#XKit please I beg

[sysig]

Ughhhh

[thehappinessmachine]

me: (making a very exhausted dumb post half-thinking tired of capitalism WTF IS HAPPENING NOW IS THIS A COMPANY HECKING UP AGAIN AGAINST THE PEOPLE vibes) people coming out of the tumblr woodworks: you’re a paranoid tumblrina aren’t ya. we’re going to psychoanalyze you to hell and back (incorrectly)

Put the icons back!!!

Does anyone know of an extension or something that I can install to put icons back to the left of posts? I've been getting a ton of updates at once and it's really stressing me out (forced new dash, beta post editor is dead, and now this). It seems so benign, but it's really fucking with my ability to scroll through my dash and tell who posted what.

I already have a dashboard unfucker via Stylus & still have a shitton of XKit stuff enabled (Idk what even works anymore or not I just don't touch it & it does its best) but I haven't seen any work-arounds for the icons yet.

.... MY COMPUTER RELOADED EVERYTHING WHEN I WAS ASLEEP I FUCKING HATE IT HEREEEE

[implodingpotato]

[brightjin]

[kasarian]

NOOO NO NO NO STAFF TAKE IT BACK TAKE IT BACK I DONT WANT THIS SHIT TAKE IT BACK !!!!!!!!!!! I RAN AWAY FROM TWITTER!!!! DO NOT REMIND ME OF THAT HELLSCAPE!!!!

[illmoraineakoi]

They did something to the desktop dash again, didn't they.

SOMETHING is off, and I can't fucking tell what it is. but whatever it is, I Do Not Like It.

EDIT: OH THE USER ICONS ON DASH ARE FUCKING GONE

THAT'S WHY IT'S SO UNCOMFORTABLE.

I CAN'T TELL WHICH OF MY FOLLOWING PEOPLE THE POSTS ARE FROM BECAUSE THEIR ICONS ARE GONE.

// tumblr links refusing to open in the desktop version and only opening in dash is the most annoying change ever fr

[labwebs]

🕸i figured out that you can have the beta editor do small text as you type but it keeps it highlighted in grey the entire time and why is this editor so bad if they’re forcing people to use it

[ailithnight]

hi! i am literally on my hands and knees begging you to add the “long post” tag whenever you reblog a large chunk of text i love reading your additions to posts but if it’s a prompt i’m uninterested in i have to scroll forever to get past it. thanks :)

I am very sorry, friend, but I simply will not remember to do that.

Nothing malicious, I just straight up consistently forgot to use tags. When reblogging, mostly I only remember them when there are extra things I wanna whisper without putting it into an actual reblog.

If this troubles you so much, there are definitely things you can do about it. If you are on desktop, you can press 'J' to automatically jump to the next post (and 'K' to go back to the top of a post). If you are on desktop and using XKit, you can mute posts without unfollowing or blocking anyone.

And if you aren't on desktop (or are and want an additional option) Tumblr does have an inbuilt feature you can access in your Dashboard Settings to shorten long posts. I will admit, I have no idea how good that feature is though. I turned it off as soon as they rolled it out.

Worse comes to worse, there is nothing wrong with unfollowing anyone for any reason. And if you still want to read my additions to things, you can always seek them out. Trawl the reblogs in posts you like or visit my blog whenever you please.

Best of luck to you, friend. <3

SONIC EVENT: CRUISE BLUES

NOTE: THIS IS FOR THE SONIC RPC ONLY! Check this post for basic rules.

    The weather is getting warmer (somewhere), don’t you just wish you could get out there and see it all? How about instead of that, you’re stuck on a gigantic cruise ship, no expense spared, full amenities, and your way completely paid! Welcome, one and all to TBM's EXTRAVAGANT CRUISE SHIP! You, YES YOU, are invited to take a load off for a FULL WEEK! Celebrate with friends, participate in all kinds of activities, please enjoy the complimentary HIGH SPEED WIFI in case you get bored of social interaction, as well as really anything you can imagine! We’ve GOT IT! But, you can’t leave until the Cruise is done.

    Huh? You didn’t want to come? That’s too bad, because you’re already here! You’ve woken up in your quarters! The lodgings have been split up so everyone has at least once roommate! Who’s your roommate? No idea! We at TBM like to make sure your vacation is as eventful as it is relaxing!

(examples of what the cabins look like-- Who will you be sharing your cabin with?)

    Any luxury cruise activity you think would be fun, feel free to do! Just don’t try to jump off the ship or fly off of it… It’s a real pain to have to go back for you. And if you just fly off well… you’ll definitely get tired eventually. Why not just stay, relax, and take a load off?

(Want an idea for on-cruise activites? Check here!)

    You can be fine for a full 7 days on a cruise ship with only a limited space to be able to run around in, right?

   MUSES CANNOT:

    -Destroy the property.     -Kill or seriously injure another character     -Have 18+ RP tied to the event. If you really want to write that kind of stuff, please use your own tags for it. DO NOT POST IT IN THE EVENT TAG! I BEG OF YOU FOR ALL OF THE PEOPLE IN THIS RPC PLEASE DO IT FOR THEM GIVE THEM A CHANCE

    Muses of any and all ages are welcome in this event, but there MAY BE ALCOHOL consumption, depending on the thread! Please respect people's rules when you're interacting with their posts.

   FOR THE MUNS:

    Sonic muses only! Sonic fandom OCs are also allowed. Duplicates encouraged! Everyone should have a chance to participate.

  MAKE SURE YOUR RULES PAGE IS EASILY ACCESSIBLE (AND READABLE).

    (Please remember that there are people using the beta editor and people who aren’t. Dash stretch may happen regardless, so as a courtesy to your RP partners, consider putting the bulk of your starter under a read-more, in case the post breaks on trimming!) (If you’ve recently started using the Beta Editor and don’t know how to trim, be sure to get Xkit Rewritten! Trimming comes AFTER the post is posted, not before! You can save your reply to drafts and then trim, AND THEN post. Also you can now respond to Asks and then trim the ask box itself off later.)

    If you want to participate, you may reblog this event post to boost it, but DO NOT START THREADS OFF THIS POST. IC wise, the cruise is for one week, but feel free to continue your threads as long as you want. Despite how ominous this event feels, it’s not a murder mystery nor is Dr Eggman behind it. But feel free to set up your own fun!

    Important to know: Since characters have to have roommates, feel free to plot with each other in private and come up with who is staying with who, you can also make it open ended if you want someone to take up the opportunity! It's up to you! If you don't get any takers, a random NPC will be the roommate, or whatever you choose to do. Have fun! Read and respect each other's rules!

    the tag for the event is:

    #SONIC EVENT: CRUISE BLUES

[space-blue]

Was that necessary, tumblr??? Was it? Must you make the single most attention grabbing thing in notification this totally useless info? Why would I give a shit if someone follows me?????

I have 3k followers, that's 90% of my notes, stop this BS!!!! Whoever is doing patching code to curb tumblr shite, or Xkit, please do something to return notifications to their old streamlined apparance, I beg of you.

Nex up a big RED BANNER saying DOESN'T FOLLOW YOU that I can click on to see suggested TIPS to be a better CONTENT CREATOR and get more people to FOLLOW ME.

stooooooppppp!!!!

meanwhile the bots are back, not that tumblr staff gives a shit.

[devintrinidad]

So, I finally got the new tumblr layout and I checked the xkit extension thing. They haven't made anything yet to bring it back to the old layout? Or do I not have the newest version? Or do I need to read better?

Please, bring back the old layout!

Xkit guy, I'm begging you.

If I wanted to go on the site formerly known as Twitter, I'd go there.

It's so weird trying to navigate the buttons like this. I hate it.

[devourmist]

// i am begging, crying, please think of the ppl who made blogs semi-recently because they literally do not have access to legacy editor anymore and therefore are unable to cut posts using xkit

[feralthembo]

you know how xkit is a thing and all that? there should be something that lets u mass report the blocks. idc if it takes me ten hours to get through them all, let me check off suspicious blogs and hit a single button instead of 2 or 3 for each bot. please i am begging. let me pull these damned weeds more efficiently
