with the utmost carefulness does erenville sit a little frog right between maru's fluffy ears. the frog gives a small croak, but otherwise seems rather content with its new spot nestled comfortably in white locks.
The Miqo'te held very still as he felt something just sit, perfectly centred, between his fuzzy ears. He didn't tilt his head, didn't flick his ears, just looked up as best he could without moving a muscle. He was almost afraid to breathe lest he dislodge his unexpected passenger.
"Erenville... Did you just put a frog on my head?" he asked, despite already knowing the answer. The croak kind of gave it away.
"I hope you're prepared to help wash my hair later," he joked lightly, but honestly seemed quite content to just sit there. With a frog on his head.

Stumbles exhausted into his brother's room and lays down on top of his bed. Hes not even under the blankets he's just laying on top.
He's not expecting guests when he trudges back to his room later that day, tired after a morning spent under an unseasonably warm sun doing manual labour when he would much rather have been napping in a sunbeam.
He smelled his guest before he saw him though and when he stepped into his room to see the lump atop the sheets that was his brother, the vessel dragged his feet across the last distance between himself and comfort, shedding his sweaty shirt and dirty pants as he went.
He said nothing, just climbed onto the bed and curled up with the Miqo'te already there, intertwined their tails and closed his eyes to nap as the midday sun poured through a nearby window.

Too late. He was thinking it.
Still, to his credit he didn't dally and followed along behind back to the bike. Once they were both mounted, he dropped his chin onto the blond's shoulder with a long-suffering sigh.
"It's not a phobia. It was a distraction tactic. And I can roughhouse with the pair at home. I can't exactly pick up a client's kid and hold them up by their ankles." He's fairly certain that Marlene gets a kick out it when he does it to her though, if her squeals of delight are anything to go by.
The scolded Miqo'te's ears drooped but the cheeky little grin on his lips spoke volumes for how unapologetic he was.
"Hey, the kid thought it was funny that you're ticklish and we avoided any tail-pulling. I think it was win/win," he replied brightly.
"A leash though huh..."

It wasn't for everyone, of that he was sure but without even trying, without even knowing he was doing it, Cathan had unlocked Maru's most embarrassing secret and though he could have lied about it, the white-furred feline disliked doing so about himself. So there it was, out in the open, that Maru was an exhibitionist.
Still bright with that blush even when the kiss was pressed to his cheek, Maru chuckled softly, very slightly self-conscious. "Don't think you have to meet that particular need," he murmured. "I'm happy to keep you for my eyes only," he assured his lover in a low voice.
Probably best not to discuss it any further though, lest Maru start to get a little too excited. Still, he seemed quite happy to remain beneath the grip of the hands on his hips and didn't try to pull away at all.
"Anyway," he began in a blatant change of subject. "Let's finish up out here and grab some fishcakes on the way back, if there're any left."
Well if that wasn't reassuring to hear, he didn't know what was. He could just waltz on over and cop a feel whenever he wanted, huh? Well, Cathan could rest assured that Maru at least had a little more decorum than that. Usually. If Cathan was gonna play dress-up, the white furred feline wasn't going to be responsible for his own actions.
Even when Cathan sighed, Maru's hands remained exactly where they were and he even grinned impishly and gave the pecs a squeeze while he was at it.
"I am enjoying this," he agreed with a light laugh. Cathan must be too, at least a little, if he'd not slapped the hands away and told him to keep them to himself. There was a measure of hesitation before he answered though, and a very obvious flush of colour across the bridge of his nose to denote his embarrassment.
"And if I did admit to liking being watched? What then?"

@confluxium because it's moar soft husbands. Can be read as a continuation of this or after this if you squint. Kind of a scene and a half because I had an image in mind and dressing Maru in Meteor's clothes is a new mighty need.
Sunlight streamed in through the slanted skylight, bathing the room in warm beams of light the dust motes could dance in. It cast the bed's occupants in a gentle glow, softened their rough edges and made an angel of the little devil laying upon the brunet's chest.
Idle fingers trailed through soft white locks that glinted an otherworldly red in the light, the digits roughened but gentle in their touch as they allowed snowy hair to slip between them. Clear blue eyes peered down at the resting feline with affection and he scritched behind a fuzzy ear for a moment to watch the reaction it elicited.
The Miqo'te rumbled something that couldn't be discerned before tilting his head a little, careful not to dislodge the fingers from their place in his hair. Ruby eyes, one seeing, one not, peered slightly blearily up at the Hyur whose lips were curled at the corners into a soft smile.
"Lazy," Safiri accused lightly, bending the tip of the ear he'd been petting and watching it flick back into place.
The observation was met with another indecipherable mumble before Maru stretched in place, lean and long from the tips of his ears to his tail and toes. It caused the sheet to slip down his body to pool around his hips, though he seemed to care none for it and laid his head back upon the firm chest that served as his pillow.
He practically heard the roll of his lover's eyes moments before the light petting of his hair became something less soothing and more disruptively ruffling - though his hair could hardly get much more untidy.
"You're lucky I love you so much," the Miqo'te rumbled, squinting up at Safiri before he heaved a long-suffering sigh and sat up with a slight grimace. His fingertips trailed down over warm skin, teased over a peaked nipple before he lifted his hand away to cup a stubbled cheek. He pressed a kiss to Safiri's smiling lips, languid and slow, before he pulled away and slid from beneath the sheets to stand beside the bed.
Maru stole a moment then to just appreciate the sight of his lover laying there abed still, the sheets rumpled and pooled in his lap. Scarred skin was marked further by red lines left in the wake of the Miqo'te's claws and one shoulder was peppered with bite marks. Regardless of the evidence of their earlier activity, Safiri looked relaxed and content with barely a hint of tension in the body Maru so adored worshipping with his hands and mouth.
Only when he'd drank in his fill of his lover, effortlessly sexy as always, did Maru turn away with a flick of his tail. It was entirely deliberately that he bent over to grab the shirt discarded on the floor nearby and gave the reclined Hyur an unobstructed view of his ass before he straightened to pull the garment over his head.
They were of a similar size so Safiri's shirt didn't swamp him but the broadness of the man's shoulders and chest meant that it did hang off the slighter Miqo'te some and the neckline dipped to expose his collarbone.
"You know if I'm cooking, it's going to be fish, right?" Maru commented as he settled into the shirt that wasn't his. He turned on the spot, bare from the waist down and still wearing the evidence of their time together, to direct the question at Safiri whose gaze was busy appreciating the sight of the feline attired only in a single shirt that wasn't his own.
"You say that as if I'd take issue with such," Safiri replied. "If it's too much trouble, you don't have to cook at all."
Maru pouted at that, shook his head and raked his fingers through his hair in a bid to tame his unruly mop of hair only to make it worse. If someone were to see him right then, there'd be no doubt of what he'd been up to.
"I can do it," Maru announced firmly. "How's kedgeree sound?"
"Delicious."
"Stay right there then. I won't be long."
And with that, the Miqo'te slipped out of the room, tail trailing along behind him in his haste.
-x-x-x-
Even though his back was to the door, the feline's sharp hearing caught the sound of movement behind him so when a strong arm slid around his waist, it didn't startle him. Maru turned his head just a little when his lover's other hand glided down his neck and shoulder exposed by the shirt and he felt the press of lips against warm, scarred skin. He lowered his hand from where he was holding the pan to place it over the calloused one resting over his belly as he felt Safiri's chest press against his back and the brush of light, linen breeches against the backs of his legs.
After a moment, he wiggled his hand enough to be able to intertwine their fingers.
"Aw, you put pants on," Maru whined playfully, turning his attention back to the food he was stirring gently. The press of a nose against the back of his neck made him purr softly and though he would have been happy to stand there for longer with the warm press of Safiri against his back, he steeled himself for a moment before pressing his hips back against his lover's. It was an indication that he wanted to step away and plate up the food before it dried out over the heat but he didn't imagine the sharp little exhalation against his nape and the brief tightening of Safiri's hands around his waist.
Granting his lover some space, Safiri did finally let his arms slip from where they held the Miqo'te close. Such touch would ever feel like a luxury after such time as they'd spent apart. That was before the words spoken with conviction by the feline of refusing to be parted again had been brought to life through action.
"Worry not. You can take them back off when we go bathe," he assured the pouting feline, amusement lacing his voice as he watched Maru share the curried rice and its accompaniments between two bowls.
He took one such bowl in hand when it was offered, waited for the feline to grab their utensils and together they returned to the bedroom to partake of the meal in comfort.

Finished watching Rebirth.
Can't say I'm a huge fan, sadly.
I think I understand that it's overlapping realities, parallel worlds? The way it's delivered is so confusing though. I still don't understand the whispers exactly either.
Between that and the padding, I can't say that I like the game that much honestly.
There were times and elements that I liked, for sure, and it's pretty as hell but I think I like the more cohesive and easier to follow story of the OG more.

I'm right at the end of Rebirth (so maybe some of this is cleared up in the two hours left of this playthrough?) and
I have no fucking idea what's happening lol. I don't understand anything about why Zack and Biggs are floating around, I don't get the whole weird scene back in Midgar with Aerith and Cloud and I don't know what happened in that scene with Sephiroth and Cloud with the exposition of multiple worlds.
I don't know why Sephiroth was playing hot potato with the Black materia (he had it, and then uh? just so that he could have Cloud give it back to him?).
The only thing I think I get is that rather than wanting to use the planet to sail the cosmos (am I remembering that right from the OG?) Sephiroth wants to merge a bunch of realities and that's what the reunion is really about?
I think the white materia was 'used' to revive Aerith after the helicopter crash and that's why it's not available to revive her after the stabby? So they wanted to patch a plot-hole?
I feel like my brain is oozing out of my ears.
I'm legitimately kinda upset that I don't get what's happening.
Maybe I'm just dumb lol.

I created a Userstyle for the Chrome/Firefox Stylus Extension that reverts the new dashboard to the old format. This took a lot of tweaking and it's not perfect at all, but if anyone wants it I'll be uploading it soonish now!
You need to have Stylus installed. So if you don't have it:
Install the Stylus Firefox Addon or the Chrome Extension (You can install Chrome Extensions on Edge as well)
Once it's installed into Firefox/Chrome/Edge you can proceed with adding this style or any other.
To add the style, follow the instructions:
Go to this link: https://userstyles.world/style/11286/old-tumblr-dashboard-july-2023
Click on "install".
Style will open a tag with it and in the left side you'll have a button that says "install style", click there. (Step-by-step copied from the lovely dorothyoz39 who wrote this in a reply!) If you don't want the sticky header you can remove the labelled script at the top of the css below /* Sticky Header*/
Be sure to check for updates regularly, I'm fixing things as I go! And because everyone keeps asking here's how to support me on Ko-Fi https://ko-fi.com/pixiel !
To update click the Manage button on Stylus and click the check for update button below then click again to install! If you experience any bugs let me know - feel free to edit it yourself as well! P.S. This userstyle works just fine alongside Xkit!
Tumblr media
Check under the cut for the changelog and known issues!
NEW UPDATE: 05/03/24, 21:50pm BST v10.6
v9.6: Moved the Following | For you | Your Tags to below the create a post panel. Fixed the Accounts Menu! + Bugfixes V10.3: Patio compatibility. Added a way to hide the Patio button & "patio feedback?" button, just search for patio in the code and follow the instructions! v11.0: Temporary Chat feature fix after Tumblr broke it, fixed some positioning issues and j/k scrolling!
UPDATE3 (12/04/2024): YOU CAN NOW UPDATE YOUR OLD TUMBLE DASHBOARD AGAIN!! After letting the server rest everything is now fixed. I will be leaving the Tampermonkey Backup still up but it will have less-frequent updates to remain a backup so please use the Stylus version!
If anyone wants to help test out a new feature (Post width, dashboard positioning, etc) it would be super helpful! Read more about it here and shoot me a message!
THE CREATOR OF THIS USERSTYLE SUPPORTS THEIR TRANS SISTERS. WE'RE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER!
Thank you dragongirlsnout for all your work on Dashboard Unfucker it was amazing working towards the same goal of fixing this website with you!
----- Known issues:
The search bar moves out of place on bigger monitors when not using the sticky header. You can adjust its position yourself under "/*Moves the search bar*/" by changing the "Left" numbers. I can't think of a way around that just yet without adjusting it yourself!
Search bar doesn't appear on some pages (like viewing a post), this is because Tumblr removed the search bar on those pages completely. Unfixable!
Only two columns in Masonry view. Unfixable, Tumblr creates columns based on monitor size, if I try adding another column (because it doesn't exist) it just perpetually loads on screen. Tempfix: Zoom out in chrome/firefox and it adds more columns
Tumblr has ONCE AGAIN CHANGED THE ACCOUNTS MENU. The menus are now shorter and have less information on them. This is unfortunately permanent. I do not see any way to fix this. Unfixable.
Solved issues: (Update)
Menus need to be manually closed SOLVED! in V.4 and updated in V.5! The menu & icon WILL scroll with you if you have removed the sticky header CSS, however, clicking anywhere on screen will make the Menu disappear still.
Masonry view in searches is now fixed!
Resized Messenger Chat Box!
NEW UPDATE 16/08/23, 23:55 BST v6.5: Figured out how to reorganise the icons in the header. Let me know if you have any problems with it and make sure to update your Userstyle! Some icons are hidden with Display: Block; you can hide more icons with this method!
Tumblr media
Solved issues p2
Brought back SOME of the icons for Tumblrs latest update - Unfortunately, this does not bring back user icons for Reblogged posts! Make sure to yell at Tumblr for removing the icons as well as the horrible dashboard update here! v7.5 Fixed icons for all posts and put them back where they came from!
v6.9.6.9 (I promise this is the last funny number): Fuck Off Buggy The Clown Update + All languages support for the old header design!
v7.0: Fixed the search bar for tumblrs new collections feature, so it looks like the original search bar!
v8.0: Fixed masonry view icons, hidden the reblog icon on dashboard icons, fixed icons in blog viewport
V8.1: Fixed issue with icons not working on soft-refresh & with endless scrolling disabled - be sure to complain to staff!
v9.3: Changed a few things with the search feature, I also made the posts less round.
UPDATE2 11/04/2024: SO We mighhtttt have overrun their servers. 😅 I'm getting a 500 Internal Server Error every time I try to fix it or upload it as a new style - the massive influx of people downloading the userstyle was probably too much. The Tampermonkey backup on Greasyfork works just fine though! Probably easier for a lot of people migrating anyway! UPDATE 11/04/2024:: My code has broken on Userstyles.world, (it is now fixed as of 12/04/24) until this is fixed I have created a Tampermonkey Backup Version of the Userstyle so feel free to use this version if you've broken yours!

Anyone know how to get tampermonkey/dashboard unfucker to work through firefox since the update that requires it to be run in developer mode?
Tumblr media
Apparently it's as easy as flicking a toggle on chrome but I ain't using chrome and the instructions don't contain any information on how to do it with Firefox. :/

If only his companion knew just what performing in front of a crowd could do to him, not that the dragoon was like to admit to such.
"Would you like me to be jealous?" he asked with a gentle laugh. "Because I just wanted an excuse to touch your tits. We can stay right here if you like, and everyone can watch me grope you and not get slapped for it."
Bold.

Rebirth thoughts:
Was kinda neat to see Cissnei? The whole thing with Tifa and the Weapon in Gongaga with the Whispers was super weird to me though. Making an optional area in the OG into an msq stop feels (again) like padding.
And every time they play at mixing things up and subverting expectations from the OG, my mind rails against it and I can't really enjoy it.
Sephiroth making so many appearances also feels weird.
Cid's voice is too young and I hate it. He's supposed to be a chain-smoking grumpy-ass 40-something.
Don't get me wrong, there's quite a lot I like about the game but damn. Maybe I'm just an OG purist...

It was good to see her taking the threat seriously and it reaffirmed the fact that he'd made the right choice in her. Too often upstart adventurers or even more seasoned hunters thought that because they had a couple of hunts under their belt, they could just rock up to an A rank mark and start flailing around at it.
"I'm thinking along the lines of bringing to our level by taking out its front legs, though that would put us well within range of its front pincers. Dividing its attention between the both of us might just be enough though. It's either that or I find a third to join us, someone who can hold its attention.
If there's anyone else there looking for the bounty themselves... I guess we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. I promised you a 50-split and you'll get it, but I'm not about to risk the lives of others to get them out of the way." He wasn't really in it for the gil anyway; if he walked away with nothing, it was no big deal.
"If you're in, we leave at sunrise on the morrow. Make sure your provisions are stocked up and rest up ahead of the fight."
She seemed capable, confident - both qualities that the vessel valued, especially when they weren't in overabundance. Balance. She would not be a liability. It gave him confidence himself that he'd made the right decision to enlist aid and comfort in the knowledge that if his handicap did cause issue, the job would still get done.
"I need you to cover my right flank," he replied easily, lifting his long bangs to reveal the still-pink scars that clipped his eyebrow and crossed his eye, marring the tanned skin. He let the hair fall back into place and produced a rolled piece of parchment which he held out - the hunt billet.
"We're hunting a beast called Orcus in the Fringes and the last thing I need is to lose more on my right to its caustic spit. We split the reward 50 - 50. Sound good?"

There's a space beside me, where you once used to sit. It reflects a place inside me; a void, it's growing, bit by bit.
