As how some butches tie their butchness into their gender identity, I very much feel the same with my femmeness. I don’t identify with womanhood, I’m not a woman, I’m a femme. When I dated a man, I felt so out of place in my femininity, like any time I tried to engage with it I was putting on an ill fitting costume. I developed gender dysphoria, wore baggy clothes, hated how much I had to force myself to “like” it when a man would express sexual interest in me. But since the realisation that I was made for lesbianism, suddenly being feminine felt so right. It’s a performance, sure, but now it’s mine, it’s for the dykes, it’s for butches, and when they express interest in my femininity and sexuality it’s downright euphoric. Life is better when you find your place with your gender expression and know who you want to invite to see your performance.

I DO think tumblr's dev team has been instructed to constantly implement new features and that's why they keep tweaking the UI in goofy ways. I imagine this is an upper management thing, so even if we say "well don't change anything and just maintain the status quo" they'll continue to make other changes anyway.

I will admit I REALLY like the recent improvements they've added to tumblr's search (you can exclude terms now!! you can search multiple tags!! and time frames!!) so it's not like they're incapable of adding useful features. it might be mutually beneficial for us as users if we were more vocal about things we want and don't want. Some features I'd like to see added:

spoilerable text

spoilerable images

the return of hover text!! remember when we had that?

ability to embed videos in reblogs

ANIMATED GIF ICONS!!!!!!!!!!!!

the ability to turn off other people's animated gif icons

the ability to filter original posts on a user's ENTIRE blog, not just a tag/search

more html support, like what if we could build tables

adding reactions to replies! I'm glad we can like them more but it'd be nice if we could take this further

embeddable tiktoks?? I don't even use tiktok but I remember trying to embed one in like 2020 and I'm surprised we still can't! even vines were able to be embedded

being able to search in your DMs. not being able to do this is why I tend to redirect mutuals to discord

MUTING USERS POSTS/COMMENTS WITHOUT BLOCKING THEM! just cause I don't want to see someone's posts doesn't mean I don't want us to never interact ever

a mutual-only dashboard feed

a feed for the blogs you're subscribed to

get rid of tumblr tv lmao I've literally never used it

"mark as read" button for communities without opening them

please dear god no AI shit unless it's a way for me to filter/block it easier

several of these I've submitted support tickets for under "feedback", and if there's anything you feel strongly about I suggest you do too!

I would die for Tessa. I would find her 200 toothbrushes.

So it looks like Tessa has been using these veggietales toothbrushes for ages, but has misplaced the stash.

Love the idea of non-verbal Baby Kaeya who's COMPLETELY silent for the first 3 months before dropping the bomb on them on a random Tuesday.

At breakfast...

*Kaeya gesturing towards the sugarcubes*

Diluc: "Oh, you want these? Here you go,"

Kaeya: "Thanks."

Diluc: "Yeah no proble"

Diluc:

Diluc: "you can TALK??????"

Cartoonishly, time stops for a bit. Crepus froze mid reading, Adelinde standing in the hall, Elzer's blinking rapidly because did he hear that right?

This genuinely scares Baby Kaeya for a bit and he immediately backtracks to the horror of everyone there.

Kaeya shrinking into himself, sensing that he fucked up somehow and trying to fix it: "sorry!"

This sent everyone into a panic because WAIT NO PLEASE KEEP TALKING TO US and they all try to reassure him that no!! It's fine! They like his voice and slightly obvious accent and it's very nice that he's speaking!!

But this was so overwhelming for Kaeya that he literally did not speak another word for two whole weeks.

Outside...

Diluc: "Ohhh look over there! I see lampgrass flowers! They're the prettiest ones,"

Kaeya: "Hm. I've always liked the red spinny ones more,"

Diluc:

And you can VISIBLY see Diluc holding his breath to prevent another gasp or outburst because one, NO WAY is he scaring Kaeya from speaking again and two... That's just blatantly false. Small lampgrass is infinitely prettier than windwheel asters thank you very much
