Goodbye Tumblr. You ruined it!
Hello followers!
We are sad to say that we are discontinuing Once Upon a Town.
We started this blog in August 2013 with the aim to find, research and show historical photos in high resolution formats. The main idea was to present history as documented through photography - from the very earliest to circa mid-1950s. The large format quality we favored for our blog was chosen for its immersive properties. We wanted the past to come alive and to show you all just how much has been lost with ever increasing development, historical erasure and plain carelessness, but also to show just how quirky and eccentric many of our immediate ancestors were. Where possible we have included explanations for the images and in the process we learned a great deal about very niche corners of our recent history - and just how little we generally know about people and life from just over 100 years ago. It has been an enriching journey and we hope people who have followed this blog feel a little closer to the Victorians and Edwardians and homesteaders and flappers and dogs and cats and places captured on camera so many years ago. Much now is gone and only exists in these old photos.
In order to post this high resolution photography, we have since 2013 used a customized theme that allows large format to show on our website main page, which we recommend is accessed through a browser on a computer for a more immersive viewing experience. But thanks to Tumblr’s discontinuation of the legacy editor, this is no longer possible. The new editor they have forced down everyone’s throats (over the complaints of many) arbitrarily crops new posts and ruins the overall look of the website page. In short, it messes up the entire concept of what we have come to regard as a visual archive of the late 19th century and early 20th century. And while it still looks the same in the Tumblr feed, it’s the website most people outside Tumblr access and link to. This is our front page.
Regrettably it seems to be a trend among social sites to force unpopular changes on the people who create the content. They have become big and arrogant and care little for what users want. They keep “fixing” what isn’t broken by breaking them more. Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Flickr, Deviant Art and now Tumblr have all gone through these self-destructive processes over the heads of their users and all have become worse platforms for it. 
However, even though we will no longer post new material here - at least for as long as Tumblr maintains the discontinuation of the legacy editor - we will leave the site up for people to peruse at their leisure. Our old posts are, as of yet, not affected by Tumblr’s changes and we simply can’t get ourselves to delete ten years of collecting and research. We recommend you make good use of our archive and hashtags. There’s a bit of most of everything in the deep depths of this vast collection which counts thousands of images by now. And you might just stumble on something really weird that you didn’t know about. 
At the time of writing this, Once Upon a Town has a total of 44,394 followers. We find that kinda impressive for a blog that doesn’t contain porn or manga. So here’s to all of you! We thank you for your interest and feedback over the years.

Goodbye Tumblr, thanks for the memories <3
Damn, it's been a minute since I logged in here, huh?
As you might have already guessed, I'm logging in to say a final goodbye to this blog. Tumblr holds some really special memories for me, I met so many cool people in the Far Cry fandom and beyond, but it also has some pretty shitty memories too, which is why I wanted to write this last post. Why, after all of this time? Honestly I don't know? Maybe to hopefully reconnect with the cool people I met here but on a different platform? Haha I'm not sure! :P
Here are the social medias I'm most active on nowadays!
I stream on Twitch almost daily (yes, that includes Far Cry games!): https://www.twitch.tv/missmeggiecat
I'm also active on Instagram! https://www.instagram.com/missmeggiecat/
Thank you for all of the love and support over the years! It was a blast! <3

I'm Leaving Tumblr
It's not like i'll delete my acc, i'll just be not so active as before. With all these drastic changes that the site is doing, i'm not going to post regularly as before, i'll just be seeing mutuals DM's and checking some comments, but i will be no longer available to make more own post.
Take care.

yes i just found out about what tumblr are doing. i'm pretty pissed off.
this site has completely stopped being fun for me already, so it's time to find somewhere else to go.
which is why i'm going to cohost! i'll be posting there from now on, and i highly encourage anyone to make an account and follow me! i don't need to be held by the confines of a stupid app anymore. the dopamine drip is OVER. i will be FREE there!
you can also buy my comics. i've got like 5 different projects in my head right now and i'm excited to put them on paper.
My discord is sekwar
thank you guys for everything. now it's time to get WEIRDER. see you there.

⚠️IMPORTANT INFO⚠️
So some sad news (not anything depressing) but I've decided to move on from this blog, and going to delete it. If there's ANYONE who wants to take my stuff and repost it (even In the form of screen shots) to their own blogs (even if it's multiple people) PLEASE DM ME~ I'll be trying to make a Google doc with all the posts I've made.
I will be Deleting this blog by the end of June, unless someone wants to take it over for me.
I understand there's a lot of people who have sent me asks that we're never answered, and this breaks my heart, but I've simply lost interest in this blog. I'm going to miss it, and even as I type this now I just want to dive back into it but I just can't. My interests have shifted to more original writings, and into diffrent Fandoms that really speak to my soul. I'm probably going to cry over this since I never realized how close I was to my blog but at least this way you can all still have the chance to find the same care and love I have for you all floating around on the internet.
Thank you to EVERYONE who's interacted with me, and made friends with me along the way. You're all such sweet people and I'll miss you 🥺
P.S maybe this isn't the end you'll see of me, but think of this as a goodnight, and not goodbye.

Taking a break from tumblr
This new site update is stressing me the hell out. I'm not having fun. So I'll be taking a break for at least a week. Probably more, hell this might even be semi permanant if no easy fixes are presented.
I'll still check my messages every few days (which may end up being less often if the problem persists), and I might occasionally share something or add tags to old posts, bc my personal archive thankfully looks the same.
But I certainly won't be looking at the dashboard for the forseeable future.
I might be pausing twitter soon too, but that's tbd.
I've started being more active on Deviantart again, so you can find me there. You can also find me on twitter (PinkRedPanda). Friends can PM me for email.
Take care everyone.

hello~ so i’ve decided that i will not continue posting on tumblr, meaning that just my type will be discontinued. i do give permission to further the plot and put ur own flavor to it but please credit me for the idea if u do use it! i had a fun time on here but life rn doesn’t permit me to be able to continue being on this platform. this acc will kinda just be collecting dust cuz i doubt i’ll even open this app often :/ i would like to end this by saying thank u all for the love and support during my time here <3

I decided to let my Tumblr go on hiatus since I'm starting to be inactive on Tumblr. This is going to be my last post for today...
I was about to say it was nice knowing you all and I love you all here. And, I appreciate of how you guys support me for having me welcome here. And, I know y'all are about to miss me... But, it's time for me to be out of Tumblr and be on hiatus
So, I guess that's all that I can say...
Well, I guess I'll be seeing you guys. So, be safe and stay awesome. And, I love you guys so so much. ❤️
So long, fellas!
