err, i forgot a prompt: Tenth Doctor and Jack Harkness “Why do I always let you talk me into this?”
The Doctor raked his hands through his messier-than-usual hair.
“Why do I always let you talk me into this?” he groaned, casting a scathing look at the handsome man perched on the stool to his right.
At least, it was meant to be scathing: from the wide, toothy grin that he received in return, however, it seemed to have quite failed to do anything but amuse.
“Oh, come on, Doctor,” Jack replied gallantly, “I hardly dragged you here.”
“You called me up and said it was an emergency,” the Doctor accused.
“Yada yada, false pretenses, but you can’t pretend you haven’t been having a good time,”
Jack winked suggestively. “I had no idea you were such an… energetic dancer.”
The Doctor felt his cheeks burn pink.
“Besides,” Jack continued, “it was an emergency. You’ve been flying around by yourself for far too long. There’s only so long a man can keep up a pity party that intense before he drives himself batty. So really, I did you a favor.”
The Doctor was about to retort that Jack’s “favors” were rarely selfless when the bartender loomed up over them from the opposite side of the gleaming metal bar.
“Compliments of the lifeform at table three,” he grunted, sliding a thin, transluscent flute of purple liquer at the Doctor with one of his pale tentacles.
Jack clapped the Doctor heartily on the back, nearly making him spill the drink down his front.
“Look’ee there, old man,” he hooted, “I always knew you were a charmer!”
The Doctor considered flashing a rude hand sign he’d picked up from Rose’s mates at the chip shop, but he reconsidered when his eyes fell on the smiling Bolian at table three. Lifting his glass, the Doctor toasted silently and took an appreciative sip, closing his eyes to savor the flavor redolent of caramel and stardust.
“Don’t look now, Doc,” Jack whispered, “but I think your friend is coming this way.”
Sure enough, the blue-skinned creature was sauntering their way. Without a word, she (the low-cut, gold dress left no question that it was, in fact, a she) had plucked the Doctor from his barstool and spun him out onto the dance floor.
Despite having numerous helpless looks cast his way accompanied by silently-mouthed pleas for assistance, Jack leaned back against the bar and contented himself to watch his friend put through his paces to the sounds of a Silurian celestial funk band.

Ask me my “TOP 5” anything!
My favorite part of the whole holiday special is that, somewhere in Sherlock’s mind, he truly believes Lestrade would help him dig a 120 year old grave for no actual reason.
George is someone who can be relied upon.
Staff, let’s talk
Tumblr, I have an idea. You’re desperate to monetize this
site. I get that. Running websites costs money, I know how the world works.I am desperate for you to create a website I can use
effectively.I was on livejournal back in the day, and they had a thing
called “paid accounts.” The free account was always free, but the paid accounts
had special benefits.If you offered paid accounts, I would buy one. I would give
them away for giveaways. I would give them to my friends as gifts. I had a paid
account back in my LJ days!I think 25-30 dollars
a year is fair for the amount of entertainment I get off this site, considering
that tumblr, inc, does not make the content but serves as a vessel. That works
out to 2.50 a month at the high end, which is more money than you are making
off me currently because I use an ad blocker because we are at war. (Previous
to you taking replies away, I actually didn’t! Because again, I understand how
costs and money work) But also low enough that I think you’d be surprised how
many takers you’d get.Let’s stop fucking with each other and just turn this into a
monetary exchange. I’m tired of the horseshit. You need money, I need a fucking
useable fandom website. Leave free tumblr accounts as they are, I don’t care.
But here’s what I want in a paid account.NECESSARY:
- I want replies back. No ‘we’ll get around to it’ no ‘replies
are coming.’ I want them back the day you run my Paypal. You have the code, don’t
even tell me you can’t turn it on for a particular blog, because you did the
exact thing with messaging.- I want to be able to upload videos direct to tumblr that are
longer than 6 damn seconds. Give me some storage space.- Custom themes or some bullshit, I don’t actually care about
this but other people might- No ads for paid users
I would LIKE:
- To create a button where I can decide to make a post
rebloggable or not when I create it.- To have a quick dropdown when I ask a question so I can ask
it from a sideblog.- Fanmail back
Now, I am not a great fool, and realize there will be GREAT
HUE AND CRY if you try to establish this. I don’t care. And you shouldn’t
either. First of all, there’s great hue and cry every time you do literally
anything. Secondly, the people who will complain the loudest are very likely
already using an adblocker, because we are on the internet and savvy to it, and
you are not making money on them anyhow.And please don’t insult me, tumblr, by telling me it’s about
‘the love of the site’ or some crap. The changes you’ve implemented are
designed to make this more of a look-reblog-move on site where things go viral
and advertising can easily be slipped in, versus a conversational place. But I am
telling you, ‘I will give you money to stop fucking with me’Let me give you money. And stop fucking with me.
@staff. Cash for services. We’ll both be happy.
In the optimistic event that someone actually takes a look, here’s my list.
As a paying user I would NEED:
- Replies back. Actual replies. At minimum, exactly like they were. I would happily accept them larger though, say the size of a question reply box or an Ask.
- A Tumblr-side blacklist tied to my account that filters on the server end so the content I don’t want to see never hits my dash. That blacklist filters on mobile as well.
- Better communication about things happening on the development side. By which I mean any communication at all.
- No ads for paid users.
As a paying user I would LIKE:
- An increase in post limits.
- Post-level control over what is or isn’t rebloggable.
- Some quality of life improvements offered by Xkit (like say tag bundles), if only because there’s no reason they don’t already exist I mean come on.
- An easy way to export/back-up posts. JUST IN CASE SOMETHING MAY HAPPEN TO SOMEONE’S BLOG AT SOME POINT PERHAPS I DUNNO.
- A way to organize the Ask Box, my god, please.
I’m not hard to please, I’m really not. You want money, I want to stay here. I fail to believe there’s not some way to make both our dreams come true.
I agree with all of the above, and would gladly pay for a membership if these features were available to users. Please start just asking for our money instead of sabotaging the social media aspects of your social media network to try and sell my content to advertisers.
I’d like:
A return to the tag system. I know they want us to get away from it, but I want to see more of a certain tag than what they filter into my feed and on my terms, when I wish it.
A better anti-spam watch. Seriously, some tags are just flooded.
You can get paid templates, but yes to the rest of this.
Amen. I’d rather be a paying user than a commodity, Tumblr. Let us give you a reasonable chunk of cash, and you deliver a useful product. Everyone wins.
OMFG YES! Yes, these are reasonable requests and a logical concept. C’mon, @staff!
I would like to see a way to organize the Likes page. But I would totally pay for a tumblr account @staff
