lmao it's the lack of challenge trackers
you're the only one in the market
Hey, Flufftober Admin here 🥰 thanks for your ask the other day! I love your blog and I've just queued it to give it a shout-out!
Also, another event to add to your list: @12daysofchristmas - it doesn't run for an entire month, but maybe it's still something to be added?
Will definitely give your blog a follow 😘
Thanks so much! (Somehow, barely three days after starting this blog, I'm already at 50 followers...)
There definitely seems to be a lot of interest in keeping track of challenges that don't follow my arbitrary rules of monthly-prompt-a-day-multifandom-challenges, so...
How about this everyone? For now, I'm not going to add anything that doesn't fit those requirements to my active/inactive challenges lists, but shout outs are absolutely welcome and I might reblog things from different sorts of challenges now and then. I'll tag those things #not monthly, so people can search for them easily once the blog gets a little bigger.
On that note, shout out to @12daysofchristmas (prompts are up for Dec 13-24, 2024), @the-whumpers-soiree (a whump event without a timeline), @novella-november (a word count challenge without prompts), and @novlr (which also has a November word count challenge).
what do you mean elon musk did a nazi salute on live tv at the united states presidential inauguration twice and is now erasing the evidence off the internet by replacing the footage with the crowd cheering instead?
would be a shame if people reblogged this, wouldn’t it?
"in all timelines, in all possibilities only you can show me this"
dammit hive
Hey. Take my hand. I feel like if 4chan can afford to keep running since 2009 despite having an unmarketable shitty userbase then whatever may happen to tumblr will not be our fault.
Shout out to Dareth for being an older man Kai doesn't have beef with.
so while looking at my shiny new Kadaj figurine I discovered something VERY important
Kadaj wears Docs.
Anytime i see a bunch of pride flags i have to restrain myself from saying "where mexico" bc i doubt anyone will know I'm referencing this
ICE raids happening in Chicago on Tuesday January 21st. Get organized and get prepared.
WHO IS IN THE LEAD, BITCHESZZZZZZ
As @staff further refine the polls while they're rolling them out (still haven't gotten mine sadly), here's a suggestion of mine: Polls with a ten year time limit.
As of right now, it's impossible for polls to turn into long-running legendary posts. You can try, sure (see the bug race), but it's a week and then it's locked, fixed, done, and all that's left is for people to reminisce about that time there was a poll.
On the other hand, if a ten year poll gets popular, it can become part of Tumblr lore while still being updated. People can write passionate appeals for their vote and fight in the notes. Others can make graphs to show how the poll's majorities shift with each different US president or Taylor Swift album. People can make memes about "remember 2025, when option 3 was in the lead? That was a crazy time".
Why ten years, though, instead of a hundred or just no time limit? Because that way, the end becomes an event. People who voted in the poll when it was just a few hours old can watch the final countdown together, and there's a new point in Tumblr history: That day when we finally all agreed on the best option, and presumably also some important political stuff happened.
Now, granted, most ten year polls would never reach this level of notoriety. But it only takes a few polls like this to be worthwhile. Maybe this shouldn't be an option for users to select, but something the Tumblr website grants/pushes on you at random?
So, yeah. Ten year polls. They should be a thing.
