eta: you should adapt your formatting to accommodate your writing partners!!! i'm not posting this to help you get around that, i'm posting it for the sake of initial interactions and to help improve your general tumblr rpc experience.

convertcase can remove extra spaces/whitespace, emojis, empty spaces, punctuation and more from any block of text you paste in.

code beautify has standalone tools for much of the above (remove extra spaces, remove whitespace, remove punctuation) plus a lot of other tools in a similar vein.

title case converter converts text into sentence case, all lowercase, or all uppercase.

onelinetexttools and yaytext both have tools to convert stylized text (unicode fonts, etc.) into plain text.

this is working as of february 10th 2026 . please check for any updates that may be made in the future ! if you would like to know how to remove the rounded corners on images here is the code for that . if you'd like to remove the border around posts here is the code for that too . unfortunately, images being blurred in this new update doesn't seem to be fixable beyond making sure the images are less than 540px wide .

to make the required changes, you will need to get the stylus extension that you can grab at the following links : chrome , firefox , opera , github .

firstly, you must write a new style by clicking on the plus sign . name it tumblr or something similar, just so you know what it's for . then, change the code 1 dropdown to urls on the domain - in the box type : tumblr.com .

copy & paste the following code into the big box below & then click on save next to the beautify button on the left-hand side .

.DdFPj.jW0Y3, .GzjsW .CQmeg.lN9Zs { padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; } .DdFPj.jW0Y3 > div::after, .GzjsW .CQmeg.lN9Zs.T94I2 > button::after, .GzjsW .CQmeg.lN9Zs.T94I2 > div > button::after, .GzjsW .CQmeg.lN9Zs.T94I2 > figure > div::after { border: 0px; }

once you've done that, refresh your tumblr & you should see that the image borders are gone & the weird padding on the sides of the images is also gone, so they're flush against the edges of posts again .

i did not even notice the curves but now that you mention it, i can't unsee it ! if you want to remove the weird corners, add this code at the end or the beginning of what you've already put in the stylus extension box .

updated the code thanks to this anon who pointed out that my initial code seemed to only affect the bottom corners . it should be good now !

.GzjsW.lN9Zs .T94I2:not(:has(+ .T94I2)) > :first-child, .GzjsW.lN9Zs .T94I2:not(:has(+ .T94I2)) > :first-child img { border-radius: 0px!important; } .GzjsW.lN9Zs .T94I2:not(:has(+ .T94I2)) > :last-child, .GzjsW.lN9Zs .T94I2:not(:has(+ .T94I2)) > :last-child img { border-radius: 0px!important; } .GzjsW.lN9Zs .T94I2:not(.T94I2 + .T94I2) > :last-child, .GzjsW.lN9Zs .T94I2:not(.T94I2 + .T94I2) > :last-child > div, .GzjsW.lN9Zs .T94I2:not(.T94I2 + .T94I2) > :last-child button, .GzjsW.lN9Zs .T94I2:not(.T94I2 + .T94I2) > :last-child img { border-radius: 0px!important; } .GzjsW.lN9Zs .T94I2:not(.T94I2 + .T94I2) > :first-child, .GzjsW.lN9Zs .T94I2:not(.T94I2 + .T94I2) > :first-child > div, .GzjsW.lN9Zs .T94I2:not(.T94I2 + .T94I2) > :first-child button, .GzjsW.lN9Zs .T94I2:not(.T94I2 + .T94I2) > :first-child img { border-radius: 0px!important; }

Last night I got an angry message on my Tumblr from a user asking why I was flaming their story on AO3.

I never leave negative comments (and I've left over 500 positive ones!). I looked into it, and the hatebots on AO3 used my username with (Guest) at the end to send one of the most vile messages I've ever read to a user in a completely different fandom from me.

I straightened it out with that user and explained about the hatebots. But their initial message to me was angry, they'd found me off AO3 on Tumblr and called out personal details from my page because they thought I was bullying them.

I still can't really fathom why these hatebots do what they do, but I'm also a little scared that a misunderstanding like that could lead to someone getting doxxed. And I'm also extremely sad that this bot is posing as me and threatening other users. I encouraged the one reaching out to me to report and block and made a note on my page explaining that (Guest) comments are not from me in case anyone else had that experience.

I still love AO3 for the ability to write and share and connect over our stories and fandoms, but this is really discouraging and scary, in addition to the almost daily art bot scams I get on AO3 too.

And my heart breaks for the user who thought even for a moment that a complete stranger would say such awful things to them using my name.

And it's devastating to think of so many writers waiting for feedback on a story they worked so hard on who are getting hateful comments like these. Or to think someone could internalize those hateful comments without knowing it's a bot.

My heart breaks especially for newer writers on AO3, it's definitely a different landscape from when I joined two years ago.

As a kid who grew up watching Terminator - I'm not sure I envisioned the robot wars looking quite like this!!

Here's the form to report abuse if you have a comment from a bot: https://archiveofourown.org/abuse_reports/new
