Just stuff I come up with as we go along

Who knows really

[roughentumble]

my friend just told me that there's a secret second dashboard that solely contains posts from people you've turned on post notifications for, and when i click the link in the messages it opens it within the tumblr app, so the tumblr app also has a secret second dashboard for post notification blogs, and the only way to access it is to open the link for it within the app.

i literally love tumblr

[nightpool]

i have a private pinned post that just has a link to this dashboard on it, it's great. two dashboards for life

[cyle]

wow! i was really hoping someone would organically reverse-engineer this and find that dash.

here are a few other "secret" dashboards:

Posts from your "crushes"

"What you missed" (will be empty if you already visit Tumblr every day)

"Trending"

these are all just taking existing feeds of content and putting them in a dashboard-like format... the "Stuff for you" tab/feed is the same idea.

I was sure this was going to be 5 rickrolls, but no, this is both legit and amazing.

I think basically it would be really pleasant to find a bug type pokemon, like, a Wurmple, eating up your garden and say hey excuse me, these plants are really important to me and I would prefer you didn't eat them, do you want to come with me to the garden center and we can pick out something just for you? And you'd offer your hand and it would sniff and go wurm wurm! And crawl up onto your shoulder and you'd look at plants together and then when you go to the checkout a lady says you and your partner Wurmple make quite a cute pair and you start to say oh I don't really know this Wurmple we just met today and then you and the Wurmple look at each other and decide you both had a lot of fun together and that it would love to be your friend.

And then basically just this happens with different puppies and kitties and teacups and stuff like every few days.

something that i find interesting about independent animation nowadays is that if you don't have studio/streamer backing, you have to release your work yourself on the internet, but you have to do it for free on the internet because virtually nobody is going to be willing to accept a paywall just for one original show, so what you have to do in order to make any money off of it is make all of your money from merchandising, but then this means that you show must be merchandisable and have very toyetic character designs that translate easily to plushies and whatnot, but then you also need to cater your show to people who are disproportionately inclined to buy merchandise like that in the first place so that your sales can be enough to sustain you, which means that even if you want to communicate complex or difficult ideas in your work, your independent animation project must attract (at least on a first impression) and retain viewers who are both very consumerist and very capable of rabid passion, which unfortunately has a single-circle shaped venn diagram with a lot of the most toxic fandom tendencies known to man, and this explains a lot of things about independent animation and its fandoms nowadays I think

open tumblr, see something that pisses me off, write a snarky post, delete it, write a slightly more earnest post, edit it for 5 minutes, delete it, close tumblr

we need to bring back old school tumblr communication and im so serious. sending an ask to a mutual just to say hello. seeing three different asks in your inbox all asking how your dentist appointment went. seeing a post you think one of your mutuals would enjoy and tagging them/sending it to them in the dms. nowadays its just silently liking a post or (if youre feeling extreme) replying under posts. WHAT HAPPENED TO US!! we used to be a proper community!!!! #LetsBringWhimsyBack

[andthelaw]

reblog if you want ppl to send you random lil' asks

very smart people have been pointing out the rocky-stratt foil of it all, and how their interactions with grace reflect and oppose each other, and to add to that conversation, I'm so fascinated by the way they see grace in his role as a scientist. stratt is not a scientist. rocky is not a scientist. they don't understand astrophage. they can't understand it in the same way that grace, a molecular biologist, can. they understand the stakes but they cannot solve the problem. stratt can give grace astrophage and she can give him a lab and an unlimited budget. rocky can get him into Adrian's orbit and make the fishing chain and collect the biological samples and construct xenonite breeding tanks. but at the end of the day they can't breed astrophage. they can't make new strains of taumoeba. they can tee him up perfectly but he's the one who has to hit the shot. and Grace doesn't seem to understand how important he is, how much he is the person who can get it done. but rocky and stratt do understand that. they know they can't do it, and they know grace can. and when all the chips are down, they place all their bets on him, in the exact same way, with opposite execution. stratt says, "you can do this," and drugs him and sends him off to die alone in space because she believes in him so much. rocky plunges into an atmosphere that will and should kill him to drag grace to the medical robot to save his life, and says, "you can do this." stratt believes in grace so much that she chooses to kill him, and rocky believes in grace so much that he chooses to save him, possibly at the cost of his own life. and then, at the end, with all the chips down, grace goes back for rocky. trapped metaphorically between a choice of two foil characters, grace goes back for the one who believed in him so much he made him live. genuinely how the fuck am I supposed to be normal about this story

god it’s so sad living in an allocentric world. There are so many relationships that are so complex and nuanced that are all put under the label of ‘romantic’ and immediately all the intrigue is taken from it. Like don’t you realize that these relations are actually ENHANCED by the fact that they are not romantic or sexual?

[astronomical-bagel]

NOOO DONT PUT THE CHARACTERS IN A ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIP YOURE TAKING OFF THE SEASONING!!!!

"I would do anything for you; I would cross worlds for you; I would kill for you; I would die for you" etc in fictional romance= tired and expected

from a boss to their employee= what the fuck is happening there

[lichen-punk]

honestly i think the reason why it’s so common for kids to have the “it’s not a phase, mom” argument in their adolescence is less because they genuinely plan for their current state of being to remain utterly unchanged forever and more because they’re tired of having their interests/self expression/beliefs/etc dismissed as foolish due to being probably temporary

i know that when i was that age i certainly wasn’t thinking about whether or not i’d be into whatever shit i was into then when i was 80, all i knew was that i was sick of feeling like the adults in my life were just rolling their eyes and waiting out everything that was important to me at that moment
