#tumblr mobile editor is terrible.....

[yokohungry]

Did a IS2 run with 4* (+Honeyberry since I completely forgot about Chestnut 🙃...). Surprised it only took two attempts to beat it.

Felt like sheer luck considering I was on 1hp on floor 2 and had both stages with the Lancers. Boring ramble tips/notes under cut.

None of my ops are max leveled. All are skill7 and most of them have one M3. Cuora is highest in this run.

Phantom broke both of the barriers. Kind of expected that, so I was making sure to take lots of LP items. Bonus +10 LP relic helped a lot. The barriers breaking isn't actually terrible. Idk why it took me so long to realize that its only 6(?) leak, so concentrating on middle Phantom is priority.

Ambriel is still a standout of the 4*snipers. Mine (E2Lvl40+Lvl1mod) can 3-4(i think?) shot the Lancers. Was great in the stage that has the guys who line up on the left side. She prioritizes the Sentinel, then the Lancers- can kill (most of) them before getting to a ground unit. Bonus stuns! Pinball hell loves stuns!

Jaye is still one of my favorites. Outside of being able to solo early bosses, silencing the exploding spiders is a skill I forget about. Also is a medic. He managed to kill most of the trap-circle stage.

Filling up your roster feels slightly more important than promoting. It really screwed me up the first try and almost did me in this second time. Safe house choices are easier, aways aways health!

I probably should have taken a different Squad type? Used "Research Squad" since its my auto go to one, but I needed much less hope than I normally do! Even ended up with the -2 hope to recruit 4* relic. But maybe squad size would have messed me up? 🤷‍♀️ "Gathering Squad" might be a better choice? Hmm.

Lol, I didn't take a single guard? The 4* guards are just..... hmmm...... I don't think they're very good here. Specialist is better to take.

Fun, but so much stress. Will try again when I level Chestnut.

hello!! this isn't a request but rather a question - do you have any tips on making layouts like you do (not in the literal sense, but when it comes to making layouts in general ,,)? i usually struggle to make the coloring look good/fit the theme, and i can't seem to find any good pngs to use ,,,

you're not obligated to answer this, by the way!! and thank you in advance!!

Generally, I'd say to collect a bunch of resources you can use, like PNGs, laces, colouring PSDs, etc. You can find a bunch by browsing related tags here on Tumblr ( ie. [aesthetic] png, rentry png, [colour] png, etc. ) or on Pinterest by searching similar things and things like [aesthetic] frame, [colour] frame, rentry frame, rentry resources, etc etc. You can also look on sites that have a bunch of free use PNGs, vectors, etc ( though I'd highly recommend having an ADblocker and popup blocker ). I have a large collection of random things I use and it helps a lot!

I don't have many tips for making layouts since I honestly just mess around a lot until I get something I like, so I'd say just play around with placement and combining things until you get something you think looks nice! Trust the process and just have fun with it, if something doesn't work out, that's fine too! The important part is just having fun with what you're doing, it's a hobby, not a job you're forced to do.

As far as colouring goes, it's just something you learn as you go, I think. I'm still not terribly good at making colouring PSDs and I've been editing for over a year now. You can always search DeviantArt or Tumblr for colouring PSDs by searching things like 'free psd' or something.

Some sites you may find helpful: da-lace : has TONS of laces, you can navigate via the shapes at the top or by category on mobile I believe. vecteezy : tons of free to use downloadable PNGs, vectors, etc. pngtree : ^ same as above, I'd recommend an adblocker / popup blocker. gif editor : does cool gif effects remove gif bgs : what it says. gif effects : can do fun stuff with it but it adds a background.

More specific sites: barrachiverio : custom error message PNGs. gradient maps : what it says.

I hope this helps you out a bit, happy editing!

Hiii welcome to The Thing I’ve Been Working On For Far Too Long !!!! This is an edited map of my WoF Headworld!! This map fallows my personal lore / story for what happens post-books! There are far more ideas I have regarding new structures, how the land changes, etc. , but this was just generally for labeling major locations within each territory! My hope was to wrap this up before the Felid Guide drops so I can compare my map to the canon reveal of locations but I didn’t quite get there and there are still a lot of loose ends. Unfortunately I don’t have much time to work on this anymore and will probably chip away at it privately in pieces , but for now I wanted to share this bit publicly!

The info for the labels on the map are all written out below, but I have primarily complied information in a Google Doc for easier viewing and navigation!

Link to the Google Doc !

Under construction !! Im so sorry I’m stuck on mobile and Tumblrs post editor on mobile is actual shit. the formatting is terrible I’m going bonkers in here. Also it’s stuck sideways for some reason like girl pleaseee turn the other way!!! I will rb this again once I’m able to format it properly.

[cyle]

I'm sure it's been asked/suggested before as a feature, so I'm just here to ask about the logistics of implementing a text-align:center option on posts. Inspired by: I saw a post that used spaces to center a message and clearly must have worked on their personal setup but on my mobile device it was hovering menacingly ¾ of the way to the right.

it has been suggested before (internally and from y'all on tumblr), and it wouldn't be terribly difficult to do, but it is a little more complex than you'd think. we'd have to update the NPF spec with some kind of text alignment attribute for text blocks. that's the easy part.

the hard part is updating the native post editors across iOS, Android, and the website, and then updating the post rendering pipeline across all platforms, as well as our super legacy old places. doing that takes careful planning and syncing up releases.

it's certainly possible to do, but in our long, long list of things to do, working on making text center-able is not very high up of a priority.

// I don't think the new Tumblr Dashboard layout is that bad. Maybe I've just gotten used to it. Or maybe I'm just slowly going insane, as is par for the course with this website. It's not good by any stretch, But it's not as terrible as it could have been. You have access to all your major links between accounts, the different tabs for messages, inbox, etc, plus space on the side for prompts from addons like XKit or Mass Tag Editor.

// Don't get me wrong, it's still not exactly optimal or efficient. I'm not a web designer but the two giant spaces on the side feel like a very weird choice. Maybe it's meant to draw your attention to the center of the screen where the posts and links are, but even still, it just feels like a shitty attempt at emulating the mobile format. Or X. Because it definitely does follow X's layout to an eerie degree.

// But still, it could be a lot worse. And I think that's a fact that is all too easy to forget on a site like Tumblr.hell.

I love that the itch.io IF game community has grown immensely and has created mobile templates to make development easier. HOWEVER, as a mobile UX designer, I hate the mobile design of almost every single game I've played because the user experience is terrible. Interactive elements are generally too small and difficult to target with a touch screen, features are arranged non-intuitively, icons are not explained in a user friendly way, font sizes are too small, etc etc. So many of the choices I see are artistic ones and have been made for aesthetic purposes. I hate to be the one to rain on a parade, especially because I love the games I've played, but sometimes the experience makes it so difficult to enjoy the story being told. Since I'm not a beta tester, it feels like it's not my place to bring this up to devs since I feel that it is unsolicited criticism. Tl;Dr: IF games are amazing. Please find someone who designs UX for mobile apps/games to make the experience even better. Thanks for letting me confess in your ask box, gl with your writing!

Thank you for confessing Anon,

Since you are someone who designs mobile UX, it's def normal to be more sensitive when it comes to play mobile version of IF. I am sure editors who read IF must cringe a lot reading our unedited stuff, or UI designers for desktop must cry about how our page looks.

Accessibility is tricky. It requires knowledge about what could need accessibility (colours, font, placement of things, etc...) and about how to implement it (code). Having the knowledge of one still need the knowledge of the second for it to work. I think the strive for more accessibility is quite recent in the IF (Tumblr) space, especially with Twine games. With more code/information being shared, though templates and tutorials, it's been a bit easier to think of this and have more people implement it. Still, it involves a lot of learning (on top of learning the IF program), which for a lot of hobbyist creators is not always available, or funds if you want to go the hire a designer route, which same. I think believe, while it could be better, we are slowly getting there.

I guess there is still a collaboration route, but that requires time/communication/willingness to share projects...

And honestly, there isn't as much useful information out there to create good UI, especially mobile version, that would work with IF programs. And, as much as I like to splash around in the puddle (it makes sense in French), I really wish there were more tutorials for mobile creation. Every system/format has their own tweaks, which makes some things incompatible or needing more specific knowledge.

For example: Twine/SugarCube has a built-in UI, which includes a decent-ish mobile UX, but if you want to change things, you need to learn to work around the built-in CSS; a lot of which is not compatible with Twine/Harlowe. So if you find code for Harlowe, it probably won't work for SugarCube.

Even with the templates, you need to know how it works to be able to edit it.

Though... It does seem you would be open to help us creators get better and help readers have nicer experience overall. I guess here are some ways you could do that to avoid ruffling feathers (or rain on the parade) :P

Participating in beta

Reaching out to creators and see if they want pointers (i.e. not just a list of what is wrong, but maybe solutions?)

Creating UX templates that is mobile compatible*

Creating tutorials focusing on UX and what to keep in mind for mobile viewing (like a do/don't do)*

*would probably need to make sure those are compatible with IF programs. but damn those would so useful

Also not every IF have to be mobile compatible. TTTT def can't.

[sigmaleph]

decided to give the tumblr app a second chance since i'm paying for ad-free now (and the reason i switched from using the app to using a mobile browser for phone-tumbling was that tumblr ads were getting especially obnoxious and mobile firefox lets me use adblock)

observations so far:

1) their colour palette options don't include cybernetic :( goth rave is almost as good but i miss my fave.

2) i got asked to explicitly show a content labeled post? what the shit. why do i even have the setting on 'show' instead of 'blur' if you're going to ask me anyway. i hope that was just the first time and they are going to cut it out now

3) app is worse for deep dives into my dashboard. web (and mobile browser) lets me use pagination rather than infinite dashboard, and pagination has like. urls. if the browser reloads i still have the specific url i was looking at and so i am within twenty posts of where i was. if the app reloads it's goodbye forever to my place in my dash

4) app post editor is less buggy. this is mostly bc the mobile browser post editor is completely terrible despite fucking text entry being a thoroughly solved problem. very easy to do better than 'not that'.

5) notifications for polls ending are nice. don't know why they aren't integrated into the normal activity view though

6) slightly annoyed by how expanding posts work in the app but eh not a big deal. still baffled that everyone thinks 'collapse the middle but show the end' would be terrible and not the obviously correct way to implement it btw.

7) given that we have filters for activity view such that i can exclude likes and reblogs without comment, would be nice if this also applied to push notifications. i would prefer to have a slightly higher threshold of noteworthiness before being notified

If the mobile app is being shit, I would recommend using tumblr . com in your mobile browser; way better functionality, and adblock extensions work if you're using firefox mobile! I've been doing it for months and I've never had a single glitch or issue.

Oooh thanks for the tip! I do use the mobile site for some things (largely queue management, it’s got the best controls of all for that by a mile) but maybe I should try it out more. Kinda hate how the tags work there cause the editing tag thing like… yeah okay I wanted that too but the way it was implemented really sucks. The app version I have doesn’t have it (I never update shit lmao) so it ends up being more convenient. But I could always format the post on mobile site, draft it, then tag in the app 🤔

In truth I usually answer asks on desktop, which is also where I’d make any post that isn’t just short and simple text, but my computer was in the shop when I answered the last one, so I was bereft of one of the slightly less crappy ways to deal with modern tumblr and it’s new terrible, unforgivable, zero-redeeming-qualities post editor 😔

[sheliesshattered]

while trying to edit posts in my drafts and add them to my queue, I am somehow getting three different versions of the post editor -- 1. the legacy editor with no option to change it to the beta editor (fine), 2. the legacy editor with an option to change to the beta editor (good), 3. just the beta editor with no way to change back to the legacy editor (awful, terrible, no good, cursed).

by opening up three different posts into the editing frame and then closing them without changes, I have managed to confirm that the same post will always result in the same editor option. but a post made ~20 minutes ago (from someone not me) isn’t the one defaulting to the only-beta-editor mode. oh no, that one gives me option #1, legacy-editor-with-no-switch. so it’s definitely not tied to the newness of the post. there’s no pattern whatsoever that I can see as yet.

why does this matter to me? well besides the awful bubblegum look of the beta editor, scheduling a post has changed from a field I can type freely in, to a collection of calendar clicks and drop-downs to pick the date and time I want to schedule the post for. why does that matter? well those of you who follow me know that I schedule 10 seasonally-appropriate posts every single day, with an extra 10 or so on the night of every full moon. solstices and equinoxes get 48 scheduled posts, and big holidays may have 100 or more scheduled posts relevant to that holiday.

I like scheduling posts. I have a whole system of keeping track of what needs to be scheduled next. I schedule a space post for midnight every single night of the year, so every time I see a space post I want to reblog, if there’s room in my queue I go ahead and schedule it for the next day out on my schedule. as of today, February 13, the next midnight space post I’ll schedule will be for July 13. I schedule a lot and I like doing it. I wouldn’t bother with it if I didn’t. I like seeing the seasonally-appropriate posts on my dash, it helps me keep track of the passage of time, which is a huge help for my mental health.

the beta editor doesn’t make that impossible, but it does make it significantly more fiddly and annoying. I don’t like anything about the beta editor, I would rather stay with the legacy editor forever -- if I wanted to use the Tumblr mobile app I’d just use the Tumblr mobile app, but I use the browser site for a reason.

there’s no conceivable reason why Tumblr should be giving me three separate versions of the editor. just stick with option #2, where I as the end-user have the option to choose which editor I want. stop trying to bully me into your bubblegum nightmare @staff

[acidcorrodes]

Okay, I actually have a serious question. I'm working on making a new blog for Dmitry since i think the lack of updated aesthetics here might in fact be keeping people from interacting. There's also the fact that I've been focusing on other things rather than actively seeking out interactions like I intend to do, but that's not the point.

Anyway, as I work on the new blog setup and especially the aesthetics and graphics of it, I was wondering a few things concerning accessibility in particular.

I'd greatly appreciate input on this, as disability inclusion is very important to me.

Font options

Are tumblr's default font options for text posts accessible to low-vision users and users who rely on screen readers? i'm particularly thinking of the small font option and the colored text options, as well as the chat font:

This is a chat font sample.

I am aware that fancy unicode symbol "text" doesn't parse well with screen-readers and, from my own experience, can be difficult to read. I'm strictly referring to whatever text formatting can be done using Tumblr's built-in text editor and regular keyboard usage. I often write from my phone, so I'm aware of some readability issues with some formatting options people use (like extra spacing and indents), both in text posts and in outlinks such as carrd documents and the like.

Images

When it comes to graphics like on pinned posts and promo posts, or the header graphics people use in replies: is this a problem for screen readers? Additionally, for icon and gif usage in replies, how should alt-text address these?

Information Pages and Outlinks

I'll be real, most carrd pages and google docs I've seen are terrible in terms of accessibility. I flat-out won't write with people whose pages I can't read for this reason — if it won't open on my phone or it's micro-sized on my huge laptop screen, I won't bother. I'm very partial to Tumblr's own custom theme options, which allow pages to be added: it doesn't rely on third parties, you can format with HTML tags, it's always there, and it's neat and easy to link to. I intend to write my information pages on the custom theme most likely, but I'm wondering if there's been issues with opening those links. For example, would it be better to have a mobile version of the links where the information is on separate posts that can be navigated to? I don't know, just brainstorming here a little.

Bottom Line

As a roleplayer, how can I make my content more accessible for users —particularly visually impaired, but anyone's welcome to chip in— and what are common problems you've spotted in this regard?

[glitteringstardust]

3, 4, 5, 18, and 30 from the ask game?

3. what are your favorite stims to include in stimboards? i love to include cake/cookie decorating gifs, glittery things (especially glittery liquids like this or this), crystals, and nature-related stims!

4. what’s your favorite unpopular stim (that you’d really like to see more gifs of 👀)?

hmm i honestly have not really thought about this! i feel like there's such a wide variety of stim content out there nowadays. OH but i guess one thing i can think of is that in one board i made i used this flipbook gif. it's so stimmy and fun to watch but it's like, the only flipbook gif i've ever seen? so, it'd be nice to see more like that.

5. what’s your least favorite stim to include in a board?

off the top of my head, i've never liked reversed gifs or frozen paint. but especially the former because something about them is just strangely unsettling to me. like seeing a cupcake get undecorated or a coloring page get uncolored? no thanks. i'd try to include them, or frozen paint, if asked but they're the opposite of stimmy to me.

18. describe your general process for making stimboards.

oh man i feel like i suck at explaining things but let's see... so, i make all of my boards on my PC--i know some people do it on mobile, but desktop is what's always worked best for me. and when i get to working on a request or an idea that i have in mind, the first thing i do is think about the aesthetic and types of stims that i think might fit. when it's a fictional character (particularly if it's a character i'm really familiar with) i like to try and include aspects of their character in it if i can, for example when i made this malleus draconia board i have the ice cream, the gargoyle, and the tamagotchi in there because those are things malleus himself really likes! i'll have a list on my computer of ideas for what i think i may wanna include, though sometimes i'll also search up boards other people have made to get inspiration, especially if i have a lot of ideas that i'm having trouble narrowing down or if i don't really know the character.

and then as i'm finding gifs i think i might wanna use, i save all the posts with them into my drafts so that i'll be able to link the sources later, and then save the ones i like best into a computer folder and if i've ended up with too many gifs (which is often, because i'm indecisive), i play around with them in the post editor and just swap them out until i'm able to decide which gifs i like the best. then i move them around and adjust the composition of the board until i'm happy with how it looks. i do also make some of the gifs myself sometimes if i've looked on here and can't find something i really want to include, like the gargoyle gif from the malleus stimboard i linked. oh, and i also make sure they're all sized properly and crop some of them if need be, because i personally don't like when the rows in stimboards are uneven sizes! like if some of the gifs i wanna use have long rectangular dimensions i'll need to go into ezgif and crop them to be squares, so that the gifs around them will all stay square and match with everything else. sometimes they still show up uneven on my desktop theme for some reason, but if a board looks right in the editor then i know it'll look right on mobile/on the dashboard. i hope this all makes sense and isn't a terrible explanation lol, feel free to ask if you want more specific details or anything.

30. what’s your favorite method of finding stim gifs?

hmm i honestly just search either my own blog or the tags on tumblr for gifs to use! i try to search for specific terms and then if i'm using tumblr search add "stim" to the end of it. like if i'm looking for gifs of pink slime i'll go on my own blog and search for "pink slime" and look through the posts for a bit, or if i'm using tumblr's search i'll type in "pink slime stim" and scroll through.

(for this ask game)

[blahandwhatever]

So I got offered one of the jobs I did assessments for (God I wish every job did assessments, because those are the ones I most often actually get). I don’t think it’s a lot of work, but it’s better than nothing. Ended up spending far longer amounts of time with printers than anticipated - at the library printing my contract and stuff to sign, because my printer hasn’t been printing right for a while, and at home scanning, where I had to set up my printer/scanner software from scratch for the first time since my hard drive died, connect the printer to my mobile hotspot, and deal with malfunctions.

May do an interview for another job next week, though it pays less than I’d like and may have a rigid schedule, so it might not be worth it - but it depends on my level of desperation. I’ll see if I hear back from anyone else.

I’ve lost my internet service, mostly because it’s bundled with TV in a pricey package I haven’t been able to keep up with (or even change to a cheaper package because they don’t allow you to change it if you have a past due balance?!). I’ve actually been perpetually one payment behind since last year, which I unfortunately didn’t catch up on even when I had money. One payment behind doesn’t affect service, but two does. So I’m relying on mobile hotspot now, which there’s generally a limited allowance for, but apparently there are workarounds like using a VPN, so I’m trying that. Worst-case scenario, I get throttled speeds and maybe go to the library sometimes if necessary.

Still hating the Tumblr editor situation, but for now I just want to keep going and have changed the theme to one where de facto text posts don’t look as jarringly different from the old photo posts. Still hoping for a better solution in the future.

The baby birds have hatched, heard but not yet seen, buried somewhere in a dark hole in a nest that’s too high to see without standing on a chair and I don’t want to disturb too much. Between the lack of visibility and having recently learned about the brutality of sparrows, I’m not sure I feel that excited anymore, but it’s still a little something.

I keep sleeping a lot and thinking a lot about my parents. My father came home last weekend, which I honestly wasn’t sure if he would - he was in such a weird, ‘this might be the last time I see you’ sort of state last time I saw him, I thought he might kill himself. I didn’t exactly want that, but there would undeniably be some resolution and relief when it comes to things with my mother. He noticed she’d been watching YouTube videos on narcissists and told her she was the most narcissistic person he’d ever known. She of course felt terrible. I imagined the nightmares that might lie ahead. Imagined different ways to try and get through to my father. Wanted to get so involved, and wanted to stay the hell away so much. I would feel so much more comfortable being frank with my father with a therapist present, because otherwise, I can just imagine the exhausting mess of invalidation and manipulation and shaming and bullshit that things might devolve into. I don’t know what’s going to happen. I increasingly feel I can’t act normal - or what has been established as normal thus far - with my father anymore. And I’m not sure I’ll be able to be fully happy until I know the situation has resolved.

[go-learn-esperanto]

For friends who don't know what Xkit is: It's an extension that makes your Tumblr experience 100x times better. You can toggle so many things off and on it's a blessing. From blocking posts from appearing ever again, to letting make you bundles of tags you can put on very easily later, to letting have a massive tag editor in a very practical place, to making sure you don't ever see Tumblr Live for the rest of your life (!!!) Xkit (Rewritten) makes your life so easy on Web you put it on and will miss it terribly if it isn't on. It's genuinely fantastic and I highly recommend it.

To use it on mobile you have to use Firefox Nightly (which is like the Firefox testing app that let's you use add-ons (aka extensions) that are external (Not the like 10 add-ons that Firefox let's you use on the app version but add-ons that were made and not verified by Mozilla.)

I just learned you can technically put Xkit on Firefox mobile???

I might do this... And if it works well enough I might stop using the Tumblr app all together :P

Asks Compilation 16/6

The best thing about categories like Sburb Titles is that once you have a big enough sample size of Person/Category mappings, you can extrapolate their traits to any character you like. 

Example: I got an ask a while back asking whether I have any Titles for my own OCs, and to be totally honest I can’t stop thinking about it

Oh, that is awesome. I’m bookmarking that for reference, when I’ve finished the comic. Biology is not my strongest suit, but I do find it fascinating, and speculative biology is my jam. 

It’s a balancing act, trying to make a quirk both unique and readable. i thought about a capitalization quirk WHERE i only capitalize common programmINg keywORds, but it looks kind of funky, and I wasn’t sure how to define what keywords to include. 

@capribornio​ submitted: Part 1! Terrible memes to help you cope with what just happened.

Part 2! (Dunno why tumblr wouldn't let me submit you the two images at once, but.)

jettison to the moon drop it on those stupid pawns bye bye kids, you're gonna die now your session's dead and gone

That was made by abysswarlock! Their blog is linked below the main links in my bio.  It’s great, isn’t it? Really makes the Land come to life. 

Man, I’m really mad I missed the Club Penguin craze, because if I’d played it, I would absolutely have answered this ask with penguin designs for each of the kids. 

Classic Tumblr. When you edit you blog description in the appearance editor, it actually scrubs all the HTML you added, and replaces it with plaintext. To update your description properly, you need to do it in the theme editor. 

I fixed the blog description on desktop, but I don’t think it ever worked on mobile, since tags generally don’t work properly on the app. I think it should work if you access the blog through say, Firefox, rather than the app itself? 

So do I!!!

That’s one of my favorite anime tropes, and it’s vary Homestuck-friendly, considering how many characters are bespectacled. I’m glad that my ‘sona is continuing this proud tradition. 

Thank you!  I think a big part of it is just that Homestuck happens to deal with stuff I’m really into. I love time travel and alt-self/identity shenanigans, so I was already looking at the Paradox Clone system from every angle even before the Veil. Once that cursor targeted Nanna, a lot of things immediately clicked into place. 

I didn’t see the paired tubes coming, though. I don’t think I’ll ever forget that moment. 

Maid! That was the first class I chose for myself, because I liked the connotations around ‘organizing’. 

I’m planning on doing a bunch of Title tests over the weekend. The Official Sally Classpect will be an open question for a long time, but I am interested in how much the various tests will agree. 

We’ve already talked a bit about it on the blog, but Homestuck is a kind of meta story on a lot of levels. 

We saw it with the reader suggestions at first, but there are other things too, like Hussie’s narration interacting with WV. Is that ‘canon’, per se? Much to think about...

Happy belated birthday Carcino ‘Cancer’ Geneticist! May this year bless you with Grist, Boondollars and a successfully salvaged Sburb session!

Honestly!!! 

Hussie is very good at turning on the waterworks. It doesn’t happen much in Homestuck, but when it does, it hits hard. 

True, true. But that was just John’s opinion - now Hussie’s narration is saying she sucks!

These guys really have been great recently. It’s like Hussie has spent a while giving them improvised character traits based on reader commands, and now that their personalities are fully established, they’re actually getting full arcs with awesome moments of development. 

I honestly can’t wait to see what the Windswept Questant’s real plan is. She’s abdicated to PM, and seems to be putting a team together. Did she know WV had the Ring all along? What’s up next?
