The Clone Wars

Obi-Wan Kenobi really took one look at R2D2 in the middle of the desert and said “No, Luke, I’ve never seen this fucking droid in my life. Looks like a real bitch though. Not that I’d know. This is my first time meeting the asshole.”

Simon, who cannot stand a silence anymore, grabbing him by the collar: if you shut up i will die. Now, explain to me how you defended this thesis of yours.

The reblog chain is one of the things that makes Tumblr unlike anywhere else. All the notes on reblogs are attributed to the original post, no matter which branch people actually liked or reblogged. We want to keep encouraging conversations, and give contributors the recognition they deserve. 

Soon, you'll be able to like, reblog, or reply to any part of a reblog chain, and that note will go to that reblog's author. Each reblog will have its own counts, instead of one aggregated number from every version of the post. And yes, you’ll be able to like multiple posts in one chain.

If a reblog doesn't add anything, the love flows up to the last person in the chain who did. Your post doesn't lose notes just because people spread it quietly.

Past notes will stay on the original post — we're only changing what happens from here on out. Retroactively re-attributing all of them would be... a lot.

We rolled out a significant change to how notes work on reblogs, and the reaction has been strong. We're not going to pretend otherwise. 

First things first: We're reversing the change. Your feedback in comments, emails, and especially reblogs, made clear that the rollout created problems we need to address before moving forward. We also should have communicated this differently from the start, and we didn't.

We still believe there's a better version of how reblogs can work. One that gives every voice in a chain the credit it deserves. But we want to get there with you.

In the coming days we'll share more on how we plan to do that,  including ways to work directly with some of you on this and future changes before they ship.

if someone I follow because they reblog great things now reblogs something I think is great, and I want the op to see that I thought their post was great, I now have to ignore the person I specifically followed for sharing those kinds of posts and go directly to the original post to reblog it. effectively severing the connection and community that was the whole point of having mutuals and following each other.

AND/OR I have to reblog it completely silently — assuming that every person in the reblog chain before me did the same — expressing no reaction to the post in even the tags, let alone a comment, so the op never knows what I thought or felt about their post because otherwise I will have created my own version of that post and denied them from seeing any further feedback or engagement. effectively severing the connection and community that was the whole point of being able to share things and have discussions.

People get very mad for a few days and then roll over and accept the change to the enclosure. This is what they are betting on. They have had meetings about this.

Jack Abbot may be the most bisexual trauma doctor to hit our screens since Hawkeye Pierce himself. He radiates blue and purple. That man has a thirst. That man flirts with anyone who appeals to him, gender be damned, and he flirts generously. Just fucking look at that last episode. He catches Robby, Baran, and Samira in the span of mere minutes. "You should see me as a flight attendant" to "we should get some beers and share war stories" to "I'll pay for it" before the ten minute mark is even up???

it’s so dumb but so, so funny
