WHO AM I?

WHERE DID I COME FROM?

HOW DO I CONTROL MY POWERS?

So is it the new post editor that’s responsible for the dreadful image quality I’ve been seeing lately? How so many images, when you are in the app and tap on them, show up with some of the colors in the image surrounding them (as opposed to just being black where the image ends), and that image is almost always so compressed it looks fuzzy? I gotta say, I am really hating it lately.

I’m on tumblr partly because of legacy use (here longer than a decade), but largely because I want to keep seeing art from people. Is there some way to force your posts not to compress and look awful? Some way to look at other people’s posts in larger format? Because I’m used to stuff looking bad and fuzzy when I first see it on the dash, but the whole point of clicking through/tapping the image was to see it in better quality. What is up with this?

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.

"The conversation is between my god, my destiny, and me. Why are you interrupting?" - Coke Studio Bharat | Bayo | Cyli Khare x Srushti Tawade x Komorebi

Coke Studio Bharat (formerly known as Coke Studio India) recently released an absolute banger of a song. I liked it so much that I decided to try my hand at making GIF sets.

I don’t know what to call this kind of trope but I really like it

[lifeandtimesoftrying]

as someone who’s only halfway through season 3 of game changer, I gotta say that watching tumblr freak out over the most recent episode is hilarious. Something was Done to Brennan. I have no idea what it was. Everyone’s posting pictures of the most haunted man you’ve ever seen. Sam Reich is playing 3D chess with his friend and employee’s psyche. What did he do? No idea! But everyone was in on it. What “it” was is wholly unclear. This is like seeing something tagged as “#[fandom] spoilers,” deciding to look at it anyway, and being met with a badly photoshopped image of a horse with a nerf gun, and see everyone in the tags go “nooooo!!!! How could you you are EVIL *reblogs anyway*.” By my estimation it’ll be over 2 weeks before I get to this episode. I will live in suspense until then. I am somehow wholly shielded from spoilers. This is the most I’ve seen an episode be talked about without having a clue what the episode actually is.

Chex Week Day 3 + 4: Family + AU

Here's some quick sketches/wips I made for my Hopi Allison headcanon/au! Baby Carolina is everything to me <3

(sorry if tumblr totally nerfs the quality of these)

image text under cut:

First Image

Hopi Allison + Carolina: pow wow regalia, before deployment, happy family

some white man: stay at home tech dad, here for emotional support, cold

Second Image

Allison: dyes hair with every big change, was blonde the last time Leonard saw her

Carolina: cuts and dyes hair after every defeat, especially if it makes her look less like her father

Some extra stuff: the regalia is styled after my friends regalia and photoshoots, she is Hopi, as well as the regalia my cousins wear

(literally how I named the image, couldn't think of something else)

Hi guys :') To my followers and tumblr friends, I'm really sorry if my sudden disappearance scared or upset you. It wasn't quite... planned. And today was a busy day and I needed some time to consider what I wanted to do.

Short version of the story:

My tumblr account got terminated for copyright infringement. A certain Mr. Green got me in unlucky trouble (ref 1, 2).

I won't get it back, or try to get it back. It's gone.

Needed a moment to consider 2 options: ask Mia to extend my dramatic farewell letter and stay gone, or make a new blog.

Not planning to post new writing here. I won't be using words like 'never' or 'forever' because I'm a known clown with things like this, but the intention is to no longer post fics. I will finish Tickletober on AO3 and then take a break from writing. So yes, I cancel the swiftscribbles event too, sorry!

When I opened my laptop, I could see my old blog in its final hour lmao (I found out about the loss on my phone). So that's what the snap is from on a fitting grave. It was fun while it lasted!

Long version of the story:

Losing my blog(s): My Tumblr account with main blog + sideblogs got terminated overnight, it was quite the surprise! I've either been reported or tracked by bots. The posts are a bunch of numbered URLs I can't open, but the message is clear: for including anime content, genshin impact or media from other sources (whether it's videos, screenshots, official art, gifs or even fanwork) you technically can get a strike. Upon googling the claimer I quickly found this first, and knew it was a lost cause. Although it feels shitty and unlucky, I am in no place to appeal. It's like when I used to make AMVs in the past, you never knew whether a song or even anime footage was going to give your YT account a copyright strike or even a ban, it was a gamble. I have lost YT accounts before, and now I lost the Tumblr one. With 7+ years of tickle trash content and a bunch of sideblogs. But oh well, moving on!

Starting a new blog: It was a serious consideration whether this was my ultimate chance to do what I've always said I wanted to do eventually - quit my blog. My first thought was to ask Mia to share my explanation and literal goodbye with you guys, and stick to my chaos of a Twitter account to indulge in fandom stuff. But then I thought of how happy Tumblr made me, even without the fic writing, but just.. reblogging things, getting random asks, shouting about life and of course, about tickles. I decided to make a new blog after all, but also decided the following:

The 7K+ milestone swiftscribbles event is cancelled, for which I apologize! The follower milestone, together with the motivation to write the fics, and even the asks with the requests I got, all died with my former blog.

I will see how long I can survive without posting a new fic or drabble. A loose headcanon or two might fly around sometime. And if necessary, a link to a new fic on AO3.

Tickletober? Hell yes I'll finish it, I would cringe in bed for 49 days at least if I would stop. I just won't post the fics here, but on AO3.

Reposting/reblogging my old works? Undecided at the moment but I'm tired and lazy. I don't feel too upset since most of my fics are still on AO3 at least and not completely gone.

Anyways, I'll see what happens and how long I can enjoy this nerfed version of blogging.

Surprisingly I'm not upset about losing my other blog, there were a lot of memories but it was also very cringe. I'm gonna be just as cringe here, but at least I feel cleansed.

For those who choose to follow me again, thank you, but please know that there won't be much original content coming from me, for now!:)

Ice Core Report ❄️ September 2024

September is over so let's do our monthly check in!

#1 Story: Come Get Me

While this isn't one that I'd had on my old blog, this is a story I wrote a long, long time ago. I'm glad to see it was so well received. A lot of my old writing would not be. (It wasn't very good or long). But this was one of the exceptions. I've always been quite fond of the image.

#2 Story: Monitored Activity

This was the surprise of the month I think. Maybe it's the fact that tumblr doesn't nerf a fully clothed image. Maybe you all just really enjoyed it! I hope it's the second!

#3 Story: Maid Service

This is the only story in the top 5 this month that's part of a series. I've been watching the analytics and you guys don't seem to vibe with series as much as the one-off's. Maybe that's just tumblr making it hard to navigate things, or me forgetting to add links before publication. I can't help that anything I write spins up into an entire world!!

#4 Story: Orientation

This is another oldie that wasn't on the old blog. This one absolutely had the potential to spin up into a multi-story arc. I even had 1 person DM me asking if there would be more. Sadly, I'm leaving this one as-is. At least for now. I've already got I think 6 active series running, each on generating less engagement with each iteration.

#5 Story: Let Your Hair Down

The first story of the month and probably my second favorite. I love this one and I'm very pleased to see it in the top 5. I had said on an ask that of all the stories I've written, I'd want to be the woman in this one most, and I stand by that.

Sunda Systems

I've taken a longer hiatus from Sunda than I'd originally anticipated. I am still working on it, but law school midterms are next week and I'm sure you all understand where my focus is and should remain.

Of Magics & Mesmerism

Still hammering away at this bad boy every spare second I can get. But to appease your appetites for now, here's a look at a few of the lower-level customization options for the "Entertainer" character class:

If anyone has any brainstorming ideas they think could be cool inclusions in the game, don't hesitate to reach out. I'm always looking for new ideas.

General Thoughts

My writing has slowed dramatically and I think starting this month, I'm going to move to an every-other-day schedule to more accommodate my school and work and social life. But don't worry there's still plenty to come. I love this community.
