literally how are you doing the gradient text thing. i need to know.

✨ Snappy's Gradient Text Tutorial

You might have seen me use gradient text in a few of my artworks, and it is a great tool to make a posts tand out! I learned from this post, but find some of the information outdated, so I am making a tutorial of my own!

To my knowledge, this is only possible via desktop mode* (mobile method at end), but not the app, as access to the HTML function is necessary. Alongside that, you need access to a text color fader! There's a few options out there, but I use:

Patorjik's Text Color Fader

Let's get to the tutorial!

Have the text you want to turn into a gradient ready and copy it to your clipboard.

2. Open the text color fader and paste your text into the box labeled "your message".

3. For the most basic gradients, you may ignore the boxes on the right. The leftmost boxes allow you to choose between preset colors or making your own colors.

Tip: if you are making a gradient for something such as art, I reccoment grabbing a few hex codes from the image to use for your gradient. This allows you to have control over your colors. You may also save a pallet if you want to use it again

4. When you are happy with your colors, generate your text.

5. You will be brought to this page. If you are happy with the colors, click "select all" and copy the HTML to your clipboard.

TIP: check your text against both a dark and light background to ensure it will be readable to viewers on dark and light mode. If it is not you can tweak the colors by choosing "create new fade".

6. Open Tumblr again and open your post. At the top right there is a grear icon. Click the icon and scroll down to the text editor. Change the setting from "rich text" to "HTML"

7. When you move to HTML, your post will look very different! In the HTML, your goal is to find the text you want to replace in the code.

TIP: If you can't find it, use "Ctrl + F" to open the keword search function and it will highlight your word.

8. Highlight your plain text, right click it, and paste your HTML from Patorjik into the space.

TIP: The HTML is a confusing mess to look at. Click the "preview" tab to check if your code worked

9. You should see a gradient when you swicth modes!

If the HTML broke your formatting, you can edit it in the preview mode. Once you have done a gradient a couple of times this process is very easy and takes LESS than two minutes. It looks intimidating but after you get the hang it is very achievable! I believe in you guys being able to do it. Happy gradient texting for you guys!

*EDIT: It is possible via mobile through the method of entering your account on a web browser and putting it on computer mode, then following the same process. Reportedly it is less comfortable but it works, thank you to chocokeyboard for letting me know!

Explained: Why Red Bull swapped Liam Lawson and Yuki Tsunoda

Lawson’s disastrous Australian GP weekend, in which he failed to clear Q1 after a solid, if unspectacular, Friday practice had Marko already pressing the panic button to have Lawson swapped out immediately. With Lawson’s head already drooping, the Chinese Grand Prix weekend did little to assuage the issues. Not only was he unable to find pace, grip, or confidence, but his demeanour had become concerning – the normally quite chipper and upbeat Kiwi had become somewhat despondent and morose, with one source revealing Lawson had spent most of his weekend apologising to anyone present about his lack of competitiveness. With the seat having been up in the air between Lawson and Tsunoda just over three months ago, Lawson’s rapid change of mental state meant the scales tipped back firmly in Tsunoda’s direction. This was despite Lawson’s social media use being restricted by the team following his announcement of his drive due to the extent of the negativity shown towards him by various fanbases. A source has indicated to PlanetF1.com that the feeling in the camp was that it was a little too much, too soon, for Lawson – the reality of stepping up as a rookie to race alongside F1’s current talisman, Max Verstappen, under the weight of expectation and the pressure of delivering when his predecessors had not, got to him in ways that weren’t foreseen. While the RB21 is undoubtedly a tricky beast, as Lawson made clear by his reveal of how he was struggling to get the car into what is a very narrow operating window, the Kiwi is understood to have been quite open about the fact that he also was not driving to the best of his abilities. Lawson, whose youthful confidence in his own abilities has now had to give way to a more humbling position, has taken a serious career blow, and it will be a devastating period of time for someone who has never had their abilities in doubt before. But it’s key to note that the journey isn’t over for Lawson – it’s in his hands from here, with Racing Bulls a likely home for the foreseeable. After all, referring back to the word “rotation” as was mentioned in the press release, what does Red Bull do if Tsunoda meets with the same struggles?

Chat I need forbidden knowledge about queer identities, specifically sapphic and lesbian alligned, please grace me

Lesbian is non-men loving non-men, right? Encompassing women, nonbinary folk and genderfluid folk, so on so worth. And sapphic is specifically WLW? FEEL FREE TO CORRECT ME IF IM WRONG !!

my question is, does it still count as lesbian or sapphic if the person they like is a girlboy? It doesn't REALLY count as non-man, because they ARE a guy that just happens to also be a girl, but they ARE a girl either way?? If you get me

…so I’ve made some connections

(spoilers for all of TMA and TMAGP (as of Episode 15))

Lady Mowbray seems to have a lot of visual similarities to depictions of Scylla from Greek mythos. A woman of violent power with hounds at her hips and a taste for human flesh. The resemblance is uncanny, even with the added flavor of her being a capital-L Lady.

It’s interesting to me to see how the “fear powers” we’ve been introduced to so far in Protocol’s universe seem to have connections with Odyssey antagonists.

- Lady Mowbray aligns with Scylla

- The Sea (the Vast/Buried amalgamation from Ep. 11) aligns with Poseidon/the ocean (or possibly the Sirens)

- Mr. Bonzo aligns with Polyphemus

- The tree from Ep. 3 and the snakes from Ep. 14 align with Circe

- Needles seems to align well with Charybdis

- The starving crowd from Ep. 8 aligns with the Lotus Eaters (or possibly the Sirens)

Heck, even the Man on the Screen from Ep. 5 could align with the Oracle and the traveling merchant (responsible for the violin in Ep. 4 and (probably) the dice in Ep. 9) could align with Hermes (though I would hesitate to call either the Oracle or Hermes antagonists). Which leaves Ink5oul, the volunteers in Ep. 7, and the gambling app from Ep. 13 without any solid equivalents.

To be fair, I think basing all of TMAGP’s antagonists on a single epic may be too small-scale and isn’t enough for a solid theory, but the connections are interesting to dissect 👀

Sooo there’s this awesome library app called Libby, and basically it gives you access to digital books for whatever library you have a card for.

Anyway, what I’m getting at is that you can share cards, so theoretically you can have access to any and all libraries, anyone wanna share cards to increase our access to books? I have two I can share right now, one is really good, the other has limited books.

random hc but. crowley being a plague doctor in the 16th/17th century bc he's supposedly "tempting people into death" but he can never, ever bring himself to actually do that so he ends up soothing their pain as best as he can and comforting them in their last moments. one night, after he held a little girl's hand as she passed away, he sits down at the banks of the river thames, with his plague mask discarded on the dirt, and he starts out over the water with tears in his eyes, wondering what the fuck is actually the point? it's not the first time he's asked himself the question nor the first plague he witnessed but, here, now after personally witnessing hundreds of deaths every day, he really wonders what actually is the point of him? why does he exist and why should he keep existing. why does he get to live when so many others don't? how is that fair? how is any of it fair? that's how aziraphale finds him, as he just got back from an assignment somewhere or other and hears crowley is in town, so he discreetly looks for him and finds him there, sitting in the dirt, now with his head in his hands, his shoulders silently shaking and is obviously immediately worried but doesn't know how to comfort him or what's allowed so he just sits beside crowley and watches him try to pull himself together. aziraphale's heart breaks, he put what happened together from the mask and the robes and he obviously knows about the bubonic plague but was convinced it was hell's doing and couldn't have even imagined crowley was out there everyday, helping people under the guise of hurting them. is he surprised? no, of course not but it still hurts to see crowley like this. but he's afraid to cross their unspoken rules so he quietly waits crowley out. he watches the water and doesn't dare look at crowley as he lifts his head and takes a few shaky breaths in. after a few minutes of breathing, crowley croaks out "her name was mary" and nothing else, and aziraphale understands, god he understands. it's one of the things they never speak about after it happens but aziraphale can't forget the night he sat with crowley for hours, till the sun came up, as he cried about a death of one little girl. he holds it close to his chest and never, ever forgets.

Don't be no fool

Holding on to the things that hurt you most

A ball and chain around your feet

Smelling nostalgia defeat

And when you were young

With fleeting feet

Dancing away

Always in the flow

Always in the beat

And like lights show

Yourself you could be

Free from all worries

You've come so far

Got a bright little star

Shining the way

So keep hiding that pearl

Don't live in that shadow

All our words are lost

In the wind and all my love

Goes to perish

Anything I do, if I could help you

I'll try and not hurt you

Don't be no fool

I know you're not no fool

It is you, it is you, it's what is most of me and you

I feel for you, in letting go

Be sure it's not for show and tell

But my words and my gestures

Just like piss in the wind

And keep on getting wet

So I won't be no fool

I won't let you hurt

I won't be no fool

I do

I do

I do

I do

How do you feel about eebies?

I... knew this existed, but had absolutely no clue a term had even been made let alone that. But that's beside the point. Personally, I think it's fascinating. I'd love to study such an occurrence... Imagine all the knowledge that could be gained from more in-depth study on them! Imagine all that could be done with it! There's so many possibilities, it would be glorious! Oh, but I've never seen one personally before... There's only even been one instance of something like that occurring here, far as I'm aware... He should've taken the opportunity to experiment with it further, that's what he should've done, I say- but alas, that's just how it is, I suppose.
