Tumblr Tuesday: Dream Scenes

tumblr tuesday dream scenes photographers on tumblr landscape photography artists on tumblr cottagecore naturecore nature aesthetic analogue photography digital photography long post

Hello, Tumblr. This is a badges update.

Just popping in to tell you about all the nifty badges you can get to decorate your blog these days. You, too, could be the proud owner of The President’s Shoelaces (authentic, we promise), the Rainbow Crab, or the extra special Supporter Badge subscription that changes color as your support progresses. Here’s a full list of all the shiny knickknacks you can currently purchase from TumblrMart:

  • Supporter badge: This is the big one. This is how you support Tumblr in an ongoing fashion. This badge changes color the longer you subscribe to support Tumblr, starting off with Steel and working towards a very shiny Oil Slick, which demonstrates you’ve reached the highest level of support for this lovely little corner of the internet you call home. Read more about this one here.
  • Visionary, Literary, Shutterbug, Playlist, and Fashionista identity badges: We have a whole host of badges you can pin to your blog, leaving no one in the dark about your main passions. Are you an artist, a writer or reader, a photographer, a musician, or a style icon? Is your blog a curation of all your favorite art, writing, photography, music, or fashion? Then there’s a badge here for you! 
  • The Color of the Sky: That old meme that curses your dash now and again? Yeah, you can now wear it on your blog to show off your mischievous side all year round. 
  • The President’s Shoelaces: For when you want people to know you Know.
  • Crabs: Regular or Rainbow, you choose. Just know that crabs are something of a Tumblr mascot now, and wearing them on your blog shows that you either  (1) love crabs, (2) participated in crab day on Tumblr on July 29, 2023, or (3) know what to do when the news goes November 5, 2020 on you. 
  • Lunar badge: For all those who love the moon or simply need to know when they might not be sleeping well, this badge changes throughout the lunar cycle.
  • Important Babylonian Checkmark: Show your solidarity with disgruntled customers throughout time and space with the help of this extra special checkmark.
  • Hewie and Bones Halloween badges: Celebrate Tumblr’s national holiday in style. The Hewie and Bones badges bring that special Halloween feeling to your blog year-round. 

That’s all for now! Enjoy mixing and matching your badges to your heart’s content! What’s more, if you have an idea for a badge you’d like to see, get in touch with us, and we’ll see what we can do about that!

Tumblr Tuesday: Speculative Species

Did you hear? They’ve found the golden mole! It still exists! It just took a break from being perceived. What a mood. Here are some other animals that totally exist, too. Just your very normal collection of animal art, really. This is one of those where you’ll want to click through on the attributions below the art. For context. For transformation. For taxonomy. It’s all there. The level of detail for these friendly animals that definitely exist is quite unhinged in the best way.

Tumblr Tuesday: Art of the Dark

Hello, this is another Tuesday and another round-up of incredible art. This week, we’re taking a little break from all the fanart to yell about some of the original art that happens every single minute in this blue playground we all share. As the days draw in (up here in the northern hemisphere, at least), and the darkness comes ever earlier, let’s take a moment to enjoy the whimsy and magic darkness brings to art. Here’s some good art with a nighttime theme.

Post+ is going away in January 2024.

We originally introduced Post+ to uplift and support the vast swathes of incredible creators here on Tumblr. It was intended as a way for creators to offer content to their followers in a paid subscription format. 

Well, it didn’t land as we’d hoped. We’ve heard your feedback and monitored usage, and after much consideration, we’ve decided to remove Post+ from Tumblr.

Here’s the timeline:

  • As of December 1, 2023, you will no longer be able to enable Post+ on your blogs. 
  • Existing Post+ content will remain accessible through the end of this year. 
  • In early 2024, we’ll remove the ability to create new Post+ content, and existing Post+ content will be marked as private. From then on, it’ll be up to each creator to determine whether they want to make those posts public.
  • Subscribers will no longer be billed starting January 2024. If you subscribed using In-App Purchase from an iOS device, you’ll need to cancel your subscription manually to avoid being charged.
  • You can read more about this change over here.

And, while Post+ is going away, Tipping is here to stay. You can enable Tipping via your Blog Settings on web (Account Settings on mobile). Once a blog has Tipping enabled, any original post can receive a Tip, with the money going directly to the creator.

Tumblr Tuesday: Lokius Brainrot

Loki fandom, how we doin’? This post set out to be about that Loki show that features Loki and all his friends and enemies. But it has descended fairly speedily into a Loki, Mobius, and Lokius art collection only. So, sure, Miss Minutes and Sylvie have made it on here, but only just. You’re all doing great. We’ve not included some of the…spicier works; you’ll just have to go find them for yourselves if you haven’t already.
(Also, please beware: if you have not yet seen season 2, do not proceed with your scrolling. Visually, at the very least, spoilers lie ahead.)

Tumblr Tuesday: HOW many nights??

Well, the Five Nights at Freddy’s movie has been out for two and a half weeks, and you’re all showing no signs of calming down about it. And why should you? Whether you’ve seen the film already or you’re still psyching yourself up for it, please enjoy this (to longtime fans of the game at least) largely spoiler-free FNAF art. Thank you, as always, to all Artists on Tumblr whom we’re so lucky to witness creating art for each and every one of our blorbos. Even the purple ones.

A wild update appears

Oh hello! You asked for the ability to reply to posts from your secondary blogs. This post exists to tell you that we’ve made it possible for you to reply to posts from your secondary blogs. That is all. 

Just kidding. Some benefits of this:

  • You can now reply to a post from your hyper-specific fandom secondary.
  • You can now keep the conversation going without reblogging the same post over and over again.
  • Your primary will remain hidden so you can communicate on posts from your secondary blog as if you were replying from a primary blog. Neat!

How do you do this, you might ask. On web and mobile, when you go to reply to a post, simply click or tap on your avatar, and select your secondary blog of choice from the list that appears.

If you experience any problems with this feature, please reach out to Support. If you have questions, message us on wip, and we’ll give you answers.
