thinking yet again about Saiki‘s’s final choice in the series being “I’d rather live with my powers than die without them” bc that is seriously the single best ending of a disability narrative I’ve seen. Fuck.

The new website is live! https://hallowraith.com is the new hub for reading Of Blood and Tephra, FoE: Sireland, links to the TinkerQuarry steam page, and my Commissions page. Some subpages still need more time to cook, but I hope you enjoy this humble re-launch regardless.

tumblr is one of the only refuges artists have without fighting twitter’s worsening algorithm or instagram’s image crunching so i think on top of being vocal about bad changes, be vocal about the good ones too. like it or not, the Blaze feature is an awesome addition as it allows artists to boost their own work. the sponsored artist alley thing that shows as an ad spot is an excellent compromise between not having ads and helping the user base. the addition of top posts on a blog are good. if you send feedback complaining about the user-hostile updates, always mention previous versions that were better and why, and any new updates which are good and why.

Is anyone else experiencing mobile ads that are unmuted & start playing audio as soon as they come on your feed?

I keep hitting the mute button, but each ad I get still shows as unmuted & starts playing whatever music/audio it has in it. I'm almost positive I remember being able to mute one ad, then all other ads that pop up on my feed were muted, too. That no longer seems to be the case.

I wonder if this is a glitch or intentional. Somehow I have the feeling it's the latter, and if that's the case, that's scummy.

I'm less concerned about the minor inconvenience of having to lower/raise my volume whenever I want to watch a video then reminding myself to lower my volume again so I don't get jump scared by an ad later, & more concerned that it is an ad that is automatically unmuted & starts playing whenever it shows up on my feed.

I should have the option to keep my Tumblr browsing experience silent without having to lower my phone's volume all the way down. If I want to hear something play on my feed, I should have to unmute it myself vs. having it be unmuted for me unexpectedly.

Come to think of it, I feel like since I've started experiencing this issue, I've noticed more ads on my feed. Maybe I'm noticing them more bc now they have audio and catch my attention more often, or it could also be that they've just added more ads recently in addition to making all ads play sound whether you muted the previous ad or not.

with every new desktop ui change i become more convinced that the end goal is to make tumblr web completely unusable so that we're all pushed onto the mobile app, where it's harder to block ads. i know this is conspiratorial thinking but i can't imagine what else they're going for. i really think this is what they're working towards

It's interesting to note how the Tabris Origin, which involves a wedding, kidnapping and attempted sexual harassment, and fighting your way through an estate full of guards, is the Origin where gender plays a huge role in what story you experience. M!Tabris will always storm the castle coming to the rescue of his cousin and his betrothed, while F!Tabris will always have to fight her way out because the men in her life can't fully protect her (Nelaros dies, Soris literally hands her the sword, Cyrion is powerless to stop the abduction. Okay, this may be a little unfair to Soris who does fight side by side with Tabris and counsels caution the same way regardless of Tabris's gender). I'd go so far as to say that Tabris is the only Origin where the gender of your PC has a definite impact on the story.

TLDR to the rant in the tags: Tabris is constrained on all sides by being an elf, by their gender, in part by their family, and by society at large (both the Alienage and the wider city).

so seemingly the only yt channel that housed the english translation for the entirety of the 2001 Christmas audioplay, Jól í Latabæ, got terminated and i cant find it anywhere else. and chris crow has been radio silent for the past year.

thankfully, my best friend didnt have the focus for watching it, so days prior i committed the entire translation to a google doc. cheers

all translation credits, obviously, to chris crow and the ever-mysterious Fiverr Kristófer, abolutely recc this blogpost abt the translations

Tumblr be a functional website challenge

[jewishbarbies]

had a riveting conversation with my conservative father about how “michelle obama is a man” and “someone found out her passport used to say man” and that it “sets a precedent if those kids aren’t his”. i pressed him on how the fuck any of that is A.) our business, B.) proof he’s a liar in his profession, and C.) at all true. he refused to answer any of my questions and just kept refusing to say anything but “it sets a precedent” and then when i still wouldn’t change my mind and he got bored he said “okay” all flippant and left the room.
