-MC brazenly going for his wobbly eggplant ✔️ (not said SPECIFICALLY but like we all know where she was lowering her hand that made him go UM stop right there)
- The PERFECT set up for a smut continuation ✔️
-Happy sounding Abysswalker ✔️

Folks, backup your Tumblrs, for real this time
To be clear, I don't have any news about any impending doom. But I've heard a bit more about what's going on with staff after the layoff of last week, and there are even less people than I thought still working here.
I don't think even the current staff know what's going to happen, but honestly, I don't see how the high ups could even pretend to intend to keep this place open while virtually unstaffed.
And of course, if the most despicable thing happens, you can find me at @javi@goblin.band from any fediverse platform 🤷
for reference, OP is a former employee of Tumblr who tries to keep up to date with tumblr’s inner workings. please back your blogs up.
In your blog settings you have the ability to initiate a blog export, and this will generate a backup for your blog.
Fair warning though, if you've been on the platform for a long time this archive is likely to be quite hefty in file size. This blog I have had for 5 years with 22k posts, and the export from tumblr came to be 48GB. My previous blog I made in 2011 and has 95k posts, so needless to say I did not use tumblr's built in export to back that one up.
If you want more control over exactly what you back up from your blog, I recommend that you use tumblr-utils instead. It allows you to backup specific tags, post types, and to ignore posts that you did not create (reblogs where you've added a comment count as a post you created, to be clear).
To use it:
- download and install python 2.7
- download tumblr-utils
- create an application on tumblr to get an api key
- extract the tumblr-utils zip and open the tumblr_backup.py file in notepad
- search for "API" and paste in your OAuth consumer key
- then go back to the folder where you extracted tumblr-utils and choose open folder in terminal / command prompt, or type cmd.exe in the address bar while inside the folder
now in the window that opens it should show the current path, and you can type "py -2 .\tumblr_backup.py [your options] [your blog name]" and hit enter. Example:
Backing up just my original posts from this blog with this command came to 632MB rather than 48GB, and also gave me the option to save my posts in JSON format which will be useful for converting my posts to a new format for self hosting.
On that note I'm currently looking into figuring out a simple (and ideally free) way of self hosting a static site blog that utilises activitypub, and also converting my old posts to re-host on said blog.
This post series by maho.dev on implementing activitypub with any static site is my primary source of guidance atm if you also want to try figure that out yourself, as well as having an explanation for why you'd even want to do this if you don't already know
but if tumblr goes down before I get things sorted and write up a post about it then i'll be reporting back on it via my bsky, mastodon, and toyhouse accounts
if you dont have an account on any of these I'll also be sharing an update via my personal site's RSS feed, link of which includes an explanation of what RSS is and some feed readers you can use, I highly recommend checking it out as getting a feed reader is going to be the best way you can stay connected with people if they scatter across the internet!
tldr: download tumblr-utils to backup your blog more efficiently, introduce yourself to RSS and get a feed reader to stay connected with people, consider saving mine so you can find out how to self host your blog later if tumblr goes down
i have already personally backed up all of my tumblr posts but this is a good reminder for everyone else

Boycott launch date of Switch 2 and buy it the next day, June 6.
This has worked before:
When the 3DS released, it was over priced too. No one bought it so then they lowered the price!
It has happened before, it can happen again.
If you can wait even 1 day at least, or 1 week at best, it will make a difference.
Spread the news. In solidarity of those who can't buy Switch 2, those who can buy it should at least boycott the launch date. I garantee you it WILL make a difference.
Remember the consumer is always right.

Wait until the price drops. Its really that simple
Don't let painter Rafayel fool you this meme is about Princess MC bc she would cling onto Abysswalker like a koala. She'd lock tf in to keep him snuggling for longer. She'd pretend to be sick and the only cure is the strong arms of her assassin. Only god (not the sea one) and Natasha could free Rafayel from her grasp.

worlds slowest fanfic author tries really really hard
everyone in the notes we are all holding hands. everyone who hasnt worked on a wip in weeks or months or years, its okay. we are going slow but we are going
In the Princess and Knight Swap AU Xavier is going to discover how much cuteness aggression his knight has been holding back once she's in the more unrestrained role of Princess bc she's going to be overcome with the urge to bite his cheek as she's often felt but hold back with a "wait- no I am not acting as myself right now what would Her Highness do-"
And then she'd be flooded with every moment Princess!MC has taken Abysswalkers hand and gently nip his pointer finger to get his attention or reached up to try and tug on his ear with her teeth but he pushed her back bc he was in the middle of smth. Or the one time Knight saw abysswalker without his mask and his lower lip had a clear bite mark on it...
And she's gonna pull Xavier down by the collar and do the tiniest of chomps on his cheek to finally indulge this impulse... but then he looks at her with his big blue eyes all round and surprised while the people around don't even blink an eye at what they think is Princess!MC doing her usual spontaneous thing, and she's going to realize the power in her hands and take FULL advantage of it
#love and deepspace#rafayel love and deepspace#xavier love and deepspace#rafayel x mc#xavier x mc#xavier x reader#rafayel x reader#Princess mc to me is feral and Rafayels karma for his sass in other lives aksjsj#and Knight!MC is going to realize she can loosen up with the power of people thinking she's the princess LMAO#tbh tho mc always takes the opportunity to bite rafayel#princess and knight swap au
If you think about it there is some hilarious Princess and the Pauper potential with Princess!MC and Lighseeker!MC in AUs.
Like set up Princess!MC and Xavier get engaged but ofc he's in love with his knight and Princess is in love with Abysswalker Rafayel so solution? SWAP PLACES BAYBEEE Xavier gets to marry his knight while Princess can run off with Abysswalker it's a win win- except they have to be convincing enough in their roles to make it through the wedding day.
#rafayel love and deepspace#xavier love and deepspace#xavier x mc#rafayel x mc#xavier x reader#rafayel x reader#vixenrambleslads#I JUST THINK IT WOULD BE FUNNY#princess mc thinking she could learn how to sword fight easy peezy but the first time shes handed one cant even lift it#lightseeker being so used to being in knight mode that she has trouble relaxing and mimicking princess levels of spontaneity and silly#she has to learn ball room dances she wasnt supposed to learn these she's meant for battle#i just love the different flavors of MC a lot and wish they could interact bc it would be so fun
