Tomarry 👉👈😌
I could not let go of my pen until I finished this.
Not kidding. Pulled an all nighter bc inspiration stuck on me like a leech and I didn't want it to run out while I was procrastinating. Had to keep that momentum going.
It usually takes me ages to finish bc I feel compelled to render my art but I stuck with a normal sketch for this one.
Also had help from a 3D pose app bc I realized yet again how hopeless I am without reference. My wrist ached when I finished fr. I am genuinely proud of this one though and can't stop looking at it 🙈 The look Harry has when staring at Tom and just the overall picture of Tom leaning over Harry makes me want to giggle into my pillow.
dancinbutterfly asked:
Why are they taking are reblogging? It is the lifeblood of Tumblr. It is the thing that makes this site special.
What was the logic?
zingring answered:
Reblogs aren’t going anywhere. It’s the backbone of Tumblr. We are working on making reblogs searchable, which is a long overdue feature!
Okay then can I get clarification on what, specifically does it mean that staff wants to get rid or change “reblog chains” because as I understand it - what I’m doing with you right now is a reblog chain. Im not thrilled about condescending reblogs if it’s involuntary but how are the reblog chains changing or what does it mean if we’re not keeping them? Because as I said this? Seems like a reblog chain to me. How can we keep reblogging and not reblog chains?
Ok, we're gonna expand on:
"Remove clutter in the conversation by collapsing reblog threads."
Reblogs chains that run really long are hard to understand, especially if they're repeated over and over and over again on your dashboard. So we would like to test out if we collapse some part of the thread will it make the experience easier for users to follow the conversation?
A potential implementation of this is how Reddit has "6 more replies" at the bottom of the conversation. We are not doing this because we saw Reddit did it. We are trying this because we have seen a lot of feedback from users who are frustrated by very long reblog chains that they see multiple times back-to-back on their dashboards.
But a key thing to note is the conversation would always be accessible. In this experiment, you can always expand reblogs, and remember, we aren't removing any reblogs.
