Gumdrop and Friends

Reblogs. Rambles. Let's chat and cherish our community.💕

[gumdropandfriends]

Hey! G here. I've decided to ✨grow a personality✨!

No, but seriously...

As the summer begins to wind down and I start planning fall and winter simblr things again, it's occurred to me that I'm not being all I can be in this community. I used to spend most of my time on tumblr just shouting out the mutuals I loved, and I hate that stepping my toes into creation has made it feel harder to give you all your flowers.

So here is my place to fix that!

Below (in time) you will find:

my current simblr reading list (with all my favorite stories and recommendations)

reblogs of all the loveliest simblr things!

rambles, opinions, rants, and miscellany. everything I never said. 👀🤫

If you like, come get to know me here, and find out what simblr looks like on my feed! :P

(If not, stay tuned because @gumdropgamespot is going to have new cc and even a few edits coming your way soon. 💕)

For the love of glob, people.

Pretty please, stop locking CC posts on Patreon that aren't in early access 🙏 ❤️

No one wants to have to log in to the website every time they want to download something. No one wants to stay logged in there for the entire time they are online “just in case”. No one wants to have to keep track of yet another account’s log in info. & People don’t want to share their info with yet another website if they're not already using it.

I'm not trying to be rude, but it’s worth pointing out the irony when the same people who criticize crappy things use Patreon to post "free" CC, while implementing that crap "join to unlock" model.

I just feel like this is a really annoying thing that popped up in our community, because Patreon decided they wanted their user numbers to go up. Why gatekeep already free CC so Patreon can do that? As far as I have seen there is absolutely no benefit to the creators who post there to have this switched on.

It says it right under the "Everyone" option. "Reach new fans". Why would anyone choose not to reach more people? Like I don't get it.

*This post is not aimed at any particular creator. And I am not enraged or hating creators about it. I just wish they didn't do it.

Reblogs in a chain now get their own notes

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!

[changes]

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.

Starting to suspect the marketplace is my villain origin story.

Every fanfic in the last sixteen months:

Not *negative attribute.*

Not *synonym for negative attribute.*

Just *character name.*

He didn't _____.

He didn't _____.

He simply _____ed.

I'm losing my mind.

I just realized that the big reason I have always struggled with many art forms is because my eyes physically recoil from focusing on shadow.

My brain hates shadows. What the hell.

[darkspaceboytoy]

Incredibly violent take of mine but I actually don’t think you need to relate to a story in any way to enjoy it. You can enjoy a story even if you can’t point at a character and insert some aspect of your personality or identity into them. In fact I would argue the need for a character like that to be present in every single story you experience is a sign of stunted growth.

I am finally free of notion.

If you're a creator publishing free CC, you can submit your work to be featured in the new Community tab of my Refreshed Main Menu mod!

It isn't anything overly complex: it displays the CC, some info about it, and a link. But it highlights free community content for PC/Mac players. The content updates automatically, so it changes frequently and new CC can show up often.

Not a creator? You can still help by engaging with this post to spread the word! :)

You can bet your Moolah on the fact that I'll be using this Mod over Marketplace any day of the week ♥️

One of the latest hard things about getting better is being able to go out in public and stumbling into people you know. And them having crazy life stories while you go "oh, me? I am alive. I have succeeded only in still being alive."

Do you love the disparity of the EA CEO's pay?

I'm sorry for doing this, but also I'm not. Andrew Wilson is the one who should be sorry.

I love thinking about playing the sims. Not to be confused with actually playing it. But the potential.

[gumdropandfriends]

Don't tell me to finish that book. I want to read until I can predict the ending, like a normal person.
