i'm sure people have sent you the answer 293 times already too but just in case, the water texture is a default photo filter on the tumblr photo editor!

WE HAVE A PHOTO EDITOR?

Reblog if you're getting the same ERROR 500 page. I've tried logging in, clicking on various categories to read fanfics, the latest article, etc. only for it to show this.

Literally no matter what I click on this shows up. I can't check their Twitter account because Twitter is apparently anti-VPN and the last time they posted anything on Tumblr via @ao3org was two (2) days ago. And what's even funnier? This even shows up when you click contact support. How tf are we supposed to contact them if this keeps popping up??

how is trump alive?? like hes rlly gone thru his whole life like That …. and no one has ever just fuckin decked him?? gave him the ole one two? knocked his lights out??? incredible

I knew there was something between Gwyn and Azriel before I even read the bonus chapter, the bonus chapter just confirmed my thoughts, and the last paragraph confirmed them as endgame for me.

Every time someone says that archeologists are hiding stuff from the public I should be given a million dollars to fund the digs they say we are hiding

Extremely thrilled to finally post my big feast for @gwynrielweeksofficial 🖤 enjoy!!

Commissioned with Artcraawl (here)

Yes, Spain!!!!

i have 15 years’ worth of outstanding library fines in three separate cities and it’s my hope that eventually a bounty hunter librarian will come to collect and we’ll get in a bar fight and fall in love

literally obsessed with the design of blobjects

These two are amazing!

@x-heesy 💃🏻🕺🏻 Friday vibes!

my mother taught me to crochet when i was young. she was left handed, so she taught me how in the bathroom mirror so her hands would be in the right position.

she learned to crochet from her grandmother, who was right handed. her grandma was the one that originally used the bathroom mirror to teach her granddaughter properly.

i find something poetic about that. here in this bathroom mirror, through generations, we adapt to our young who have a different way of learning and interacting with the world

I'm going to be real honest with you. My step back from fandom has been for many reasons. But you know one of the main ones keeping me from re-engaging? The overt commodification of fanfiction- not by authors, but by succubi who see only profit. I see fellow authors who have reached levels of stardom unimaginable to myself, fighting tooth and nail not only to protect their stories but all of ours. Day after day, I see countless posts of Etsy listings of Manacled, mass-produced stickers of Daddy Deatheater Draco, tote bags stamped with recognisable insignias of our stories, AI-generated photos and sounds that make my skin crawl (AI is a whole other discussion to be had). What was once sacred has become tainted with greed. I am disgusted by the behaviour of readers supporting these people and discouraged by the amount of people who think these grey areas are sound. Just today I read Sen Lin Yu's answered Asks and learned that someone uploaded a downloadable version of Manacled to amazon and was blatantly charging for it. These works of art are already free. They were laboured over and gifted to us all. To say we don't deserve our authors is an understatement. Sen herself has worked tirelessly to take down uploads of her writing all over the internet, all while being pestered for new chapters and managing her life. A rancid sense of entitlement has spread through all of fandom, creating an environment so noxious that our most beloved and talented friends have left. Who will be next? What is our breaking point? Will it be when AO3 is shut down? When legal action once again ensues? Perhaps all needs to be lost for sense to be had.

When I post again, if I am able, I will do so emphatically and with all the love I hold for this fandom. Until then, help take down profit-seekers and those determined to sabotage our spaces. It is the least we can do for the authors who have given us everything. Perhaps one day, I will reopen AO3, and my love for Dramione will begin anew.

I js wanted to check up on you.How are you doing?is there anything on your mind that you need to talk about?p.s. feel free to message me whenever

Thanks for the checkup ❤️❤️ everything’s good, just not on tumblr much lately! How are you doing???

You know, an interesting tumblr transformation that's happened gradually, and which I've seen no one talk about: ask-culture has essentially dropped off to nothing.

By which I mean, asks used to be WAY more of the tumblr economy. They used to be more common to send, and receive, and see. They were integral to the collaborative, forum-like behavior of old tumblr communities, not even to speak on the HUGE number of ask-blogs that used to exist to only be interacted with in ask-form.

I'm not saying this in a vying-for-attention way but instead in an observational way: I used to get way way more asks in like 2015, even with a fraction of my follower count. I wonder if it's due to the homogenization of social media sites? There's a lot more of this divide between "content creator" and "consumer" instead of just a bunch of peer blogs who would talk to each other. "Asks" aren't really a thing on twitter, are they? And as I understand it, the closest thing to an "ask" on instagram or tiktok would be a creator screenshotting some comment and responding to it in a new reel or video or whatever those content mediums are. Are asks just too tumblr-specific? Is that aspect of the site culture dying out as more and more people converge to using all their social media sites in the same way?

If the USA is so great then why did they make a USB?
