this is less hot take but i remember misreading sonic.exe round 2 so badly i somehow deluded myself into thinking that cole is secretely x and all the logic that made zero sense was actually foreshadowing for the unpublished reveal (that also made zero sense)
all im saying is that i would love to see a round 2 retake that actually does this as a plot point (or a good round 2 retake in general, please i unironically kinda like sonic.exe round 2 and i wanna see someone actually write it well)
i prefer the JC design of Zetzubo over the re-design
the new one’s outfit is just so ugly and un-flattering to the design, AND DONT GET ME STARTED ON THE SHOES
i know i shouldn’t feel this way but i JUST DO MAN IDFK, like if the new one had like a similar-ish outfit to the og, at least in vibes i think i’d like it
everyone loves to hate terfs until they realise that it actually entails rejecting bioessentialism entirely and then suddenly you’re “taking things too seriously” and you “don’t have a sense of humour” like i’m sorry but saying protect the dolls doesn’t make you immune to terfism it has seeped into every corner of mainstream feminism and unless you’re actively searching it out and checking your own biases you will always be at risk of sharing a space with terfs
“Only women can—” nope. “But all men—” nah. “The divine femininity of—” gonna stop you right there. “Everyone born ama—” if you finish that sentence I’ll kill you. “Men don’t experience—” you’re wrong. “Gender isn’t real but sex is imm—” *loud incorrect buzzer*
It also goes without saying that bioessentialism inherently can’t be trans inclusive no matter how hard you try. “All men including trans men—” probably not. “This is only a woman’s issue—” is it really? “Afabs only—” why? “All trans men are like—” what? what are they like? finish the sentence i dare you.
Like they tried to change Reblogs and people rightfully got up in arms, this is a LOT worse. In order to have access to any sort of thing dubbed mature, and We haveALL seen what they think is mature, Everything from a black and white photo of a black woman's arm, to posts about IUD recalls, to a nude painted by a 17th century artist, to anything involving the word Trans; you have to send your personal information to a third party site that WILL get hacked, and you will be doxxed. And they can say "Oh shit, well it wasn't us who sent your name address and gender identity to Moldovan teenagers, here's a couple extra minutes in the ball pit.
That's bad enough!!!!!!!! But the entire idea of needing permission from state authorities to access anything labeled mature by our friendly AI overlords is some fucking Boll shit. Die Gedenken Sind Frie baby. This is all a reaction to people getting uppity about their lowly lowly rights and is being propped up by the same bad actors tht have made life unlivable. Fuck that shit.
"Well it's only being rolled out in Brazil and UK" Yeah, to start. "Well they're being forced to do this by laws." YOu know it's always really funny when these tech giants (Or whatever you call owning tumblr dot com) get really antsy about laws considering they pick and choose which ones they abide by.
This is a breaking point and it's going to be very interesting to see how we proceed from here.
Where's the fucking. The form. The fucking form. Hang on, lemme find it.

on twitter i posted a thread of the racist (and other questionable) shit ghost said on their bluesky before they deleted it (without any sort of apology or even acknowledgement)
ill attach screenshots below the read more for those who dont have twitter, as well as extra thoughts i have. here is the link to the mediafire with all the screenshots. wayback machine link to their bluesky (there are impersonator accounts, such as "ghost-and-pal" lacking plural "pals", that is not ghost)
Edit 3/22: Here is the doc about my experience with Ghost. Hopefully this is the last time I need to talk about them publicly. Thank you for listeng
(original tweet photos)
(comment talking abt how their song titled "theres an elite cabal" whatever is a known nazi dogwhistle)
(peoples reaction to the native comments)
(their "my friends abandoned me" claim despite their own channel bio in 2025 disproving it)
(their poor excuse as to why covetous doesnt have a tw and doesnt need it i guess)
(some other misc weird comments)
i do want to add; they are clearly going through some mental shit, but thats not an excuse to act this way. they are 28 years old. this has been a cyclical pattern for over a decade of acting weird online, crying "ableism! its my disorders! this is harassment!" when called out for hurting others, purging accounts to erase evidence, and then disappearing long enough from social media for others to forget. it is not intrinsic to any disorder to be racist and refuse to apologise. if they actually felt bad, why did they delete their bluesky and dodge any accountability? its not parasocial or ableist to call someone out for being fucking weird.
carbon monoxide (part of the team who worked on QA) made two good threads, one talking about ghosts behaviour in regards to mental illness, as well as another talking about different treatment methods, because as long as youre still alive, there is always still hope. ghost comments abt being anti recovery and anti therapy put such a foul taste in my mouth.
there is a reason i have been gone from social media for basically years and havent posted. ive wanted to say something for so long, but i was so fucking scared. i think we all to some extent believed the lie that ghost is the ultimate victim who can do no wrong and any criticism towards them is ableism or harassment. i have more to say but thats what my doc will be for.
common sense dont harass anyone especially ghost (but also dont mistake asking for accountability and an apology as harassment
)
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!
We rolled out a significant change to how notes work on reblogs, and the reaction has been strong. We're not going to pretend otherwise.
First things first: We're reversing the change. Your feedback in comments, emails, and especially reblogs, made clear that the rollout created problems we need to address before moving forward. We also should have communicated this differently from the start, and we didn't.
We still believe there's a better version of how reblogs can work. One that gives every voice in a chain the credit it deserves. But we want to get there with you.
In the coming days we'll share more on how we plan to do that, including ways to work directly with some of you on this and future changes before they ship.

It’s very clear that you all have strong feelings about Tumblr and about this change. We hear you. The passion people have for how Tumblr works is one of the things that makes this place special.
As this rolls out over the next few days and you explore it, we’ll keep reading your replies and reblogs, so please keep sharing your questions, concerns, and ideas.
Your creativity has always been the heart of Tumblr, whether you’re the original poster or adding something brilliant in the reblogs, and nothing about this change is meant to limit that.
If you’d like to talk directly beyond the comments, leave a reply and we’ll follow up with as many of you as we can. We want to work with you to make Tumblr better.
