@flicker-bot
“Happy Birthday, Brightspark! I love you.”
Chase hands over a brightly wrapped present with a hug and a kiss.
"Thank you, dad!" Flicker hugged him back, smiling brightly. "I love you too." No matter how many birthdays he'd had on Earth by now - and even though he'd spent some of them helping others with rescue missions - they always felt very special to him. To spend the day with people he'd come to call his family was something he would never take for granted.
Happy Birthday, Flicker!
Draw Heatwave from RB I'm begging I LOVE HIM
he's got a super cool design... hope u like it anon ^_^
Chase cradled his warm cube between his servos and simply listened. It was obvious that whatever Flicker was leading up to was important to him, therefore, it was important to the policebot as well.
It was hard not to reach for his son when the young mech’s voice began to shake, one servo had already lifted almost automatically, but he slowly lowered it when Flicker indicated that he wasn’t finished speaking.
Chase felt a tiny pang of disappointment upon learning that Flicker wouldn’t be joining him on the path of law enforcement, though it wasn’t directed at Flicker himself, merely at the concept.
“I want you to know that I am incredibly proud of you. Forging your own path is always challenging, but, no matter what you’ve decided, I will always be here to assist you in any capacity that you require.” He set his now empty cube aside and offered Flicker a warm hug.
“So, don’t keep me in suspense, what have you decided to do?”
Even though he'd anticipated it, Flicker was still relieved to know for certain that Chase would support his decision. He hugged him back tightly and remained there for a moment, grateful beyond words for having someone like him in his life.
Finally Flicker moved to pick up the energon cube he'd set down before, and he held it between his servos, looking thoughtful. He wished he would've been able to lay out a detailed plan already, but at the same time he knew he wasn't expected to figure this all out on his own.
"What I've decided to do is... um..."
The young mech was drumming his digits on the side of the cube nervously - whereas he'd been well prepared before, now he was clearly thinking out loud.
"It's... something that, uh... that may not have been done before. A-at least, maybe not in Cybertron, I don't know, but... but maybe it's something we should have."
"What happened yesterday... I'm glad we were able to help them. But, um... I realized that their situation probably wasn't unique. I-I don't mean just what was happening between them, but the way they were, you know... alone with their struggles. And I think... I'm sure there are a lot of people like that out there."
Flicker paused to refuel, and to collect his thoughts. Setting down the empty cube, he glanced at Chase, smiling shyly. He hoped he was making sense.
"So what I want to do is... I want to be someone they can share their struggles with."
Flicker got up and started pacing around while talking, seemingly unaware of doing so. His words became more confident as he explained how he could be there for anyone who needed someone's help - someone to help them with a burdensome task they couldn't do alone, someone to accompany them to a new activity they were too scared to try by themselves, someone to walk them to school to protect them from being stopped by bullies... Someone to help with struggles that didn't fall within any traditional rescue field, but were still struggles they needed help with.
"Not everyone has a friend they can turn to." Flicker stopped pacing, and when he looked at Chase, his expression was that of someone's who's just found their true purpose. "So I want to be that friend to whoever needs it."
THANK YOU for sticking around!
Thank you for following me
Thank you for dealing with my awkward phases
Thank you for dealing with my emotional moments
Thank you for sending in Asks
Thank you for waiting patiently during my hiatuses
Thank you for being such a good group of followers!
Yeah...maybe you should have Chase...
update genuinely so doodoo ass. if you reblog from ANYTHING OTHER THAN THE ORIGINAL POST, this includes reblogs without additions, INCLUDING SELF-REBLOGS, IT DOESN'T ADD TO THE TOTAL REBLOG COUNT. FOR SOME REASON. AND YOU CAN'T EVEN VIEW THE ONES WITH TAGS UNDER THE REBLOG TAB ANYMORE WHICH IS LIKE HALF THE FUN OF TUMBLR!!!!
literally the only way to see the true reblog count atm is loading all reblogs in the reblog graph which is the most inconvenient shit ever. roll it back, tumblr, good lord. I'm seeing posts that in reality have like 6k reblogs only visibly having like 100 because of this, that's a SEVERE cutdown of notes
I need to like make a chart to explain what I'm saying like. I am straight up not even talking about reblogs with comment being their own posts and stealing notes from op. I am talking about bare reblogs with no comments. because somehow these are affected even though they shouldn't be.
every reblog in the chart I presented is a bare, no comment reblog. and yes, reblogging from ANY of the ones in green including the self-reblog doesn't add to the total reblog count. only reblogging DIRECTLY from the ORIGINAL POST does. for some reason.
the real number of reblogs in this case would be 8. the SHOWN, VISIBLE number on the post itself would be 4. and you would only be able to see the tags of the green reblogs in the reblog tab, you would NOT be able to see the tags of the ones in red. for some reason. literally the only way you can access them is through the reblog graph.
remove the separator reblogs / likes thing
this is not going to remove the functionality of this weird feature, but it will remove the ugliness that comes with it, as you'll see in the screenshots provided below .
to make the required changes, you will need to get the stylus extension that you can grab at the following links : chrome , firefox , opera , github .
firstly, you must write a new style by clicking on the plus sign . name it tumblr or something similar, just so you know what it's for . then, change the code 1 dropdown to urls on the domain - in the box type : tumblr.com .
copy & paste the following code into the big box below & then click on save next to the beautify button on the left-hand side .
._Krz6 { display: none!important; }
once you've done that, refresh your tumblr & you should see that the weird separators are now gone .
if anything changes & i need to make an update or help you out in some other way, send an ask to let me know !
The new update and rping: how does this look for you?
I've been here since 2012 and have personally been here to see almost every bad tumblr update and this is one of the top 3 for sure. While this will not break rping in it's entirety it will make it pretty hard to view threads in any way other than searching the tag on a blog. Please bare with these screenshots this is gonna look very confusing.
Every thread with anything new in the reblog body essentially is now a twitter qrt
To test this I used one of my other blogs. Because I made a reblog with only tags with the blog thegirlsaresinging it did not essentially create a qrt. It is just a note in the original post. This will mean the notes will look very fucky because individual likes and reblogs are now per "qrt" instead of the entire post. It's weird. But for us rpers who don't usually mass reblog other people's posts or like them this isn't... as terrible? However if you make a resource or graphic and people are adding things in the main body, it might fuck up the notes and especially if you get noticed by the algorithim.
So. Anything new in the main body (aka any reply) = Essentially a new thread/qrt. If it's just a reblog with nothing added to it or only adding tags = it's notes added to the original post.
Can you still trim threads?
Thank fucking Christ yes we can I was so afraid this would break it.
So what does it all mean?
RP threads are actually less hit than the rest of the website with this awful update. However, if you make graphics or other types of original content for rpers, you might want to heavily consider adding something like to please only add commentary in the tags. However, if you want to reblog it with commentary such as an update, be prepared for the notes to look really fucky with it when people like and reblog it.
Tumblr is a place to express yourself, discover yourself, and bond over the stuff you love. It's where your interests connect you with your

The Frankie and Heatwave dynamic needs more appreciation
Rescue bots as BotBots
;:Of course, I will be there momentarily.:;
As curious as he was to hear what Flicker wanted to talk about, Chase still took the time to prepare some hot energon for Heatwave. The fire bot could be ornery after dealing with various emergencies, and Kade, all night. Fittingly enough, it had been Flicker who discovered that a hot drink did wonders for their leader’s personality after a chilly overnight shift.
When Chase emerged on the roof, he was carrying two steaming cubes with him. Settling carefully at Flicker’s side, he offered one out to the young mech.
“What did you wish to talk about? You sounded excited over the comm.”
While waiting for Chase, Flicker was getting antsy, and he was pacing back and forth again. He wanted to tell him, but at the same time, he was nervous to tell him. The young mech was mildly surprised when it occured to him that he couldn't recall the last time he'd felt this way... A lot of time had passed since he'd started to settle down in this firehouse that had eventually become his home. It felt so natural to be a part of this family, there was rarely a moment anymore where Flicker found himself feeling insecure.
Upon hearing the door open, Flicker stopped in his tracks. When he turned around and saw Chase step out, holding two cubes of hot energon, his plating reflecting the first rays of sunrise, the nervous knot in Flicker's tanks eased. There was nothing in this world he couldn't tell him.
Flicker sat down and thanked Chase when he offered one of the cubes. He took a long sip of the hot energon, enjoying the warmth that slowly spread in his system after the past few hours spent in cool night air. Then he looked at the police bot, his expression now intent, almost solemn.
"Dad," Flicker began, then paused. He realized the cube he was holding was shaking, and he set it down. He exhaled, then began again.
"Dad, I appreciate everything you've ever taught me. I couldn't have asked for a better father and a tutor. Sometimes I still can't believe that my dream of joining this team became true, or how far I've come from who I was when I arrived on Earth, and... a-and it's all thanks to you."
Flicker was smiling, but his voice started to quiver. He paused to collect himself, and held up his servo, as if to say, don't hug me yet - I need to say this first.
"I've been thinking what I want to specialize in, and I know I still need to train more, but I think I'm ready to choose now." Flicker looked down at his servos, hesitating. "Our missions have really helped me to learn more about different fields of rescuing. I know how important every one of them is, and I know that each of you would really appreciate another Rescue bot helping you out, but... um..."
He took a deep breath. There really wasn't an easy way to say it. He looked up at Chase again. "I've decided not to join any of the current fields in our team."
Flicker had considered following in Chase's footsteps and joining the law enforcement... but he knew it wouldn't have been what he truly wanted. It hurt to admit it, but he owed the police bot the truth.
Heatwave had jumped forward to avoid getting hit by the falling tree, but at the same moment he was sure he’d heard a big splash behind him. Hoping that it was just clods of dirt knocked loose from the tree’s roots, the firebot struggled to regain his footing on the slick leaves and mud coating the ground.
“Flicker? you okay, kid?” Catching hold of a sturdy nearby branch, Heatwave used it to pull himself up onto the tree and peeked over to the other side. He couldn’t spot Flicker anywhere, but there was a large chunk of earth missing right at the edge of the swollen river.
The firebot tried his comm one more time, but received only static. Cursing under his breath, he decided the best corse of action would be to follow the flow of the river as best he could and look for clues while calling out for the missing mech.
Vehicle mode was out of the question in trees this thick, so he began jogging along the riverbank, stopping every so often to call out Flicker’s name and listen for a response.
As Flicker pushed himself off the ground and looked around, he felt like his processor was overwhelmed and had trouble running smoothly. He didn't know where he was, he didn't know where Heatwave was, the weather was getting worse, the firebot could have gotten hurt when the tree fell-
Stop, he commanded himself and shut his optics for a moment. Panicking wouldn't help. He needed to stay calm. What had Blades and Cody said when they'd talked about camping safety in that scouts meeting? If you got lost in woods, you needed to calm down... which Flicker was doing already, so that was good... and then observe and form a plan.
The young mech glanced at the river behind him. He could find his way back by walking next to the river... but the wind was getting stronger, and trees lining the bank were swaying hard. He was worried about Heatwave, but he needed to consider his own safety, too. Heatwave might've gotten injured, but getting hit by a tree wasn't enough to kill him... right?
Flicker shook his helm and started focusing again. He looked around once more and saw a clearing some distance away. He didn't feel comfortable moving too far away from the river... but he needed to get to someplace where he was out of the way if more trees were to fall over.
The ground was muddy and slippery, and by the time he got to the clearing, Flicker's plating was covered in stains. He turned around, checked that his headlight was on, and then started calling out for Heatwave, again and again. Please be okay, please be okay, please be okay...

💖 — what was one of the greatest/happiest moments you’ve had in the rpc?
//Oh there's too many to choose from... I appreciate all the interactions my muses have, and every now and then I go back to read full threads/muse tags. I would say it's not a single moment, but a string of events that have taken place <3//
🎁 — what have you accomplished in the rpc that you’re proud of?
//Oh I don't think I've accomplished really anything in the grand scheme of things. There are a lot of blogs out there that have a deep-rooted place in the community; I don't think I'm one of them. It's not anything I would be particularly striving for, though - to be honest, I can't recall ever having belonged to any community. Yes, I've been a fan of many things, but I've never felt as though I would be a vital part of a bigger group. (I've tried on Discord, and it did not end well.)//
💯 — share three random facts about yourself that your mutuals may not know about you.
//Hmmmm my main in multi-player Nintendo games is Shy Guy, I use a fidget toy (ONO roller) pretty much daily, aaand I have a Sylveon and Rockruff plushes on my desktop representing my Pokémon OC and Prof. Kukui's Rockruff uwu//
A Christmas Carol🎄🕯
😗 — what are some of your favorite things to do when you have some time to yourself?
MUNDAY ASKS!
//Oh you know... animating (says in a voice of someone who's barely repressing the urge to start rambling for the next hour)
I've yapped about it before, but animating brings me more joy than any other activity and I intend to keep doing it for the rest of my life! There's so much to learn, so much to experiment with, so many ideas to do, that you can never run out of things to animate... I feel fortunate to be able to engage in something so wonderful in my daily life!
I also enjoy drawing on my sketchbook, casual gaming and reading. There's also a handful of occasional hobbies like tabletop roleplaying that I also enjoy!//
