Idk what's going on with Tumblr, but I have a twitter and bluesky, (BSKY IS NSFW BTW LMAO) but I'm barely active on either 😭😭😭
Edit:
Looks like the links weren't actually working on mobile, so uhh, let's try these:

So this morning I found out that the RPG Maker forums will be shutting down this year, and it’s really just another depressing thing to see.
If you read the link the company does of course say they’re replacing the existing forums with new ones, and I’m sure no one would say the old ones didn’t perhaps need a lil bit of a glow up, some tech debt fixing… but there’s a few key notes in there:
They are NOT carrying over any history, data messages etc. from the old forums
They are NOT archiving, retaining or in any way saving the existing forums in any way
They have NOT provided any reasoning past ‘as part of continued efforts to support developers’
As an offhand, moderate read, this sounds to me like a desire for some change in the forums but deciding nuking everything is less expensive than rebuilding and carrying over info.
If I’m cynical, and likely realistic? Probably to increase sales of their latest GameMaker software by making it inherently more difficult for someone getting the older software for cheap pushing it to its limits. The amount of institutional knowledge on those forums is absurd.
And even if it is a benign reason, it’s still terrible because what do you mean you’re doing this with no recourse or potential for change? You sell software that runs on community goodwill? In an era where people are pulling away to open source software?? Crazy.
There are yeeeaaars of answers, plugins, suggestion, community built up on those forums - I’ve used the em to learn and grow my own skillet!!! And soon it won’t exist.
At the very least, they gave a ‘heads up’ - the deletion occurs mid December, so archiving by the community is possible from now. It’s just absurd that it needs to happen in the first place.
It’s just reflective of how the industry is right now - and why it’s so important for communities to grow and build up knowledge together, knowledge that is NOT reliant on a company that can pull the plug at any time in the very name of the very customers, users and supporters they are screwing over.
The good news is that other people are already starting external archival. Here's a couple posted on the r/RPGMaker subreddit:

I honestly cannot believe that Nintendo is remaking/reimagining OOT. I'm hyped but sooo skeptical and anxious for what they have planned. Not a big fan of the newer titles and i know they've said they won't be returning to traditional methods moving forward, so will this game be more like botw/totk?
Honestly thought the trailer was fanmade from not only the voice acting but also how Young Link looks. The trailer has only increasd my anxiety for a variety of reasons:
- will this remake have full voices (or similar to botw/totk)? Link has a different voice it seems in the Japanese and English versions of the trailer, so it seems there will be. I'm in the minority ig to say the voice acting has really left a sour taste in my mouth regardless of which dub/sub I tried bc there always one or two voices that really grinded my gears. I always felt the text boxes gave so much character to how you can interpet a scene (especially in OOT/MM when you have the ambient sounds of a torch nearby. Or the silence as a realization hits the player in MM)
- Link starts with the triforce which either means A) this is just a teaser for how he'll get it once he gets the sword for the fans or B) this is going to be reimagining the story. Whether that's adding details/story beats from the cut content from N64 [unicorn fountain and finding the actual triforce?] Or they're going to take major parts of the story and change it. [Dear god, do not take from the manga. The Volvagia crap always pissed me off as a kid]
-leading me to my third worry: Z/e/li//nk. I can understand the interest and appeal in both SS and totk/botw, hoping they either don't push for it at all or actually make it ambigous since OOT has so many important people in his life that he could be with that does NOT have to be the girl that is also stuck in this destiny every time.
- the world building and atmosphere. Will it be open world? Will it contain the same secrets? The music? What about areas that had less is more like Bongo Bongo's room? I was so disappointed with the 3DS version and how it made his room a giant metal box. The N64 made it so eerie that it was this seemingly endless blackpit of a room.
And honestly, the art style is...interesting. but Nintendo has always changed up styles and was heavily critiqued on it (WW, SS, BOTW), but once I see more of the characters and the world, maybe my opinion will change. Ever since my disappointment when SS came out after watching all the trailers, I stopped watching trailers and even looking things up for new titles [to the extent i didnt know totk was released when it finally came out a few years ago]. But now I'm unsure whether I should watch the next trailer when it comes out closer to the Fall to gauge whether or not it's worth playing or if i should cave and go in blind.
I hope every single person who puts nice comments in tags under reblogged art knows that you you guys are the backbone of society. Being an artist online sucks these days, but here on tumblr I still get compliments under artworks that I made years ago. I hope you know every WOW and heart emoji and heartfelt compliment and funny comment you left in the tags is part of the reason I kept drawing all these years, in spite of everything that was going on.
I've been screenshotting the nice tags I get for years, and at this point it would be literal thousands of lines if I still had my old files. I love u tumblr users <333333333
orihime is absolutely misunderstood and mischaracterized by the fandom but not in the way bleach fanboys claim her to be

I want you guys to all start making a bigger stink about Tumblr's Age Verification Horseshit.
Like they tried to change Reblogs and people rightfully got up in arms, this is a LOT worse. In order to have access to any sort of thing dubbed mature, and We haveALL seen what they think is mature, Everything from a black and white photo of a black woman's arm, to posts about IUD recalls, to a nude painted by a 17th century artist, to anything involving the word Trans; you have to send your personal information to a third party site that WILL get hacked, and you will be doxxed. And they can say "Oh shit, well it wasn't us who sent your name address and gender identity to Moldovan teenagers, here's a couple extra minutes in the ball pit.
That's bad enough!!!!!!!! But the entire idea of needing permission from state authorities to access anything labeled mature by our friendly AI overlords is some fucking Boll shit. Die Gedenken Sind Frie baby. This is all a reaction to people getting uppity about their lowly lowly rights and is being propped up by the same bad actors tht have made life unlivable. Fuck that shit.
"Well it's only being rolled out in Brazil and UK" Yeah, to start. "Well they're being forced to do this by laws." YOu know it's always really funny when these tech giants (Or whatever you call owning tumblr dot com) get really antsy about laws considering they pick and choose which ones they abide by.
This is a breaking point and it's going to be very interesting to see how we proceed from here.
watching a fictional character stop being the same age as you is fucked up
I'm sorry i haven't been posting a lot of art 😔I lost an important CSP file full of good WIPs and I have lost most of my motivation to continue drawing the babes 😭😭
Been a long time since I watched something that made me want to see so much fanart but also write an entire fic fixing the ending to what i want it to be....

how do i get people to care about my art??
trying to get people to care about your art is an ultimately fruitless endeavor, you should focus on drawing what you care about. people will care naturally over time.
but if youre still hung up on that, try drawing something people like. like chicks with great big breasts
I upset a few people in my intro to western philosophy class with this one.

I DO think tumblr's dev team has been instructed to constantly implement new features and that's why they keep tweaking the UI in goofy ways. I imagine this is an upper management thing, so even if we say "well don't change anything and just maintain the status quo" they'll continue to make other changes anyway.
I will admit I REALLY like the recent improvements they've added to tumblr's search (you can exclude terms now!! you can search multiple tags!! and time frames!!) so it's not like they're incapable of adding useful features. it might be mutually beneficial for us as users if we were more vocal about things we want and don't want. Some features I'd like to see added:
spoilerable text
spoilerable images
the return of hover text!! remember when we had that?
ability to embed videos in reblogs
ANIMATED GIF ICONS!!!!!!!!!!!!
the ability to turn off other people's animated gif icons
the ability to filter original posts on a user's ENTIRE blog, not just a tag/search
more html support, like what if we could build tables
adding reactions to replies! I'm glad we can like them more but it'd be nice if we could take this further
embeddable tiktoks?? I don't even use tiktok but I remember trying to embed one in like 2020 and I'm surprised we still can't! even vines were able to be embedded
being able to search in your DMs. not being able to do this is why I tend to redirect mutuals to discord
MUTING USERS POSTS/COMMENTS WITHOUT BLOCKING THEM! just cause I don't want to see someone's posts doesn't mean I don't want us to never interact ever
a mutual-only dashboard feed
a feed for the blogs you're subscribed to
get rid of tumblr tv lmao I've literally never used it
"mark as read" button for communities without opening them
please dear god no AI shit unless it's a way for me to filter/block it easier
several of these I've submitted support tickets for under "feedback", and if there's anything you feel strongly about I suggest you do too!

I think what might help the whole "low engagement in fandom spaces driving creatives out because they don't see the point in sharing anything only to get crickets or critics" is not the shaming tone of "look this is how you get nothing, you entitled shits" that tends to be very pervasive, but rather pointing out how actually rewarding it can be to leave nice comments.
I like to leave very long rambling comments on people's fics and that has actually netted me some very real, genuine friendships and we've become cheerleaders for each other. My friend has a D&D Podcast that she doesn't get ANY sort of engagement out of, so I started listening to it at work and livereacting the things I enjoy about it and showing her my investment and it makes her very happy and it makes me happy that she's happy.
Being nice to people... is actually a good enough reason to do things, shockingly enough. You don't have to do it. No one should shame you for not doing it. But it doesn't actually cost anything to make other people happy, especially if they created something that made you happy.
when im in a shit from ass updates competition but discord shows up
AND HERE'S TUMBLR WITH THE STEEL CHAIR ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
