A Statement On the Tumblr Update

Well, y’all, Tumblr certainly is a webbed-site. If you haven’t noticed yet, let us burst your bubble. Staff made an update to how reblogs fundamentally work on Tumblr.

It has always been the case that the originator of a post gets the notes. This functionality is what allows Tumblr’s “Yes and-” culture. You know, the long chains of silly meme worthy posts we all love? It also supports creators, because regardless of how far down the reblog chain you go, OP gets notes for comments on their art and fic. 

The new functionality breaks those chains, but it’s less freeing and more letting the posts float away into the sunset while a bunch of tumblr-ites scream “Nooo! Our posts!” Now, you can “like, reblog, or reply to any part of a reblog chain, and that note will go to the reblog’s author.” As in they’re taking OP out of the equation entirely. 

In the wise words of Mod Fridurwrites, “this fucking sucks, lmfao”. These changes will fundamentally change how things work on Tumblr, including on this events blog. When Submission Periods for Outer Wilds Events begin, we rely on the old reblog function to let your lovely comments get to the creator of the art and fic.

While there are things we can do on our end to maintain that flow, we’re going to need your help too. When commenting on submissions to our events please be sure to add them to OP’s post and not our own reblog. This ensures the kind words get to the right person!

If you’re as upset about this change as we are and want to do something more, please be sure to tell Staff. The best way to do that is to leave a ticket here . Be sure to describe the issues you have with the latest update and why it runs counter to Tumblr’s culture as a website. You can also comment on their posts on Tumblr, Twitter/X, and  Instagram.

@ceciledraws said: ive only just gotten far enough in the manga to see them interact, but when shoto gets off school and there’s that fairly intense conversation between enji and natsuo, and he’s just slurping his soba the whole time

@fatally3103 said: The sheer Drama of Dabi and Shouto in the Forest Training Camp Arc! Not only did Dabi’s shot that he fired off very carefully avoid Shouto, I wonder what his thoughts were as Shouto lunged towards him? That was the closest he’d been to his brother in years, likely.

Calling it “work” makes it sound way more important than it actually is lol.

Hey there!

We will make an announcement when contributor applications are close to opening. Once they're open, all you need to do is fill out the application! We will also post contributor guidelines as well as a post of tips and tricks for making a solid portfolio.

How selective we are depends on how many contributor slots we will have of each type and how many people apply. In general, we will be looking for high quality work, but the fewer slots and the higher the applicant level, the more competitive it will be. Don't let this discourage you though! Since we're a pdf, we can accept more contributors than a physical zine. Our ratio of artists to writers will be determined by our interest check.

Oh man, it was kinda trippy to have it hit full force that I was real? Like...I knew I was real, I had fronted before and stuff, but to know how I looked and acted was just beyond a character in a daydream...and actually a separate entity from the others? That was weird, man. -Mod Muse

For me, it was kinda just this moment of “oh”. Because kids even at a young age can tell when they’re different from other kids. And growing up I always knew there was something different about me, something I did the other kids didn’t have to go through. And when I realized I was the host of a system, it all just kinda fell into place. These guys help me tons, though, and I wouldn’t trade them for the world. -Mod Tim
