#it used to be in reverse chronological order

[mckitterick]

and for blogs that tag things, you can go straight to their tagged posts thusly:

username.tumblr.com/tagged/tagname

which delivers all posts from that particular blog which use that tag, in chronological order. or (as I recently learned from a Tumblr friend), you can even look through someone's tags in reverse chronological order, thusly:

username.tumblr.com/tagged/tagname/chrono

clearly Tumblr programmers intended these features to work, so why add less-useful tools on top of that?

I love how the search function on this site is absolute garbage. I can look up a post word for word and I will NEVER find it

Robstar Week Day 1: Self Reflection (Prompt: Friends to Lovers)

Howdy y'all, it's Robstar Week! After missing out last year, I knew I had to try and get some sweet sweet Robstar prompts in for this year's week, and here we are! As I've mentioned previously, a few of this week's stories are actually going to be ones I started but never finished last round. More on that later, but this particular prompt is all from this year.

The "friends to lovers" prompt was an interesting one, because what sounds like it should be straightforward becomes a bit odd with the long and winding road of "sort of together but not" that Robin and Starfire went through before finally making their relationship official. I ultimately decided that, rather than take the obvious route of setting this around the end of that road, I would explore one of the earlier turning points in which they seemed to start getting that little bit closer. In the process, I ended up doing a lot of exploration on Starfire's feelings and motivations during "Date with Destiny." That episode has a somewhat frustrating place in the fandom because of how people who take only a surface look at Starfire use it as a basis to assume she's just some crazy jealous girl (despite the fact that Robin is, ya know, completely and openly hating the date with Kitten and she has literally no reason to be jealous). But if you take the time to seriously think about Starfire's character and her experiences around this point in the series, her over-the-top reaction to Kitten becomes absolutely fascinating.

Self Reflection

Starfire stood in front of her bedroom mirror, smoothing out the little wrinkles in her dress and checking her hair to ensure it was properly brushed and styled. She was quite fortunate to have some Earth formalwear for the occasion of this “Junior Prom,” and if she were being honest with herself, she was more than a little pleased for the chance to wear it.

Now, what else did her research into the prom event say she needed? An entry ticket, which Robin had managed to procure for himself on the grounds of being a hero on a mission, so she would simply do the same. An accessory or two to complete her “look,” for which she needed to go back and scrounge a little more in her closet. And preferably a gift for her date. A dead plant for him to wear was traditional, so that could –

Starfire shook her head, her nose wrinkling a little in displeasure. “Robin is not your date,” she reminded herself aloud. She leaned over her arms on the dresser and scowled at her reflection. Why had she even thought that? The whole purpose of this venture, aside from gathering intelligence on Kitten, was to protect Robin from her depredations. Robin and Starfire were not even romantically involved.

The scowl in her reflection softened into a thoughtful frown, and she let her gaze drift to the side and tapped a finger on the dresser’s wood. Earth courting rituals were so very strange, and perhaps that was her problem. From her understanding, humans began “dating” long before they were ready to even consider marriage, and could begin and end such relationships on a whim and almost exclusively without the aid of a sanctioned matchmaker.

Except on occasions like tonight, when this gremplork’s supervillain associate was forcing Robin to join her on an official date-outing that felt uncomfortably similar to a political marriage. As a princess of Tamaran, Starfire was only too familiar with the occasional necessity of such a union, and she had long ago accepted that she may one day need to enter into one for the good of her people. But Robin was no prince nor king, and Killer Moth’s demands were excessive and inane. She was not going to let Kitten take advantage of them.

Starfire’s scowl returned, and she stared deep into the reflection of her own narrowed eyes. “So why does it feel like I am defending my own mate?” she muttered to herself.

What should have been an easy answer was more complicated than she cared to admit, and maybe that part was her own doing. She was well aware that she harbored an attraction to Robin, but she had yet to discern whether he felt the same for her. For such a dear friend, he could be most obtuse at times. Perhaps she should have tried harder to understand.

Starfire sighed and pushed away from her dresser to seek out accessories for her outfit, but her thoughts continued unabated. Until recently, she had mostly been content to consider him a close friend – her best friend, really. It was only practical, not just because she was not sure of his thoughts on the matter but because there was still a chance she would eventually be called back to Tamaran.

Perhaps this change, this new instinct niggling in the back of her mind to claim a mate and defend that claim from rivals, was nothing more than a natural result of her recent Transformation. It was the point at which Tamaraneans reached sexual maturity, after all, and she had anticipated some change in her brain chemistry to go with it. She was sure that had at least something to do with her recent agitation, but at the same time, the bashful attraction that lay behind it had been there for a while.

In all, it seemed as though everything was coming together now to force her to consider what she felt for Robin – truly consider it, not just as a nice thought in the back of her mind but as a serious question of where to go from here. But was this an appropriate time to act on her feelings?

After testing most of her admittedly small collection of jewelry against her dress and finding it ill-suited, Starfire finally settled on a pair of long white gloves instead. Robin had already left to finish his own preparations, and with the late time she would have to procure her ticket and anything else she needed quickly. She was about to head out the door when she paused by the mirror one last time, watching her own contemplative expression as she pondered the stray thought that had led to this time of self-reflection in the first place.

After several moments of consideration, she decided to bring Robin the dead flower after all. She should probably not seek his own affections outright – regardless of everything, attempting such a bold move now would only complicate the mission further – but if nothing else, the show of support might help to lessen Kitten’s ludicrous claim to him. And maybe, for now, that would be enough.

911 fic writers be normal about latino characters challenge (impossible, apparently)

[saltlickmp3]

Just curious!!! A lot of my mutuals use the algorithm and I wondered where you stood! If you used the algo i would tag you in posts i reblog with you in mind more frequently

you reblog posts w/ me in mind...................omg..............

hehe did i miss something you wanted me to see? you cant send me a link on anon still if you like :)

[ravenh37]

Yes! They really do need that. I would like to see my earlier posts but I don't want to scroll for days to get to them!

I wish Tumblr had a “reverse chronological order” function for a blog so I could see what I was about back in 2015. But only for me. The relationship between you and your teenage self should be a confessional situation

A Brief Rundown of the IRL Ithaca Saga (to the best of my memory, in probably not chronological order)

jorge (creator, odysseus) decided it'll be cool to celebrate the ithaca saga with the epic cast via a trip to ithaca, greece

surely nothing can go wrong

mico (telemachus) seemingly found out about the trip with the rest of the fandom. he proceeded to plot a trip to ithaca

the epic cast dealt with multiple broken vans and missed a ferry by one minute. they had to cancel a stream because they were too exhausted

mico made it onto a plane

ithaca got hit by a typhoon, forcing them to move another stream indoors

mico got banned from tiktok. it was reversed

mason (tireseas) asked luke (zeus) to stop the rain. luke refused

the crew hiked up to odysseus' palace. they ran into a roadblock. mason looked into the future and did not see a way around it. (they found a way around it)

the crew found a well and sang their epic songs into it. except jp (crew) who just sang happy birthday

janani (aphrodite) also sang "royal we" into the well

anna (penelope) made it onto the plane to fly out to ithaca

hermes (troy) decided to take a plane to ithaca like a normal human instead of teleporting. he got side-eyed by a woman at the airport as he slept sprawled out in a chair. this quickly became a meme

hermes arrived in ithaca to the delight of everyone except jorge. mico also appeared in his videos. mico still had not updated anything after getting on the plane

anna's connecting flight got cancelled, leaving her stranded in a fancy hotel. she struggled to find the toilet in her hotel room

mico finally updated, claiming he was stuck in munich. mason appears in the video and gives him a water bottle, proving he is lying

the fandom believes mico anyway

mico is forced to post another video revealing he had been gaslighting us basically the entire time and was just delayed in getting to ithaca, that was all

troy and talya (circe), in character, talk about tea. troy says the tea tastes like her father's approval. earle (ares) then asks for 1000 cups and breaks down crying as luke cuts the camera

jorge posts a video apologizing for mico's absence, encouraging him to fly to ithaca, new york. mico appears in the background of this video

mico posts a video saying that he's finally in ithaca, but the crew is in ithaca, new york. jorge appears in the background of this video

jp films a behind the scenes video, calling out "some random guy" who just showed up asking if anyone knows jorge. it's mico

janani sings "royal we" again, but after she says "troy was breached" troy comes out screaming in pain. mico appears in the background of this, filming the video from two points above

it's time for the ithaca saga livestream... except it gets cancelled because the connection is bad and jorge's devices are dying

TL;DR: the gods saw the epic crew in ithaca and went "do you guys think it'll be really funny if we just. recreated the odyssey"

i just feel like we’re at a point where podcasts can and should be organized by something beyond all episodes in reverse chronological order

[goatsandgangsters]

how to find literally any post on a blog in seconds (on desktop)

there are so many posts about ~tumblr is so broken, you can’t find any post on your own blog, it’s impossible, bluhrblub~

I am here to tell you otherwise! it is in fact INCREDIBLY easy to find a post on a blog if you’re on desktop/browser and you know what you’re doing:

url.tumblr.com/tagged/croissant will bring up EVERY post on the blog tagged with the specific and exact phrase #croissant. every single post, every single time. in chronological order starting with the most recent post. note: it will not find #croissants or that time you made the typo #croidnssants. for a tag with multiple words, it’s just /tagged/my-croissant and it will show you everything with the exact phrase #my croissant

url.tumblr.com/tagged/croissant/chrono will bring up EVERY post on the blog tagged with the exact phrase #croissant, but it will show them in reverse order with the oldest first 

url.tumblr.com/search/croissant isn’t as perfect at finding everything, but it’s generally loads better than the search on mobile. it will find a good array of posts that have the word croissant in them somewhere. could be in the body of the post (op captioned it “look at my croissant”) or in the tags (#man I want a croissant). it won’t necessarily find EVERYTHING like /tagged/ does, but I find it’s still more reliable than search on mobile. you can sometimes even find posts by a specific user by searching their url. also, unlike whatever random assortment tumblr mobile pulls up, it will still show them in a more logically chronological order

url.tumblr.com/day/2020/11/05 will show you every post on the blog from november 5th, 2020, in case you’re taking a break from croissants to look for destiel election memes 

url.tumblr.com/archive/ is search paradise. easily go to a particular month and see all posts as thumbnails! search by post type! search by tags but as thumbnails now

url.tumblr.com/archive/filter-by/audio will show you every audio post on your blog (you can also filter by other post types). sometimes a little imperfect if you’re looking for a video when the op embedded the video in a text post instead of posting as a video post, etc

url.tumblr.com/archive/tagged/croissant will show you EVERY post on the blog tagged with the specific and exact phrase #croissant, but it will show you them in the archive thumbnail view divided by months. very useful if you’re looking for a specific picture of a croissant that was reblogged 6 months ago and want to be able to scan for it quickly 

url.tumblr.com/archive/filter-by/audio/tagged/croissant will show you every audio post tagged with the specific phrase #croissant (you can also filter by photo or text instead, because I don’t know why you have audio posts tagged croissant) 

the tag system on desktop tumblr is GENUINELY amazing for searching within a specific blog! 

caveat: this assumes a person HAS a desktop theme (or “custom theme”) enabled. a “custom theme” is url.tumblr.com, as opposed to tumblr.com/url. I’ve heard you have to opt-into the former now, when it used to be the default, so not everyone HAS a custom theme where you can use all those neat url tricks. 

if the person doesn’t have a “custom theme” enabled, you’re beholden to the search bar. still, I’ve found the search bar on tumblr.com/url is WAY more reliable than search on mobile. for starters, it tends to bring posts up in a sensible order, instead of dredging up random posts from 2013 before anything else

if you’re on mobile, I’m sorry. godspeed and good luck finding anything. (my one tip is that if you’re able to click ON a tag rather than go through the search bar, you’ll have better luck. if your mutual has recently reblogged a post tagged #croissant, you can click #croissant and it’ll bring up everything tagged #croissant just like /tagged/croissant. but if there’s no readily available tag to click on, you have to rely on the mobile search bar and its weird bizarre whims)

Why do people keep recommending Dreamwidth as a Tumblr alternative, when Dreamwidth and Tumblr are so different?

To be flat-out honest, it's because Dreamwidth has so many things that Tumblr users say they want, even if it's also lacking a lot of features that Tumblr users have come to love:

Dreamwidth has incredibly lax content hosting rules. I'd say that it's slightly more restrictive than AO3, but only just slightly, and only because AO3's abuse team has been so overwhelmed and over-worked. Otherwise, the hosting policies are pretty similar. You want to go nuts, show nuts? You can do that on Dreamwidth.

In fact, Dreamwidth is so serious about "go nuts, show nuts", it gave up the ability to accept transactions through PayPal in 2009 to protect our ability to do that. (It's also one reason why Dreamwidth doesn't have an app: Dreamwidth will never be beholden to Apple's content rules this way.)

Dreamwidth cares about your privacy; it doesn't sell your data, and barely collects any to begin with. As far as I'm aware, it only collects what it needs to run the site. The owners have also spoken out on behalf of internet privacy many times, and are prepared to put their money where their mouth is.

No ads. Ever. Period. They mean it. Dreamwidth is entirely user funded.

Posts viewed in reverse chronological order; no algorithm, opt-in or otherwise. No algorithm at all. No "For You" or "Suggested" page. You still entirely create and curate your own experience.

The ability to make posts that only your "mutuals", or even only a specific subset of your "mutuals", can see. Want to make a post that's only open to Bonnie, Clyde, Butch, and Cassidy? You can do that! Want to make a post that's only open to Bonnie and Butch, but Clyde and Cassidy can't see shit? You can do that, too!

The owners have forsworn NFTs and the blockchain in general. Not as big a worry now as it was even a year ago, but still good to know!

We are explicitly the customers of Dreamwidth. Dreamwidth wants to make us happy, so any changes they make (and they do make changes) are made with us in mind, and after exploring as many possibilities as they can.

Dreamwidth is very transparent about their policies and changes. If you want to know why they're making a specific change, or keeping or getting rid of a feature, they will tell you. You don't have to find out ten months later that they're locked into a contract to keep it for a year (cough cough Tumblr Live cough cough).

So those are some things that Tumblr users would probably love about Dreamwidth.

Another reason Dreamwidth keeps being recommended is that a significant portion of the Age 30+ crowd spent a lot of earlier fandom years on a site known as LiveJournal. Dreamwidth may not be much like Tumblr, but it it started out as a code fork of LiveJournal, so it will be very familiar to anyone who spent any time there. Except better.

Finally, we're recommending Dreamwidth because some of the things that Tumblr users want are just... not going to happen on the web as it is now. Image hosting is the big one for this. Maybe in the future, the price of data will be much cheaper, and Dreamwidth will be able to host as much as we all want for a pittance that a fraction of the userbase will happily pay for everyone, but right now that's just not possible.

Everywhere you want to go that hosts a lot of images will either be running lots of ads, selling your data, or both.

Dreamwidth knows how much it costs to host your data, and has budgeted for that. They are hosting within their means, within our means.

Dreamwidth is the closest thing we may ever get to AO3 as a social media platform. One of the co-owners is from, and still in, fandom; she knows our values, because they are also her values. It may as well be the Blogsite Of Our Own.

King of Swords: Lilith as Belos’s Right Hand

Upright: Intellect, authority, reason, morality, truth, objectivity, discipline, integrity, strict codes, decisive, rational

Reversed: Manipulation, misuse of power, imperious, controlling, unyielding, cold, ruthless, dishonest

The King of Swords rules over the suit of the mind; one's intellect, thoughts, and beliefs as well as communication, conflict, and logic. As such, the King is someone whose authority stems from their knowledge and who rules from a place of logic and truth over emotion. The King of Swords is a rational figure who has the mental clarity to make objective decisions based on strict moral codes that they have the power to create and enforce.

Intellect and authority, though, can be so easily twisted into self-righteousness and tyranny. The reversed King is manipulative, controlling, and deeply convicted of their own moral objectivity. This can result in a fundamental dishonesty with oneself, as well as a cold detachment from appeals to their sense of sympathy.

Lilith and Belos mirror each other in many ways, both embodying the aspects of this card. They are both authority figures who uphold the Coven system as the single objective "correct" way to participate in Boiling Isles society, declaring anyone who deviates from this system amoral. They are both cunning and ambitious like any good King of Swords would be, single-mindedly pursuing their objectives using the full breadth of their knowledge of magic and social manipulation. Like Belos rationalized murdering his brother for deviating from human realm norms, Lilith rationalized cursing her sister as the only logical path forward for herself to realize her dreams of joining the Emperor's Coven. The King of Swords wields truth in the form of a double-edged blade, threatening even when sheathed. In this way, Lilith and Belos both maintain their positions of power through withheld information; Lilith in keeping the origin of Eda's curse a secret, and Belos in his concealment of the truth of history, and by claiming his actions are the will of the Titan rather than simply motivated by his own personal interests.

Deck Order:

Tumblr is so intuitive to me that I'm fascinated by people who use algorithms. I was explaining to a Grindr date why I only use Tumblr and I explained that you can opt out of the algorithm and he was like "then what do you look at?" And that question was so crazy to me. What do you mean what do I look at? I look at the people I follow in reverse chronological order. I'm pretty sure that was the default before meta properties and Twitter got algorithms.

5 More Literary Terms for Studying Prose Narratives

ANAGNORISIS: (Greek for "recognition"): A term used by Aristotle in the Poetics to describe the moment of tragic recognition in which the protagonist realizes some important fact or insight, especially a truth about himself, human nature, or his situation. Aristotle argues that the ideal moment for anagnorisis in a tragedy is the moment of peripeteia, the reversal of fortune. Critics often claim that the moment of tragic recognition is found within a single line of text, in which the tragic hero admits to his lack of insight or asserts the new truth he recognizes. This passage is often called the "line of tragic recognition."

CLOSE READING: Reading a piece of literature carefully, bit by bit, in order to analyze the significance of every individual word, image, and artistic ornament.

EPISTOLARY: Taking the form of a letter, or actually consisting of a letter written to another. For instance, several books in the New Testament written by Saint Paul are epistolary--they were originally letters written to newly founded Christian churches. Sometimes, novelists will write an epistolary novel, in which the story is unveiled as a series of letters between the characters. Some examples include C. S. Lewis's Screwtape Letters, Richardson's Pamela (1740), Fanny Burney's Evelina, Rousseau's La Nouvelle Héloïse, Hannah W. Foster's The Coquette, and John Barth's Letters.

EUCATASTROPHE ("happy or fortunate ending"): As Christopher Garbowski describes in the J.R.R. Tolkien Encyclopedia, Tolkien coined this term in his Andrew Lang Lecture entitled "On Fairy-stories." It applies to a final resolution in fantasy literature that evokes a sense of beauty, hope, and wonder in readers. Tolkien uses it as an antonym for the catastrophe that traditionally ends a tragedy.

ORGANIC UNITY: An idea common to Romantic poetry and influential up through the time of the New Critics in the twentieth century, the theory of organic unity suggests all elements of a good literary work are interdependent upon each other to create an emotional or intellectual whole. If any one part of the art is removed--whether it is a character, an action, a speech, a description, or authorial observation--the entire work diminishes in potency as a result. The idea also suggests that the growth or development of a piece of good literature--from its beginning to its end--occurs naturally according to an understandable sequence. That sequence may be chronological, logical, or otherwise step-by-step in some productive manner.

🌟 New

The first cut of settings for communities is now available. Admins of communities can change the name, tagline, avatar, header image, tags, and description. You can find a link to these settings in the sidebar for your community on desktop, or in the context menu on mobile.

The community invite popup has been given a design refresh, including a counter of how many invites you have left.

Communities now display whether they are public or private in their header.

Community admins can now promote members to moderators. Moderators can delete posts, and we’re still building out the feature, so expect to see things change in the next few weeks!

We’ve updated the blog posts API endpoint to add the options to specify a sort order and an “after” time, to complement the current option to show posts from “before” a specific time. When using “before”, and by default, posts are sorted in reverse-chronological order (“descending”). With “after” and “sort = asc”, you can sort posts from oldest to newest instead, starting at a certain time.

🛠 Fixed

Since secondary blogs cannot post to communities yet, your primary blog will now always be selected when posting to communities.

Certain activity coming from communities, such as mentions in posts and comments, and soon invitations, now count towards your unread activity total.

🚧 Ongoing

We are aware of ads auto-playing audio in the Android app, sometimes quite loudly, and are working on a fix!

🌱 Upcoming

We are working to rename Community Labels to Content Labels across our official clients (Web, iOS, and Android), as well as Community Guidelines to User Guidelines. We hope this change will prevent any potential confusion regarding the relationship between these and Tumblr Communities.

Experiencing an issue? Check for Known Issues and file a Support Request if you have something new. We’ll get back to you as soon as we can!

Hel was still a moment, registering finally what he had meant and what he had misunderstood. She brought a hand up to her mouth, closed her eyes and lowered her head as the reality that he would believe both that her child would look like this and that this is how she would choose to tell her settled in.

And then she totally lost it. She doubled over, holding her knees, whole body trembling with her laughter. "My what?" she all but cried. She could barely breathe, it was so funny.

Loki considered the nameless being flopped in her hands and gently lifted it from her hands. The 'grandchild' stared at him from its great, round eyes and Loki stared right back. Yes, he thought, perhaps there was a bit of a resemblance around the ears... were those ears? "It is not beyond custom to honor your father when naming your first born," he said, more than a little pointedly.
