Tumblr is apparently doing some crazy nonsense again, so it seems like a good time to remind everyone that Pillowfort.io is a new social media platform that aims to give users control of their content and how it’s seen and shared, as well as provide better communication tools to promote conversation and creativity. If this sounds good to you, you can donate $5 to our PayPal and you will receive a registration link the Friday after your donation. And if you decide the site isn’t for you, you can request a refund for up to three weeks after you sign up. (All money we receive through this process is going towards paying our hosting expenses and compensating our programmers.)
Reblogging this in light of the recent news, since we’ve been getting a lot of questions from people looking to join. If you’ve sent us a payment since the 16th of November you will receive your invitation email shortly after the site returns, which will likely be tomorrow! If you want to purchase more than one registration link ($5 per link, so $15 for example would get you 3 registration links) you can give them to anyone you want– the ones you purchase are not tied to your account in any way.
Now, Pillowfort will not always require a payment to sign up; we are doing this because we are still in the process of implementing our subscription plan, which will be our source of long-term revenue, and these payments through PayPal give us funding to make sure we can pay all our server expenses, employee compensation, etc. while we are still working on implementing our business plan. Once we exit beta you will be able to join the site and use all of its essential features
for free, with the option to pay for some extra goodies similar to what LiveJournal and DreamWidth offer in their subscription plans.
Okay, folks. So. Tumblr’s jumped the shark in a big way, and I’m not even just talking about indiscriminately blocking all “adult” content on a platform that IS, in fact, primarily 18+.
Many blogs, like the wonderful @blackkatmagic , that are not especially NSFW have vanished.
(And I for one LIKE being able to go to curated porn blogs run by actual people and have a chance of finding stuff to my taste, it was one of the things that kept me on this hellsite, but that’s another issue entirely.)
I know lots of people are talking about migrating, but none of us are sure to where yet. Pillowfort seems to be an option, some people are talking about Twitter. But for now, it’s a mess, and even if we knew where we were going, it’s often a huge process, and a lot of us have stuff on tumblr that ONLY exists there.
One possible quick solution to save your blogs, both NSFW and personal, is to import it to WordPress. I found this solution through from frantic googling on how to save an entire blog, text posts an all. There are several apps for downloading all the pictures from a tumblr, (Plently for Windows, but only a few paid ones for mac, of which Tumbelog Picture Downloader is working for me so far) but this is the only solution I’ve seen so far that allows you to save EVERYTHING. I downloaded my NSFW blog in like 10 min. My regular blog, which is significantly larger, is in the process of importing, but I don’t anticipate any problems. I will, of course, update you if I have any.
This tutorial I found worked really easily. http://quickguide (.) tumblr (.) com/post/39780378703/backing-up-your-tumblr-blog-to-wordpress
I put parenthesis around the .’s like we’re back in FF-Hell, just in case tumblr’s new thing about outgoing links kicks in. You know what to do.
To break it down, just in case:
Sign up for a WordPress.com account at wordpress (.) com/start
You’ll have to create an account, with your email, a username, and a password. They should send you a confirmation email immediately, check it, activate it, and you’re good to go.
On the site, it will ask you for a site name. That page asks you a bunch of other information too, but you only have to fill out the site name.
Then you have to give your site a URL. If you’re lucky, your tumblr URL is still available, if not you’ll have to come up with another one, sorry.
It will tell you if that option is still available for free.
Then it will ask you to pick a plan. Free is really good enough, I swear.
Now you’re set up! You can import your tumblr!
The only differences from the linked tutorial are that the Import button is now on the first level menu, not in tools.
Hit Import, then you have to follow the link for “other importers” at the bottom, to find the option for Tumblr.
Then you’ll have to sign in with tumblr, using your normal tumblr credentials. You’ll be redirected there automatically.
You’ll have to allow WordPress permissions on your blog.
Then your blogs, including all your sideblogs, will show up in wordpress.
Hit import, wait a WHILE depending on the size of your blog, and you’re done!
ALSO!!
I made my NSFW blog private for now, since I don’t know WP’s policy on NSFW.
This means that to access it, someone has to have an account and request access. But hey, part of our problem on this hellsite has been people going places they aren’t wanted, so I don’t personally see this as a bad thing. They can send a request from the landing site on your blog, you get an email, click a link in the email, and PRESTO, they have access.
To make it private, go to Settings > Reading > Site Visibility. Go back and check, it took me changing the setting twice for it to actually stick.
tl;dr, you can import your entire blog to wordpress in just a few steps.
I’m going to tag the hell out of this, in no particular order. PLEASE reblog this and spread the word so people know it’s an option. If you’re having trouble, PM me, and I’m happy to help.
WHILE FANDOMS FIGURE OUT WHERE THEY’RE GOING NEXT, LET’S START A FOLLOW FANNIBAL THREAD FOR THOSE MIGRATING TO TWITTER/INSTA/ETC.!!!!! JUST SO WE CAN ALL STAY TOGETHER AS THINGS EVOLVE!
Hello there! Just wondering if anyone here has any Hannibal-inspired ink. I do and the people around me don’t really get it. I’d really love to see other people’s designs and be able talk about them with someone who understands. If you are too, then, hello! ✋🏽😊🍷
To you and everyone who says they do: pics or it DIDN’T HAPPEN LEMME SEE THAT INKKK
Yes, please, show us. 100 % guarantee we’ll understand 😉
Here’s mine. I told a brother of mine (who hasn’t watched it yet) that I branded myself Hannibal’s name because I am utterly taken by him and that no man can claim me. He said I was insane. I didn’t expect him to understand, but I am in love with it and I am hoping to get a full Ravenstag soon.

LET’S MAKE IT A FABULOUS, FANNIBAL, FRIDAY AND WISH HIM TONS OF LOVE WITH THE TAG #HAPPYBIRTHDAYBRYANFULLER AND OF COURSE MAKE SURE TO TAG HIM IN @BRYANFULLER!!!!
I know the Hannibal fandom is dead but look me in the eyes and try to tell me that every single character wouldn’t go hard as hell at this year’s Met Gala.
The theme being Heavenly Bodies??? Hannibal would go HARD. Will would follow suit. Mason would show up in some ridiculously shiny and lewd shit. Alana and Margot would have complementary outfits. Don’t even get me started on Chilton.
we’re dead!?
We’re not!
I think this is becoming a meme. Is there someone going around with multiple accounts just posting a “Hannibal fandom is dead” daily?
Imagine it in season 4.
Hannibal creating anon accounts to convince the social media they are dead, Will muttering angrily at each one, because, come on, they’re a legendary serial killer and an equally legendary FBI agent, how can’t they survive??
Then he discovers he was Hannibal all along and is incredibly touched by Hannibal putting their life together above his reputation.
Still, Will starts another Anon campaign to counteract the rumors.
Why’s everyone keep saying we’re dead??
Sometimes I can still hear our voices…
Hey guys! Just found out we’re dead.
Hannibal fandom be like
I have reassembled myself from grave dust just to point out that look how hard Freddie Lounds goes to dress up just for a COURT APPEARANCE, she would have a GREAT time dressing up for a formal theme gala situation.
I rose from the grave to humbly request someone with arting skills to please put Hannibal in Rhianna’s pope outfit
Never let it be said that I don’t give everything to this fandom…
Greatest fandom, hands down, no fooling. How could we possibly die with such genius in our ranks?
"Technically, you killed him."
