An Introduction to the Beta Editor

Hello all! I’ve gotten some feedback that the tutorials on using the new Beta editor and xKit Rewritten has been confusing a few people, so I wanted to make my own! I’ll try to cover everything below, but if something isn’t clear or you need extra help, let me know please! This post is gonna be pretty long, but I sectioned it up so hopefully you can find what you need with ease.

Step 1. Switching to Beta

You very well may be able to skip this part, because all new blogs are automatically switched to the newer editor. But if you’re still using an older blog, don’t worry, it’s easy! There should be a big purple button in the corner, pretty hard to miss. Should look like this!

Go ahead and hit “Let’s go!” and, well... let’s go!

Step 2. Getting to Know Beta

The Beta editor is very, very different from what we’re all used to. But really, it’s kind of intuitive in a lot of ways. You have to know a lot less shortcuts. Whenever you highlight your text, you’ll see this little guy pop up:

Now, from left to right, here’s what we’re looking at: strikethrough, bold, italics, small text, link in text, and colored text. Most of your keyboard shortcuts should still work (I can’t speak for all computers, but the shortcut for small text no longer works for me with the Beta editor), but we also have handy-dandy buttons now, too! We also have the 'Regular' drop down menu, which opens this:

This one is pretty self explanatory, and it shows what the text will look like if you select that option. 

Step 3. Finer Details

I’m still personally getting used to a lot of the smaller details that come with the Beta editor, but here are some that I’ve learned! Hopefully I’ll be adding to this list when more troubleshooting comes into my realm of knowledge.

Auto-Readmores: For whatever reason, Tumblr has taken to cropping any posts over a certain length by itself? Annoying, but this is something you can toggle on/off in your Dashboard Settings!

Editing Tags: This isn’t something that needs to be fixed, but it was big news to me! Instead of having to delete your tag completely when you’ve made a typo, you can just edit your post and edit the tag! Handy!

Links on Gifs: This isn’t a bad thing, it’s just new, different, and weird. But if you dislike it, there is a way to stop it from happening! It’s just a manual task. When you copy and paste a gif into your reply, you’ll see three little images on it. We’re going to click on the circled one below.

That’ll open up a link box, with a link to your gif. Just backspace that, hit the ‘Done’ button, and boom! No more link at the bottom of your gif!

Step 4. xKit Rewritten

I know what a lot of people’s main concern is: cropping replies. This is how we get to that point. The first step is going to be to download the newest iteration of xKit. You do not have to uninstall your old one to do this, they coexist on purpose! New xKit and xKit Rewritten have different features, so I’ve found it best to have both and utilize all the features! 

xKit rewritten is a Chrome extension, and it can be found at this link! Just follow the instructions on that page to install it. Once it’s all good and installed, it’ll be found next to your other extensions, or by the URL bar on your browser window. Looks like this!

Now you have xKit Rewritten!

Step 5. Cropping Replies

Alright, this is where the money is. Just like with regular xKit, you have to toggle on the setting that allows you to cut replies down. Once you click on that purple X icon, you’ll see a drop down with lots of options. I’ve underlined the one we’re looking for right now, "Trim Reblogs."

Once you toggle that little switch on, you can go ahead and start replying. If you’re replying to a starter, then there is no need to worry about this feature. You have nothing to crop, so don’t worry! But if you’re replying to an active thread, here’s what you’re gonna do. Type out your reply, format it however you want, and then draft it. Then we’re gonna go into our drafts.

Here’s my thread with three tiers to it! The standard is two replies per post, and that’s what a lot of people like to stick to. So let’s make that happen! If you’ll notice at the bottom of that draft, there’s a scissor icon. I drew an arrow to it in the photo above. We’re gonna click on that.

And that icon brings this up! You’ll see it says “Select trail items to remove,” and it shows the trails separately. “Trails” are each individual reblog, and of course, we only want two of those, not three. This is really easy to fix! We’re just gonna select that top “trail,” aka the first reply in the thread, and hit the “Trim!” button.

And once we’ve done that, the first “trail” is gone! You just have the two more recent replies on the post, and you’re good to reblog it!

The one caveat of this is that you can no longer edit parts of other people’s replies, so you can’t format the posts to your heart’s content like we’re used to. A downside for sure, but so far, this isn’t something there’s a fix for. Hopefully in the future, xKit will figure that out for us!

Step 6. That’s All!

Once you have all that down, you’re a master of the Beta editor and a master of xKit Rewritten! Tumblr staff has mentioned phasing out the Legacy editor all together in the future, so it appears this will be our new reality. It is worth it to mention that the Beta editor is still, well, in beta, so it is subject to change. If it does and we get even more features or work-arounds, I’ll be sure to come back and edit this post! Until then, if you have any questions, please let me know! I am here to help!

xoxo, Kirby

source of inspo/vibes. currently thinking about being in a club with ellie, or no, meeting her in a club on the dance floor.

this nameless stranger strides over to you, while you're feeling yourself as the strobe lights shine, the music's vibrations echoing through the air, shaking the floor. sweaty bodies smushed together, the air stuffy and suffocating, so thick you could hold it in your palm. a space clears in the crowd, and you feel two hands land on your hips, and upon glancing down you're met with gleaming rings and tattooed slender digits, the stranger's front bumping against your swaying ass.

turning around to look, your jaw almost drops to the core of the earth. taking in her features, the wispy strands of copper locks, petite pink lip taken between her teeth, emerald eyes blazing with something you couldn't name, staring directly into your soul. this eye contact feels like nothing you've ever experienced before, a wordless attraction passing between two souls, telepathically communicating the desire. you feel her grip on your hips tighten, and you grind back against her harder.

she leans forward, her chest pressing against your back, velvety smooth voice tickling your ear with a small grunts escaping her lips. the coil of want grows inside you, and you take it upon yourself to grasp one of her hands, and manually move it to rest on your breast, giving permission to be felt up. and she takes the chance, shaky breaths haunting you, traveling straight to your burning core. she squeezes, and you lean your head back while she plays with your flesh.

now it's only the two of you in the hall, feeling the rhythm in your veins, the thumping of your hearts synching up the longer you dance together. it was so intimate, yet lewd, the way she was groping at you, but you would stay here forever if you could. she nips at your neck, suckling at the sensitive skin, coaxing needy shudders from you, your knees close to buckling completely, but you know she'd catch you.

you're struggling to hear the music over the rushing of blood in your ears, and the growing ache between your legs. so you turn harshly to face her, roughly grab her by the collar and tug so you're next to her ear, and whisper-yell your greatest wish, "bathroom."

OKAY SO. my personal gameplay breakdown hehehe. part 1 of uhhh idk. this is very casual yall. N E WAYS this is veronica "ronnie" williams

PLEASE help. My mother called me in hysterics a few days ago because her cat wont eat or sleep. She was just barely able to afford to take him to the vet for antibiotics but she can't afford further tests or treatments for him. She has been sick and heartbroken for days and I am so badly worried for her. Please donate or boost this if you can, I am getting desperate here.

There had been a time when she had been well loved by highborn and commons alike, when they had cheered her as the Realm’s Delight. Many a young lord and noble knight had sought her favor then…though how many would still fight for her, now that she was a woman wed, her body aged and thickened by six childbirths, was a question none could answer.

I fucked around a lot w rake brushes on this one and I'm not sure about them, still. However, book Nyra! I've been reading fire & blood (to keep myself from rereading asoiaf, mostly) and if there is One thing GRRM does very well is making you forget that the characters live in a hellish lovecraftian world by distracting you with mundane politics and misogyny. Or maybe the misogyny is part of that, who knows. Wondering if I will have the time or the willpower to also do book Alicent

Thinking about post break-up steddie where Eddie left Hawkins to try and make it with his band.

Steve is in a bigger city - visiting Robin? Looking at apartments? Going to a gay bar or a queer book store or something? Sure, yeah, one of those. What matters is that there's a guy handing him a business card, asking if he's ever modeled before. The guy is name dropping gay magazines. The kinds Eddie had to pull from under his mattress to show Steve. The kind of magazine that ended on the floor when Eddie and Steve got more interested in each other than the pages. [See this Honcho archive for magazine reference 👀 Xxx]

(After: Eddie is picking up clothes off the floor, Steve poses seductively on the bed, swinging his bent knee back and forth slowly. "You think I'm hot enough to be one of those guys?" Eddie looks up. "One of them?", he swings the t-shirt in his hand over his shoulder so his hands are free to frame Steve on the bed, squinting an eye and turning his head this way and that. "Baby, you'd be the guy on the cover! You'd be the centerfold." He gets down on the bed and knee walks his way to straddling Steve. "You'd be the reason for a second print. You'd be the reason the pages stick together-" He mimes jerking off over Steve's face, who laughs and slaps his hand away-)

Anyway that's where Steve recognizes the name of the magazine from (maybe the guy waited for that look of recognition before actually handing his business card over lol) and he- accepts it without really thinking about it.

But then he starts thinking about it. And keeps thinking about it.

Eddie wants to pretend their relationship never happened? Wants to forget everything he left behind in Hawkins? Well, fuck him. He's going to remember what he left behind. Who he left. Let him see what he's missing.

Which is how Steve becomes a gay adult model out of spite.

I don't know how Steve making a list of gay porn mags and trying to model for each and every one of them gets them back together but it does and they live happily ever after lol. At some point.

'they were medically vulnerable' doesn't mean it was inevitable they would get the virus

'they were medically vulnerable' doesn't mean their life didn't matter

'they were medically vulnerable' doesn't mean their death isn't sad

they were medically vulnerable' is not an explanation for how or why they got COVID, because existing disabilities and conditions are not COVID and do not cause COVID

'they were medically vulnerable' doesn't mean that there was nothing that could have been done on others' part to prevent them from getting it

'they were medically vulnerable' doesn't mean they deserved to die or should have died

'they were medically vulnerable' is not there so you can feel relieved you aren't like them while doing nothing to protect people like them

'they were medically vulnerable' didn't make it any less important for people to try to protect them from infection than it is to protect you, your life is not worth more or less than theirs was

'they were medically vulnerable' does not mean they were fucking expendable

(seriously some of you sound downright genocidal about this topic and it makes me want to lie down on the floor and sob)

If I didn't have the fanbase that I did, I wouldn't be on stage it's as simple as that. They really give me the fire in the belly, confidence to do that. And I hope that because of that mutual benefit, they take a lot in that, they take a lot of pride in that. They see me feeling good on stage, and enjoying the show like I will tonight, that's literally all thanks to them.
