Seven Demons in the Mind of One.

Who gets to have it? And what happens to those that don’t?

I love photography, and I am a firm believer that one photo that turns out hilariously bad doesnt mean I'm a waste of potential. It just means that my subject moved, or there was something on my lense, or maybe I started dropping my phone (yes I prefer to use my phone) mid-photo. I'd rather laugh it off and recognize that one picture doesnt define the whole shoot than wallow in sorrow over one imperfect image.

My artist friends should be allowed to not get super worried over one painting that didnt turn out exactly how they planned it out, or one drawing that they ended up smudging once or twice. They have every right to be upset about it, especially since these art forms take time and effort, but you should never have to worry about whether this means you've "lost your talent."

An amazing chef should be able to create a gross meal without thinking immediately after that they're a failure.

On April 4, 2014, I released the first announcement of the very first version of RPThreadTracker. It was kind of a messy project at first - really, I originally set it up for my own personal writing use and didn’t expect it to go anywhere.

But people found it, and they used it, and they sent incredibly nice feedback and for six and a half years now I’ve been thrilled to help support all of you in the RP community on Tumblr and keep this tool useful and up to date. It has been an amazing learning experience for me in so many ways and I’m so glad I’ve been able to be a help to so many people as well.

Unfortunately, I have reached a point where I can no longer commit time to maintaining the site (as you may have all noticed, given the dearth of updates lately) and general usage has also dropped steadily in the last few years since the Tumblr porn ban, which is making it harder to justify the amount I’m spending on hosting and data storage every month. So I am sad to say I will be closing RPThreadTracker.com down permanently starting Feb 1 2021.

It’s my hope that this two-month leadup will give plenty of time for anyone still actively using the site to export their threads (there’s a tool for that on the site!) and get settled with a new system. I’m happy to assist anyone with this that needs help. On Feb 1, I will be shutting down the site and deleting all stored databases.

Also, as a note - the code for RPThreadTracker is 100% open-source; I would completely support anyone else who wanted to make use of it for a future tool. Feel free to get in touch with me if that’s something that interests you.

Thank you again to everyone who has supported the site over the years. You all are fantastic and I wish you all happy writing forever.

My mom thinks I'm spending too much time using my phone and reading, and not studying. How she expects me to study when my school is a joke and the world is crumbling, I don't know, but that is a whole other post.

She also found out that I use Tumblr, and she's furious. I'm literally not allowed to be on any social media platform, so she wants me to delete my Tumblr now.

Anyway, after many hours of lectures and yelling and tears, and explaining what exactly Tumblr is, she's decided that if this post gets

10,000 notes I get to keep my phone

20,000 notes I get to keep my phone AND my Tumblr

30,000 notes I get to keep my phone and Tumblr, and I also get as many books as I want

She's doing this cause she thinks Tumblr is useless and that I'll never get enough notes, so help please! I know this is near impossible.
