my dnd party has run into an npc who may or may not be evil and may or may not decide to betray us and the dm was in chat today like “just so everyone knows…not addressing this comment at anyone in particular…his favorite colors are red and black…wink” so now i’m desperately trying to get a real physical friendship bracelet done before session tomorrow in the vain hope that i can somehow stop this npc from trying to do a murder on my party

sharkodactyl

UPDATE: the npc was in fact a shapechanged adult black dragon with violence and conquest in his heart. however he did let merry put a friendship bracelet on him and then when she was like “hm okay how big is your wrist in dragon form” he was like “you wanna see?” and then turned into a dragon and let merry measure him for a second, dragon-sized friendship bracelet. the dm described him afterwards as being deeply confused as to why he did this or let any of this happen to him. call that the merry effect

sharkodactyl

this guy is now a recurring npc because merry was SO determined to make him her friend that it actually somehow worked. he cast dream to talk to one of my party members like “hey…how’s it going…how are the tieflings in the party…not that i care…also i’m not lonely. bye” and the player was like “is he still wearing merry’s friendship bracelet in this dream” and the dm was like “yeah…”

fsdfjhskdf the dm just sent us all this image

so merry taught naeric (the dragon) the power of love, obviously, and because his heart was open and beautiful he started dating…a SECOND evil dragon. and then that gf betrayed him and cast ninth level imprisonment on him so now naeric is our damsel in distress and we have to save him from his girlfriend, the actual villain. how the turntables…

and. in the most horrible plot twist of all. the gf stole his friendship bracelet.

BOOO THAT BITCH!! stole his friendship bracelet smh

but wait! it gets worse!

[text transcript: why is the activity pane blocking the dashboard. it didn't do that before]

[text transcript: oh good i'll just open a chatbox and have it appear (insert big long arrow across the screen) way over here. this is so seamless compared to when these features were closer. so not jarring at all /s]

@staff why do you not listen to real feedback from the userbase and instead copy twitter's homework and doing it incredibly awfully even

This might be egotistical of me but if anyone wants to give the staff feedback but isn't sure what to write that's more productive than just "it looks like twitter and we all hate it," here's what I wrote. Feel free to riff on my points o/

The new dashboard layout is feels counter-intuitive to your established users and has some serious UX issues. There's no reason for a blogging platform to go out of its way to look like fast-paced social media, so the twitter-reminiscent layout just feels cramped and overly busy. The new left-hand menu is especially frustrating, not only does it contribute the most to the visual clutter, it doesn't feel streamlined to give access to the things people are likely to look for most often--most notably, opening the "activity" panel now covers up the dashboard instead of being offset to the right, and navigating to my own sideblogs now requires clicking and scrolling past information that I don't need to regularly access from the dashboard.

If you're not going to reinstate the original layout, or allow users to toggle between them, then at the very least it would be nice to be able to collapse the left-hand menu to only icons, and to have "Blogs" separated out into its own dropdown instead of being hidden inside the "Account" menu. I also think the right-hand column could simply be used more efficiently by partitioning some of the menu content out, since once you scroll past the radar it's just dead space.

Ultimately, I think it would be valuable to remember that you have an established userbase who specifically chose tumblr because it's NOT twitter, instagram, facebook, etc. You're never going to be able to "tweak" tumblr enough to be a 1:1 competitor to those sites, and presumably that isn't your goal in the first place, so trying to mimic them on a purely aesthetic level isn't going to draw in the people who are already comfortable on those sites, but it will alienate the people who were trying to avoid them. If my favorite burger place starts trying to compete with the sushi place across the street by putting raw fish on all their burgers, I'm going to stop going there for burgers OR sushi, and I'm not going to recommend it to anyone else either.

HEY HI TUMBLR WHY THE FUCK DOES MY DASHBOARD LOOK LIKE FUCKING TWITTER.

i hate this. i viscerally hate this. like physical reaction hate this why is it like this? what the fuck change it back CHANGE IT THE FUCK BACK. puT MY STUFF BACK ON THE RIGHT SIDE OR SO HELP ME GOD I WILL BE MESSAGING SOMEONE

Saw this piece of mine from get reposted on here from twitter a while back with a ton of notes, with my Etsy linked which drew a lot of attention to the shop so I wasn't super upset, but here it is from the source instead.

I drew this for my mom who loves cows and the moon and ever since it went viral she's been pestering me to draw more cows. I really liked working like this last year, Procreate is such an incredible drawing application, but lately I've just been feeling the need to bust some paints and colored pencils out and work with my hands a bit more.
