Despite the fancy survey, changes to the UI and TOS reveal we’re getting the service in the future whether we want it or not. Obviously, Post+ is a terrible idea that is trying to bank revenue on user content. Unlike patreon or onlyfans, tumblr’s primary focus is on FAN content. The legality of this is NOT in the users favor and as the new tumblr TOS states, said users will be entirely liable for whatever legal matters arise.
Besides filling out the survey, it’s time to show tumblr we mean business and show our displeasure by hitting them where it hurts.
Ad revenue.
We’re proposing a 24 hour log off as phase one of this protest.

Just loved without pretense. Love without calculation. Love without a winner, love without a martyr, love like - I know you were hungry, I saved you half of my sandwich. Like - I know you hate silence, give me a second to get the music on. Like - move over, let's be alone together. Love like taking off your makeup. Like fresh cleaned sheets. Like: I see you and you see me.

“He was a good man once, my grandfather. He took to necromancy, now he haunts my Castle. Excellent babysitter though!”
“...Who are you? Stanley? Even Stanley is more energetic than you. Stanley!”
“References to The Office are not keeping me awake. Sleep is sacred. Now fuck off.”
“I’m going back to bed.”
“You’ve only been awake for two hours?”
“Did I fucking stutter?”

My dude, how talented are you. 10/10 plotlines, BEST OF LUCK
I really want to read your original series now. Alas, I don't know German. Can you tell us about your other original novels? (Congrats on 100 followers btw, you deserve it!)
Thank you <3
I'll tell you a secret ;)
I started to write english fanfiction so I can train to someday translate my own books into english (because getting out of the german market by just hoping a publisher likes my books so much they will hire a translator won't work)
My two other planned out novels: trigger warnings: depression, ableist language
1. A book about a japanese singer (it takes place in Japan) who has an accident and looses his voice. It is medically a bit inaccurate for the drama of it, because technically even without vocal cords you can learn to speak with different techniques. He sinks into a life crisis because all he ever wanted was singing and making music. He is able to play a lot of instruments, but his voice was the most important one to him. On his first night out after he came out of the hospital, still with bandages around his throat and one day away from the big announcement that he won't be able to sing anymore, he goes to a bar. It's ill adviced, because he is still on meds and the alkohol burns down his throat but he needs it. He just sits there, until this strange barkeeper starts to give him company. Suzumu (the singer) isn't skeptical at first, but when more and more strange things happen he just decides to ignore it all. He is good in ignoring things, it's kind of a trait you need to learn in the show business. It's okay, because Akira (the 'barkeeper') is gruff but friendly and honestly the only thing that keeps him from loosing himself completely. To top it all off the Yakuza wants to buy the building he is living in and he has a very bad confrontation with the one who calls him a cripple. He sells his apartment to them in the end and moves in temporarily with Akira, but being a fallen star means a lot of media press and soon the rumors start that he moved in with one of the most infamous members of the Yakuza. And shit, now he has dragged Akira - the only person who doesn't treat him like an invalid or a tragedy - down with him and that rabbit whole and he can't have it. Akira is strangely unfazed by it all but while Suzumu is starting to build a new carreer and getting back on his feet, Akira has to deal with people who think that having a boyfriend makes him weak.
triggerwarnings: mentions of OCD
2. There is a world right besides the human one. Liam can't understand how they managed to hide that world from humans, but they managed and he is one of the people who makes sure that it stays that way. Liam is a demon summoner. He hunts demons to devour their souls and use them to temporarily borrow their abilities. He partly transforms into the demons he uses, and the longer he uses their abilities, the longer the deformations of his body last. It is made even more difficult because the demon's souls are still alive things that he keeps trapped in his own body and they will use every weakness to get free. So over generations of demon summoners there is one trait that developed that stuck with them and keeps them alive: Every demon summoner has more or less severe OCD. They have special trainers and therapy to manage that, to make it their inherent strength instead of something that stresses them out to a point that it kills them. It helps them do rituals, drawing perfect lines for magic glyphs and to never forget their meditation or other training that keeps the souls in their bodies in check. It makes their life simultaneously easier and more complicated. Besides demon summoners there are 'normal' mages, too. Mages usually are hyperactive, always moving, because their magic energy isn't fitted for their human body. It give them too much energy they have to burn through the day. While demon summoners are mostly cold and calculated, always the perfectionists, mages seem like hyperactive children that get bored really quick, can't be punctual to save their lives and who love adrenaline kicks. It's unnecessary to say that these two groups don't get along very well. Liam works for the magical government and his main job is to keep the magical rebels in check. The rebels are an unorganized magical group who think that magic should be made public. They build small groups and organizations throughout the world and Liam is one of the people who destroy these groups. Mostly by imprisoning them. One day, though, he gets a new case. It isn't a group or an organization, it is one person. Joel is an unregistered mage. Something that usually doesn't exist and no one knows where he came from. On top of that he has powers no mage usually has and he is overall different. Calmer, more collected. Liam is the one who has to make sure Joel won't switch to the rebel side and gets registered. The problem? Joel doesn't have a clue that he is a mage and that magic exists. So Liam tricks him into moving in with him and disguises himself as a normal human being, which needs lots and lots of magic energy which he has to fill up by constantly eating, meditating, and other things. He has to try to seem normal, too. Means he can't start to yell at his new roommate when he doesn't sort the groceries right or doesn't put things back where they belong. It's stressfull, dangerous, hard and fuck if Joel isn't the most interesting being Liam ever has set eyes on.
honestly, to get back to creating things and I missed having a blog to document it all so 😌
