Real talk, though, because it needs to be said: as much as we all joke that porn was the only good thing this place had left, the reality is that it being the only place where one could regularly engage with and promote sexual content being gone is really not understanding at all what makes this place special. I mean we all joke about “horny on main” and all that, but the reality is that for a lot of the LGTBQ+ community, particularly younger members still discovering themselves and members in extremely homophobic environments where most media sites were banned (but Tumblr wasn’t even considered important enough to be), this was a bastion of information and self-expression. For a lot of artists too, this was a great place to come and post NSFW work and get traction that became Patreon pages that became honest jobs.
The problem with “family friendly” social media is that more often than not, the ones hit the most by the whole family friendly nonsense are marginalized groups that have no vehicles to express themselves. Stuff like YouTube consistently bans or flags simple content featuring something as innocuous as two men kissing as “adult” content and makes it hard for LGBTQ+ content creators to compete with their non-queer peers for a lot of those reasons.
The ultimate problem isn’t even that banning of NSFW content, it’s the general mess surrounding it and unintended consequences to these groups. For MONTHS Tumblr has had a huge problem with porn spam bots and outright child pornography, and for MONTHS the majority of the userbase has been in general consensus that both of these things needed to stop. Tumblr did NOTHING. Absolutely nothing. When Apple finally removed their app from the store, SPECIFICALLY because of the child pornography, Tumblr decided to do what any rich corporation owning a social media site with zero understanding of what makes it popular would do, and decided that the best course of action was to eat itself like an Ouroboros. Rather than admit that they have done an absolutely shit job at keeping pedophiles off this website and rather than hiring the necessary staff to carefully moderate content, they decided to loose a poorly programmed bot that literally deleted perfectly SFW blogs with thousands of followers, and rather than properly handling moderation, they decided that it was best to simply go the lazy route and block anything even remotely NSFW.
They run this site in the worst way possible, and I don’t understand how @support or @staff or their completely oblivious “CEO” plans to keep this sinking ship alive.

James turns to Elsa and nods in response before focusing on the road. “New York is a very busy city. Millions of people live here and all from different parts of the world. All of different religion and speak different languages. A good place to live and where people feel if they make it here they can make it anywhere.”
Elsa sighs in relief at holding the girl. Lifting her up and pressing her head into her shirt. “Hey, it’s okay I have you….you’re okay…” she speaks soothingly. She notices her ice beginning to melt from her lack of focus. She curses in her head. She thinks for a moment the heat finally hitting her. She swirls a finger remembering her solution to saving Olaf.
A small cloud appears above them. Snow falling to chill the close proximity air. She spends a hand out carefully and ices a path out of the room and apartment. She hits the stairs and starts carefully and as quickly as possible maneuvering down. “Keep your eyes closed and hold tight…..okay? I’ve got you” she says a maternal tone seemed so natural to the tongue.
The girl does as she is told and holds on to the stranger. Unaware what she did as she feels it being cold despite looking around to see there is still flames around. She then noticed the snow and is surprised to find a cloud over them. She then wonders if this woman is an Avenger or maybe one of the Champions or maybe a Defender?
In any case they needed to get out as more flames begin emerging. Even behind where the girl was hiding at.
Elsa starts icing the ground and filling holes in the floor to quickly go down the levels. But as she’s doing so the fires are still rising and Elsa’s body is weakening from the excess power and heat and losing her focus on the floor while making sure the girl can breath. As they scale to the main first floor finally and painfully for Elsa she leans against the wall still clinging to the girl. Protecting her. She stumbles and barely dodged a falling piece of cieling. She lowers to her knees and puts the girl down realizing her focus is to get her out but she can’t hold her and herself up and focus on her powers.
She looks into the girl’s eyes. “I’m going to make a path and you’re going to walk on it okay? Follow the path I’ll be right by you” she says. She holds her hand and is able to concentrate on her Powers creating a solid path of ice. This ice much stronger more solid, like her normal level of ice. Holding the girls hand Elsa stands.
The little girl watched as the older woman appeared to be hurting. Could it be the fire was getting to her? Even the cloud didn’t seem enough to keep her safe. The flames were also getting to the girl as she couldn’t react to when she saw her use her powers to make a path.
At first she didn’t want to go, but when she reassured her she would be with her she began to walk on the ice. Following the path while holding the hand of the woman. The fire couldn’t melt the ice away which gave the two a chance to escape. Until one of the beams above the exit began to crack and it would soon fall on them.
Elsa heard the cracking and looked up to see the beam. She picked up the girl and slid on the ice to get some power. She shot pikes of ice to hold up the beam High enough and long enough to toss the girl through. She looked at the girl, “you’re going to be okay. I promise. Now close your eyes.” She says.
And uses a slide of ice to get the girl out. As the girl slips passed the beam the ice shatters and the pops of fire and the thud shakes the floor enough to cause Elsa to fall back. She coughs and tries to baracade the fire off with ice. But she’d already been struggling to breath. Struggling to concentrate. And the ice shield begins to melt as she slowly looses consciousness. Laying on the floor. Her face hot and her ice shield, the remnants of it at least, were evaporating quickly.
Just as the beam came down to crush Elsa James came in and stops the beam from crushing her. He ended up taking the full force of the beam, but he was able to handle the hit. He looks down to see Elsa is getting harmed from the flames. He picks her up bridal style and sees a nearby window, which has some flames around it.
He knew he needed to risk it and puts his jacket over Elsa to shield her from the flames. He begins running to the window and used his body to batter through the window. He continued to run as the air flew into the hole and caused an explosion. He shields Elsa and sets her down on the cold floor.
However he noticed her eyes was closed and feared the worse. He sets moves down and begins giving her CPR. Mouth to mouth, then pressed his hands on her chest, and then once more mouth to mouth.
BLACK…..all around……
“Wait” Elsa thinks as she feels something against her lips. She suddenly takes in air into her lungs eyes still closed. Her hand reached out but weakly fell to her side.
Everything suddenly flashed back to her and her eyes open and she finds James lips pressed to hers. She suddenly coughs and painfuly turns over onto her side. Some black soot she coughed up. She felt weak and things were hazy. She finished coughing and turned back onto her back. She looks up and smiles weakly up at James, “you really have to stop saving me so much” she choked. Though it was probably do to the fuzziness she was still feeling in her head.
