ANS Food Week 2024

We are happy to announce something new! We are hosting ANS Food Week 2024, from January 7th through January 13th, 2024.

It is a very open event in the fact that you can create something one-character-focused for the prompts or multiple-character-focused; it could be pairing-related (any pairing is fine) or it could be platonic. It is a fun, lighthearted, and much-themed ANS week-long event. So, have fun!

The Optional Prompt is a prompt you can fill instead of one of the day's prompts if it inspires you and the day's prompt doesn't or can be used as a Bonus Day. Do whichever you would like with it!

Day 1: Eggs

Day 2: Garden

Day 3: Herbs

Day 4: Drink

Day 5: Vegetables

Day 6: Breaking Bread

Day 7: Dessert

Optional: On The House

Darkcream week 2024 day 1: Eclipse

AND WE'RE BACK BABY!!

And this is dramatic, lol. It's based on a tarot card design. I have no idea what the context of the scene was I just thought it was a cool design.

Soooo ta-da?

Hope you enjoy

@ans-arcade AnS Food Week Day 4: Drink

Wheeeee, my first time ever participating in an event on Tumblr! But I will use any excuse to draw my lovely Lata 🤭 he strikes me as someone who prefers to multitask so he doesn't need to stop whatever (more interesting) task he's up to.

Here's the interest check for MitsuKiki Week 2024. I'm kinda hitting a speed bump in figuring out what to do for this year, so some help is appreciated.

February Listening

Not saying I contributed to the Tracy Chapman resurgence, but it was mighty weird playing her on loop to then see/hear her everywhere. About time she had a resurgence. Sliding into her B-sides, I hadn’t realised just how explicitly political her music was. End of Jan/start of Feb was a dark time so she lit up my long bus rides to and from work.

Dance Fever was an album I slept on when it came out. I wasn’t aware, so finding it was another bright spot in the long winter. Daffodil was one I played on repeat for hours. Not hyperbole.

Fun story behind Colin Stetson: the Boy casually thanked me for introducing him to this album and I promptly went lol wut because I’d never heard of it before. Looked it up and fell in love— somehow Stetson has Inceptioned his way into our hearts. He is his own grandfather type scenario, idk. But haunted club music? Sad trance? Melancholic rave tunes? Hard to describe.

Ane Brun: breathy and cool. Just chill and nice. Velvet is an apt visual on the album cover. Song that turned me onto the album is still my favourite— Do You Remember. A heartbreaking and triumphant banger.

Likewise, been aware of Michael Kiwanuka for a while; loved the album’s eponymous song and that’s still my favourite too. Still need to delve into his back catalogue, but another one that got me over the humour of winter. He has the promise of bright summer days (daze) in his voice. Hot, warm yellows.

@tangledupinblue8 tagging you in this since you tagged me in that, not quite the same but what I listened to lately <3

How the F1 Calendar has changed since Liberty took over

I think it’s interesting to see the increase in double ans triple headers, I remember when that first triple header was introduced in 2018 all the media and crews were like “it’s too difficult and too draining I hope F1 never does this again”, and team members were reported as ‘looking like zombies’ in Silverstone, the third race in the triple header and now they are commonplace.

The gap between the end of one season and the start of the next has also reduced, between 2017 and 2018, there was 16 weeks off. Between the end of 2024 and the start of 2025 there’s 13 weeks.

QUELQUES TRUCS BIEN. MARS 2024

Ces “Quelques trucs bien” s’inspirent directement des “3 trucs bien” de Fabienne Yvert, publié au Tripode. 

Pas 3 par jour pour ma part, mais une volonté régulière de gratitude et d’optimisme. 

Aller au dernier événement du printemps des poètes sous la pluie. Pleurer à chaudes larmes pendant le débat suivant la projection du film pourtant déjà vu. M’esquiver sur la pointe du cœur avant de retrouver les mots 

Fêter Pâques et les 19 ans de ma nièce, alors que mon petit Mateo goûte du chocolat 

Être surprise par la biche traversant devant moi de bon matin : émerveillement !

Aller au théâtre à l’improviste. Passer une soirée à compter les cercueils et chanter Julio Eglisias 

Retrouver mes anciens collègues de travail pour une soirée apéro. Partager des souvenirs et des tapas 

Manger des fruits de mer sur la plage 

Visiter un jardin méditerranéen avec vue sur la mer : promenade ensoleillée 

Papoter avec mon amie C. de choses légères et d’autres profondes. Se donner des nouvelles 

M’offrir un bouquin de poésie allant dans les sens de « trucs bien »

M’inscrire à un atelier d’écriture en ligne sur le conseil d’une des abonnés de mon blog 

Entendre le chant des oiseaux à l’aube 

Inscrire mon petit Mateo à une activité nautique 

Saluer la mésange qui vient me saluer de bon matin 

M’offrir des muscaris pour fleurir ma terrasse ce printemps 

Entrevoir une biche qui osait sortir du bois alors que la pluie venait tout juste de s’arrêter et que la forêt était calme. Rester surprise moi aussi 

Consoler ma sœur d’un chagrin d’amitié. Rassurer son cœur de maman 

Attendre la pluie avec l’alerte météo. Attendre aussi le soleil qui reviendra avec le printemps 

Déposer des affaires à Emmaus et me sentir plus légère de donner 

Faire le tri à la maison : ménage de printemps 

Débarrasser le terrain des déchets, trier bois, végétaux, plastiques et ferrailles 

Reprendre les tournées en camion pour aller à la déchèterie. Retrouver ma carte perdue depuis des années 

Faire des vocalises et presque une conversation avec mon petit Mateo 

Découvrir la montagne enneigée le matin après l’orage de la nuit 

Partager un week-end entre filles : sonorités 

M’émerveiller devant les tableaux de Mucha. Avoir les larmes aux yeux devant son engagement humaniste

Tumblr Hack Week, édition janvier 2024

Plusieurs fois par an, nous mettons volontairement le holà sur nos activités habituelles afin que nos ingénieurs laissent libre cours à leur imagination. Et comme la dernière fois, ils ont pu consacrer une semaine entière à la recherche de fonctionnalités dont ils rêveraient en tant qu'utilisateur. À titre d'exemple, sachez que le Patio (dont le prototype avait été révélé lors de la précédente Hack Week de septembre 2023) s'est transformé en véritable expérimentation pour certains utilisateurs !

Découvrons à présent quelques-uns des projets émergeant de cette dernière Hack Week. Certains prototypes pourraient bien arriver sur le site…

Des Blocs et du texte en mode spoiler, et même du texte centré !

Le plus étonnant, c'est peut-être bien que nous ne disposions pas encore ces outils de mise en forme. Katie a donc décidé d'ajouter la possibilité de sélectionner une portion de texte d'un paragraphe afin de la masquer sous un voile noir, dont le contenu peut être révélé d'un simple clic/appui. Avec ça, fini le spoil ! Encore mieux : un nouveau bloc Spoiler fait aussi partie du prototype signé Katie, et, enfin, la possibilité de centrer les textes en cerise sur le gâteau.

Une multitude de nouveaux avatars par défaut

Nos avatars par défaut n'avaient pas bougé d'un iota depuis de nombreuses années (certains se souviennent probablement de celui-ci, qui a déjà plus de 10 ans). Ces avatars nous semblaient avoir bien vécu et ils méritaient un petit ravalement de façade… Alors, à mesure que l'équipe Design les remodelait, Paul en a réalisé toute une nouvelle panoplie avec un tas de variations s'accordant harmonieusement avec la dernière palette de couleurs Tumblr. Vous trouverez ci-dessous quelques-uns de ces bien jolis nouveaux venus, et sachez qu'il en existe encore davantage utilisant d'autres jeux de couleurs :

Notifications et e-mails précisant l'engagement suscité par vos billets

Cette idée va plaire aux adorateurs des chiffres et de la section Trafic de leurs blogs. Daniel, @jesseatblr et l'équipe Flux & Apprentissage machine ont travaillé de concert pour concocter de nouvelles notifications Push et e-mail. Leur objectif ? Indiquer aux utilisateurs la teneur de l'accueil réservé à leurs billets sur Tumblr : combien de fois ont-ils été vus et par combien de personnes distinctes. Nous disposions d'ores et déjà de ces outils de mesure (et plus encore) pour les billets Blaze, mais pourquoi réserver ces informations à ces seuls billets ? Elles peuvent en effet s'avérer très pratiques pour les créateurs désireux de mieux connaître leur audience.

Une nouvelle façon de naviguer sur le Web : la Palette de commande

D'autres applications disposent déjà d'une "palette de commande" utilisable via des raccourcis clavier et donnant ainsi rapidement accès à diverses fonctionnalités de la plateforme. Ainsi, en s'inspirant du sélecteur d'action existant notamment sur Slack ou Discord, Kelly et Paul ont décidé d'incorporer une fonctionnalité semblable sur Tumblr ! Utiliser CTRL/COMMAND + K sur une version interne du site ouvre une Palette de commande permettant d'accéder à votre blog, à la page Trafic, à vos dernières conversations, à la Recherche (et la liste est encore longue), juste du bout des doigts.

Voilà qui conclut cette dernière édition.

Alors, avez-vous vu quelque chose d'intéressant ?

N'hésitez pas à nous faire part de vos attentes ou remarques dans les réactions ! Et pensez bien à suivre l’@equipe pour savoir si ces ingénieuses idées apparaîtront pour de bon sur Tumblr. 👋

A Dinner Together

@ans-arcade

Here's today's fic from me; a little ZenYuki oneshot. :)

[ms-m-astrologer]

2023 Leo Disseminating Moon

Saturday, December 30, 23:51 UT, 24°00’ Leo

The key phrases for the Disseminating lunar phase are “teach, share, communicate;” and “ease up on efforts with our intentions.”

There’s a grand trine in fire signs: Moon/Leo, Mercury Rx and Mars in Sagittarius, Eris Rx ans the North Node in Aries. I foresee a ton of very loud and very dramatic whining about how shitty 2023 was to us personally! Not my idea of how to bid adieu to another calendar year, but hey, whatever floats your boat….

We may also become a little competitive about who had it worse, thanks to Mars. Some people are like that - for them, life is a race to the bottom, and they must be in the lead.

Unrelated: there has begun several weeks’ worth of a big mutable problem. Because of how slowly they move, there’s a long-lived t-square between Neptune/Pisces, Vesta Rx/Gemini, and and about-to-retrograde Juno/Virgo. Turning off and on sexually; finding that nothing is ever perfect enough for us; the ancient “madonna/whore” complex inflicted at women - all possible. We’ll have to reckon with this to February 2024.

The various faster-moving thingies moving through late Sagittarius turn the whole mess into a mutable grand cross: Mercury Rx (and direct) and Mars right now, soon to be joined by Ceres, and (later in January) Venus.

Mutable sign afflictions mean a new situation or challenge is manifesting; it’s our task to meet the challenge before it gets worse. In The Book of Air, astrologer Steven Forrest says that the strengths of the mutable grand cross are adaptability, responsiveness, and flexibility - “the ability to tweak strategies in the face of shifting realities” - that sure sounds like Neptune. There is also “the early recognition of the need to let go, to ‘die’ in some sense of the word, and simply to move on.”

If this configuration is setting you off - important placements between 20° and 29° of Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, &/or Pisces - lean hard on that placement’s flexibility and adaptability - and use those signs’ relative lack of sentimentality to recognize where we need to let go and move on.

@ans-arcade AnS Food Week Day 7: Dessert

This was a super fun watercolour panel redraw from Chapter 66!! The little cookies were a really great challenge to try and replicate. No wonder Lata is eyeing them like that 👀

Future Plans

Day 2! I'll be honest this entry is a bit short, cuz I was seriously stumped but I hope you like seeing Tammy in his soldier days. Hope you like!

@tamlinweek

Tamlin Week 2024- Day 2- Warrior/Poet

Future Plans

The bonfire burned brightly as they gathered around it and ate some rations before sleeping, Tamlin was about to fall over if Amdras hadn't wacked him in the back of the head.

"Eat before you pass out, princey!"

"Jerk."

"Leave Tamlin alone, Andy!" Rosencratz said as he took a sip of wine. "He saved our asses today!"

"Yeah! Just for bothering him it's your turn to talk!" Clavel told him.

The brunette twins and the rest of the squad didn't give up so he shrugged. "Fine. Once we are done with service I'll become a sentry and work until retirement, maybe get married ans have kiddo if I find the right person."

"Awww that's cute! Okay me next! I want to be a chef!" Lilianne, a blue haired blue skinned soldier spoke up. The tiny woman certainly always brought a good fight. Tamlin had no doubts she'd make honors when service finished.

"Ill cook with you Lili! What's say you, Lance? What shall you do?" A tiny male pixie spoke to their shadow wraith friend.

The tall grey skinned fae smiled. "I want to be a gardener. I love Spring! Moving here was the best decision I made!"

"I hear that!" Andras beamed, he was still pale and cold to the touch betraying his Winter heritage yet he seemed very happy to be here. "What about you, Tamlin? What shall you become after military service ends?"

What could he become? He wanted to be a traveling muscian but doubted that could come to pass before Oisin died and one of his brothers took the throne. Then he thought back to the parchments and verses that were on his pack along with weapons.

"I'd be a poet."

"A poet...That suits you, your limericks are always a riot!" Rosencratz said.

"Write about us!" Lilianne joked.

The rest of the group chuckled, approving his decision. He felt slightly bashful having a familiar moment that he sorely lacked at the manor with his blood siblings.

No matter, they'd go back home tomorrow and be done serving in two days. Tamlin intended to reward all his squadamtes upon the end of service. For now he wanted to sleep.

None of them quite heard the roaring monsters in the distance.

***

Death is certain as the sunset over the horizon

Today I stand before you with eyes of iron

That our farewell would come in a thousand years time

Not just as we are about to reach the end of the line

Rest well, in fields of daisies and marigolds

Until we meet again in times of old.

Tamlin finished reading as he stared at the coffins. Only he and Andras made it to the end of service alive, for the rest of the squad perished during the attack on their camp. Tamlin doubted he'd ever forgive himself for failing them. He spent his nights since swearing such a thing wouldn't happen again.

Tamlin put his feelings into reading the verse before collapsing into a fit of crying. Andras held him in a hug until he was quiet.

"That was perfect, you did very well. Come, let's go back and let the morticians do their job. I heard Prince Dorevan called the Autumn prince's to celebrate. Luce will cheer us up."

He smiled sadly. "Yes, it's been a while..."

He stood and let Andras guide him away as they left the room. With one last glance at his friends he swore he'd write them a thousand poems.

"C'mon big guy. I'll take care of you for them." Andras said as they walked away, unaware of the smiles on his ghostly friends faces.

Hopefully neither would join them any time soon.
