Gyro Snores Loudly (he’s Just Like Me)

I kind of wanted this to represent their mentalities: Stephen to me in the mcu rn feels very stuck, only able to pay attention to the present and not the past and barely the future because so much bad stuff has been happening so quickly. He’s stuck in a rainstorm, so preoccupied by the storm around him that he can’t even think about the storms of his past or if the future could even be sunny.

Tony always had hope for a future that was his to save.

And peter always looks for the path that will help as many people as he can. The present is never bad, just full of opportunities.

tumblr stop eating the quality (gone wrong)

Anyone else notice that, at least on certain browsers, tumblr has started generating links to posts like this? (1):

[x]

Instead of the older, more typical way like this (2):

[x]

I get different versions of the link depending where I click on a post:

(If you're on your phone browser, make sure to click and HOLD #2 and select 'copy link'--clicking through on mobile redirects me to the new style.)

I tend to edit urls to do quick tag searches and such and you can't do that with the first url, which is why I noticed, but I've since noticed some other issues.

For example, if I post the new style link in discord it will embed a picture rather than the post's video (forcing people to click through). The second, older url still properly embeds the video on discord.

And of course, the reason the new url wants to make you click through is tumblr is also using it to pressure people to sign up with tumblr.

Which becomes an issue when you're sharing a link with people who don't use tumblr, or, say, on discord, where anyone using the app's native browser is going to appear as not logged in.

Going to the first link when logged out and scrolling down quickly hits this wall:

This blocks the whole blog, does not scroll, and cannot be opted out of. (Also adds this to the url:)

On the other hand, clicking the orginal form of the URL and scrolling down only triggers the older, less intrusive "wanna try the tumblr app" prompt on mobile browser:

And the "wanna sign up" prompt on PC browser:

These appear only on a small part of the screen, still allow scrolling, and have an opt out option that banishes them making them INFINITELY MORE FUNCTIONAL AND LESS ANNOYING

tl;dr I think platforms increasingly gating their content behind log in prompts is extremely sketchy and a bad direction for the internet to go, and also if you're sharing tumblr links it's worth knowing which format will do u better
