A collection of astarion sketches/studies I did circa Fall 2021 when I first became cringe(r).

staff should let me take over tumblr. id fix the interface so instead of it looking like tiwtter the buttons would now be scattered all over the dash and you’d have to go on a scavenger hunt whenever you wanted to switch menus

[msaprildaniels]

There needs to be like a bail out button for when you click to expand a post and it's just way waay waaay longer and stupider than you're ready to deal with.

Hey tumblr

Uhm, look, really cool with the replying feature but

Yeah, I think everyone was more hoping for reaction ability? Like the ability to ❤️ a comment?

You did good! So good! But maybe

Could we have reactions next?

Thank you

If you're seeing this please repost or share it with someone who can help. I have been trying to get the attention of @staff and @support for a bit now about ads and reporting ads. See if they can make a system where you can report ads or at least have people monitor the first before being published on the platform. As you can see from above, both of these pictures being taken on to separate days months between, there have been companies who are running very ableistic ads. Ads targeted against autistic people. As someone who is nerodivergent this both concerns me and pisses me off. I don't know how to get the attention of any moderator or staff that can help with this problem I'm trying to get it to as many people as I can so that I can somehow find a way to fix this. Cuz if I see one more of these ads I might just go crazy. Well crazier than people already think I am, you know not being neurotypically. It makes me really mad cuz this website is known for being diverse but then host ads like this. Maybe I was a crazy one for thinking that a big app like this would actually be better than something like Twitter but who knows. Now if you'll excuse me I'm going to go see if the team that belongs to Tumblr gives any money to autism speaks.

@staff let me blaze other peoples posts. Sometimes they’re really stupid and I want to impose them on more people.

Like when you get a cold drink and have to press it against your friends arm.

Dear @staff

Based on your post here

Don’t touch my multiple reblogs on my feed! If I wanna follow a bunch of people who all follow each other and reblog the same stuff so it shows up 20 times on my feed that’s my choice!

Don’t touch the feed progression and make it like the other social medias. One of the best parts of this site is the damn posts are in chronological order! I don’t wanna be notified of a post 5 days ago like FB/IG, I wanna know what’s happening now!

Oh and don’t you dare start restricting character counts because this is the best sm for writers to post our stuff! Idk how they do it on Twitter without throwing grammar and fluff out the window to fit it in those threads.

Another nostalgia of this site is the way posts from a decade ago could still show up in our feed today, so don’t do any type of culling that will destroy that!

Remember @staff the people are LEAVING the other sites because of the heavy handed controlling they’ve been implementing. And people STAY here because you haven’t been as bad at that.

Ok the idea of co-creating a post is kinda interesting.

Sincerely,

Concerned Tumblrina

WHY ISNT THIS BITCH GOING AWAY

[youruncleolaf]

tumblr babygirl what does this mean

[lemongrass77777-moved]

@staff free @satorusvoid they’re completely safe for workkkkkkkk

[criticaalmiss]

Tumblr should add an ability to ask questions to yourself. Let me commit fraud for fake internet points

[nondescriptrogue]

@staff @humans please please please PLEASE stop with the auto playing Temu ad. Oh my god. Not sure who thought having an ad autoplay full volume was a good idea, but please... I don't care if I see ads in general, it's whatever, you need money, I get it. But the loud autoplay of a company that's scammy at best and predatory at worst is not a good look. And it's absolutely terrifying at 1 am when you can't sleep and forgot to mute your phone. I'm at my wits end. I've been reporting them as broken, but that seems to only make them show up more. If it keeps going, this might actually get me to log off of Tumblr mobile.

tumblr if u nuke my discopunk post because i included a spotify link i will become a fire hazard and an arson risk

[i-fucked-your-milkshake]

It is super funny that a month after we all watched thousands of Reddit refugees learn to navigate Tumblr in about .03 seconds, the official party line is that “Tumblr is hard to learn.” Like I understand that 196ers were kinda primed to just get it and that they can almost be seen as like Tumblrs Georg in the way they’re kinda outliers, but the thing about Tumblr is that there’s nothing to get. That’s what people don’t get. You show up, you get Autistic On Main, you log off, you repeat later. That’s it. That’s the site. Everything else is set dressing.

Like yeah we can repost the how to enhance your Tumblr experience posts to help but really those can also be read as “how to undo the changes @staff made that we don’t ilke.” That’s the hard part and that’s only hard because of the shite design (loving) of the site.

My wife was intimidated by Tumblr and I was just like “you come up with a weird user name and you start screaming into the abyss” and she was baffled because surely there’s something more here. But no! As she learned that’s all it is. Nothing here is hard. We’re all just fuckin nerds standing in the corner of a party and enjoying it even if it looks like we’re not. It ain’t hard.
