like it was made in 2014? 2013? so I’m not going to be u kno. angry. but it nearing the point of ten years with this site and there still isn’t a mobile friendly version. that is lazy. If anything, if they wanted a site update to be the anniversary thing, they should’ve made that update be

Mobile update as primary thing, because designing the site for mobile is a shit ton of work with the amt of pages they have to work through.

Dragon Profile page update (*LOUD SIGH*)

Clan page update

Hoard update (i have thoughts on this too but i wont dive into it this post)

Purchase Gems page update

Dev Tracker update

Forums update

“but that’s a lot to update” well. that wouldve made the anniversary being a website update considerably more worth it, because in my opinion having the dragon profile pages be the ONLY thing to happen during the anniversary was a waste and a bad decision, because other website updates are just. normal whatever updates. it made the anniversary SUPER underwhelming especially bc the past ones (to my knowledge) have only been major game mechanic updates like the eye & ancients update and i believe? the color wheel expansion was an anniversary thing? someone can correct me on that I haven’t played this game as long as most LMAO

as for how i personally would situate the mobile site. shitty graphic time, bc im not putting too much effort into this (warning this will be LONG)

[ID: Image 1. A crudely put together screenshot of the top half of a Mobile View of Flight Rising with comments on either side. It ends with the Latest News segments “Riot of Rot” and “Hoard & Vault Revamp”

Comment 1, Left side: “no banner make it a solid color that matches the burger menu. size the logo correctly etc. Comment 2, Right side: “burger menu w ONLY the categories, goes to the homepages of the categories” Comment 3, Right side: “TWO latest news posts, maybe a button to go see earlier news (which may b something to add to comp too)” Comment 4, Right side: “center dates and comments maybe idfk”

At the bottom of the image there is an added “button” that says “more updates button”]

[ID: Image 2. The bottom half of the mobile view with comments on the left side. There is a put together white box that has the Plague Flight Logo and “plage dom !” written in it. Below it are the Site Status, Random Dragon, and Exalt Bonuses boxes from the site. Underneath that is a red box with “ad space” in the center, with a red footer at the bottom.

The footer contains, “social media! (specifally made icons for site)”, “better formatted links”, and “copyright”.

Comment 1: “idk what they would caption it but the flashy can go here.” Comment 2: “ONE site status update if they keep this format” Comment 3: “probably center these links. i dont know what they use to build the site but im sure you can make icons for social media on just about anything unless this is all handcoded. just. make small icons it takes two seconds and you can copy+paste”]

i dont even want to THINK about how the lair and all that would look on mobile, it was a chore doing the home page alone SOBS

anyways, in ref to these images though--

this is just slapped together and definitely wouldn’t be a final draft, it could use some tweaking

the flashy i refer to is the box that’s above the user box that says what flight is in dom, what festival is going on, etc.

when i mention building the site and “you can make icons for social media on just about anything” im referring to wordpress, wix, whatever is used to format the site. I really only have experience with wordpress thru elementor and divi (so far) so im not CERTAIN about other places but I feel it would be pretty common to have that tool. if not, making icons (or snatching some) is rlly not that hard, probably only costly depending on what their webdesigner(s) charge for icons

I’m not like certain on who does what, how the webdesigner(s) work with/price this site, etc. etc. this is just. going off of my own knowledge. and in general this whole post is my own knowledge abt shit i did no further research to FRs team specifically 

i think this is basically it, i’ll reblog with more if i think of anything, but feel free to add things yourself or in general discuss things. again this post was made for fun so im not taking it seriously or demanding for these changes to be made, just personal annoyances and preferences.

This is also my first time doing picture IDs for a post so if I need to correct anything or the like let me know and I’ll edit it in the post!
