Guys I Just Found My Favourite Response To The Casting Announcement.

48hr tumblr blackout proposal

tumblr mobile has seadily 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

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.

I suggest the 48 hours between the 30th of June to the end of the 1st of July.

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!

this is great!

Heathers Animatics

Heathers was my favorite musical for quite a while and while it’s not at the very top of my list anymore, I amassed an extensive knowledge of animatics for the show. So. Masterlist. Here we go:

Our Love Is God by MissyAsylum: The symbolism in this piece blows me away every time. It’s the only animatic I’ve found for this song that captures the horror of it. Chilling.

Candy Store by szin: This is an amazingly polished, fluid animatic with a great artstyle. The way szin draws the Heathers is perfection.

I Am Damaged by HLKPro: Absolutely heartbreaking rendition of this song, animated perfectly to the beats.

Meant to be Yours by Anidoodles: Great artstyle, fantastic composition and a beautiful range of emotion for JD. The attention to detail really drives this one home.

Meant to be Yours by HLKPro: This version is done with some non-canon character designs, but the artstyle and emotion of this piece make it worth checking out.

Freeze Your Brain by MissyAsylum: Vivid, active rendition of this song. Really makes you hurt for JD (plus, the ending is…!!)

Heathers as Vines by oliviamarlyce: Excellent. Accurate. True beauty.

Heathers as Vines 2 by oliviamarlyce: See above.

Heathers as Vines 3 by oliviamarlyce: See above.

JD as John Mulaney by Anidoodles: Go. Watch it. Experience 48 seconds of joy.

somehow xbfam got talking about demon impulse and regular little guy bdubs and i am extremely enamoured with the idea

Hey hey hey trans people!! I found these two crash courses (one for FtM and one for MtF) on the process, effects, and common health risks to be aware of regarding HRT and common surgeries. 

They’re kinda old and filmed on a potato but they’re great for those who want an introduction!

This is very important research so I can figure out how to arrange my books

What do you mean they all died/lost their memories/left to wander in exile? I’m pretty sure everyone’s just hanging out at a pool party actually~

I can’t believe it’s been a whole year since the first episode of Empires!! I made this as a celebration and I had such a blast with it :DDD Be sure to zoom to spot all the details, and lemme know if you want me to post some closeup shots!
