Since tumblr launched polls there have been a lot of ship and character polls, and some include BTVS! A recent tournament for the AO3 top femslash ships included Tillow (Tara x Willow) and Fuffy (Faith x Buffy). In Round 3 Tillow lost, but Fuffy pulled out a win, by only 20 votes.
As part of the tournament there are downloadable data sets and line graphs. The line graphs are for every single poll, showing the votes over time for both ships in each round.
Tumblr media
You can see above once Tillow reaches about 1,000 votes the other ship gets a strong lead and never looks back.
Tumblr media
On the other hand, the Fuffy matchup was fairly close the entire round. The lead keeps changing between Fuffy and the Amity/Luz (from The Owl House) ship.
Super cool that people are visualizing this poll data!

I haven’t really seen any of the more recent U.S. election news hitting tumblr yet so here’s some updates (now edited with sources added):
There’s evidence of Trump cheating and interfering with the election.
Possible Russian interference.
Mail-in ballots are not being counted or “recognized” in multiple (notably swing) states.
30+ bomb threats were called in and shut down polling stations on Election Day.
20+ million votes are still unaccounted for, and that’s just to have the same voter turnout as 2020.
There was record voter turnout and new/first-time voter registration this year. We definitely should be well over the turnout in 2020.
U.S. citizens are using this site to demand, not only a recount, but a complete investigation into election fraud and interference for the reasons stated above:
Tumblr media
Here is what I submitted as an example:
An investigation for election interference and fraud is required. We desperately need a recount or even a revote. The American people deserve the right to a free and fair election. There has been evidence unveiled of Trump cheating and committing election fraud which is illegal. There is some evidence of possible Russian interference. At least 30+ bomb threats were called in to polling places. Multiple, notably swing states, have ballots unaccounted for and voting machines not registering votes. Ballots and ballot boxes were tampered with and burned. Over 20 million votes that we know of are unaccounted for. With record turnout and new voter registration this year, there should be no possibility that there are less votes than even in the 2020 election.
Sources (working on finding more links but if anyone wants to add info, it’s appreciated):

Emails released by Rachael Bellis (private account, can’t share original tweet) confirming Trump committing election fraud:

Multiple screenshots and images.
The first is a screenshot with a link and information for contacting the White House directly regarding election fraud. The instructions include choosing to leave a comment to President Joe Biden directly and to select election security as the reason.
The screenshot then instructs people to include any or all of the following information in a paragraph as a comment to the president:
32 fake bomb threats were called into Democratic leaning poll places, rendering polling places closed for at least an hour.
A lot of people reporting their ballots were not counted for various reasons.
This all occurred in swing states.
This is too coincidental that these things happen and swing in his favor after months of hinting at foul play.
Directly state that an investigation for tampering, interference, fraud is required, not just a recount.
The second image is from the FBI Twitter account that reads:

The next four Gmail screenshots of an email sent to Rachael Bellis from Chris T. Spackman that read together as follows:
Dear BELLIS, RACHAEL E., The Dauphin County Board of Elections received a challenge to your absentee ballot you applied for in the November 5, 2024 General Election. The challenge argues that a provision of the Pennsylvania Election Code takes precedence over the federal Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act (UOCAVA), which requires states and counties to permit U.S. citizens who move overseas to vote by absentee ballot for federal offices based on their last U.S. residential address.
The full text of the challenge that was filed appears below this email.
You may respond to the challenge in any of the following ways:
1. Call the Bureau of Registration and Election at (717) 780-6360;
2. Email a statement to the Bureau at Election [email protected]. Any statement you submit regarding the period during which you lived in Dauphin County, any family or connections that you still have here, and why you are now residing abroad would be read into the record.
3. Appear in person at a Board of Elections hearing scheduled for Friday, November 8 at a time to be determined in the Commissioners Public Hearing Room, 4th floor of Dauphin County Administration Building, 2 S 20d St, Harrisburg, PA 17111. The meeting is also likely to be livestreamed on Facebook on the Dauphin County channel.
Sincerely,
Christopher T Spackman
TEXT OF CHALLENGE BEGINS
Dear Dauphin County Board of Elections,
I am submitting this challenge to an absentee ballot application pursuant to 25 Pa. Stat.

25 Pa. Stat. 3146.8(f) Any person challenging an application for an absentee ballot, an absentee ballot, an application for a mail-in ballot or a mail-in ballot for any of the reasons provided in this act shall deposit the sum of ten dollars ($10.00) in cash with the county board, which sum shall only be refunded if the challenge is sustained or if the challenge is withdrawn within five (5) days after the primary or election. If the challenge is dismissed by any lawful order then the deposit shall be forfeited. The county board shall deposit all deposit money in the general fund of the…
The rest of the forwarded email is cut off.

Centre County Working with Ballot Scanner Vendor to Export Election Results.
(Bellefonte, PA) -Centre County Elections Office is working continuously to provide mail-in ballot data in order to post unofficial results.
To this point, all ballots have been scanned, including all mail-in ballots.
Centre County's Election team and IT team have identified that the data are successfully being exported from the mail-in ballot scanners, but that the data is not being recognized when uploaded to the elections software.
Centre County's Administrator, John Franek, Jr. stated, "We have not stopped working, and we will continue to work until unofficial results are posted and reported to the Pennsylvania Department of State."
As a next step, Centre County has begun working with the equipment vendor to adjust configurations to make the two systems-the mail-in ballot scanner and the elections software where data are uploaded -compatible with one another.
We will provide updates as we make progress.

An open letter to @staff
I already submitted this to Support under "Feedback," but I'm sharing it here too as I don't expect it to get a response, and I feel like putting in out in public may be more effective than sending it off into the void.
The recent post on the Staff blog about changing tumblr to an algorithmic feed features a large amount of misinformation that I feel staff needs to address, openly and honestly, with information on where this data was sourced at the very least.
Claim 1: Algorithms help small creators.
This is false, as algorithms are designed to push content that gets engagement in order to get it more engagement, thereby assuring that the popular remain popular and the small remain small except in instances of extreme luck.
This can already be seen on the tumblr radar, which is a combination of staff picks (usually the same half-dozen fandoms or niche special interests like Lego photography) which already have a ton of engagement, or posts that are getting enough engagement to hit the radar organically. Tumblr has an algorithm that runs like every other socmed algorithm on the planet, and it will decimate the reach of small creators just like every other platform before it.
Claim 2: Only a small portion of users utilize the chronological feed.
You can find a poll by user @darkwood-sleddog here that at the time of writing this, sits at over 40 THOUSAND responses showing that over 96 percent of them use the chronological feed*. Claiming otherwise isn't just a misstatement, it's a lie. You are lying to your core userbase and expecting them to accept it as fact. It's not just unethical, it's insulting to people who have been supporting your platform for over a decade.
Claim 3: Tumblr is not easy to use.
This is also 100% false and you ABSOLUTELY know it. Tumblr is EXTREMELY easy to use, the issue is that the documentation, the explanations of features, and often even the stability of the service is subpar. All of this would be very easy for staff to fix, if they would invest in the creation of walkthroughs and clear explanations of how various site features work, as well as finally fixing the search function. Your inability to explain how your service works should not result in completely ignoring the needs and wants of your core long-term userbase. The fact that you're more willing to invest in the very systems that have made every other form of social media so horrifically toxic than in trying to make it easier for people to use the service AS IT WORKS NOW and fixing the parts that don't work as well speaks volumes toward what tumblr staff actually cares about.
You will not get a paycheck if your platform becomes defunct, and the thing that makes it special right now is that it is the ONLY large-scale socmed platform on THE ENTIRE INTERNET with a true chronological feed and no aggressive algorithmic content serving. The recent post from staff indicates that you are going to kill that, and are insisting that it's what we want. It is not. I'd hazard to guess that most of the dev team knows it isn't what we want, but I assume the money people don't care. The user base isn't relevant, just how much money they can bring in.
The CEO stated he wanted this to remain as sort of the last bastion of the Old Internet, and yet here we are, watching you declare you intend to burn it to the ground.
You can do so much better than this.
Response to the Update
Under the cut for readability, because everything said above still applies.
Tumblr media
I already said this in a reblog on the post itself, but I'm adding it to this one for easy access: people read it that way because that's what you said.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Staff considers the main feed as it exists to be "outdated," to the point that you literally used that word to describe it, and the main goals expressed in this announcement is to figure out what makes "high-quality content" and serve that to users moving forward.
People read it that way because that is what you said.
*The final results of the poll, after 24 hours:
Tumblr media
136,635 votes breaks down thusly:
An algorithm based feed where I get "the best of tumblr." @ 1.3% (roughly 1,776 votes)
Chronological feed that only features blogs I follow. @ 95.2% (roughly 130,077 votes)
This doesn't affect me personally. @ 3.5% (roughly 4,782 votes)

Top Femslash Ships Bracket: Seeding
As promised, we're back with a new bracket! However, we're doing things a little differently this time. Rather than taking the data for seeding directly from a ranked list, we want you guys to be a part of the seeding process!
> Here is the Femslash Bracket Seeding Survey! <
This survey contains a list of over 100 ships, pulled from centreoftheselights's AO3 ship stats for 2023 and 2024, and Tumblr's year in review, as well as a few submissions that are not on either list but are considered iconic or historically important. It asks two questions: which ships have you heard of, and which ships do you view positively? The final seeding for the bracket will be based on a ratio of these numbers, from which we will rank the top 96!
A few notes regarding this survey:
Please answer as honestly as you can! Yes, that does mean going through a long list of ships twice in order to check all the relevant boxes, but such is the price we pay for accurate data.
Please only submit the survey once! While we normally delight in voter fraud, artificially boosting your favorite ship in this survey will only skew the results with no benefit; in fact, it could potentially hurt your chances in the actual bracket!
Do, however, feel free to reblog this post so we get a larger sample size.
The form does require that you be logged into a Google account; however, we are not collecting email addresses, and responses will be fully anonymous.
As always, this poll is a celebration of fandom and fandom history; we're aware that there are certain issues with many of the listed pairings and sources, but they are a part of that history. Please do not take this as an endorsement, and refrain from harassment.
We will be collecting responses until December 22, at 11:59 pm EST.
Take the survey here!

you guys know that tumblr polls arent actually quantitative data, right? you know they arent a reliable source for data in a scientific way, right?? right??

There are a lot of consistently repeated "facts" around tumblr that fall somewhere in this gradient—some of which are only corrected by actually crunching numbers, reading scientific papers, etc. Falling for misrepresented data isn't anyone’s fault, but it does mean that some things that "everyone knows" are straight up incorrect, because the source was written by someone who didn't understand what they were reporting on, or the subject was twisted to suit a narrative (for personal reasons, monetary gain, etc).
Meanwhile, SOME claims just don't have a real source at all.
Do you check sources before you repeat a factoid or spread a post?
We ask your questions so you don’t have to! Submit your questions to have them posted anonymously as polls.

Poll: The 4 Gs of Dan and Phil/The Phandom 💅⚫🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🤓
Answer the poll UPDATE: see the results
Hi! I am a data nerd, so I've been curious about the 4 Gs ever since I found out about them.
I wanted to make a survey in Tumblr to find out more about them, but there's no option to be able to select multiple options, so I've made a 1-question poll with Microsoft forms! Select all the options that apply to you.
Please fill it out so that we can understand more about our community! There's also an option for none of the above - if this applies to you, please share something about your self in the comments!
Please share this link around!
To quote Dan: "There are the four Gs of the Dan and Phil demographics: the girlies, the goths, the gays and the geeks. You could be any one of those things and think Dan and Phil, I am welcome there. They are like me. They would accept me. I can be in their comments section and people would like me for who I am." Source

here i am again thinking about how different tranches of the Dr. Who fandom rate each Doctor's different stories relative to each other. last year (or so) i did a big post analysing @adventure-showdown 's poll of the Tumblr fandom as it compared to the DWM reader's poll. there i examined the overlap of those two groups of fans' top- and bottom-rated stories for each Doctor. it was enlightening!
here i'm gonna further that analysis, with data from tardis.guide. i'm taking this data as of February 1, 2025 - clearly not exactly contemporary with the earlier data sets, but i suspect there will be some interesting trends. i made Venn diagrams. let's dive in.
First Doctor's top/bottom three
All agree: The Time Meddler (top) Tumblr/Tardis Guide: The Romans (top), The Smugglers (bottom) Tardis Guide/DWM: The Dalek Invasion of Earth (top), The Web Planet (bottom) Just Tumblr: The Edge of Destruction (top), The Crusade, The Savages (bottom) Just Tardis Guide: Galaxy 4 (bottom) Just DWM: The Daleks' Masterplan (top), The Sensorites, The Space Museum (bottom)
Tumblr media
In 1's top and bottom three, there's only one story that all three sources agree should be at one of these extremes: The Time Meddler is in the top three. I'm disappointed to see Galaxy 4 in Tardis Guide's bottom three, the novelisation was an early and important piece of Doctor Who for me. But it's tough with a mostly-missing serial.
Second Doctor's top/bottom three
All agree: The War Games (top), The Dominators, The Space Pirates (bottom) Tumblr/Tardis Guide: The Mind Robber, The Enemy of the World (top), The Krotons (bottom) Just DWM: The Power of the Daleks, Tomb of the Cybermen (top) The Underwater Menace (bottom)
Tumblr media
There is a bit more broad consensus on 2 than on 1. All three sources agree that The War Games is in the top tier, and The Dominators and The Space Pirates are at the bottom. Then, the Tardis Guide user base seems to follow Tumblr's inclinations, ranking The Mind Robber and The Enemy of the World at the top and The Krotons at the bottom (another important novelisation for a younger version of this writer, but alas).
Third Doctor
All agree: The Green Death (top), The Mutants (bottom) Tumblr/Tardis Guide: Death to the Daleks (bottom) Tardis Guide/DWM: Spearhead from Space, Inferno (top), The Monster of Peladon (bottom) Just Tumblr: The Dæmons, The Three Doctors (top), Planet of the Daleks (bottom) Just DWM: The Time Monster (bottom)
Tumblr media
Every Doctor has at least one story that all three sources agree is either at the top or the bottom, and I think that's great! It gives me a sense of a broader view of the fandom's tastes. For 3, it's no surprise that The Green Death is unanimously top-three material and The Mutants bottom-three (though, again, I'm realising I have some anti-mainstream opinions about some of these earlier "bad" serials" - I really liked The Mutants!). Tardis Guide's userbase breaks m ore in the DWM readership's favour regarding most of the rest of the rankings, with Spearhead and Inferno at the top and The Monster of Peladon at the bottom from both of those sources.
Fourth Doctor's top/bottom four
All agree: City of Death, Genesis of the Daleks (top), Underworld, The Power of Kroll (bottom) Tumblr/Tardis Guide: Revenge of the Cybermen (bottom) Tardis Guide/DWM: Meglos (bottom) DWM/Tumblr: Robots of Death (top) Just Tumblr: The Horror of Fang Rock (top), Nightmare of Eden (bottom) Just Tardis Guide: The Seeds of Doom, Shada (top) Just DWM: Pyramids of Mars (top), The Horns of Nimon (bottom)
Tumblr media
It's our first full Venn diagram! There's at least one item populating each section! And it's no surprise with the number of stories this guy has. I don't know what to make of the fact that Tardis Guide lists Shada alongside all of 4's regular TV stories - different methodologies for different folks, i guess. (Psst, there's only one other full Venn in this post - can you guess which Doctor it is?)
Fifth Doctor's top/bottom three
All agree: The Caves of Androzani (top), Time-Flight (bottom) Tumblr/Tardis Guide: Enlightenment (top) Tardis Guide/DWM: Earthshock (top), The King's Demons, Warriors of the Deep (bottom) DWM/Tumblr: The Five Doctors (top) Just Tumblr: Four to Doomsday, The Awakening (bottom)
Tumblr media
There is fairly broad agreement with 5's best and worst. It seems Tumblr is the fly in the ointment here, with our particular dislike of Four to Doomsday and The Awakening. However, all can agree that The Caves of Androzani is great and Time-Flight is less great.
Sixth Doctor
All agree: Vengeance on Varos (top), Timelash, The Twin Dilemma (bottom) Tardis Guide/DWM: Revelation of the Daleks (top) Just Tumblr: Mark of the Rani, Trial of a Time Lord (top), The Ultimate Evil (bottom) Just Tardis Guide: The Mysterious Planet (top), Mindwarp (bottom) Just DWM: The Two Doctors (top), Attack of the Cybermen (bottom)
Tumblr media
6 is probably the most problematic to do this sort of analysis for, because each of the three sources' methodologies differ such that each treats Trial differently: adventure-showdown's Tumblr poll listed Trial as a unit and each individual part separately, Tardis Guide just lists the individual parts, and DWM just listed the full season as one story. A mess. But a delightful mess, just like Sixie himself.
Seventh Doctor
All agree: Survival, Remembrance of the Daleks (top), Delta and the Bannermen, Time and the Rani (bottom) Tumblr/Tardis Guide: Silver Nemesis (bottom) Tardis Guide/DWM: The Curse of Fenric (top) Just Tumblr: The Happiness Patrol (top) Just DWM: Paradise Towers (bottom)
Tumblr media
7's run shows the most cohesion yet, with all three sources agreeing on 2/3 of each of the top and bottom stories in his run. Then it's just a matter of whether you prefer pink TARDISes or wet vampires.
Eighth Doctor
I won't attempt to make a Venn for 8, but I will sum up how his top 10 audio dramas overlap.
Both Agree: The Chimes of Midnight, Scherzo, Solitaire, To the Death, The Red Lady Just Tumblr: Caerdroia, The Natural History of Fear, Zagreus, Storm Warning, The Silver Turk Just Tardis Guide: Albie's Angels, Absent Friends, Lucie Miller, Palindrome - Part 1, Day of the Master - Part 2
A very neat 5/5/5 split here! I can see a definite bias towards 8/Charlie and the Divergent arc in Tumblr's top, whereas the Tardis Guide userbase seems to prefer 8/Liv/Helen and 8/Lucie, and I'm surprised and delighted to see a story from the Eighth Doctor's Time War series!
I may as well do the novels too, one second... Okay, here's how each source ranked their top 5 8DAs.
Both Agree: Alien Bodies, Unnatural History Just Tumblr: Interference, Mad Dogs and Englishmen, The Adventuress of Henrietta Street Just Tardis Guide: The Year of Intelligent Tigers, Vampire Science, Seeing I
Okay back to the TV show.
Ninth Doctor
All agree: Dalek, The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances, Bad Wolf/The Parting of Ways (top), Aliens of London/World War Three, The Long Game (bottom) DWM/Tumblr: Boom Town (bottom) Just Tardis Guide: The Unquiet Dead (bottom)
Tumblr media
I had to make the Venn diagram squishier, that's how much cohesion there is in these three sources' opinions on 9's run! You'll recall that DWM and the Tumblr poll completely agreed on his top and bottom three. The Tardis Guide userbase throws a bit of a wrench in, declaring their dislike of The Unquiet Dead over Boom Town, though I'll note that the latter is fourth from the bottom in the Tardis Guide rankings. I'm really interested in the broad consensus that seems to have formed around 9's stories - they practically don't move in the DWM reader rankings over the past decade plus. I'm curious to see if anything will be re-evaluated in the future.
Tenth Doctor's top/bottom four
All agree: Blink, Midnight, Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead (top), The Idiot's Lantern, The Lazarus Experiment (bottom) Tardis Guide/DWM: Meglos (bottom) DWM/Tumblr: Love & Monsters, Fear Her (bottom) Just Tumblr: The Fires of Pompeii (top), The Next Doctor, The Shakespeare Code (bottom) Just Tardis Guide: Turn Left (top) Just DWM: Human Nature/The Family of Blood (top)
Tumblr media
While I find the broad agreement around 9 fascinating, I'm equally fascinated by the divergence around 10. This analysis shows that people are inclined to believe that no more than one of the following stories belongs in his top 4: The Fires of Pompeii, Turn Left, and Human Nature/The Family of Blood. Not to say that they're interchangeable, but I think which one you pick can say a lot!
Eleventh Doctor's top/bottom four:
All agree: The Eleventh Hour, Vincent and the Doctor (top), The Doctor, the Widow, and the Wardrobe (bottom) Tumblr/Tardis Guide: Victory of the Daleks (bottom) Tardis Guide/DWM: The Day of the Doctor (top), Nightmare in Silver (bottom) DWM/Tumblr: The Pandorica Opens/The Big Bang (top) Just Tumblr: The Doctor's Wife (top), The Crimson Horror, Night Terrors (bottom) Just Tardis Guide: The God Complex (top) Just DWM: Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS, The Curse of the Black Spot (bottom)
Tumblr media
*airhorns* It's our second full Venn diagram! Much like 4, 11 has a lot to choose from and a really wide range of vibe throughout his run. He also has some stupidly long story titles, which are not very highly rated across the board (perhaps there's a correlation? make another graph!). Of note: the Eleventh Doctor is the only incarnation whose first and last stories are both ranked at the top by at least one of the sources (in this case, DWM and Tardis Guide) - except for the Second Doctor, to whom DWM also grants this distinguished position. I just think it's neat! [EXTREMELY LOUD INCORRECT BUZZER NOISE: it's been pointed out that Day is not 11's last story FML. i always forget about Name [2nd Edit: TIME OF THE DOCTOR]. perhaps there's a reason it's not included in the above diagram.]
Twelfth Doctor's top/bottom four
All agree: Heaven Sent, World Enough and Time/The Doctor Falls, Mummy on the Orient Express (top), Sleep No More, Kill the Moon, In the Forest of the Night (bottom) Tumblr/Tardis Guide: The Husbands of River Song (top) Tardis Guide/DWM: The Woman Who Lived (bottom) Just Tumblr: The Lie of the Land (bottom) Just DWM: Flatline (top)
Tumblr media
More agreement than 10, less than 9. I like that the three unanimously agreed top stories of the top four are each from different series: Mummy, Heaven Sent, and WEAT/TDF. Also I really need to rewatch Sleep No More - could it be as bad as I remember?
Thirteenth Doctor's top/bottom three
All agree: The Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos, Orphan 55 (bottom) Tumblr/Tardis Guide: Demons of the Punjab (top) Tardis Guide/DWM: The Haunting of Villa Diodati (top), Legend of the Sea Devils (bottom) Just Tumblr: Eve of the Daleks, Spyfall (top), The Vanquishers (bottom) Just Tardis Guide: Village of the Angels (top) Just DWM: Fugitive of the Judoon, The Power of the Doctor (top)
Tumblr media
And last but not least, 13. It's tough for everyone to come together and say which episodes of hers we all liked, but it's very easy to point at and judge Ranskoor Av Kolos and Orphan 55. I think when the dust has settled a bit more, Demons and Haunting will be more universally praised as the highlights of her run, but opinions are still quite spread out at the moment.
I hope you enjoyed this meta-analysis as much as i enjoyed making a bunch of silly Venn diagrams.

Hello!
I created this blog to query Tumblr on what YOU, dear reader, would consider to be a "mainline Super Mario game".
Now, everyone has their own definition on this topic. Everyone's list will look different. I know my list is likely different from your list, and even among experts and official sources, what's a "mainline Super Mario game" isn't even consistent. Most games (according to this video below) are some level of controversial, outside of like 4 or 5 games. This got me curious myself, and while this is certainly not an ORIGINAL idea, I'm still curious what y'all think. Especially where this is, indeed, a public forum, which allows for more nuance than a simple "yes/no" option on a website.
Polls will be published daily at approximately 10:30 AM PDT/1:30 PM EDT, and will feature some game with Mario in it. Polls will last 1 week, after which I plan on reblogging each post with a grade on how well it places on the Super Mario Mainline, according to the data, reweighed to exclude any "show results" answers.
Additionally, if you have any suggestions for games for me to add to the list, or if you have questions, please feel free to send me a message!
Source video listed below the cutoff.

Hello! Would you ever consider bringing back different post types, especially audio? I appreciate that audio posts now display the artist, song title, and album name, but unfortunately newer audio posts don’t play in Tumblr-based music players like egoisticalgoat.de or robinpx.github.io/boombox because they’re read as text posts. Thank you for reading!
Answer: Hey there, @stepintomusic!
Sadly, the answer here is no. We’ve been moving away from legacy post types and towards the Neue Post Format—a format that allows multiple types of media in the same post—for many years. The new features available in NPF basically guarantee that we won’t ever switch back to the legacy format.
(If you’re interested in peeking behind the scenes here, there are a few posts about NPF over at @engineering.)
Now, to get into the meat of the issue. While it would be amazing if we could support every third-party tool forever, the reality is that we can’t. We’re a surprisingly small team to begin with, and even if we weren’t, that support would come at a cost.
To start, there’s the development tax. Now, would it have been cool to ensure all third-party tools (and all custom themes) worked 100% perfectly with posts stored as NPF before releasing NPF to the public? Yeah, it would have been… for third-party tools and custom themes. For us, it would have meant delaying NPF (and all the features it brings with it) for months, possibly years. Imagine a 2023 where Tumblr still doesn’t have polls: that’s the alternate future we’re talking about here.
And then, there’s our maintenance tax. The engine that powers Tumblr themes is already incredibly complicated—complicated to the point that we’re already finding it difficult to maintain and add things like, as you mentioned, NPF audio metadata. If, every time we found some third-party tool that doesn’t play nice with the latest changes, we tried to make an affordance for it… the engine would just become even more complex. And it would do so quickly, and complex to the point of being impossible to keep up with as a maintainer.
There’s a great article here by a former Mozilla developer about the pitfalls of prioritizing a third-party ecosystem over your own software. Did you know that Firefox was essentially a single-threaded application until 2018? This meant it would still visually lock up when saving files to disk, or collecting crash data. Chrome launched in 2008 and was multiprocess from the start. But it took Firefox ten years to catch up because supporting all existing third-party add-ons was seen as necessary. (Spoiler alert: in the end, they had to drop support for those add-ons anyway.)
My own recommendation around third-party software like this is: get in contact with its developer! If something in their software isn’t working, there’s nobody more qualified to update it. (Or, if they’ve abandoned the project but had made it open-source, maybe someone else could step up to maintain it. Maybe you! You never know until you try.)
I talked about the maintenance tax from the first-party side, but let’s talk about it from the third-party side, too. As a theme author and add-on developer myself, I have long accepted that the cost of maintaining these things can never be zero. When your software interacts with an online service, and that online service is being actively maintained, your software also needs to be maintained.
I hope all this has been enlightening! Thanks for your question, and please, have a great day.
—April

What is Fantasy? - Poll Analysis
Tumblr media
(The Last Unicorn was not one of the polls lol)
A while back, I posted a series of polls titled "What is Fantasy?" that each presented a work of fiction for Tumblr to judge. This activity is one that I used to do with my Fantasy literature class when I was a high school teacher. Unfortunately, I lost the results of the Google Form I used to poll students, so Tumblr has become my new source of data for examining the mainstream perspective of the Fantasy genre. Overall, based on conversations my former students had and responses from these Tumblr polls, we can see a few patterns in the approach people seem to take when identifying a work of fiction as a Fantasy text.
I'll be doing a two-part series about this topic on my Substack (jerseka.substack.com) when I get it up and running (there's nothing there yet). This post is going to be an informal thinking space/rough draft, and I welcome any commentary, criticisms, or additions!
Poll results and analysis below the cut:
For these Tumblr polls, I used fifteen works that can all be labelled as speculative fiction. Speculative fiction as a category is inconveniently broad, especially for more precise discussions about genre conventions, quality, impact, etc. Fantasy, for instance, is distinct from sci-fi, horror, and dystopian literature, although to what extent is up for debate--which is what we're doing, essentially. At the heart of it, most people know--or think they know--which works would be housed in the fantasy section versus the horror or sci-fi sections of a library, streaming service, etc., but they don't always know why, and they don't always agree, and they often don't agree with what scholars have to say on the matter. We can, however, identify some common patterns of thinking. After taking polls and hearing thoughts, here are the most common factors that I've noticed for determining whether a work is fantasy:
The presence of anything unreal
Structure
Setting
Common stereotypes/characters/features
Style/mood
Not surprisingly, the work with the highest number of "Yes: Quintessential Fantasy" votes was The Lord of the Rings. Surprisingly, some people did not vote it as quintessentially fantasy.
Tumblr media
The Lord of the Rings tends to represent what most people expect from a fantasy story based on all the criteria above: there is magic, the structure can be said to follow the hero's journey, the setting is a fictional world with ample dedicated worldbuilding, the tone is epic with a uplifting core, and it has all the fantasy elements that people expect--elves, wizards, rustic inns, castles, and whatnot.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Following LotR, Avatar: The Last Airbender and Harry Potter were also generally categorized as "Quintessentially fantasy." Both of these works have fantastical elements, hero journey style structures (or at least quest structures), the epic and comic (happy ending, not funny) style of fantasy, and some things we commonly expect in fantasy, such as strange creatures and magical places. Interestingly, my former students had multiple heated discussions about Harry Potter. For some of the high school students, it represents their generation's most visible fantasy work, and they would rank it as the top tier fantasy above LotR. For others, the setting made it less fantasy, even to the extent that some of them argued it wasn't fantasy at all. Since Harry Potter takes place in modern Britain--not a fictional world, not the far-off past--it is less fantasy than other fantasy in some people's eyes. Tumblr seems to have a similar thought process; the worldbuilding and setting do not qualify Harry Potter as being "pure fantasy," it seems:
Tumblr media
Likewise, A:tLA does not fit many fantasy stereotypes--its setting may be considered fantastic, but many of my former students argued that it lacked the medieval-style feeling they expect with fantasy. The magic elements are also generally not called "magic"; bending is fantastic, but some people seem to consider it as distinct from the kind of magic found in LotR and HP.
The setting and stereotypes argument also came up heavily when debating Star Wars. My students tended to fall either into the "sci-fi" or "fantasy" camp and usually passionately so, with little desire for compromise. The results from the Tumblr poll showed that many people consider it 50/50, which suggests a little more openness to seeing the ways it blends genres. The votes are spread across the options, with the fewest at "No," but it seems Tumblr leans towards fantasy for Star Wars--an interesting development.
Tumblr media
It's easy to see why the debate exists. On one hand, Star Wars was actively constructed to follow the hero's journey, which is a structure commonly associated with fantasy, and the presence of Jedi and the force puts it squarely into the "magic" category in the eyes of many. Some students even called it "Harry Potter in space" and pointed out how similar "Long ago in a galaxy far, far away" sounds to "Once upon a time." On the other hand, space as a setting is not commonly associated with fantasy works, and many material elements of the story are often associated with sci-fi, like laser guns and spaceships.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
So which element should we focus on when deciding whether Star Wars is a fantasy or a sci-fi work? What should we prioritize? The question many not matter on its own, but it we were asked to shelf the DVDs in a library (lol), label them for a streaming service, or sell the movies to an audience, the question becomes a little more substantial. If we were advertising the movies, would we call them a fantasy? Space fantasy, perhaps. Science-fantasy, maybe. At least streaming services may allow us to label them "sci-fi/fantasy," whereas physical spaces like libraries may force us to pick between a "fantasy" and "sci-fi" shelf (this example is obviously more applicable to books).
The other side of the coin, at least in my opinion, is the MCU. I'll admit that I muddied this choice by choosing to represent the entire MCU as a whole rather than a single movie. My students were angry with me about this. "Iron Man is sci-fi and Doctor Strange is fantasy," they'd say (paraphrased). I did do this on purpose, and not just because I found it funny (but not not because I found it funny).
Tumblr media
The MCU as a whole pushed my students (and Tumblr) to consider the line between fantasy and sci-fi. Unlike with Star Wars, despite the clearly fantastical elements of MCU such as the Infinity Stones and the presence of literal gods (who are aliens actually?), most people leaned towards sci-fi with the MCU. Not as many people commented on this post as Star Wars, suggesting less passion for their stance, but here's some rationales:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I like the comment, "Magic alone does not equal fantasy" (thank you @yourimjustusingthisforstuffposts). Let's return to the list we started with:
The presence of anything unreal
Structure
Setting
Common stereotypes/characters/features
Style/mood
Unlike Star Wars, there's less of a fantasy mood to the MCU, one could argue. Perhaps one of the most convincing reasons for this, I'd say, is that the MCU itself seems to distance itself from fantasy--it often tries to explain away the fantastic with science-y type explanations, even if they are often pretty bullshit. It leans more heavily into the sci-fi elements it has. I would argue that American-originated mainstream media targeting adults tends to try to explain away magic, and Ursula Le Guin also argues something similar in "Why Are Americans Afraid of Dragons?" But that's for a different post.
Also of interest in terms of the sci-fi/fantasy debate, here are the results for Homestuck and Gundam:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
These works follow the same pattern as Star Wars and the MCU in many regards. Gundam has few of the elements most people would consider fantasy, and Homestuck has many fantasy elements but presents them in a "the is a video game" sort of sci-fi shell.
A number of the other works I included in the polls were meant to be distractors; the Matrix and Ready Player One have fantasy elements, but those elements are largely a result of technologies that are supposedly (or presented as) plausible. Richard Mathews in the book Fantasy: The Liberation of Imagination cites author of fantasy and sci-fi Orson Scott Card to define the difference between sci-fi and fantasy: "If the story is set in a universe that follows the same rules as ours, it's science fiction. If it's set in a universe that doesn't follow our rules, it's fantasy" (4). By that definition, neither of these works are strongly fantasy, and generally, most people agreed as much (72.9% of Tumblr said RP1 is not really or not at all fantasy, and 76.7% said the same for The Matrix). It was also a distractor, as it fits squarely in the horror genre, and 72.2% of Tumblr users agreed. My students did have a small debate about It and Stranger Things (more fantasy than It but arguably still horror-adjacent), which brings us to the most liberal stance on fantasy: anything fake is fantasy.
The stance that anything remotely unreal belongs in the fantasy genre is not common and doesn't represent the majority, but the faction is large enough to deserve notice. I had several students who argued this point. Looking through the polls, every single work had somebody who voted "Yes: Quintessential Fantasy," with the lowest percentage belonging to Ready Player One at .8% of 118 votes. Some of these votes may come from trolls, but discussions I've heard make me believe that there are people who voted honestly this way. Yes, on Cars, Stephen King's It, Pokemon--my students had Spongebob as a choice in their polls, and for some, it was quintessentially fantasy. To be clear, I'm not stating that this position is factually incorrect, as there is distinct subjectivity to this debate. It's just somewhat impractical as a categorization criteria. For that reason, I find it pretty funny.
Cars, Pokemon, and Looney Tunes (and Spongebob) were chosen for these polls precisely because they are unlike stereotypical fantasy but do include decidedly fantastical elements. For instance, cars cannot actually talk. The line between "is it fantasy because it's not real" and "is it fantasy because it follows fantasy conventions" comes out clearly with these works.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
It's not surprising that Pokemon skewed towards fantasy, as it has the uplifting tone of fantasy, the journey element, and stereotypical fantasy stuff like gods and fairies (in a very Pokemon way). It's also not surprising that Looney Tunes skewed towards not fantasy, as the fantastical elements are generally used for slapstick comedy, and there doesn't tend to be a single overarching story to connect all of the episodes--it's more skit comedy than traditional fantasy.
Tumblr media
But the results for Cars is singularly hilarious. No other work had "No: It's not at all fantasy in any way" as the top result. Even It and The Matrix are more fantasy than Cars according to Tumblr. That's objectively funny.
Cars is, arguably, more suitably described as action/adventure than fantasy, and if we replaced the cars with people, it would likely not be considered fantasy whatsoever. But it does contain the fantastic in that the cars are cars. Note that 4.4% of people did vote for it being quintessentially fantasy. My students got stuck in a raging debate on Cars for a shockingly long time, and feedback suggests that this is fan favorite work to discuss in terms of defining fantasy genre. I did not expect this when I chose it for the polls, but I'm glad I did.
Scholars have their own definition of fantasy, of course. Scholars also note many of the same criteria people used when making their own choices about what is and is not fantasy. My students did not all agree with the scholarly definition of fantasy, nor did they all agree that fantasy should be so neatly boxed into the genre. There's a lot to be said about that. I'm not going to say it here, though. I'm tired of writing, and I'm going to save the next part for Substack unless I get enough feedback to post here about it.
Let me know if you'd like the follow up (or just check out the Substack if that's your cup of tea--except there's nothing on it yet).

Deep Dive into Harrys Most Popular Claim by u/Nervous-Spinach2046
Deep Dive into Harry’s “Most Popular” Claim I have just about enough of the “Harry was the most popular member of the royal family” trope. Sure, he had his glory days, after he left the military and the palace had to find something for him to do after the series of reputational disasters in his young adulthood – coke bust, the uniform row, naked Vegas partying, tumbling into the gutter after a night out – the first engagements he did as a working royal were successes riding on the “cheeky chappie” persona crafted by the palace PR machine that took advantage of the less formal presentation he displayed as the second son of the then heir.  So I took a deep dive into the polls conducted at the time to see how much was actual poll data and how much was PR puff, and here are my findings.Harry’s popularity peaked in some periods in 2014, 2017, and 2018. The YouGov polling data available is regrettably incomplete as it left out a large chunk between June 2013 and November 2017. In the YouGov poll data I could find, Harry was the most popular/more popular than Queen Elizabeth II only in ONE (1) poll, in November 2017. Harry got a net positive rating of 70% while the Queen got 67%. (Incidentally, William scored 69%.)https://ift.tt/sqnpfDt poll most cited in news articles was the one conducted by Newsweek/YouGov in September 2014, which was bizarrely centred on Catherine a year after she gave birth to George. In that poll, Harry was named by 20% of respondents (British, total: 2,099) as their favourite royal, with QEII coming second at 17%.https://ift.tt/LZDV5j6 a poll conducted by Ipsos in March 2018, Harry received the same favourability rating as QEII (23%) among over 20,000 respondents in 28 countries. The Queen was the most liked in ten countries, while Prince Harry is the most popular in eight. Interestingly, Catherine was named as the most liked in the US. Meanwhile, William was found to have the most positive reputation around the world (43%), ahead of the Queen.https://ift.tt/coQGfZp of the reports also misinformed, with others citing no sources at all. For example, the NBC News report that called Harry the most popular was based on this January 2018 Ipsos/MORI poll, where 62% named William as their favourite royal and 58% named Harry, but NBC wrote that Harry came out on top with 43% and William 30%, which was inaccurate. Some of the reports on the 2018 poll also overlooked the fact that the Queen and Harry had the same score, but only named Harry as the most popular.That also highlights another finding. During my research, I found data that demonstrated William consistently scored higher than Harry, and even the Queen, in favourability ratings for YEARS. But you don’t hear him or his PR banging on about him being the most popular. He seems much more modest in his approach.https://ift.tt/dHga5AU Perhaps it’s because Harry has nothing else but a couple of glimpses of glory.Of course, it’s all gone now. His favourability ratings in both the UK and the US are in the dumps. He scored 30% and ranked 14th (behind Eugenie, and the Duke and Duchess of Kent) in the most recent 2025 Q1 YouGov poll in the UK and a net positive rating of 35% with Americans in a YouGov poll done for The Times in April 2025. I’m pretty sure the numbers would be even more disastrous in the polls done after his BBC “Waaagh 2.0” interview.*Sources in the comments post link: https://ift.tt/dpNhLlW author: Nervous-Spinach2046 submitted: May 11, 2025 at 07:38AM via SaintMeghanMarkle on Reddit disclaimer: all views + opinions expressed by the author of this post, as well as any comments and reblogs, are solely the author's own; they do not necessarily reflect the views of the administrator of this Tumblr blog.
