Do This - Tumblr Posts
If this gets 1 million notes I’ll make a dress out of these
And wear it to the nearest major city
I’m not super fond of the way vampires turn pale no matter their skin tone so here’s a proposal:
Colder tones!!!
This was loosely based off livor mortis which is the bluish-purple discoloration of the skin of dead bodies. It’s a result of the gravitation of blood but fuck that vamps are purple now
Honestly be pretentious as fuck about the stuff you create. Do a press release for your fanfic updates. Do a Q&A about your webcomic. Make fake merch designs for your OCs. Commission "official" book covers. Very few of us will ever get to a stage where something we've created Makes It Big but even if you have an audience of 5 people plus a shoelace fucking indulge yourself and pretend!! It's the only way to live!!
tumblr blackout proposal
tumblr mobile has steadily become near unusable these past few updates. not just from a user experience perspective (which is important enough in itself) but also from an accessibility perspective.
examples include the new way the image viewer works (if you can call it "working"), the tumblr live button replacing the profile button, and that newly created blogs will be forced to have their main dashboard tab be the 'for you' page.
the demands of the protest would be along the lines of:
reverse the recent image viewer update
scrap the new users 'for you' page default setting
let us turn off tumblr live indefinitely
increase efforts against spam / porn bots
make reporting abuse and hate speech as easy as reporting as reporting spam
let us go nuts show nuts again... for real this time
remove flashing ads, including not accepting blaze campaigns for posts with flashing in them
commit to improving usability and accessibility, and listening to users!
(suggestions welcome!)
to protest against these usability issues, and inspired by the recent reddit blackout, i propose a 48 hour blackout (where you don't use tumblr at all). preferably of both mobile and web (since web has problems too) but mobile is the focus here.
[edit: a 'blackout' is when you don't log in, or interact with the site at all, for [x] amount of time.]
I suggest from the 30th of June.
this marks the end of pride month (for the "queerest place on the internet") and the start of disability month (since accessibility is a massive issue here).
tumblr office is in San Francisco, USA, so the times and dates will be calculated using their time zone (PDT).
you can find out the times and dates for your timezone here.
i can't afford to blaze this post so please spread it around as much as possible! protests only work if significant numbers show up!
edit: tumblr rejected the blaze campaigns for this post because they know it would hurt them. let's make this an indefinite blackout - it's the best way to get results.
I just want to look at the abominable things people do to fan art okay?
The FCC sided with Comcast and decided to let ISPs censor the internet. The Internet needs to stop this from happening: http://cms.fightforthefuture.org/tellfcc/
Last Wednesday, FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler announced a proposal for new rules that would allow for a “ fast lane” of Internet traffic for content providers who are willing (and able) to pay a fee. [1] The proposal reverses the FCC’s previous commitment to net neutrality and open internet and allows ISP’s like Comcast or Verizon to slow down and censor services that don’t pay the toll.
We have to be totally honest, this situation is seriously grim. But there is still hope. The FCC already knows that the Internet community wants net neutrality, but they think they can put their spin on these new rules and sneak them through. If we can prove them wrong right now with a massive public outcry, we can literally save the Internet once again.
We need to stop the FCC now. Big business groups are already ramping up lobbying efforts with the FCC in swarms since Wednesday’s announcement in support of censoring the open Internet and to ensure this dangerous proposal moves forward. [2]
This is a critical moment. In the last few weeks more than 65,000 people have taken action with us. Can you help us get to 80,000 by the end of the day today?

FUNGUARY IS HAPPENING AGAIN!!! February is right around the corner, which means it’s soon time for Funguary 2024! the drawing event where we draw a bunch of mushroom based characters during the month of feb. This will be our third year of Funguary, and this time it’s a leap year!
Here’s how it works: Each week of the month will have a theme with seven different prompts, draw a mushroom character within that theme in order to join. The themes are Celestial, Demonic, Edible and Cryptic. Each week of February is a new theme. You don’t have to complete all the prompts, just one mushroom per theme/week is plenty!
If you’re hardcore you can definitely try and finish all the prompts though ;). The challenge intensity is adjustable to what suits you. This is a chill event where the goal is to just have fun and vibe, and honor the fungi kingdom with some really cool art🍄
I invite you all to come draw mushrooms with me! Use the hashtag #Funguary and #funguary2024 when posting your creations. I’ll be posting some of the creations here, and I’ll also be hanging out in the hashtag and comment sections! Really hope y’all join and draw fungi with me🥰🍄🌿 See you all on the first of February, LETS GOOOO!!
Dream SMP Sixteenth Day Event: Crack Month!
This is a monthly event celebrating the Dream SMP's iconic 16th day of the month, this time under the theme of crack!
How to participate:
There are no sign-ups this time! Just use one of the nine prompts listed above to create a piece of art, writing, or something else—whatever you like! Please keep in mind that this is an event focused on the Dream SMP story and characters, although AUs are also welcomed (and very much encouraged this month lol). I expect that whatever you make will be something silly…
On August 16th, post your work! Remember to @ this blog and use the tag #sixteenthdayevent so I can reblog anything you create!
Plain text prompts:
TWISTED TROPES
Enemies to married
Too much communication
Selective amnesia
EXTREME EVENTS
Switching dimensions
Spontaneous superpowers
Stuck together
STRANGE SETTINGS
It's happening on Twitter
It's happening in Monopoly
And it was all a dream
With special thanks to @milktearosethorn for sharing some of the reverse prompt ideas with me months ago and being patient ever since.
Good luck!

Bullying my way into your lap then roughly pumping your cock so much your head goes completely dumb for me. 💕 You don’t need to have brain function anymore baby, I’ll do all the thinking for you from now on. All you need to do for me is cum and cum until you’re struggling under me, begging for more and more, completely mind broken. So so perfect.

If you're reading this...
go write three sentences on your current writing project.
Dont let fear keep you from writing rep. You'll get it wrong the first time, that's okay. Learn more about the cultures and people you're trying to write, talk to members of those communities, and remember that it's a continuous process. Get your rough draft down, engage with sensitivity readers, get and thoughtfully use feedback, and write good stories. The rep part comes with practice, and active listening, and try try again. Dont give up, dont let fear hold you back. Move forward, and write good stories
sounds about right
take my quiz and find out who you really were in a past life!
Please do this. I see where people bookmark and my hits but I genuinely don’t know who actually likes it. Please offer criticism on my ao3 works, tell me how many times you read your favorite chapter, please help me keep going! I love all the feed back!! Please!!!
Hey friends. Do this:
This probably took this person 3 seconds to do but it immediately told me that they liked my story enough to come back and read it again and they liked it again the second time.
Your favorite writers Do Not Know that you think about their stories after you read them. I generally assume that my stories make people happy for the few minutes they’re reading and then they never think about it again. To know that that’s not the case and that someone has returned just makes my little heart swell with joy.
I needed this today. If you’re the person who left this comment (or if you’ve ever commented on any of my writing) I love you.
