So apparently tumblr is going through some nsfw blog purges or some shit (to maybe handle all those porn blogs? idk this is such a hellsite) and accounts are getting deleted without notice even if you’re not posting nsfw content yourself.
Apparently the tumblr app got deleted from the Apple store due to the insane amounts of porn on here (the bots… we all know its the bots they haven’t given a shit about) so in order to get back into the app store, they’re on a deleting frenzy apparently (most likely a code that’s deleting without prejudice, and hopefully in wrong, properly-marked instances, folks can appeal the delete… idk right now). LOTS of artists have lost their work.
If you reblog NSFW material- not necessarily post it yourself- you’re at risk too, so mark your blog ‘explicit’ to save from being deleted. If you’ve ever reblogged anything from your safe-for-work blog which is explicit, mark it explicit anyways (better safe than sorry i guess).
On desktop:
You need to go to your settings (click the little man icon to get to the gear icon for settings)>click each individual blog (if you have side blogs)>scroll down to Visibility> and then mark that your blog/sideblog is explicit.
On mobile iOS:
Same thing. Click the little man to be taken to whatever blog you have selected atm> select the gear icon in the upper righthand corner for Settings>Scroll down to Visibility > mark explicit.
What mine looks like:
What happens when you do this is 1) it’ll hide your blog from anyone that has safesearch on (i.e. minors/folks who don’t like explicit stuff i guess?) and 2)any outside links you have to your blog (for example, I link my tumblr page on ao3 accounts) will no longer show up if the user isn’t logged in (you’ll get that “nothing new here” static page tumblr has when you’re logged out).
—>If you link your blogs from outside platforms like I do, you might want to make a note on those platforms that users will need to be logged in to see your blog (otherwise they might think the blog is deleted/deactivated/the person moved on to elsewhere etc. and that IS going to impact the hits you get and the amount of followers)
BACK UP YOUR BLOG:
It’ll save the data as such:
A Posts folder, with an HTML file for each post.
A Media folder, with the media from your posts, plus any media you’ve uploaded (like in messaging). These files will be in the format you uploaded them in (JPG, GIF, PNG, MP4, and so on).
A representation of your blog’s messaging conversations, in XML format.
A representation of your blog’s posts, also in XML format.thats all the stuff it has
It’s really easy to do (you have to do it from desktop; can’t export to your phone or something, though I might not be correct on that) following the same steps as above. Just when you click each individual blog, scroll all the way down, and under Blocked Tumblrs you will see Export Username (the username will match whichever blog you’re exporting). You will see a “Backup Processing…” note there instead of the export thing. It’s slow, especially if you’ve been here for years, but it does its thing.
Right now it seems like super-popular artists are getting hit first (laziness of code going after the biggest hits) but please protect yourself and back up your work. Also take steps to ensure your audiences on other platforms know wtf goes on on this hellsite and that they need an account or whatever. bleh
“My character had had his larynx ripped out by this wolf man, and so I made the slightly bold choice—which I thought was right—of talking like this,” Redmayne says, putting on the breathy, choked affectation he uses throughout the film. He adds that at the time he thought the voice suited the costume and elaborate sci-fi world of the film, but in retrospect can see that it may have been a bit much. “I won a prize for it for the worst performance of the year,” Redmayne adds, referring to his 2016 Razzie award for Worst Supporting Actor. “So, yeah, it was a pretty bad performance by all accounts.”
Eddie, sweetie – you’re breaking my heart. You’ve got to ignore the basics. You’ve got to know that you gave a tremendously OTT and dialled up performance in a tremendously OTT and dialled up film (which I continue to love from the depths of my being). You gave no fucks and threw yourself into it, and because of that people love your performance. I can confidently guarantee that you gave the best performance as a vocally impaired intergalactic overlord with monumental mother issues and stomping lizard servants ever committed to film. Own it!
okay but we’re ignoring the most important part of this interview

THE ENTITLED WHOSE THROAT CAINE RIPPED OUT WAS BALEM THE WHOLE TIME
LONGTIME CONSPIRACY THEORY #CONFIRMED FUCK YEAH
D-Did they ever say in the movie that Redmayne’s character had had his throat ripped out in the backstory?
Cause I feel like that voice/performance immediately becomes less bizarre once you fill in that particular detail.
okay so you’ve unlocked one of my top five special interests just be aware
so jupiter ascending actually goes hard on the infodumping (which is why I get really annoyed by criticism that it’s hard to follow – if anything, the criticism should be that too much is explained and not enough is left to the audience), but there is one thing that’s never fully resolved (but it’s not plot relevant so it’s not the biggest deal)
anyway, this is what we know about caine:
he was born genetically defective and was sold to the Skyjackers (like, Space Air Force? with rocket boots and angel wings?) by his creator for cheap
he managed to rise to be a great Skyjacker anyway, despite his genetic deficiency
~something~ happened where he ripped the throat out of an Entitled. WHY he did it or WHO the Entitled was is never explained in canon.
he himself has no idea why he randomly went berserk and tried to kill someone, but everyone blamed it on his genetic defects and he believes them
his belief in his own inferiority and inherently violent nature is why he tries to avoid a relationship with jupiter. this is the context for the “I have more in common with a dog than I do with you”/ “I love dogs, I’ve always loved dogs” scene and THAT’S WHY IT ACTUALLY MAKES SENSE IN THE TEXT, FOLKS
also there’s that whole romantic scene after jupiter becomes an entitled where she’s like “so I’m an entitled now, does that mean you want to bite me?” and caine’s like “uhhh no? ….actually maybe” and she’s like “go ahead 😉 😉 ;)”
for this he was stripped of his angel wings and exiled to a hostile prison colony planet until the events of the movie
so the fan theory for a long time was that balem was the entitled who caine attacked, and there’s an extension of that fan theory where one of his siblings – either kalique or titus, probably kalique because she’s way smarter – somehow mind-controlled or otherwise forced caine to attack balem as an assassination attempt, which is why he doesn’t remember why he did it
but ultimately it doesn’t actually matter to the plot? so it’s not a bad thing that it’s never resolved. but FAN THEORY #CONFIRMED.
My EXTREMELY LATE Halloween Comic – inspired by the Vampire of Lugnano. Feels good to work on some personal stuff, and it’s been ages since I’ve drawn a horror comic.
There are posts from 2016 that are being shared again about NSFW. I shouldn’t have to explain that those are no longer relevant.
There is a post from 3 days ago that the current sweep is being caused by a bug. This is not known if it is still relevant.
There are rumors that this is an attempt to purge pornbots, and legit blogs are getting caught in the crossfire. This has not been confirmed.
There are assumptions, again based on statements from 3 days ago, that this is in response to a legal matter regarding the IRA. Again, this has not been confirmed.
Until staff comes forward about the current events, nothing is confirmed as of yet. If you get purged, send staff a ticket, but until we get answers no one knows what is happening. Please stop spreading posts that do not have current sources.
just moving along like everyone else
