Important things I’ve learned about the new tumblr polls so far (which are NOT mentioned in the official announcement post):
Once you’ve voted you can’t change it and you can only vote once.
You can only view poll results on the dashboard or in blogview. The buttons are still displayed on custom blog layouts, but if you try to click on them it will automatically take you to blogview.
Responses are completely anonymous. Neither the poll creator nor the respondents can see who voted or what they voted for. The only visible metric is the total number of votes.
Votes don’t show up on your activity feed so you have to go find the poll on your blog if you want to see the results or know if people are even voting.
You can’t view the results of your own poll without participating (clicking on one of the answer choices yourself).
You can’t edit a poll post once you publish it, you can only delete it! I assume this lasts until the poll has timed out, which will either be in a week or a day depending on what you picked This is permanent, so you better hope you got all of your tags and answer choices correct before you publish! This also means you can’t change your poll duration later either.
UPDATE (Jan 22, 2023):
You can send individual polls to someone as a submission, which the recipient can then edit and customize before publishing, but this will NOT give that person the ability to create new polls on their own.
Polls have a maximum of 10 answer choices and each answer choice is limited to 80 characters.
Polls can’t be added to reblogs, only original posts. Additionally, only one poll is allowed per post.
You can add a poll to a previously published original post (that doesn’t have one already), but as soon as it’s published again all editing will be disabled. Also, the poll time limit starts from the original post date, so if you add a poll to a post older than your set time limit, the poll will automatically show up as completed with zero votes.
If you aren't sure if you have the ability to create polls, check this guide. As of right now, according to my current poll, only about 10-15% of users have this feature.
For more detailed info about polls and other currently known bugs and exploits, check out gotinterest’s polls masterpost.

I bring you: two front-facing pictures of My Dog (pretend he's a Herdier)
a very beautiful herdier. with the shot at the end of the nose particularly wonderful. everyone admire this immediately before i blast you with 900 more asks attack
good? okay. asks blast
re: persian: i'm SORRY i know some of those in that line suck i'm TRYING to make them better but they're. hard. so. gimme a break if you would thank you. i am also mutuals with tumblr user demifiendcruithne i think we should all have a moment of appreciation for tumblr user demifiendcruithne for existing
ok. what do you want me to do about this. you've already had sylveon twice. sylveon is the most requested pokémon i get by far. i did the original "back-facing-pokemon" joke months ago with sylveon wayyyy before we were even in gen 6. how much more sylveon do you need
↑ now THIS ask i love. because it's TRUE it happens every single time i say that but. to be quite honest with you. SOMETIMES i just say that so that i can get everyone in the comments to tell me how much they love that pokémon instead. i love seeing how every pokémon in the natdex has at least some diehard fans who would do anything to see their baby on the big screen. so i'll be a little mean to them sometimes just to get folks in the notes to tell me off. and i love reading those notes. so. i'm gonna continue doing it if i have no better commentary, for the record. every pokémon is someone's favorite and it's just. ugh. pokémon, guys. i love it
this is wrong because of tumblr user demifiendcruithne. okay?

Fishuary Day #09 & #10 - Manta Ray and Hermit Crab! I know I'm a little behind on the daily prompts but I plan to keep going! The Hermit Crab is based on a species named the Coenobita Lila, my version came out a bit too bright but they have very nice purple-pink coloring and are very cute
Thanks to @fish-daily for the prompts! 𓆝 𓆟 𓆞 𓆝 𓆟
