Once the results are done, I’ll multiply 255 to the decimal version of the percentage, and see what color we make!!
Here’s the result!! A nice lookin color, good work everyone!
i believe we’ve reached a consensus
HOLY FUCK.
I checked. I did the math. I converted it into hexadecimal.
The color hex code is #3b5273.
It’s literally Tumblr Blue.
Wait. I just looked at what Xkit calls “old blue”.
The hex for that is #36465d. It’s darker, but that is to be expected because the poll restricted the possible values to only the color space where the sum of all 3 colors adds up to 255, so that removes a variable. You expect the saturation and value to be different just because of that – the saturation and value are 42% and 36% respectively for Tumblr Blue, while for this color they’re 49% and 45%. It’s a bit lighter blue, with a tiiiiny bit more saturation.
If you just look at the hue angle, however, that’s completely unconstrained.
The hue angle for Tumblr Blue is 215°.
The hue angle for this color is…
215°.
You didn’t just make “Tumblr Blue”
You made pretty much as close as this poll could’ve POSSIBLY GOTTEN to the actual fucking Xkit-defined “Tumblr Blue”.
(for the record, if you wanted to truly get Tumblr Blue with this poll, the actual closest you could’ve gotten would’ve been 25% red, 32% green, 43% blue)
Pour one out for all the stories you’ll never find again, that you barely remember in totality, but that left an impression on you that you’ll never forget.
The short stories from standardized tests that you only had a few minutes to read, but those minutes will last a lifetime.
The books on the library display shelf you used to occupy time until your mom could come pick you up from school.
The graphic novel you picked up when you were first getting into comics and could never find again.
The single lines or themes from stories you otherwise don’t remember, save for the one thing that you saw and internalized as a new part of your personality.
Let’s pour one out for the books that built us, even if we never could find them again, and couldn’t of we wanted to.
That one book from the elementary school library that had the three stories, including one with an ogre, one with a young man who survives three nights of being tested in someone’s castle with nothing more than chalk, string, and… something else? And a third story I can’t recall at all, but might be conflating with the other two.

Looking at the “I am human” check box and hesitating a little bit too long before clicking it.

#relatable #eleven and a half years ago Tumblr made me claim I was human in order to sign up #and I have to admit I don’t think I’ve ever *entirely* forgiven that
After all these years, the app I really really want to exist is still Pokémon for Naturalists.
Seek from iNaturalist is good, if limited, but dammit, I want REAL gamification. I want people to get a serious hit of dopamine from their citizen science. Especially plants.
I want to record sightings of ten different shrubs and BAM you get a Shrubasaur, but he’s not gonna evolve into Oakdaimon until you log fifty species of tree. I want obscure-ass Naturemon that only show up if you’ve successfully logged thirty species of nearly identical lichens. I want to walk into a swamp and find a gamer in hip waders grinding water bug IDs so that he can finally get Belastoman, the Toe-Cutter.
Then ideally I want to be able to battle other naturalists. I want to yell “Sedgizard, I choose you!” and have my opponent stare in mingled awe and horror, because bitch, it took me years to document three hundred native sedges, and NOW IT WILL EAT YOUR FACE.
…I am pretty sure I am not the only person who would be down for this.

In our ongoing efforts to give you more tools for curating your Archive experience, we’re rolling out a new interface to let you hide content by specific users.
Muting hides content from your view of the Archive. Blocking stops another user from interacting with you. This muting functionality is a really exciting update following on from the announcement of comment blocking back in June of last year.
Many thanks to the volunteers on AD&T who coded these changes and to the volunteers who tested and reviewed the code as well. I’m so thankful for all of your hard work ❤️

You know, I always heard tumblr users were a bunch of kinky weirdos but I’m not so sure. I checked the polls and everyone here is super into vanilla.
