Since some of you don’t seem to understand how this ‘new notes’ thing works, I’ll break it down:

I’m the OP. I’m making this post. If you like, comment, reblog (without comment) on this post, then I’m the one who will see all those notes in my activity page.

However…

If you reblog (with comment), I will get a notification that you did that, but any likes/comments/reblogs (without comment) you get on that reblog will only be shown to you. As OP I won’t see them.

If someone adds a reblog (with comment) to your reblog…as OP I won’t see that. I won’t see any of those notes in my activity page.

Basically, if someone with a large following makes a comment, then they will get all the notes and OP will see nothing. If OP has said something silly because they’re, y'know, 21 and it happens, and then someone reblogs it onto the dash of someone with a large following who then dunks on them for fun? OP doesn’t see it, doesn’t get notes for it, but they’re gonna get the harrassment for it in their inbox.

If I, someone with a 5 digit follower count, reblog something to correct misinformation on Ancient Egypt, then OP will never see it unless it was on the original post, but I will continue to get notes on that post even though it’s not my post. If I reblog fanart, or just art in general, with a comment like 'Oh this is so lovely!’ then OP will not see any of the notes from people reblogging it from me. They’ll only see my reblog. So it’s possible for an art post by someone else to have 200 notes for them, but 9000 for someone who reblogs it with a comment, and the OP artist will have no idea it’s been seen by that many people.

It’s killing blow to the community we’ve built here, by someone higher up who doesn’t understand that being able to see all the comments and reblogs is what makes this site the place I keep coming back to.

That’s what sucks.

I encourage people to go to tumblr’s support page, select contact support, and then in the dropdown menu select 'Feedback’ and leave polite and constructive feedback (for those of you who enjoy 'emails worded politely but are a strong 'are you an idiot?’, try that way of wording it). They’re more likely to listen to you if you’re not an asshole about it. I’ve already gone and done this, and I hope others will too.

not to be that person, but making angry posts about the update isn’t gonna do anything. if you’re actually annoyed, i’d recommend contacting the staff to complain. if everyone does their part, i’m sure these trash updates will be rolled back. let’s go!!!

you can send your feedback here: https://www.tumblr.com/support. the more people describing the issue, the better.

tumblr also has accounts on twitter (here) and instagram (this is their latest post). it’d be worth commenting there too! let’s flood their last post with complaints, i guarantee we’ll get some kind of response.

Reblogs in a chain now get their own notes

The reblog chain is one of the things that makes Tumblr unlike anywhere else. All the notes on reblogs are attributed to the original post, no matter which branch people actually liked or reblogged. We want to keep encouraging conversations, and give contributors the recognition they deserve. 

Soon, you’ll be able to like, reblog, or reply to any part of a reblog chain, and that note will go to that reblog’s author. Each reblog will have its own counts, instead of one aggregated number from every version of the post. And yes, you’ll be able to like multiple posts in one chain.

If a reblog doesn’t add anything, the love flows up to the last person in the chain who did. Your post doesn’t lose notes just because people spread it quietly.

Past notes will stay on the original post — we’re only changing what happens from here on out. Retroactively re-attributing all of them would be… a lot.

This is just the beginning. More changes are coming as we keep building this out – stay tuned!

BRIDERTON (2020 - ) | s04 PART 2 + Bridgerton Family

Although that stupid as fuck Wollstonecraft line nearly ruined the whole thing and is a major portent of doom for Eloise, I will express approval that Eloise from the start clearly wanted to make things right with Cressida, and Cressida just lit up with joy when she saw Eloise, and they clearly adore each other.

And just gonna say Cressida treated Eloise better than her own family this season. Funny how Cressida is just as married as Penelope and Francesca and the rest of society, but still has time to hang out with her single bestie, and when she wanted to make a connection with Eloise she made the effort to read about the things Eloise liked (even if the writers had to give that blood stupid line which I don’t blame her for.)

The fact that Cressida lived in a dark home all her life with her parents and even called it a mausoleum and now that she has her own home she decorates it in bright pink, I love that for her go Barbie

I’m sorry but how am I supposed to value Penelope and Eloise’s friendship over Eloise and Cressida’s when Cressida was friends with Eloise for one season and read Mary Wollstonecraft while Pen has spent several seasons dragging Eloise and her family through the mud

Here for it. Bugs and feet hands.

get to know me meme. (me)me.

tagged by my friend @devinwolfi. i haven’t done one of these in a long time but i like vinny, and i am a raging egoist and thus i like to talk about myself. so.

the origin of your username: i wanted “theurbanspaceman” but it was taken on gmail. motherfucker. i was keen on a username unique enough to be available on any platform i should like to use it on; thus far, success.

i always order this food: ramen, pho, or wonton soup; there must necessarily be a noodle of some variety within a broth.

current overused emoji: i am not habitually an emoji user however i do enjoy these three: :] :D :⥏

current favorite show: ted lasso, of course; but at the present i am watching spartacus. it’s not good but it is pulpy and violent and gladiator-adjacent and therefore speaks to me. i am not really television-oriented and so i do not watch many shows. i am quite keen on movies, however, and an old favourite which has been on my mind lately is the secret life of walter mitty. i have also recently enjoyed la chimera and the secret agent.

current favorite book: stag’s leap by sharon olds; frankenstein by mary shelley; whereas by layli long soldier; fight club by chuck palahniuk; and maria dahvana headley’s translation of beowulf.

current favorite video game: house flipper, as ever, uncontested.

song on repeat: eat your young by hozier; witch image by ghost; and seven devils by florence + the machine.

last thing you got really into: rooibos tea. the colour green. consistent journaling. gifmaking, over bag26a; i am not particularly good but i do like the process.

oddly specific thing that brings you joy: morning star white sage incense.

phone wallpaper: a sort of generic space image. my lockscreen is a collage of rey skywalker.

what smell makes you happy: lately i’ve been really keen on an elderflower and lime candle; usually, cinnamon, sweetgrass, and sage incense, leather, grass, books, tobacco.

morning, night, or other type: night, consistently; i have attempted extensively to break myself of it but i cannot alter the way i am wired. neither beautiful sunrise nor peaceful sunrise can coax me to enjoy mornings. i am trying to go to bed a bit earlier, though; i have been ill for some months and my gp has recently requested that i attempt ten-hour nights. a bit daunting as it’s practically half the day but i am making an effort.

what’s your work/profession: i am an academic! which is to say i am in grad school. i conduct research in the realm of english. i’m also a poet, and would pursue it full-time if i could; alas, poetry rarely if ever pays the bills.

anyway! double-tagging beloved @dear-galileo per her request as well as a few mutuals: @sagittastars, @bigmanroykent, @lemongizumo, @spcecowboyyy, & @backgroundagent3.

Thank you for the tag! <3

The origin of your username: it’s a nod to the background agents in Agents of SHIELD, who I thought were hilarious. 16 year old me thought this was supper funny and witty for some reason, so here we are. The only reason I’m not changing it is the hassle.

I always order this food: I never order food to my house, but at restaurants it’s usually pasta.

Current overused emoji: 😂, which I guess is a good thing.

Current favourite show: Agents of SHIELD, always.

Current favourite book: I think it’s Malibu Rising by Taylor Jenkins Reid, though it’s been a few months since I have read it. Out of the books I’m currently reading it’s Just for the Summer by Abby Jimenez.

Current favourite video game: The last video game I played was Mario Kart a couple of summers ago on my little cousin’s Wii. He absolutely destroyed me but it was fun!

Song on repeat: Taste Back by Harry Styles. I think it’s my favourite of the new album.

Last thing you got really into: The Dream by The Favors, making (and eating) crepes, walking around with no destination, books about maps.

Oddly specific thing that brings you joy: waking up in my aunt’s old bedroom at my grandparents house and hearing the birds drinking from their swimming pool in the summer.

Phone wallpaper: a selfie a bunch of my little cousins took and set as my wallpaper when they stole my phone at my grandma’s birthday. They do this at every family event and they get so excited, so I don’t have the heart to change it.

What smell makes you happy: the smell of earth when it rains after a long time. I find it very grounding because I associate it with home and it reminds me to make the most of the summer before it ends.

Morning, night, or other type: afternoon. It’s when I am happiest.

What’s your work/profession: I’m studying to be an architect!

AHH YAY what did you think??? and I’m excited for you to experience just for the summer!!

I loved it! I saw a few people say they didn’t enjoy this one as much so I was a bit worried, but I was pleasantly surprised. I loved the letters (pen pals is a hugely underrated trope imo), and how they became good friends before they started dating, and the fake dating was so good.

I thought the main characters were really well written. I loved Briana’s sense of humor, and how she was so protective over the people she loves. And Jacob was such a good mmc, so sweet and kind. Their friendship felt really natural too.

Jacob was so relatable for me, just the way she talked about his anxiety, and the way he felt around other people, him struggling to watch new shows, needing to know all the details before going somewhere, overthinking absolutely everything, etc. The way Abby Jimenez wrote about it was so good and real. And I loved how Briana understood him and did everything possible to help him and make him more comfortable. This was probably one of my favourite aspects of the book.

And all the little nods to Part of Your World!! I thought we’d just have a couple of mentions of Alexis but I was so glad she was more present and we got to see what her life looks like now. Felt more realistic this way. Also them going to the Grant House and spending some time in Wakan, and the way the town worked some of its magic on them like it did on Alexis and Daniel.

And as for Just for the Summer, predictably I didn’t even touch it the whole time I was away, but I’m reading it now. What I did do was listen to The Favors on the 8 hour bus there and back home, so at least I did something useful with my time. 😅

Do y’all think siblings in medieval times would look at the little beasts in illuminated manuscripts and point at each other like ‘ha! ‘Tis thou!’

Finnick Odair, victor of the 65th Hunger Games. (2024 version)

He was already a good fighter with the spears and knives he had found in the Cornucopia. When he received a silver parachute with a trident – which may be the most expensive gift I’ve ever seen given in the arena – it was all over. District 4’s industry is fishing. He’d been on boats his whole life. The trident was a natural, deadly extension of his arm. He wove a net out of some kind of vine he found, used it to entangle his opponents so he could spear them with the trident, and within a matter of days the crown was his.

I was planning to draw a single character like last week, but when this composition came to mind I was just so inspired. I think this turned out lovely, so I’m glad I stuck with it :)
