Mark your calendars for RvB Rare Pair Week!

rvbrarepairweek:

Well, we were just getting ready to make an announcement post when tumblr imploded. Excellent timing!

The recent announcements about changes to tumblr’s community guidelines and the rampant misfires in flagging adult content have a lot of people talking about the future of fandom on tumblr. We can’t predict the future, but we can tell you this much:

We are still planning the third annual RvB Rare Pair Week.

These changes will complicate things, as explicit art won’t be allowed on tumblr. However, we’d like to find a creative workaround for this, such as allowing creators to post their works off-tumblr and provide a link here. We may set up a community on Dreamwidth as well, for those who are moving in that direction. 

Sadly, this also means that creators who have made explicit works for Rare Pair Week in the past may see those works flagged and removed, and unfortunately there’s not much we can do about that. We encourage creators to back up copies of their work elsewhere, and if you want to send us an updated link for the masterpost in case of deletion, we’ll be happy to post it.

Either way, the Red vs. Blue fandom is more than just tumblr, and we want to keep celebrating our rare ships, so we hope you’ll join us in May! Stay tuned for more news going forward.

Life finds a way!

RvB Rare Pair Week will be May 5-11, 2019.

Please don’t fucking log off tumblr on the 17th as a protest. All that’s going to do is give tumblr more reason to shut this place down because of revenue loss.

Ninjago: Masters of Creation- A discord server for content creators in ninjago fandom!

Are you a:

  1. Artist who (even sometimes) enjoys drawing a group of colorful Lego ninja?
  2. Writer who creates fanfiction about these same Lego ninja?
  3. Someone who creates edits and other fan content for Ninjago?

If the answer to any of those was YES!, I’m excited to announce a new server on Discord created specifically for you, people who create all that wonderful fan content in ninjago fandom! (And yes! The movie does count!)

Reblog this post, tell all your friends, and consider clicking this link to join!

First the fucking tags, second the purge, then flagging innocent posts and blogs as sensitive, now I can’t even see people’s reblogs on my posts, are you serious @staff @support ???!!!!

This bullshit is going too far, if this hellsite is coming to an end it’s all your fault.

You didn’t act when it was the time but instead chose to do it with a dollar worth of a fucking bot that doesn’t even work when Apple removed the app from the App Store.

And you know what’s worse? If you used the same fucking algorithm to ban nazis, pedos and bullies at least the purge would’ve been a little more useful, because c’mon who the fuck cares about titties and dicks when there are literal terrorists festering this site?

You talk about “a new better tumblr” when all you’re doing is not care and just throw in a malfunctioning bot that doesn’t even flag the right stuff. You can block tags, specific words, photos, videos, but instead of deleting what’s really been bothering the users for all this time you just go for the easy stuff, and you know that the media will talk about this, about “tumblr deleting porn and dirty blogs”, but guess what, I highly suspect that the titles will more likely be “ Tumblr fucks up, again” because that’s what you do, dear staff, you make promises and then throw them into the void with all those blogs that’ve been wrongfully deleted.

You wanna fix stuff? Fix the tags. Fix the filters. Fix the reblogs. Fix your fucking and apparently useless algorithm.

And you wanna know something? If your algorithm works but also deletes other things other than what was meant to flag and purge then it doesn’t work, it’s broken. Don’t take credit for something that works 10% of its meant functionality, and it’s my best guess, because if a thing doesn’t work and you know it then it’s your job as creators to not unleash it, to keep it until it works properly and can do a good job without ruining innocent users’ blogs and experiences.

But instead you opted for the easy option, setting up a malfunctioning bot just to be granted another chance and be seen as hardworking and caretaking under Apple’s angry eyes.

You wanna know what is imperative to succeed in purging tumblr of all that shit? Actually caring about the people that use it every damn day.

And from how things are going? You don’t seem to care very much.

Please reblog this, I want this to fucking reach their headquarters to blow them up. Literally. This shit’s been going on for too fucking long. It’s time for a change.

Sometimes I start questioning my sexual/romantic orientation, and the whole “am I actually ace or am I really just misinterpreting attraction I really do feel?” and then I realize:

Either I’m an asexual person or I’m a non-ace person who is very educated about asexuality and is a source of information about the spectrum for others. 

Tbh, neither is a bad thing.

I’m currently planning to stay on tumblr until hell freezes over (however soon that is, I’m not sure), but for anyone leaving, or if I do ever end up leaving, here’s my info:

Twitter: @AnastenLights

Alternate/Personal Twitter: @Lightningbi 

Instagram (I’m most active here aside from tumblr): @AnastenLights 

Telegram: AnastenLights 

Flight Rising: AnastenLights

Discord (I’m accepting most friend requests for the next few weeks, this is the best place to get ahold of me for now): AnastenLights#3258

Ao3: AnastenLights

Steam: MagicalBlue or AnastenLights, not sure which one it is or how to tell

If I have a FurAffinity it’ll be AnastenLights but even if I do have one I honestly have no fucking clue when the last time I logged on was.

I suppose I could also say- if there’s someone with the username AnastenLights, Magicalblue/Magicalbluelightining/something with blue, magic, & lightning, it’s more than probably going to be me!

I also run a ninjago art discord! 

And there’ll be a general art/writing/etc discord up later tonight once I’m done with classes!
