to those of you who are moving here from tiktok, from someone whos used both tiktok and tumbr for years...

1. DO NOT censor your posts

dont censor sex, abuse, suicide, dont censor it. we dont have censors like tiktok does, you wont be banned for talking about these things and tagging them properly helps people avoid them (also, we dont have shadowbanning here)

2. we dont really have an algorithm

you follow who you follow, and you see posts from who you follow or what you search. the 'for you page' is basically useless here. this also brings me to my next two points

3. dont crosstag

we get it, on tiktok you have to crosstag for reach, but thats not really a thing here. just tag your posts properly (also posters often leave more info about the post in the tags!! and when you reblog stuff you can leave your own notes in the tags, kind of like the old "repost comments" on tiktok)

4. dont expect to go viral/be famous

"viral" isnt really a thing on here (at least not for the average blogger). your posts will probably get 2-10 likes and you wont get nearly as many followers than on tiktok. thats just how tumblr is

5. blocking is your best friend

tiktok is VERY discussion based, and while tumblr is much more discussion based than other social medias, its still not a good place for ragebait/discourse. dont interact, itll make your experience worse in the end, just block and move on

6. you cant go into someone elses house and start rearranging their furniture

this is tumblr, not tiktok. dont diss old tumblr users for how they use the site or try to change them, thats like going into someone elses house and trying to rearrange their furniture. we've been here longer and we're familiar with the site and its culture, either find your niche, adapt, or find a different app

I haven’t been on Tumblr in a while!! But I just saw you tagged me in this story!! I’m really looking forward to reading it!

But wanted to say Baby Fever is very real, and quite annoying (at this time in my life because I absolutely do not need to be responsible for another human being that literally requires everything from me) but ummm baby fever is a very good writing motivator at times!

And I love the idea of choose your own ending/ adventure for a fic! That way you as the writer can explore multiple way it could end! (Is that why those kind of stories are written is it actually more for the writer than it is for the reader?)

So the end of The Sacre was kinda open ended. I am leaning one way, but I'm curious if anyone else has stupid baby fever like I do

I might make it a lil side series, keep the regular shenanigans with the show time line.

I mean look at how cute this is!

Can we talk about the dynamic between Noah Wyle's characters and Christian Kane's characters?

The Librarians: CK is one of Noah's three nerd kids

Leverage Redemption: Noah is CK's new lawyer nerd friend who needs constant supervision

Monroe, on the phone: how did Renard die?

Trubel: cats ate his face.

Monroe: no, Renard, how did he die?

Trubel: cats ate his face.

Monroe: g— just give me to Nick.

Nick: hello?

Monroe: how did Renard die?

Nick: cats ate his face, here, trubel knows more about it than me.

If you guys are like me, and you struggle a little with describing locations, can I suggest…

as a lifesaver.

I don’t agree with Booth but like yeah it was definitely a strong move

You gotta give it to the Bones writers, it takes ovaries of steel to have the patriotic military man from your 2000s-era Fox procedural say that if he'd been around during the American Revolution he would have arrested the Founding Fathers for terrorism

Castle, Bones, and the Mentalist are all the same show in different fonts and I love it

[kimberkingrivers]

This is the best take I’ve seen on this trend!!

finally some quality reddit content

Booth x Brennan is not your standard slow burn romance. By season two they’re like “yes we would die for each other. What of it. We do have communication issues though so we gotta work on that” and then the next ten seasons is mostly the two of them torturing anyone who attempts to help them work on those communication issues.

One of my favorite things in Bones is how annoyed Bones gets when she reaches the crime scene and finds out that there's still flesh on the body

"I was promised a skeleton, this is a meat corpse, my whole thing is skeletons. why did you skeleton-bait me?"

[kimberkingrivers]

Random things I love about the show Bones:

- all the times they take stuff from the museum to use in the investigation ("I got this from the x exhibit")

- Brennan following some birds, bugs etc and finding a body ("Booth, you might want to see this")

- "Bones, stay behind me!" Brennan immediately wanders off

- the banter between Booth and Caroline Julian

- how well TJ Thyne plays exhausted Hodgins

- how immaculate Cam's outfits are (and how they are ruined by Hodgins and co's experiments)

- the guitar riffs that play every time Angela's dad is on screen

Is your ship really that iconic if one of them haven't been buried alive and the other haven't tried to dig them out with their bare hands?

why you should keep writing your story

because it’s a puzzle no one else will ever arrange the same way as you.

because there are ideas that simply won’t come to you until you write down the wrong words.

because all the bad scenes are the bones of the wonderful scenes.

because someone will love it: someone will read it once, and twice, and thrice; someone will ramble to you about the complexity of it; someone will doodle your characters out of love; someone will find it in exactly what they were looking for with or without knowing it.

because they have things to say, your characters. they’ve told you all those secrets and they have more to tell you, if you will listen.

because you love it even when you don’t; even when it drives you mad or when it accidentally turns into apathy; even when you think you’re doing it all wrong; you love it, and it loves you back.

because you can get a treasure even from things that go wrong; because if a story crumbles down you can build a shinier one on the same spot; because you won’t know where it will take you until it takes you there.

please please please please reblog if you’re a writer and have at some point felt like your writing is getting worse. I need to know if I’m the only one who’s struggling with these thoughts
