◻️That's why you should've read it until the end, you know.◻️

What did it mean to read a story to its end? Although he couldn't fully understand it, Yoo Joonghyuk still chose to heed that advice

[legendary-supporter-blog]

and he would not elaborate 🤸‍♀️

[VD: An Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint comic. The audio is captioned in both English and Spanish. First, Han Sooyoung grins, "Mama didn't raise no fucking bitch. We keep going. (Mamá no crió a una puta perra. Seguimos.)" She starts with her hands on her hips, then raises her hands to emit magical black flames.

Next, Yoo Joonghyuk draws his sword and says, "No, no, no... Mama raised a bitch. Let's go. (No, no, no... Mamá sí crió a una perra. Vamos.") Finally, Kim Dokja is on his phone as he says, "Mama didn't raise nobody, actually, my mom was in prison. (Mamá no crió a nadie, en realidad, mi vieja estaba en cana.)" (The actual audio says "My mom was absent.")

There's a "bonk" sound, and the style turns cartoony as Yoo Joonghyuk goes "Oh my god... (Dios mío...)" with distress. Han Sooyoung wheezes with laughter, captioned "Cagándose de la risa," and Yoo Joonghyuk says, "Wall going down, wall going down." Kim Dokja is still on his phone. End VD] thank you so much for the id, @princess-of-purple-prose ♡♡

re: tumblr

hello! I work in tech and here are some important things to know about "tumblr is going into maintenance mode." please note I do not work at tumblr, I've just worked at tumblr-adjacent sort of companies for my entire adult life and i've gone through this before.

what does maintenance mode mean?

literally what it sounds like -- Automattic is not going to be hiring new staff, investing in new product features, or doing anything new on tumblr. the staff that remains working on tumblr will be maintaining the status quo. most of the staff will be allocated elsewhere (or possibly laid off, though it looks like from that memo that's not what they're planning to do). it does not mean tumblr is shutting down. you should still buy premium, get merch, etc, because this is definitely step one of the shutdown process, but a maintenance mode designation is basically to see if tumblr will generate a revenue without putting more money into it than strictly necessary.

why did this happen?

obviously I do not know directly. from my observation, it's in part because Yahoo had absolutely no idea what to do with this platform, and then when Automattic bought it they also... struggled... but it is also in part because the user base has been so viciously anti-monetization that most attempts were killed outright.

yes, the user base is part of the problem. the absolute feral anti-premium, anti-ads, anti-tipping, anti-everything tumblr tried to do to make money is part of the problem. it's not the only part of the problem by a long shot, but I would be remiss not to mention it.

what do I do now?

use the platform. just like, keep using tumblr. do not abandon ship. buy premium, get yourself some badges, get yourself some merch, but use the platform. ad revenue is based on impressions and clicks. if a ton of the user base gives up, that revenue disappears.

--

tumblr is extremely special. I've never seen anything like it in my 20-odd years of being Very Online, and I was a minor BNF in WolfStar during LiveJournal days. I don't know that it can be recreated elsewhere. I don't know where fandom will go. I know that something else will exist after tumblr and that nothing gold can stay, but i don't think the specific kind of joy found here can be recreated. i say this not to be a downer, but to be realistic. I guess I should find a Bluesky invite.

I've been here since 2008. I'm not going anywhere as long as this site exists. hope you'll stay here with me.

PLEASE READ!!! I DON'T POST STUFF LIKE THIS AND THIS IS SERIOUS TO ME! ELON MUSK IS TRYING TO DUMP THOUSANDS OF GALLONS OF WASTE WATER INTO THE LAGUNA MADRE IN SOUTH TEXAS!!!

The Laguna Madre is a beautiful ecosystem that houses so many species of wild life and many migratory species of shore birds go there to eat and rest. Its all thanks to the sea grass that grows there, and after the big freeze of Texas in 2021, it is slowly making its recovery and now it's in danger again!

(Black Skimmer with chicks shown here)

If Elon continues with this disguising act, nitrogen and hydrogen rich waste will be dumped and plankton and algae will begin to overpopulate and create a cloud of themselves over the sea grass causing it to not get the sunlight it needs to photosynthesize. It will basically be suffocated by the overpopulation of microorganisms and die out and so many species of animals will lose that shelter they need to feed, breed and even escape dangers like predators. This grass also feeds the endangered green sea turtle and was even given the name "Turtle Grass" for its huge importance to these creatures.

(Green Sea Turtle grazing) Not only that, but the South Padre Island is one of the largest ports in America and has many shrimping and fishing companies that rely on the environment to make a minimum wage. And once the water gets polluted, so many people can get sick or worse if they eat the fish and shrimp that have been exposed to it!

(South Texas Shrimping Boats) This is serious! And if you or someone you know lives in Texas there is a way you can make a comment and state how you DON'T WANT LITERAL SLUDGE IN THE OCEAN! IT WILL HURT THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE AND ANIMALS AND THE VAST AND DIVERSE ECOSYTEM THEY LIVE IN!

PLEASE DO WHAT YOU CAN! WE CAN'T LET MUSK DO THIS!!!

Initially I only started using Tumblr to see Neil Gaiman‘s sassy responses to questions, but I wondered what it would’ve looked like, if the cast for our Angel and Demon had been switched.

So I tried to draw Michael Sheen as Crowley and David Tennant as Aziraphale.

And now I get why they had them cast, the way they did.

Starting a petition that Michael plays Aziraphale and Crowley, and because I love David, he gets plays every. Single. Other character.

I’m sorry David.
