i cant believe zeldas out here knowing everything about the wildlife and flora of hyrule and constantly talks about experiments and science and even asks link to eat a live fucking frog and y’all are like “ahh… shes such an elegant, graceful and proper princess :)”
zelda eats DIRT. shes a scholar and scientist and shes dedicated to knowing everything about hyrule and you bet your ASS that involves geography and she LICKS ROCKS. she keeps lizards and frogs in her POCKETS.
The number one reason I’m actually excited to start trying pillowfort:
Goodbye, comments of “the OW story isn’t that deep” from random people who think I actually care about their opinions.
Also, reblogs and comments have buttons, which are beautiful.
So if you want to keep something contained to just yourself and/or followers and/or mutuals, you can.
It will be a lot easier to keep a personal post smaller, if you want. Or if you only want to be mutuals with 18+ followers so you can keep your NSFW content contained, you can.
Already you have the same basics as tumblr: bold, italics, underline, strikethrough, quote, hyperlinks, bullet points, etc. But then you have a significantly better quote feature, indents and alignment, etc.
At the bottom, you have control over who gets to see it (everyone, followers, mutual, or self-only), plus buttons to toggle reblogs, comments, and NSFW content warning.
Now, as I said on my personal post, I was nervous about embedding images, but honestly?
They look fine.
In fact, Pillowfort has significantly more functionality over images than tumblr offers.
You can change the image size in the post itself, you can make it aligned with the text (or not), but most importantly:
You can hyperlink via images.
Even though Pillowfort is best suited to JPEGs, this means you can:
1) Post a JPEG and have the link redirect to a better image-hosting site like Artstation, Imgur, Instagram, Pixiv, etc.
2) Post a preview of select content and link back to a personal site or Patreon.
3) Post a preview of NSFW content and link back to a personal site or Patreon.
For writers or big bloggers like myself, this can be useful for us to post commissioned or collaborative art and link to AO3, Patreon, PDFs, etc. You have a URL for it, you can link to it.
Uploading images directly is no better or worse than tumblr, but take that with a grain of salt. I’m not an artist and I rarely post direct images.
However, I am able to upload a JPEG of a full page of one of the Overwatch comics.
Anyways, that’s the quick and dirty runthrough. Biggest downside is the lack of a draft feature, which has saved some of my posts a few times, but the PF team is working on additional features.
Reblogging for those curious about Pillowfort. I’m also there!
