The iOS Toggle is Here!

Per the Jan 11th announcement, you can now see posts tagged with banned** tags and view flagged blogs on the iOS app.

To do this, open tumblr in a browser (this setting is not accessible on the iOS app itself) and go to your account settings. Then, click the “Hide Sensitive Content” toggle in the “Filtering” section. This setting is automatically turned on for everyone by default. Here’s what the toggle looks like when it has been turned OFF (it will be highlighted blue when on):

But wait, you’re not done! For this setting to take effect, you must also make sure you’ve updated the tumblr app to version 22.5.2 (or higher). To update the app, go to the app store, click your profile icon in the top right corner, and scroll down until to reach the updates section. If tumblr displays an “Update” button, click it. You can check the version number by clicking “more” in the update description.

That’s it, you’re done!

**This has no effect on anyone using tumblr via any other browser or app. All toggling this setting does is remove the recent iOS-only hardbanned tags and give iOS app users the same tumblr experience as everyone else. The soft ban on certain “NSFW” tags that’s been in effect since the Great Purge of 2018 is still in effect, at least as of right now. To understand the difference between softbanned and hardbanned tags check out my post about it HERE.

Also, a quick note to content creators: Even with this toggle, I would avoid using any of the hardbanned tags whenever possible because posts with those tags will still be completely hidden (in searches and on dashboards) on the iOS app for anyone who doesn’t know about this workaround. Fortunately, it seems tumblr is currently reviewing the list and walking back some of the tags that were originally banned, seemingly for no reason as they had nothing to do with sensitive content. Most have not been reversed yet. Keep an eye on the banned tags list and continue to check tags yourself since @bannedtags​ doesn’t have all of them.

This solution is better than nothing, but we’re not out of the woods yet.

It doesn't get more snowbaz than this.

not even halfway into carry on and I'm already IN LOVE with baz fkdnkd like, my man has been hopelessly in love with simon for years and what does he do about it? act like he hates him kfbdjdnd okay, my baby, my little loser, my hopeless idiot in love jfjdjs i love him

my hot take is that korra wouldve woken up in that ice ball and botw-style speedran across the atla world to fold ozai like a metal chair. but aang is getting mopped by every single one of korras villains

The story of my life.

some of you are too angry at fictional children

Y’all ever just wonder if Zuko sees pieces of Azula in Toph and Katara?

Except not what Azula was turned into by their father, but what she could have been if she had been properly loved by the adults around her (like Katara) or if she had been allowed to find other people who did (like Toph found the Gaang).

Katara and Toph were both master benders at a young age, like Azula. They were fierce and loyal. They’re basically her foils (mostly Katara, but Toph too) and I feel like Zuko 100% would recognize that. Then they became his friends, his new family. They all loved each other to the point that Zuko was willing to take a lightning blast for Katara (he would have for anyone in the Gaang, but still).

They probably heal that big brother piece of his heart while he waits to see if Azula will be willing to heal herself.

I think about this a lot-

Oooughhh some of the letters are dirty…… smudged….

‘why would zuko do that’ he is sixteen years old. ‘i don’t understand zuko’ are you or have you been sixteen years old. ‘zuko just makes bad decisions’ he is sixteen years old. ‘zuko burned down kyoshi island’ he’s literally sixteen years old. ‘zuko kidnapped a twelve year old and dragged him through the snow for hours’ yeah sure but he was sixteen years old. ‘zuko hired an assassin to capture aang, and said assassin went rogue and attempted to kill everyone’ yeah well he’s not good at critical thinking. he’s sixteen years old

Tonight has been fun but....

Capitalism at its worse.

so i'm not in the atla fandom but i sometimes go on this tag called "katara deserved better"

and tell me why 90% of posts in this tag are about which man katara should've ended up with than about her actual character?

like do you guys care about katara or are you just upset your ship didn't become canon?

It's fun lifting the veil.
