HOW TO TRIM YOUR POSTS USING THE BETA TEXT EDITOR!!
as many of you know, a lot of us in the rpc on here are struggling to actually do what we want on here ( which is roleplay ) due to the recent events of the staff forcing us to use the beta text editor. now while the beta text editor does have some rather nifty features ( such as adding color to our text now ), there isn't a way to outright cut our posts making it nothing short of tedious and annoying. that's why i'm making this post right now.
STEP 1: XKIT REWRITTEN
the first thing you have to do is install xkit rewritten. here is the link for firefox and here is the link for chrome. if you use opera then you'll need to download chrome extensions. after doing so then you can proceed to the link for the chrome extension! now if you're like me and you use incognito mode then please, please, please give it permission to access everything via incognito mode.
but shin! what if i use the new xkit?! will i have to uninstall it?! nope! not at all! i actually use both of them and they 100% coincide with one another! because there are features that one has that the other doesn't.
STEP 2: ADD-ONS
now i'm going to assume that y'all know how to deal with tweaking the settings for your add-ons ( especially if you're in the rpc ) so i'm not going to bother with that. otherwise, feel free to im me and i'll help you out with it since i know how to do it in all three of the major browsers.
open up xkit rewritten in your browser. it should look something like this. i'm using chrome but it'll look exactly the same regardless of what browser you use. you'll see that it has a wide variety of various add-ons for you to choose from. and thankfully ( thankfully! ) they're all in alphabetical order so that's a bonus! so scroll down until you see trim reblogs. it'll look like this.
now turn it on. no exceptions. and you know what? go ahead and get the rest of the add-ons you want / need while you're at it since you already have it up. it'll save you time in the long run so whatever.
STEP 3: REBLOGGING / TRIMMING / ETC.
this is where the "fun" part comes into play. as stated here about trim reblogs, you will only see the trim icon if the post has two or more reblogs on it. what this means is that if it has nothing but likes or comments and has only been reblogged once then you won't see the icon show up at all. with that being said, here is an example down below:
now whatever you do don't click on the trim icon yet! instead you will hit the reblog button, type out your response, and throw it into your drafts. once you've done that, go to your drafts and it should look similar to this:
now that you've gotten your response all typed out and you see where the buttons are placed, hit the trim reblogs button and it'll look something like this:
as you can see, the first two responses are now long gone and the two newest responses are the only ones that you'll see. once finished you can now 100% post it onto the dash and you're good to go!
this is also important because even if y’all don’t plan on using beta now, tumblr staff has stated they do eventually plan on getting rid of legacy, and completely replacing it with beta. so, it’s best to keep this on hand for when that does happen.
"...But they aren't 'really cool', that's the thing."
They aren't 'really cool' — they are fucking terrifying. "If any non-human being was going to plan to murder me, it would absolutely be a horse. Have you ever even met a horse?" Have you ever felt true fear?
“I...” Darius stared up at the man, clearly confused by his words. He moved to cover his sketchbook, not appreciating the other watching him over his shoulder. “Wait- Aren’t you like... A hundred or something?” He asked, raising an eyebrow, “I’ve met a- Why the hell would a horse wanna murder you- You’re a like a hundred and you’re afraid... Of a horse?”
Darren what do I have to do to get you to kick mom from the chat. Time is limited please look at my offer in the group chat before I get grounded but worse
IM NOT THE ADMIN!!!!!!!!!
i actually dont know who the admin is, but it aint me.
apparently debbies been admin the whole time so there’s probably no way i’m going to be able to convince her to kick mom
the old mans this close to snitching on me to mom too why do you hang out with him
well I guess I understand that,,,,he has this power to make people do things they wouldn’t normally do Cough cough but anyway I guess this all makes sense now.
yikes I forgot that unlike Steve, I have friends to answer to and I’m just realizing what a blow to my reputation this is ….
I don’t want to give you hope about Steve but I can’t say I’m glad you guys had a moment to talk to each other. Im not sure he cares about anything at all but sometimes, when he talks about you, I doubt that.

Darius: Fuck my dad, I hate him and I never want to fix my relationship with him because he's trash, he's toxic, I don't need that kind of negativity in my life
Also Darius when he sees his contact in Steve's phone is saved as "my little dumbass":
Do I really need to explain this to you like you were a baby?
It’s as simple as this; war is like chess. There are few crucial figures and then there’s the pawns, both serve the King. While it’s important to look at the other side’s pawns and be aware of them, your own pawns are only there for sacrifice. In this war, Gannen was like a bishop, or a knight. RV and Morgan were rooks. You were a pawn.
At the moment, Darius isn’t sure how much he trusts those words. He isn’t lowering his guard just yet. He knows better. That could could change at any moment, and if there was anything his old group taught him, it was that people could turn on you in a second.
Darius hesitated, narrowing his eyes, watching Kenny’s every move. He nodded when the other asked about the backpack, quickly snatching it up off the ground. And Kenny might have noticed how empty that backpack felt when he kicked it. He’s lowered the bat just a bit now, hands still shaking. He gulped, realizing that if he wanted to get through the night he had no other choice to trust Kenny.
“…. I-… I mean f-food would be nice… and… And m-maybe- Maybe i-if I could… ,if I could j-just… stay h-here for the night?” He half mumbled the request, the bat falling to his side now.
naosh-of-muses:
Kenny bit his lower lip as he waited for the kid to answer. He noticed the child’s hands still shaking as a deep breath escapes from his mouth. “Of course you can stay here for the night.” He told Darius honestly. He grabbed a couple of canned fruits, putting them on the ground for Darius to take.
Darius hesitated, glancing between the cans and Kenny, like he was looking for a sign that this was some kind of trap. Eventually the kid took a step closer, reaching for the cans, though he kept glancing at Kenny nervously as he did so. He grabbed the cans, placing them his bag. “.... Th-Thanks...” Darius said, starting to calm down a little now, “.... I’m Darius...” Might as well introduce himself if he’s going to be here for the night.
