Eddie talks about Newt’s costume… & splitting his pants. 

“Basically
Newt was described in the first script as ‘he walks his own walk & he’s
quite eccentric & he has this Buster Keaton like quality. When Colleen
& I worked out what his costume was, everything’s a bit short, everything’s
a bit tight. I sort of found his physicality. When I was coming back to the
second film, I was like ‘God, it’s gonna be weird to get back,’ & the
second we put on the costume, he appeared again. Until I split my pants –
he has these really tight trousers & yet he’s always doing this really
aggressive physical stuff, so there was a slightly embarrassing moment
when  Marco, who helps with my costumes,

TUMBLR JUST KILLED LINKS

Yes, you read it right.

As of today, November 17, 2018, any post with links, any links, even to other tumblr posts, just don’t show up anymore in tumblr’s search engine.

I just found out about it, after I posted a fic with a link to my masterlist and it got little to no notes (it shuldn’t). I was right – the moment I deleted the links, my post magically appeared in the search again. Wow.

Please spread the word to warn the others.

This affects artists who want to cross promote their work, writers who want to link to previous chapters or to a masterlist, and editors who want to link to their YouTube channels, among just a few. This new policy will kill content creators’ ability to spread their work, and for what? A poor attempt to use the algorithm to crack down on porn bots and scammers? Sad.

In the meantime, here’s what I suggest: post your work with no added links, and tell people to check the notes for your masterlist, story navigation, links to ko-fi, patreon, and other social media sites. Make sure you have all those things ready, then paste it into a reblog and have people access them that way. It’s stupid, but it’s a work around we’ll have to use until tumblr gets their act together.

Im testing if this will affect some of my older posts or if it’s just new ones… If it has I will go through the process of adding the links to a reblog…

What… this is bullshit… and when I link something it’s usually because I’m trying to share with a friend or show where I got inspiration (like a song or reference) this is just crap…

Yo @staff this certainly is a boneheaded way to deal with porn bots. Dummies.

Could have sworn this was around for a while
