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!
This is horrible I can't see the number of notes on my posts at all without adding up everything in the chain
Cursed cursed cursed evil evil evil
This is a terrible idea. Horrible.
EXTREMELY BAD HOLY FUCK.
This would kill the entire point of the reblog chain. Staff, please, don't do this. It will transform the reblog chain in just plain twitter quotes.
Seriously, this is a tumblr-killer feature. This breaks the most fundamental way tumblr is different from any other social network. This makes tumblr just another blueskytwitterthreads. Or worse: An unfederated mastodon clone.
Please, stop this. Please, don't roll this out.
Please, mutuals, post about this, comment and reblog the original post (while you still can without making it your own quote-post). I don't know if staff is looking or if the feedback would matter, but seriously, this is a terrible change that would kill tumblr as we know it. Please, don't roll it out.
look, I can endure any kind of UI changes that are supposed to help tumblr-rookies to understand how this works. They may be a nuisance, but that's ok, we have x-kit or we can get used to buttons being here or there.
But this. This changes the data architecture. This changes the SINGLE THING that makes tumblr the "... yes and" website. This KILLS THE COLLABORATIVE POSTING THAT MAKES THIS SITE DIFFERENT FROM ALL THE OTHER MEDIA PLATFORMS.
Please, don't do this. Please, don't ship this.
Please for the love of god, TUMBLR, DO NOT DO THIS
This update will also have an INCREDIBLY negative impact on artists who have their art reblogged, but will no longer be able to see the reach they actually have gained with their art!!
We LOVE to see other people comment on our work, but with your new update THOSE REBLOGS WITH COMMENTS will be the one getting traction instead of the ORIGINAL ART POSTED.
PLEASE TUMBLR
PLEASE DO NOT ROLL THIS UPDATE OUT
What in the actual fuckery is this? Reblogs are done so the post can be spread, and love can be given to the original author, not the one who reblogged it. This is just awful. What the hell
Tumblr is used by artists and writers—we share our art in order to create discourse and see the appreciation! Don't take this away from us!
Jesus fucking Christ this is insane and stupid beyond belief
hello fellow artists. google has fallen. pinterest/duckduckgo AI filters don't work. do not despair; here is a list i made of places to find reference images without having to sift through piles of worthless garbage. (for future editing convenience i am just linking my blog post on dreamwidth.)
✨ good places to find art reference that are not full of AI trash 🌈
reblogging for personal use
ART REFERENCE NOT FULL OF AI?! YESSS
THANK YOU

This is super cute! May have to print this one out I love it so much.
Reblog to save a life
Note from a graphic designer who has to fix this shit all day: rich black is prettier sure but for the love of the gods don’t use it for text if it’s going on newsprint. If its anything other than solid black it will bleed out and become unreadable.
Half my job is fixing this mistake all day from people who really really should know better. And now you know!
^exactly. Rich black is definitely better for graphics or large hits of black if you want it to be REALLY black and not look washed out. Especially if you’re printing in CMYK only (no spot colors), a rich black can really help tie your art together.
Gaming Dice.
I learned a lot about edges and light and color relationships here.
PAINTING!!! THIS IS A PAINTING
CHAT THIS IS A PAINTING!!!
I went over this post twice before realising. I was like "oh it's just set up like a still life painting, right". NO IT'S FUCKING NOT!
Happy crows 🐦⬛
The prompt was ‘detention.’
reblogging with cute tags that make me happy <3
How it started:
How it’s going:
Just a lil reminder that even if it doesn’t feel like it, even if it feels so fucking slow and you can’t see it at all, you do improve when you keep doing the thing. I love you. Hang in there.
I have no idea why this is doing the rounds again - I love you all so much - but have I got an update for you!! I can't show you yet but in a couple weeks when I'm allowed to, I'll show you the next snake in this evolution.
Y'all are wonderful
I can reveal the next snake in the chain:
This piece is titled "The Secondary Eclipse Occurs When The Cooler Star Is Occulted By The Hotter Star", and it was created for Poetic Tiger's Invisible Threads show. The snake is 43" from end-to-end, and 39 of those inches are covered in sequins stitched on one-by-one. He's a big boy.
There are five years between lil snakey #1 and this one. Also important to note - I started making snakes because of fanart. If anyone tries to tell you fanart isn't "real" art, they're being a douche, and you can call them on it. Anything that gives us the joy to create is ✨peak real✨ We're honing and learning and growing more skilled no matter what we create as long as we keep doing it. So make whatever art you want. (With your hands, AI isn't art and does not count)
