Oh thanks but what the fuck does any of that mean

I’ve seen quite a few of these in my time, but this one takes the cake.

This is fucking killing me

Golp: a roundel purpure.

Repeat this to yourself until it begins to have meaning

[a-book-of-creatures]

Okay then since some of you need to be reminded of this:

Roundels are circles in heraldry. They are named according to their color, which also has its own lingo. Let’s meet them!

Bezant: roundel or (gold) 🟡

Plate: roundel argent (silver) ⚪️

Torteau: roundel gules (red) 🔴

Pomme: roundel vert (green) 🟢

Hurt: roundel azure (blue) 🔵

Golp: roundel purpure (purple) 🟣

Pellet: roundel sable (black) ⚫️

If your field is strewn with roundels, you can describe it appropriately as being bezanty, hurty, golpy, and so on.

Honestly greatful and cackling at the fact that, when presented with the building blocks that should have taught young me to hide everything people made fun of me for, my brain instead decided I would double down on every little weird habit until I could out weird everyone around me.

***Because they don’t have TIME to read

***Because they don’t know HOW to read

***Because they’re not ALLOWED to read

***Because they weren’t TAUGHT to read

***Because the generation BEFORE THEM were never taught HOW TO READ or how to TEACH READING

***Because we DON’T VALUE INTELLECTUAL PURSUITS

***Because our society prioritizes PRODUCTIVITY over QUALITY OF LIFE

Sick of the “yall are stupid because you’re lazy” narrative. Obviously people with no time no family no money no books no education no perspective no respect no options no support no mentors aren’t perpetually disseminating themes of Othello on the fly.

People aren’t stupid, reading isn’t the peak proof of intelligence, and society isn’t on a decline because poor people are poor.

You’re confusing a symptom for a cause

You have to treat the symptom, CURE the disease, and love the patient more than you love feeling right

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!

[talewind-arts]

While I can see the reasoning behind this idea, you say it yourself, the Reblog Chain is what makes Tumblr so unique, and why I and many others love it so much.

Chains have their own personalities, and have fostered community over years. A system like this means that these chains can no longer continue on their weird, wonderful, years long journeys, instead being allocated to smaller, more contained batches of posts and therefore breaking up these beloved posts into smaller, harder to track clusters.

Furthermore, this change is not one asked for by the community, and in fact I believe removes a large part of the appeal for Tumblr that sets it apart. Changing this feature will liken Tumblr much more to platforms like X or BluSky, and without the individuality, I fear a large amount of the user base will no longer have reason to stay, I know I won't.

It becomes a problem of costs, really. Expending resources to overhaul a system beloved by its user base costs time, money, and users, especially when the system being changed was one specifically designed to allow users to lift eachother up without stealing credit.

This change is a very dangerous one, it seems, and I know that I am not the only one who will leave when it gets implemented.

undiagnosed autistic people will be like "I don't get upset when my routine changes though!!" and it's because they've built a set of if-then loops in their head to pick from one of 6 different strict routines and they do get incredibly upset when they're unable to keep to any of the 6 scripts. I'm john normal

I hate that “chat” now makes people think of chatgpt. no. I’m asking my imaginary greek chorus twitch audience.

Just a wild little moment from the finale tbh
