how to know if tumblr has been eating your asks: send yourself anywhere between 5-10 asks, ( anon or not ) but have each ask be nothing but an order in which you sent them.
i.e: the first ask says ‘1′, the second says ‘2′, etc etc.
i sent myself ten of these, both on anon and not. This was all i received back:
Tumblr is now eating asks along with notifications. We must be more interactive than ever if we want keep this form of entertainment we call the rpc. Go ahead and warn your friends or test this for yourselves.. This post is reblogable.
I just sent myself five of these. none of them came through.
I just did this myself last night and out of the ten ask I sent myself only one came through.
Please know if I’m not responding to you, your ask, or your messages, I am notwillingly ignoring you. I am however doing my best to try and stay in contact with everyone.
sorry to everyone who tagged me or sent me an ask. If I didn’t react to it, tumblr didn’t show me.
{As a PSA, the mun recently tried this and only got one back, and she’s known some people were having trouble getting their asks through. If you’re worried about whether or not we’ve received your ask, send a message with something like, “Hey, can you see if this got through: [your ask here],” and we’ll gladly check. 🙂 Those who wish to remain anonymous and those with no Tumblr accounts, apologies in advance if any of your asks went missing!}
(No, really, where can I read about this? This sounds like distracting furry drama!)
{If this is an OOC question—and, eff, even if it wasn’t, because all of you need to be blessed with joy on this delightful evening—a friend of the mun’s has given her the context.
{Apologies for the walls of text recently. Evidently, trying to skirt the system by logging into Tumblr via mobile browser instead of downloading the app no longer works unless you remember to code all your paragraphs in Proper HTML. 🙃 Will download the app later, so that shouldn’t happen again.}
Since it’s pride month and I wanna spread that good positivity around,
If any Poké ask/daily blogs (and/or their muses are LGBT+ 🏳️🌈) Reblog this! (And also maybe say what you are in the tags (but only if you’re comfortable :o)
{Adorable ask gets a nice round number. Yes, good.}
{In all OOC seriousness (because I get the feeling you’re asking this out-of-character and not from the perspective of an in-universe person asking about roleplaying pokémon … which would admittedly be some pretty rad Inception stuff, but still), I’m admittedly bad at this kind of thing, partly because most of the movesets I build are very strictly game-based (that is, I don’t really keep wishlists) and partly because I’m terrible at remembering who learns what (hence point the first). So a lot of my knowledge on the subject of who knows what tends to be pretty limited unless it’s incredibly obvious or otherwise meme-worthy. Like, for example, why can’t Kyurem learn Ice Punch?
But memes aside, I think my favorite examples are when the anime messes up, because some of these examples just sort of make sense, both in general for the pokémon and strategically speaking. For example, my favorite? Scizor and Shadow Claw. You would think scizor of all things would learn Shadow Claw, and in terms of battling, it does have the stats to support that kind of move. Granted, yeah, it receives no strategic benefit from using that over, say, U-Turn, but still, you would think that the thing with claws and a hefty dose of Attack would learn Shadow Claw, especially if it learns things like Night Slash. Yet nope, it does not.
Same thing could be said with politoed and Jump Kick (which actually kinda would make sense as a counter for magnezone) and literally anything on that list with Tackle, but honestly, the scizor example makes the most sense imo.
Also, not to parrot Reddit, but gengar and Nasty Plot. Let’s be real.
Not sure if any of this helped, but good luck either way!}
{True story: I thought a bunch of people just started headcanon blogs, just because, for reasons unrelated to this one. 😂 Thank you!
On a more serious note, I try to follow the #pokemon-headcanons tag as much as I can because as far as I know, that’s the best way to find blogs, so if you post there, there’s a good chance I’ll come across you. But I sometimes fall behind tag following a lot, and in any case, we all know how Tumblr’s tag search is, so there’re a lot of blogs I just don’t know about. Yet, anyway.
Or to answer your question properly: yes! But if I haven’t found yours yet, send a signed-in ask or let me know where to find you in general, and I’ll be sure to stop by. And on another note, if you ever see @theelectricfactory pop up in your followers, that’s the main, and that means I’m really interested in what you’ve got going on.
(This may or may not also be a thinly veiled request for people to send me their headcanon blogs because aww yeeeeesssss headcanons.)}
