Old Tumblr Dashboard (Userstyle)!!

I created a Userstyle for the Chrome/Firefox Stylus Extension that reverts the new dashboard to the old format. This took a lot of tweaking and it's not perfect at all, but if anyone wants it I'll be uploading it soonish now!

You need to have Stylus installed. So if you don't have it:

Install the Stylus Firefox Addon or the Chrome Extension (You can install Chrome Extensions on Edge as well)

Once it's installed into Firefox/Chrome/Edge you can proceed with adding this style or any other.

To add the style, follow the instructions:

Go to this link: https://userstyles.world/style/11286/old-tumblr-dashboard-july-2023

Click on "install".

Style will open a tag with it and in the left side you'll have a button that says "install style", click there. (Step-by-step copied from the lovely dorothyoz39 who wrote this in a reply!) If you don't want the sticky header you can remove the labelled script at the top of the css below /* Sticky Header*/

Be sure to check for updates regularly and if you'd like, consider supporting me on Ko-Fi https://ko-fi.com/pixiel !

..::::HOW TO UPDATE::::..

click the Manage button on Stylus and click the check for update button next to the userstyle, then click again to install!

Make sure to check the Userstyle and see if the version number matches the one below if you don't see any changes!

NEW UPDATE: 12/09/24 (D/M/Y), )1:34PM BST v14.9

v13.4: Added a way to fix the communities icon position if you don't have the New Xkit button or have hidden any of the icons. Just remove the highlighted /* */ pair in the code for what you need.

V13.5 & v13.7: Nuked the Go Premium button - Re-positioned the search bar on search pages v13.10: Changed a lot of the new look for replies - it's not perfect yet mind. Small bug with the "..." menu moving to the left with shorter replies. Looks a lot more like the old replies section though! Made it possible to remove the reply to reply button just search for "NEW Replies UI" in the userstyle and remove the /* */ around "display: none" OR use Ublock to block the element! v14.1: Reverted the "Original Poster" border + text to look like old version. Edit: Whoops, fixed an issue with showing the timestamps v14.4: Chat fix v14.7: Fixed the icons in the header and removed the text again!

Tumblr Post Width & More (OTD+ Userstyle) Is now available!!

OTD+ is an add on for Old Tumblr dashboard that you can use to edit the Post Width, Content Positioning & More - It must be used with Old Tumblr Dashboard installed as well on the latest update!

THE CREATOR OF THIS USERSTYLE SUPPORTS THEIR TRANS SISTERS. WE'RE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER!

Check the readmore for the changelog, custom code & known issues!

----- Known issues:

Only two columns in Masonry view. Unfixable, Tumblr creates columns based on monitor size, if I try adding another column (because it doesn't exist) it just perpetually loads on screen. Tempfix: Zoom out in chrome/firefox and it adds more columns

Search bar doesn't appear on some pages (like viewing a post), this is because Tumblr removed the search bar on those pages completely. Unfixable!

Tumblr has ONCE AGAIN CHANGED THE ACCOUNTS MENU. The menus are now shorter and have less information on them. This is unfortunately permanent. I do not see any way to fix this. Unfixable.

If you want people's icons to stay fixed in place, instead of scrolling with the dashboard add;

.FtjPK .AD_w7 .JZ10N, .RYkKH > .nZ9l5 { top: 0px !important; position: relative !important; }

to the top of the code! You can also create a second userstyle by clicking the 'tumblr.com' part of the link in 'Write new Style' and adding the code in there! That way you don't have to worry about re-adding it when you update.

Solved issues: (Update)

Menus need to be manually closed SOLVED! in V.4 and updated in V.5! The menu & icon WILL scroll with you if you have removed the sticky header CSS, however, clicking anywhere on screen will make the Menu disappear still.

Masonry view in searches is now fixed!

Resized Messenger Chat Box!

NEW UPDATE 16/08/23, 23:55 BST v6.5: Figured out how to reorganise the icons in the header. Let me know if you have any problems with it and make sure to update your Userstyle! Some icons are hidden with Display: Block; you can hide more icons with this method!

Solved issues p2

Brought back SOME of the icons for Tumblrs latest update - Unfortunately, this does not bring back user icons for Reblogged posts! Make sure to yell at Tumblr for removing the icons as well as the horrible dashboard update here! v7.5 Fixed icons for all posts and put them back where they came from!

v6.9.6.9 (I promise this is the last funny number): Fuck Off Buggy The Clown Update + All languages support for the old header design!

v7.0: Fixed the search bar for tumblrs new collections feature, so it looks like the original search bar!

v8.0: Fixed masonry view icons, hidden the reblog icon on dashboard icons, fixed icons in blog viewport

V8.1: Fixed issue with icons not working on soft-refresh & with endless scrolling disabled - be sure to complain to staff!

v9.3: Changed a few things with the search feature, I also made the posts less round.

UPDATE2 11/04/2024: SO We mighhtttt have overrun their servers. 😅 I'm getting a 500 Internal Server Error every time I try to fix it or upload it as a new style - the massive influx of people downloading the userstyle was probably too much. The Tampermonkey backup on Greasyfork works just fine though! Probably easier for a lot of people migrating anyway! UPDATE 11/04/2024:: My code has broken on Userstyles.world, (it is now fixed as of 12/04/24) until this is fixed I have created a Tampermonkey Backup Version of the Userstyle so feel free to use this version if you've broken yours!

https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/492279-old-tumblr-dasboard-backup

v9.6: Moved the Following | For you | Your Tags to below the create a post panel. Fixed the Accounts Menu! + Bugfixes V10.3: Patio compatibility. Added a way to hide the Patio button & "patio feedback?" button, just search for patio in the code and follow the instructions! v11.0: Temporary Chat feature fix after Tumblr broke it, fixed some positioning issues and j/k scrolling!

v12.3: Fixed a text issue (my bad!), I undid the changes to the replies function and added a way to fix icons order for when you get the communities update!

v12.5: Update to make compatible with the Content Positioning using Tumblr Post Width & More (OTD+ Userstyle) v12.6: Post buttons fixed, icons unable to be fixed yet as I haven't got the tumblr changes just yet - but I will fix them asap!

v11.7: Communities Update, changed the new search bar on communities page to resemble the old one. The search bar still doesn't work on these pages yet for some reason. Blog view icons fixed. v13.0: The icons change should now have a working patchfix! BIG THANK YOU to arcadian-asgardian for sending me the screenshots I needed and testing if it worked. + Minor tweak, communities button resized to fit the rest of the icons better v13.2: Mini fixes now that I have better access to the new changes! Communities icon re-centered, usernames nudged back into place.

Tumblr 2023 Layout - cleaned up

I personally am open to a new look, but my god is it cluttered 😵 I'm rusty with coding, so lemme know if there's any bugs.

How to add:

Add the Stylus Chrome or Firefox extension.

While on tumblr's homepage, click the extension's "Write style for: www.tumblr.com/" button.

Paste this code into the top area (replace any default code already present)

Delete any part of the code that hides something you want (e.g. the Explore button).

Save!

I see the targeted marketing going well for Tumblr /j

[tauforged]

the fucked part of this update is that i remember back in ye olden days when the dashboard layout was much more similar to the current look, except it had all the stuff on the right side bar (where the current dash layout has the reccommended blogs and the tumblr radar iirc) and we still had the top bar with the little icons, and the stuff on the sidebar wasnt NEARLY as cluttered as it is now. and i remember when they got rid of it in favor of the top bar with little drop down menus and everyone fucking LOATHED IT, we were all clamoring for it to be rolled back. and they somehow managed to finally put the blog info back into a sidebar like we wanted all those years ago and they somehow fucked it up so bad that we all hate it and want the old layout back . what a website

[misterradio]

watchin dr caligari makes me think, why dont ppl make silent films anymore. well maybe they do but i certainly dont know of any big releases that are silent. and there is something about the overall design aspect in caligari that makes me feel like an art form has been lost. like why are we as a society not making movies like this anymore. Not to imply you need to copy Or Even take direct inspiration from that movie. i mean like. where is all the absurdity.. the artistry.... the pure visual design......

actually that stylish extension was ok but this dashboard unfucker works MUCH better

[eloquenceandemphasis]

omg what extension did you use to change the tumblr dashboard please?

I used https://userstyles.world/style/11286/old-tumblr-dashboard-july-2023 by @pixiel!! It was super easy to download and works like a charm!

You do need to install Stylus for it to be usable; that's a Firefox or Chrome extension (presumably it would work on Edge too, but I use Firefox).

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/stylus/clngdbkpkpeebahjckkjfobafhncgmne

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/styl-us/

Here's a link to install Stylus on both Chrome and Firefox!

Hope this helps; it was like two buttons total for me.

UPDATE: this is a link to the original Tumblr post by @pixiel; for updates, bug fixes, etc., make sure to look at and reblog their original post: https://www.tumblr.com/pixiel/723402150351437824/anyway-i-created-a-stylish-stylus-that

MASTERLIST, TAG LIST

Drivin' on the right-side road He says I'm pretty wearin' his clothes And he's got hands that make Hell seem cold Feet on the dashboard, he's like a poem I wish I wrote I wish I wrote

Charles had a habit of taking everything lightly and making jokes to play off serious situations, something that could bother you at times.

The first time you met, for instance, was one of those times.

You were driving down the road of your little town and had to slam the brakes as to not run over the incredibly handsome, but incredibly stupid, boy that had just tried to cross the road.

You had honked at him and he looked up in surprise before immediately being pulled back by the hands of a red-headed girl. He broke out in a grin as you drove off with a scoff, internally cursing him.

The next time you saw him was only later that same day, surprisingly at your family friend’s, and the local butcher’s, shop.

You had walked in an immediately let out a sigh of annoyance, one of which he heard and turned around with that same grin plastered on his face.

“Well, if it isn’t the boy with a death wish,” you muttered, ignoring him and his friends to go up to the counter. Unluckily for you, Jenny was not there.

The boy scratched his neck bashfully. “Yeah, sorry ‘bout that. Forgot you lot drive on the right side of the road, which is technically the wrong side of the road. Just wasn’t looking.”

An eyebrow raised in his direction. English.

He stepped forward with a hand outstretched. “The name’s Charles. Pleased to meet you.”

You took it as a shiver ran up your spine, weirdly so cold to the touch he felt warm. It was the first time you managed to get a proper look at him, admiring his stylish clothes and sharp features. And his eyes were as warm as his hand was, deep swirling pools of darkness that seemed to emit nothing but light. You smiled back, introducing yourself.

“Pleasure. And this is Edwin, Crystal, and Niko,” he introduced his friends behind him, who all gave you a smile except for the uptight-looking Edwin.

“Well, I’ll let you guys get back to it,” you said, turning back to the counter as Jenny came out. You handed her the keys to the car with a wink. “Thanks for letting me borrow your car, Jenny. Told you I would return it without a scratch.”

She raised a doubtful eyebrow. “That is left to be seen, kiddo.”

You were about to turn around just when you caught the end of the other teenagers’ conversation. “Did you guys just say ‘Point No Point?” you asked and swivelled around to face them.

Niko nodded enthusiastically, briefly glancing at the boys. “Yeah, we’re going there for a—um, to meet someone there.”

“That’ll take ages without a car,” you remarked.

Crystal sighed. “Well, I can’t drive. How are we gonna get there?”

Your lips lifted into the beginning of a smirk as you turned back to Jenny. She heaved a deep sigh and threw back the keys into your hands.

Your smile broke out as you thanked her and motioned for the others to follow you. “Come on, I’ll give you a ride.”

Charles insisted on sitting in the front seat beside you, his feet up on the dashboard, tapping his finger along to the music in the car. You thought it was oddly charming.

You had asked what their whole deal was and Niko had inevitably revealed that they were the Dead Boy Detectives and that Charles was, in fact, dead. Upon hearing it, you almost slammed the breaks again in pure shock but managed to keep driving as if nothing.

And he laughs at all my jokes And he says I'm so American

It also started raining on your way there, making you groan in frustration as you remarked that “all this water is going to get Jenny’s car so muddy.”

“‘Wa-der,’” he had chuckled under his breath.

In an instant, you had turned to him with a harsh glare. “What?”

“Nothing,” came his amused reply. “You’re just so American.”

It wasn’t nothing, though. It was the first of many remarks against your American accent.

You had arrived at the lighthouse and very warily gotten out of the car. Somehow you had gotten roped up in their case and was now there to help them out through the end.

Charles had noticed your shivering in the cold rain and offered you his jacket which, despite ghost physics, was quite heavy and warm. You supposed ghosts couldn’t really get wet by normal rain, as both Edwin and Charles seemed unbothered by it.

You had tried to argue against taking it, claiming that you wouldn’t want to ‘strip him of any of his Britishness’, to which he had only scoffed and heaved the thing onto you while saying, “so American of you to assume my Britishness can be stripped away merely by my coat.”

Charles had then given you an appraising look and, while the others were distracted by the ghosts on the pier, bent down slightly to say, “You look pretty wearing my clothes.”

Your cheeks had warmed immediately and you’d turned away to not give it away, earning a chuckle. It made you smile though.

He learnt quickly that complimenting you would earn him a blush and a soft nudge against his ribcage, which made him do it even more.

That was also when he liked pointing out your accent. It started as a small observation, but eventually evolved into insults and bits.

He did it every chance he got; saying ‘lit-er-ally’ with an over-exaggerated vocal fry; ‘aloominum’; ‘hey, y’all’; and, his absolute favourite of them all, ‘i’m walkin here!’. Half of them made you laugh incessantly and the other half made you drag a hand over your face in frustration.

The worst was when he would parrot you personally, making you half wondering if you should be ashamed of your accent. When you had asked him about it, though, he had been quick to assure you that he loved your accent.

And that was when you started doing it back to him.

It became a game for the two of you, often just imitating each other’s accents.

“Are you ‘schewpid’?” you asked, turning to him.

He chuckled dryly, cocking his head in your direction. “Yeah, yeah, while you’re throwing insults at me I am just going to go grab a ‘kawfee’.”

You scoffed. “You’re a ghost, Charles. You can’t have coffee.”

“I can, but it just tastes disgusting.”

“Okay, well, while you’re at it, ‘kan I please ‘ave a cupa wa’a’?” you said, meeting his defiant gaze before he  burst out in laughter. It made your insides warm knowing you were the cause of that laugh.

“Would you two please stop it?” came Crystal’s irritated reply. Edwin only rolled his eyes at your antics but you knew he agreed with Crystal’s discontent. You caught Charles’ gaze and broke out in a smile.

“I don’t know,” said Niko, fiddling with her fingers, “I think it’s cute when they do that.”

And just like that, you both fell silent and turned away from each other.

Oh, God, it's just not fair of him To make me feel this much I'd go anywhere he goes

You knew you liked him, a lot. But you hadn’t dared admit anything to him or anyone else and tried your best to hide it—not that you were doing a very good job.

The only thing that knew what you felt were the thrown-away poems you had written on a whim, his beaming face starkly imprinted in your mind.

You didn’t think it was fair for him to make you feel that much, enough to actually write poems about him. God, you were whipped (Charles would have definitely made fun of your using that word if he heard it).

You came with the Dead Boy Detectives on all their cases, now an honorary member in their Detective Agency. You enjoyed a lot of detective stories, like Sherlock Holmes and so seemingly had absorbed some of it, because you were quite good at figuring out clues.

It was all practically worth it to see Charles' smile directed at you after you had discovered something.

God, I'm so boring, and I'm so rude Can't have a conversation if it's not all about you The way you dress, and the books you read

And despite it all, you didn’t feel quite enough for him. He was a charismatic and vibrant person, while you thought of yourself as quite rude and boring.

Sometimes you wondered if you were too harsh in your remarks at Charles’ britishness, but then remembered his always-present smile that met your gaze and your worries fell away.

Nothing had happened up until that point, but it became increasingly more difficult denying anything being between you two.

Even Edwin started catching on and asking if something was between you two, which lead to some very awkward silences where Charles would drag Edwin away with an apologetic smile thrown your way.

Until finally it got too difficult to deny.

Niko would ask you something about a case and somehow you would end up talking about Charles’ smile, his eyes, the way he dressed and what he was interested in. She finally got so sick of it and decided to just call you out on it.

“You like Charles.”

You opened your mouth to protest but she put a finger against your lips, causing you to be too stunned to speak.

“And don’t say that you don’t, because it’s obvious,” she said, removing her finger.

“It’s not that obvious, is it?” you asked. You refused to meet her gaze and instead tried to look anywhere but her.

“Yes, it is.” She sighed, bringing her hands up to clasp your shoulders. “We all know it. Even Charles. But he won’t admit it either, so please go talk to him before we all die.”

You rolled your eyes, but felt a small smile start to form on your lips. “OK, just a little dramatic there?”

Niko shook her head with a serious expression on her face. “No. Now go find him.”

She had shooed you away after that, making sure that both Edwin and Crystal were distracted enough so that you could slip out to talk to Charles privately.

You found him in the other room, rooting through his backpack to find something ridiculously large, no wonder.

And he says I'm so American Oh, God, I'm gonna marry him If he keeps this shit up I might just be in lo-lo-, lo-lo-, lo-lo-, lo-lo-lo-lo-love

He seemed to have heard your footsteps as you were coming in because he tilted his head in your directing, flashing his trademark smile.

The sight of it made you swoon and you had to take a deep breath in order to collect your thoughts. When he finally asked what was up, your words came out jumbled and very much not like you had planned them to come out.

“Hey, hey,” he said, taking ahold of your shoulders and meeting your nervous gaze with his steady one. “Take a deep breath. C’mon, breathe with me.”

You did as he said, breathing with him, trying and failing to ignore the shivers that spread along with his touch. When you had collected yourself, he smiled and let go, much to your disappointment.

“That’s it. Now, what’s on your mind?” he asked.

You strode past him, opting to face the window instead of seeing his face. It only made it harder to get out any coherent sentences. “Why’d you think anything was on my mind?”

“Well,” remarked Charles, strolling after you, “it’s not everyday you storm in here as if the world is ending and then end up babbling like a stroke patient.”

You stared at him in horror before rolling your eyes. “Stop being so British, Charles.”

“Sorry, no can do, love.”

“That’s the problem, isn’t it?” you muttered to yourself.

“What?” he asked immediately, striding right in front of you so he could look you in the eyes.

“Look,” you started, refusing to meet his eye and instead looking anywhere else. Although, you could feel his  gaze burning into your skull. “I might have developed some… feelings for you.”

Charles’ eyes widened at your words and you tried to turn again but he grabbed your shoulder to hold you in place. You sighed and finally met his gaze. His eyes were the same mysterious pools of darkness that you were used to, but you might have fooled yourself to imagine something else in them—something hopeful.

You decided to continue your confession because you were far past the point of redemption and might as well get it all out in one go.

“And the problem is, Charles, that however hard I try not to, I keep developing feelings for you. Even your annoying habits and antics cause me to fall for you. And, I swear to God, that if you keep this shit up I’m going to be properly gone for you.”

You waited a breath for his reaction, but when nothing came you were forced to ask him again. “Charles?”

“Uh, yeah,” he stammered out, his voice suddenly dry and cracked. “Sorry, I—uh, I was not prepared for that.”

You shrugged. “That’s alright. We’ll just go back to being friends. Nothing needs to change.”

He shook his head violently. “That’s absolutely not OK.”

You had but a moment to be surprised before he went in for the best kiss you had had yet in your short life. He held you like he had never touched anything before in his life and kissed you like he was a dying man and you were the cure. You weren't sure how much of it he could feel, but the psychological effect was immediate and mind blowing.

He may be dead but he had never felt more alive than in that moment.

I really love my bed, but, man, it's hard to sleep when he's with me When he's with me

Your relationship escalated quickly after that first kiss. You didn’t define it as anything, but it made you happier just knowing he was there by your side—and you could all him yours.

And you wasted no time in physically progressing your relationship—AKA you did not get much sleeping done.

It was a different kind of vulnerable, allowing yourself to give your soul and body to Charles, and him trusting you with himself.

Because of his being a ghost, it felt like so much more an emotional and psychological experience which only made you appreaciate it, and him, more.

By the looks of it, he enjoyed it as well—more than enjoyed it. He couldn’t stop smiling at you afterwards, while he laid on the bed beside you and gazed at you with half-dazed eyes.

Charles let himself curl around you, embracing you. You weren’t sure if ghosts could get tired, but nonetheless he whispered out a, “I’m knackered.”

You had nuzzled into the crook of his neck. “You’re so British.”

He kissed your forehead softly, and you felt it more than you had ever felt him before. “And you’re so American.”

You only chuckled and let yourself drift off to sleep in his arms holding you close.

You never wanted to get out of bed or leave him, and he utilised that fact to his every advantage.

He did everything he could to keep you in bed with him, even though he probably didn’t sleep much, just wanting to hold you close.

It wasn’t fair how easy he made your heart melt.

I apologize if it's a little too much, just a little too soon But if the conversation ever were to come up I don't wanna assume this stuff But ain't it love? I think I'm in love

It didn’t take long for you to know that it wasn’t merely affection you felt for Charles, but something much deeper.

You didn’t want to presume Charles felt anything close to what you felt, though.

So you continued acting like whatever the two of you were—kissing and hooking up—not quite a couple but not quite friends with benefits, but something in between that went deep between you two.

Without any real definition for what you two were, it frightened you out of saying anything to him.

So you kept going with the featherlight kisses, the quiet giggles after one of you said a joke and were trying to cover it up as to not disturb the rest of the group, and the endless nights where you could be in his arms and have not a care in the world.

But it was on your mind, constantly.

Oh, how you just wished to say those three words to him, to just have it out in the open. So he could have you with the truth staring into his face and do with you what he pleased.

You wanted to splay yourself open for him, vulnerable and unafraid, show him yourself and let him love you back with the same ferocity with which you loved.

And finally, it became too much.

He was on his way out for one of the cases, one of which you chose not to go with them to. He had just collected all his belongings in that backpack of his and went in for a goodbye kiss.

“Be careful,” you whispered between parted lips, leaving the ghost of your words on his mouth. He smiled through it and pulled away.

“Always am,” came his cheeky reply, winking at you before turning to the door. “Bye.”

“Bye,” you called, and then, without thinking, “Love you.”

It took a mere moment for his brain to register your words before he halted and slowly turned in his step.

“What?”

Your own eyes widened in surprise of yourself and you were quick to come up with a way to play it off as a mistake or a stumble upon your words. But he crossed the distance between you with long strides, dropping his backpack and bringing his hands up to hold your cheeks tenderly.

“What did you just say?” he whispered, eyes shifting back and forth between yours trying to find the truth in your words. Your mouth fell agape, but you couldn’t find the words to tell him again, so close now so that you could feel his short breaths of air on your skin. “Please,” he said again, voice so soft you had to strain to hear him.

“I mean, it might be a little too much, too soon, and I don’t want to assume anything, but..” Your voice trailed off, breaking. Your lips fought to form the words that so desperately wanted to make their way out of you. “But I—I love you, Charles.”

He breathed out huge sigh of relief and captured your lips with his. “I love you too,” he whispered between breaths, barely audible.

Your smile could not be hindered as he kissed you back, fiercely and passionately. He kept pressing kisses on your mouth, on the corner of your lips, trailing to your cheeks, to your neck, down to your shoulders and your chest. All the while he kept repeating those same three words, “I love you,” over and over again, pressing them into your skin. Into your soul, essentially.

Your hands were grasped in his hair, fingers curling around his locks as you felt every touch of his lips that brought forth a shiver down your spine. Not from the coldness, though, but from the feeling of his soul connecting to yours.

He kept pressing featherlight kisses to you with small ‘I love you’s, and you couldn’t fight the laugh that escaped its way through you.

“Okay, stop it” you whispered, pulling his head away to grasp his face in your hands. You met his eyes with a smile and his beaming grin made your insides melt. “I love you so much, Charles.”

He laughed, pressing another kiss to your lips. “I love you too.”

“Now, come on, you got a case to solve.”

Charles let himself be lead away to the others, refusing to let go of your hand. He even pressed kisses to the back of it every chance he got, and you were roped into going to the case with the rest of them, if only not to leave Charles’ side.

Wednesday March 22.

When the going gets tough, the tough get decorating.

There's no better time for it, after all, because spring has sprung. And it feels good, doesn't it? The temperature is mild, there is light in the mornings, the sun is getting brighter, and the days are getting longer, and longer, and cherry blossom is emerging here, there, and everywhere like a joyous pastel explosion. Can you believe it? The winter that would never end has, well, ended. One season follows another. Who would have thought? Not us, that's for sure. And this new season is all about renewal, as the long and dark and cold has been replaced by color and warmth and all other aggravatingly wholesome good things. So now is the time, it seems, for #decoration. 

And it seems you good folk are into it, too, because there's a whole host of stylish, warm, and inviting interiors decorating our dashboard today. Bookshelves, a kallax or two, circular dining tables, four-poster beds, mezzanines, spectacular ceilings, and delicate bedrooms facing gardens or facing the sea...

Ford Torino

This car was not only a beauty but when properly equipped packed some serious muscle under the hood.

Here's why the first-gen Torino is a winner.

The Torino started as an upscale version of the Fairlane. By 1968, it became the top trim level.

You Could Get It Any Way You Wanted: The first-gen Torino offered several body styles, including a two-door hardtop, fastback, convertible, four-door sedan, and station wagon, catering to a wide range of tastes.

Gas Saver or Circle Track Beast: It came with impressive engine choices, from the 200 cu in I6 to the mighty 428 cu in Cobra Jet V8, making it a favorite among muscle car enthusiasts.

NASCAR Roof: While not as aggressive as the Superbird's design, the fastback "SportsRoof" model had excellent aerodynamics, proving advantageous on the race track and contributing to its NASCAR success.

Looks that Kill: The 1968 redesign featured a full-width recessed grille, horizontal quad headlights, and a sleek body with a horizontal crease running from front to back, giving it a distinct and stylish look.

A Plush Interior: The interior boasted a new dashboard with four round pods, ample padding, and even optional shoulder belts for front outboard passengers.

The GT Package: The Torino GT came with special name plaques, GT markings, and a handling suspension package with heavy-duty springs and shocks, which really made the big car handle.

It was a Huge Success: 1968 was a great year for the Torino, with 172,083 units produced, reflecting its popularity and positive reception by the automotive press.

And, It Paced the Brickyard: The 1968 Torino GT convertible was selected as the Indianapolis 500 pace car, which was (and is) quite the honor

The first-generation Ford Torino was more than just a car; it was a symbol of style, power, and innovation. Whether cruising down the boulevard or tearing up the race track, the Torino left an indelible mark on the muscle car era.

hello! i really love your blog and i love your writings they are incredible! i am happy to see you on my dashboard :)💕

can you do for the side dateables reaction for their S/O recreating Margiela "kiss shirt" and giving it to them? (you can search about this trend on tiktok)

When MC Makes Them a Margiela Kiss Shirt Scenarios | DIAVOLO, BARBATOS, SIMEON and SOLOMON 1.5k words | SFW | gn!Reader | Fluff & Humor | Mildly Suggestive Content Warnings: Pet names (Barbatos, Solomon), some possessive thoughts, some suggestive comments. A/N: I chose the four original Dateables, I hope that's okay! 💙

DIAVOLO

Diavolo is taking you out for dinner, and you agreed to meet him at the Demon Lord's castle.

When you arrive, the shirt is on a clothes hanger behind your back, and you present it to Diavolo with a nervous smile.

His surprised expression quickly morphs into one of delight because he’s obsessed with it. Humans are so creative!

He’s dressed in a stylish suit for your romantic dinner date, but he’s shrugging off his jacket so he can unbutton his shirt and put on the one you made for him.

He leaves his suit jacket open so he can show off his new shirt, decorated with the evidence of your feelings for him. He doesn’t care who sees. 

(Let them see, he thinks with a hint of possessive satisfaction.)

When you pass Barbatos in the hall leading outside, his eyes widen when he notices Diavolo’s change of clothing. You think he’s going to say something, but he doesn’t. He does look like he just bit into something sour though…

Barbatos’s reaction causes your anxiety to spike, and you’re having second thoughts. 

You hesitantly ask Diavolo if it’s really okay for a prince to wear something like this, but Diavolo pulls you closer and presses a kiss against your temple. He tells you not to worry, and he sounds so sincere that you believe him.

When you leave the castle with Diavolo, he has his suit jacket on and the top button of his new shirt is undone. By the time he drives you back to the castle nearly four hours later, his shirt collar is open wide and his suit jacket is wrinkled and neglected in the backseat. 

Diavolo laughs when he reads the Devildom tabloid articles the next morning. He asks Barbatos to fetch him a pair of scissors, and he cuts out the blurry photos they took of him wearing the shirt you made.

Barbatos sighs when he serves his master breakfast. Diavolo waves the picture at him and the Little Ds hovering nearby, talking enthusiastically about his new favourite shirt. He has a lovestruck grin on his face the entire time he eats.

(Barbatos waits until Diavolo leaves the room before he cracks a small smile of his own.)

BARBATOS

“Mr. Barbatoooooos!”

Barbatos glances at the doorway as Little D Number Two enters the room, carrying some awkwardly shaped bag that trails wildly through the air behind him.

“It’s a gift from you-know-who!” the little demon says excitedly, fluttering around Barbatos who takes the package from him.

“Very well, thank you,” Barbatos says when he starts to tug on the clothing bag’s zipper.

He senses a pair of eyes on him - several pairs of eyes, in fact - and he looks around. The other Little Ds have appeared out of nowhere, hovering around the perimeter of the hall and pretending to be busy cleaning something while they eavesdrop.

Barbatos knows they just want to see the present you’ve given him today. Sometimes you even surprise the small demons with gifts of their own.

(The Little Ds might be a bit jealous of their boss.)

Barbatos shoos them away with a glare, and once they disperse, he retreats to his room for some privacy.

He finally unzips the clothing bag and stares at the crisp white - mostly white - shirt inside. He hesitantly brushes his fingers over the kiss-stained fabric. He's surprised when the waxy residue stains his gloves. 

Ah, so it’s real lipstick. That means your lips actually—

His D.D.D. rings and he doesn’t hesitate to answer when he sees your name light up on the screen.

“Did you get the gift I sent you?” you ask him, and he can hear the mischief in your voice.

“Yea, dearest, although I’m quite surprised by it.” He’s still touching the imprints of your lips. “I'm curious what inspired you to make me such a wonderful gift.”

“Think of it as something to remember me by while I’m visiting the human world with Solomon. Love you!”

Barbatos hangs the shirt up in his closet so it won't get ruined (and so no one else will see it). He keeps the token of your affection to himself; he wears it to bed instead of his usual night shirt until you return from your trip.

SIMEON

Simeon glances up when you knock on his bedroom door. You're a little early for your lunch date, but that's alright - he's almost ready.

He’s so distracted by your bright smile and handsome outfit that he doesn’t even notice the gift bag in your hand until you lift it up and let it swing on your finger.

“I made you something special,” you tell him happily and offer the bag to him.

He peers inside and sees a new button up shirt folded carefully in the sheets of tissue paper. “Would you like me to wear this today?” he asks teasingly. He already has his shirt on, but his eager fingers are already unbuttoning it from the top button down.

Simeon takes off his old shirt and shrugs the new one you give him onto his shoulders. He catches a hint of colour from the corner of his eye, and he tugs on the collar so he can look at it properly.

“Lipstick?” he asks, a little confused.

You nod and step closer to him, and you start buttoning up the shirt for him since he seems too shocked to do it himself.

“I made it for you.” You worry your bottom lip between your teeth. “Do you like it?”

Simeon looks affronted, like the idea is absurd. He laughs and cups your cheek in his palm, stroking the soft skin with his thumb. “I love it,” he says when he gives you a quick kiss. He pulls away reluctantly, his eyes burning into yours.

He's playing with the collar of his shirt, tracing the shape of your kisses with his fingers. “I like having your mark on me,” he admits quietly before he leans towards you again.

Simeon’s sudden desire to keep kissing you makes you laugh. You have to dodge his greedy lips while you convince him that he really should finish getting dressed.

He reluctantly buttons his shirt and lets you pull him from his bedroom after a few more kisses that end much too soon for his liking.

SOLOMON

You’re getting ready for a date with Solomon, but he surprises you when he shows up unexpectedly at your bedroom door in the House of Lamentation.

He has a mischievous grin on his face, and you notice that underneath his coat he’s shirtless.

“Um, Sol? What happened to your…you know…” you ask awkwardly, pointing to your chest that’s fully clothed, unlike his own.

“Oh, I have no idea what you mean, darling,” he lies through his teeth, scanning your shelves and humming far too innocently to be genuine.

You groan when realization dawns on you. “Asmodeus told you about the shirt, didn’t he?”

Solomon has the decency to pretend to look shocked, even though it’s a poor imitation. “Shirt? What shirt?”

Ugh, so much for that surprise. You lean down and reach for the gift bag you tucked under your bed earlier that day. “Well, I suppose you can have it now,” you say, and no, you are definitely not pouting.

Solomon, however, is ecstatic, and he rummages through the tissue paper until he finds his prize. He holds up the shirt and laughs happily. “Oh, my darling, this is wonderful. Shall I try it on for you?”

He gestures for you to take a seat on your bed, and you cross your arms over your chest while he shrugs the shirt on and buttons it up. You hate how amazing he looks in it.

He turns around to look in the mirror, but his gaze is focused on the collar of kisses you made earlier that day. Asmo insisted he knew the perfect shade of lipstick for you to use.

("It matches your natural lip colour perfectly! Solomon will love it!")

“You know, I am rather fond of this,” the sorcerer says, his tone a bit warmer now, and more sincere, “but I think I prefer the real thing best.”

It’s hard not to blush when he makes eye contact with you in the mirror, and the playful grin on his face sharpens into a smirk.

“We’re never going to make it to dinner at this rate,” you say jokingly when he offers you his hand so he can pull you up.

His eyes are glittering and you smile at each other for a moment. “I think I’ll go brag about this to Asmo while you finish getting ready,” he suggests with a wink before he grabs his coat and heads for the door.

It's too late when you realize that Asmo is in the dining room with the rest of his brothers. You're barely out the door to stop the chaos when the familiar sounds of yelling and crashing dishware echoes down the hall.

BONUS:

Who’s inspired to make you a kiss shirt of their own: Diavolo and Solomon.

Who makes deliberate eye contact with you when they put on lipstick and insist the shirt isn’t necessary: Barbatos and Simeon.

O

Oh no my Dashboard fixer stopped working!! ... Does anyone know of any others that are working? I know the one I was using stopped updating, but it just swapped to the fake-twitter layout and it makes my skin crawl. Crisis averted, found another one that works. https://pixiel.tumblr.com/post/723402150351437824/anyway-i-created-a-stylish-stylus-that For anyone who hates Faux Twitter, here you go

[rpclefairy]

collection of tweaks for tumblr.

note this is directed at roleplay blogs, which is why i may be removing features that a regular personal blog would use, but everyone is free to use and customize these to your own liking.

i recently posted a quick tutorial on how to use ublock to remove the annoying shop button with the permanent "new" notification and i was asked both if i use any other tweaks for the dashboard and if i could compile my previous tweaks such as bigger dms, so here i am bundling all my tumblr fixes / tweaks. to install these you'll need ublock origin (feel free to experiment and adapt this to other adblocker extensions!) and stylus (apparently stylish has some privacy concerns so i'm no longer using that)

ublock / adblocker part: following the steps on this tutorial, you'll open the filters panel on ublock origin and paste this. all filters are named and categorized in case you want to pick and choose.

follow the instructions in the notes! you'll have to replace my url with yours and if you have sideblogs copy paste the filters with the urls of your other blogs:

stylus part: install this style, follow the "get stylus" button if you don't have this extension installed. optional customizing the css:

.j17Mp makes the dms window size bigger, adjust to your liking.

.k31gt various is all text / posts settings:

1. "text-align: justify;" justfies text, remove if you don't want justified text. 2. "font-size: 13px;" changes the font size of both normal and small text to a default 13px, adjust to a size comfortable for you!

.k31gt.ljmFj removes the gap between blockquotes.

everything else removes the empty gaps from removing ads with ublock.
