Ace is Good Anarchy

tumblr mobile has seadily become near unusable these past few updates. not just from a user experience perspective (which is important enough in itself) but also from an accessibility perspective.

examples include the new way the image viewer works (if you can call it "working"), the tumblr live button replacing the profile button, and that newly created blogs will be forced to have their main dashboard tab be the 'for you' page.

the demands of the protest would be along the lines of:

reverse the recent image viewer update

scrap the new users 'for you' page default setting

let us turn off tumblr live indefinitely

increase efforts against spam / porn bots

make reporting abuse and hate speech as easy as reporting as reporting spam

let us go nuts show nuts again... for real this time

commit to improving usability and accessibility, and listening to users!

(suggestions welcome!)

to protest against these usability issues, and inspired by the recent reddit blackout, i propose a 48 hour blackout (where you don't use tumblr at all). preferably of both mobile and web (since web has problems too) but mobile is the focus here.

I suggest the 48 hours between the 30th of June to the end of the 1st of July.

this marks the end of pride month (for the "queerest place on the internet") and the start of disability month (since accessibility is a massive issue here).

tumblr office is in San Francisco, USA, so the times and dates will be calculated using their time zone (PDT).

you can find out the times and dates for your timezone here.

With fresh new drip of course~ He even has a hat! :D

(also Furusato is there as well but I already knew because of that mysterious musketeer in the France Main Story)

Lorenz: Let me tell you, I am not that civilian junk. I am a real Lorenz rifle that's government-manufactured, high-performance, and excellent. I beg you not to confuse me.

Marks: That doesn't change anything.

Lorenz: N-Nothing..?

*Not a perfect translation*

———

Ok I had to take some liberties for the last two lines since my translating machine messed up at the end.

What Marks actually said was “No change either way” but it felt funky to me so I rearranged the whole sentence. When I tried to translate Lorenz's response, the translatior didn't ever register it 😆 I had to google it

I also went off script to add a stutter to Lorenz's response as he literally listed off why he is different and Marks so boldly said that shit doesnt matter lol 😆 No hesitance at all

ツイステ Twisted Wonderland CAMPAIGN “Sam’s New Year Sale”

posting this one in advance so that whoever-needs-it may save their jewels :3

For Sale from 31st December 2022 until 17th January 2023 :

Gold Pack “New Year Garb” for 490 paid jewels > the SSR key in this pack will give you a random New Year SSR boy (you use this key at the mirror special banner)

Gold Pack for 490 paid jewels > the SSR key in this pack will give you a random Dorm SSR boy up until Sebek (you use this key at the mirror special banner)

Silver Pack for 200 paid jewels & Copper Pack for 150 jewels (any jewels) > the SR key in these two packs will let you select the boy of your choice among all the Ceremonial Robes & Lab Coat SR Cards (you use this key with Sam)

All 10-keys and keys are for use on any mirror gacha without any stats boost.

Quick maths :

REMINDER to all tuna-yaro around to only spend your own money after you’ve finished paying the essentials (New Year also means paying your taxes… like Joe Black said, only 2 things in life are unavoidable). The great Grim doesn’t want to share his tuna cans with people who spent all their savings recklessly, and Headmaster Crowley doesn’t have an extra abandoned dorm for each passerby.

buy the monthly pass, it’s the best value-for-money ;

the daily 16-jewels is the best value-for-money for bundles, as you can get up to (16 x 17 =) 272 paid jewels (and extra 68 freebie jewels) during the campaign if you patiently purchase it daily. If you start today, you’ll have 320 paid jewels (+ 80 freebies) to spend at Sam’s for 3040yen (around 23usd). In comparison, you get 300 paid jewels (+ 53 freebies) for 3000 yen if you buy them in one time at the bigger bundle.

if you can only buy 1 paid-jewels pack, try to get the standard Gold one as you’ll have 2 guaranteed SRs with the 10-keys on top of the SSR key (and the 10-keys can be kept for the future banner of your choice) > the Silver Pack at 200 paid jewels also gives you 2 SRs but only one 10-keys meaning you could instead do 20 days of 10-paid-jewels pulls on the banner of your choice in the future (up to you :3)

DOES YANA KNOWS MY SINS??? AND SHE PUTS THEM TOGETHER TO KILL ME??????

if Yana knew of your sins, there would be an Azul tsum tsum too

so for now, I think you've narrowly escaped

Someone asked me about this on Reddit too!

The Rielle theory is one of my favorite theories out of here and the first ever theory I made of Twst! I've seen nobody talk about this, so I'm going to rant a little bit if that's okay!

SO. I've always been interested in Rielle ever since they mentioned him for the first time as a big Little Mermaid Fan. So I'm always on the look-out for signs about him.

In chapter 5, Epel and Deuce run away from the training for the VDC, they arrive on a beach where they talk for a bit and after that they find a group of NPCs fascinated by Deuce's motocycle he borrowed from Ignihyde. (This is Chapter 5-44, btw! In case you wanna check it out!)

Boy A mentions he was expelled from a magic school for not doing enough, and later goes on a rant about how he "resents people who look down on others who can't do magic properly". We then enter a battle against this group of NPCs.

If we look at the map we notice the beach where they fight is really close to the RSA in the island. We know there's 3 magic schools at the moment, but the fact that they are in a BEACH and so near RSA makes me think the Boy A, the NPC in the middle with red hair is none other than Prince Rielle.

If we think about it, Azul mentions everyone in his class made fun of him and bullied him except Floyd and Jade. Rielle definetly is not a good person. He is the son of a powerful rich family which could explain his nasty stuck-up attitude. Besides that, the fact that he mentions how much he hates powerful wizards makes me think Rielle made a deal with Azul who has much better at magic than him, making him resent talented wizards.

When you think about it Ariel in the movie is actually REALLY spoiled. Thats the whole reason she gets in trouble anyways.

I thought it was weird that they gave so much depth and backstory to a random NPC and then I saw the battle and my gears started working. Also "Boy B", the NPC in the bottom has a hairstyle pattern that resembles Flounder's stripes too.
