Higuchi: ❔❔❔❔❔

About Account Closures, Banxiety, etc

Good morning, Flight Rising Tumblr!

I posted a reblog not that long ago (this morning) responding to banxiety concerns. It appears to have been eaten by Tumblr, which happens; but I know a lot of you are concerned and there's a lot of misinformation and misunderstandings flying about. So I'm going to go ahead and repost this directly to the tags so anyone with concerns or anxiety can see this <3 (06:47 Flight Rising server time: Title edited to be clearer.)

—————

Oh dear, there's been quite a misunderstanding. What you've described here isn't true and likely to send our players into a banxiety panic. I'm sure that's not what you meant to do and I'm happy to clarify where I can!

We're fully aware people can change physical locations throughout the day which means their IPs will change. Some folks play or check in from home, school, work, a friend's house, etc. That means their account will log multiple IP addresses on any given day, sometimes within a thirty minute period.

Example: Player accesses on their school network —> School lets out —> They access via mobile data on transit —> Player then logs in on their home network

Closing accounts for having multiple IP addresses associated with them—especially in the mobile era!—would be wrong. And, frankly, absurd.

Account closures are based on activity data and reviewed by staff. Do we always get it 100% right? No, of course not. We're human. We make mistakes. Sometimes we do close an account in error and upon review, reopen the account. And sometimes it even means an account we're almost certain is cheating stays open a bit longer, because of that chance we're wrong.

Unless by "moving stuff over" you mean funneling to a new account, because our Terms of Use are clear that players agree to register only one account per individual. Multiple accounts provide a player not only with multiple opportunities for dailies and Roundsey, but access to various Flight Forums (including private Flight Dominance planning!) not just their original Flight, ways around our block feature, and the means to scam players during trades, giveaways, etc. The above ranges from cheating and gaining an advantage over others to outright harassment.

Now, there is also friend and family member funneling, where someone stops playing for themselves and just starts sending the earnings from their dailies or festivals to their friend or family member. That's still cheating and we've been clear about that for some time now.

Finally, we don't discuss account actions with third-parties and we don't discuss them publicly for privacy, security, and safety reasons. Even when the player who lost their account takes to the forums or social media with claims that are untrue, exaggerated, or minimize/downplay the violation that lead to the closure of their account. Unless they've taken the extra step to alter a screenshot as "proof" we said or did something we didn't do, we can't engage with their claims. This means the community will only see one side of the story, one version of events.

And as a note for anyone following along and concerned about their account, we do have an article in our Knowledge Base that explains account penalties: Account Penalties Explained.

I hope this helps clarify the confusion and concerns surrounding account closures! You don't have to worry about logging multiple IPs, moving, playing with your friends or family, etc. <3

I've seen many posts about people missing how common asks used to be so I have been trying to send about an ask a week. Now I send this ask first anytime I follow someone as I really don't want to bother anyone, so I'd love to know if you enjoy receiving asks and if so what kind of asks. Not having energy for asks or being comfortable with them is perfectly okay.

The categories I have in my ask notebook that I file under are in colour. Please feel free to make your response as long as you want or private (the asker cannot directly respond to private responses).

Self, Job/Work: please let me know what you are comfortable with from eh idk just ask it to nothing personal at all.

Baggishield/Tolkien, Dragon Age, Johnlock/Sherlock, ineffable spouses, other fandom: Please let me know what fandoms. I think my main fandoms and ships are Bagginshield/The Hobbit, Sherlock/Johnlock, Dragon Age Inquisition, {Pippin/Faramir Merry/Eowyn}/The Lord of the Rings and I dip my toes in a few that I currently can't remember but ships I don't engage with the canon of at all are: Good Omens but only for Crowley/Azirapheal, Stranger Things but only for Steve/Eddie , The Witcher but only for Geralt/Jaskier.

OC's, art/drawing, their writing, blog specific only

Story snippets ideas and prompts: Do you like receiving them?

Pets: I'd love to know all about them

Garden and Hobbies: What type of gardening and/or hobbies?

Like being tagged in things: If so what kinds of things?

*Asks are sent for fun, no pressure to answer.

This is a great way to meet, thanks! :D

Self, Job/Work: I'm happy to receive asks, but I may be vague about certain answers if I think I need to be. That said, I'm usually pretty open book.

Fandom stuff:

I do like Tolkien, The Hobbit, Bagginshield, and LOTR. I don't really have strong opinions on ships and will consume whatever floats my interest for that fandom. (Haven't gotten into Silmarillion yet.)

Although I have seen quite a bit of Sherlock, I wouldn't consider myself an active member of the fandom. I would passively consume it if I happened upon it.

Other fandoms I'm into would be Big Wolf on Campus, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Revolutionary Girl Utena, The Almighty Johnsons, Sailor Moon, Young Hercules... Critical Role (tho I'm very behind in C3). Probably others I can't think of right now.

OC's, art/drawing, their writing, blog specific only: Happy to get asks about any of the above. I don't draw much lately so I haven't really posted art to tumblr, but I don't mind drawing things from time to time. I recently bought a tablet I need to figure out. I used to write a lot. I'm still recovering from burnout on that, but I'm sure I'll pick it up again. I have some fanvids up. I do have sideblogs (see my pinned post) but I wouldn't be upset if you asked my main about a topic one of the sideblogs handles.

Story snippets ideas and prompts: Always happy to receive.

Pets: Sure! I have two black cats.

Garden and Hobbies: I don't garden, but I guess I have hobbies. I play video games, and I'm in a competitive club in a really cute mobile app game (we were global #1 in the last club event). I run fandom spaces on Facebook and Discord. In theory, I write fiction. I do video edits occasionally. I hoard media. I've been reading a lot this year (physical books). I do some volunteer stuff here and there.

Like being tagged in things: Love being tagged in tag games/ask games/etc., picrews and the like, or on any fandom things you think I'd like. :)

♥ info ♥

about me: hi, im rasp! im a lesbian that uses any pronouns :} im a feeder, an fa, and a new feedee ! i'm 21, and i'd rather minors begone from this blog due to its adult nature. i plan to reblog both other people's art that i enjoy, and also post my own art as well! i don't really want this blog to have much of a reach, as it is mostly for... personal use. but if you do wish to see some beautiful fat people, go ahead and follow!

EDIT: i do not intend to engage with anyone via dm, as i am apprehensive about talking to strangers directly online, especially in sexual contexts. if you wish to ask about preferences, or chat in general about feedism, sending an ask would be preferred! if an ask doesnt get answered, i either haven't checked my inbox, or i didnt feel comfortable responding. thank you for your understanding!

tag key:

#wg this post is a part of a weight gain sequence. whether it be just one part of the sequence, or a collection of all of the parts of a sequence, you'll find em all in this tag!

#chubby this post is on the lowest end of the weight spectrum. those that have a bit of a tummy go here!

#plump this post is second lowest on the weight spectrum. those that might have a lot of trouble getting old clothes on go here!

#fat this post is the lower midrange on the weight spectrum. those that have trouble fitting in aisles, doorways, and driver's seats go here!

#big this post is the higher midrange on the weight spectrum. those that have trouble getting around go here!

#unreal this post is the beginning of the highrange of the weight spectrum. those that can barely stand, hardly reach their mouth to feed themself, and get wiped out just trying to roll over go here!

#bus this post is the second highest in the highrange of the weight spectrum. those that are the size of buses or bigger go here!

#info this post contains information either relevant to me or the blog itself. girls don't tend to go here! unless you count me!

(DISCLAIMER:)

i do tend to enjoy posts with mobile feedees a bit more, but its not uncommon for me to enjoy someone at an unreasonable size. this aside, i do not enjoy works with hospital equipment hooked up to people, as anything above the #unreal stage is pure fantasy for me. i'd prefer to keep it lighthearted and heavybodied, so works with that tone of seriousness won't be featured.

on a similar note, posts that feature intoxication (or intox for short) will tend more towards the light side, and often will be more towards weed rather than alcohol, mostly out of personal preference.

posts that feature bimbofication, or the act of dumbing down a feedee, will be incredibly sparse as well. i lean more towards the lucid side, and situations where feedees may not be in the most control because of difficulty thinking all the time tends to rub me the wrong way.

#irl posts will be infrequent, since i don't wish to be disrespectful to any of the beautiful feedees who post themselves. weight spectrum catagorization will not apply to these posts either for the same reasons. remember, this may be a fetish blog, but the comfort of others always comes first.

ai art of any kind will not be featured on this blog! bbw-draw or otherwise won't be posted, i would much rather appreciate the artists who kindly create and share with people like us.

thanks so much for reading! now, let's get to those beautiful big girls !

It looks like for at least some the data has been hidden/not accessible and/or deleted from at least a few databases now. I'll be honest, i'm not 100% how it works. But there have been edits to the og reddit post for updates.

Locking your fics will limit who can see the posts (just registered users), but it can help protect our works.

IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO LOCK ALL YOUR FICS AT ONCE below the cut is a very slap-dash tutorial:

i did this on a desktop but w/ how the site works i just squished my window down to mimic mobile as best as i could, but everything will look the same and be in the same places etc. on mobile or desktop!

Go to the DASHBOARD on Ao3

At the top of the page, under the links for the dashboard, you will see your username, profile picture, and then a few others links just below your username. You will want to click the EDIT WORKS link!

You will go to the EDIT MULTIPLE WORKS page, which will let you make broad changes to multiple fics of your choice. It will be sorted by fandom, then have a check box for each posted work in that fandom.

SELECT THE WORKS YOU WANT TO LOCK, you can lock individual fics, only certain fandoms, or you can use the ALL buttons for either all possible works or individual fandoms. In this example, I'll just be selecting all possible fics I've ever published.

Either at the top or bottom of the page, you'll see links for what you can do with these selected works. Click on EDIT.

You will find yourself in the edit page. You will find the following warning/note at the top of the page; then followed by every fic listed with it's name, fandom, and all associated tags. This might be a pretty long list/scroll depending on how many you have selected.

Scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page, there you will see mass settings you can apply. For this, you can ignore everything else, because all we're looking at is the PRIVACY section of the settings, which is the last box.

To LOCK your works, you'd need the following settings (shown above as well):

VISIBILITY: Only show to registered users WHO CAN COMMENT ON THESE WORKS: Only registered users can comment

Note: Comment moderation is up to you, it doesn't change who can/can't see your works, et cetera.

Note 2: You can click the (?) next to each subsection and get more info.

Once you've changed the settings to your desired prefrence, simply go directly below and click the UPDATE ALL WORKS button.

You'll get a warning to click through, then it will update all of your works and it will return you to the EDIT MULTIPLE WORKS page, with the following notice at the top of the page now:

Check to make sure everything is in order.

Congrats, you've locked all your fics!

AO3 has been scraped, once again.

As of the time of this post, AO3 has been scraped by yet another shady individual looking to make a quick buck off the backs of hardworking hobby writers. This Reddit post here has all the details and the most current information. In short, if your fic URL ends in a number between 1 and 63,200,000 (inclusive), AND is not archive locked, your fic has been scraped and added to this database.

I have been trying to hold off on archive locking my fics for as long as possible, and I've managed to get by unscathed up to now. Unfortunately, my luck has run out and I am archive locking all of my current and future stories. I'm sorry to my lovelies who read and comment without an account; I love you all. But I have to do what is best for me and my work. Thank you for your understanding.

(readmore cuts off here btw)

Sources + some other versions of my moodboards for the Bering&Wells meets S.H.I.E.L.D AU, plus a bit of background info! Made for the AU day of beringandwellsappreciationweek, thanks for the idea @galactic-pirates ! :D

I like the above one best because it's just aesthetically pleasing idk xD but it cuts through the w14 image in a kind of weird way because I used the long 1×3 pic on purpose for that so... Didn't turn out to be my final selection bc of that, but it gets the place of honour here!

A bit about the AU:

Honestly, I don't have any clear cut thoughts on this, just many ideas that even contradict each other in parts... Which is why I probably won't write an actual fic for this, but if someone else feels inspired by my idea, feel free to adopt it for yourself!

>>> I'm leaning towards it being a merge instead of a crossover, so warehouse personell in a Marvel-y world, not characters from both worlds. They're still Warehouse Agents, they just have the helicarrier instead of Univille! Or perhaps both, the 'carrier as a mobile unit and the Warehouse to store the masses of artefacts?

If we're vaguely replacing SHIELD characters with Warehouse ones, I think Artie would be the leader (Coulson), Claudia of course the hacker (Skye), Mrs F is Fury... that's where it stops making sense to replace anyone directly

Both Myka and HG work but don't really work as the the pilot and fighter (May), Helena because of Slightly Unhinged vibes, Myka because she could be reluctant to go back in the field after Sam dies on her watch, so she'd have that in common with May... H.G. of course works better as a scientist, but from characteristics she doesn't have a lot in common with the SHIELD ones

>>> On the other hand, a X-over would also be fun!

For starters, Mrs F and Fury and the Regents and the WSC just clashing adsfghjkl

Pete and Tony Stark either getting on great or absolutely despising each other!

Oh, and if we're rly making it Marvel/MCU with all the Avengers characters, Nat and Myka could exchange fighting tips, Clint would steal Helena's grappler to improve an arrow design...

Skye and Claudia would definitely take over the world via computer!

HG could meet Captain America, and bemoan the way they are lost in time together!

>>> Though that brings me to the question: are the Warehouse characters identical to canon, or do their backstories change? I don't want to take Helena's backstory away entirely, she wouldn't be herself if she was just a modern sci-fi woman without the jump forward in time. But maybe she is the equivalent of Captain America in this merge?

Also, I can't decide whether SHIELD should actually exist in some way, or just be replaced by the Warehouse... In canon, it more or less belongs to the FBI, so in this AU the Warehouse could be an even more secret division of the already super secret S.H.I.E.L.D. agency xD

>>> The helicarrier is also definitely problematic (not going into how MCU is problematic in so many ways anyway, bc then we'd still be here tomorrow lol), and I can see the Warehouse regents misusing that power, and that leading to conflict...

More moodboard variants:

This one I also like, kind of more grunge, dark aesthetic... Looks less techy and more like a steampunk-y sci-fi world still in the dangers of an invasion imo

Also I hadn't turned Myka's image yet, and while the original with Maria Hill looks fine as is, somehow the manip just looks weird without tilting her more upright

Aaand a long one:

Image sources:

Myka

Helena

Myka's body (Maria Hill) & background

Helena's background

Warehouse logo

All edits by me :)

If you also want to use SHIELD!Myka and Helena on the Helicarrier, here are the full pics, just credit me/this post if you use them!

I'm pretty sure I still don't have a W13 tag list? On the other hand I actually have a Bering and Wells sideblog @hgwellsmykabering , so if you follow that one you'll probably get all my content anyway :D if someone still wants to get tagged when I post new W13 things, just let me know!

How To Interact With Beta Readers - for Fanfic Authors

I wanted to make posts both for fic authors and beta readers, because I realized in several recent interactions that some helpful unwritten rules of fandom seem to have become lost to people who are new to it.

This isn't meant to be a call-out post against anyone to say 'you did it wrong!' (really, how could anyone be mad if you just didn't know any better), and there aren't even any definite rules for anything - but I just thought these things might be nice to know and helpful to share around. This first part will be @ the authors, the second part is @ the betas.

Asking for a beta reader

When you want someone to look through your fic, whether you ask in a tumblr post, @/helper in a discord server, in the notes of an already posted work or anywhere else, it's important to state both a) what the work that you want betad is and b) what you want from a beta reader.

The facts about the story.

The first most important facts about the story are a) length (in wordcount, as that is the most-used measurement for fanfiction - you can see it below the tags of an ao3 draft, or at the bottom left of a Word document), and b) rating and warnings. No, please don't just ask 'i have a fic for xy ship to beta' - that's nice information, but not helpful for someone who needs to decide whether they a) have the time to work on the length of fic and b) are willing to be confronted with the kind of content you have written.

In addition to that, you should of course also write what fandom, characters and dynamic it is about, because most beta readers are only willing to beta stories they would also usually read for fun. To make sure that the right people find the ask for a beta reader, you best target the post to them, so tag a tumblr post with the fandom and ship etc, and on discord share the request in a server or channel for the fandom, not an unrelated one.

What format is the draft in?

A word document you can send them via e-mail, a copy-pasted text in a direct message, link access to a google docs? Not everyone is comfortable with all of these methods, and you need to figure out one that works for the both of you.

Also, do you want the changes made directly in the text, in comment functions of the document, or as messages to you? If for example you send someone a Word document, and don't want them to change anything directly in your text, but they aren't comfortable working with the comment function there and end up writing you separate messages telling you what page and line the edits are one, that's going to be a lot more work for you to look through than you might have liked, so make sure to communicate it all beforehand and figure out a way that works properly for everyone.

What do you want from your beta?

'Well, to look over the story, duh?' but it's not that easy. Do you want the beta to:

- Only check for spelling and grammar mistakes in comments next to the text, No other suggestions at all because they would make you feel bad about your work/you don't have the time or want to spend the time on editing anything but honest mistakes/ any other reason?

- Grammar and spelling checks but also suggestions for word flow, repetitive words and phrases that could be changed and stylistic things like adding paragraph breaks (which are always nice to have for mobile reading)?

- [same as above] and also point out possible logic flaws and places where you might want to move a scene forward or back, or suggestions to things you could add to the story, with explanations as to why?

- [same as above] and also give suggestions for text you could cut that is unnecessary to the story or interrupting the flow of a scene in the opinion of your beta reader?

- Include nice messages as to what the beta liked best of the fic, or stay completely objective?

- Point out things they subjectively didn't like and would change about the story if they wrote it themselves, or not?

- Make corrections directly in the story, so afterwards you barely need to look at it anymore before you can publish it, or only give suggestions in comments or messages?

All of these are things some people welcome and others find incredibly annoying and/or hurtful! So make sure to communicate exactly what you are looking for. You don't have to do so in your initial public request, but once you have found a potential beta, you should text them the details before giving them access to your fic.

Do not be afraid of cancelling on a beta if you don't think it is going to work out! Whether because they aren't comfortable using the format you like to use, are a language teacher who can't stop correcting the long sentences you choose to keep as a stylistic choice, or just someone you don't vibe with, whether it's before or after they have started beta reading - be kind, but let them know that it just isn't working out, and that you would rather stop now before either of you wastes any more time and effort. If they want you to, you can tell them what you would have liked them to do differently, but don't ask someone to change how they are, and don't give unsolicited criticism, no, not even to a beta reader.

Decide on a time-frame

When are you going to send them the fic? Chapter by chapter over the next days, or the entire work? When do you want or need the work to be beta read? Is it for a challenge or gift exchange and needs to be finished on the same day, or can they wait for the weekend? Even if you don't have a specific deadline, when do you want them to send it back at the latest?

Working with a beta reader

After - or, if you are in for example a google docs at the same time, while - your beta reader does the corrections, you should look at them and decide which corrections you want to keep, and which to disregard. This is entirely your decision, it is your story, you don't need to feel bad if you don't take all of the suggestions for your work, even if you end up only correcting the spelling mistakes and ignoring everything else, it's your decision and this is fine.

If your beta gave suggestions for additional scenes or sentence changes, you can let them know once you have new text for them to correct, but keep in mind that they might no longer have time or energy to beta now, and don't be disappointed if they tell you this or don't reply. They already helped you, and you can always look for a new beta if you feel that your story still needs it.

Crediting your beta reader

Where are you uploading your fic, and how does your beta reader want to be credited? You best talk about this beforehand as well, as some betas only want to work on something when they will get the credit on a platform they are also on.

When posting on tumblr, it is usually expected to @ the person who helped you and write their url or tracked tag in the #s as well, but make sure to ask beforehand, as maybe they don't want other people to know they beta because they don't want to get swamped in work requests/ they don't want their url associated with for example explicit work/ they want you to tag a sideblog for the fandom instead of their main url.

On ao3, you can link to another author's dashboard or profile page (ask which one they prefer) in the notes by first going to the work text - rich text, writing their name, clicking the link symbol, pasting the url, going back to HTML text and cut-pasting the code to the note you want to have it in. You can do the prep work in a new work instead of your actual draft so you won't accidentally cut any of the work text. Again, ask the person beforehand whether they want to be linked there, or just want a nickname or their tumblr url credited.

You can also gift people works on ao3, and while this is in no way a requirement and most beta readers won't ask for it, just about everyone is happy to receive ao3 gifts! You can ask them beforehand if they want that, but as people can accept and refuse gifts on ao3 themselves, you can also let it be a surprise.

If your beta put a lot of work into your fic and wrote parts of it themselves, you can also make them a co-creator of the work on ao3, but only do this if you know and trust the person, as they will gain access to the fic and will be able to edit everything just like you.

Let me know if I missed anything, and I will update the post!

Tips for beta-readers themselves here!

[dapromptexchange]

okay like i'd love to participate in the fill-a-thon but. i literally cannot read your blog. text too tiny. can't participate if i can't.... look for prompts. :c pls take pity on those of us who don't have better-than-20/20 vision lol.

Ah yes, it is a problem! I’m so sorry. It used to be fine and Tumblr went and changed things again...including my ability to edit the page from my iPad 😡 (I also have rubbish eyesight so solidarity 🤜 I’ve made this post extra large so you can hopefully read the reply!)

I can only see what is directly on the edit screen as it doesn’t scroll down so I can’t actually get to any of the options to change text size or the side updates and it really frustrates me. And obviously frustrates you guys, too.

The best I can offer in the meantime is to view the page either through the app or on the mobile view page:

https://www.tumblr.com/blog/view/dapromptexchange

Everything is searchable by pairings, games, themes, characters, etc. Just type what you’re looking for into the search bar and it should come up with all kinds of prompts that are much easier to see.

There’s also the Tags page, but clicking on any link will show you the regular page, thus, small text. But it might give you an idea what you can search for?

I’m also able to reblog prompts that people might be interested in seeing? If someone wants to submit a pairing or a theme and I’ll reblog any prompts from the archive that fit that theme over the next couple days!

And I’ll try get onto updating the regular page and making it more user friendly and visible. I admit I have been lazy 😭 I apologise. I hope I can make it easy as possible for people to participate!

[homuraholic]

Takes on the community feature so far:

Overall, it has been a very positive experience, but there are a few comments I'd like to share.

First. The invite system is a hassle, it's manual so I've had to send invites one by one myself. Something to keep in mind is that I can only send invites to main blogs, so if anyone who has liked and reblogged this post hasn't gotten an invite yet, that may be the reason. It'd be awesome if they created an invite link from which I'd just have to accept people afterwards.

Second. You can only reblog things into the community from a computer's browser. Mobile users can create new posts, but not reblog things into the group yet. Also, in order to reblog something from the group, you can't do it directly from the community page, you have to open the user's post and reblog it for their blog; it'd be nice if they improved that in the future.

Third. There are many things like the community's icon, head banner, description and tags that I can't edit yet. It'd be nice if they included those things as an option in order to include rules, new tags and stuff.

I can see that they're still implementing new stuff on the go trying to improve things, for example I couldn't assign moderators on the first day, but I was able to do it yesterday. Despite all that, it's been a pretty nice experience, being able to interact with members and artists directly with comments, emojis and reactions is something that I appreciate a lot. It's also a very good option for artists themselves to share their art with people from their fandom directly which is pretty nice.

We've been trying to keep everything friendly and sfw, cuz I'd like this to be a positive experience for everyone, so I hope it stays that way in the future.

We already have over 100 members and are still growing, so if anyone wants to experience this new feature themselves, I'll do my best to send you an invite as soon as I can. Feed back is appreciated as well.

The Homura Apologists community was approved.

In the community you'll be able to share posts and art without the risk of it getting lost on people's dashboards. I think this is a very good way for artists to easily reach their target public.

The name of the community is just something I came up with though, you'll be able to share anything PMMM related (art, merch, music, cosplays, etc...) We just gotta keep it family friendly.

You can also comment and react to the posts shared in the community. It's a great way to interact with other people from the fandom!

If anyone wants to join:

send me a dm, like, comment or reblog this post.

Check it out HERE!

Felt like making a post since I've gained quite a lot of new followers on this blog (as well as on my main, most people being the same on both), as well as lots of reblogs which is GREAT too since the fandom here is already way too tiny!!! And I'm aware that I haven't been too active on this side of Tumblr in a long time.

I haven't had the queue running since the last spring, simply because I started to run out of blog to reblog from. I feel like I have already had everything in my blog, and I keep finding older blog and reblogging from those has its own problems. At least when I last time added stuff to my queue and drafts, I had to use the old XKit for adding stuff directly from blogs because using the regular system is nerve-racking. On top of all that, reblogging old posts means the HTML code of those posts looks different from recent posts, which is why adding tags, also, got extremely frustrating. I use quick tags and tag bundles exactly for the reason that I don't need to type every single tag there myself, and that I don't need to open every single post individually for adding tags. Well guess what - old posts did not support the quick tags anymore. It just kept saying there was an error, and I had to type everything down myself. Often several times. (And not tagging just is not an option for me!) Plus, Tumblr often likes/liked (not sure if it's already fixed) to refresh the queue/draft page so that it got just pain in the add to click and edit individual posts only to scroll down the drafts/queue every single time, and then do that like. 70 times in a row. Which is far from fun.

Adding stuff to queue just got too overwhelming. Tumblr freezing my browser when opening several tabs of a blog at once. Then quick tags and tag bundles stopped working and posts breaking because the old HTML code doesn't match the current HTML code. And the queue/drafts refreshing itself every single time cos you can't use quick tags.

But I feel like I need to start going through blogs again. I feel like I owe that to my old as well as new followers. Hopefully adding stuff to the queue won't be as enraging as it used to be. At some point even the beta editor changed somehow and I had to use the old one because in the new one you no longer could arrange images so making gifsets or photosets was impossible. And you can't arrange them in the old one either, unless you open it on the app, but where you sometimes still can't arrange them because the desktop code doesn't match the mobile code. And if you can open them on mobile, then you might not be able to open them on the desktop anymore cos Tumblr says it was created on the app. Besides, this web beta editor still doesn't work perfectly. I wonder if it ever will.

The last issue then is of course: the like-reblog ratios. This is not Instagram. If you only like and never reblog anything, you can be sure that I will block you in an instant. ESPECIALLY if you don't have a blog title and use the default icons. Then I will assume you're either a bot, or "spying us for (dä) content" which is not acceptable, at least not in my eyes. Go make your own content and don't steal what others have worked on hard, sometimes for hours. Which leads us back to like-reblog ratio: reblog art, please. And reblog creations. Reblogging IS NOT reposting, and reblogging is very very very much encouraged! (If you're new to Tumblr, it's that arrows symbol that looks like recycling symbol.) So please please please, reblog creations! Our tiny fandom is already tiny enough so when everyone's here just watching and not sharing and interacting (by reblogging! writing stuff in the tags!), I assure you that the Tumblr fandom WILL die out eventually. In fact it used to be way more active before, and it's been horribly inactive over the past 2-3 years. Also I used to post my art, edits, memes and videos here but recently gave up on that because there's just no interaction whatsoever anymore. So I don't see any point in sharing MY content to others if others don't care to look at it. So, I'm creating for myself and also keeping it all to myself, then. Maybe sharing it to some friends + my Instagram followers since IG seems to treat artists a bit better than Tumblr.

Alright, I guess that's enough. I'll try to get back to keeping this blog active, but finding "new" content is so hard nowadays, and I already explained the problems with the older posts. (I also started school a month ago so that will take some of my time, but I'm still spending time on Tumblr as if my life depended on it so it hasn't affected my Tumblr time that much yet.)

Not to be rude or anything but if you log in tumblr from your phone you can't see where to find some things so it's normal people are requesting y'all gifs that have been made since we cannot access to them directly from pur mobile phones. Anyway, your edits are amazing and I truly appreciate the effort y'all put into making them and I guess that takes a lot of time

thank you for your appreciation <333

alright, i calmed myself a little bit, i’m cool

now regarding the requests that are on the page, the requests that we already made, or the tags. 

There is no need for everyone to send anonymous questions to us regarding those things

if you need links then you can as well ask off-anon

 if you need some clarification on whether or not we made a certain request then you can ask that off-anon

 if you want to know if we plan on making a certain request then you can ask that off-anon

if you are not sure if we made a certain request or if we plan on making a certain request, but in case we didn’t or we don’t plan on making it, and you want it requested as an anon, then you can ask that off-anon and say that you would like to request it as an anon (i will add a sign to the f.a.q. and askbox for those who want to get their answers privately)

in any case, i am now adding links to the mobile description for both requests page and tags page, hopefully this will be better and easier for everyone

"but tumblr gif search suuuuucks i can never find the gif im looking for" this is true! however there are ways you can still give credit!!

first off, you can just write out (GIF by @/whoever) and tag the person. or you could just link their blog or link to the post if you dont want to tag them

or you can add a source to the image directly!

so say i wanted to add this gif to my post but i can't find it in the tumblr gif search:

so when you add an image to a tumblr post and then hover over it with your mouse (or click on it with your finger if you're on mobile) you get four circular icons that show up at each corner of the image:

the top left one (four dots in a square shape) is for moving the picture around on the post, if you had a bunch of pics/gifs and you wanted to put them in a different order, or if you wanted to drag the file above a paragraph of text. you just click and drag (or tap and drag, if you're on mobile) to move it around.

top right (red X) is to delete the image off the post. maybe you added the wrong one. maybe you've decided you don't need the picture at all.

bottom right (three dots in a line) is to add an image description. when you click this, an option to "Update image description" pops up and when you click that, a text box pops up for you to type that in.

BOTTOM LEFT (link symbol) is the one that adds a source to your image. when you click it, this is what shows up:

and then you can copy and paste the url where you got the gif from:

and the final result:

that grey stripe at the bottom of the picture doesnt show up when you're editing the post but it does show up once you've posted. if you click that link, it'll take you to the post where i pulled this gif from

anyway stop stealing gifs!!

reposters would be instantly blocked btw 🙃 this has been a psa ✌️

Reposting: Downloading and saving a gif, then posting it to your blog without credit and claiming it as your own (posts like this where the bottom two gifs are mine and the first one is also someone else's)

Reblogging: using the very convenient reblog button at the bottom of each post that keeps the credit with the original poster and doesn't make you look like an absolute jackass

[sudoscience]

Turns out that is not as easy as I thought it would be. I can't get to the archive on the mobile app, but I also can't edit posts directly on my blog on the desktop site. If I try to edit one, it opens the dashboard??? Why can't I just edit it in place?

And the mass post editor is cool in theory, but it doesn't show me what tags the post already has, and sometimes it's hard to tell what some of these posts even are.

Can you tell what the appropriate tags might be for these posts just from these little snippets? Especially doesn't help if it's, for example, a set of photos—it only shows the first one! And sometimes it won't even show that a post has a photo in it.

I should just, like, pick a random month in my archive and tag all the untagged posts.
