#rip themes

[a-dream-seeking-light]

Please do not get rid of the legacy editor until the new editor has been ironed out to be as bug free as possible AND when it delivers a UX that is comparable to the legacy editor. Near as I can tell the new editor is still yet far from there.

As for NPF. I get that you wanted to simplify things down from 7 types, but making all posts 1 type that is treated as text by all things ain’t it. Doing so undercuts the value of the media content that is so essential to the users of the site.

So here’s a compromise suggestion. Instead of smooshing all post into a base text type, could it not have been enough to simplify down to two types: a) text-based type and b) media-based type? This way you have a streamlined content system that leaves media unadulterated while still allowing for versatility and future-proofing for new post types AND it preserves the media content for even better backwards compatibility, especially for older themes. I’d prefer a bug where videos show up as photos than one where they show up as text.

Right now the workarounds I’m seeing to make themes compatible with both legacy and npf is a mess because all posts are being treated as the same type with makeshift solutions to try to suss out the OP’s intended “primary” post type. One buggy example was (is?) npf posts showing up as video because like 5 blocks down a text post a video block was included.

So because text and media I feel are inherently different categories, this is how I’d break them down:

text/non-media types: text, quote, chat, link, poll, contact, coding snippet, dna sequence, menu, recipe, survey, form, screenplay, 3d printable object, asks, etc.

media types: photo (incl. anim gif), photoset (incl. anim gifset), video, audio, rendered 3d object / vr object, video game / interactive environment, live feed, embedded external versions of video and audio and game, rendered smells and tastes and haptic feedback / vr spaces, ai avatars, tele-limb controls, zoom meetings, dreams, memories, etc.

you can still have mixed block types but with this you would have a choice of whether you want a post to have text primacy or media primacy.

Unfortunately I’m probably just screaming into the wind here. When none of the user feedback is heeded and npf goes forward as is, when the legacy post editor finally dies this blog will become a wraith account, a ghost of tumblr’s past, trawling through old archives to find lost gems, but unable to partake in the land of the living.

I’ve had this inevitability in mind for a long time now, even starting an equivalent npf blog @pszombie a while back anticipating this happening.

I sometimes tag stuff as ephemeral, but I guess that’s pretty redundant since in the end that applies to everything.

Hello, Tumblr. 

If you joined us before November 2022 and predominantly post on web, you will be familiar with the two post editors—the legacy editor and the “new” web editor (formerly known as the “Beta editor”).

Beginning May 15, we’ll gradually be working to remove the legacy editor as an option for creating new posts. New posts created on web will be created in the new web editor. We hope to complete this change by July 15. 

This change only affects accounts created before November 2022. Newer accounts already default to the new web editor.

This will not affect posting on the apps because we switched to this new editor on the apps about four years ago. If you use the apps, you’ve been using the new editor all this time!

This will not affect what you can include in a post, only how you get there: You can still include all the different types of media in a post, only now, you’ll do that via the new web editor’s content blocks instead of selecting a post type from the post type bar at the top of your dash. So, if you’re halfway through a text post, and you decide that what this post really needs is your pet reptile, then click on the little red image icon in the post editor, select an image, and voilà. Lizard boy steals our hearts.

If you still prefer to post on web using the legacy editor, please keep reading because the rest of this post is for you.

How can you prepare for this change?

Once we have completed this update, you won’t be able to create posts using the legacy editor. You will be able to edit posts made using the legacy editor, at least for now. 

Start using the new web editor ahead of the switch. This will help you help us troubleshoot any issues you might encounter. It’ll also mean you’ll already know the ropes before the switch is final. 

Talk to us. Send us feedback. Especially if you’re switching from legacy to the new web editor. We want to hear about your experience: Are there any specific workflows or features in legacy that you want to see in the new editor?      

If you use a theme, make sure to check whether it supports posts made using the new web editor, and update it if that’s not the case. 

For those of you trimming reblogs: @rpschtuff has created an incredibly detailed master post that gets into the nitty gritty of that practice in the new web editor.

XKitters: XKit Rewritten was explicitly designed with the new web experience in mind. This means that you will need to use XKit Rewritten when creating posts in the new web editor.

That’s all for now. Remember, you can always get in touch with us. If it’s regarding the new web editor, then Support is the place for you. If it’s about something else, @wip is your guy.

as soon as i added a very vague letterbox review for this film some guy from work texted me and it took me .5 seconds to realize he had no idea what the plot was actually about… certified ‘bruh’ moment lads

It's the 2 month anniversary of this blog! Here's all the main MTXT couples to celebrate.

What is truly fascinating about Shadowheart, is how bad she is at being Sharran.

And by that, I mean how much this girl wants to feel and enjoy nice things. How participating in spreading misery and death actually hurts her and makes her drown herself in alcohol so she can forget and go numb. She makes up the cutest excuses when helping refugees or kissing a Selunite. Oh, there will be time for penance later but now she is oddly relieved seeing this bunch of strangers celebrating the fact of being safe. Oh, she will explain that kiss in her prayers somehow.

And yet, if you ask her about Shar's teachings, it's like someone flips a switch. She will recite them, word-per-word, reverently. It sounds unsettling even -- is this real Shadowheart? Has she been hiding all along?

But then, it becomes clear: the reverence isn't hers. It's acquired. Trained. She speaks like she was taught. Hers was not to think or argue against these dogmas; hers was to serve them, and when she praises Shar, she stands in front of Mother Superior in her mind.

It can become hers -- if she is pushed into Shar's embrace, if her desperation for acceptance, for all her suffering to have a purpose is confirmed. But on her own, Shadowheart has always struggled against the shock collar, subconsciously questioning her place and needs.

I'm glad that her good ending isn't about her coming back to Selune (it's secondary, barely there), but rather about her reuniting with her family. Taking back what was taken from her. Reclaiming her name and her past. Living despite the loss instead of succumbing to it.

mfb x bnha crossover part 3/3

the dark nebula as the league of villains

they just hang out in their abandoned coffee shop and talk about overthrowing hero society. or at least, most of them do, because ryuga is usually training somewhere and tsubasa is plotting subterfuge.

Call me crazy for reading so much into a show like House MD but I think the main theme of House is that despite doing everything perfectly and being a good person, shit happens.

Sickness and pain will be inflicted on you and your loved ones and there's nothing you can do about it, but to persevere, to fight for your life, to keep living despite it all - to love is a part of the human condition; our capability of love is what makes life worth living, despite all the pain that you will inevitably experience.

This show exemplifies the pain of living and the needs and desires of human beings to keep going despite it all

And idk... There's something beautiful about how a show with so many stupid whimsical dumb scenes can impart something so profound in my stupid little brain

honestly obsessed with this quote from the cool down thing from ep 1 of downfall from taliesin: "honestly, this is just caduceus' wildmother. this is literally just a version of caduceus going, "perhaps i wasn't clear. i'm hungry all the time, and i'm violent - hi, im nature. nice to meet you."" like, the idea that nature/the wildmother is not only beautiful and warm and holding (as depicted often with the wildmother and caduceus, she's often described as holding him in commune like a mother holds a child) but also the wild sea (for fjord) and also something that is always hungry. like the wolf that asha is, even when she's in the shape of an elf woman. and also like, i wonder if there's a connection there to caduceus being so thin (unhealthily thin, as described when he's first introduced. something like how uncared for nature gets swallowed up by vines, or dies without water. kind of like the savalirwood and the grove and and)

also inchresting to me that taliesin says this is a version of caduceus. like what do u mean by that. a version of what he worships? im guessing something like that. but also a person he’d be if he wasn’t treated with kindness? like how exandria is being ravaged and burned and destroyed, the air choked with smoke and ash, by the calamity? like hungry feral wolves?

and i am also thinking abt how the first conversation tmn ever have with cad they ask him if he’d be willing to kill people because he’s soft and among nature and standing in a garden making them tea, and he replies of course, have you seen nature? violence is extremely natural. (and thats not framed as something good or bad, its just true.) like word im hungry all the time and im violent! lets fucking gooooo!!!!!

Reno, Nevada's Adventure Inn (pictured in 2007 and 2024) closed in 2008 and was demolished in 2012. They offered themed rooms, suites and super-suites that included personal tubs, pools, fireplaces and plush heart-shaped or round beds. Pictured are two of the most popular: the bridal and honeymoon suites.

Absolutely dying at the realisation that, not only Kabru died multiple times before canon events and few times more simply while trying to meet Laios. He also was willing to put his head on the line for the Laios' party to reach it's goals at least twice.

This kid cannot be bothered to try to stay alive. His solution to any problem that can't be solved with charisma is to try to die.

So much for "Haha he wanna kill Laios for being annoying about eating monsters" gag. The only person Kabru is killing eagerly is himself.

Gear 5 Luffy just does something to my brain that I cannot explain he’s just so ??? Pretty? Happy? Silly? Perfect? Idk but I ADORE him and this character design is and always will be everything to me.

New farmer (for 1.6 update reasons).

His name is Death and he's really death. He's pretty quiet and just wants to live in peace with his chickens. Tries to interact with the town as little as possible but is really curious about them and how they live and is super satisfied to simply watch them - but as the new person it seems no one wants to let that happen.

original thief series basso & garrett :)

ngl, it's about quality over quantity for me. an npc can have a total of three minutes of screen time, but if they have a cool name, they can live rent free in my head and I'll spend several hours trying to decipher drawable features from a blurry screenshot of pixels

there is a vague hint of a story here, and that's because every time I try to play thi4f, I get incredibly frustrated with how Not Fun the game play is. like, is the story good? well. but it has a PLAGUE. that should've given it instant 'I'll replay this once a year' status in my heart, but the game play sucks so bad that I've never finished it. I can't believe Not Fun gameplay beat out my obsession with narrative plagues.

anyway, the idea is basically if the original era had a game with a plague centric narrative and some other stuff I liked out of thi4f thrown into a narrative blender, with a heavy dash of horror thrown in because some parts of the thief games were scarier to me than entire dedicated horror genre games.

ngl More than anything I'm just shocked tumblr's actually able to handle the sheer size of this bad boy, though to be fair, I did crop out a fair bit of negative space lol

Anyway, here's the Samhain piece of Vlad and Plasmius I've been talking about.

This is a picture of Plasmius' first physical manifestation while Vlad was in the hospital with the Ecto-acne, occurring about a week or so before his release. The panic caused by his doctor attacking him was what ultimately caused Plasmius to take form to protect him.

I hope you like it, 'cause it took literal years off my lifespan lol
