Hello Tumblr! 

@jubs here, today, to tell you about a feature we're building: Comments by author!

Comments (or replies) have been around for a while, but they have always been tucked away from your regular feed, and so we're working on a few ways to integrate them into the rest of our experience.

Soon, blogs will have a Comments tab alongside Posts, Likes, and Following. There, you will be able to see posts other people have been commenting on, and, more importantly, find your own comments! This was not possible before, except through notifications if someone engaged with your comment.

We're also working on a way to surface posts commented on by people you follow in your feeds. You will be able to find those in the For You tab, and later, alongside chronological posts in the Following tab.

So, how do you identify those posts in the feeds? 

Replied posts will show a small preview right there in your dashboard, before you click anything. 

@jubs again!

First of all, thank you all for the feedback in the original post!

Today, we're launching the new "Comments" tab for Blog pages, and we'll be testing a For You recommendation based on comments from people you follow. The posts will have a preview of the reply, so you know why you're seeing that post.

You will be able to control the new tab visibility, and whether we should include your comments in your follower's feeds, through a new setting:

The toggle can be found on https://www.tumblr.com/settings/blog/YOUR_BLOG or in the General Settings > Replies section, on Mobile. If you have already disabled the "Share posts you like" setting, the setting will default to disabled.

The new tab is only available on Web and iOS (44.8+) for now, but the toggle is available to everyone (including on Android), so you can control what other people see on your blogs, even if you don't have the new feature yet. Don't worry, we have plans to implement the tab and posts on Android, soon!

---

We want to later include these replied posts to the Following feed as well, and we're planning on adapting the current "Include posts liked by the blogs you follow" toggle to also consider comments, in case you don't want to see shared comments from people you follow.

DEAR GOD IT’S BEEN SO LONG SINCE MY LAST KNACK POST

Anyways! Im too lazy to draw a full body and fully colored version of my knack ocs so here are their (kinda) offical designs! If I get the time and stop being so hyperfixiated on brawl stars I could try and draw a fully colored version of all of them!

If ur asking where ari is just scroll down my profile lmao

Anyways their names are..

Orange - Matangi

Yellow - Svet

Green - Brakk

Blue - Cori

Indigo - Manawa

Violet - Voss

White - (right) Jokul and (left) Nyis

Black - Ometu

Brown -Borr

Like they reshape themselves into a giant bird or wolf with their relics and they learn to make weapons like a giant claymore or Lance when they have enough relics.

Their is a lot of potential on what Talos could do with their relics when they start to gather more.

Plus it's fun to imagine them copying Will's sword or Sly's cane for their first weapon manifestation

You actually have a point there. Shifting their relics into a different form definitely requires some practice as Knack was given a shortcut with his boomerang skill. Will/Sly are the ones to bring up upon noticing Talos' is able to manipulate their relics in different ways. Like creating footholds to climb up walls for example.

Until they unlock the Crystal Swords super move, flexible weapon forms such as whips are preferable to use.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN KNACK VOICED THE DARKNESS?!

It's not exactly something Talos can correct them on at the moment either considering they don't remember much of anything about their past.

Certainly has the scholars stationed at the Elda Sanctum stumped as their's nothing like this on record.

Best everyone can do is study Talos as they learn more about themselves.

Though everyone quickly learns about Talos most defining ability in creating relics to grow larger and larger.

Out of all Talos's abilities that seems the most instinctual right next to making Sunstones.

Which curiously enough actually helps with some of the Prince's pain from the curse...

Talos is indeed quite the mystery no one expected the two boys to find. Whatever that powers them clearly ain't magla but something else entirely. The curse's reaction to the sunstone also caused a huge stir.

So far none of their healers have put a dent into it. Thus the sunstone gives them hope that they can break the curse. Currently experiments are being run to at least make medicine for the Prince's pain while Talos tries to understand their powers more.

They do manage to create a Super Sunstone before leaving the sanctum. It takes a lot of energy but it definitely bolsters a breakthrough in the research.

Talos' chest orb is like an inch smaller than a volley ball so they're pretty easy to transport them. Especially when broken apart as the little golem can swiftly rebuild themselves in seconds. You can bet the bandits got one hell of surprise.

It's something that people like Bentley would be fascinated to learn more about, as Talos is a very advanced technological being. Especially when everyone learns of the primary ability of Talos species is to assimilate materials to grow larger. It is going to take a bit of time for Talos to remember some of their old moves and abilities however. So like Lucas, Talos friends are going to have to help them explore what they can do

Talos is quite the interesting mystery for whoever finds them in general. Even they can't help but question everything about themselves. The only thing the golem is certain of is their name and that they might've been a protector.

The relics floating around in Talos' shrine are their base body broken up into pieces. Completely reforming their small form once awakened. Now our little golem here is pretty special.

You know how we explored the Forbidden Land in Chapter 5 of the game and all enemies there could absorb relics? Talos is from that very place so to speak. A treasure never meant to be found with a pretty good reason.

They have the ability to create/store relics and sunstones. Even variants like Giant Relics or Super Sunstones. Talos discovers these abilities as time goes on. Creating normal relics happens when their new friend is in trouble for example.

I figured it would be interesting if Talos was found by Will and the Prince together. A small adventure within the woods that leads to a new friend by sheer accident. Plus I thought it would be interesting for one of the Protagonists to have personal stake in the plot too.

Also Will hilariously carrying Talos around in a bag like with Gallica. Nevermind how introducing them to any new friends would go.

That's definitely an interesting place for them to wake up in. Poor Talos is going to get clocked by a few Pokeballs.

Also at what point in the timeline did Sly and the gang find Talos?

Raijin pretty much wakes up on their own. Jaden and his friends come across them when looking into the school's newest cryptid. A white tiger who has been supposedly spotted roaming the forest between the Slifer/Ra dorms.

For Talos, it's before Sly 1 to be precise. The crew were building up experience and resources for the fight against the Fiendish Five. One such heist revolved around a new treasure obtained by a very shady museum curator.

Also thinking about GX so i wanted to ask do you want to continue it with Dinios or Raijin at the helm, personally ia m leaning towards Raijin, but I'm fine with both

We can switch to Raijin for GX. You are right about Talos essentially being a new member to the Cooper Gang. They can't exactly be left alone for a lot of different reasons.

It would be much safer if the golem stayed with them. Thankfully Talos doesn't tend to stray far from the group. Only separating when they have no choice in the matter like the gang is in serious trouble or forcibly split off.

Just wanted to throw that out there since it small idea that came to me

That's honestly hilarious. Sly looks at Bentley for answers and he just shrugs. I see Talos being accidentally stolen or taken by someone looking for artifacts/treasure as well.

Discovery comes in three different flavors: exploration, theft and mishap.

I hated my old one so here is a new one!!! ^^^^

I gave her a little knack plushie cuz why not

What if they finally find Audrey? Has she been living in secret all this time? Kept at a separate facility if she was caught? Or maybe even kept where they found Bendy, but buried under some rubble?

If they find Audrey then she would be in a different facility. Considering how dangerous her and Bendy are when merged into Beast Bendy, Gent knows better. The two can sense each other at a certain distance too so they're kept very far apart.

It's by chance that Bendy senses Audrey while him, Lucas and Knack were on a hike.
