When a tornado meets a volcano

Two limits! You can have a maximum of 4,096,000 characters in 1 [one] tumblr post. I would work out how many combinations this is, but 26^6,000 is already considered to be "Infinity" by most calculators, and a program I wrote threw an error code.

26^95,000 is already over 134,000 characters long - which would take 33 different text blocks to convey via tumblr. Whenever somebody says we're running out of posts, don't forget that tumblr is needlessly designed for MASSIVE amounts of information [no matter how detrimental it may be for mobile phones].

Though I'm not certain if that character count includes spaces, unfortunately, as I got that figure by googling "how many letters are in lord of the rings" and came upon a TikTok that counted the number of letter characters in LotR in order to figure out how many Spaghettios cans would be needed to re-write the entire thing, if one were to cut and paste each individual letter from the cans blackmail-letter style.

For those curious, the numbers are 2,261,081 letters in LotR, which calculates out to 8,795 cans of Spaghettios needed, which would cost about $12,225.

So, those are the theoretical limits, yeah. But in practice, the editor is not even close to be optimized to handle these kinds of huge posts: there is a point, far far away from the size of the lord of the rings, that your browser would just crash.

So if you are planning to post long fanfiction, or anything, you better work on something that's optimized for long form (locally, or some alternative to Google docs) and then post in chunks.

For the first post (first book only) there was no issue. Edit loaded, I could add the tag, press Save and done. Note: this was on a PC using Chrome

For the second post (all three books) it worked the same way as the API. I could load up the page and edit it, but when pressing save I'd get an error message. However the edit did go through actually and the tag is now there.

Haven't tried to edit the text itself, but don't think it would make a difference - if your browser can load it'd just work.

(On mobile on a low/mid-range Android the App could open up the post without problems, but haven't tried editing. Using a mobile browser - Firefox in my case - the page could load but it was super slow, and buggy, and it also did crash once)

Also as a public service announcement: if you want to filter the post out from your dash the tag is #full-lotr-test

Cordy - Same age as the btvs gang, so 21 in season 3.

Gunn - In Double or Nothing we learn he was seventeen seven years ago, so 24 in season 3.

Wesley - The only one where we have truly no idea because we never get even a vague age for him at all. He’s fresh out of the Watchers’ Academy in btvs s3 but that means nothing since we don’t know when they start or end or how long they study. The popular consensus generally is that he’s 22 in btvs s3, so lets go with that. This makes him ~25 in ats s3.

Angel - obviously is 200 whatever and doesn’t count, but he died when he was 26.

And finally, Fred. In Supersymmetry she clearly says that she was a Grad student when she worked with the evil professor. She canonicslly dissapeared in May, so that’s the end of the school year, so even if it was her first year of grad school and she went straight from undergrad, she would still be at least 22 if not 23. Then she spent five years in Pylea, before being dragged out at the end of season 2. So in season 3, she would be 27 or 28, and therefore the oldest member of the team and 6 or 7 (shut the fuck up) years older than the Scooby Gang.

At the 1985 Labour party meet, the motion to support LGBT rights as a party was passed due to a block vote from mining unions.
