i've been kind of wanting to run a poll for quite some time now on whether people think pep is more of a top or a bottom just because i'm curious but i fear looking at the results would make me delete my entire blog in a frenzied rage so maybe i won't do that actually

[dangoarts]

confused

I was playing around with my Huion Kamvas, and I wanted to make something ✨pink✨

"experiencing tumblr nostalgia?" yeah but it's for things like not having live and not having the mobile layout fucked up. why don't you fucking fix that instead of trying to sell me merch.

In regards to the new desktop layout just as a follow-up to the initial shock to expand on some of my points/reactions:

obviously your mileage is gonna vary in regards to how it fits on your screen, depending on your use case, window size/position, and the resolution of your monitor. i have a 4K monitor with decently small text scaling so i'm able to fit a lot of stuff on my screen on most sites save for like Twitter and now Tumblr, because a lot of sites at least scale somewhat alright even if they don't make the most use of the screen space. i assume this is a case of this update being SUPER half baked and not thoroughly developed before rollout. i mean look at how many UI redundancies it introduces to the account page. this is... not a finished product! at least i sure hope it wouldn't be!!!

so that to say: i've seen some people post images of the new update where it looks like, mostly okay in terms of space efficiency. the issue of wasted space then is not necessarily an issue of the layout itself, but more a disregard for how it should scale properly to different resolutions. which is super super important to figure out especially nowadays as there is a LARGE variety of screen resolutions out there in regular rotation.

also ultimately my take from the perspective of a web designer is...... not to be trusted, as I am not a web designer LOL. i am an entertainer and i use this site primarily as a consumer. but like.... sincerely, the old UI was not perfect but this is not addressing any of that. it's just a distraction and a seemingly clear attempt to copy the UI design of Twitter as that platform continues to push its userbase away. which is a really weird choice!!! because these websites are not good at the same things! and tumblr sincerely needs to stop trying to make them good at the same things! that's not why i'm here!

Halloween Event 2023 — The Kamome Monster Nursery Monstagram Account (OLD)

Hello all! In this post, we've compiled the event hosted on AidaIro's Twitter account in 2023 to celebrate Halloween: a return to the Kamome Monster Nursery!

This time, we take a look at the nursery's new social media account...

This post is broken when viewed on our tumblr desktop theme! Check out the new version of the post by clicking here!

If you're on mobile, you should be fine. Go ahead and continue reading!

🎃Announcement🎃 To all nearby residents: First, allow us to express our gratitude to everyone for always being such good neighbors to our monsters and researchers. Tonight, we have taken it upon ourselves to review a common concern we receive: that our facility seems dangerous and gives people the creeps.

In light of this, we have decided to set up a social media account to allow all of you to see our monsters and researchers in action. By viewing the feats and day-to-day lives of our nursery, we hope it may help you better understand our noble mission. 🎃🎃🎃

—The large-scale social networking service, "Monstagram"... Apparently there's an account on there that posts not just the day-to-day lives of humans, but monsters as well...

What spine-chilling lives could these monsters possibly be leading? With shaky hands, I decided to take a peek at this "Kamome Monster Nursery" account on "Monstagram"...

There are already a few posts here. Now, which one should I view first...?

POLL:

【We're gonna bite'cha!】✅

【The Monster Prodigy】

【Aim to hollow out your opponent, and... Punch!】

【Who's up? ～Whispering Sweet Nothings・For Eternity...～】✅

Alright, let's open up Monstagram...

【Who's up? ～Whispering Sweet Nothings・For Eternity...～】 Oops! I accidentally clicked on a weird video! This man is treating me like a kitten. Is the sexy voice really necessary...? I think I'll go to sleep early tonight...

【We're gonna bite'cha!】 It's a video of three monsters practicing their dance moves. Their footwork's a mess, but you can tell they're giving it their all. I wonder if they're going to put on a show...?

—Setting aside that researcher's cryptic video, it seems to me that the monsters are planning something. What could it be...? Now, which one should I look at tomorrow?

POLL:

【The Monster Prodigy】✅ 【Aim to hollow out your opponent, and... Punch!】 【Outing With the Older Boys】✅

OK, let's open up Monstagram again...

【Outing With the Older Boys】 Three monsters are being lead through town by an adult monster and an adult human male. The monster in front is leading them with a flag. He's so cool and collected... wow... I've decided: in my next life, I want to be reborn as a flag!

【Target Spotted!】 I found the continuation to the last photo. It seems they went to the city to go shopping. The monster is pointing at a hat shop. I guess she found what she was looking for. That's nice.

【The Monster Prodigy】 The three monsters are practicing writing. There are envelopes and stationery nearby. Are they writing a letter to someone...? The one with the best handwriting out of the three of them seems to be the one with all the wings growing out of it. That one's so skilled, I... I can't even read it...

—I feel like I'm beginning to get an idea of what the monsters are planning. I'll take a look at the rest of the posts tomorrow...

I'm going to go on Monstagram today, too!

【Secret Nightly Routine】 I-I didn't know monsters could be this adorable...!! The secret to keeping her tail so fluffy is by brushing it daily and bribing it with cookies, it seems.

【Aim to hollow out your opponent, and... Punch!】 The Three Monsters are training. No way — are they preparing for battle...!? Maybe they're planning on beating somebody up. Monsters are awesome... ...

—Tomorrow it will finally be Halloween. I wonder how they're all going to spend it......

Looks like they didn't post any updates on Monstagram today. The monsters and researchers must be too busy to post anything.

Judging by the posts I saw, those monsters were probably doing all that work in preparation for today. I wonder if the three of them are enjoying Halloween with the researchers right now...? If they come to town, I'll hand out treats to them. ...

🎃 Happy Halloween! 🎃

once again I will echo previous suggestions: when they start a/b testing major new features (such as the new desktop dashboard layout), if you receive it and hate it? just. stop using tumblr for a bit. or only use it on platforms that the change isnt on (i.e. mobile instead of desktop). let the data from a/b testing show oh, people just straight up stopped using the site as much when we gave them this update. weird.

and also go to the support page and leave feedback. specific feedback! not just "ew, gross", but point out specific things you dislike, and say WHY. even if its something simple like "this is an obvious copy of twitter's layout, and its annoying for yall to randomly copy twitter for no reason, this doesnt add much usability, etc"

Updated our desktop theme once again! Let me know if anything breaks or looks weird, Tumblr themes are not my strong area.

[beansprean]

I finally updated my blog theme after like 3 years…..tumblr is so weird on desktop

[arcielee]

I just saw your reblog and you mentioned the new tagging situation, can I ask what happened? I really didn't noticed that

Sorry for asking

Hello my darling anon!

First off, I love dorking out about this kind of thing, so thank you for asking.

Currently Tumblr is having an issue with consecutively tagging 5+ blogs in a row. The first 5 will get the notification, the ones following will not. When you look back on the post, you will see the blog names without the underline, indicating the hyperlink did not attach and the notification was never sent to them.

The current work around for this is to tag 5 blogs, hit enter, tag another 5, and so on.

It is irksome, it makes tag list look weird, and it is so irksome. My guess is that it was missed during the QA for their new features (as I am sure we are noticing the Create Your Community thing going on) and it is probably a silly hiccup in that update.

I am not sure if it affects the app, as I mostly use desktop.

You can follow their page Tumblr Changes for ongoing issues and things they have fixed. 💜
