my friend just told me that there's a secret second dashboard that solely contains posts from people you've turned on post notifications for, and when i click the link in the messages it opens it within the tumblr app, so the tumblr app also has a secret second dashboard for post notification blogs, and the only way to access it is to open the link for it within the app.

i literally love tumblr

i have a private pinned post that just has a link to this dashboard on it, it's great. two dashboards for life

cyle

wow! i was really hoping someone would organically reverse-engineer this and find that dash.

here are a few other "secret" dashboards:

these are all just taking existing feeds of content and putting them in a dashboard-like format... the "Stuff for you" tab/feed is the same idea.

do you ever think about how in bare a pop opera jason is so concerned with how hes viewed and living up to what everyone thinks of him (his dad, the school, etc) that even though he's a main character he doesn't have a solo until near the end, when everything all falls apart around him and he's forced to face whats left of himself without outside approval

gronkle

what do you mean that all of the other central characters have at least one song where they explore their interiority but jason doesnt. all of his songs prior to once upon a time are all about his interactions with others

peter has epiphany & role of a lifetime & are you there among others, matt has are you there, ivy has portrait of a girl & all grown up, nadia has plain jane fatass & a quiet night at home

but jason literally cant think of himself without the context of other people until its forcibly taken from him

EVEN DURING “ONE” when everyone is singing their own bits jason is just him interacting with ivy prev bare: a pop opera

Random linguistic worldbuilding: A language with six sets of pronouns, which are set by one's current state of existence. There's a separate pronoun for people who are alive, people who are dead, and potential future people who are yet to be born, and the ambiguous ones of "may or may not be alive or aleady dead", "may or may not have even been born yet", and the ultimate general/ambiguous all-covering one that covers all ambiguous states.

The culture has a specific defined term for that tragic span of time when a widow keeps accidentally referring to their spouse with living pronouns. New parents-to-be dropping the happy surprise news of a pregnancy by referring to their future child with the "is yet to be born" pronoun instead of a more ambiguous one and waiting for the "wait what did you just say?" reactions.

Someone jokingly referring to themselves with the dead person pronouns just to highlight how horrible their current hangover is. A notorious aspiring ladies' man who keeps trying to pursue women in their 20s despite of approaching middle age fails to notice the insult when someone asks him when he's planning to get married, and uses the pronoun that implies that his ideal future bride may not even be born yet.

A mother whose young adult child just moved away from home for the first time, who continues to dramatically refer to their child with "may or may not be already dead" until the aforementioned child replies to her on facebook like "ma stop telling people I'm dead" and having her respond with "well how could I possibly know that when you don't even write to us? >:,C"

@witchofanguish it is also used in poetry and plays, ghosts talk like that. Imagine being in a folk story, staying overnight in an abandoned cabin and in the middle of the night there's a knock on the door and a bellowing voice going

LET ME IN.

and from the "me" alone you know that whoever is out there is not one among the living.

OP IS PLAYING 6D CHESS WE GO HOME NOW.

This is brilliant.

anwering "how are you?" with "i'm doing great!" but using the first person pronoun set for may or may not be alive

exclusively using the first pronoun set for might not have even been born yet when you're groggy and half-awake in the morning
