#i was done editing and hit the queue button

[chiiyuuvv]

so um.

[mogai-headcanons]

( !!! ) yes , i ' d like 02 see this tutorial ^.^ ! and , also some questions ..

001 : what editor you use 04 put 30 images in one post ?

002 : is it possible 02 make icons like yours in ibis paint ?

i'll answer your questions first, then do the tutorial, since the images will make it kind of long!

question 1: the newer editor on desktop! i think it's called the beta editor? i don't know if you can use it on mobile (i make all my flags and edits on desktop, so i queue them from desktop), but it's accessed with this toggle:

[id: a screenshot of the text post editor on tumblr desktop. a white arrow points towards the editor toggle in the top right corner, which is switched off. end id]

when the toggle is switched off like it is in the screenshot, you'll be using the newer post editor, which allows 30 images.

question 2: i honestly don't know, sorry! i've never used ibis paint (the only editor besides gimp that i've used is pixlr), but if anyone who sees this does, feel free to answer this one for me!

tutorial for combining images when i have more than 30 icons to fit into a post:

i'll put this tutorial in text first, then add images with further explanation of the process for if you need it.

basic tutorial:

make your icons that you need to put into one post

open them so that they are two layers in one image

right-click the image you want on the right side in the post and click on 'edit layer attributes'

in the layer attributes menu, input the width of the icon plus a little extra into the 'offset x' spot (for 600x600 icons, i put in the number 610), then hit the 'ok' button at the bottom of the menu

go to the image menu (top bar) and click 'fit canvas to layers'

you're all done! save your image as a png (or other file type that can have a transparent background)

detailed tutorial:

let's say i need to combine these two images for a post:

[image id: two square icons of the bisexual flag. the right one has an image of luz noceda from the owl house over it with a white outline and a black shadow behind it. end id]

first, i open the images as layers in one image. just open one of the images using 'open' in the file menu or the shortcut ctrl+o:

image id: the top image shows the gimp editor with no images open in it. the file menu is open and a white arrow points at the 'open' option. the middle image shows the gimp editor with a square icon of the bisexual flag open in it. the file menu is open and a white arrow points at the 'open as layers' option. the bottom image shows the gimp editor with a square icon of luz noceda over the bisexual flag open in it. there is a white bracket highlighting that there are two layers open in the layers menu with the text '(both in one image)' beside it. end id]

now both images are open in one layer! these images are 600x600, and i want to mimic that little white space that tumblr puts between images, since it looks nicer that way. i right-click on the image that i want to be on the right in the end, which is the icon without the character over it, and either click 'edit layer attributes' or the 'e' key:

[image id: the top image is of the gimp editor with a square icon of luz noceda over the bisexual flag open in it. the lower layer of the image, a square icon of the bisexual flag, has been right-clicked. a blue arrow points towards the 'edit layer attributes' option in the right-click menu. the bottom image is the same, but instead of the right-click menu, the layer attributes menu is now open. end id]

in the edit layer attributes menu, i type the width of the image plus a bit extra into the 'offset x' spot to mimic the space tumblr puts. for my typical 600x600 icons, i put in the number '610'. 'offset x' moves the layer that number of pixels to the right (or to the left, if you put in a negative number).

[image id: the gimp editor with a square icon of luz noceda over the bisexual flag open in it and the layer attributes menu open. the number '610' has been typed into the 'offset x' box, and a white arrow points towards that box. end id]

click the 'ok' button at the bottom of the layer attributes menu. that will apply the layer offset. now go to the images menu on the top bar and click 'fit canvas to layers' - this will make your image the right size to accomodate all the layers in it, and since you now have an offset layer, it'll make your image larger:

[image id: the gimp editor with a square icon of luz noceda over the bisexual flag open in it. the image menu is open and a white arrow points at the 'fit canvas to layers' option. end id]

once you click that, you'll have this:

[image id: the gimp editor with a rectangular image open in it. the left side of the image is a square icon of luz noceda over the bisexual flag, the right side is a square icon of the bisexual flag, and there is a small strip of transparent pixels between the two. end id]

it looks like it's not the whole image, but that's just because this icon is large and it's still centered on the original image. using the scroll bar at the bottom will show the entire image. you can now save this image as a png/other transparent file type and upload it like this:

[image id: the two square icons from the beginning of the tutorial. this time, they are both in one image instead of being two images next to each other. end id.]

i'm not the best at instructions (autism symptom), so if you need any clarification, lmk!

so you want to set up your tumblr queue

the ability to have a queue on tumblr is one of this website’s more unique features, allowing you to post while inactive on the website, ensuring both user interaction and posts don’t come to a stop just because you needed to go to bed.

where to start

first, we need to add something to the queue for the option to edit it to appear on mobile. you’ll want to go to reblog a post as usual, but there’s some separate steps we need to take.

[image description: the reblog page of a picture on tumblr. at the top, three dots are circled next to the reblog button. /end id]

I like this picture, but I don’t want to post it now. instead of hitting reblog as usual, you’ll want to tap on the three dots next to it.

[image description: the reblog options drop down page on the same post described before this. the options are post now, queue, schedule, save as draft, and post privately. queue is circled. /end id.]

when you hit the three dots, this menu will come up. you’ll tap the “queue” option, hit “done”, add any tags you want to add (some people like to have a tag for their queued posts. you don’t need to.) then the blue “reblog” button will say “queue”. hit that, then we’re ready to go.

customizing your queue

now that you have your queue up and running, we can set it up so it posts a specific number of posts a day, and what hours it posts them during. for this, you’ll want to go to your blog. (on the bottom of your screen, tap the far right icon that looks like a person, that’s your blog.)

[image description: the top part of the op’s tumblr blog. on the left is their tumblr url, judeatheatos, and on the right the gear icon is circled. /end id.]

now that we’re here, you’ll want to start by tapping the gear icon. this is where all your settings and account changes will happen.

[image description: the account and blog settings page for op’s tumblr account on mobile. under blog settings, the row labelled “queue” is circled. /end id.]

the good thing is, that picture we queued earlier didn’t just go into a void. you can see all your queued posts here before they post. you’ll want to tap on “queue” so we can look at your list.

[image description: the queued posts page on tumblr mobile. there’s two posts queued. at the top of the page, the queue settings are circled: publish three times a day between 8AM and 10PM (all day), and a gear icon. /end id]

this is our list of queued posts, and circled above are our queue settings! I’ve already gone in and changed mine how I like them, but yours will likely say something else on default. we’re going to tap the gear icon again.

[image description: the queue settings page on tumblr mobile. listed are the options “frequency”, and “publish between”, with 4 time options under the latter. /end id.]

if I remember correctly, on desktop you can set a custom time. here, we have 4 options of times to choose between that are effected by the time zone set on your account. choose your posting frequency, then you can change how often it posts.

that’s it! now you’ve set up your own functioning queue to post while you’re away. happy queueing :)

faq - please read!

firstly, a few things:

this blog is only for those 18 or older! i don’t care what the age of consent is in your area, if you’re under 18, do not interact. i know this gets fuzzy for plural folks, so to be safe, please don’t interact if you’re bodily under 18.

i will not be getting into kink discourse on this blog. you may see references to darker/heavier kinks that you personally do not like on this blog, aside from the ones i’ve said i won’t coin terms for. everything will be tagged accordingly if i think it needs it, and if you see something untagged that you need tagged, just send me an ask!

this blog is nsft, and i do not mind having (simple) sexual comments made towards me, but i do not want to be flirted with in a romantic sense or have anyone pursue a sexual relationship with me.

and now the faq:

q: is this blog fake? are you a troll? is this satire? do you actually believe mogai is valid/real? a: no, no, no, and yes!

q: what do you use to make your flags/edits? a: gimp on desktop! (here’s a small flag tutorial i made a while back)

q: how often does the queue post? a: 1 time daily!

q: what requests are open? what kinds of requests do you do? a: check out this page, it has all the requests i currently do and which ones are open/closed! you can also reach this page by opening my carrd and clicking the button that says ‘(18+) neopornouns’.

q: are you alright with requests involving [insert identity]? a: if it’s not on this list, the answer is more than likely yes!

q: are you alright with requests related to [insert source]? a: same as above - check this list, and if it isn’t there, the answer is more than likely yes! a2: if you’re concerned for a specific reason (content in the source, something the creator did, etc) i’d appreciate if you could include that in your ask!

q: did you receive [insert request]? a: check this page, which has all of the requests currently in my inbox, and if you don’t see yours, let me know! even if requests are closed, i’ll likely let you resend it.

q: when will my request be posted? a: at some point! the queue isn’t set at a super high number so that if i hit a period where i’m very busy, i don’t have to feel anxious about the queue running out. that means that it could take a while to see your requests, but i promise, you will see them!

q: can i put your terms on [insert wiki]? a: for the most part, yes! i ask that, no matter where you upload my terms, you do not reword my definitions, add definitions, etc.

q: can you tag [insert thing]? a: yes, i’ll try my hardest to remember!

q: are you alright with spam likes/reblogs? a: 100% yes, and i’m glad that you like my content enough to spam me!

q: [insert nice thing] a: i love you dearly and your ask will sit in my inbox forever along with all the other incredibly sweet asks i’ve received over the course of this blog. i apologize for not answering kind asks, i just really like being able to scroll to the bottom of the inbox and see all the love there!

q: [insert argument against one of my opinions] a: i’ll more than likely block you, since a) this is not a discourse blog and b) i’ve heard your argument before and have said my piece on it and/or done my research on both sides, but if i’m in the right mood or you’re egregiously uneducated on the topic, i’ll answer it.

q: [insert rude/mocking thing about me, my blog, and/or mogai] a: asks like this accomplish nothing and don’t bother me. again, you’re either getting blocked or i’ll just make fun of you/be rude to you back.

Billy slammed the door of his hotel room closed behind him. He was fuming.

Damn!!! Damn, fuck, damn, fuck, fuck, fuck! He stormed across the room and threw himself onto the bed, hands linking behind his head on the pillows, glaring up at the ceiling. Apart from anything else, his male pride was injured - he was an ex-Marine for fuck’s sake! And he’d been outsmarted by a... a.. civilian!!

Lying there for a while, wondering what the hell he was going to do now. Micro couldn’t track her phone this time, and fuck knows where she was headed. Or... had she gone somewhere else? Or just moved to another location in London?

His gut told him she’d gone somewhere else. Those apartments she’d been staying in were for longer-term lets, not just one or two-night stays. Maybe she was using that as a base of operations like he would’ve done in the military. Yeah, he liked the sound of that. He sat up suddenly, taking his phone out of his pocket and opening Google Maps. He searched for Wood Wharf and when it listed up, he moved the map around with a finger and within a couple of seconds spotted what he’d been looking for - City Airport.

Billy grinned. He was back on her trail, he just knew it.

»»————————————-———-　⚜　———————————-————-««

Frank jolted awake, and after a few seconds realised that his phone was ringing. He grabbed it, screwing up his bleary eyes as he tried to read the time and who was calling. Shit, it was 1 a.m.! And it was Micro. What the hell?

He accepted the call, hearing Micro’s muffled voice saying, “Frank?” “Yeah, yeah... what’s up, Micro? And you sound like you’re underwater.” There was a slight pause and a swallowing sound, “M’eatin’ a donut. Sorry. Look, Russo’s just texted me again - this time he wants me to search for her on flights outta London City Airport. I said ok... but....” his voice trailed off.

Frank sighed. He hated this, he was stuck slap bang in the middle of all this shit between Billy, Karen and Billy’s girl.

Billy - he could kick his dumb ass for ‘messin’ around’ with Madani. Karen - he really didn’t want to upset his girl. And Billy’s girl - he felt sorry for her that she’d had to put up with Billy’s recent bad behaviour but.... he’d been so relaxed and happy since the two of them got together. So... he’d give his idiot friend a break... but only a small one.

“Yeah OK, Micro, go ahead with what he asked ya to do. Let Russo know once you got an answer for him, then you tell me. And if Karen ever asks, you didn’t call me ‘bout this till a helluva lot later this mornin’. Got it!?”

»»————————————-———-　⚜　———————————-————-««

Stepping out of the lift onto the landing of the 20th floor, you were met by a view across the harbour and a symphony in red - carpets, walls, doors.

(My Photos - Dec 2014)

The W was even better than you’d imagined, and as you reached your room and opened the door, you loved the view you got all along the beach from the big picture windows.

After you’d unpacked, you dropped a quick text to Karen just letting her know where you were, then left your room to go and have a walk around the local area, called Barceloneta according to your online guide book.

There was a cooling sea breeze, the sun was shining and you turned your face up towards it.

The W Hotel was right at the far end of the beach, and you had a pleasant stroll along it until you reached a busy street called Passeig Joan de Borbó, which ran parallel to the marina known as Port Vell. You passed several restaurants and decided that you’d have an early lunch in one of them, rather than eating at the hotel. You could have dinner or even room service there later on.

Sitting at an outside table, looking at the yachts moored at the marina, watching all the people strolling by on the wide pavement, sipping at a glass of wine.... you gave a happy sigh and relaxed back in your seat.

Billy would never find you here.

»»————————————-———-　⚜　———————————-————-««

Touching down in Barcelona, Billy watched the airport buildings rushing past as the air brakes were applied and the plane began to slow down. He was impressed with how short a flight it was from London; it was only a few hours since Micro had messaged him with the search results and he was here already.

He made his way through Passport Control and headed for the taxi rank, joining the queue and eventually being waved towards one of the waiting cars by the attendant.

Half an hour later, he was checking into the W. He felt excited, pleased, a thrill of anticipation - he’d caught up with her this time. Now all he had to do was dump his stuff in his room and stake out the lobby until she inevitably showed up.

»»————————————-———-　⚜　———————————-————-««

You’d walked up the full length of Joan de Borbó until you’d reached a new area of town called El Born. There was a lovely park - it had been built over a citadel from long ago when Barcelona had been occupied by invaders - and it was full of narrow little streets and cute artisan boutiques. Stopping for a coffee next to an old market building - the Mercat del Born - which had been converted into a cultural centre, once again you just enjoyed the sunshine and watching the world go by.

You looked around at the beautiful buildings; how lovely it would be to live in an apartment in one of these like the locals did. Most of the buildings had ‘Juliet balconies’, not especially spacious but enough to be able to step out of your apartment, maybe sit and enjoy the fresh air if you had room for a little chair. Some of the balconies had lush green plants in big ceramic pots on them, and you thought that sitting out there in amongst them would be like having your own little cocoon from the outside world.

You had a leisurely stroll through the neighbourhood, taking an interest in the small stores, tapas bars and old buildings. At the far end of the Passeig del Born you admired the huge Santa Maria del Mar, a church which your guide book told you was a fine example of Catalan Gothic. This opinion you agreed with - it was a beautiful church and you ventured inside to quietly look at its impressive yet simple interior.

You came out and turned onto Carrer Montcada, where the famous Picasso Museum was located. Not that you were going to go and check it out - your guide book had given some ‘best times to queue’ and spending time in a line of tourists was not your idea of fun - but you wanted to see if El Xampanyet, a famous tapas bar, was still open so you could have a glass of cava. Unfortunately it wasn’t, it had closed a couple of hours earlier and wouldn’t reopen for another couple. Sighing, you decided to walk along Montcada which would take you to Carrer Princesa, you could walk down it and cut round past the Mercat del Born again, back to Barceloneta and the W.

You were feeling a little peckish and the thought of some chilled cava and something to eat was really appealing.

»»————————————-———-　⚜　———————————-————-««

Billy felt his eyes slowly closing. He shook himself awake behind his newspaper, he couldn’t risk falling asleep but what with his disturbed night’s sleep and then his dash to Barcelona was making even him - an ex-Marine who could function on little or no sleep - feel really fatigued.

Sitting in one of the comfy sofas in reception for the past hour or so was not helping, the quiet hum of voices and people entering and leaving by the revolving doors was soothing him into a drowsy state. The newspaper he’d been pretending to read was in Catalan, totally impenetrable to him so he’d had to resort to just looking at the pictures, not the best at keeping his mind active.

He heard the ‘swoosh’ of the revolving door again, looked up and then froze. It was her!! He peeked round the edge of his paper.

She was heading for the lifts, looking in her bag for her keycard as she walked, she needed to swipe it so she could go up to her floor.

»»————————————-———-　⚜　———————————-————-««

The lift doors opened and you stepped inside, running your keycard over the reader and hitting the button for floor 20. The doors began to close but then suddenly sprang apart again as someone hit the Call button, and you looked up with the usual polite but disengaged smile that people give each other in lifts.

Billy Russo was looking back at you, a small smile on his face as he hit the ‘Close Doors’ button.

»»————————————-———-　⚜　———————————-————-««

She’d shrank back from him as soon as she’d realised it was him. Billy was incredibly hurt by that. He wasn’t going to harm her!!! He reached a hand out towards her but she moved even further away from him, right into the corner of the lift.

He said her name, then, “Sweetheart.... please! Just hear me out. That’s all I want to do - talk to you.” She glared at him, “Talk!! You want to talk? Ha!! And why would I want to listen to you!?” Billy grabbed her, getting her in a bear hug, kissing her hard and hungrily. He could feel her struggling in his arms but then she began to relax the tiniest little bit, so he just kept on kissing her passionately.

There was a ‘ting’ as the express lift reached its requested floor, and the doors opened onto the landing. There were two elderly ladies standing there and as Billy’s lips broke away from hers, he turned his head to look over his shoulder at them as they stared. “Ladies,” he nodded, firmly taking his girl’s arm in his and pulling her along with him as he got out of the lift.

“That’s not talking!!” she hissed at Billy.

»»————————————-———-　⚜　———————————-————-««

You were towed along behind Billy until he stopped outside your door. So.... he even knew your room number. Why hadn’t Karen given you the heads-up this time? You were feeling very uneasy. Billy was on a mission, that was clear.

He’d grabbed your keycard while he was kissing you in the lift. Why hadn’t you struggled harder? Because you’d missed him, of course. You didn’t like it, but you couldn’t deny it.

Now he swiped the keycard against the reader on the door, opened it and bundled you inside, closing the door firmly behind him. He let go of your arm and strode into the room past the centre-located bed which faced the huge window and made his way over to it, looking out at the view it gave of the beaches and the city.

(My Photo - Dec 2015)

He sat on the window seat and turned towards you, “Please... let me explain. Have a seat.” Reluctantly you sat at the opposite end of the long seat, but then stood back up again. You needed a drink. Picking up the bottle of gin from the small table by the window, you walked over to the mini fridge and opened it, taking out a small bottle of tonic water before retrieving a glass from the cupboard above it. You walked over to the large unit under the wall-mounted TV and put it all down, then prepared a G&T for yourself and took a large gulp.

“Nothing for me?” asked Billy, with his best puppy-dog eyes and pout. Heaving a sigh, you went back over to the fridge and took out a bottle of Estrella Damm beer for him, popping the top off it for him. Picking up your G&T on the way back to the window seat, you handed him the beer and sat down.

He took a large swig of the beer, and began, “Sweetheart, I....” but you cut him off. “If you dare to say ‘it’s not what you think’, I’ll chop your balls off, Billy.” He winced, and you shot at him, “What’s her name?” Billy shook his head and opened his mouth to speak, but again you beat him to it, “And don’t give me any bullshit. I’m not stupid.”

Billy sighed, taking another drink of his beer, “I know you’re not, sweetheart. But I swear I didn’t cheat on you, it was just about getting information.” “What. Is. Her. Name!?” you ground out. His head went down and he said, “Dinah Madani. She works for Homeland,” but not meeting your eyes. “Okay, Russo. Now we’re getting somewhere. What exactly did you get up to with Mizzz Madani?” “Nothing! I swear!” You stood up abruptly, and Billy - who’d been leaning in towards you - rocked back a bit. “Oh, fuck off Billy!” you yelled, “I can smell the guilt off you!”

You were getting angrier and angrier, “You say you wanna talk and then all you do is lie! Get out! Go on - just get out of my room!”

»»————————————-———-　⚜　———————————-————-««

Billy opened his mouth to say something placatory but seeing just how furious she looked, he decided that a tactical withdrawal was probably the sensible option.

So instead he drained his beer, stood up and began walking to the door. He stopped and turned halfway across the room, gazing at her, “But I do need to properly explain all this to you, angel. Let’s talk later, okay? Please - just give me a chance.”

She nodded, “OK. Tomorrow morning.” He walked to the door, feeling defeated, and left her room. At least she was gonna give him another shot.

»»————————————-———-　⚜　———————————-————-««

The door closed behind him, and you breathed a sigh of relief. Truly, you hadn’t been sure how he was going to react when you told him to leave - Billy had a temper on him. You really didn’t think he’d physically hurt you but he always had that air of danger about him. And you’d been so angry yourself, you’d kind of lost yourself in it.

He might be dangerous, but he was a cowardly little shit when it came to telling the truth. You thought back to what he’d said - ‘Nothing, I swear’ - yeah, a likely story! He must think you were so dumb!

Picking up the room service menu, you had a brief look through it then ordered a cheeseburger and a cup of coffee. While waiting for it, you got your laptop out of your bag and opened it up.

Sorry Barcelona, I haven’t seen even half of what I’d intended to and I’d been so looking forward to exploring.

But instead, I’ve got to love you and leave you.

»»————————————-———-　⚜　———————————-————-««

Billy stepped out of the walk-in shower wearing one of the hotel’s fluffy white dressing robes, and headed to his mini-bar. He needed another beer. And some food. He flicked through all the stuff lying out on the unit, finally finding the room service menu and ordering a steak and a coffee.

He sat on the window seat while he waited, propped up against the wall with his long legs stretched out in front of him. He was feeling guilty, uneasy and really not pleased with himself. Telling her the truth was turning out to be more difficult than he’d thought. He wondered out loud, “Why is that?” but in fact he damn well knew why. The way he’d been carrying on with Madani was wrong. Even if he’d only been intent on getting information, it was just like Frank had said - cheating - and he knew it. Even if, in Billy’s book, there was Cheating Lite and Cheating For Real, and his overstepping had only been into Lite territory. Was it really that bad?

Who was he kidding? Unsurprisingly, his girl didn’t like to share.

So one thing he knew for sure was that when - if - he ever told her the complete truth, his angel was going to be very, very unhappy with him indeed.

»»————————————-———-　⚜　———————————-————-««

You’d ordered a very early room service breakfast and after you’d eaten it while enjoying the view, your belongings were quickly stowed away and you took the lift down to the lobby. After checking out - and assuring the receptionist there was nothing wrong, you just had to leave earlier than you’d anticipated - you were on your way to the revolving door when your phone vibrated.

Karen: Billy got Micro to track you down again, sorry hon! He knows you’re in Barcelona 😳 he’ll be heading out there.

You: Yeah, he’s already here! Caught up with me yesterday evening. Agreed we’d talk this morning. But I’m in a taxi on the way to the airport 😉

Karen: 😂😂😂

Once outside, one of the guest services guys waved up a taxi from the nearby rank for you, and wished you a pleasant journey. The taxi driver asked you which terminal you were headed to, and then you were on your way.

Click on “help” for more tricks, e.g. appending or ordering tags. You can also easily fix a typo with this (find tag ‘atr’, replace with ‘art’).

Warn: it breaks sometimes lmao (at least it did when I tried to change tags on over 4k posts at once. Still managed to do it with a few tries)

Bonus: look at this beautiful loading animation from this site

Mass Post Editor

For batch deleting posts and editing tags:

You can also see all the tags which you used in your blog here. Details below.

 Find your tags

1) Most common tags - go to your blog’s archive (FYI you can see someone else’s tag counts in their blog’s archive as well)

2) All tags - see prompts while adding tags in Mass Post Editor:

3) All tags - extract from html in Mass Post Editor:

Explanation: for you to be able to see the prompts in the previous step they have to be fetched from the server. Tumblr dot com just injects all of your tags to the html sent to your browser, then searches this tag list while you’re typing in the box above. You can extract them from there.

Short version: search for ‘tags_to_add’ in html

Longer version:

Hit F12 (or whatever will open devtools in your browser)

Open Elements tab

Search for ‘tags_to_add’ (ctrl+f)

Right-click to copy the element 

Paste to your preferred text editor, delete noise and you’re done 🎉

Bonus: turn this messy list into an excel sheet with filters and sorting

Goal:

Let’s get to it.

1) Paste the html element with tags to a preferred editor (I’ll use the simplest Windows editor for your convenience but anything with the option to replace characters works)

2) Delete everything except the list of tags (beginning and end) 

3) Replace the delimiter (the thingy that separates the tags) for something that is not present inside the tags, I’ll choose #. Hit ctrl+h or choose Edit->Replace in the menu:

4) Convert unicode hexes to ascii e.g. \x3e to > (to have :> instead of :\x3e). I used this online converter

5) Copy the converted text and paste to a cell in excel. Then go by this:

Data->Text to columns 

Delimited -> Next

Other: # -> Finish

Select the whole row and copy

Paste options: Transpose to another cell, e.g. A2

Delete the first row and write ‘Tags’ as the header in A1

Data->Filter for the column with tags 

For the record - I’m not an excel expert so this may be a roundabout way.

The end 😬 Now you can sort, filter or whatever you like.

hi, everyone! this is a tutorial for a picloadr alternative for queuing promos because, as you might already know, picloadr stopped worked. personally, i like this method a lot better. it’s quite simple and fast, and it won’t force you to follow a blog like picloadr did. anyways, here we go! i’m going to include images to make this as clear as possible. if you need any clarification, please feel free to im me, and i’d be happy to help you out! PLEASE REBLOG THIS IF YOU FIND IT HELPFUL, SO OTHER PEOPLE CAN SEE IT TOO! 

so the first thing you need to do is install the extension tampermonkey if you don’t already have a userscript manager and then install this userscript from greasyfork.

then what you need to do is go to the mass post editor of your promo blog.

simply click “mass post editor” on the right side. you should be taken to a page that looks like this.

next, you want to click “batch”. you will then be taken to a page that looks like this.

then you want to make sure you have a promo folder with 100 copies of your promo like so.

select all of these images at once and drag them where it says “drop photos here”. you will then see something that looks like this.

go ahead and put your caption into the white box next to the topmost promo image. similar to making a post on tumblr, the white box has a post editor where you can format your posts, but if you’d like, you can simply copy and paste the caption from one of your promos. make sure you do not copy and paste the html of your caption. it is a rich text editor, not an html text editor. so if you try copying and pasting the html of your caption, it will not convert the formatting. just copy and paste the caption itself.

it should look something like this. now what you want to do is hit “clone abc”. it will automatically place the captions onto all of the promo images for you.

now you should see something like this.

then what you want to do is add the tags. go ahead and type in the tags into that white box on the left. you can choose to add the tags to every single post by clicking “add tags to all” or you can do it one-by-one by clicking “add tags (single)”. as you might have noticed, with tumblr’s new dashboard, more than 5 tags will actually show up in the tags now, so you can actually tag each promo with more than 5 tags. however, i recommend that you be very careful with this; if your posts are too frequent, your promos will no longer show up. i would suggest that you do some experimentation with this and see what shows up and what doesn’t.

anyways, once you decide on your tags, you should see something like this!

now click anywhere to get the tag box to disappear. then you want to click on “post photos”. make sure the “new photo/photoset posts as draft” box is checked. it should finish very quickly. for me, it takes only about 2 minutes to draft 100 promos.

then what you want to do is hit the “draft” button at the top. it’s the one in between “published” and “queued”.

now all you have to do is hit the “select 100″ button on the top righthand side. then hit “queue drafts”. 

it will take about a minute to queue all the drafts. then you’re all done!

click the “queued” button next to “draft” to see your newly queued post. from here, you can select and mass edit the tags and captions of several posts incredibly quickly if you need to. you can also select older promos and hit “re-as draft” to draft them and then queue them again if you want to. it makes the process go by quicker next time.

hope this helps and again, if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact me!

twenty questions

tagged by @are-you-quite-finished-giovanna thank you babe!! 🥰

1. why did you choose your url?

simply put i adore louis and i like purple and it just rolled off the tongue lol, but i also had a list of possible urls i also liked and i had to snatch this one up while i could!

2. any side blogs?

yes i have four....i'm not one of those 'everything goes on main and you can deal with it' type people.... but i have an inspiration blog @prickelndauge (art insp, lots of fashion, cool photography), an art-only blog @swmpwxtch, one just for spooky/creepy content because i'm really into horror manga and scary movies and that kind of stuff but i keep it off of main because i know a lot of it can often be triggering to others! (i also don't post much there but @bonepickng) and one for art references, life tips, random resources, and more donation sharing @am-ref!

3. how long have you been on tumblr?

soooo long i thought i'd be gone by now tbh. i know i signed up in 2011 after just browsing the site through random blogs and tags for ages, but i didn't start actively using my own account until early 2012!

4. do you have a queue tag?

when i actually remember to tag things i have queued i'll use 'i'm sleep queue' because all my early morning posts everyday are queued....i am an insomniac rip

5. why did you start your blog in the first place?

keeping up with my interests better! i was like 15/16 at the time so it made sense. back in Ye Olde Days much like now—i really have come full circle lmao—it was mostly just for 1d and then some random tv shows/franchises i just to see content of semi-often, as well as finding cool art!

6. why did you choose your icon/pfp?

rn it's just a regular pic of louis! as much as i like using my collages or little edits as my icons, you can't see much of anything and it looks too busy sometimes (but also the photo i have rn....i am always thinking thoughts about it soooo)

7. why did you choose your header?

it's pretty! i wanted everything to follow a color scheme + i love embroidery and fancy gowns!

8. what's your post with the most notes?

ok i thought it was gonna be one of my old larry chibi doodles because i know a few of them hit 1k+ notes, but i deleted those in 2017 and apparently now it's this 6 year old like....funky photo study i did of dan howell from 2015 when i still watched him and amazingphil a lot?? i mean at least it's something i was once proud of lmao....there's a few art posts i have with semi decent notes that i pretend i Do Not See

9. how many mutuals do you have?

i think rn 40 something so not very many, although i unfollowed a lot of people i was moots with when i left my last fanbase so that's probably why 😬 i've been meaning to check out more HL/ot5 people though!! i love mutual interaction but i'm afraid of being annoying if i'm any degree of attentive

10. how many followers do you have?

overall i have almost 2.4k rn, but there's a decent amount that are totally inactive or at least don't interact with me so it feels like....a lot less lmao but since re-joining 1d i've already made up like all the people i lost when i left my other fanbase of almost three and more so thank you for actually liking my work and maybe me as well 🥺💗

11. how many ppl do you follow?

around 370 rn!

12. have you ever made a shitpost?

half of the stuff that comes out of my mouth is a shitpost fdngjkdf like my tags are bad enough lmao, no one needs to properly share the bs i have to say

13. how often do you use tumblr?

pretty regularly rn but there are times i'll go completely MIA depending on what i'm into/how busy i am!

14. did you have a fight/argument with another blog?

in the past i have had some....issues with other people i've met on here but never directly had confrontation with them? most of the time that's happened i figure it's been one-sided though because i can get irritated with certain behavior really quickly—like i always say my heart is big and open but my bullshit tolerance is dangerously low—but when that's the case i'll just unfollow or block without saying anything?

although back in the day there was one instance (and seriously if anyone remembers this you deserve a medal because this shit was Ridiculous) where i kinda but not really called out another 1d fanartist who posted untagged noncon fanart they'd done of at least two of the boys, and then acted like it was no big deal (like. 1. those are irl people my dude and 2. untagged noncon art?? in front of my salad??) and their friends kept defending them for it and tried to come for me claiming i was a proponent of Purity Culture when i'm not and literally all i said in my post on it was that in my own opinion it was kinda fucked up to draw noncon art of real life people—not characters played by actors! but actual real people as themselves—in the first place, but if you felt the need to post highly triggering content like that the least you could do was tag it accordingly

but i think that was the last time properly so i guess times within this fanbase are still chaotic as ever just in a different way?

15. how do you feel about "you need to rb this" posts?

Annoyed™️ like don't guilt trip me over a post lmao i do what i want !!

16. do you like tag games?

YES i love to talk about myself after years of trying not to show any personality online out of fear of judgement dfjkngdf

17. do you like ask games?

yes! i want to do them more but i'm always afraid of reblogging one and then getting nothing and looking like a Fool :'(

18. which one of your mutuals is tumblr famous?

i guess i have a few moots that are kinda well-known or at least get good interaction within the community we're a part of? also isn't that phrase kind of an oxymoron at this point adfjkdf

19. do you have a crush on a mutual?

not past platonic friendly affection lmao but honestly what is it like to have a realistic crush on an actual tangible person versus someone in the public eye who doesn't even know i exist.....it's been so long and i am so lonely please send help

20. tags?

@niallnailme @bolitodequeso @milkcurls @exzouis @ialwaysknewyouwerepunk @got-my-devotion @aliensyndrome uhhh anyone who'd like to please consider yourself tagged by me! literally if there was an 'all my moots' button i'd just pick that lmao and as always no pressure/sorry if you've already done this and i haven't seen!

To the Anon who asked for my opinion on Reblogs vs. Likes

TL;DR → Hitting the like button is like telling someone you love them while hitting the reblog/retweet is like expressing through action that you love them. Both buttons express love and feel good in their own right, but one over the other carries a more meaningful weight behind it. Really, the happy scenario here is if both buttons were hit because you get the best of both worlds.

Also, to fucking Hell to the bullshit conventions of “cringe” and to its whole host of brethren that sprung up out of social media culture during the past few years and decade. If you’re going to give fucks over someone because of what they like, look at your fucking self and think of how you’ll feel if someone did that to you. Mind your damn business if someone likes and/or reblogs something that you find cringy. Honestly, it feels like the ones that stir up that noise want to be recognized for something and let me tell you, you’re being recognized by my fist against your jaw.

Reblogs are an essential part to a content creator’s growth, especially in the beginning of their journey and as they’re discovering their style and especially when they’re joining other platforms to grow and diversify their audience. Reblogging or retweeting a creator’s content into your space opens up an avenue that benefits three parties. The first party is the content creator because their work is given more exposure and this provides an entry-way for others to discover more of what they’ve done. The second party is you yourself because generally, people on social media share what they love, what they enjoy, what resonates with them, etc…

If there is a piece of content that amazed, excited, took your breath away or what-have-you, I would say it’s almost human nature to want to share that experience and have others experience it too. And lastly but not leastly, the third party that benefits is your audience. By reblogging another creator’s work and introducing your space to them, you’re helping your audience find more content that they might enjoy, that they resonate with as well, etc… It’s like a domino-effect: those people might reblog the work to their spaces, their spaces might reblog the work to more spaces, and you see this beautiful chain of events. 

As a content creator myself, I am inherently biased. I would prefer reblogs a lot more than likes. I am very familiar with other artists, writers, photographers, cosplayers, gift editors and all the alike who express that same sentiment. With the shifts that have been going on in social media during the past few years and the change in fandom culture as well, there has been a significant shift in the reblog vs. like debacle.

We see time and time again, likes are now the predominant button that people click on and then they go about their merry way. I’m only familiar with Twitter and Tumblr so I don’t have much of a say for other social media platforms. However, what I can say is that Twitter and especially Tumblr are communities that have grown and proliferated because of the reblog/retweet function. With the advent of newer social media like Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok or whatnot -- from what I could see as an outsider, those platforms are built more for the like function than for sharing. Or at least, those platforms share creator works not as directly as Twitter or Tumblr has. I could be wrong about that, but this is from what I’ve seen and am familiar about on those platforms.

Increasingly, something else that has caused the great rift between reblog vs. like how fandom and overall social media culture has changed. A lot. I don’t think this should surprise anyone but creating a piece of art or writing or gif edit or anything of the like takes time. Could take half an hour, days, weeks, months even? Content creators aren’t machines busting out pieces every second of the day. We have lives and when we can, we dedicate our time to creating what we love. Because there are so many of us on social media and we’re all sharing our works at different times, it’s no-question that we drown each other out and that a lot of people beyond our audiences even see or are even aware of what we made.

For content creators with an established audience or with an audience that is relatively large, they’re not as burdened by this fact because of their audience and you can count on a subsection of their audience is going to share the work and reblog or retweet it to their audience. For a beginning content creator or for someone that’s coming into a new platform for the first time is building on their preexisting audience from a different platform, that crutch is either non-existent or not-guaranteed. To these individuals, reblogs or retweets can make or break if they’ll continue using this platform or if they’ll continue creating. Because of lower engagement and because their work isn’t given exposure if any.

Likes are fairly decent. They alert a content creator that YOU enjoyed it, but a reblog or a retweet means so much more because in a way, it says: I love it enough where I want others to experience this too. I would even say that the like button is just verbalizing that you love something while a reblog/retweet is the actual action that expresses you love something. From what I’ve heard, action speaks much louder than words.

Earlier, I did comment that I was a content creator and that I would be inherently biased in this thing. That is true. However, there are instances and circumstances I can think on why someone chooses not to reblog what you created. Keep in mind that there are more instances than just the ones I’ll describe and that ultimately when it comes down to it, it is personal preference on whether someone wants to reblog/retweet your work or not.

Perhaps your work doesn’t fit with someone’s theme -- a valid statement, especially since social media tends to lean more towards aesthetics and having an account or blog that curates content of a similar nature. Perhaps this person can’t share for that reason but love the work regardless of that, so they hit that like button because it’s the only thing they can do right now. This person could create another account where they do just reblog things only, but handling a lot of accounts can get confusing and there isn’t much of an audience associated with accounts like that so….it’s up to you as a content creator on how you feel about that.

Another reason why someone didn’t reblog/retweet your work is because although they love the execution or how it was done, something about the content itself doesn’t resonate with them and that’s why they hit the like button only. I do this, especially with fanart. I’ll find an illustration that I love, but there’s something about the content itself that I don’t want to share in my space. Perhaps it’s a pairing or a character or something about it that subjectively, while I can objectively say it’s a good piece of work, I cannot share it for so-and-so reasons.

Another reason can be that if it’s a fandom piece, maybe someone isn’t familiar with your fandom but is liking it to give you support. Or maybe if it’s an original piece, someone gives you a like for support despite their disinterest or maybe the original work itself isn’t their thing but they want you to know that they saw it and want to support in a way that feels best with how they feel about it.

Another reason could be that: hey, I know people who use likes to bookmark content they’ve seen and are adding it to their queue. So the actual reblog will occur in a later time.

These are things to consider as a content creator, as much as we bemoan and give the dirty eye to likes because of the perceived lack of engagement in them. This reblog vs. like debate isn’t one-sided. It involves you and the other person, the person being whoever has glanced at your work.

Both parties cannot force the other to do anything. In general, forcing doesn’t do much of anything -- other than create arguments. Just as content creators cannot force their audience to reblog/retweet, the audience cannot force the content creator to create anything.

In situations like this, I think what would be more beneficial are encouragements and possibly breaking down the bullshit conventions social media culture has cultivated with the rise of “cringe”, with the rise blatant bullying against people because of what they like and the harassment that ensues because of antis and whatever the fuck they do to push a faux-agenda for cleaner and pure content, with the rise of gatekeeping because that shit exists, etc…

I feel that the reblog vs. like debacle is almost a result of other things that have bled their influence in this and that to make meaningful steps forward to a balanced reblog:like ratio, something has to be done about the issues I addressed and above and their subsequent brethren.

Current Activities in Gaming #222 (and life in general)

Do I even have anyone left to read my stuff? Alright, I’m gonna be real here. There’s a few variables that led to my inactivity on Tumblr. Let’s break down a few. 1) It’s not as fun. And not just because nudity was removed, though let’s be honest that’s certainly a variable. Ever since the Tumblr company shuffling of leadership there’s been a few choice updates that just don’t lend well towards the community. My activity feed is mostly just memes at this point. Also, I love blogging but I’ve yet to find a different platform to do so on, but I’ll be sure to google some alternatives soon enough.

2) I’d rather just be playing. These bigger CA posts typically take an hour or two to write up. I don’t plan them, I just open the post up and let my thoughts just get dumped. An hour or two is a lot of time, and that’s plenty of time to make some headway in certain games. Maybe pausing during an MMO during a dungeon queue or a raid party reset, but I don’t think I’ve touched an MMO in a couple of years so that window has closed.  As a 2a, you could also just say I just very simply haven’t been in the mood to dedicate an hour or two every couple of days.

3) Schedule switchup and fatigue. A few months ago I transferred out of front end at the grocery store I work at, and into the produce department. There was more than one chance. For one, I no longer work morning shifts (often was 7am to 1pm or noonish). That’s 5-6 hour shifts and that gives me my day to play around with. However the produce department needed a closer, so now I’m up to 8.5 hour shifts, typically 1:30 to 10pm (EST, in case that matters). I was getting 40 hours a week but I asked my boss to downgrade me to 32 instead, which is still a few more than what I was getting on front end in addition to a raise, because front end is typically the “bottom” of the retail totem pole for some reason, despite them being pretty damn important to customer experience. Regardless, at the end of almost 9 hours, I typically just come home, turn on an ASMR video on my second monitor and basically shut my brain and body down as I mindlessly plug away at whatever game I’m playing. And yes, apparently I’m ‘essential’. So I’m still working during the pandemic.

Now then. Let’s get to what I’ve been up to, and none of this is in any particular order since I’ve last posted. I must have hopped to two or three different Conan Exiles servers while ultimately settling on Oasis of Pleasure, a very ERP driven place. I spend a good month or two being active and then I just gotta wait for the next server reset and let my personal CE batteries recharge.

I’ve gotten back into Skyrim, and I really should do some scrolling to find my last CA number for that. I’ve more than doubled my hours on the special edition, and apparently it’s been just under four years since I touched it last. Right now I’m playing a sort of nonlethal thief. The Ordinator perk overhaul (which is a must have, honestly) gives the light armor tree some big bonuses to hand to hand and makes it incredibly viable even in higher difficulties. She keeps a bow and knife around for “monsters” but ultimately uses her fists against most humanoids. I’ve been trying something different during the thieves guild questline: Actually sneaking by everyone and not murdering the fuck out of every humanoid you run into. Which is an option, fun enough. You can fail the radiant quests by murdering the homeowners but most of the questline is filled with mercenaries and you can’t really ‘fail’ the main missions (though I wonder what happens if you kill that argonian?) otherwise players could block a shit load of content from themselves.

I’ve also played a hot barbarian werewolf girl, some kind of Nazgul looking woman, and some other stuff.

Hilariously I’ve yet to get a decent screenshot of my current nonlethal thief. Her kit is pretty damn basic, wearing a custom set of the guildmaster armor with the black bandoleers. Honestly she looks pretty unassuming, which is kind of the purpose. Maybe I’ll go take her hood off and get a screenshot. Some day.

After that, I will say I’ve done some preorders. I still await Bloodlines 2 and Cyberpunk 2077. Delays notwithstanding, last time I checked they’re being released at roughly the same timeframe. I also preordered Horizon Zero Dawn which I am enjoying but must admit that some elements of it are a tad underwhelming. Maybe it’s because I played a good chunk of AC:Odyssey again recently, but I grow tired of the random garbage pickup game for basic crafting. Games just can’t really stand on their own two legs anymore, and open world games seem to be stuck on a few trends they can’t shake. Running around mining for ore and picking at tree branches is not fun. It’s a side effect of HZD indeed being four years old already, but I’ll still probably get a good few dozen hours on it. Not sure if I’ll bother beating it, but I do like Aloy and her story, though I’ve been treated with some spoilers since its release so I kind of know where it’s headed. After that... Let’s check my ‘recent’ list on Steam.

So we got some Town of Salem, which has become my go-to night closer before bed most nights. Last time I made a post on it I probably only had 10-20 hours played, of which I now have over 200. I’m sure as hell a lot better than I used to be, but the All Any gamemodes still manage to make my headspin, but they lead to some hilarious moments. All other modes makes it very difficult because of the “no claim space” meta, so I like hitting AA so I can claim whatever the hell I want. I’ve wanted to get back into Dying Light but it does something dirty to my computer that always demands a hard restart. You basically can’t tab away at all, even in borderless mode. And when I try exiting, I can no longer click any tabs. So hard power button it is. It’s such a good game and it feels really good to play, but I just can’t let it force me to do hard restarts anymore. I’ve dabbled into many others and some aren’t worth mentioning too much. We got Star Wars Battlefront 2, which I was approaching with some level of skill. I like the Co-Op modes but it feels like there’s only like three maps for that. Was fun with my brother for a while but that mode needs like ten new maps. But I believe development has stopped (a while ago, too), as the team is probably working on the next thing. I’ve already posted my dealings with the likes of Mount and Blade 2: Bannerlord and Generation Zero. I never got around to beating GZ’s Alpine expansion. I got my 40 hours of it and frankly... that was enough. Good game, just lacks some depth. Some reviewers mentioned that the loop became too shallow and I can kind of agree, even though it took me 40 hours to get to that point.  As for MNB, I’m sort of waiting on the more final phases of its early access. It’s basically getting patched every since week and I had trouble keeping up with all the mod downloads. So I’m thinking of doing a full uninstall (mods and all) and waiting longer down the development line. Maybe with workshop support, playing and updating will be more stable. That’s about the last I have within the last few months. I’ll probably get around to finding my last Skyrim post and pick up from where I left off.

Buy the Winchester Brothers’ Scent Here!

******

      You trudged down the street and braced yourself against the wind. The weather had been getting colder and you had no idea what you were going to do. You had been on your own for about a month and it wasn’t going so well. You pulled your jacket tighter around you. It was the one possession you still owned besides the pocket knife in your boot. You passed the store and saw the newspaper setting in the window. There had been another murder. This made 4 in the last two weeks. You decided to take a chance and go to the scene. Maybe you could figure out what was killing these people. Making note of the address, you started walking across town.

      You finally reached the address and looked at the cop cars surrounding the driveway. Taking a deep breath, you headed for the sheriff, but stopped short when you recognized the gentlemen standing next to him. You quickly moved behind one of the tall trees and peered around. Both men were tall, but one was about three or four inches taller than the other. It had been years since you had seen the Winchester boys. Dean hadn’t changed much. Even from this distance you could see his bowed legs. Sam, on the other hand, had changed a lot. He didn’t look like the same shy boy you knew. His hair was longer and he had finally grown into his lanky limbs. Both boys controlled the scene and took down notes. You weren’t going to interfere if Sam and Dean had the case. You sneaked one more glance before leaving. 

      However, when you looked up you saw Sam looking right at you. You bolted the opposite direction and hoped he hadn’t recognized you. You continued running and ducked down a small alley to catch your breath. You slid down the brick wall and sat on the cold ground. You couldn’t believe that you had seen Sam and Dean. You were nine when you saw them last. Sam was ten and Dean was about fourteen. You spent a lot of time with them when your parents weren’t home. Their Dad and your parents were hunters and they worked together often. A tear rolled down your cheek when you realized that Sam and Dean turned out so much better than you. Granted, you knew from the minute you met them that Sam and Dean had a brighter future than you. You were pulled from your thoughts when you heard someone call your name.

“Y/N?” Sam called.

      You stand to run when someone grabbed your arm to stop you.

“Y/N?” He repeated.

You turned and faced him. “Depends on who’s asking.”

“You remember me, Y/N? He asked. “It’s Sam Winchester.”

“I remember.” You whispered. “You and Dean are kind of hard to forget.”

Sam seemed lost for words. “So…umm… How have you been? How are you parents? What are --?”

Sam stopped when he saw the tears forming in your eyes. “Y/N…what’s wrong? Did something happen?”

“You could say that, Sam.” You said with a shaky breath.

He placed his hand on your shoulder. “Dean and I are staying in a motel a few blocks away. Come on, we have some catching up to do.”

You looked up at him. “Are you sure? I don’t want to impede on you guys.”

Sam laughed. “Come on, Y/N. It’s fine. Dean will be just as excited as I am to see you.”

       You followed Sam to the motel as the sun started to set and recognized the glossy black Impala in the parking lot.

“You guys still drive her?” You joked.

“Yeah.” Sam nodded. “That’s Dean’s baby. Dad passed it to him when he died.”

      You heard about John’s death through your parents. It was hard to imagine Sam and Dean without their father. Dean was sitting on the bed with a computer in his lap. His jacket draped across a chair, leaving him in his white button-up.

“I’m back.” Sam announced.

“What’d you find?” He asked without looking up.

“More like who.” Sam laughed.

       Dean looked up and you gave him a small smile. You could see the gears turning in his head as he put two and two together.

“Y/N?” He said slowly.

“In the flesh.” You stated.

        He set his laptop on the bed beside him and moved to give you a hug.

“It’s been years, kid.” He laughed.

“Yeah.” You whispered.

     He stepped back to take a better look at you. You brushed a strand of hair back and knew you could use a shower. Dark circles lined your eyes from lack of sleep. You looked rough and you had done the best you could in your current situation. 

“How’s life been treating ya?” He asked.

“It’s been better.” You admitted.

      Sam tossed something at you and you caught it before it hit you. It was a pair of sweatpants and an old t-shirt.

“Dean and I were about to about to get some take-out.” He started. “You’re welcome to stay.”

“Actually,” Dean corrected him. “You are staying. So, go take a shower while we get food.”

“O-okay.” You stammered out.

      The boys chuckled as you went to the small bathroom. You slid your jacket off and placed it on the hook hanging from the door. You stood under the hot water and you felt the stress leave your body for a moment. It felt so good to take a shower. You quickly washed your hair and body before shutting the water off. You didn’t want to hog all the hot water. You pulled on the pants that Sam had given you and tied the drawstring tighter. You also had to roll the legs up some. Sam had always been long-legged. You tugged the shirt on and towel dried your hair. You folded up your old clothes and grabbed your jacket. Opening the door, you set your stuff down on the floor beside the bed and moved over to where Sam and Dean were sitting. Dean handed you a takeout container as you settled onto the bed.

“You still like Chinese, right?” Sam asked from the table by the bed.

“Yeah.” You chuckled. 

“Told you!” Dean boasted to Sam. “I told you so!”

        Sam rolled his eyes while you ate from the container in your hand. Chinese had always been your favorite when you were younger. After the three of you finished your meal, the boys told you stories of what they had been up in the last 14 years. A pit formed in your stomach as they continued. You had moved over to Sam’s bed and were fiddling with the hem of your shirt.

“What about you?” Dean asked. “How are you? What have you been doing and hunting? How are your parents?”

You took a shaky breath as the boys looked at you. “I’ve been better, boys.”

“What do you mean?” Dean asked.

You wiped away the tears that had somehow streaked down your face. “Dad…Dad died about a year ago, and Mom hasn’t been the same.”

Sam and Dean were silent as you continued your story. “Mom stopped hunting and when she did hunt she would nearly get herself killed. She blamed me for everything. About a month ago, I came back from a hunt and all my stuff was gone. She kicked me out except for what I had on me, which wasn’t much. So, I just started walking because she took my keys. I only have my wallet, my clothes, and what money was left from Dad’s investments. I haven’t exactly figured out what I’m going to do.”

       The tears followed freely as you finished explaining your situation. Sam moved over next to you and pulled you against his chest.

“I hate to ask.” Dean stated. “How did your dad die?”

“It’s my fault.” You muttered into Sam’s chest.

“How?” Sam asked.

You pulled back. “I left. I wanted to go to college. I wanted a new life and Dad was okay with it. Mom wasn’t and she tried to get me to stay. I packed what I could fit into a duffel bag and I headed off for college. I was supposed to stay and help with one more case, but I couldn’t handle Mom’s harassment anymore. Dad told me to go. He said they could handle the case, but… I got a call a few days later that I needed to get home. I got back and Dad was in the hospital. The shifter case had gone wrong and the doctors said he probably wouldn’t make it. Mom blamed me. She said I was selfish for leaving and Dad getting hurt was all my fault. Daddy never woke up. He never woke up and it’s all my fault.”

“Hey,” Sam said. “It’s not your fault. You didn’t know that would happen.”

“If I stayed…” You started.

“It could have been you in the hospital.” Dean interrupted. “You’ll never know, but you can’t blame yourself on what if’s. It’s not your fault.” 

“Where have you been staying the last month?” Sam asked.

You wiped the rest of your tears away. “Bouncing from motel to motel with what cash I have left. I hustle pool to earn some cash when it gets tight.”

      You felt Sam and Dean exchange a glance while you leaned against Sam’s shoulder.

“Come with us.” Dean suggested.

“What?” You asked. “I can’t do that to you guys.”

“Nonsense.” Sam said. “Trust me when I say we have enough space.”

“I don’t want to burden you guys.” You stated.

“I would give up trying to change our mind.” Dean laughed. “We’re still as stubborn as we were as kids.”

You chuckled. “Fine. If you guys insist.”

Sam wrapped his arm around your shoulder. “We’re family, Y/N. We’ve always been family and we’re here whenever you need us.”

Upload Audio on Mobile Tutorial

Update 4/14/21: Outdated tutorial. Does not work with Tumblr’s new website.

that’s not via soundcloud or spotify

Oh hey. Sup squad. This is in regards to @nickyklosed​ ‘s Riko Roast, but this can be used for other audio tag memes.

This has only been tested on iPhone so if you have an Android, please let us know if it works.

Original Post Date: January 11, 2019

Updated: January 14, 2019

Step 0: Reach deep into the back of your memory for your tumblr password because you’re gonna need it.

The rest is under the cut because pictures make a post long.

Record Yourself

There are a couple options. In this tutorial, we will be looking at the video route and the voice memo route. There may be other ways to do it like with GarageBand (free application on iPhone) or other audio recording applications, but these are the two I looked into.

Another thing to note is that this tutorial will not cover editing recordings.

Via Video Recording - By far the easiest way to do it.

Open up the camera application and put it on the video setting.

Hit record.

Say your stuff.

That’s it.

It doesn’t matter what the camera is pointing at because when you upload, it will take the audio only.

Via iPhone Voice Memo - You will need a way to store audio files on your iPhone. I used the local storage GarageBand provides so you may need to download GarageBand. There’s also iCloud (free up to 5GB) and Google Drive (free up to 15GB). Update: Tested this method with a 2 second file and a 90 second file. They both worked despite both files being m4a (tumblr doesn’t like m4a). Larger files (9 minute and change) fail to upload due to unknown error.</update>

Step 1: Open the Voice Memo Application

Step 2: On the bottom of the screen, hit the red circle to record (it will turn into a red square to indicate recording). Speak. When you’re done, hit the red square to stop recording.

Step 3: Tap the three dots by your memo to bring up an options menu.

Step 4: (a) Tap ‘Share’ to bring up another options menu. (b) Tap ‘Save to Files’ to save the memo. (If you’re using Google Drive, tap ‘Copy to Drive’ and it will open Google Drive application)

Step 5: Choose where you wish to save. In this case it was ‘On My Phone’ > ‘GarageBand’. When you have picked a place, tap ‘Add’ in the top right corner of the screen.

Step 6: Congrats! Audio!

Upload to Tumblr

To upload an audio file to tumblr on mobile, you can’t use the tumblr application (unless the file you want to upload is on spotify or soundcloud). To get around this, log into tumblr on the internet browsing application provided by your phone and do it that way.

Step 1: Remember what email and what password you used for tumblr.

Step 2: Open Safari (Google Chrome may also work, but I didn’t test it. If someone goes that route, please let me know if it works or not.)

Step 3: Navigate to tumblr dot com and sign in.

Step 4: (a) In the top left tap the three stacked lines (btw it’s called a hamburger button because it looks like a hamburger) to open up the menu. (b) Tap ‘Create a Post’.

Step 5: (a) Towards the top on the right, tap the purple headphones to make an audio post. Then tap ‘Upload and audio file’. (b) Then tap ‘Choose an audio file’. This will open a menu to choose a method to upload an audio file.

Step 6: Method 1 (Take a Photo or Video) - Exactly as it says on the tin. Method 2 (Photo Library) - For those who recorded a video, this is what you choose. From your Photos choose the video you want to use. Method 3 (Browse) - If you did a voice memo, this is how you access the file. It should pop up in recents. If it doesn’t, on the bottom left of the screen is the browse button. Use that to navigate to where the file is stored. Select your file.

Step 7: Type a description for your post if you want, tap the legal jargon box, tap the ‘Options’ box to bring up a menu to add tags, post to a different blog, queue/schedule/draft the post, etc.

Step 8: Tap ‘Post’. It might take a while to upload and post. Give it a moment.

That’s the gist of it.

Dreaming

A continuation of Healing:

Because I like to keep old wounds open for as long as possible. Don’t expect the “perfect” ending. I’m a little evil.

Dreaming.

Sitting at your computer in the early morning hours you feel like a complete zombie. Another three videos needs to be edited and refined before they can be put into the queue while Mark is touring. It doesn’t help that Mark went on a recording frenzy three days ago.

Covering your yawn you end up smacking your lips, reaching for your water bottle and take a drink before saving your current progress. You promised to get things done before everyone leaves on the tour, but at this pace you won’t be done until after the tour begins. Pressing the power button on the computer screen you sit up, stretch your spine, slump forward and walk over to the familiar couch.

Diving head first into the cushions you manage to wrap yourself up in the blanket thrown across the back of the couch and fall sleep.  It doesn’t take long for your dreams to take you to a place you don’t want to be. Each time you arrive in this space of your subconscious you wake up feeling even more alone.

“Ah, I’ve been waiting for you.” Dark greets with a playful smirk.

Your hand moves without your intervention. You follow this same routine each time this dream comes around. You know it’s a dream. Only in your sleep do you see Dark anymore.

Around you raindrops fall from the inky blackness above you but they never splash against your skin. Dark leads you down a cobble stone street to a lovely manor similar to the one Mark used in WKMP. You want to cry, to pull away from the touch of Dark’s hand, but you can never break free.

Securing your arm in the crook of his elbow Dark escorts you closer to the manor. Your breath hitches in your throat and your heart races as you get closer to the building. It’s beautiful, painfully so, but it’s not the beauty that cause your reaction.

No, it's the fear. The fear of what lies inside the manor. This isn’t the Dark you knew, this one is strange and off center. Digging your heels into the ground you bring yourself and Dark to a halt.

“What is wrong?” Dark asks looking at your with concern you’ve seen briefly a few times before he disappeared.

Biting the inside of your cheek your eyes glance from the large manor to Dark. “I can’t, I can’t go…” Your breath catches in your throat. Every this happens you are forced to relive the most painful experience of your life.

Dark’s eyes drop to your lips, a pained smile gracing his otherwise serene features. Your heart clenches painfully in your chest. All you want to do is scream for him to stop. “It is selfish of me of me to expect you to leave behind your family, your friends, this like you enjoy for me; to make me happy.” The scene around your changes while you stare at Dark; a hole forming in the pit of your stomach.

You’re back in the office two years ago when Dark left you for good. Sealing your lips together you refuse to follow the same story line again. Every time you have this dream it’s the same thing over and over again. “No! Enough! I love you, even if I didn’t know it then. I’m sorry… I’m so sorry I hurt you.” You shout as you have before. Your heart shutters unable to continue with the same cycle over and over again.

You’ll wake up in the morning with tear in your eyes because nothing ever changes. This is your personal hell and you deserve it. “I deserve this.” You whisper dropping your head. Tears splash soundlessly off your lashes. Closing your eyes you wait for the dream to end and mercifully it does just like it always does.

“Hey, Y/n, you fell asleep at the computer again.” Mark says nudging you with a cup of hot tea. Stirring from your slumber you lift your drowsy head and look at Mark with confusion.

“I…I lay down at the… I mean… couch.” You mumble taking the cup from Mark and set it next to your keyboard. Looking at your space the computer screen is black but as soon as you hit the mouse it lights back up to the video you’d been working on.

That doesn’t make sense. You turned off the computer and went to sleep on the couch… or at least you thought you did. Could you have had a dream within a dream? Is that possible? Going to the couch felt so real, but then again so did the rest of your dream.

Mark takes the seat next to you, reaching out to touch your forehead. “Are you feeling okay? You look like you’re getting sick.” Mark asks concerned for you.

Pulling your head away from his touch you groan quietly. “I’m fine; I’ve just been having this same reoccurring dream.” Pausing your rethink your words and amend with, “More like nightmare. It’s the same thing over and over again and I’m tired of it.”

Mark leans back into the seat, his arms crossed over his chest, a concerned expression on his face. He knows what dream you’re talking about. “What’s the count at now?” He asks softly knowing the others will be arriving soon.

Closing your eyes you sip your tea. “For this week? Day four.” You answer glancing at Mark from the corner of your eye. He sighs. You know it hurts him too to see you in such a bad way. “It’s almost the anniversary—and I know you hate me calling it that.” You add quickly amending yourself, your hand going up to halt Mark before he can correct you.

Mark growls ever so slightly at you but doesn’t correct you. “You know I haven’t felt him since that night.” Mark says like he has before. You nod your head in understanding. It’d taken a long time for the pair of you, even Amy to accept that Dark was gone and he’d done just as he promised.

He cured you. “I should have gone with him.” You whisper quietly.” Mark doesn’t comment. He’s tried that before and it ended up in you in tears and the rest of the group in confusion.

“Is your passport and stuff ready to go?” Mark asks deciding to change the subject. He watches you take another sip of your tea and sigh with enjoyment. Since Dark’s departure Mark realized just how much he really knew about you, almost as if Dark left behind everything he’d learned about you over the years.

“Just about. My bags and thing are packed, I just plan on buying things depending on where we are, but other than that I’m good to go.” You say with a shrug.

“Won’t that get expensive?” Mark asks hearing the door begin to open and close as crew file in for the early morning shooting.

You shrug again. “Eh, maybe I’ll just have you guys sign my clothes and I’ll just sell them to your fans before leaving the city.” You tease with a wink. Talking with Mark’s become a little easier since you no longer have to pretend you don’t know anything about Dark.

Mark rolls his eyes but still smiles cheekily at you. He knows a little bit of Dark rubbed off on you before his disappeared. You’re more devious than you used to be and he finds it adorable in a way. “You’re going to be okay, Y/n. You know that right?” He asks standing up from the small work bench and computers.

Spinning the cup carefully in your hands you tell him you know despite feeling the opposite. Giving a confident smile you shoo him off when Tyler calls out to him, turning back to your computer. Glancing at the door you pause before picking up your headphone and go back to work.

“Kill me...” You moan wishing you could throw your current work against the wall. It’s another late night for you but if you want to have everything done in time to relax on the bus you have to get it finished. Groaning you take your headset off and set it on the table, standing up from the table to stretch out your muscles.

You can hear Mark in his recording room shouting up a storm at some game you can’t remember the name of. Giggling on your way to the kitchen you get into the ridge and get a bottle of water and something to snack on before heading back to your spot again. Sitting down you put the carrot in your mouth and get back to work.

It's nearly one by the time you finish the last three videos and just in time too. Tomorrow is a complete wrap up, getting the building locked up and set up schedules for those that have to stay in LA, it's going to be a nightmare but you can't wait. You've never been on tour before and even though it's just the States first it's a lot to go along with.

Yawning you debate driving home, but when how tired you are you might as well stay over again and leave early tomorrow after any additional assignments. Digging through your small bag you pull out a clean tank top and a pair of pajama shorts before entering the bathroom to change.

When you exit the bathroom a few minutes and a good teeth brushing later you notice Mark standing in the doorway looking around the connecting room. "Hey, you heading home?" You ask already going for the couch.

Mark turns as you sit and put your things away. Mark chuckles in that deep tone you've become quite found off. "Yeah, I take it you're staying here?" He asks looking over the couch, peering down at you with an amused smirk on his face.

"Gotta protect the precious data Sir!" You announce playfully. Mark laughs and you join him. "In all seriousness I am staying over. I'm just so bushed. I can't hardly keep my eyes open." You say suddenly yawning as if to prove your point. Mark ruffles your hair.

"Okay, get enough sleep. I have a few things I need you to do tomorrow." Mark says saying goodnight as he leaves the office, setting the alarm, and locking the door. You mutter similar in response and settle into your little cocoon of blankets and pillows. You just manage to plug your phone in before sleep takes you without mercy.

You have the same dream as always... or... may be not.

Something is different as your arm is linked with Dark's, walking down the cobble stone street again towards the large manor. The rain still falls around you but never seems to soak you, but there is a difference you can't properly pinpoint. Dark seems... different.

"D-Dark..." You whisper realizing you're off script for the first time. Dark stops without you digging your heels into the ground. The thundering you'd been hearing isn't your heart but the sound of actual thunder rolling across the sky. Staring up you actually see a sky! It's not the inky blackness you've come to know so well.

"What is wrong Y/n?" Dark asks looking at you with concern.

"Why is this just a dream?" You whisper softly. "I miss you so much, Dark. Every night it's the same torture over and over again. I," your lips quiver with each word you speak. "I just want to be with you again." You say, almost pleading for him to come back. "You said you'd come back someday, that we'd meet again, but not like this. I can't... my heart can't take this anymore."

Dark's expression never changes. Even he seems in shock of the script change. "A-are you really..." He can't put his thoughts into words at the moment. He's been living in this same moment for years now, just as you have. His dreams never changing as he escorts you to his home, the place he'd hoped to take you to all that time ago only to say the same words that breaks your heart and watch you disappear.

Dark moves his hand of his own accord, reaching out to touch your cheek feeling a warmth that's never been there before. In some way everything has changed, he can actually feel you again. "Can it truly..." Acting on instinct Dark pulls you to his chest, claiming your lips before he can even think properly.

The world around you stands still, letting you bask in the gloriousness that is Dark's kiss, a real kiss. It's the kiss you wished you'd gotten before he disappeared. Warm wet drops of rain hit your skin, startling you for a moment. When Dark releases you it occurs to you that it isn't warm rain trailing down your skin, it's Dark's tears.

Your chest tightens at the knowledge you brought this handsome, strong willed man to tears. "Dark, please, don't--don't cry." You whisper reaching out to him. Your hands brush away the tears on his lashes, looking into his dark brown eyes with a renewed feeling of completion.

"I've missed you more than you can imagine." Dark whispers capturing your wrist with his hand, his head turning to kiss the center of your palm. His brows knit together as if he's in pain.

"Dark?" You whisper finally feeling as if this is your Dark, this is the man that left you two years ago. "I missed you too." Your voice is a mere whisper on the wind, tears gathering, lining your eyes, the smile on your lips sad but so happy at the same time.

Dark kisses you again, his lips pressed hard against you, conveying all the fear he feels in this moment. You know he feels the same, if this is simply another dream it will break you both.

Chest heaving, your foreheads touch when Dark releases you. You feel the heat of his breath against your skin, the sound of air entering and exiting his lungs. It's all so real and you can't let this moment slip away from you. "I love you, I love you so much Dark."

"And I  you, Y/n. I will come for you. Do you understand?" Dark looks deep into your eyes, demanding you understand his intention. "I am coming for you." He promises.

Your heart shutters at his promise. You want him to come for you. You want to feel and be complete again. "I've been waiting for you. I'll keep waiting." You promise in return. A dull, low ringing brings your attention away from Dark. Your head snaps up as if to locate the source of the noise.

"Wait for me." Dark whispers, his touch disappearing from your arms. Looking in the exact spot he'd just been your fear comes true. This was all a dream. Crying out for Dark the world around you slowly fades to black but even in the pitch blackness you can see a small bracelet made of polished silver laying in your hand. Black engravings follow a beautiful pattern around red jewels. It looks to be just big enough to slid over your hand and you do.

"It's beautiful." Your voice echos quietly around you. Hugging your hand to your chest you let yourself wake up. You're in the office still, laying cocooned up in your nest of blanket and pillows, but wrapped around your delicate wrist is the bracelet. With a bitter smile you hug your wrist to your chest again, hope once again blossoming like a flower in your heart.

Dark is still out there looking, waiting, trying to get to you. Laying back into your mountain of pillows and blankets you look at the ceiling. You found him again. You know in your heart he'll find his way to you and when he does you'll vow with everything in you to stay with him.

In the mean time you'll move forward, push yourself to make the best and most of the life you have now. Some day, soon you hope, Dark will arrive and take you away to be with him forever. Sure, you'll miss your friends, your family, this life you've built for yourself, but giving up the chance to be with the person you love again would kill you.

Smiling you slowly get out of your nest and change your clothing, ready to take on the day with your newfound energy and happiness. You'll tell Mark everything about your dream and the bracelet, but for now you're hungry and food is calling your name. Humming a tune from your childhood you gleefully make yourself something to eat and await the arrival of your friends.

ramblings of my day in ffxiv finishing 3.4 msq ghraiogh

theres something really funny to me abt making my malera's height be on the lower - middle of the character creator height slider grioahgoerhg lol. he ended up being taller than all midlander hyur, lalafell, and miqo'te in the game (so far, not sure about highlander hyur, gotta run into more players who use the high hyur to see for comparison). but during heavensward/in ishgard, i realized that he's actually around the same height as the average elezen adult. ppl that are taller are roes, female viera, hrothgar, and other auri.

also there was this female au ra that ran by me this afternoon while i was talking to y'mhitra for the arr and hw summoner quests and she was like. only as tall as my character's stomach??? like, as tall as the twins, who are literal teenagers??? lmaooo why are auri height differences like this ghrieoahofhuweabf how does anything work with this dang species?????

also its really funny to me any time i do scholar stuff bc the job quest npcs for arr and hw are all lalafell/ ancient nymian tonberries that are just semi-immortal cursed lalafell. like. im talking to scholar npcs and they just. come up to my knees. literally. fjraiohgw. really tho alka zolka is a sweet nerdy jock, a tiny marauder. he's so cute, i /pet him when i was in the marauder's guild for a job quest lol. his ponytail haircut and glasses and love for fairies and ancient nymian stuff is so cute and endearing! the ffxiv dev team really did a good job with him so far, he just seems like cute husbando material lol.

i never did summoner bc the rotation was kinda confusing/i am dumb healer, hp low, press cure/adlo/dignity button. so i leveled scholar to 60, and totally ignored smn until now since we can summon primals now. and i really like the new smn. its really responsive (bc ffxiv pets are......iffy....the egis got fixed) and fast, i like it. sad tha bahamaut-egi summon is locked to 72, bc i can't get there on free trial lol.

urianger giraffe neck. also hot. very hot. and then he went back to frumpy goggles and robes after the wol & scions vs wod fight, im sad lmaoooooo noooo sir your hotness. your hotness is concealed once again, sealed away until. like. idk. shadowbringers or whatever when he becomes an AST, as ive seen in spoilers ;-; at least i have aymeric and other handsome ishgardian giraffes to look at until then. learning the aymeric's hotness is literally because his face is custom sculped, and no player has his face (plus i heard that estinien's face is also a custom npc face?), its really one of the funniest things ive ever read honestly lol

i wanted to /hug minfillia when she left with the warriors of darkness team ;-;

also, during the wol & scions vs wod fight, i focused on the white mage lalafall while playing as a white mage. healer on healer violence lol. whm vs whm. maybe i should've focused more on leveling marauder today to get to warrior so i can be unga bunga smooth monke brain with other war players, plus i could have done a warrior vs warrior arbert fight lol

i had finished baelsar's wall dungeon (the sprout drk tank was so. fragile. the gear was a chaos set. im not sure if its the highest set for heavensward tanks or what, since i dont focus on tank sets/am not a tank main, but uh. bruh???????? why die 2 times. the pulls werent even that big, was it just the stat squish making the mobs hit harder than before???), when i got kicked. disconnected from server. lmao. whyyyyyyyyyyyy. guess i gotta wait for a few days until sunday monday and tues when i have days off from work to redo the dungeon (not use if the game counted me completing it or not) and watch the final cutscene of heavensward and then i guess i finally redeem my complete edition code and endwalker codes for the PC version. the reason i held off was partly bc i wanted to get as much out of free trial as possible, but with the bonus item redemption time expiring in feb 2022 and the current endwalker queue situation not letting free trial players in, so we have to log in at 6 am, the deadline for finishing all of 3.x has moved up, so im rushing to stormblood/4.0+. the other reason was just bc im sentimentally attached to my character and don't want to have to remake him + redo all my hotbars, so i was going to buy the complete edition of ffxiv on the ps4, or at least the starter edition, so i can do the backup character settings and such, so i dont have to redo everything when moving to laptop. i will be fantasia-ing to a bunny boy tho. i have 2 fantasias saved up in my chocobo saddlebag and i have a bunny boy avatar made from the benchmark that i plan to use.

LASTLY. 

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!! 

I hope 2018 will be an even better year for ya’ll!

PSA BIRTH CERTIFICATE ONLINE APPLICATION | GUIDEPH.COM

PSA Birth Certificate is a critical record that most trades require. Either pursuing a position or needing to get your administration IDs, for instance, the Philippine Passport and Driver's License, you will require your Birth Certificate to demonstrate your character.
