SNOWBLIND @aotoreiki - Tumblr Blog

If anything about my blog gives you trouble, on desktop or mobile, something that's not functioning right or that's presenting an accessibility problem, please let me know! I want it to be easy to use.

12 Apr 2026: Rules and pages on-blog are largely revised and up to date. Carrd is not up to date (though general info should be OK); unless you're on mobile, I recommend looking at the pages via the blog theme.

LINKS ❆ Carrd (mobile info) ❆ Blog roll ❆ Promo ❆ In-depth verse info ❆ Important + useful headcanons ❆ Almia meta collection

TO DO LIST:

Ease back into some kind of rp activities

Carrd updating and prettifying

Figure out what I'm doing with icon borders/editing Again ✔

Iron out a few blog theme fixes + inconsistencies ✔

Make a new sidebar image to replace Ice-Rengoku expression swap drawing that has "temporarily" filled it for the past 4+ years

Make banner and reference images for his muse info page

Update/rewrite individual guest and npc profile pages

Make some info pages' writing less bland

My Blog is strictly Anti Generative AI

I use no Generative AI to write for me.

I use no Generative AI to create images for me.

I do not wish to write with people who actively use Generative AI.

If you write with me, you won't ever have to fear any AI being used to doing my replies for you. I will not feed your writing to ChatGPT and the like, and I would appreciate it if you don't feed my writing to any kind of Generative AI either. You do not have my consent to do so.

If I reblog AI images/text or use images for aesthetics/graphics that were originally generated without realizing, please let me know. Generative AI images have infiltrated Pinterest and other sites so much, it can be hard to tell sometimes.

i've made a post like this before, but just a thought: i don't think that "personals" or "personal blogs" know that's what we call them. when you say "personals do not reblog or like posts" i don't think they understand what that means. like i think it's a term we made up for non-rp blogs, not what they call themselves.

instead, i think it would be best to start saying "if you are not a roleplay blog, please don't like/reblog my posts" or something like that instead. that makes it a little more clear to everyone.

#IM LITERALLT ALWAYS SAYING THIS #lowkey pmo when ppl are nasty abt non rp blogs like they expect them to know rpc etiquette tbh #rpc is the niche and not the norm don't expect random tumblr users scrolling search to Know the rpc rules #average user probably doesn't even check your blog and has no idea your rules page exists #mobile ooc tbt

greetings. I am still working on the carrd stuff and started with svern's as well. it has been recently brought to my attention by my friends that there's a nonzero chance I experience symptoms of ocd and let's just say that an obsession with making paragraphs look the correct shape does not mesh well with the fact that phone screens are of varying sizes and therefore display text and paragraphs on a carrd all differently

#the paragraph obsession thing is something i've had forever. this is one reason i take ages to do things in case anyone wanted to know #on a tumblr theme it's manageable because it displays at a fixed size but the carrd thing made me feel like i had bedbugs in my brain #i had to step away and not look at it for a while and come up with a new rule to replace the paragraph shape rule #ooc ✻ who opened the box

poor garchomp has been through at least 3 nicknames by now but I think I finally have a definitive one that hits multiple points

ganmaru (ga- calls to start of evos names, -maru from fukamaru gible's japanese name, whole name sounds similar to ganbaru being persistent/persevering like ganbari and such)

#thank you japanese-names.info you will forever be famous to me #a lot of ices pokemon nicknames have some double meaning or logic and that was missing from the prev names #or they have a hidden reference #ooc ✻ who opened the box

@topranged replied:

……..trainer id, please

^ THIS is the expression that he makes inside his head, along with an invisible, paced deep breath. His actual expression in reality is a casual and cordial smile, as he takes a moment to retrieve said ID card and present it to the Ranger. POLITE AND EASY; is that good enough?

"Sure, here ya go!"

(Reisei Fuyuno it says. The ID number indicates the original issue would have been over a decade ago, but the card has been kept up-to-date.)

#ic ✻ blue and cold #topranged #ice vc i stg

Oh he WOULD show his Trainer ID if a Ranger asked him to (you know, like a normal person), he might just be sweating a little about it on the inside. Well, depending on the person and situation. It's fine, it's fine!

#dash comm ✻ why did you just crack a grin?#ic ✻ blue and cold

I DID IT. EXPANDABLE SECTIONS IS REAL

(don't look at the whole carrd yet still. again I cannot stop anyone but only this page has been updated)

#NOW IM GOING THE FUCK TO BED #ooc ✻ who opened the box #it was kind of a pain to configure the code but I do like to poke at code <- not a coder

just realised I've technically been on rp tumblr for 6 years now. scary

#we don't talk about early times i had no idea wtf I was doing #I've had regular tumblr for a couple more years than that #ooc ✻ who opened the box

new divider to mask the tumblr dashboard image borders for him also

#can't be any thinner bc it would use either transparent space (fails to mask dash border) or make the image too thin to move in the editor #ooc ✻ who opened the box

✽ NPF images fix v4.0 by glenthemes

A plugin that cleans up the appearance of NPF images on Tumblr themes, allowing them to mimic the appearance of legacy photo posts. Only applies to Tumblr themes, not the Tumblr dashboard.

✦ What is NPF?

"Neue Post Format" — prior to est. 2020, users could create posts of a primary type (i.e. text, photo, quote, link, chat, video). In recent years, Tumblr introduced NPF as the only available post type (i.e. everything becomes a text post) despite the post editor showing the illusion of different post types. NPF images can also refer to images between paragraphs (inline images).

✦ Features:

turns images HD if available

prevents shorter images from stretching / overflowing

custom photoset spacing

custom caption spacing

improved lightbox functionality

supports legacy blockquote captions, unnested captions, and modern captions

automatic infinite scroll support

[optional] moves main photoset to top of post

[optional] adds original poster source to captionless npf posts

PREVIEWS + HOW TO INSTALL ✽

#applying this across the sideblogs was today's main task #ooc ✻ who opened the box #TUMBLR REMEMBERED MY OOC TAG !!!!!!!!

Ok, so I know I had somewhat recently made an icon border / redone existing icon borders (on applicable blogs), but I'm sure by now a decent amount of people have been afflicted by this Tumblr update:

Wherein they enclose your transparent pngs in a grey border with rounded corners for some godforsaken reason.

So I'm making a simpler icon border again, that creates the illusion of there not being any grey 1px border around the icons

I noticed from natdex pkmn icons the border isn't really visible even though technically it must be there, so I'm doing something similar, with a transparent 1px around and then just a plain border. Like so

And adding a gradient to make it pretty. Which is an idea I did have a while ago, but for some reason I didn't like how it turned out at the time I think, idk I must not have picked the right colours or something

Yay!

If Tumblr decides to get rid of the grey borders again I can just add the name back and apply the gradient ig. (I'm sure some people are / will be using extensions to hide it too, but I like to try and make my graphics fairly friendly to viewing without too much custom modification)

Rip the extra spacing to get it to not display inflated on the tumblr app though.

#in a way this is good because i like this gradient border better than the previous one i had and it got me to experiment w. it again #but it is annoying bc I was happy having the name there. oh well such is life #ooc ✻ who opened the box

#i own this book for these illustrations specifically #i wish i could figure out how to reliably replicate the way satoshi yamamoto drew ice's hair #muse visage ✻ my name’s ice!

You can also reply to or like this post and I will message you about plotting... or something... I fear my brain is still full of rust so idk how useful I will be but I think I need to just try doing things

Send “ ✏“ plus a scenario you’ve always wanted to rp with our muses and I’ll tell you whether or not I’m interested!

(If you cannot see the emoji send “Pencil” plus a scenario.)

#waves feebly hi. trying to learn how to plot again. you can send basically whatever scenarios #memes ✻ want to team up with me?

Added a to-do list to my pinned post yay. I didn't feel the urge to re-edit my rules page wording for the umpteenth time which is a good sign

Downside, I feel like the writing on sections of Ice's muse and verse page is... kinda bland and swagless but hopefully I can improve that later

#have to be nice to myself because i had not written much of anything in like. a couple of years before last rewriting it lol...#the necessary info is there it's just not very tasty. but it's fine for now. i should actually write rp before touching it again anyway #ooc ✻ who opened the box

Ok, I have the upcoming week off so maybe I can do smth across my blogs here, because it has been On My Mind.

Sorry if any of my last ooc posts seemed like I was overreacting, I was having a Bad Brain Time but did not properly recognise/handle it
