Declutter Tumblr

The new layout it a whole mess. Thankfully Xkit can already help with a bunch of this! I'm sure it'll give more options soon.

Vanilla Tumblr:

(I have marked in red what can be removed. The tabs can be set not to stick, so you will really only see them at the top of your dash. Empty box on the left for hidden notifications and shop sparkle, i just didn't have any. I'm EU so no Live for me).

Xkit Rewritten Tumblr:

The settings I use:

Price - Saturday Night’s Alright (For Fighting)

A/N: G/N reader, this one song tumblr won’t let me upload no matter if its live or not so u get a picture of what it WOULD look like if I could. Requested by anon. ‘for your character inspired things post, maybe price? :) pls & thx’

Summary: Waiting for John at a bar doesn't end up as planned when someone can't take no for an answer. Lucky for you, John is there to back you up in the fight that ensues.

Word Count: 481

Warnings: Sexual assault (ass slapped), violence

AO3 Masterlist Ask Game

He wasn’t going to be in town for long. Already due to meet with Laswell the next day, John knew he only had a little time to spend with you. Not enough time to go home with you and rest. John knew the second he came home, he wouldn’t want to leave. An old pub, one the pair of your frequent. A couple of drinks. Your suggestion for his problem. A suggestion that he had agreed to with open arms. What the pair of you hadn’t accounted for was a rather large rugby match on that night. You had arrived far earlier than him, nursing a drink at the bar.

“What's a pretty thing like you doing alone on a night like today?” The voice was unfamiliar, it wasn’t Johns that you turned to see. A young man, low cut shirt. If he didn’t have the distinct smell of alcohol on his breath he could have even been considered attractive.

“Waiting for my husband.” You rolled your eyes and turned away from him. Not getting the hint he laughed and you could hear him mutter something to his friends that were a few metres from him.

“Well, he ain’t here now is he?” A loud slap echoed and you jumped from the sting that radiated on your ass. There was a few snickering and hollering behind you. Blood pumped in your ears and slowly you turned towards the man. The bartender, a long-term friend of yours, locked eyes on you and without missing a beat put a chipped glass on the bar near you.

“Oh, if you wanted to play rough, why didn’t you say so?” Your hand made contact with the glass and smashed it into the side of his head. The man collapsed to the ground without a beat and his friends looked at you wide with fury. One stepped towards you, fist balled and really to go. Yet he was stopped by a hand that snatched his wrist.

“Five against one, that's hardly fair.” A flutter in your stomach formed at John's voice. He had seen the entire thing. His fist collided with the man much to his surprise. The man fell onto the floor from the impact, pushing stools over in the process. John ducked under a fist and behind one of them. He stepped on the back of the man's calf and pushed him to the floor.

Caught up in John's actions you nearly got hit by the pool cue that one of them had managed to grab. You managed to kick him back, foot square in his chest. You soon found your back pressed against Johnas you looked at the men recover but still of fire. “Wasn’t the night I had planned on but I can’t complain.”

“Just like old times John.”

“Just like how we met isn’t it?”

hi sorry if this sent twice, tumblrs fucking broken. but can u share the exact setting u changed to bring back prev tags on xkit, i cant find it

[everchased]

It's like Tumblr - Bullet Hell Addition, I stg lmfao

tbh a lot of hand-eye coordination required to venture into character tags unprotected these days.

altho i've found some success blacklisting the phrase "[SPACE]x[SPACE]reader" in xkit. for some reason i didn't have much success without the first space and it's not perfect because some girlies won't tag their work properly but i found this cuts out 75% of them. 🫡 i give this possible solution to u

This is why I wish tumblr would add certain twitter features like being able to mute accounts or silence them for a bit instead of just straight up blocking as your only option. Because I too have blogs I love like this anon because they are always real and optimistic (definitely yours being one of them) but I also think we all have blogs we love but they can be pessimistic and it’s like you don’t wanna see it, because as you’ve said, it gets exhausting after awhile. especially when you actually have reasons to be ecstatic and happy with something in fandom (like we all do right now) but you love the blog so you don’t wanna block them and just unfollowing doesn’t guarantee you won’t see it still. Chances are you will because they like to show you things of similar interests on tumblr. So being able to mute/silence would be sooo handy because then you wouldn’t lose the blog, you wouldn’t constantly have to see the negative and it start affecting your mindset, and by the time the mute/silence ends the blog hopefully have switched gears back to a more neutral/ positive mindset.

Honestly, Tumblr needs a silence blog for amount of time function. And a block a post function. There's only so much the block and blacklist can do and honestly, there are moments where we just need a breather, we don't actually want to block someone. I have blocked people before because there was one post that was annoying the fuck out of me, but all would've been solved of we had the option to stop seeing that. And a silence blog one like you explained would be very handy. It sucks that we don't have that.

hello

[theinfinitedivides]

totally obsessed with king the land and i need to rant about it somewhere and i figured this would be a fun place because i love your takes and can i start off by saying i've haven't seen someone as down bad as gu won in a really long while. to think he realized his feelings because he took a quiz a few weeks back and look at where he is now, confessing his love on a rooftop to the woman he falls in love with more and more every second.

ep 10 was honestly one of the most fulfilling romantic escape episodes i've ever seen in a show, like the locations were stunning, the chemistry was chemistrying like crazy and god the way won looks at sarang? the way he smiles so wholeheartedly? it's like she helped him rediscover what happiness and love feels like.

one thing i really loved from the earlier eps is how won always gives in and tries new things with sarang and realizes how much he enjoys it. also, the way sarang's grandma is such an important figure to both sarang and won now makes me so happy. i love how won takes all of her advice to heart and actually works on his communication.

i also absolutely loved how this week's eps focused on them just being in love and enjoying their dating era, the quality time and the constant need to touch each other and express their affection is something so precious. can't wait to see what's in store for them in the weeks to come. 🥹

i cannot tell you how honored i am to be the recipient of this little love letter to KTL bc you!!!! you get it anon!!!! i'm going to be addressing some of your points but i should warn you that it will be all over the place so i hope that doesn't confuse you once you get around to reading this sksksksk

first off, i think Won automatically gravitates towards Sa Rang's halmeoni bc in some ways she is that mother figure for him. we still haven't been told exactly what happened to his mother btw, but considering the age gap between him and his half-sister Hwa Ran you would think that after eomma "disappeared" (using that term for now) Hwa Ran would have stepped in. their relationship is so, so f*cked up, however, that she's never actually treated him as her actual sibling (as seen by her dangling the pocketwatch his mother gave him out the window/breaking it by letting it go. he still carries it around, even after all of that.) and so there is no love lost between the two of them. she has always viewed him as a competitor, someone to be wary against in her struggle for their father's company, and even though Halmeoni acts as if he is also one (for Sa Rang's hand) the way they interact says differently. (there's so much to unpack about why that is, namely the way that Gu Il Hoon treats his children and the lessons he's instilled in them, but that's not the point rn and i don't have energy to write that essay today)

so when Hwa Ran tells him not to try anything in terms of the company bc he won't be able to do anything substantial anyway, he listens, bc that fear has been bred into him. he's learned early not to expect anything akin to affection from her, learned that the only reason he's allowed to come so close is bc she knows his weaknesses (ep 3 publicity interview/panic attack anyone?) and uses them to keep him on a leash so he doesn't get in her way and he's tired. he says as much when he tells her '나 싸우고 싶지 않았어' — 'i didn't want to fight' during their convo in the lounge in ep 8 (have some slightly unrelated commentary on that scene here, although in the more recent eps after meeting Sa Rang he has begun to buck against her incessant emotional abuse). but when Halmeoni tells him to do something, he listens, bc he knows, instinctively, that whatever she's telling him is not going to sabotage his relationship with Sa Rang. she's not out to get him, and she does not loathe his entire existence—she is treating him like the grandson she does not have, and she in turn is the mother that he has been deprived of for so long.

(frankly i think the best way to describe Hwa Ran and Won's dynamic with the influence of their father coming into play is uh. 'but business is business! / and business runs in the family' from Amanda Palmer's Runs In the Family. fair warning the video is a bit all over the place and the lyrics may be triggering but i highly recommend listening to the song if you haven't already)

building off of that, i think Sa Rang is also another outlet of love for him that is making up for what he has lacked. the way she and her circle of friends, much like her halmeoni, treat him when he is around (even after a bit of a false start in the first episodes) is in contrast to his sister as well—it's implied, albeit not explicitly, that he has the tendency to attach himself to people other than her once they show him any kind of care (standing up for Sang Sik taking him with him from the internship after Sang Sik tried to help him adjust in case he got in trouble, for instance). he trusts them even if he doesn't say it, since he does not trust her, and in some ways the kind of fear he has around Hwa Ran has been rechanneled into the need to keep his eyes on Sa Rang, bc he is afraid he might lose her. and he does not want to lose her, bc he has loved someone, for once, almost as much as he has loved his mother. and so once he realizes that that is what it is he tries to tell her as much, every chance that he gets, and we get to see that in the touches and glances and the small things that he does, an opening up to her as best he knows how. i spoke more about that here, but one of the best comparisons to their relationship that i can think of (other than Mitski's Come Into the Water and KK's Aankhon Mein Teri that i have already made a post about) is this line from Lee Hae Ri's gorgeous song Maybe that she sang for the OST of Her Private Life ('어쩌면 그게 사랑 일지도 몰라 / 반복되는 일상 / 그 속에 나를 보듬어 준 네가 / 조용히 떨리는 심장이 말해 / 너를 보고 싶다고 말하래' — 'maybe it [this feeling] is love / you who've cared for me in my repetitive everyday life / my quietly trembling heart tells me to say that i miss you'), bc that is just Won telling Sa Rang in the pool in the gloriousness that is ep 10 that he missed seeing her face in so many words and God. God them!!!!! laying face down on the ground and sobbing they're too much for me

despite all of this i know something has to give in the upcoming episodes, though, and while i am not asking for heavy angst (no devastating messy breakup arc i am on my knees begging at this point) i do hope we get to explore more of that kind of dynamic between Sa Rang and Won and get a cathartic moment for him while we're at it. (if you're not going to send him to therapy to address his childhood trauma [possible panic attack trigger i see you in the ep 11 preview] then let the man cry ffs) looking forward to whatever they do as much as you are, anon <333

Idk when this was sent sowwy but it was related to andan's past w tial. tial essentially taught him sing and he used it as a coping mechanism. relearning it was like reclaiming that

What if you aren’t using extensions for tumblr

(I’m aware of the concept but don’t have the tech skills and don’t really care. I’m not here that much I guess)

then suffer I guess

[seefasters]

i really need to change my good omens tag because having it as just #go is making it unsearchable

[icedmetaltea]

Genuinely how do you tag things so fast??? Do you schedule all your posts or??

I use xkit rewritten! Absolute lifesaver for me. I use it on chrome, not sure if it's available on other browsers

You can make like lil tag bundles. Like if it's about sun, I have a sun bundle, etc.

Here's what it looks like for me when I hover over the reblog button:

If I click one of those it automatically fills in the tags

[tacticaltaxonomist]

hello, sorry to bother you but, i saw the post about the new tumblr layout and how the Xkit hel´p declutter, but how can i do that? i need to donwload the Xkit?

Hi! "Xkit Rewritten" is a browser add-on that you can get for Firefox or Chrome.

Go into your browsers add-ons list and search for "Xkit Rewritten" by the creator April Sylph. Don't get confused, there are other addons called Xkit (for example "New Xkit" ) that are old versions that aren't supported by their creators anymore. Once installed, you can find the settings to modify tumblr by clicking the add-ons icon (a purple X, usually at the top right).

If you need clarification or step-by-step instructions cause you haven't dealt with browser add-ons before or something like that, feel free to DM me and I'll help you :)
