Summary:
Lenore is taken antiquing for the first time by Berenice. As is common in most antique stores, their finds are unique and meaningful. Not only to them, but their loved ones as well.
greatest dynamic in the world IS strange, eccentric asshole and their normal and polite friend who on closer inspection is actually worse in deeply weird and unexpected ways
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!
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.
Looking back into the history of my "fuck staff" tag because today's big announcement has me stewing in anger, and I encountered a change from a while back where they removed profile pics (for some dumb reason) and the uproar was loud enough to get the decision reversed (even as noted idiot cyle argued in favor of the terrible UI change, and even now is reblogging shit that paints himself as the superior intellect plagued by the peons of the userbase).
So yeah, send those feedback tickets, make a fuss. They've reversed course before, no reason they can't do it again.
Tumblr is rolling out a new reblog/notes system that completely disregards creators. In their new system, they're taking a twitter-style approach where reblogs will have their own notes that DO NOT contribute to the original post's notes.
Because of this, creators will no longer be able to see an accurate display of likes/reblogs/etc. This is completely altering the way feedback and responses to works are going to be received on this website.
If you come across a fan work that you enjoy, please take the extra step to go to OPs original post, and leave your comment/like/reblog there. Or go one step further and send an ask to OP directly to tell them what you liked!
I really hope Tumblr staff reverses course and reverts to the original reblog system for the sake of the large base of creators who use this site to share their works, but until then, please be considerate and make sure the creators here see/feel the love.
I hope you take anonymous tips. You know how toxic the Nevermore tags have gotten on Tumblr lately? There is a Discord server that a group of people from Tumblr hang out in where pretty much all they do is talk about their Nevermore grievances.
They create new discourse for fun, and make memes together to upset people on the tag. One of the loudest voices in there is the Nevermore Confessions mod. They use that blog to start drama because they get bored. That potential man meme Red commented on, they made it together to provoke her, because she'd just commented on another post so they knew she was logged in. Then they dogpiled her in the comments and reblogs when she took the bait, and chased her off Tumblr again.
Honestly their behavior towards Red in general is creepy and parasocial, they talk about her constantly and slander her like it's a sport. It gets really personal and they make up lies about her together like pretending she sends them death threats even though they all know she never has. They even joke about how they'd be canceled if anyone found out. I am a long-time lurker in there, and I have screencaps but can't send them to you anonymously.
You don't need to take my word for it though, it's a public server in the Discord directory, under the tag nevermore-webtoon. It is called "Quoth the Raven, Nevermore." You can join and look for yourself. I think they should be exposed. This small group of people has talked about trying to get Red to quit the series and they've even paid for Patreon just so they can stalk her. I feel bad watching it happen but I can't go up against them myself, they scare me.
Anon, thanks for your reporting, and don't worry, you're not alone- our reporters have been observing QtRN personally for quite some time. This gave us the final push to really want to share this server with the fandom as a whole and stop hoarding it all to ourselves. We really think that EVERYONE should go join that server at the link here and see EXACTLY what they're up to! If you do, please do it only for research and spread of positivity, and please be sure not to harass or harm, but of course that goes without saying!
Servers do grow and change however, and sometimes things get deleted. Just in case this happens due to the large influx of new users we expect they'll get- which would be awful suspicious, and an admission of guilt, really- we did compile the entirety of their nevermore-grievances channel into a handy document that people can find here.
We also want to post some screenshots that absolutely fascinated us right here for all to see! We'll leave those below the cut, but boy, everyone should check them out. They're snippets of some INCREDIBLY interesting discussions!
Pulling the strings in the tumblr fandom
Ever felt like you are out of the loop of the Nevermore fandom here on tumblr? That takes come out of nowhere, and mean posts spring up, then garner attention, despite everyone you know with a tumblr being a sweetie? Maybe there's a reason. This server, and the grievances channel in particular, acts as a hub for a group of select tumblr users to plan out things to post- up to and including timing of posts, content, and even who they all block.
Luckily, they block a lot. If you've had anything they consider a "bad opinion," you may not ever see their posts. "Bad opinions" (such as disliking Annabel, or liking Lenore's spectre) get posted in the server for all to add to their block list. In all honesty- good on them for curating the experience they want to see, but strange for people so vocal about criticism being important and Red not being able to handle criticism!
Sometimes, however, they don't block. Sometimes, they desire to pick a fight.
And sometimes, they even attempt manipulation of the creators themselves... or one creator, in particular, though we'll get into that later.
Airing dirty laundry
Even if you're not on tumblr, if you have interacted with them at all in the fandom, you are not safe. If they disagree with your opinions, they will put you down and mock you. If you are someone they have no personal beef with but you associate with those who they do, you still may not be safe. We have noted both recruitment attempts (tell your friend to come to the cooler server! tell your friend not to talk to this person, they're so harmful!) and put-downs based on this.
Once they have their eyes on you, anything you do or say to them or around them is up for scrutiny. While sometimes these conversations are brought to DMs, other times the naming and shaming happens very publicly. One member of the server is also a former patron, and there are allusions to that person sharing things said in the official server's patreon-chat... a place that sources confirm is generally considered both safe and private otherwise.
Members here banned from the official Discord have also tried to circumvent things to continue to have eyes on the server, though this seems to have failed.
Martin (or, as they're known here on tumblr, littlekandiclown)
On tumblr and on the official Nevermore Discord server, Martin seems to be an absolute sweetheart at times, and at least one of the reporters for NWN looked upon them fondly. However, seems that behind closed doors that sweetness wears off, and they're almost disturbingly violent in intention (or at the very least, in her sense of humor).
Obsessed with (and incredibly hypocritical about) Red
Much of their attention goes to fixating on Red- her reactions, the way they think she'll react, and similar.
The thing about this is that much of what they critique her for is the same things that they themselves do: disagreeing with people on tumblr, countering opinions, defending her friends, and frankly, just living her best life.
One thing that has come up is that Red doesn't frequently block people, to which they say she should. That if she doesn't want to see the criticisms, she should block. However, when she states that she is leaving tumblr (both the first time when she limited account usage to posting promos and professionalism only) and the second time, this is criticized and mocked.
A broken clock
...is right twice a day. Some of the things they bring to light in this server are actually things that should be discussed and brought to light and even somewhat policed in the fandom. Usage of slurs, AI, fastpass spoilers, and the inactivity of the official Discord mods are all rightfully criticized.
Therefore, our ask is you do not come into this with hate in your heart and thinking of these people as enemies or potential enemies. They are flawed humans, as are we all, and they are doing their best. However, the best of most people don't involve mass schemes, obsession with a minor public figure, and violent intentions.
Just as they are right to criticize others, so should others be to criticize them, and it is in this spirit that this document has been released. Our greatest hope here at NWN is that people will join their (again, public facing) server and bring in light, positivity, and the courage to call out things that need to be called out in the channels there.
That said, please don't counter-harass these users in your pursuit of the truth or a better fandom. Most of the users of this server do not seem active in the grievances channel, and the server has many positive notes- namely, a strong community that other public Nevermore servers don't seem to have. Come in to fact check and work towards change, but not to harm or harass.
I've been planning this for a while but I just didn't have enough motivation to finish it and then the other day I saw a similar post so I can finally present to you
Nevermore characters as astronomical objects and atmospheric phenomena
Initially I was just thinking about how to make the misfits into the sun-moon-star dynamic. I didn't have enough knowledge of astronomy so I had to resort to all the strange pretty things in the sky. And then it went too far heh.
Lenore is the star. Obviously, because well, she's the main character, our star. She is bright, guides others, and the number of star evolution options reminds me of countless theories about Lenore's spectre.
Annabel is the northern lights. Cold, beautiful, distant, mysterious. All of that. Hardly an astronomical thing, but it suits her so well.
Duke is the quasar, one of the brightest objects in the universe. Active galactic nucleus. The term quasar actually means quasi-stellar/star-like although it hardly has anything in common with the stars. Let's just say it reflects how similar he and Lenore are and at the same time how different.
The most obvious, Eulalie is the moon. The first love of poets, wolves and the ocean. Part of her is always hidden. In old stories she invariably becomes the cause of someone's madness.
Equally obvious. Pluto is the eclipse, always associated with the moon. In many cultures an eclipse has been a bad sign, reflecting his spectre ability to bring bad luck.
Berenice is the comet. She's sharp, bright, always on the move. The comet tail is reminiscent of how Berenice always follows someone instead of leading herself.
Morella is the nebula. To be honest it came to me as an instant association which is difficult to explain. Nebulae diffuse light just like Morella always smooth things over in any conflict. Nebulae remind me of a big cozy blanket in the endless darkness of cold space.
Ada is the Fata Morgana. It was quite difficult, I went through a lot of things in an attempt to find something suitable for Ada including the Belt of Venus and stardust. In the end I settled on an optical illusion named after the evil sorceress from the Arthurian legends.
That was easy one. Prospero is the black hole, indomitable and imminent. Its gravity is too strong to avoid it and you probably won't even realize you're trapped until it's too late. Maybe he was a star once.
Montresor is the sun and Will is his Icarus. No, but listen to me. He's bright and instantly attract the attention of other planets and if you get too close he'll burn you down - not because he really wants to, but because it's just his nature. To be honest he will most likely be the doom of everything.
Will is the asteroid. There's like a bunch of them out there in space lol. But joking aside, the word 'asteroid' means 'star-like'. Not a real star, not a real planet, its gravity is too weak, and it orbits the sun.
Okay you cooked with this. But also I have something to add, as I know a bit about astronomy.
Lenore and Annabel being a binary star system.
Two stars constantly in orbit around each other, but things start to get messy when things like other planets are added. This is the three body problem. Once a something else is added, be it another star or a planet, you can no longer predict what orbital path the bodies will take. This reflects how messy Lenore and Annabel's relationship got due to the circumstances caused by being in nevermore.
If you could propose to Annabel, how would you do it and what would you say?
propose? To Annabel Lee? Why on earth would I do that?
….
but since you asked so kindly I suppose I can answer your question dear anon.
I would take her to a beautiful rose garden, even though none of those roses would ever surpass her beauty.
and I’ll take her to a part of the garden where I made sure a piano was placed, I would play music for her then I would propose and hopefully she’d say yes.
*Ahem*
this is all hypothetical, I merely answered your question I would never marry Annabel Lee.
Just like Ada herself, her spectre is also in my top 3 favourites. I love the moss on her body and how she's supposed to look like she's half buried in the ground.
Little announcement, all!
Nevermore will be going on a short summer break. Flynn and I have made the controversial decision to go outside and see the sun. But never fear, I'll burn immediately, remember why I don't go out there, and then we'll be set 'til next summer! Keep an eye on our socials for an official return date, but it should be in time for September. Which is good because September is basically spooky season, basically. Hope you're all having a lovely summer too. We'll probably do some streams for free members and patrons alike on our discord server, so drop by if you like that kind of thing. See you very soon. 🌴👻

In the Victorian era, high class women were often taught languages like French and Italian, so they could read the classics. The reason I've heard for this was so that they could know if suitors were plagiarizing love poetry to them, since they'd be able to tell if someone just translated a French love poem or something.
I doubt she can speak it fluently, maybe has a few simple phrases she can use, but like she can probably read it.
So inspiration struck and I turned Pluto in to the boy kisser cat
And some memey pride flag alts of it
Also the Pluto you see here was made using vectors cause I can't draw. And for being unfamiliar with the program, and not doing any vector work since high school, I say he turned out pretty good. Granted I definitely didn't make him in the most efficient way lol. Still proud of how he turned out though
