nastiest trick in the book is getting you genuinely deeply attached to a character whose name sounds fucking stupid in any other context. this WILL happen to you at some point in your life.

just saw a 'comments' tab on someones blog you know where the following and likes tabs would be if enabled and it was just showing all the replies theyve made on peoples posts. this is fascinating when did this feature come out

[parakeet]

EMERGENCY - ITS AUTO ENABLED!

if you've made replies on posts there is now a tab on your blog showing every post youve replied to and your reply.

if this is not what you want, either go to your blog and click comments and disable it from there or just go to your individual blogs setting pages. just change it from blue to grey if you dont want everyone to see your replies AND the post you're replying to

PLEASE BE ADVISED that it is set to disabled for blogs that have not made any replies but it will turn ON if you reply with that blog in the future.! i just tested it with my main, which was greyed out but it turned on the moment i left a test reply

figured i'd get the word out bc i have not seen a single mention of this and i'm sure there are plenty of people who maybe comment on things they don't want on display for everyone to see on their blog lol. you can still look at your replies with it toggled off just no one else can, like locking the following and likes list

[parakeet]

so for some reason this feature was actually announced on the tumblr engineering blog. interesting choice not to reblog it to the staff or tumblr blog, esp considering they asked for user input on how to implement it, but i suppose considering the response to the last update maybe the replies would be too overwhelming...

so couple of clarifications. comments are disabled as default for primary blogs that have their likes disabled. they are seemingly enabled for all other blogs that have replied to posts

posts you comment on may show on your followers 'for you' page if you leave your replies publically available. they may, in the future, show in on your followers dashboard if your follower goes to their dash settings and enables this. apparently, if your likes are enabled, your followers can already see those on the dash if they've gone into preferences and selected to do so, which I was unaware of, and that seems to be disabled at default, but it's possible i disabled it previously and forgot about it ig

[ID: A section of the Tumblr settings, where under the replies heading, there is a toggle that is turned on that reads "Share your comments" with the description "Make comments created by this blog visible in the blog page, and to the followers, in their feeds". /end ID]

All you left were burn marks

[anistarrose]

[ID: art of Professor Sycamore and Lysandre from Pokémon, zoomed in on their hands. First, they're holding hands tenderly, then second, both their hands are trembling, Lysandre's hand being partially engulfed in flame. Last, Lysandre's hand has disappeared, with a wisp of flame in its place, and Sycamore's hand still shakes, covered in burn marks as he reaches out to nothing. End ID.]

"is it better to read non fiction or novels?" No. It is better to read than not to read full stop. That is the only argument. Let's not create yet another fake scale of who is a better reader. I am so fucking tired of this kind of discourse. If you only read graphic novels you are still reading and that is better than not reading. If you only read middle grade books despite being in your 30s you are still reading and that is better than no reading. If you read one single book a year it is still good because you are reading. And that makes you a reader.

i am not going to die on this hill i am going to kill on it and win. i cannot fucking stand all this bullshit discourse that one way or another tries to make a list of who is an actual reader and who is a fake reader, or who is a better reader or a more real reader. that only discourages people who might want to pick the hobby up. “if you only read certain stuff you are not an actual reader” but if you read “too much” you are faking it, and this thing is actually better than that one. noooo if you are struggling with your time and still manage to squeeze in a lighthearted read that is so good bc guess what? you are reading. okay i'll stop ranting. for now. cris speaks. bookblr. booklr.

i'm so glad that toby fox hasn't relented on alphys being totally fandombrained in deltarune bc he was kind of saying he was a bit worried that her UT dialogue had aged poorly in the 10th anni stream iirc and its like, toby, i need you to understand the fact that its aged poorly has only made it 6000 times more charming to me and in fact it's even funnier if you keep it up in deltarune so that she has this cheugy 2010s tumblr fandombrain sense of the world that totally disenfranchises her from the teens. like it actually works even better here that she has all those cringe fail "i don't want to revert to my primal form" level eccentricities. she's seriously one of a kind because it's the most lovingly handcrafted depiction of cringe imaginably
