Did tumblr implode yesterday? Maybe. What I saw today:


  • at one point my dash just stops...I can't go further back, no button, no nothing

  • the back button brings me to the newest posts

  • if someone else has a post "containing adult content", there is a notice instead, with a button "learn more". I clicked the button. it sent me to the picture of the notice

  • certain blogs are just not available? they said they don't delete, just hide, but I get the same screen, as if they had deleted

  • because images are hidden and not deleted, you can still use tumblr as a host. if you have the original image url, you can show the pics on other site (example below)

gif is part of a set, that's flagged as adult content. hidden on blogs, but viewable on your own blog dash (if you reblogged/posted it)

On Writing

These last few weeks I got a little bit bumped out about my lack of writing abilities at the moment. I was even thinking about going back to write more in german, but seriously? I can't even stand reading fic in german, so how would I write it... Anyway, it's a little sad how out of practice I am and that I somehow got a lot worse, but no time like the present to get into the habit again!

I got inspired to write a remix of the parking garage scene where Stiles gets the bite, because this gifset (and especially the last gif) gave me so many feelings, but well, it didn't quite work out like that.

Practice, practice, practice:

steter, 512 words, pretty canon-typical content? )

I actually liked the drabble I did at the beginning a lot more than anything I wrote after that, but that has always been my problem. The part I write first > everything else I add

I wrote a private post on Pillowfort, where I was discussing with myself which platform I wanted to use in the future. It was kind of a tumblr vs. Pillowfort vs. dreamwidth thing, until halfway through, when I noticed that it actually is not a versus thing at all.

I'm 27, but I didn't grow up with livejournal. I just checked and apparently I made an account 2010, the year I made also a tumblr and ventured into international waters, but never used it. (The same thing happened here 4 years later with dreamwidth– I am nothing but predictable)
I exclusively used german fandom spaces, german writing portals, german forums. And I was pretty active! Which is still surprising to me sometimes now, because tumblr pretty much burned that out of me in the last ten years. Part of it is also, that I'm insecure about my english and my writing, but like I said: tumblr? not a good fit for me.

So back to the platform discussion I had with myself. I realized, that Pillowfort and dreamwidth where not mutually exclusive, but could fill different roles for me. And that I wanted to go back to being a commenter, writer, sharer. I don't want to be silent anymore, and both websites are gonna help me with that. (Hopefully... I get anxiety, just thinking about posting this)

Anyway, this is a rambly, mess of a post, but that's what I want to use dw for: Messy blogposts. Personal stuff. Etc.

You know that feeling, when you're on a website and think "how come I never tried this one out", so you try to login just in case (mostly because you're hecka suspicious of your own memories), but it works and suddenly you have a 4 year old account?

Yeah. Apparently old, anxious me didn't really know what to do here.

Anyway– here I am, ready to finally make this blog my own! I haven't really settled on what I want to post here, so we'll just see.
