I've been devouring the first few seasons of star trek deep space 9 recently and folks... after several false starts we might finally have found the trek that will take my brain down like the weak gazelle of the herd. I love this shitty little space station and the cast of exclusively weirdos that inhabit it so much

[tleeaves]

The art is lovely and now I'm gonna ramble because that's what I do when I care about something.

For the love of women, please PLEASE can fan artists remember to add muscle to their Shadowhunter ladies? I'll commend Bowater for cleverly giving James that sculpted and lean look without making him a beefcake (nothing against beefcakes, I'd love to hug them), but Cordelia is once again suffering from Arms And Shoulders Too Slender It's Hard To Even Imagine Her Picking Up A Sword. There is some there, yes, but artists shouldn't be afraid of giving particularly Female Main Characters weight and toned muscle. Cordelia is supposed to be nearly the same height as James as far as I can remember, and she's curvy, and full, and she wields a sword like it's second nature to her. Please explain why she looks so tiny in James' lap.

Also I'm pretty sure marriage runes are supposed to go over the heart whenever possible (thinking about Will's parabatai rune being over his heart instead -- he didn't get Tessa to draw over the scar, did he??) and... either I'm looking at the picture wrong or James' rune is not over where his heart should be.

For the matter, where are their other runes and scars?? James' Voyance rune isn't even on his hand. And I'm pretty sure he's right handed. I could have that wrong though.

Another thing: no one can ever decide what Cordelia's hair looks like and it's the funniest thing to me. This is what happens when all you do is vaguely say the colour is like fire but also like rose petals but also a flowing river of those things but also is Red (probably for redhead, but then from there I never understand where the rose petal analogy comes from considering the typical rose is a deep bloody colour -- I do acknowledge the existence of those light orange varieties though which might more closely resemble red hair). In the end, I'm glad readers can infer what they want and imagine the characters how they like.

Anyone else think James looks like he's built like a tennis player? Oddly specific, maybe, but it was a thought I had. Mostly the arms and somewhat narrow body.

James' hair is nice, his eyes are an interesting take on gold in the shadows. Bowater managed to also make him look closely related to his father, so bravo for that.

In the end, the focus is obviously on the marriage runes and not other physical aspects outside of it being clear that this is James and Cordelia. Bowater's style is very beautiful and elegant. Love the way fabric and lighting is done too. I'll add also that it is possible to be a smaller person who is slender but still strong so I mean Cordelia's not necessarily done wrong, I just interpret her appearance differently. Obviously, they're both hot and they're both attractive and I have my qualms with the series, chronicles, and author -- the fandom I am so-so on, though I'm still here, aren't I? And I'm taking the time to ramble about my thoughts on a piece of fanart -- but this is good. Gorgeous, even. Both James and Cordelia are beautiful.

"cloud retainer's marites era"? I can't tell what that means from googling but consider me intrigued o_O

'Marites' is basically a meme/slang here in my country, and it's often used as a label for gossipy people.

As for Cloud Retainer being a Marites, it kinda became an inside joke of mine once Ganyu's lantern rite voicelines were leaked and a lot of people in the quote tweets were calling her a marites lmao

Translation: cloud retainer is the marites auntie in the reunions that always asks you if you already have a significant other/spouse.😭😭😭

[ID from alt: Diagram trying to show the chronology of the Ultimate Draco arc of TMNT 03 with multiple time lines].

Full ID/Transcription under the cut.

The time lines are: Earth 3 (Usagi's earth, No turtles) in blue, Prime Earth in black, Divergent Prime Timeline in purple, Prime ~120 yrs Future in red, and Alt Earth (Present era, diff. turt[different turtles]).

Earth 3 contains only a "Leo Arrives" event and an arrow labeled "Adventure" towards the next event "Leo & Usagi Depart".

Prime Earth starts with a line break indicating the zoomed scale, and most of is labeled with an over arching "Ultimate Draco Arc". The first Event is an X with arrows indicating Leo and Donnie's departure (the others left off for readiblity). The next is "Leo & Usagi Arrive", followed by "Attempt to retrieve bros", and "Successful Retrival of Brothers". These event are aligned with ones on the remaining 3 timelines, "Half phrase out of time" and "Returns" respectively. Another line break indicates scale shift, and the years 2105 to 2125 are indicated in red.

The Divergent Timeline branches off from the moment the turtles leave "Prime Earth". It's first event is "Donnie Disappears", followed by a line break labeled "40 years", and the next event "15 y/o prime Donnie Arrives". In between the "Phase" and "Return" events is "Defeats (future) Shedder". An arrow indicates Donnie's return to Prime Earth (it is also erroneously drawn to the wrong point).

Prime ~120 yrs Future starts with 2105 "Child Falcon meets Turtles (Later Event)". A line break then 2125, and an event "Raph interrupts Falcon's Race". Inbetween the "Phase" and "Return" events is "Wins Race".

Alt Earth has only a "Mikey Arrives" event, and between the "Phase" and "Return" events is "Defeats 'Sliver'".

Tumblr’s Core Product Strategy

Here at Tumblr, we’ve been working hard on reorganizing how we work in a bid to gain more users. A larger user base means a more sustainable company, and means we get to stick around and do this thing with you all a bit longer. What follows is the strategy we're using to accomplish the goal of user growth. The @labs group has published a bit already, but this is bigger. We’re publishing it publicly for the first time, in an effort to work more transparently with all of you in the Tumblr community. This strategy provides guidance amid limited resources, allowing our teams to focus on specific key areas to ensure Tumblr’s future.

The Diagnosis

In order for Tumblr to grow, we need to fix the core experience that makes Tumblr a useful place for users. The underlying problem is that Tumblr is not easy to use. Historically, we have expected users to curate their feeds and lean into curating their experience. But this expectation introduces friction to the user experience and only serves a small portion of our audience. 

Tumblr’s competitive advantage lies in its unique content and vibrant communities. As the forerunner of internet culture, Tumblr encompasses a wide range of interests, such as entertainment, art, gaming, fandom, fashion, and music. People come to Tumblr to immerse themselves in this culture, making it essential for us to ensure a seamless connection between people and content. 

To guarantee Tumblr’s continued success, we’ve got to prioritize fostering that seamless connection between people and content. This involves attracting and retaining new users and creators, nurturing their growth, and encouraging frequent engagement with the platform.

Our Guiding Principles

To enhance Tumblr’s usability, we must address these core guiding principles.

Expand the ways new users can discover and sign up for Tumblr.

Provide high-quality content with every app launch.

Facilitate easier user participation in conversations.

Retain and grow our creator base.

Create patterns that encourage users to keep returning to Tumblr.

Improve the platform’s performance, stability, and quality.

Below is a deep dive into each of these principles.

Principle 1: Expand the ways new users can discover and sign up for Tumblr.

Tumblr has a “top of the funnel” issue in converting non-users into engaged logged-in users. We also have not invested in industry standard SEO practices to ensure a robust top of the funnel. The referral traffic that we do get from external sources is dispersed across different pages with inconsistent user experiences, which results in a missed opportunity to convert these users into regular Tumblr users. For example, users from search engines often land on pages within the blog network and blog view—where there isn’t much of a reason to sign up. 

We need to experiment with logged-out tumblr.com to ensure we are capturing the highest potential conversion rate for visitors into sign-ups and log-ins. We might want to explore showing the potential future user the full breadth of content that Tumblr has to offer on our logged-out pages. We want people to be able to easily understand the potential behind Tumblr without having to navigate multiple tabs and pages to figure it out. Our current logged-out explore page does very little to help users understand “what is Tumblr.” which is a missed opportunity to get people excited about joining the site.

Actions & Next Steps

Improving Tumblr’s search engine optimization (SEO) practices to be in line with industry standards.

Experiment with logged out tumblr.com to achieve the highest conversion rate for sign-ups and log-ins, explore ways for visitors to “get” Tumblr and entice them to sign up.

Principle 2: Provide high-quality content with every app launch.

We need to ensure the highest quality user experience by presenting fresh and relevant content tailored to the user’s diverse interests during each session. If the user has a bad content experience, the fault lies with the product.

The default position should always be that the user does not know how to navigate the application. Additionally, we need to ensure that when people search for content related to their interests, it is easily accessible without any confusing limitations or unexpected roadblocks in their journey.

Being a 15-year-old brand is tough because the brand carries the baggage of a person’s preconceived impressions of Tumblr. On average, a user only sees 25 posts per session, so the first 25 posts have to convey the value of Tumblr: it is a vibrant community with lots of untapped potential. We never want to leave the user believing that Tumblr is a place that is stale and not relevant. 

Actions & Next Steps

Deliver great content each time the app is opened.

Make it easier for users to understand where the vibrant communities on Tumblr are. 

Improve our algorithmic ranking capabilities across all feeds. 

Principle 3: Facilitate easier user participation in conversations.

Part of Tumblr’s charm lies in its capacity to showcase the evolution of conversations and the clever remarks found within reblog chains and replies. Engaging in these discussions should be enjoyable and effortless.

Unfortunately, the current way that conversations work on Tumblr across replies and reblogs is confusing for new users. The limitations around engaging with individual reblogs, replies only applying to the original post, and the inability to easily follow threaded conversations make it difficult for users to join the conversation.

Actions & Next Steps

Address the confusion within replies and reblogs.

Improve the conversational posting features around replies and reblogs. 

Allow engagements on individual replies and reblogs.

Make it easier for users to follow the various conversation paths within a reblog thread. 

Remove clutter in the conversation by collapsing reblog threads. 

Explore the feasibility of removing duplicate reblogs within a user’s Following feed. 

Principle 4: Retain and grow our creator base.

Creators are essential to the Tumblr community. However, we haven’t always had a consistent and coordinated effort around retaining, nurturing, and growing our creator base.  

Being a new creator on Tumblr can be intimidating, with a high likelihood of leaving or disappointment upon sharing creations without receiving engagement or feedback. We need to ensure that we have the expected creator tools and foster the rewarding feedback loops that keep creators around and enable them to thrive.

The lack of feedback stems from the outdated decision to only show content from followed blogs on the main dashboard feed (“Following”), perpetuating a cycle where popular blogs continue to gain more visibility at the expense of helping new creators. To address this, we need to prioritize supporting and nurturing the growth of new creators on the platform.

It is also imperative that creators, like everyone on Tumblr, feel safe and in control of their experience. Whether it be an ask from the community or engagement on a post, being successful on Tumblr should never feel like a punishing experience.

Actions & Next Steps

Get creators’ new content in front of people who are interested in it. 

Improve the feedback loop for creators, incentivizing them to continue posting.

Build mechanisms to protect creators from being spammed by notifications when they go viral.

Expand ways to co-create content, such as by adding the capability to embed Tumblr links in posts.

Principle 5: Create patterns that encourage users to keep returning to Tumblr.

Push notifications and emails are essential tools to increase user engagement, improve user retention, and facilitate content discovery. Our strategy of reaching out to you, the user, should be well-coordinated across product, commercial, and marketing teams.

Our messaging strategy needs to be personalized and adapt to a user’s shifting interests. Our messages should keep users in the know on the latest activity in their community, as well as keeping Tumblr top of mind as the place to go for witty takes and remixes of the latest shows and real-life events.  

Most importantly, our messages should be thoughtful and should never come across as spammy.  

Actions & Next Steps

Conduct an audit of our messaging strategy.

Address the issue of notifications getting too noisy; throttle, collapse or mute notifications where necessary.  

Identify opportunities for personalization within our email messages. 

Test what the right daily push notification limit is. 

Send emails when a user has push notifications switched off.

Principle 6: Performance, stability and quality.

The stability and performance of our mobile apps have declined. There is a large backlog of production issues, with more bugs created than resolved over the last 300 days. If this continues, roughly one new unresolved production issue will be created every two days. Apps and backend systems that work well and don't crash are the foundation of a great Tumblr experience. Improving performance, stability, and quality will help us achieve sustainable operations for Tumblr.

Improve performance and stability: deliver crash-free, responsive, and fast-loading apps on Android, iOS, and web.

Improve quality: deliver the highest quality Tumblr experience to our users. 

Move faster: provide APIs and services to unblock core product initiatives and launch new features coming out of Labs.

Conclusion

Our mission has always been to empower the world’s creators. We are wholly committed to ensuring Tumblr evolves in a way that supports our current users while improving areas that attract new creators, artists, and users. You deserve a digital home that works for you. You deserve the best tools and features to connect with your communities on a platform that prioritizes the easy discoverability of high-quality content. This is an invigorating time for Tumblr, and we couldn’t be more excited about our current strategy.

Why Executive Retained Services Are Essential for Long-Term Growth 

Retained executive services are an invaluable strategy for companies aiming for long-term success and sustainability. These services go beyond mere recruitment; they are a partnership that focuses on securing leadership that aligns with the company’s future vision and current culture. Let’s delve deeper into why these services are essential for any organization looking to foster durable growth and competitiveness. 

Firstly, retained executive searches are distinguished by their in-depth, meticulous approach. Unlike standard recruitment processes that might prioritize speed over fit, retained searches focus on finding candidates who not only have the necessary skills but also embody the leadership qualities that match the company’s long-term objectives. This method involves detailed industry insights, extensive networking, and a thorough evaluation process. This ensures that each candidate is not only qualified but is also likely to succeed and remain with the company long-term. 

Vantedge Search exemplifies this approach by offering specialized recruitment services across various critical industries such as technology, healthcare, financial services, and consumer markets. Their recruiters are not just search consultants; they are seasoned industry experts who provide strategic advice and tailored solutions. This deep understanding of different industry dynamics enables Vantedge Search to bridge the gap between a company's present needs and its future aspirations by introducing leaders who are equipped to navigate and influence complex business environments. 

Another pivotal aspect of retained executive services is the assurance of confidentiality and exclusivity. The nature of executive searches often requires a high level of discretion to maintain the integrity of the process and to protect the interests of both the clients and the candidates. Vantedge Search maintains this confidentiality rigorously, ensuring that the recruitment process does not disrupt current business operations or public perceptions. Moreover, since these services often involve filling high-stakes positions, the exclusive focus of the search firm on a client’s needs helps in meticulously selecting leaders who are not just fit for the role but are poised to drive the company's success. 

Furthermore, Vantedge Search’s ability to provide interim and fractional leadership solutions exemplifies another benefit of retained executive services. Such flexibility is crucial when companies face sudden leadership voids or need specialized expertise for short-term projects. These services enable companies to continue their operations smoothly without disruptions while they search for or develop long-term leadership solutions. This blend of flexibility and stability is vital in today’s fast-moving business environments, where agility is as important as having a steady strategic direction. 

In summary, the advantages of using retained executive services like those offered by Vantedge Search include a deeper alignment with strategic business needs, enhanced confidentiality, and the flexibility to address immediate leadership challenges. Companies that invest in such high-level recruitment partnerships gain access to top-tier leadership talent that is not only ready to lead today but also capable of steering future growth and innovation. These services are not merely about filling a vacancy but about fostering a robust leadership pipeline that sustains and propels business evolution.
