I'm rather new to tumblr, and pretty much only know AO3 as a writer and reader, so I was curious about the etiquette if I were to read fic on here.

Specifically, I'm wondering about comments vs reblogs.

Is it uh... discouraging if someone comments but doesn't reblog? Say, if they enjoyed the work and express that in a comment, but didn't like it enough to put it on their own blog (for either others to find it or so they themselves can find it again)(and without explicitly stating that to the writer, of course).

Can a comment be as good as a reblog? Nevermind how odd that sounds xD I'm assuming some comments have splendidly trumped many a reblog before, but given the inherent audience expansion of reblogs, I'm not so sure how to weigh them. Or if the idea of that even makes any sense.

I think what I may be asking is if I comment but don't reblog, is that comment more likely to be encouraging, or discouraging in that I didn't reblog?

It continues to break my heart that people continue to go through masterlists and "read" fic upon fic and not say a word. Not even consider a reblog of it, just pass by with a simple like.

What makes the blow even worse is getting a new follower, and checking their blog (mainly to verify they're not a bot or minor) and see that they DO in fact, reblog other fics from other writers, just not the numerous ones they've gone through of yours.

And then what really rubs salt in the wound is when they're fics from the most niche fandom, for a character hardly anyone knows/cares about, and they still have nothing to say about it. I just know if it were me finding an author who dedicated hours to creating a whole life for my beloved character outside of the one small piece of media we were given, I'd be singing their praises from the rooftops and thanking them, and most definitely doing my best to strike up a conversation because how amazing is it to find someone else who loves that one unpopular thing as much as you?

More and more incredibly talented writers and artists are leaving this platform because of issues like this and it's honestly no longer surprising. Engagement and interaction are so tragically low and only getting worse, and it's discouraging people from wanting to continue sharing the things they love because fandom was, and should be, about the community that surrounds it.

Please, for the love of fandom and all the things you love, engage in some way other than likes.

Hi! I love your art! And the animatic you did!!!

I was wondering how would the suitors (I only know how to write Antinous name 😭) react to wake up in bed with servant (or Telemachus if you want) who take care about them… Like the suitors drinked to much and maybe the servant (or Telemachus) tuck them in bed but feel asleep too

If its a servant those entitled bastards will just assume its how they deserved to be treated as noble men. Only amphin will be like "oh sorry for the trouble" because he is polite.

Now the suitors with telemachus in that scenario:

Antinous🦁: what are you doing here brat ? You wish to kill me in my sleep ? GET OUT.

Eurymachus🐍: *acts all kind and tries to get out of the situation cause he highly suspects tele tried to kill him in his sleep*

Amphinomus🐻 after kindly asking what he's doing here and patting his hair: oh ! You didn't have to... thank you. I can manage myself...

Melanthius🐀 with a servant : who paid you ? =_='

Melanthius 🐀 with telemachus : did you loose a bet ? =_='

The switch up from her company being intimidating, to downright rude, was one that Ingrid hadn't been expecting. Ingrid had always led with kindness; she didn't understand what there was to gain by being unkind to others, particularly those who had done nothing to prompt it. Ingrid's intimidation melted away instantly, upon being referred to as 'not the sharpest of tools in the shed'. She mightn't have known every detail about every thing, but at least she was a good person who didn't have to resort to putting others down. "Not nervous," she told her, shaking her head, pursing her lips in distaste. "I am, however, done with the conversation." Ingrid wasn't interested in wasting her time on people who had nothing but negativity and cruelty to give.

The witch couldn't help but glare at the other, having wild eyes that she wasn't entirely aware of. Afterall, it had been a while since she'd actually been stuck around people on a long term basis. The woman tilted her head slowly as Ingrid spoke. "It does..." she began until her nose then wrinkled at the others admission of not knowing much about crystals or the third eye. The witch's wild eyes left the other and she lowly growled, feeling like she was stuck with fools and it made her only rest her forehead against the glass. "I should have expected that answer, I am certainly not among the sharpest of tools in this town..." She stated simply, her gaze scanning over the crystals as she desperately searched for a pull to one in particular, hoping that her divination would at least point her in a way forward. The witch showed a clear frustration before she turned back to the other other, sensing how the other was intimidated. "You almost seem nervous?"

If I don’t mind? You’re too polite, Kiku. You’re already doing more than enough by hosting me, now you’re offering to prepare me a meal? In that case, allow me to cook something for you as well. It’s the least I can do.

I heard of place filled with deer. I believe it was called Nara Park..

While many complain about the cold, I see it as the perfect excuse to get lost in my crafting. What could be more perfect than sitting beside a fireplace as the chill rages on, working on my newest project?

"The prosecution would like to call their next witness for the events of November 19th regarding the alleged kidnapping and murder of Eijiro Otoishi," the mood in the court room had only been declining as the "proper" murder charges had been dragged out, as tapes had been shown.

Izzy took in a deep breathe as she was called. Maybe she should have just given a statement instead of going up like this. This was her first time in court and it made her uneasy.
