So, now that I’m done screaming and crying about this, I suppose I can share it with y’all
aspect-rei was the evil mastermind behind making this happen, with co-conspirators autoknight01, fisherpon, and even my OWN HUSBAND AND MY BROTHER were in on this goddamn scheme
Bliss is real, you guys
I have a plush Bounty Bliss on my bed right now
Look at these pictures
She’s beautiful
She’s perfect
I still don’t have the words
Thank you, Rei, and you bunch of assholes who conspired together on this, and of course thank you to Feneksia for your amazing detail work holy shit.
This is the best birthday gift I’ve had in years.
PS – I captioned the images go look
It was worth everything 🙂

(This is what my vague posts all week have been about)
I sent a message in and got a response in under five minutes. Reblogs and commenting on posts won’t fix this, but actual, submitted feedback might.
Don’t use chatspeak or all caps or threats, just send them actual, legitimate messages objecting to the update, the look, what it will do to the RP communities on Tumblr – whatever.
Send them feedback. They probably won’t read your blog posts, but they will read tickets submitted directly to them.
IF YOU’RE GONNA REBLOG ANYTHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE REBLOG THIS BECAUSE IT’S THE ONLY WAY THINGS MIGHT CHANGE
for all you ppl I know who are complaining bitterly about the upcoming changes.
Starting tomorrow, reblogs will have a new look—one that showcases all comments as equals, not buried under an impossible stack of blockquote indents. Our change to reblog captions last month laid the necessary groundwork for us to arrive here, at a place where the dashboard will be a lot easier to read and cleaner-looking.
Here’s how this will look (original on the left, new look on the right):

FAQ
Q: Will this show up for all posts on the dashboard, or just the posts published from here on out? A: All posts! So you can scroll back in time and see your older reblogs in this format too.
Q: Will it look like this on my blog? A: Not necessarily: your public blog will continue to display reblogs according to however your chosen theme displays them. The new look is on the dashboard only, for now.
Q: How do I reblog starting from a certain post in the reblog thread? A: Same as before: Just click the username of whoever made the reblog you want to reblog from. It’ll open up, and you can click or tap its reblog icon to reblog that post. Got it?
Q: Can I edit earlier reblogs, or the original post, in my reblog? A: You can choose whether or not you want to include that stuff in your own reblog, but you can’t really go in and edit other people’s text. We know—that level of flexibility allowed you guys do some pretty interesting stuff, but it also made misattribution way too easy.
Q: Can I remove all captions on a post that I’m reblogging? A: Sure. Click or tap the reblog button and click on the X that appears when you hover over the comments.
Q: Can I delete a single reblog caption within the thread? A: No, it’s an all-or-nothing thing.
Q: How can I be sure my posts are credited properly? A: Use the content source field! No matter how many times an original post of yours gets reblogged, you’ll always be credited as the source. Rebloggers might add a gif, or some commentary, or take out the caption entirely, but your username will always, always be stuck to the bottom of the post. Click on that source link any time you want to see what was originally posted.
Q: Can I send you my feedback on this change? A: Yes. And for the record, even when you receive a simple thank-you response (which is necessary since there are millions of you and only a few of us), every word of your feedback is read lovingly by human eyes, then passed along to our engineers.
I’m seeing a lot of complaints about this, but you know what?
At this point, it’s a damn ton better than what we currently have.
Because at least you’ll be able to tel who posts what, and what the hell they are saying.
If I have one suggestion staff, streamline it a lot more. That current design is far too bulky.
