Top 23 of 2023

Have you been aching to get your hot little hands on 52 weeks of data around original posts, likes, reblogs, and searches, all weighted and ranked and tied up into categories with a nice little bow on top? Well, today’s your day! It should come as no surprise that Artists on Tumblr reign supreme: from stunning traditional art, jaw-dropping digital art, fanart, sculptures, textile art—you name it, basically—this year’s list shows that Tumblr truly is the home for art and artists. Thank you, Artists on Tumblr, for enriching our dashboards day after day. 

Rounding out the top three, we have two iconic shows: Good Omens is live-action, and The Owl House is animated, but both have a heck of a love story at their core. The second season of Good Omens blessed us with not one but two ineffably exquisite ships, while the final season of The Owl House broke and then healed fans’ hearts in equal measure. Thanks, @danaterrace! Actually, come to think of it, the Good Omens finale kinda did the same in reverse. Thanks to you, too, @neil-gaiman! We can’t wait for season 3. 

Speaking of heartbreak and healing, Our Flag Means Death’s second season offered both in droves. The entire cast gave stellar performances, and fans couldn’t have been happier to see the kinds of representation the show displayed. Last year’s #1 topic, Stranger Things, may have dropped a bit, but trust us, you wouldn’t know it from the amount of meta, fanart, and fics in the tag. And did you hear about the live-action adaptations of both The Last of Us and One Piece? They were a preeeetty big deal this year, too. Check ‘em out if you haven’t yet (lol, of course you have). And we’d be remiss not to mention the hugely dedicated fans, fanartists, and fic writers devoting their time to all things Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Y’all deserve a little pizza, as a treat.

2023 was also a year for blockbuster movies, which of course hasn’t escaped anybody’s notice here on Tumblr. Barbie smashed box offices worldwide and left us reeling with every re-watch. How can one describe Greta Gerwig’s pink-filled opus? It certainly is one of the movies of all time. Meanwhile, with its incredible animation and soundtrack, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse introduced us to a whole new multiverse of Spider-People, opening the portal to a veritable flood of incredible OCs. And then, of course, we got a fresh perspective on an old classic when cinephiles introduced Martin Scorscese’s cinematic masterpiece, Goncharov (1973), to a new generation of film aficionados who resoundingly agree that it is, in fact, the greatest mafia movie ever made. We’re so glad this underrated film finally got the acclaim it has long deserved.

In the realms of gaming and tech, the long-anticipated Baldur’s Gate 3 has basically become everyone’s new favorite D&D/dating sim combination. Of course, the Pokémon franchise, games, shows, and Hatsune Miku collabs remain perennial favorites. Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter, sorry, we mean of course X, made waves across the internet. Similarly, the Reddit blackout drove Redditors to new venues, and Tumblr users welcomed the folks from r/196 with open arms—we’re huge fans of your memes, y’all, and you fit right in. Welcome, we’re glad you enjoy the chaos. Here’s a fun fact: if we included post metadata in Year in Review rankings, #polls, introduced in January of 2023, would have been the #5 topic on Tumblr this year. Phenomenal. 

And, oh right. Taylor Swift had kind of a big year, what with the albums, the epic global tour, and the movie and stuff. Fantastic work, @taylorswift, the Swifties on Tumblr thank you for everything.

This is Tumblr’s Year in Review.

Okay, so people wanted clarification on the art swap thing, so here's a quick list of "guidelines."

Welcome to the Sonic Fankid Swapmeet everyone!

I have no clue how long this thing is gonna last, but hey its a fun challenge so who cares.

1. Choose an artist to attack. It's preferred that they were part of the Showdown beforehand, as people unaware of the event might get confused. Doesn't mean you aren't allowed to, but please be weary. Spectators of the Showdown can attack their favorite participants if they'd like, however.

2. Characters drawn for these attacks should be fankid ocs. Preferably the ones used in the polls, but if the artist has other fankids, they are also fair game.

3. If you are attacked, it is expected you attack back, if only out of respect of the other artist's effort.

4. If you have attacked or been attacked previously, this doesn't prevent you from attacking other people as well. If you've got a ton of artists you want to support, send em attacks! There's no limit on attacks until the event kinda just dies off. After that point it'd be kinda weird to carry on. Unless you like drawing things for people. That's pretty cool of you.

5. Pin all associated posts with #Sonic Fankid Swapmeet and tag @sapphanimates

6. Do not reblog or tag new oc references with the swapmeet tag.

Anyways, any other questions just ask in the comments and i'll make edits to address them.

Oh, and if you are or plan on participating can you let me know? I'll make a list of everyone so it doesn't get messy. (I'm also just gonna plug a @sonic-fankid-showdown here too real quick...)

how to install dashboard unfucker (for desktop)

hi i use desktop and i use the dashboard unfucker extension by dragongirlsnout and you should too because it's awesome. i don't know much about computers so it was intimidating to set up but ended up being really easy.

but first:

what is dashboard unfucker?

dashboard unfucker is an extention that makes being on tumblr bearable again.

(ID: 2 screenshots of tumblr with urls/posts etc censored. the first is with the new layout, with labels on the left, the ad-free button, "check out these blogs," "explore all of tumblr," the radar, and no easy way to access your own blog. the second is with the extension enabled, the left hand side of the screen is empty, posts are wider, navigation icons are back at the top right, and the only thing on the right-hand side of the dash is the dashbaord unfucker and limit checker and tag replacer from xkit. end ID)

i got it for layout changes like these- the first is cramped and ugly and i feel like i'm on twitter. the second is warm and comfy and i can make my posts wider (i dont like all the empty space). (limit checker, tag replacer, and post color were done on xkit and palettes respectively, not unfucker, btw)

with the dashboard unfucker you can:

hide the following/blog subs/for you etc tabs

get rid of the changes/staff picks/etc carousel

hide recommended blogs and tags

add profile pics back to posts

hide the radar

hide the explore page

hide tumblr shop

hide user badges

highlight bots in ur activity feed

show who follows u in the activity feed

make posts wider/slimmer and move the dash posts position to the left/right

revert messages design (and make the messages box bigger)

revert activity feed to the old design

display vote counts on polls

show poll results without clicking (no more skewing polls or "see results"!!)

disable tumblr domains

add polls to reblogs

disable "post without tags?"

show ns.fw posts

and other things that i probably missed copying this from the settings!!

so how do you do it? it seems scary but it's easy actually. take my hand

(note: i did this on firefox and tested it on chrome, i'm not familiar with other browsers, also use firefox if at all possible fuck chrome)

how to install dashboard unfucker

step 1: install either tampermonkey, tampermonkey beta, greasemonkey, or violentmonkey (if you don't already have it)

note: im using tampermonkey as an example because it's what i use

step 2a: go to firefox extensions/chrome web store/your browser's equivalent

step 2b: look up "tampermonkey" and click "add to firefox/chrome/whatever" and confirm

step 2c: you're done! yayyy

step 2: click this link. look under "installation" where it says "Click on unfucker.user.js to install or update". and click that

(ID: a screenshot of the tampermonkey install page, showing dashboard unfucker v5.7.8 installation information, the source code, and the install/cancel button. end ID)

(it should open in a new tab and look like this)

step 3: click install! (when i did this it didn't look like much happened and i got scared. dont get scared take my hand)

step 4: go to www.tumblr.com and to the right of the dash it'll have the dashboard unfucker label to the right!

(ID: the default dash again, but with the dashboard unfucker title at the top right of the right-hand side of the dash. end ID)

step 5: click the little gear icon and all the options will pop up! u can fuck around with em to ur heart's content. i recommend exporting after ur done and saving it somewhere in case u have to uninstall/reinstall to troubleshoot or smth

you're done! now u can see the results of polls without clicking them and other such things

(ID: a poll i have not voted on. it has 17 votes and 23h 56m remaining. the title is "poll :)" and the answers are "answer 1" "answer 2" and "see results". there are no percentage labels, but the amount each answer has is indicated by light blue bars in each result, as they would be if i had voted. end ID) note: i'm not sure how/if this aspect of the extension is indicated for screenreaders

THIS POST IS TRANSGENDER BTW!

[aquilacalvitium]

New Introductory Post

Ayo waddup it's your friendly neighbourhood Queer, Depressed Asshole™

I'm trying to reclaim a bit of internet anonymity so I'm not going into detail.

Pronouns: They/It

Name: You can call me Aquila. I used to be Legacy, but recently changed my name to something I won't be putting here. Though it may show up in a future post or something idk.

Age: Older than I should be, not as young as I'd like to be but generally still quite young.

Notable Tags: [Aquila Thinks] for original posts, [Aquila answers] for answered asks, [Aquila rants] for when I need to blow off some steam, [Aquila's polls] for polls, [Aquila writes] for any stories (or sometimes special interest essays) I write, [Aquila's special interests] for posts about any of my special interests - past or present. [I think I'm funny] for when I make a post or addition to another post that makes me laugh or at least chuckle. [Aquila's dw thoughts] aquila thinks but specifically for Doctor Who because I have long-term DW brainrot. [Aquila reads dracula] it's a really fucking good book, what can I say?

All of these tags will be on this post so you can just tap 'em and explore 'em. Except for [Aquila rants].

Current projects: Jet is an original novel that's been in the works since around 2016/2017. It's slow going, but this story means the world to me so I WILL get it finished. Even if it takes a few years.

@poffins-n-puffs is a furry pokemon webcomic set in Unova. Pages are slow, but I hope to speed them up soon.

Side Blogs: @aquilas-designs - my art/furry blog. I'm quite active there and I think I'm a pretty good artist, all things considered. I also post all my fursuit stuff there.

@poffins-n-puffs - My furry pokemom webcomic. Pages are very slow, but I have a plan in place to speed them up 🤞

@aquilacraft - My minecraft blog. I usually post about Hermitcraft but it's also for general minecraft.

@jointhephantomtomorrow - A sideblog created for my previous special interest which I just don't have the heart to delete. May revamp it for my latest special interest, idk.

@autisticpuppethorror - A sideblog for the Welcome Home ARG because it infected my brain BADLY.

ah crabp have not drawn in a bit, trying to be more consistent so I get less skill falloff (i swear what is this, the high warlord grind? def need this to be patched) can't figure out what homestuck git to draw next (i am trying to draw all the homestuck gits, well most of em at least) and i keep coming up against a wall. (i can't think of which one to do next) so i make quicke poll (at probably too late a time for it to do anything, thus likely getting me nowhere in my stuckness. i mean i have a 8 ball specifically for this kind of thing so if push comes to shove i'll just use that) to make decisions easier and get juices flowing (parentheses)

there we go this should help me get an order and thought on things. thanks in advance to all who help out here and if you are wondering "hey what kinda art this git do?" then just checkout my art tag (or i guess homestuck tag if you want to see my descent to madness lolbk) I have been trying to do all the homestuck "main" characters with random other characters. been fun and useful in learning how to draw humanoids. that and homestuck characters are just fun to draw at times don't even need a parenthesis for that.

[gibbearish]

zayne is a bust, help me pick the next name to try out. propaganda and poll under the cut

for context all of these except cj were found on old english names websites so . thats why theyre so weird lmao

go back to cj: my bf thinks it fits me pretty well (funnily enough his overall opinion on it has flipped from when i first started using it lmao), my issue is that id still have to figure out what to make it stand for. he suggested "cool joke" and i gotta be real with yall im extremely fucking tempted. esp bc i could make my last name Dude. i could legally be Cool Joke Dude.

Erskine: felt weird at first but ive warmed up to it, esp bc when i ran it by friends they were like "what. what is that doing in my brain. what does that remind me of" and when i went "did it conjure a ferret" they were like ?!?!?!?!? YES THAT EXACTLY????? HOW DID YOU KNOW?????? anyways turns out most people are familiar enough with the word "ermine" to associate it with ferrets but not quite enough to remember the word so like. my name could literally be a spell that conjures ferrets in peoples brains without them knowing why.

Llewellyn: full disclosure that i think it sucks but like. in a hilarious way. you know how it's supposed to sound but without fail it takes a second to say out loud. you have to rev up before you can actually get into it. theres such an unnecessary amount of Ls. saying it feels like wading through knee deep water. its so funny

Ravinger: sounds like ravenger. what more is there to say

Tranter: like. i mean. cmon. "hi i'm tranter. tranny for short." / "what's tranny short for?" "cuz ive got little legs:(" LIKE?????

Horst: HORST????? H O R S T???????? i could be HORST?????? thats so funny. thats SO FUNNY. also the website said after it stopped being used as a first name, it became german slang for an unintelligent person. so like. it sounds like horse and is also german for dumbass. thats so fucking funny

Leofwine: i have no idea how this is supposed to be pronounced and neither has anyone ive showed it to, and it is /extremely/ funny watching them try to figure it out. and i could just do that all the time

Wigstan: so i figure its supposed to be pronounced wigstin (which is funny on its own bc winston overwatch) but fuckin. wig stan. wig stan???? wig stan.

Puck+Dex: gotta be honest idk how i feel abt these ones but one of my friends was p into em so figured i should include em just in case

Eoforwine: i think currently my personal favorite of these, i think its pronounced yo fur win which means the nickname would just be Yo, and i dont Like the concept of names in general so my nickname just being 'hey you' would be p nice, and the website said the name itself means "boar friend" which fucks

[angelofchaos001]

Okay so I was wondering

Should I give the protagonist an actual name in my fanfic? I read another piece of writing that did give them a name, and now I feel kinda weird about mine not having one.

If so, I had some ideas. Unless there's some widely-agreed upon name I don't know about, which, if so, please tell me.

Moissan, named after Moissanite or a false diamond. I like em a lot. Thats all.

Hecato or Moonstone, named after Hecatolite. They could use Cat as another nickname, hehe. This one's typically associated with being caring and almost motherly, which is definitely one way i view Hatchling.

And those are the ideas. Now here's the poll:

WIP Wednesday

Welp after this week, there will be one more week of Sard’ika Sessions. I’m kinda proud that after next week, I’ll have actually completed a series. A great way to start the new year. 😆 This week is session five so we’re almost done Space Buddies! Thanks for sticking with me this long. I appreciate you all. ❤️

As for an actual preview of something, I decided on two things, one is from a pending new series with Dave York (Nerdie, you never finished the old one.) One doesn’t dwell on the past and we move forward!

An email comes Monday, a member of your new department would like to meet with you, give you materials to prep before starting the job. Seems fine, legit if you will. You did check with your old manager to make sure and they assured you that this Dave York is who your contact is. You weren’t sure if you should dress casually or business like for this meeting. It was your week off, you decided to wear your favorite dark green long sleeve button down dress with black flats. A mix of business and play if need be. Hair tied up and a tight bun with your favorite bright pink lipstick, may not have been business but you liked it, that’s what mattered. York had emailed you and told you to meet you for brunch, at least you’re getting food.

The second is a second helping of Mr. York! There were a few Pedro men on the brain but Dave came out ahead and maybe, just maybe I’m finishing my first Dave York series. 😘

“No. Not right now. Just let me…Fuck.” Dave whispered to himself. Her concern and confusion were understandable, but he didn’t care. “You want to know how I really feel about you. What I really think Peach? Fine.” He placed his bloody hand on the back of her neck, pulling her in for a kiss. She didn’t react at first, but her fingers found their way into the loops of his cargo pants. It could have been the frustration at not really saying what they meant or that they had just been arguing but as their tongues danced, they crept toward the bed falling onto it and laughing at how absurd the situation was. It was then that Kiara initiated the kiss this time, grabbing Dave’s shoulders and pinning him under her. But after a few more make out sessions they both fell asleep in their clothes. Greeted by the sunlight of a new day.

I may also be marinating some more WIPs:

Frankie (haven’t decided if subby Frankie will be back or another Frankie will appear. He’s like a Pokémon - gotta catch ‘em all!)

Joel (might be Joel & Layla with them being sweet, might be a darker Joel I thought about in the QZ. My mood will determine that.)

Din (which Sard’ika ending soon, I do plan on one or two epilogues and working on one of four Din WIPs)

Santiago (haven’t written for the man but I do have bullet points and Tom slander 😆)

Dieter (Weddings 101 with Dieter shall continue! Daisy will be back and so will Oscar for more beef. In case you haven’t voted on the poll for chapter 4, click here.)

Well all, I talked a whole bunch. Dave and I have appointments to keep and to use these sheets and gasoline. ⛽️ Yes will wear a mask, you never forget THAT smell. 👃

zero context WIP tag game

If you’re tagged, make a new post and share 1-2 (a few) sentences from your most recent unposted WIP(s) with zero context – Let your followers guess!

I got tagged by @faejilly and @la-muerta and @demy85! andiamgoingtoanswerallthesetagsinasinglepostbecauseiamlazyokaybyeeeee

Many thamks!!

In celebration of the triple tag, I will do three times the no-context examples I was originally planning to do, I guess? So that means, like, six? Buckle up and prepare for an overuse of em dashes and semicolons; let's GOOOOO!!

1.

"You have been leaving protection charms in my dormitory and hoping I wouldn’t notice. Forgive me if I don’t think it beyond you to portal to Zacatecas unannounced.”

2.

Now it was Papa’s turn to grin, which was uncharacteristic of him, but a welcome change. Papa was often quiet, and even less often did something get him so excited that he’d show the same interest and enthusiasm he did when telling Alec stories—Alec couldn’t judge him for it; sometimes it was so much work to remember to use his face and not his words to tell Mama and Papa how he felt.

3.

“Alec proposed to me with a twisted-up wrapper from Taki's, you know? We'd gone out for lunch, because somehow we were able to get our schedules to match, and we were looking up at the news and we couldn't believe our eyes.”

4.

Pretty boy. Alec laughs—half disbelief and half amusement, because he is neither of those things.

Neither the humans nor Magnus had a word to describe the magical world, but that was nonetheless where he found himself when everything fell to pieces. Perhaps it was the magic that drew him there, or perhaps it was that people cast aside could always find one another in their loneliness.

Clary called it mental health. If Jace hadn’t called it that, too, Alec would still be calling it Mundane bullcrap.

No idea who to tag who probably hasn't been tagged already, but for the sake of just throwing things out there (and hoping you guys haven't been tagged in this already), let's tag @help-me-yes, @stilltoolazy, @stan-of-many, @arialerendeair, and @echo-bleu!(under no pressure ofc) aLSO OBVIOUSLY if you want to do this you can and should, tags or not!!!

It's been a while since I crowdsourced an idea for the gamergirl au, but I'm working on a fanart featuring art major gamergirl Sabine Wren's dorm room, and i have three posters on the wall behind her because there was empty space, but I'm not sure what to put on 'em!

there's three posters, so I'll choose the three highest voted categories to use. on the off chance that the number one option ends with sixty percent of the votes, i'll make that one two of the posters, and if it ends up getting to ninety percent it'll be all three.

i also intend to run a secondary set of polls for what poster options i should use, so you can throw specific poster ideas for any of the above categories in the tags or in the notes, even the categories you don't vote for!
