Writers, when penning scenes in which two or more characters are of the same gender, often encounter the problem of how to distinguish one person from the other. If everyone is a “she” or a “he,” how is the audience to know which character is doing or saying what and when?
As I’ve often noticed in slash fanfic, writers have the tendency to twist their prose into knots, trying to accomplish this in a “creative” fashion. If I had a nickel for every time Tony Stark was referred to as “the billionaire,” or “the resident genius” in fanfic, I’d be sipping Mai Tais off the coast of Florida instead of running this blog. “But Dr. E,” you might say, “if I don’t use descriptors, how will my readers ever understand who’s doing what in my story?”
Well, here are a few tips that may help you:

tracked tags now show the most popular posts

which means if you track a tag for new posts you actually cant see any new posts because the same popular posts are only displayed making tracking tags 100% redundant

tumblr has literally just broken an entire feature for no reason

It’s been confirmed as a bug and tumblr is working on fixing it.

one of the most difficult parts of my life is trying to figure out which button actually means download and which are advertisements

If you click and drag the button and it drags, it’s an ad. If it does not drag, it is the button you are supposed to click.

#life hack

Also just hover over the button and look at what the link it as the bottom of your browser.


Hey! Now you can easily post using Option+C (Z+C on Windows)! No more having to go to the top of your dash when inspiration strikes! Exclamation points!

ottery:

i don’t know how many people know this but if you find someone reposting your art without your consent, you can get it (and all the reblogs) removed by submitting an infringement notice!

it doesn’t work for reposted graphics but i know it does work really well for art

a couple of tumblr functions if you didn’t know about them:

  • you can make tags on an individual blog display from the earliest to latest post by adding /chrono to the end, for example: http://gameofgifs.tumblr.com/tagged/season_202/chrono
  • you can search through a tumblog by date using “http://username.tumblr.com/day/YEAR/MONTH/DAY”, for example: http://gameofgifs.tumblr.com/day/2012/09/16
  • you can view just the photo posts on your dashboard in mosaic form by going to http://www.tumblr.com/photos
  • you can save ask messages to your queue or drafts by hovering your mouse over the publish button and holding down “alt”, which will bring up alternative options
  • by using the url “http://www.tumblr.com/show/type of post” you can filter your dash, for example “http://www.tumblr.com/show/photos” will show only photos
  • you can retrieve previously used themes via the theme recovery page: http://www.tumblr.com/themes/recover
  • when reblogging a long text post (like this one!), click on the “as” at the top of the post to reblog as a text post, link or quote
