well. after fighting with tumblr for actual months to make anything functional, i finally got a new blog up and running. (though i'm still unable to upload photos here, hence the move)

head on over to @dawnarmor for new things periodically.

there will be no daily queue, no requests (at least, for the time being. i'm testing the waters,) and no dedicated postong schedule. another big difference will be post variety. sometimes it will be layouts, sometimes it will be dividers. sometimes it will be fandom-specific, sometimes it will have no fandom attachment.

i'm really hoping this works. i cannot always change the wifi, computer, browser, and make a new account when tumblr decides it's done with me.

i will not be active here anymore. go to the new blog for new posts.

terrible news, gang

i've been trying to upload the images for azul's birthday layout, and tumblr genuinely will not let me add any images to posts. i get an error no matter the size, transparency, file type, etc. it will not let me do anything.

however

i anticipated this. everyone go to @glitchedout for new posts. right now, it just has reblogs of my psd downloads, but i am working on the necessary navigation posts.

the current plan is for the first official new post to be azul's birthday layout.

[blastcycle]

all of my psd downloads have been reblogged / posted to @glitchedout

the plan is still to start posting edits on azul's birthday with his new card

[blastcycle]

tumblr still does not work for me, on any account at this point, and i have to take roundabout solutions to accomplish the bare minimum. no solution has worked.

i don't see a way for me to continue sharing anything i've made. posts that were drafted have become entirely broken—even the original files. the only thing i did with any of these images was put them in a tumblr draft.

i can't do anything of note with tumblr anymore.

here's azul's birthday set.

as it stands, this may just be the last image post tumblr lets me make. desktop is a constant fight, mobile is fine if i'm only making text posts or reblogging with minimal tags. i'm using a mobile browser just to reblog this—nothing else has worked.

i'll work on getting the queue moved over tonight and tomorrow.

i will be opening requests (and generally posting) more than just twst, so other things will start appearing. it'll be mostly twst to start as i get the queue refilled.

as a reminder, i always queue new posts on magicam-monsters to archive them.

with how unstable tumblr has been for me lately, i want to make sure everyone is aware of my archival side blog in the event a post seemingly vanishes from here. as far as i am aware, that hasn't happened yet, but that is a known issue with tumblr.

i'm putting together an alternative edit blog on my main account as a back up in the event that this blog becomes non-functional. i really hope i never have to use it, but i have seen many blogs become broken over the years, and all the signs are there.

while i wait to see if my phone can be repaired, and unfortunately, delay requests until i have this sorted, i'm working on finishing the psds i have started but not finished. as you may have seen, i'm working on perfume-inspired psds.

i already have one psd finished that's inspired by a birch & besom scent, but i'm going to let everyone else decide which fragrance i finish next.

which birch & besom scent should i make a psd inspired by next? (scent notes below)

fae smut

hot gargoyles near you!

mothma'am

selkie

Voting ended onFeb 19

scent notes:

fae smut — yuzu zest and raspberry muddled with pomegranate syrup, sun bleached driftwood, ripe dragonfruit dripping down bare wrists, and the fuzzy, musky haze of a perfect afternoon

hot gargoyles near you! — pandan poundcake, chiseled stone, a patinated weathervane, and bird feathers carried on a metropolitan wind

mothma'am — snuggly cashmere accord and the fluffiest sweet patchouli, paired with a dreamy duo of vanillas and spun sugar, lightly sprinkled with black pepper

selkie — dripping stalactites in a hidden grotto, a collection of smooth sea glass & pearlescent nacre, and irresistibly juicy pineapples

in an effort to make tumblr function properly, i have switched the scheduled psd posts to regular queued posts and set the queue to once per day. every other day will be a psd post.

i have no idea if this will work, but having roughly 30 scheduled posts could be what's making tumblr run so poorly for me. i've had a lot of trouble with the queue in the past.

i cannot reliably fill requests until this issue is solved. sometimes it takes days to make one layout post and put it in the queue. sometimes tumblr refuses an image altogether, no matter the size, and i have to give up on that particular post.

we'll see how this goes. my posts will noticeably lessen (from three posts per day to one) but if it solves the issue, it will be better in the long run.

i will leave the queue section of the request rules and guidelines as-is for the time being.
