So IDK if people will understand this concept but I made “corner pins”

image

Basically they are tiny pins with TWO posts on them, and you use them to hold up mementos like instax/photos/tickets etc without having to puncture them, and without having to pinch them with the metal or the push pin edge etc. You can simply rest the corner of the item between the posts gently!

These are the cute ribbon/bow ones, I also made some others that i think would be really cool on your mementos ToT

Let me know what you think about this concept?? I don’t know how to market it but i really thought it was a nice idea T_T. You can find them in my store here

One thing I want to point out about nimona is that it captures tenderness in such a visceral way that I haven’t really seen in 3D animation before? Like the way the characters curl into each other and melt makes me go INSANE

for a while there i was sympathetic to tumblr because of how much they’re in debt; i was kind of like “well of course they’re absolutely desperate for new users, they literally need the money or else tumblr goes down forever”. and then suddenly today it hit me that there’s actually no fucking reason for that debt to be causing these ui changes? the userbase has been INCREDIBLY clear about what they want from tumblr over the years, not to mention clear about the fact that even twitter people don’t need this place to look like twitter. it actually would be very… EASY? for them to just make changes in a direction people would actually be HAPPY with?

for fuck’s sake there were people trying to organize a “crab day” for tumblr despite tumblr doing nothing but telling us to go fuck ourselves for months on end. there were people spending hundreds of dollars on check marks just for the glee of MAKING FUN of twitter. can you IMAGINE how much money this userbase would donate to tumblr if they actually made ui updates geared toward what people have been asking for?

if tumblr actually crowdsourced ideas or even just LISTENED to their userbase it may have been possible for them to make way more money than they’re begging for now, they just insist on trying to drive their actual demographic and loyal userbase out for literally no reason

They are doing surveys that are really hard to find because their survey blog has reblogs disabled for some reason.

barbie fanfic:

In the real world, all the cups hold liquids and sometimes they’re the wrong temperature. In the real world, Barbara’s skin breaks out in textures, and she just has to deal with it. In the real world, her clothes crease and discolor and she has to do laundry every Sunday. In the real world, Barbara cries at the drop of a hat and she wonders what is wrong with her, how the world makes her heart hurt, how the sun is too bright and the rain is too cold and how skin is softer than plastic, and she wonders, what exactly she is doing here. 

Not to say Barbara’s unhappy. She’s deliriously happy. But sometimes at night her heart beats in her chest and it feels like a drum, or waves against a beachhead, and sometimes in the morning Barbieland feels like a distant, far-off dream and she doesn’t even remember the choreography from the dance parties. Barbara feels like she’s forgetting something. 

“That’s not surprising,” Gloria tells her. Barbara’s living with her now, until she has enough of a credit history to get her own place. It’s nice. They drink coffee together on weekend mornings and Barbara is getting better at swallowing. 

“Most people don’t remember their childhood that well,” Gloria says. “Usually it’s just… a series of impressions. A few moments. The really good stuff, and the really bad stuff.” 

“It was all really good stuff,” Barbara says. “Every day was perfect. Or it was, until, well.” 

She smiles ruefully. Gloria smiles back. And Barbara doesn’t say what she’s worried about, which is that: if everything was perfect, then does that mean nothing was, and she’s going to forget everything? 

Barbie would have said that out loud. Barbie didn’t keep secrets, or worry, or think about how the human mind is a fallible organ and that eventually it will fail and every single person who’s ever lived has died. But she’s not exactly Barbie anymore.

Btw, if you’re new to tumblr, or even if you’re not new to tumblr but don’t know, if there’s any little features that annoy you or QOL things you want, chances are you should download Xkit to more fine-tune customize your experience. Not sure if this is still common knowledge as it used to be, but it’s a great help.

For the unfamiliar: there are three extensions called XKit, for historical reasons. The one you want is called “XKit Rewritten”. It is a browser extended which can do many things to improve your Tumblr experience. One of my favourites is called “panorama”, which simply makes your dash actually use whatever horizontal space you give it, rather than occupying no more than the middle third of your screen and filling the rest with empty space for no good reason.

Since it is a browser extension, XKit is only useful for the browser version of the site, but it improves things so much that you may find you never want to use Tumblr Mobile ever again.

To add onto this even more, I actually use a combination of both “Newxkit” (which no longer updates, but still has some features I find too good to do without, like mouseover reblogs and other QOL tweaks) and “Xkit Rewritten”, which is a browser extension that allows you to, as said above, disable tumblr live.

For reference on how great xkit is though, I didn’t even know tumblr had changed its layout to try and look like The Devil’s Web because it’s like this

Xkit Rewritten now has mouseover reblogs as well! I swapped to Rewritten from New Xkit a little while ago when I got a new computer, and I don’t know if it matches up to EVERY feature, but it had a version of all the settings I had been using. Recommend!

Oh shit, does it!? Maybe I need to update my extension, but that’s great!

It’s the best QOL feature outside of Fix-it features imo! Thanks for letting me know, I’ll see if I just need to update it to get it to show up for me.

(Edit) so it seems that the new tumblr layout is being rolled out in waves, so I may be lucky and haven’t goten hit yet
 but! Xkit has been pretty consistent throughout all of its itterations in the past of fixing whatever unpopular change was put through and has undone past UI changes, so even if the new “haha we’re twitter fr guys” update does go through, for now xkit will still make it better, and there’s a very good chance xkit will largely undo/put things back with future updates if it follows the past model of the mods.
