the Old Lore Doai (it's what we've been calling it so why change it)

The one I'm gonna call the "Analog Doai",

and the next chapter is going to be "Book Doai".

And in between these 3 bubbles there's all the Aus that have spawned and that take the bits of lore and play ping pong with them.

Thankyouuu ✧⁠\⁠(⁠>w<⁠)⁠ﾉ⁠✧ Clyde's a little sh*t and far from the sadistic monster it's supposed to be in canon but the way it evolved in the Sitcom created a dynamic that I find fascinating.

On one side you have: "I'm using you as means to an end, you're the first living being I've actually tried to interact with, my nature compels me to see you as food, why are you being nice to me in the first place, I don't want to be alone again."

Meanwhile on the other side: "This creature is learning just now how to process human emotions and I'm scared shitless but fascinated nonetheless. It knows so much and yet so little. It killed people. It killed people. We're watching scary movies on the couch together."

And then Alex turns and the roles reverse, and it's Clyde's turn to be the guide. It's a weird bond that changes them, one getting slowly desensitized to violence and the other more aware of the impact it has on the world.

(now, there's always exceptions where Clyde is still its own sadistic self... looks at poor Lewis >_>)

Tumblr implemented a feature that makes this website actively worse. I'll show you how worse.

I'll show you an example with 1 post of mine and 1 post from another OP that I reblogged.

________________________________________________________________

Yesterday I made a normal post. It got reblogged a bunch of times. How many? DEPENDS if you're looking at your pc, where the update is AREADY integrated, or the app where it seems it still has to be implemented.

On my pc the reblog number is much lower than the one I see on my phone. Why you ask? because the new tumblr feature makes it so that your original post will ONLY SEE YOUR DIRECT REBLOGS. Everyone seeing your post from another user's reblog and reblogging that version will not add to your number. And even if they leave a comment or a tag for you to read, YOU WILL NOT SEE IT.

Now for some reason the reblog graphic still works on pc, and it clearly shows 14 reblogs. But from pc I'll never see them. I won't know if they added a comment or tags. If someone starts a chain of comments on a post, the OP will never see it.

How ugly is that.

And you can see it from the other side too:

This is a post I reblogged yesterday from @personajan, and as you can see, from the computer it only counts the reblogs that I GOT from My blog. They should have gone to them but now it's like I stole them from the original post!! And guess what! People farther up the reblog chain left little comments for the OP to read! I left comments for the OP to read! And they'll never see them. They'll never even know how many people liked their creation enough to re-share it. I wanted to SHARE their work, not cut the engagement of the original post in HALF.

What the actual FUCK, Tumblr.

Idk how much time until the update is enrolled on phones too, but I'm already livid. Everyone's gonna lose.

_______________________________________________________________

Now I'm not here to just complain, I'm here to say:

WRITE TO THE STAFF

Tumblr has a help center, tell them that you're having issues with the update: https://www.tumblr.com/support.

Tell them that it's inconvenient and ruins the platform experience (but be polite, don't give them a reason to dismiss your complaints)

Go on their twitter and their instagram and make sure they know this latest update did NOT spark joy.

I'M ALIVE AGAIN

I CAN FINALLY BREATHE

*old hyperfixations come back all at once*

1:Where can I find the Doai sitcom au and is it on WEBTOON or something

2:Are you the creator/artist of it?

Well for a start you already found the Doai sitcom au, it's here! ♪⁠ ⁠\⁠(⁠^⁠ω⁠^⁠\⁠ ⁠) it's not a definite story written somewhere but rather a box of lego pieces we play with, and I am merely one of the MANY artists that are lurking here. The sitcom Au originated here on tumblr and now has a dedicated Discord server!
