You'd think the point of the hip hop tag would be to showcase music, not as many boobs as can fit in the recommended posts as possible.

Tumblr, if OP has blocked me, (1) I should not be seeing the post in the first place, (1.5) failing that I should not be seeing the reblog button, or at least I should be seeing the reblog button grayed out like I can't use it, and
(2) I certainly should be able to block OP back from the post I can't reblog, without needing to either visit their blog (which I can't do because I'm blocked) or switch devices (in order to copy-paste their handle into the blocked Tumblrs list that I can only access from the desktop site)

A no notification curse is spreading across Tumblr!
It is unfortunately sporadic. And there has been no reasonable explanation for when it appears. So far it appears to happen for reblog notifications. No matter how long the reblog discussion has been happening, at times a notification will not appear. Usually meaning the victim of the no notification curse has to seek out the reblog manually.
Spread the word! Make it so the Tumblr gods see this!

I’m pretty sure that you made a post explaining why the arm is not the umbilical but I can’t find it, so, if you did make one, can you give a link to it? Sorry if you didn’t make one, I don’t have very good memory.
I'm not entirely sure which post that is but it sounds like something I'd ramble about? I have this post talking about making a 3D umbilical and this post talking about making a 3D arm with allusions to that buuut...
If that post doesn't exist then I'll make one right now!
Here, I made a diagram of terminology I use for the puppet/arm/umbilical structure. These terms aren't necessarily canon - they're just what I use.
As for umbilicals being different from mechanical arms, it's an interpretation, I think. But there's reasons why I call them different things.
So first here's this Moon dialogue.
(I think that's vanilla dialogue? The wiki confuses me sometimes. Link here if you want to see it yourself.)
We can assume from that dialogue that the wires + cord are the "umbilical." Moon's are obviously cut, but Pebbles' are not. And Moon's puppet is still attached to her mechanical arm.
(Lots more under the cut)
Umbilicals in real life resemble the wire/cord structure far more than the mechanical arm portion does. So that's another reason I refer to the wire/cord as the umbilical.
Lemme slap some stuff from my iterator headcanons doc here.
I like interpreting the puppet as a place to focus an iterator's consciousness. It acts as a sensory hub and a means to interact more finely with their surroundings. Neurons, in turn, are active memory comparable to RAM. Moon refers to Pebbles' imprints on his neurons as "a ghost left from his processing routines." They're not meant for long-term memory storage, but upper processes such as, well... thinking... cannot be done without them. So removing neurons affects an iterator’s ability to encode, recall, and process information. (Courtesy of my friend Folly, I also think they're mostly made out of fat. Kind of gross to eat.) Although Moon's umbilical is severed, she is still able to see through and control the movements of her puppet. So either she has some sort of other connection to the rest of her can, or her consciousness comes from the puppet rather than the can. The mechanical arm’s functions would be mostly structure-to-puppet function (control movements of arm and puppet, transmit the sensory information of the puppet) while the wire/cord handles more consciousness-in-puppet-to-structure function (facilitates awareness and control over superstructure and all that encompasses). So both the cord and the arm are part of the iterator-to-puppet connection, but the cord is more important. I feel like with the wire OR the arm's internals intact, the iterator can maintain perception of the puppet. When you give Moon an overseer eye, she says, “I am not much more than what you are looking at - a little creature in a box.” This can be literal, or it can imply that her perception is just limited to what she can see through her puppet in her damaged state.
In Rivulet’s campaign, the rarefaction cell could be partial compensation for a missing umbilical. Moon can move on her arm, call up image projections, reconnect to her overseers, and broadcast locally to Pebbles after getting the rarefaction cell. She refers to it as finally having her freedom back. But we don't know how many of her systems she does or does not have access to anymore.
If you eat one of Pebbles' neurons in front of him as Rivulet he says "I would appreciate if you would not eat those. My umbilical will keep me conscious, but every neuron lost is a piece of me lost as well..." We know that Pebbles keeps his wires/cord/arm connected in Saint's campaign, though, and he remains conscious despite having no visible neurons. Does the umbilical compensate for the lack of neurons as well? Maybe there are some still alive in the structure that we can’t see, and the umbilical allows him to stay connected to them.
...honestly, I think downpour makes questions about umbilicals harder to answer than if you only base off of vanilla lore. But I like working with downpour stuff, so oh well.
One last thing - the wiki page for Moon also says this under her trivia: "Looks to the Moon is still connected to the wall by her umbilical, but the damaged hardware lacks power to let her move around." Other references to umbilicals written throughout the wiki imply the arm is the umbilical as well. But! I don't know where the writers of that got that information. I don't think there's anything in the game that confirms that the umbilical and the arm are the same. If there's anything in the game that supports that, let me know~
So to summarize: I think evidence suggests the wires + cord are the umbilical because Moon refers to hers being cut. The mechanical arm could also be a part of the umbilical, or it be considered a different part that provides function in a different way. I usually refer to them separately, but that's just me, and I mostly do it for the sake of clarity. It's not confirmed canon.
There are a lot of things about Rain World lore you can run in circles around for hours, but not find any definitive conclusions for. It's part of the fun even if it drives me nuts sometimes. Come be confused with me :)

How do I get gayer?
Also for some god forsaken reason it's making me look like I'm sending this from your profile, idk if it'll look that way when I send it to you but if it does this is ram.
when you make pierogis, take sour cream and mix a spoonful of chili crisp in it (the sour cream neutralizes a lot of the spice so don't be scared of chili crisp's passion and beauty,) then use it as a dip or spoon it over the pierogis. especially good when the pierogis are pan fried and crisped nice n golden so that the cream contrast the crunchy.
also be as weird as possible. forever
#also yeah idk in my ask box some ppl have my icon???#tumblr is a functioning website#bungirl-orchiectomy#ask

Hey @staff, I know you don't care, but this is weird. It's like my friend is shadow-banned from appearing some of the time. Makes me wonder how many other interactions I can't see all the time.
If I view the replies on my reblog of a post, I can see all 3 entries.
But if I go to other reblogs down the chain...
They're gone!
But... why? And why can't I use the share button to send things to @virescent-phosphor sometimes, but it works other times?
Perfectly functional website.

not sure which is annoying me more, the Tumblr app bumping me back to the top of my dash when I dared reblog something, or the fact that speed-scrolling down to get back where I was zooms me past posts I didn't just see, sandwiched between ones I did

so uh
if anyone has a single clue what's happening or can replicate this process.
I have the following link: "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4dxnEG2OFo"
now
when I paste it into a tumbler post
it becomes the following video:
youtube
this video is v=FitZ5S0Rzr4
the one I have copy-pasted is v=N4dxnEG2OFo
here's a link
it works fine sending it in discord but I've made multiple tumbler posts - on multiple platforms, but all with my own account - all of which have converted the embed to this one
what the fuck is happening

Okay @staff the FUCK is with this new change where any post with a filtered tag or term doesn't open within the app but opens in a browser window, which means you can't ever reblog or like the post?
My filtered tags contain things that I want to be able to choose when I interact with, like 'terf' and 'transphobia', and being essentially blocked from being able to reblog or like those posts or being able to filter them so I can interact with them when I am up for it is pretty bullshit.
Like, what the fuck is this shit?
This is garbage. PUT IT BACK TO HOW IT WAS.
