Despite the fancy survey, changes to the UI and TOS reveal we’re getting the service in the future whether we want it or not. Obviously, Post+ is a terrible idea that is trying to bank revenue on user content. Unlike patreon or onlyfans, tumblr’s primary focus is on FAN content. The legality of this is NOT in the users favor and as the new tumblr TOS states, said users will be entirely liable for whatever legal matters arise.
SO WHAT ARE WE DOING?
Besides filling out the survey, it’s time to show tumblr we mean business and show our displeasure by hitting them where it hurts.
Ad revenue.
We’re proposing a 24 hour log off as phase one of this protest.

so in Fall of 2018, we started a crowdfund to get enough money to get a LEGO Hogwarts – at the time, the biggest and most expensive LEGO Harry Potter set on the market, at a whopping 6,000+ pieces. we promised that, if we managed to fund it, we would stream ourselves building it on Twitch for as long as it took to build it, without stopping, without sleeping, UNTIL IT WAS BUILT. with your help, we managed to buy it and build it!!!
it took us… over thirty hours and we featured many fantastic special guests on our stream. we always said that we’d one day do it again, when we’d gotten better at Twitch streaming and forgotten how goshdarn exhausting it was like the fools we are.
and of course, that day has finally come! LEGO has released a large, 5500 piece dioramic & modular Diagon Alley set with fourteen minifigures, six discreet famous wizarding landmarks that split into four separate builds, and a whole buttload of owls and interesting features from the books and films alike!
as per last time, Team Accio is happy to partially fund the set ourselves but we’re gonna need your help if we want to build this monster of a LEGO set! it costs £370 (or $490) so assuming we fund half of it ourselves, which is the current plan, we’ll only need 185 of you to donate only £1 (or $1.33) in order to get this funded!!
we’re also going to, again, stream our progress on Twitch until we are absolutely and completely finished. we really mean business!!!! also, the sooner it gets funded, the sooner we’ll be able to stream it. we’ll make sure to set aside a day well in advance so none of you will miss out!
additionally, anybody who helps fund this set will have their name or URL listed on an upcoming page on the blog specifically for people who have supported us & the blog!!
anyways, no pressure to give any money, and if we can’t get enough funding i will return every last penny to the donators. if you do wanna help out, drop some money here (however much you want! no upper or lower limit; anywhere from one penny to a gazillion dollars helps out) and leave your URL in the note if you want us to put you on our Supporters page!!! thank you!!! <3 <3 <3 love y’all a zillion times over! also, here’s our Twitch page if you wanna subscribe or follow in advance!
R: I expected my son who can conjure the dead to have brought me forth days ago.
K: Oh. Yeah, well, you see…Its complicated. You know, I…I tried. I – did, but –
R: You were poisoning yourself.
K: Well, what do you expect? You’d just died. I was beside myself with grief.
R: Don’t you dare try to use me as an excuse for your weakness.
K: Oh, right, well, yeah, you had nothing to do with it.
Locking me in a mausoleum with corpses when I was 13? No youre right its irrelevant.
(Reg Sighs)
K: Ah-ah-ah careful, Dad.
R: Don’t worry, youre already dead!
K: Oh. Well that’s a relief.
R: You children like to blame everything on me.
K: Well, you were a sadistic prick, not to mention the world’s worst father.
R: I just wanted you to live up to your potential. You especially. You’re my greatest disappointment Number Four. You only scratched the surface of what you were truly capable of. If only you focused.
K: - Wait, wait, wait. What…What potential?
R: - No, instead, you pump yourself full of poison because you’re “afraid”. Afraid of what? The Dark?!
K: You know, I suggest you get down off your high horse there, dear Papa. You never had our best interests at heart. Look at your precious Number One. Luther found all the unopened letters he’d sent you. He knows that you sent him up to the Moon for nothing.
R: (Pauses) That was foolish of me. I should have burned it all.
K: (Laughs) That’s your take away? Oh wow, yeah of course it is.
R: - Not an ideal solution, I confess. But I knew that the world would soon need him, need all of you, and I had to do what was necessary.
Is he okay?
K: Do you care?
R: Everything I did, everything I put you through, was to prepare you, all of you, for something bigger than yourselves. You never understood that.
K: (sighs) We were—We were just kids. Little kids.
R: You were never just kids. You were meant to save the world.
K: Wait, wait. So you knew…knew all about this? About the apocalypse?
R: I knew that I had to bring you all back together, one way or another. The fate of the world depended on it.
K: Wh—What? What are you saying?
R: The only way to get you all back together was something momentous.
K: - Wait…you - No. You don’t mean…you killed yourself?
R: (Nods) Mm
K: (Sighs) Oh, Christ, you could never do things the easy way could you? You couldn’t have picked up a phone?
R: - Would you have answered?
Now listen to me Number Four. What I’m about to say is of great importan—(fades away)
(Music starts rising)
K:No, no, no, no, no. No. I cant… No,I cant go back. I cant go back. I cant go back! NO! WAIT!
