My Kingdom

This blog is about manga and anime (and NOTHING ELSE). She/her.

So, if you have already updated the app, there's a way to reverse that. Just install an older version of Tumblr through an APK. This post explains how to do it. Personally, I installed version 43.1.0.109, which also reversed the change that separated reblogs, likes and replies. This is for Android devices. For Apple devices, this post explains what to do. There's no solution for Desktop at the moment. My hope is that @new-xkit-extension creates a fix soon, because I'm not hopeful that Tumblr will reverse this.

Remember, we should not just accept this and move on. Continue to reply to this post (and make sure it's this one, don't reply to other people's reblogs). Go to their pages on Twitter and Titok and protest there too. Tag them constantly. Do not stop making noise. They're hoping we'll eventually get tired. Let's not.

In the meantime, make sure you always reblog from the op. If you need to comment something, do it through tags or replies.

In light of Tumblr's horrible update, here's what you can do to make sure that creators continue to get the credit for their work. This is especially important for art and gif sets.

Always reblog the original post, so that the OP gets all the notes and sees all the enagement

If you need to comment something, do so in the tags or in the replies in the original post; do not add a comment to your reblog, because if you do that it essentially becomes a whole new post and the OP will not be notified of any engagement with it

Also, if you haven't updated the app, don't update it at all! Without the update, you can still see all the notes as they used to be. There's nothing to be done about the desktop website, though. Maybe @new-xkit-extension will come up with a fix soon.

Do not stop telling Tumblr how you feel about this! They are hoping we'll eventually shut up and accept it. Don't. Keep commenting on the post linked above. Comment on their Twitter and Tiktok pages. Do it everyday. Do not let them forget about this.

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.

@changes @staff

Here are the notes for this post on the Android app, which I haven't updated (and never will if this change sticks):

Now here are the notes on the desktop website:

See the difference? Now imagine that this is someone posting their art instead. They would lose so much engagement! All the positive feedback gone. If a popular blog reblogs their post, then that blog would get the credit. Please understand how detrimental this is for creators. And also understand that we are not going to eventually accept this and move on. We are not going to shut up about it. All the other changes you made were bad, but bearable. This one will destroy Tumblr. Please consider reversing this. No one wants it.

A sad hug 🥺

So, the movie was officially canceled. And I'm shocked that so many people are shocked. I haven't engaged with this fandom in years, but I thought everyone agreed that the movie was never coming out. Are there really people who were still expecting it to? No judgement at all, I'm just genuinely surprised.

Such a needy boyfriend :3

Sakusa, teaching Atsumu how to drive: okay, you’re driving and suddenly Hinata and Osamu walk into the road. quick, what do you hit?

Atsumu: hmm, that’s a tough one. because, on one hand, osamu is my brother, but, on the other hand, I could never hurt Shoyo, you know?

Sakusa:

Sakusa: the brakes. you hit the brakes.

Why? Just... why?

[ainudraws]

Hinata has been off the whole day and Kageyama can’t help it but worry. In the meantime Hinata: “I forgot the money to get meat buns later, this day sucks”.

[shutupyamaguchi]

Hinata: *casually rests hand on sofa*

Kageyama, staring at his hand intensely: *to himself* touch it, Kageyama. Grab that boy’s hand. It’s right there. Right there! You COWARD, grab his hand! It’s literally right next to you, you stupid coward—

Hinata: *to himself* is he gonna hold my hand or what

I’m sorry, but I’m done. I really am. This story is going nowhere. It’s the same thing over and over again. It doesn’t move forward one bit. I honestly think that the authors don’t know what to do with these characters anymore. And I’m no longer along for the ride. I don’t love this anymore. So I’m out for good. 

[shutupyamaguchi]

Kageyama: did you tell anymore we’re dating?

Hinata: yes Kageyama, I have no self-control and told everyone we’re dating

Kageyama: okay, no need to be sarcastic

Hinata: no, no, I’m serious. I have no self-control and told everyone we’re dating
