^ i can’t speak for all disabled people , but as someone with eyestrain and visual processing issues , the new layout isn’t just ugly but also actively triggers headaches and eyestrain for me if i use tumblr for more than a few minutes - i encourage anyone submitting feedback to also bring up the inaccessibility , especially if you’re having similar access issues with the dash

A new way to navigate Tumblr

If you use Tumblr on a web browser, you might have noticed us testing a brand new navigation on your dashboard in the last month. Now, after some extensive tweaks, we’ve begun rolling out this new dashboard navigation to everyone using a web browser. Welcome to the new world. It’s very like the old world, just in a different layout.

Why are we doing this? We want it to be as easy as possible for everyone to understand and explore what’s happening on Tumblr—newbies and seasoned travelers alike.

Labels over icons: When adding something new to Tumblr in the past, we’d simply add a new icon to our navigation with little further explanation. Turns out no one likes to press a button when they don’t know what it does. So now, where there’s space, the navigation includes text labels. Since adding these, we’ve noticed more of you venturing to previously unexplored corners of Tumblr. Intrepid!

What’s already been fixed? Thanks to feedback from folks during the testing phase, we’ve been able to make some improvements right out of the gate. Those include returning settings subpages (Account, Dashboard, etc.) to the right of the settings page instead of having them in an expandable item in the navigation on the left; fixing some issues with messaging windows on smaller screens; and streamlining the Account section to make it easier to get to your blogs.

What’s next? We’re looking into making a collapsible version of this navigation and improving the use of screen space for those of you with enormous screens. We’re also working on improving access to your account and sideblogs.

That’s all for now, folks. For questions and suggestions, contact Support using the “Feedback” category. Please select the “Report a bug or crash” category on the support form for technical issues. And keep an eye out for more updates here on @changes.

#text #not sure how common it is ? but i know some other disabled people i've talked to find it much more inaccessible #anyway may have to abandon this blog if there doesn't end up being any progress on this LMAO #love tumblr nuking it's long-term userbase with terrible decisions

A Recreation of the CHARActer Analysis post by Determinators

Why? I just think it is an amazing piece of information and writing and I don't want it to be in just one place in case something happens. Plus if I'm the one who remakes it, I'll have easy access to it lol. (reblogs disabled so as not to compete with anyone else's traffic/steal notes. Just reblog the original when possible or share a link to this one when you want to talk about it) @not-the-conversation-starter @redeterminators (<- that's me. I need to @ myself to be able to reblog this to get past limits)

Starting, NOW:

Greetings. 

Uh, so I’ve been working on this meta post for around 3 months now, gathering screenshots, gathering feedback, gathering more screenshots. The result is what could conceivably be called thorough.

Compared to the animation I made as the header, the post’s content was much harder to put together and write; I consider the animation icing on the cake. If you liked the animation, and like Chara (or don’t like Chara) then please consider reading the meta. It’s finally done!

Sections…

As a good portion (though not all) of this post is based on the well-known “Chara is the narrator” theory, first and foremost, this section has to be here to provide the base of the post.  It has most of the information known so far that supports the theory, and then some.

Here, we see the Chara describe the bed on the right as Asriel’s bed.

Nothing seems off about this in the pacifist run. There it’s just described as a “twin-sized” bed.

But the narrator has areaction upon seeing the bed on the left in the Pacifist route. What’s so special about the left one? Why is it this one that prompts this reaction?

Chara’s bed. Chara’s deathbed.

That’s a pretty morbid comment to make; “If you laid down here you might not get up”. That sort of comment, especially in the pacifist run, is probably enough to make you squint and go “the fuck, my dude”. It’s completely out of left field. Most importantly, the narrator only had this reaction to Chara’s bed. The narrator knows Chara died here.

Why does that prove the theory?

They only seem to know what Frisk knows, and what they know.

At first, they don’t know what the plant in Toriel’s hallway is any more than Frisk  does.

Then Frisk reads the book about it…

Now the narrator knows what it is:

It’s another line that seems out of place the first time you see it - shouldn’t the narrator know everything? You’ve taught the narrator? Narrators, as you know, are supposed to be informative and helpful. There is no reason the narrator should fail to know something so obvious this soon in the game. They seem excited, too.

And they may not have known what a water sausage was called, but they knew what a golden flower looked like when they saw it at the very start, before anyone has even mentioned them or pointed them out. 

No one had to teach the narrator what this rare species of flower was name, even though they didn’t know what the common water sausage was called.

In addition narrator’s inconsistent botany knowledge, when you check the snow poffs in Snowdin, the narrator also shows a reaction to something they didn’t know before (after indulging in some serious sarcasm at Frisk’s incessant checking)

…and they seem a little dismayed to find there was something worth the repeated checks after all.

They also think Shyren’s tone deaf until Frisk starts singing with her…

And, my personal favorite:

The narrator doesn’t know everything and can learn or be proven wrong.

So we return to this neutral/pacifist line:

This narrator knows something about this bed that makes it different from the bed on the right. They react to this bed only, and pass this rather morbid, off-handed remark here. Mind you, this is still the pacifist run and white-text.

Despite not knowing everything, they know what happened here. Frisk does not yet know what happened in this bed. Chara does.

There is a jarring moment in the Pacifist run where the narrator completely breaks their usual way of narrating.

It’s Asriel’s phonecall.

The narrator has a huge reaction upon hearing his voice - the biggest emotional reaction they’ve had so far. The text spacing doubles out, the line delivers extremely slowly. This voice means something to them.

They just found out their best friend was alive after dying with him. Chara had no reason to believe Asriel was alive until then, speaking, breathing, and calling their name. They’re in shock.

They don’t show any reaction if you get the Snowdin phone call from Alphys, by the way, even though you’ve never met her, even if you’ve never reset (you can get this even if it’s your very first playthrough!). It’s Asriel’s voice, not the surprise phone call itself, that elicits this unique reaction.

Does anyone else have that thing where you try to ask people about a problem, like "hey I have no mouth and I must scream, what do I do?" and someone goes "well have you tried yodelling?" and when you explain you can't do that either, because of the whole no mouth thing, they keep suggesting different things you could do to make noise with a mouth, and you keep repeating different variations of "the problem isn't the sound I should make, the problem is the mouth", while everyone keeps listing different languages you could learn, or learning to whistle or something, and you just want to copy-paste "the mouth. the mouth is the problem. the problem is the mouth", and you're ultimately at a complete loss of how to explain the problem at hand because you've re-worded it so many times you're starting to sound like Mojo Jojo.

And eventually people just go "well clearly you don't want a solution to this problem, you just want to be miserable" when you still don't know how to explain to them that the problem that they were trying to suggest solutions to is not the problem you were having, currently have, and are still in the middle of having. You would probably be doing the solutions they were suggesting if it weren't for the problem specifically preventing it.

Or am I just bad at explaining things.
