#( i'm going to end up being the blog that reblogs pictures and makes aesthetics for verses i never reply to. )

[originalartblog]

While I have some of your attention, this is a heads up for the new users following me: bots are being a big nuisance once again and I'm going to be blocking the blogs with no avatar + no title.

Bots are known for staying low profile and building a "reputable" blog by liking posts and following blogs, and then start posting scams and other vicious links later.

If you do not build a profile for yourself you are indistinguishable from this:

I'm glad you're enjoying my things and I don't want to lock you out but PLEASE make yourself look like a person or you will end in the same bag as bots and end up blocked.

And by the way, your blog is a scrapbook of things you enjoy, that's what the reblog button is for! Find some aesthetic pictures or fandom posts or whatever and build yourself a little space, it's so much fun I promise

EDIT: If you were a real person that I blocked and would like to be unblocked, you can shoot me a message on my main blog

I’m parched and need daddy Rafael content as we were let down do you know of any as you don’t write it

tbh nonnie, i would normally delete something like this but you've caught me in a super bad mood so you're getting a bitchy response because i'm honestly sick of shit like this in the inbox and i'm sure i'm not the only one.

is the search bar really that hard to use?

bonus points you can head over to a03 and use it over there and even filter it to specifically include the daddy kink.

secondly: i never said i didn't write daddy rafael, whether that means daddy kink or dad rafa (but i'm assuming you're looking for daddy kink). i said i don't write big age gaps, specifically with rafa anything under like, 30 is ick. 28 is pushing it.

how are we being let down? because i don't write it? because there's not enough rafael content?(i am willing to bet that for svu he's the most popular x reader character) because people can't be bothered to go back and read stories that they might have read before?

if you really want specific type of content, or specific stories from specific people i'll give ya some tips:

-reblog fics, comment on them

-if you don't want to do it on your main blog for whatever reason create a side blog to reblog stuff, make it just for fandom, no one needs to know your name or anything, (just put your age in the bio!)

-send in requests! chat them up, compliment their writing if you like it. when you see them reblogging a prompt list, look through it and send a couple in that fit to what you're looking for.

-interact with writers, in the dm's, in the inbox, toss around ideas, headcanons, spitball out things that spark ideas. i've got mutuals who we'll send aesthetic style gifs or pictures to each other with the caption of simply a characters name and that leads into headcanon-ing stuff that leads to fics.

-tip your writers

we do this shit for free, in our free time, on top of our full time lives, whether that means work, taking care of kids, or whatever, we have shit to do that's more important than catering to anonymous strangers fanfic needs.

imma stop there otherwise i'm gonna end up on a mega rant. but yeah...

Meeting the parents - corpse husband

I'm a sucker for like "meet the parents/family" fics, so could you do one where you've been dating corpse for a while and your parents still don't know him, all they've seen is the pics you've posted on you private Instagram which never includes his face, they just see his dark aesthetic which makes them a little hesitant. Then when you bring Corpse to meet them, they put that together with his voice and him being kinda closed off due to being nervous and stuff and so they prejudge him a little. But it all ends fine, they realize that he's actually really sweet and they end up loving him.

Genre: fluff, angst but not really

Warning: shy corpse

Pairing: corpse husband x reader

Blog appropriate for all ages

Please don't post any of my content anywhere else without my permission.

Comment and reblogs welcome!

"Are you ready?" You asked corpse as you walked up the steps to the front door to your parents house.

Corpse sighed, "yeah, I guess." you can tell corpse was nervous and you didn't blame him. Corpse was shy, barley interacted with people, something you understood. You didn't want to do this but your parents were dying to meet him after seeing faceless pictures of him on your instagram. Now here you were.

"it's going to be okay babe, just take deep breaths." You said before knocking on the door.

Your mother answered a few seconds later. She squealed, wrapping her arms around you. "My baby, you're here." She placed a kiss on your cheek before pulling away. She turned to corpse giving him a soft smile. "And you must be corpse. It's nice to meet you honey."

She gave him a hug causing corpse to give off a shy laugh. She pulled away, sighing. "Alright you two come in. Let's meet your father."

You and corpse followed your mom into the kitchen where your dad was sneaking food. Your mom smacked his hand away. "Honey meet corpse, corpse meet y/l/n."

Your dad stuck out his hand, pressing his lips into a thin line. He wasn't sure what to think of corpse who was dressed in all black. "Nice to me you son."

Corpse shook his hand. "It's nice to meet you as well."

Your dad sighed, "well, shall we eat?" You smiled, "yes." You responded. Your mom Walked past you to the table. "Well let's eat."

You turned to corpse giving him a grin. He smiled shyly and followed you to the table.

---

You, corpse and your family ate dinner together. Small conversation was made and corpse was slowly and slowly slipping out of his nervousness.

After dinner, you all settled on the couch to talk. Your dad was the first to talk, and it was to Corpse.

"I gotta be honest with you, at first I thought you weren't going to be that great but after spending some time with you, you're very calm and down to earth. I can tell y/n really love you as well."

You turned to corpse seeing him smiling softly. "Yeah, I really love her as well. She's beautiful and smart. She's really amazing."

Corpse turned to you, smiling. Of course you caught onto Corpse saying he loves you, which was the first time. You couldn't wait to tell him the same later. Meeting the parents went perfectly

[davekat-sucks]

How do you feel about Erifef? As someone who hasn’t completed homestuck yet (a bit over half way though). I personally like it more than Davekat

Or at least what Davekat comes to be in canon, as many people have said, it would be way better if they didn’t go with that.

(I get that I’m rambling but I’m also disappointed, because when I heard that it was canon I thought that it was going to be a black romance)

It definitely could have worked out as a black romance. This one panel here had people theorized that maybe kismesis could have happened if Eridan and Feferi got proper development. It would play up some irony that the fish prince wanting a hate romance, was in the moirail that he had deep red feelings for. Though maybe because of the above and how it all plays out in Act 5, it was intentional for Eridan to not have that.

Aesthetic for Eridan and Feferi being the only sea dwellers is nice, but it is hard for me to picture a full on red rom based on their personalities. Maybe it could work if it means both parties would grow to realize their faults and improve themselves. From Feferi to actually taking action and Eridan not being a totally prick. Doomed timelines show it could work. Though I'm not sure if there has been a decently good EriFef that kept them in character while also making them grow as people. A bit of reluctance on my end and my bias dislike of the pairing in the red and pale. I would like to see some antagonize between them. Eridan's blunt talk versus Feferi being either passive aggressive or perky fish slowly losing patience to really lose it. A lot I have said about Eridan on this blog or through reblogs, show that it is obvious that he is one of my favorites. He gets similar love hate reactions that one could see with Vriska or Gamzee. That's what makes him quite a popular troll for debates. Sadly, the spotlight isn't bright for Feferi. It all points down to what if Andrew Hussie goes past hating her typing quirk to give her the bigger role she had been hinted. From visiting Jade's dream after dying, creating the Dream Bubbles, and being the next in line for the throne. It sucks that Meenah was created for this. It is possible to have Feferi become that kind of badass bitch while still keeping her genki girl personality. She is shown to be just as ruthless like other trolls, as shown with her talk with Vriska in Alterniabound. If her ruling in the Beforus timeline shows how her reign does cause harm on the Beforian trolls, why not dive deep into her present self to put through the situation where she just can't sit around anymore. Not after what happened with Sgrub session and her ex-moirail went crazy that he had killed her. EriFef and Davekat would work better in black. Based on the personalities that would clash another that would be rivalry. But not in deep red. Maybe moirails for Davekat, but hey, platonic love is only for Equius and Nepeta these. Everything else is about love and sex in the Homestuck fandom.

Hi! A few weeks ago, in an answer, you made reference to Volker Bruch's role in Unsere Mütter, Unsere Väter. I've never seen it and had been wanting to (although I'm arguably less motivated now that Volker Bruch has been so ... ugh lately), but would you mind expanding upon what you meant? This whole situation is so disappointing and frustrating (but I say this as someone who only discovered BB/VB in December of last year)!

Oh boy, where to begin! The issues with Unsere Mütter, unsere Väter are so layered. I guess I'll break it down into: (1) Issues with the miniseries itself, and (2) issues with the reception of it.

1) So as to the first point, it's been a long time since I saw and I don't want to be too negative about it. It's well-made and some parts of it are better than others. I remember that I didn't think the writing was great (that's true for many German productions where the scripts tend to be the weak link), like it relied too much on coincidental meetings of characters in unlikely scenarios and so on. But okay, whatever. The actual issue with the miniseries arises from the way in which it was titled and marketed ("our mothers, our fathers" – of course Generation War sounds a bit more oblique in English and obfuscates that the people behind the miniseries wanted to do something that was supposedly representative of what "our" immediate ancestors went through during the war). From a historian's POV, the group of young people that they chose to focus on was really not in any way, shape or form representative of most young German people at the time and you can't blame the Polish for being pissed about the representation they got (which painted the Polish partisans as antisemitic and the issue with that wasn't that antisemitism didn't exist among Polish partisans but rather that the way the miniseries emphasizes their antisemitism while being way too revisionist about the German protagonists in that regard is just not a good look). A history professor put everything into words that I was thinking back then, it's in German but you can put it through DeepL and I highly recommend the read, regardless of how you feel about the miniseries: https://taz.de/Unsere-Muetter-unsere-Vaeter/!5070893/ ("Nazis are always the others" – yes there are some evil German Nazis of course, the cliché ones, the commanding officers, the Gestapo guy and so on but we are not invited to identify with them, we are not invited to consider them part of our ancestry and we are also not invited to consider that most Germans at the time were not victims of circumstance but active participants in the system, unless we're talking about resistance groups which were obviously the exception and not what the miniseries posits as the core 'generation' – one who, we might add, would've been exactly the one to have gone through the whole youth indoctrination unlike older people at the time). So yeah there's a lot to unpack there in terms of how German remembrance culture works and I'll leave it at that, it's a huge topic that would need its own essay. The miniseries is 'fine' TV but it has a certain role in cultural memory production that is, at the very least, questionable and should be considered with some critical distance from its qualities as a drama.

2) There's another issue though and that's more what I was referring to. Basically Volker Bruch playing a Wehrmacht soldier in that miniseries gained him quite a following of wehraboos and in some cases straight up Neonazis. For the longest time, whenever you were searching for posts about him here on Tumblr, they came from accounts that... man, how do I say this. Okay first of all wehraboos are Wehrmacht stans and I came across a big number of them in this context (and in the context of Volker Bruch fandom specifically) where their tumblrs were all about the aesthetic~ of German Wehrmacht soldiers and I just... to say that I found these blogs disturbing is putting it mildly. Often these were run by young women from countries like the Netherlands, Italy or wherever else in the world and my only explanation for this phenomenon is that they grew up with a very stereotypical view of Germans during WWII = evil, so when they discovered that some of them were young (sometimes handsome) men who were also just regular guys, they took this to mean that everyone had been terribly mistaken to lump in 'regular' soldiers with the SS and so they ran in the other direction. I mean, obviously there are distinctions to be made. But the Wehrmacht was also heavily involved in war crimes, so. All that teenage fawning over black and white pictures of real people who may have been involved in real atrocities... well. But that was still comparatively mild. When I first made Babylon Berlin gifs (before it was shown in the US on Netflix, before I made this sideblog, before there was a sizeable interest in these gifs aside from Volker Bruch stans), the accounts that reblogged them... I mean, there were actual Neonazi accounts among those. One I will never forget. Back then I still looked at reblogs to see if people had some commentary in the tags and so I opened this one blog and it was dedicated to Reinhard Heydrich, the "Butcher of Prague". On the front page, there were reblogs of Hitler gifs. Hitler greeting some kids, people doing the Nazi salute. The rest I've blocked from my memory. I had accidentally stumbled across a corner of Tumblr that was entirely sinister. I felt so sick. I ended up blocking and reporting it but this hellsite never gave me a reply so who even knows if anything happened.

So long story short: Ever since then I've resented the fact that Volker Bruch being in Unsere Mütter, unsere Väter gained him Neonazi followers (also tells you something about the miniseries, doesn't it) and I also resented that me just wanting to make Babylon Berlin gifs meant I had to see this stuff. So I stopped making any BB gifs (or at least any containing him) for a while and it's also the reason I never made many gifs of Gereon unless requested. I don't want to say that I feel vindicated after finding out that Volker Bruch is a complete idiot because I never paid much attention to him personally but I was also never his biggest fan, I find his acting range limited, he has a certain vibe and look that goes well with certain period dramas (actually only 20th century ones because he looked rough in the Goethe movie... I actually much prefer Alexander Fehling as an actor but that's neither here nor there). Anyway, there you go.

[amongthcwreck-a]

Is you hiatus indefinite as in you might not be back or as in you don't know when you'll be back.

 well, it’s more like I’ll be around on here and maybe or maybe not? my messenger things ( discord/kik/skype ). like basically it’s not really a hiatus. more like I’ll be spotty. and replies might or might not come out.

I've got a question regarding having a chubby body type? I bought a few shirts recently that are kind of cropped a bit, not a whole lot because I'm not that confident yet but I don't really feel good in them like I hoped? Im not sure if maybe its me I don't like or if it's the designs of the shirts maybe, do you know any blogs that might have advice for wearing clothes but having chubby tummy's? And donyou have any advice too maybe?

Okay before I get into it, I follow some cool plus sized blogs and perhaps they could better answer chubby tum questions @plussizeneverlookedsogood @plussizelooks . Alright to start, I resonate tf with this question!!! When I bought my first crop top I was so unhappy with how it looked. Also my body type is basically tiny waist, thick af love handles, no hips, a muffin top and c cup boobs. So I'm not the text book definition of chubby by any means but I got a funky shape. Below are me being dissatisfied with wearing low waist pants and a crop top. Technically I look good in the nope nope one when I'm standing up straight and the length of the crop top meets right where my boobs end but if the crop top is Longer like the white one (that was my first crop top lol) , it covers up my tiny waist and I feel like a big uggo bc the fabric is wrinkled and loose. Also if I sit down I'm a valley of rolls which aren't a bad thing, I'm just self conscious!! This is all about finding that look that makes you happy and this was not working for me.

So let's look at some other crop top aesthetics.

This over the shoulder crop top made me feel like my love handles were bursting out of my pants and doing my figure no favors, but when I put on high waist shorts I was like o hell yeah!! I feel cute!!

Similar situation with this tank top crop top but it's not quite there bc the fabric is so tight but my shorts were kinda loose.

Skirts and crop tops!!!! One of my favorite things. The tank top style crop top goes so well with a skirt. They're best friends and they make me feel good bc I can sit down in peace and the fabrics meet each other better. This is not true of every tank top crop top tho.

This one does just fine with my black denim shorts.

So we got some different styles of crop tops going on here and some feel better than others bc of the bottoms and one of them (the first crop top I ever got) still doesn't feel good. Some are stretchy and skin tight which I'm a fan of and some are machine cut. Let's get into home made crop tops and other styles in part two bc tumblr has a 10 picture post limit lol. I'm pretty sure I can just reblog this and add more.

O wise one, please bless me with your amazing advice like you have so many. I want to roleplay again, but I have so much other things I have to do and I know there will be times where I don't feel like replying, so I'm nervous to roleplay again because I'm scared of pressure, whether it's real or pressure I made up. I'm also really shy and I'm scared to ask anyone if they want to roleplay.

Well, Anon. As someone who also used to do roleplaying full time, I can tell you, roleplaying here on tumblr is a huge challenge and very stressful.  I quit because it was damaging my mental health. If you want to start roleplaying again then be my guest.  Here are few tips I’ve learned:

You don’t owe anyone an instant reply. You’re allowed to take breaks and to take your time.

Some good things to have is a detailed rules page and a password. If you put your password at the end of your rules page then you’ll know that whoever sent in the password has actually read your rules.

Don’t be afraid to put your foot down. If someone is making you uncomfortable then you tell them. If they continue then block them. It’s not worth it to roleplay with toxic people.

Be sure to inform your followers/partners when you’re on and offline. That way no one will be asking where you are.

Be sure to find the rules page for people you wish to interact with and follow those rules accordingly.

Don’t feel bad if the person you want to interact with isn’t interested. Just unfollow them and find someone else.

If a blog you want to interact with has no rules page then ask the mun about their limits.

A lot of blogs are semi-selective or highly selective and sadly there is a reason for this. The reason is usually because someone toxic had been taking advantage of the mun behind the blog. So don’t be discouraged if you see semi-selective in the blog description. It has nothing to do with you.

Be sure to have a detailed about page for your muse. Even if you’re roleplaying as a canon character. Everyone has a different interpretation. It’s important to make sure that people know what to expect.

If your muse is an OC I highly recommend having a picture of them available on your blog somewhere. It doesn’t have to be a good picture. Just a little something to provide a visual aid.

This is gonna sound blunt but I’m speaking from personal experience: If your muse is an OC then prepared to be rejected. A LOT.  Especially if your OC is female or female presenting. There’s a lot of nasty stigmas about OCs in the roleplay community. I can’t stress this enough: Please. Please. PLEASE. Don’t take it personally. There are blogs out there who love OCs. You just need to keep looking.

With that being said, the best way to get a blog to interact with you is to use those ask/send in a starter games to your advantage.

Most blogs love it when you send in these games. So it’ll be a great way to break the ice.

If you reblog one of those ask/starter games then be sure to send one to the blog you’ve reblogged it to. It gets very frustrating when you reblog ask games but get no asks.

Don’t get too invested in ships. Ships change like the fucking weather. One minute your muse and another person’s muse will be happily in love, the next minute someone sends in a Magic Anon that makes the other person’s muse hate yours. The other mun might like it better for their muse to suddenly hate yours without warning.

Be open to multishipping. It’s better for both you and your partner to be able to ship your muses with other blogs. Not just each others.

Not every muse is going to like yours. Again, this isn’t anything personal. Sometimes some muses just don’t mesh. This doesn’t mean that the mun hates you.

Sometimes the story won’t go as planned and that’s ok. Do not try to force the other mun into making the story go a certain way. 

On that note, don’t let anyone try to control your muse. If you feel like your partner is trying to control your muse, then have a talk with them. If they continue, block them. It’s not worth the headache.

If you’d like to remind someone it’s their turn, then that’s fine but please be patient! Try to send in a reminder once a week if your partner is forgetful Like me.

On that note, if someone is constantly pestering you for a reply, then don’t be afraid to put your foot down. Kindly ask them to be patient. If they continue to pester you, then block them and move on.

Please stick with a simplistic blog theme. I know it’s fun to be all aesthetic and what not but a lot of the time aesthetic blog themes are next to impossible to navigate! Especially if you’re trying to find the rules page.

If a blog judges you based on blog theme then just ignore them. They’re not worth your time.

Be sure to trim your posts or put them under a read more! Nothing is more frustrating then trying to scroll past a mile long thread.

Don’t use autoplay. If you want music on your blog that’s fine but please don’t make it play automatically. It can give someone quite a scare.

Please tag your gore and NSFW threads! Some folks don’t like seeing that.

Don’t be afraid to put your foot down on nasty Anons either. If someone is sending you stuff that makes you uncomfortable then tell them. If the gross asks continue then block them.

Don’t use emojis in your tags! It can make it very difficult to block NSFW and gore!

Don’t feel bad if you end up ghosted. Sometimes life can get in the way and some blogs can end up leaving you without warning. It’s nothing personal.

Don’t feel left out if you weren’t invited to an event. A lot of the popular blogs just happen to have a lot of irl friends that are rolplaying on here with them. So sometimes the event is just for that mun and their irl friends. It’s nothing against you.

Don’t let a roleplay blog ruin your favorite canon characters for you. If there’s a blog who plays one of your favorite canon characters in a way that makes you uncomfortable then ignore them and find one that works for you.

If a blog you interact with is posting content that makes you uncomfortable then unfollow them and move on. If they ask then kindly explain to them the situation.

Also don’t be afraid to unfollow people. Even if the mun tracks you down and confronts you. If the mun is toxic block them and move on. If the mun is a friend then kindly tell them what happened.

Try not to join groups or group discords. While they may seem fun on paper, it could lead to disaster if one member of the group turns out to be toxic. 

Most importantly, don’t compare yourself to other bloggers. You are an amazing person and your muse is wonderful! Be sure to remind yourself of this as often as you can

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any more questions!

the path

Feels like I just clicked on a fast-forward button to skipped the 2 years of my life since the last time I wrote in this blog. My English and vocabs might sounds worser than those past 2 years lol. But hey, I'm still me! It's meeee, I'm alive, still breathing thank God for that, feeling great except for the cough and flu I caught since Saturday which still makes me feel sluggishy. Other than that, I feel great to be at home. :)

Oh god, I haven't opened tumblr in yearssssss. FREAKIN years. I also forgot that this blog existed. I used to love writing so much even though there's no audience since writing exposes my thoughts and I was able to grab a hold of my own chaotic self lol. I never knew writing used to makes me so happy (well sometimes I also writes during those depressing times haha cheers). Glad that I logged in my tumblr account out of nowhere, for initially wanting to check my main aesthetic tumblr account where I posted mainly neutral coded colors of pictures. I've missed reblogging so much, it feels weird how I used to be so obsessed with tumblr, but life happens, I gets busy, and I totally left it on dust.

When I read back what I wrote in this blog, it felt surreal. Was that me? I did write those? It's crayyyzyyy. It feels like there's some other character which I didn't get to know her, but she feels somewhat familiar yet quietly strange. When I was little, I used to have so many diaries, I realized now I've been loving writing in a diaries just casually talking about how my days went, what I did at school, who my friends are, and what I feel about my crush. Gosh, school crushes are the cringy-est thing ever. Welp, let's not talk about that.

According to this blog, the last time I wrote here was on the year 2020. For the past 2 years, there wasn't much happened in my life. To be honest, my life was pretty going down south since Covid-19 happened. I didn't go out much, I stayed at home all the time with my parents. I didn't even had the courage to drive a car which lasted me for 2 years of not driving. I only started to drive again when I had to go for my internship since nobody is going to send me to the office.

Mundane. That was the perfect word to describe my life since the pandemic. When I said my life was going down south, it's not just my life, it's more like my own self. I was lost. I lost myself. It kinda feels weird to say this, but I barely remember what I did for these 2 years. Probably because everyday was the same thing all over and it keeps repeating. Online classes, chores, cats, staying at home, wearing face masks, social distancing, and the BIGGEST slap on my face is not being able to socialize.

Siggggghhhhhh......

Me being a social awkward potato is already a huge obstacle in my life and while staying at home I developed a much bigger problem which is SOCIAL ANXIETY. As an introvert, I like being at home enjoying things that I love most which is sleep and just do whatever the fuck I want but who would have imagined I had to stay at home for 2 freaking years??? There are some of my friends that invited me over to joined them, but since I stopped driving a car I was paranoid of both driving and Covid which is sucks because it left me feeling FOMO. But now that I think about it again, I made a right choice. I couldn't go out too much where the viruses are still wildly spreading since I live with my parents and they both have chronic illnesses so I couldn't be way to carefree about this deadly virus. Girl can't risks her only financial and mental support haha (jokes). Anyways, I only ended up followed where my parents go, meeting with only close family members and still being cautious with every step I go. I was very skeptical at the beginning about wearing face masks but these days there are a lot of new designs and I'm glad I've found one that I can easily breathe in. As someone who is claustrophobic about the face masks, that is also one of the reason why I always choose to stay at home feeling fomo instead of having trouble breathing for wearing face masks for hoursss outside just to hanging out with friends. Nope, definitely a no no. 2 years have passed and BOOM - social anxiety! Ya girl now gets nervous as fuck everytime she tries to socialize with people.

Since it was too awkward to even start a conversation with people, I started going on internet a lot, much more than I ever did. After my online classes finishes, I went on watching YouTube streams, Twitch, and finally found Discord. I was getting myself into streamers and Japanese VTubers which makes me self-learn Japanese language again just for the sake of understanding what my beloved Vtuber said. Fangirl me is a no joke xD

And until one day, I found Discord. At the beginning, I thought Discord is just a platform where the gamers and streamers likes to hang out virtually. It reminds me of Skype though. Skype brings me so much memories. But yeah, as I went and dig around this newly found apps, I took an interest to it and tried to enter some random servers that I could. It was out of nowhere, just a random click on a very mundane boring sluggy day, someone from one of the random server I joined messaged me privately. This person asked me to be their friend which I thought was weird since I barely even talked in the server and suddenly wanting to become friends? The person even send me a gif. of an anime with a cat waving paws which I find it cute. So I just said yes. We messaged trying to get to know each other. It was hard to messaged on real time due to the different time zones. But in the end, everything worked out. And I have a boyfriend now! <3

What a surprise, I know. Who would have thought me who had always have weird crushes on random people I saw in college and uni, ended up with a boyfriend from the internet lol. It was out of nowhere I didn't planned on having any partner in life since I was already hopeless in myself. But I guess, love will finds you and sometimes in a most unexpected ways. I wanted to share more about this love of my life, but maybe in another post. So that's how I got myself a boyfriend and we are now have been together for 1 year and 3 months. I honestly glad I found someone online, because I would have no balls trying to flirt and find someone in real life. Cuz ya girl got social anxiety... and flirting? What's that? lol

My life has been pretty much the same except now that I got a boyfriend. I usually spend my time with him, my mom and dad, and of course my beloved cats :3 Oh! I also just got new kittens. Omel gave birth to cute little babies. I'm not sure if I'm gonna keep them or not but for now I just wanna cherish the moment I'm living right now. Ever since I met my boyfriend, I find myself being so much happier ♡

I wasn't so sure about this path I'm currently on but I guess I'll just have to keep going :) There might be ups and downs and this is the path that's called life. And I'm the main character in this path in this life!

Never stop believing and never give up on yourself,

dear,

me.

[yandere-daze]

It truly does feel bad as a writer to see blogs like your post that have literally zero reblogs. Is supporting people on here so difficult? I just don't understand the sentiment, I'm sorry. If you feel like it "messes up your aesthetic" then make a sideblog.

Here's a quick analogy I made up to try and bring across with what I mean when I say it's really de-motivating to only see likes on your posts ( especially if it was a request)

So picture this :

You're busy making a present for your friend's birthday. You're spending a lot of effort and thought on this gift, trying your best to give them something that you think they might enjoy

It takes you hours of planning and careful wrapping to get it done but finally, you're done. You look at the wrapped present and are proud of what you have achieved, as well as nervous and giddy to see what your friend might say about it

So on the day of the party you go to your friend's house and hand over the gift, anticipating what they might say about it

Commenting/ sending an ask about a post is them telling you how much they love and appreciate the gift you've made for them. Maybe they're ranting about all the different parts that they really enjoyed about it or they simply tell you that they love it.

Either way, it feels nice to have your efforts recognized and you feel happy because now you know that you did a good job and gave them something they liked

Reblogging is them opening up the present, being visibly excited and rambling on about the things they like (in the tags for example) and then telling everyone about what a wonderful present you made for them.

"Look at what they gave me! I love it so much"

Maybe more people crowd around your friend and the present and some nod their head in agreement, saying that you really did a fine job with it

And then we get to just liking things and leaving.

Simply liking things to me feels like handing over the gift you spent so much time and effort on to your friend, quietly hoping that they'll like what you did for them.

And then they take a single glance at the present, mutter a quick "thanks" and then immediately hide it under the table without any further comments because they want to make absolutely sure that none of their other guests see what you made for them as if it was some sort of dark forbidden secret

This may sound like an exaggeration to some of you but I really do feel like this when people simply like a post and then leave. It's very disappointing because just like with the present, you don't only write for yourself. Sure, the process of wrapping your present can be fun in it's own right but there's still a lot of struggling envolved

If that process was the only thing you wanted out of the gift and didn't want any feedback then you could just keep it to yourself and not even attend the party in the first place

So while obviously yes, you should have fun with creating things, it's only natural that you want people to tell you how they feel about something you've put a lot of time and effort in!

You brought that present because you thought you might make someone happy with it. But how are we supposed to know you enjoyed it when you hide it away for the entirety of the party and only bring it out once everyone has left and then secretly look at it in your room?

Yes, you might have really enjoyed the present but there is no way for us to know that! We know you looked at it and gave it a little appreciate hum but to us that's where it ends. There's no way for us to know that you might even have really loved and appreciated the present if you don't tell us

Instead we just leave that party thinking "Well, I guess they didn't like that present a whole lot.."

This entire reblog is already pretty long but I hope maybe this will help shed some light on the situation. Reblogging and comments are the only way for content creators to know that you love their content and that you want them to keep creating it!
