For the music asks: 4 and 13 😊

Thank you for playing I'm sorry it took me forever to answer- its been a crazy time around these parts, but I still wanna play with my tumblfriends... 💚

A song you’d put on a playlist for a character you love

Well, I've written a couple fic with songs involved in the... but that's I guess fanon more than canon...

So a very recent fic I wrote is called Please Mister Please named after the song of the same name by Olivia Newton-John

I do think it holds for Joel, though. Yeah, it's about romantic love, but it's also about losing someone and having things you shared remind you of them, turning it sour.

A song by a performer you’ve seen live

Oh, let's see, um... my most recent concert was The Indigo Girls and one of my all-time favorite angsty songs of theirs is Ghost

Lovely tumblfriends! I'm going to take a little internet break, probably for a few days, maybe a bit longer. I'll see how it goes.

Everything's fine. I'm just trying to be less digital for a while so I can get back to writing, dive into my new WIPs, and deal with some health stuff and some brain stuff.

Feel free to tag me in things. I'll catch up when I'm back. Nothing to do with anything, but Bridge From Ashes should be ready to post next month.

See you later, creators!

💜

Hey tumblfriends – especially those I see complaining about the "I can't click on a post's header to find the links I want anymore" – do y'all know about @changes? (Check that "ICYMI" section just above this, for example.) I didn't until just recently, so I'm wondering if it's a new thing and word hasn't gotten around yet.

I totally get that part of the anger is "why tf do they keep changing everything around" in the first place, but personally I've found it a little easier to deal with if I can see it coming. Also, you get some inside info about complaints that they're listening to and forthcoming changes they're thinking about making.

🌟 New

Accounts created after May 8th, 2023 have the “For You” tab as the default dashboard tab. Other existing users’ dashboard tabs are not changed. We are also working on making dashboard tabs even more customizable, including adding the ability to choose which tab appears first.

In the Android app, you’ll now see ads in the image lightbox from time to time.

When you’re using Tumblr in a web browser, typeahead search results will show a Live indicator if the blog is currently livestreaming.

Another thing for web users: There’s a new activity filter that allows you to include or exclude notifications about Tumblr Live.

One more web thing: The sample posts on /customize now include NPF posts so you can check how those look in your theme.

Folks who send anonymous asks will now receive a push notification when that ask is answered.

In the iOS and Android apps, we added a button to insert a read more into a post (typing :readmore: + hitting return still works though).

Some folks will start getting access to certain badges (similar to those important internet checkmarks) based on different actions/accomplishments.

On web and Android, we’re experimenting with highlighting tags that are trending, so you might see a different color tag on a post in your dashboard. That means it’s trending on Tumblr! Here’s an example of what that looks like:

You can find this post here.

🛠 Fixed

We fixed a bug that could sometimes prevent the post editor from being closed if you opened it using the C key. This bug only happened if you were using Tumblr in a web browser.

Another web fix: Unpublished submissions no longer show a note count.

🚧 Ongoing

Nothing to report here today.

🌱 Upcoming

We are continuing to remove the option to use the legacy post editor. Next week, we’ll begin removing the option to create legacy photo posts.

👀 In case you missed it

On web, clicking the reblogged-from blog name in a reblog’s post header now takes you to that blog, not their reblog. Clicking in the empty space in the post’s header, and in the header of each reblog trail item, now takes you to that specific post in the blog view popup. This is one of a series of updates we’re making to the reblog consumption experience across all platforms to make Tumblr more consistent.

Experiencing an issue? File a Support Request and we’ll get back to you as soon as we can!

Esa alegria, esa rara personalidad sin duda cautivan.

no hace falta verlo pero la forma en que emplea las mayusculas seguidamente indican un deseo de hacer las cosas bien.

[falderaletcetera]

nominating myself from @magdaliny‘s post because yes good

rules: answer 30 questions and tag 20 blogs you would like to get to know better 

1. nicknames:  Essa, Es, star, Kes (after an old roleplay character). and my eldest sib sometimes calls me Silvester, which is the only nickname I'd ever had until about sixteen.

2. gender:  my most consistent concise thought on the subject is “[awkward] inbetween thing”, though I also like gentlething/gentlebeing. that one's maybe more aspirational.

3. star sign:  pisces, I think! no clue what it means.

4. height:  beyond surreptitiously checking myself against siblings occasionally, I haven't measured it for years. until now! 5'6" and probably a half. how are you meant to do this accurately.

5. time:  15:13 when I first started poking at this. 23:49 at finishing.

6. birthday:  march 14th

7. favourite bands:  disclaimer that I'm not a Fully Together human being and have not made efforts to expand my musical palate for years, beyond grabby-handsing at passing pretty things. with that in mind, recent consistent favourites include: REM, mumford and sons, Last Orders*, Shearwater**

* a distressingly local band who earn a place here because everywhere they perform becomes a sacred and beautiful space. possibly I'm just starved for live music.

** was introduced to this from two directions at once (thanks, btw!), I should really check out more of theirs

8. favourite solo artists:  ...Mark Growden, Amanda Palmer maaaybe, Owl City, Leonard Cohen, thedustcollector.

9. song stuck in my head:  various bits from this, I don't even know it well enough to have it properly stuck but somehow still keep internally humming parts of it?

10. last movie i watched:  unsure but possibly The Force Awakens, for the first time.

11. last show i watched:  currently comfort-watching through Star Trek DS9, because Julian and the Major are very pretty, it's not very taxing for a difficult brain and there's a certain character I need to see again before making a name decision.

12. when did i create my blog:  july 2012

13. what do i post:  awh man there's so much? pretty things, and interesting things, and things that made me feel inspired or creative in some way. useful mental health tips and tidbits. gender and sexuality stuff (still getting comfy with what I am and this is my main place for it) and cool people in cool outfits to aid in slow & eventual style experiments.

(if this just means Actually Posting: occasional photos, selfies, once in a blue moon writing/art. and general personal debris.)

14. last thing i googled:  "define premises". I wanted to make sure that was the correct spelling for premises-as-in-place, not just premises-as-in-ideas. for typed conversation, not writing.

15. do i have any other blogs:  nope!

16. do i get asks:  verrrry occasionally, and those mostly from people who knew me elsewhere first. I can be very slow to respond.

17. why i chose my url:  desperation and a vague stab at something meaningless. I'm falderal elsewhere, but just that was taken here.

18. following:  136. I refuse to unfollow once-awesome inactive blogs.

19. followers:  195 but only like ten of those are real people.

21. average hours of sleep:  10? roughly.

22. lucky number:  used to be 8. now, maybe 4, though 5 is nice too.

23. instruments:  three years of violin at ~10 left me absolutely useless, my singing range is very limited and I'm less than capable of singing in groups these days. I have a melodica (basically unused) and an ocarina (six-holes, pendant, very occasionally picked up to muddle through a few things)

24. what am i wearing:  glittery bronze bedsocks. bootleg jeans, stretchy comfy turtleneck sweater (charcoal), smart masc navy-blue coat (new acquisition, needs buttons sewn back on), the slouchy brimmed fleece hat I was wearing in an old photo. one ring, celtic knots, tarnished silver.

26. dream job:  I... actually haven't managed to maintain a job fantasy in recent years, oops. raincheck. same goes for 27. dream trip

28. favourite food:  I have a slightly shameful weak spot for generic pub curries done well, but also, recently reminded myself that rum truffles are a thing.

29. nationality:  British. English. not sure which applies.

30. favourite song right now:  Lost by Amanda Palmer & the grand theft orchestra, for serious Creative And/Or Spiritual Inklings in response to certain bits. I've planned to do an art about it and that should get it out of my head.

I don’t actually know anyone else who does these, but if anyone feels the urge I’d love to see it! tag me & have a good time-of-day etc. I’m off to bed.

Tumblfriends, does anyone have the links of today and tomorrow's games? 👀

[elshalarossa]

Really into last night’s look.

Also, hey Tumblfriends! How goes? I’m still feeling pretty pouty about the changes around here but I miss y’all.

big news tumblfriends

i just need to pass a drug screen & my background check & then I shall once more be geologizing 

[sarah-francesca]

Tumblfriends, based on some old recommendations I got from here, I watched all of The Doctor Blake Mysteries a few months ago. I even treated myself to paying to downloading Family Portrait. I was just finally able to watch Ghost Stories on BritBox. I love this series so much! I loved the romance between Lucien and Jean, but if that actor is a “sex pest,” I absolutely adore that they promoted Jean to the lead character, and made the actress a producer. What a fantastic solution! Now all I want is to watch Jean and Alice smash the patriarchy while Matthew talks with children about books. This leads me to two questions:

1. Does anyone if there are going to be any more episodes of The Blake Mysteries? I thought that I had heard that was the plan, but now it seems like maybe not?

2. If they’re not making more of these, does anyone have any recommendations for shows or movies that have a similar feel? I think I’d say my two favorite things about it are the older-than-20-something leads and the sweet found/chosen family feeling from the ensemble of characters. Vintage clothing and non-American settings are a plus. (I live in the US, which might affect availability.)

Thanks!

Hey, I want more tumblr friends so if anyone is interested in began a friendship with some freaky freak, message me :)) #tumblfriends #imalone #internetfriends #friendsfriendsfriens #imstillalone

[actuallytall]

Do any of my Tumblfriends have experience with Patreon? Either for supporting or creating? I’d love some feedback on the page I’m creating for the podcast

[roundeddown]

Hey tumblfriends, should I watch Pitch Perfect? I have kind of avoided seeing them for no specific reason, but they seem kind of fun now. Yea/nay?

[mizzlensusurrus]

hi tumblfriends,

i’ve just finished writing a snapshot of a script for a short (which is part of a larger story tbh but this moment was most vivid) and was wondering if any editor or film-focused folks would mind taking a gander at it and giving me some constructive feedback??

thank you, ya sweet angels!

Imma do it here in reblog (take that tumblr) I got all my anna gifs and I'm ready to go!

Okay so me waking up at about 6-

I decide to look and see what shenanigans I missed 😥 because my tumblfriends are all insomniacs-

Wait! Jen... agent of Chaos... has... answered... and begins with...

Oh you want a ship do you, Hazelnut?

Um... Mmaaayyybeee?

I bravely scroll...

I may have clenched... something

Still it isn't a ship I would imagine anyone see for me

Cuz...

Feeling satisfied 😈

Me tackling you!!

@writeforfandoms

Oh you want a ship do you Hazelnut? Aight. Let's do this thing.

I am going to ship you with Oberyn. I mean, apart from the fact that is sexy AF, you two would be super interesting together. You're quieter, which he doesn't mind. He's usually the center of attention, which gives you a chance to be a bit sneaky. He'd appreciate your humor and your personality.

And of course he'd make sure you're always satisfied.

Okay so anytime I decide it's time to answer in a lengthy gif play Tumblr says no... and I don't like it!! So...
