I think I may have a thing for centaurs

They stayed like this for five minutes once. Apparently, she was teaching.

It was just a friendly play spar with an odd turn - the others had been hanging around and got to witness. Though they had the feeling that five minutes was a very generous chance by galran standards.

Hunk: Uhm. Should we like, intervene? She’s uh, not letting go

Pidge: eh, looks like a hug to me :p

The plan for the 17th, when the adult content ban comes in, is to protest.

To do that, we are making as much noise either side of the 17th as possible, and using the site as normal.

On the 17th, dead silence.

People are saying log off but what they really mean is don’t open the site or the app.

But, on the 17th make as much noise as possible on every other platform. Tweet about it and post on facebook and instagram and everywhere else.

What this does is causes a massive dip in ad revenue for one single day. That does not make staff think ‘oh everyone’s gone let’s shut down.’ What it actually makes them think is ‘oh shit people aren’t happy and if people don’t keep using our site we’re out of money and out of jobs.’

A boycott reminds a company that the users (consumers) have the power to make their site (business) worthless with one single coordinated decision.

If you want to join in, here’s what to do:

Do:

Close all open instances of the app and site on all your devices before the 17th

Make posts before and after the 17th on tumblr and other platforms, talking about why this ban is bad

Make posts on other sites during the 17th. Flood the official tumblr staff twitter and facebook with your anger and your opinion

Come back on the 18th and check in

Don’t:

Delete the app from your phone (this doesn’t affect their revenue and since it’s off the store at the moment it’ll be hard to get back)

Delete your account. I mean you can if you want to, but if you keep your account and don’t use it you’re saying to staff that there’s still time to save it. If you delete it’s hard work to come back.

Open the app or website (including specific blogs)

Make any posts (turn down/off your queue and make sure nothing is scheduled)

Go quiet elsewhere. Make it clear that this is just about tumblr, not a mass move away from all social media.

Remember: the execs don’t care about anything but money. Shutting down the site means there’s $0 further income from it. That’s their last possible course of action. If we make it clear we’re not happy, they’ll have to do something or we can do more and more until it becomes too expensive.

Playing around with clip studio

Oh my god do I try. For all the asks about paladin armour in the taur universe. Featuring Allura as our model bc I need to give that girl more love.

It’s a concept I’ve been chipping away at on and off for a long time, and I think has finally settled somewhere decently acceptable. At least, not too badly for a completely-winging-this-oh-god form. Still quite liable for change!

The core ideal was to maintain movement and flexibility at all times, and protect where I can without hindering that. Most horse armour concepts fall short in helpful design aids, because they’re.. well, they’re for horses yes, but particularly for the way horses want to move – which is upright, primarily forward moving and balanced at all times. Centaurs would push those limits a lot more because there is less natural fear. They’d use a lot more flex, twist and fold etc. with a greater comprehension of their physical limitations, which I felt very compelled to giving core focus towards.

And when you’re a paladin doing paladin things, you need as much motion range as possible. It’s no good if your natural tendencies are restricted.

The black undersuit is what does bulk of the work for protection against the perils of space vacuum death. (things like the open hooves there are completed via the leg guards). It’s very durable, as proven in show, and the white armour even more so. 

It throws over back like a rug and fullseals on the underside. At this design pass, the upper body suit is attached. So - throw the longer side over back, wiggle into the upper body in a pull over head deal, and work your way down. I kind of feel like, once the inner leg sides are done (which in all likelihood may take an extra pair of hands - see: taurs out of necessity being more social reliant) the center seam could kick off on its own? Magnetic snapping like. Or be set to do so with that little under belly arrow there. One of many ideas still up to debate and further creativity.

Also, these would very much have to be designed specific to the taur. Obviously. It’s probably got some business like the ironman-made spidey-suit slack to form fitting happening as well. Fun technology solves all our problems.
