Tumblr's searching method for posts while on your account is almost comically inconvenient.
First off, private posts/reblogs made by you don't show up no matter what you search, even if you go by tags. Even if it's recent.
This is my dang account! Why would I want it to be private to ME?
"Well just copy and paste the link of your private posts!"
I don't wanna open up Google Docs every time I do that! Even if I did use this method the whole thing would be a hassle to me personally.
Plus, as far as I can tell, in mobile, you literally CAN NOT get links from private posts. This is especially true if you have a post you didn't reblog, and wrote and made yourself, in which case the share button is nonexistent and you can't go to the OG poster, because you ARE the OG poster, and there's no share link!
It doesn't even really matter if they have tags, are public or not, because even if they do and they are, if they're too old, or buried under too many posts, it seems like they don't show up even if your post is public.
Can't remember any specific tags, but you can recall what the post is about, a sentence, or a specific word?
Too bad! It STILL won't show up if you search for it!
Aaasyuugggg! This is so awful, and I'm very mad!
I was only able to find my public post I was looking for after scrolling for literally 23 minutes! This shouldn't be a thing!
And what's up with not having some kind of filter thingie for your blog? What if I wanna find my first three posts I ever made without scrolling for ages? Why can't I do that? Huh?
What if I wanna see only the posts I'm tagged in? What if I only want to see posts that have tags? Or only posts that aren't reblogs?
If there IS a way to filter, or sort through things, I haven't found it on the mobile app!
"Just use the web version then—"
My computer is in the room where my sleeping Grandma is, do you THINK I want to take time to get it and boot-up my 7+ year potato computer?
(This is the exact reason why I never use the Spotify app on phone (honestly I don't even use it on PC anymore either), because basic things like PICKING A SONG is available on PC with zero restrictions (as long as an ad doesn't play) but you have to go through some kind of 3-minute intermission since the app plays a song you don't give a hoot about and isn't even in your playlist, before your entire playlist shuffles and shoffles around for NO APPARENT REASON!)
I hope there's some kind of convenient addon or thing I just didn't ever catch or something, because this is incredibly annoying!
"Wow! You don't seem to want to compromise at all! That's a massive you-problem! Maybe if you lowered your standards—"
No. This type of thing is over nearly every other fairly-popular app where you interact with others. So why is it such a chore for Tumblr to implement it?
I shouldn't have to be inconvenienced by something that is solved on every-other social platform!
Yes, it is a me problem that I don't want to scroll all over my blog to look for that one post, but this me problem doesn't exist on whatever other social sites I go on!

the knife’s edge of writing where this could be either very profound or the most hokey pseudo intellectual drivel ever created

Me listening to magp 8: What a fascinating spin on a Lonely statement that asks what if it was the Place that was lonely, so hungry that it desires to quite literally ea- WHAT THE FUCK WHAT THE FUCKKKKKK WHAT WHAT WHAT THE FUCKKK WHATTTTTT FUCKING WHAT WHAT COME AGAIN HUH WHAT FUCKING WH
[ID: Cartoony art of people who look comically shocked, terrified, and overwhelmed, with their eyes bugging out and their mouth open, sweating in shock and trembling. End ID]
[Plain text: Multiple variations of "What the fuck" and "come again" written in caps lock. End PT]
[Thank you to @princess-of-purple-prose and @ryutarotakedown for the id's :] I hope it's ok to merge the two!]

i’m into dumbification in a “i’ll take full control for you, you don’t even need to think. just let your thoughts melt away and focus on what i tell you to do.” and not a, “look how dumb you are, you can’t even think.” way
