#restore function

[once-more-with-gravitas]

Tumblr Post Restorations is a not-for-profit service founded yesterday to restore the fine posts of [tumblr] dot com. Our technicians have extensive experience in blogging, with certifications in reading old style nested reblogs, recognizing users after url switches, and imagining what could've been there before a community guidelines takedown.

As Tumblr's users and posts continue to age, Tumblr Post Restorations will only become a more and more necessary part of the post preservation process. Donate your time today to ensure beautiful heritage posts tomorrow.

First Ghost doodle page of the year! As I test out a new way of maybe drawing their cloak, based on a headcanon of mine.

im gonna be reallly annoying here for a second grrm shouldve added so much more linguistic diversity to westeros. especially the north and ESPECIALLY north of the wall. also there's no way daenerys's mothertongue would be high valyrian. thank you.

i think ronan lynch has a disproportionate level of carbon emissions and further more has an infinite capacity to stop climate change and has done nothing. how did blue tolerate this i would be at his throat.

So...what do we think of the way lab rats handled Taylor's disability? Personally, I think they did a decent job narratively. They steered away from "this is a sci-fi type of show so we can just 'fix' the disability". The visor Douglas made for her basically functions like a cane would, except its more compact and on her face, but all it does is tell her when an obstacle is in front of her...like a cane would. She's still blind. That doesn't go away. Taylor goes on missions again as the hero she is, even with her disability. She's disabled and she can go on missions.

I say narratively because there were a few comments about "a newbie, a quitter and a blind girl!" and with how Leo wanted the doctors to "fix it", but as far as Leo's comments go, he mostly felt guilty about his actions altering her way of life forever, which it did.

Seriously, what do we think? I'm not physically disabled myself, but I'm taking a class where we talk about this stuff and I was reminded of this Taylor plotline recently. I've been thinking about this all day.

I'm gonna be real, so little of previous games have actually mattered in any way beyond flavor text that I literally could not give less of a shit about this whole debacle. Like it's such a non-issue to me. Idk what games y'all have been playing for 15 years but truly this is the norm. Barely anything carried over from Origins to Hawke and all pretty minor shit, and I genuinely cannot think of anything beyond flavor text carrying over to Inquisition. Oh you could customize Hawke and they can answer a few vague questions with vague bullshit? Cool, presumably that's what the Inquisitor will give us. Like idk guys but I think maybe building up your expectations for a decade has had a detrimental effect on what should be reasonable expectations for a video game that's truly been in development hell for like eight years and wants to be functionably playable to brand new players without alienating them.

Just wanted to say that your whimsy and unironic enjoyment of things continues to be a passive inspiration for me: at one point today I thought "Damn I should really learn to calm down about this character. Shame I can never be as enthusiastic as I am about some of the characters I like because it's probably considered weird or cringe to like them." And immediately afterwards I went "No. Tumblr user Starleska doesn't live their life with 100% unrestrained enthusiasm and love for characters just for me to be a chicken." askdjhkjadkjdh

buddy!!!! you're going to make me cry, thank you so much 😭😭😭���💖💖 i'm honoured to hear that!! y'know, over the past...ten? years or so, my goals in life have shifted a lot, as have the things i value. i realised at some point that i may never be able to achieve the kind of success most "gifted" (undiagnosed) kids envision for themselves...but i can always make things a little happier for myself and other people. being unapologetically enthusiastic about things is something i've always valued in other people, and it's a gift i want to pass on 🫡 my question for you is: what will you achieve by calming down about the things you love? the approval of some ignorant folks who equate enthusiasm with a lack of restraint, intelligence, or fake cool points? bro, who wants validation from people like that anyway 😂 and you never know when you yelling about the things you love might spark that same love in other people!! isn't that what fandom has always been about? 💖

how can i convey my feelings for the whipping scene in Prisioneros de la tierra(1939). This is one of the most empowering worker uprising shots in cinema history, but it’s not optimistic in the least, there’s no hope presented after the rebellion, but that doesn’t make the act depicted any less just. There’s no backpatting or sense of national pride either by the film makers, it talks to me of an endless struggle by the exploited workers and the guaraní people. One battle was won, but the outcome will be the endless struggle between classes/races. The scene stands in absolute contrast to the melodrama aesthetic of the rest of the film. There are no easy conclusions to draw from this scene

Just wanted to thank you for taking the time and effort to put together the long climate/environment post, especially the online resources. I've wanted to replace the neglected/dead non-native plants at my place with native plants for months, but didn't know where to start my search for species except to walk around my local nature preserve trying to find something that isn't invasive lol. I'll be able to start (re)introducing native plants this month because of you :-)

Thank you for the kind words. I'm glad the post has been helpful and inspiring. If you'd like more directed guidance on native plants, I can probably point you in the right direction if you can give me a general area to work with (state would suffice!). In general, go for keystone species- those that are common in your area and support many kinds of insects- or pollinator favorites, or host plants for rare/imperiled butterflies/bees/moths.

Can't remember if you've been asked this before so sorry if you have, but what are your favourite con panels that you've watched? (like as a whole or for particular moments).

initial clarification that i don't really have preferences for supernatural panels minus that they have jared and/or jensen in it at some point and because to the extent that i am able to experience a con through recordings, this isn't a production of any kind, there aren't any controlled aspects that i am able to criticise or look at specifically and these are just some guys hanging out that i. observe. like i don't have a '''favourite''' memory of hanging out with my friends it's all just fun, yk?

okay to keep this list as short as possible i just scrolled through my two supernatural playlists and just picked at whatever thumbnails stood out to me (they wouldn't have stood out if i didn't particularly enjoy myself watching them) then went through my #jaytwo tag and added based on the same metric of enjoyment/moments that mean a lot to me

jared's eyecon 2008 panel

vancouver '11, main (i tend to really like their vancon panels)

nerd hq '11 & '12 of course

vancouver '13, gold

vancouver '14, main

minnesota '18, both

nashville '19, main

j2 jib8

nashville '17, main

nashville '16, main

j2 virtual '21

this also made me realise 1) just how many panels they've done (recently watched one from 2018 that was their 100th con, which meant there were approx 200+ panels that included jared, jensen or both of them), 2) how little i've actually watched—i became a j2 fan in early october 2024 and i didn't start watching cons regularly till mid-october, and even then i've maybe watched only approx 70 or so, 3) how many earlier con recordings were just never made/are just little clips of the panel because there was no concrete ritual around con-going on for the fandom until maybe season six OR the amount of pre-2013 con recordings have just straight up been lost because of the degradation of youtube and other fandom sites, and 4) i need to organise these playlists before i go crazy

i 'get' staring at your sleeping lover now, a bit, but i can't do it for long, or the urge to wake her and start talking takes over, because she is much more interesting awake

Machensorship

[cosmosarcana]

i don't think the implementation would be all that feasible or that it would be easy to make a simple enough function but honestly i would love for it to be possible to train pals to have certain passives (if they don't already have 4) i.e. petting a pal after bringing a wild pal to low health and then capturing it x amount of times would lead to it learning mercy hit
