Genuinely, what is this UI update?

I try to scroll with my left hand and just brush the reblog button and a new menu pops up? Because I'm so used to there being nothing there, I keep doing it repeatedly. I've "quick reblogged", like, two posts I didn't want to reblog at all.

I can't look at the comments or reblog tags of a post without clicking through multiple menus? I can't just click the bottom of a post to look at the comments and reblogs now, which was way simpler.

I have to reach to the near middle of my phone screen to tap both the reblog button or the like button, when before all of these things were easily accessible on the right side of the screen. Why?

The entire tag for tumblr, and tumblr mobile is full of people complaining about the update. Why? Why was this changed?

For the Pokemogus Nuzlocke thing

In the original, non nuzlocke AU, I wrote a little pre-history to explain where the most common version of the classic 'imposter' came from, involving the Fungle and the original Skeld I crashlanding on thr planet where it was.

Originally, I intended for there to be no survivors. But the nuzlocke concept kind of works with it, and so I'm somewhat considering making it a prequel to the other AU, and writing them along side one another, with the Nuzlocke prequel being a stranded/ survival story, which would explain how death is possible and common. No safety nets like there would be on a colonized planet.

Anyways, all this to say I had an epiphany about John Carpenter's The Thing and Among Us at work, and am now getting absolutely roasted on multiple fronts because I DIDN'T KNOW AND I GOT EXCITED MAKING THE CONNECTION!!

So I have a wheel of crossovers I'll spin a couple times, every once in awhile when I'm feeling stagnated in terms of writing for a particular thing I'm on, it's like a brain boost, nearly 500 entries, good for getting brain wheels unstuck when I'm flounderin', right?

I put Among Us in there as a joke. It's esentially in there as a "space" option, and also because imagining Crewmates dicking around in a different franchises world is hilarious to me.

BUT

Sometimes, and this can happen with other crossover stuff too, it just seems to happen with Among Us the most, SOMETIMES

I'll get the fucking ball rolling.

Now I already had a Pokemon/Among Us crossover that I've been workin' on for some time. But then I got to thinking.

Nuzlockes. I LOVE Nuzlockes. We have so many romhacks on the back burner tbp at some point it's not even funny. There's a spreadsheet. Hundreds of games. Hundreds to be nuzlocked.

The theming of the Among Us x Pokemon AU is more focused on life, people and living and first contact and stuff than death. The inciting incident is, of course, related to an imposter killing a cremate, but that AU is more a reflection on the self and what rhat means and coexisting in a universe, themed around learning to understand and (I think the right word is?) empathize with others, while also being content with yourself. Can't focus so much on death, because, well, Pokemon don't die! So I took a different approach.

But with a Nuzlocke AU? Two games that revolve around trying not to die, No, trying not to be killed??? Hehehehehe.

Oooh I wonder what the setting would be. For the reg Among/Poke crossover I had the 'player' flying to different planets for a diversification of Mons and settings and stuff. It's a space game, right? Space travel seems all but required...

Unless you're stranded. >:) Oh I think I'm gonna keep going with this.

I cannot WAIT to be done with Bassies quest. I only need to see the Twisted one more time and I'll be finished, and I won't have to play as her again.

I hate running high speed low extraction toons, my ass is NOT built for distracting.

On a different note, missing chat again. I miss being able to say 'gg' and talk people up for being great teammates before I leave. Had some great runs this event and it feels so empty just dipping out after you die. :/ oh well I suppose.

I had the funniest thought at work today about a different way to get Caine to chill out and that's just having a slightly over exaggerated reaction to him walking on the ground.

Like, he's going on about how he's not really enjoying the constant adventures either, and Ragatha says her bit and he keeps going, pacing around, and someone just, no filter goes, "He can walk on the ground?"

And it's like a train screeching to a halt, because that's such a nonsensical thing to say in general, and even more at that moment.

Do I actually think it would have stopped anything? Nahhhh. But it's funny to imagine Caine having to pause, and the other circus members having the mental equivalent of a double take.

Excited to update the skin chart post Easter update, since everyone's gonna have a new skin.

Squirm probs lowest, with only one, since he's new, but hey! All the Easter Toons won't be languishing at the bottom anymore.

Farming that snake game for items, just as god intended

Eyy!

Friend of mine bought a newsie cap today on a whim while at the store and put it on at home, sent us a picture. Told us they 'feel like a dude' more than ever, and they're cutting their hair tomorrow again. So that's swell!
