ppl on ao3 should use the "this work was inspired by" option more. so many fics out there that put links to other fics in the a/n but theres a better option.....
☝️ use this!!!!!!
important addition i forgot that not everyone might know. similar to how ao3 bookmarks work, you can also link to non-ao3 fanworks using this format. so, for instance, if theres some fanart on tumblr that inspired you to write the fic? you can link that fanart to your fic!

Tumblr Advisor Board
I think it could be cool to put together a board of the top Tumblristas in the world, that could see previews of what's coming up and advise on strategic direction. Who should be on it?
Okay, look. We're gonna do it like this, Matt. I used to work in market research. This one is free, next time I expect a month of free premium and if there's a third time I expect a job.
TO EVERYONE ELSE:
A series of ten reblogs is about to follow, since you can only have one poll per reblog. Please answer all ten polls. If you don't see them all, check the notes (this shouldn't take me long so if it's more than like, fifteen minutes since I posted this one they should all be there.)
1) What is the PRIMARY thing you do on Tumblr?
I mostly reblog others' posts
I write original posts
I make/post memes
I make/post images or gifs
I make/post videos
I run a poll blog
I run a gimmick blog
2) how long have you been here?
Under twelve months
1-2 years
3-4 years
5-6 years
7-8 years
9-10 years
More than ten years
I don't remember
3) how old are you?
Under 18
19-28
29-38
39-48
49-58
59-68
I'm one of the Tumblr grandparents
4) thinking about the recent Tumblr feature release/rollback, what did you find most frustrating?
There was no communication before the fact
I felt like the feature didn't take Tumblr users' wants and needs into account
I felt like the feature showed a lack of understanding of Tumblr culture
I felt the feature would hurt Tumblr culture
I felt the feature would hurt Tumblr artists and small makers specifically
I wasn't bothered by the change
It happened so fast I didn't even know until it was all over
5) thinking about the recent Tumblr feature release/rollback, what satisfied you most about the response?
Tumblr staff responded quickly
I felt like we were heard and listened to
It was nice to see our concerns were understood
I wasn't bothered by the change
It happened so fast I didn't even know until it was all over
Other
6) thinking about features you use on Tumblr, what would you like to see improved?
The recent UI changes to reblogging are too confusing
I'd like tagging to be easier
I'd like to see the tagging system overhauled
I'd like to see the reporting/adult tagging system improved
I'd like a separate page for my communities
I'd like to be able to mark posts as for my followers only
I'd like to see the blocking system improved
I'm happy with Tumblr as it is
Other
7) with the understanding that Tumblr needs to attract new users or convert more current free users to paying users in order to stay online, what do you think of Matt's "top tumblrista" idea?
Absolutely not--this is very famously the influencer-hating site
Absolutely not--this site is too diverse for that to work
Absolutely not, for other reasons
I'm actually liking this poll method
The poll method is clunky but something similar would be great
I think the panel of "top users" would be great
I have no opinion on this
8) if you don't currently pay for use of a Tumblr feature, why not?
I have paid Tumblr features
The price point is too high for my wallet
The price point is too high for what's offered
There's nothing offered that I want
I wouldn't pay even if something I wanted was offered
Other
In the following question, "pre-social media" refers to platforms like LiveJournal, forums, alt.net boards, early MySpace, and similar spaces.
9) thinking about the given definition of "pre-social media," how much do you agree with the statement "I think most tumblr users I know would prefer pre-social media to modern platforms like Facebook and X"?
"Strongly agree" is not strong enough
Strongly agree
Agree
Kind of maybe agree?
Neutral/I don't know enough about pre-social media to say
Kind of maybe disagree?
Disagree
Strongly disagree
"Strongly disagree" is not strong enough
10) do you think Matt should just hire me to do this so I don't have to squeeze it around my break at work?
Yes, this was awesome
Sure, you're not perfect but this was way better than what they've done til now
No, but someone should do this
Honestly I'm just sad you didn't give us nuance/bald/vanilla extract/tickybox
I love the irony that if that new reblog change had actually happened, @prismatic-bell would have been getting all the notes for this post, making it completely useless for @photomatt for any sort of research purposes, because he happened to get reblogged by a more popular blog and would have not gotten all the notifications when people added comments
Like, I hope this clears up why we all hated that idea
This is an excellent point. I genuinely hope @photomatt looks at the answers here and finds them informative even though I definitely could have done better if I wasn't cranking it out in an hour while waiting for my machine at work to come back online.
I especially love that as of right now, almost 70% of respondents agree he should hire me. I'm being wasted in this 90-degree factory, Matt, I have no degree but I do have a good grasp on Tumblr culture and how to generate useful data. Listen to the people 😎
I think the fact that you made these polls in the first place, on your own time, really highlights what sets Tumblr apart from any other social media platform, which is that Tumblr users actually LIKE Tumblr
We don't see this platform as a means to an end, like how influencers use other platforms to make money off their followers and don't actually care what platform they're on, as long as it pays them... we see it as a community we are all part of, and that we want to see improve without losing the community aspect
Every other social media is just using algorithms to feed us non-stop ads, pumping out the most far-right Nazi content, and being completely overtaken by bots and AI. There's no "social" aspect left to most of them.
Tumblr also has a Nazi problem, and dealing with that would be a great change to implement, but aside from that, Tumblr is pretty much the only place you can go and interact with real people, without being sold to non-stop.
Influencer culture is dying out everywhere... this is NOT the time for Tumblr to hop on that bandwagon. It would literally kill this website... no one is going to join Tumblr because it become more like the other platforms that everyone's already sick of, and the more it becomes like Twitter or Tik Tok or whatever, the more current Tumblr users will abandon it, just like they did with every other platform.
Actually, that would make a good additional poll, I think:
What social media platform do you use DAILY, excluding Tumblr:
Twitter (yes I will keep deadnaming Twitter til the day I die idc)
Tik Tok
LinkedIn????
Other????? (are there more??? I don't even know)
More than one of the above
None of the above, and I never have used any of them
None of the above BUT I used to, and have since deleted my accounts
I have accounts for one or more of the above, but RARELY use them
I have accounts for one or more of the above, but NEVER use them
... for the purpose of this poll. rarely means more than never, but less than daily, I guess
I am not a market researcher, but I do love polls lol
I actually meant to have this as a question and then forgot it because I was doing it off the cuff rather than actually writing out and tweaking it ahead of time, because it's a deeply important one. So thank you for adding it.

Okay so I never post (like I literally have never made a post lol), but I became a Dan and Phil phan post-hard-launch, and I’ve been bingeing dnp content and edits nonstop (genuinely) for the past three months, and I just need to vent my thoughts out into the internet, namely… HOW did these two survive as a couple??
Like, I really mean that in a great way, because obviously they survived because they are actual soulmates (invisible thread theory, companions through life, knight of wands, etc etc…) But like… actually how???
First of all, I say all of this incoming rant with love for the phandom because I know it was only a small number of people doing toxic things, plus I am irrevocably one of y’all now, but like... they had millions of curious people all over them, basically harassing them about not only their sexuality but their relationship with each other; trolls leaking extremely private videos of things they never wanted shared; interviewers constantly trying to bully them into a corner, in order to admit what they were allegedly hiding…
Like… just the immense strain that this must’ve put on not only their mental health but their relationship… totally unimaginable. Dan and Phil, who’s the best man at your future wedding even though you’re not an out couple, Dan and Phil, what do you find hot about each other even though you’re not an out couple, Dan and Phil, how do you make it work even though you’re not an out couple… Answer all of that in front of a rabid audience, as well, if you please, because you owe us! Invasive as fuck, and yet, of COURSE people were interested, and how could they not be?? And they just… got through all that??? And came out the other side very much still in love??? Got through the whole thing while continually BEING in love, in fact??? Insane! Like, how does a couple survive that level of scrutiny?? Has any couple before, actually?? And like… in their early 20s, no less???
And then to continue to enjoy each other’s company at every turn regardless, all while choosing to prioritize and protect their own privacy and relationship above everything else, despite the incessant nagging to disclose more?? And to just… stay in their happy bubble together because they were just THAT strong as a couple??? Because they fell into it hard and fast, the whole time, never even labeled it because it was just… fact! (Phact!) It never needed labeling. It was strong enough from day one to just… be established and easy and… fate! (Phate!)
My goodness. Like… for any young celebrity (particularly a queer one) to come through such an intense level of hounding in one piece is astounding, but to do so, still holding the hand of your partner?? Who endured the same thing?? After sixteen YEARS of this??? And like, to actually still seem genuinely happy and in love???
And like… actually though… SIXTEEN YEARS??? Are you kidding me? Sixteen years of that scrutiny, that harassment, that bullying. Sixteen years!! And they just… survived?!!?! By all accounts even THRIVED as a couple?????
This is unparalleled levels of soulmate, this phan thing. I do not exaggerate when I say that it blows my mind. Boggles it, even. These two are magnetic entertainers for so, so, so many reasons, but one of the biggest (for me at least) is that that kind of utterly fated love is absolutely, devastatingly addictive to watch. These two are soulmates, and seeing soulmates be soulmates heals people in a way that can’t be overstated. I’m not saying that they or their relationship are perfect, obviously, and thank goodness for that. But, flaws and all, that level of undeniable, visible, obvious love… it’s mesmerising and beautiful and I cannot look away. These two are truthfully meant to be, because like… who the fuck else could’ve survived this but literal, actual soulmates????
Anyways. All of this post is probably offensive nonsense, but whatever. Sixteen years. I mean, my goodness. I’m done, but like… wow. Like… actual soulmates. So yeah, anyways, I'm fucked for life but happy to be here.

Trap Master can only be flipped during your turn or by the effect of another card. Since no card has been activated to trigger such an effect, Trap Master cannot be activated in response to Trap Stun.
THE DOG GOES.
The effect of Prediction Princess Tarotrei can flip trap monster face up on the opponents turn.
THE DOG STAYS
Once we send that Prediction Princess Tarotrei to the graveyard, our trap sealing will stick around.
The dog goes.
Ritual Sealing does not negate, only destroy. Prediction Princess Tarotrei is destroyed, but its effect is still carried out.
THE DOG. STAYS.

Quality vintage post
do you love the color of the yugioh card
watching the leftism leaving peoples bodies when you point out the sex offender registry is a grotesque violation of human rights
the only reason the registry exists is because we culturally view sexual crimes as inherently more evil and unforgivable than any other kind of violence. people are more willing to believe that a murder can grow and change than a flasher. if you’re woke enough to believe that ‘innocence’ is a fascist concept and sex is just another thing the body can do, then you should believe the corollary: hurting someone with your genitals is no different from hurting them with your fists
and yet, murderers and other violent offenders do not have their full names, faces, and addresses put on a public database for the rest of their lives. there is no such thing. they are not legally barred from watching movies containing violence, or owning imagery containing violence
in my state, sex offender probation means you can be searched, at any time, without a warrant, and owning a copy of playboy is a violation. it means you’ll be arrested if a family member comes to stay with you and you don’t register their vehicle with the sheriff. the dehumanization is beyond the pale
Multiple people have brought up the point that the sex offender registry disproportionately targets marginalized people and is used to criminalize the existence of queers, etc. That is true, and it's important to know, but, I cannot stress enough:
This post is about rapists.
The sex offender registry is not bad because innocent people are on it. It is bad because it is a gross abuse of human rights. Rapists are human beings. They deserve human rights. They deserve privacy. They deserve free access to media. They deserve the opportunity to grow and change.
Too many of you are only interested in protecting Unperson's rights as a means to protect Good People's rights, and it shows.
It’s so funny to me that Phan still shares its ao3 tag with the fantastic foursome. Like why do a real life couple of 16 years and a friend group that hasn’t existed for a decade share a tag
i love fanon eclipse 🙏🙏🙏🙏
lmao
a man who would go back into the closet for 15 years for you without even blinking, without even thinking there’s anything to forgive you for, fully believing all that patience and time and space and agony was completely worth it because he loves you that much and is that devoted to you. a horrible liar who spends 15 years lying because you aren’t ready to tell the truth yet. you might think that this man doesn’t exist but he does. and his name is phil lester
