In re: Apple Frakking Tumblr Over

OKAY So ever since the Tumblr announcement over Apple's TOS for the app staying on the AppStore, I've been seeing so many posts spreading so much information AND misinformation.

If you haven't seen the post, click here, but basically it boils down to Apple's TOS for what Apps can and can't exist on the AppStore are pretty damn draconian. Famously Discord had to disallow ios app users from entering Not Safe For Work/Mature servers. Discord also put in a work-around to this but I'll get to that. Anyway, those TOS Apple's put in place are now affecting tumblr.

Misinfo #1: Tumblr is deliberately making the app experience unusable - False

Tumblr is doing what Apple is telling them to do. Apple is the one making the iOS version of the app unusable. Not tumblr. Although their enforcement of Apple's wants is rather obnoxious this isn't tumblr's fault. It's Apple's. Direct your ire to Apple, not tumblr, because this is directly their doing.

Misinfo #2: Tags have been ganked. - Well yes, but actually no.

It's true tags are borped on the iOs app BUT!!! "Banned tags" work just fine in the web version of tumblr, or the Android app. All the tags I've seen in the "banned tags" lists going around work just fine on my phone (I have android) or on my laptop. THE TAGS ALSO WORK FINE ON THE BROWSER ON MY IPAD. That's right, easy way to get around iOS shennangannery? Use the Tumblr website. It looks (and runs) just like the app. There are even other features on the website that aren't on the app. So if you're an iOS user frustrated by how the tumblr app now works, log in on Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Opera, literally any internet web browser, and boom bam. Your original tumblr experience is back. Original bugs and all. Screenshot below of my android phone, and the tumblr website being able to access "banned tags." Also a screenshot of the post from the wip tumblr saying that experiences on Android and the website will not be affected.

Misinfo #3: Tumblr's doing nothing to combat the ultra-censorship on their iOS app - Maybe

In their post, staff said they're working on a work-around. They left details pretty vague, as is staff's wont, but they aren't exactly out of options. This is where I get back to what Discord did when Apple did the same thing to them. Essentially you would have to go onto Discord on your laptop and allow access to not safe for work servers on iOS. It's a setting only found in the laptop/desktop version of discord. (see screenshot for proof) I believe Tumblr is probably working on something similar. To allow users to have the original experience by going through the website. For now you still have the browsers on your phone. Also screenshotted, where staff said in their post they're working on a workaround.

All this to say, you guys need to stop freaking out. Yes, tumblr is broken, tumblr's been broken for a hot minute, but you know what? This latest censorship dirge is not tumblr's fault. It's apples. And there are workarounds, pretty piss easy workarounds like using your browser instead of your app. It's not even that much more difficult. I know this is frustrating, but being reactionary and spreading misinformation isn't going to do anything but harm people who are looking for solutions.

This is the only tiktok you’ll ever need, I’ve made about 13 of these and I’m not stopping anytime soon

The Afterlife Of The Party

Marie Sanglante has had a long and tiresome night...

Among the Paris' rich and famous within the club d'Excellence's party walls, the disgraced ballerina takes a moment to vent out her frustrations within a bathroom stall as the melancholy of the night washes over her. She is valued, she is adored, she is despised, yet all she craves is the false companionship, as bitter and flawed as it is.

And once her meltdown is done, once she's had her fill of the tears and the numbness a good cigarette can give her, all she'd have left to do is reset. Reload her last save point and pretend as though not a single thing off-kilter has occurred as she returns to the party. Such has been the way she's done things for ages, such is only natural to imagine her doing.

One can only imagine the trouble such carelessness and apathy for the flow of time and space can have in the way of consequences...

Hihi, I made this drawing of Marie a good while ago but didn't think to upload it until, well, now. For anyone interested in my gal, Marie is a famous, reality bending ballerina from Paris with the ability to save, pause, and reload files as though she were playing a game, allowing her to seemingly get everything perfect the first try, from saying the perfect thing to get someone on her side, to making her recitals look like pure perfection despite having only performed it that first time. This callus care for others and the world itself in general has resulted in her basically viewing the world as little more than a game of popularity, where someone is always looking to gain something from you, everything always goes the way she shall twist it and everything she does shall be perfect the first time to any outside observer. An empty desire to be seen and heard, despite nothing ever seeming capable to fill that void of loneliness she constantly has.

This will, inevitably, lead to her experiencing certain very specific problems in the SCP au where she will have no choice but to grow as a person, whether she likes it or not. Hope y'all enjoy! I had a lot of fun drawing this and it means a lot to me in general, seeing it turn out this nicely. I hope to use more of Marie soon!
