#BUT FANDOM ETIQUETTE RAMBLE IN NOTES IT IS

[thatoneluckybee]

Not main tagging this cause it's rude I think but I am so close to muting the S.BG tag. I love that comic with all my heart, I love the fanart, the memes, the fics, everything, but y a l l

I like when fandoms grow because more people discover the media! But despite being thriller S.BG has drawn a younger audience. This ain't a bad thing I am technically "younger audience" but it is painfully clear that lots of us are very new to fandom. Y'all have GOT to learn to BLOCK AND MOVE ON. I cannot browse the tag without seeing people arguing over a WEBTOON and tagging people and hating on other users. Block and move on. Please. It is always better to block and move on

Looking at old drafts is so funny bc I always say I'm too tired for spite now, but then I look at things I was trying to create during the same time I said I was tok tired for spite and I have so many spite driven projects and stories. Jealousy plot, unrequited romance plot (made purely to spite the unrequited ships) and I never finished writing any of that, bc even back then spite can't motivate me as much as the delulu I got for my main ship 🤣🤣🤣🤣 and now that I'm looking at it, after I've reached my final(?) evolution as a multishipper and I'm finding that I def don't know how to write those stories. Bc even if the ship that's being unrequited isn't the main ship of the story, it's still one of My Ships. And like, even if I don't have them get together in this story, I can't make them go thru a whole unrequited longing yearning "the one that got away" vibes, purely bc like, I still ship them? Just not for this story? Like the ship didn't happen here bc it just didn't? The 2 parties weren't interested in each other? Either all my ships are romantically requited or they're platonically requited or they're just strangers.

Fandom elitists are some of the most annoying people I swear man. "Too bad crappy modern music will make most of these AMVs in the contest forgettable" bro, amv's have always been made with modern music. How about you stop being a buzzkill and have fun while appreciating the hard work people put in.

It's the same energy of Sub vs Dub debates and the idea that new fans discovering something should be met with ridicule and insults. Let people have fun in fandom spaces without feeling the need to consistently police them.

[qilingxiong]

Hey y'all. So, I love MLC fandom for a multitude of reasons, and one of them is seeing people come to pick up some of the same headcanons and potential story threads that I think about aloud here. It's amazing that occasionally discussions about these characters on this blog have inspired people to write or draw things of their own, spinning off from something else. Transformative exchange of ideas is part of what makes fandom fun for me. However, there's something I want to bring up for the present and future.

I consider this blog at its core to be a personal one. It's a place where I get to mess around and write down whatever rambling that comes to me. Given that I'm a fic writer, oftentimes I write down character thoughts as a kind of hold or saving for later, because I intend on expanding on them in some manner of fic. I am aware that this blog and my thoughts are public, and just to reiterate, I like sharing these thoughts! Seeing people take a piece of one post or idea I had and giving it their own twist, or as a springboard for a different fic concept, is great. But the emphasis on this is that it is transformative, and in some way separate from my original intention.

As a writer who does cherish their ideas, it is jarring to have someone show up out-of-the-blue in the replies of a concept post saying "I used this idea in my fic, as said in the tags of my last reblog". It feels worse to click on the aforementioned fic and see that specific details of that concept have been used without alteration. Credit is given in the author's note, but it is, frankly, ungraceful at best to phrase such a statement as "I stole [X] from this post on Tumblr. I did announce in the tags that I'd use it."

I am not mutuals with this person, and I do not read their fic. Declaring intent to (in their own words) steal an idea in the tags of a post does not constitute received communication, as I don't check the reblogs on every post, and Tumblr eats notifications half the time anyway. The wording of this statement tells me that A. this person is aware they crossed a line by directly lifting an idea from someone else without concrete prior interaction, and B. they do not particularly care.

I reached out to see if there was perhaps a misunderstanding that could be fixed, or a way to reword their credit. I would not force someone to change their actual writing after the fact, and MLC is a small, cozy fandom. I don't want to have conflict in a space I consider a safe haven among C-drama fandoms. However, the response was not constructive. I now have this person blocked.

So, in the future: if there's a story concept I've had that you would like to run with, and particularly if you want to draw on specifics from it, would you mind briefly checking in with me first? It can be a post reply, or a DM, or an ask. A good chunk of the time, I'll be okay! I just ask for decent credit and communication, and there are only some things I want to save for my own writing beforehand. They do exist, though, and I would rather not have them copied verbatim without my knowing.

The main principle here is not about arguing on what idea was originated by which person, but about extending a basic measure of etiquette and respect to other people who share this fandom space with you.

I wish this didn't happen. I do not want it to happen again. I like it here, I treasure this fandom and the friends I've made in it. So going forward, I request that you please don't do this.

[shady-tavern]

Rambled in the tags so I figured I'd ramble here since I didn't see an ao3 link and I'm not familiar enough with Patreon or Kofi to know if it has the leave comments/messages feature or what the etiquette for that there is. Our beloved hellsite is great for that.

Love your stories. Very comfy and relaxing, even the more intense storylines. Big "getting tucked into bed" vibes fantasy stories. Or reading in the woods like Frodo at the beginning of FotR.

The spacy ones are somewhat cerebral? All futury and yet so incredibly human. Fuck protocol indees.

And then like.... Action-y romance superhero stories. They don't revolve around secret identities... I'm realizing a lot of the hero/villain stuff I read specifically on tumblr doesn't as often revolve mainly around secret identities? Some to be sure, I wonder if miraculous ladybug fandom has taken over that niche? Thoughts for another time.

As I mentioned in the tags I'm a bit tired and the stories helped relax me. My cat helped some too ^_^

The superhero ones are delightful. I'm a sucker for romance. It feels bizarre compared to other romance stories, in all the best ways. It's all very soft and gradual. Almost the whole "fell first vs fell harder" and it seems many of your main characters are the fell harder. As if they had to come around and remember that they could be loved. Very burnout gifted kid mood with Demi vibes.

I dunno if there's a set rule to powers in your world(s). But I do so enjoy figuring out through the narrative what certain people can do. Getting just a specific peak into their lives. I don't mind or even really notice the first person. (My spouse has a hard time reading first person). But yeah, each one is also a little mystery in trying to piece together power sets and so on.

This is long and if you've read this far... Well I've posted stuff and love getting comments to note solely scream at a void. Thank you for sharing your stories!

Apologies for the late response and I saw your tags! I found them rather delightful, thank you for that! And for this ask as well, this made me smile a big, happy smile.

I am really very happy that you enjoy my stories! Writing brings me so much joy and happiness, that I always hope I can share that with someone who reads them. I hope that my stories can make someone feel better or make a boring day brighter or help someone bridge time as they wait for an appointment. I am very glad they give off such a lovely feeling! That's genuinely everything I could hope for!

I am very happy that I managed to write the alien and superhero stories well as well! They are a joy to write as well and I am glad that the way I write them makes for fun reading!

I am very happy that you could relax with my stories - and your lovely cat. Cats really are such sweet beings.

Haha yeah, I have a lot of "fell first vs fell harder" vibes in many of my stories. I often try to show and build a connection with the characters before love comes into play, which is very much a demi vibe and many characters are indeed almost surprised that they are loved by others. Or rather, by the person that they fell in love with in return.

There isn't really a rule that connects all the stories, it's more that powers have limits or prices or side-effects and it's up to the person who has them to figure out what to do with that. And those who have no magical or supernatural powers to speak off, they get to be clever and smart.

I'm very happy that you enjoyed my stories and thank you so much for all your kind words. It makes me happy to know that my stories are liked and that people had fun reading them.

【Multifandom】 Sen's Doujinshi Collection: Misc Rambles

Sen's Ship Doujinshi Collection

FGO: LimGuda (Douman x Ritsuka) 💚🧡🐈‍⬛🍊

Magi: JuAli (Judar x Alibaba) 🖤❤️💛🐈‍⬛☀️

KagePro: KuroEne (Kuroha x Ene) 🖤💙🐍🐇

LimGuda, JuAli, and KuroEne are the main ships I've collected ship doujinshi for. This includes SFW and NSFW doujinshi.

I have most of KuroEne's fanarts and web-doujinshi, and JuAli's fanarts and physical doujinshi in my hands. This is because most of their ship fan-artists in EA fandoms were active around 2013 - 2016, so I managed to get my hands on them.

Kid me was a master archiver. So ty to them 🙏

I remember I saved tons of KagePro EA/JP artists' KuroEne fanarts and web doujinshi from back when I was a kid. I have most of KuroEne's fanarts and web doujinshi. I saved at least 80 - 90% of their old fanarts back then, and I still have access to them in my files.

I've also collected most of Magi EA/JP artists' JuAli doujinshi physically, as well.

I have the majority of KuroEne and JuAli's ship fanarts and doujinshi archived, including a lot of stuff that's been deleted off the face of the internet.

I've collected the majority of LimGuda's doujinshi, but these artists are very active in the EA/JP fandom, so I will NOT be posting them publically, out of respect for them. LimGuda is a very recent niche popular ship with very active fans in the EA/JP fanbase.

You can ask me about my LimGuda doujins, though, and I can send pictures privately when I have the time.

I have most of the KuroEne ones translated (and I'm still planning to translate some), and I'm planning to translate the JuAli ones at some point.

However, for JuAli and KuroEne, many of the artists who have made these doujins are no longer active in the fandom and/or have deactivated their accounts/deleted their works.

So, because of this, I'm not sure if I should post doujinshi scans and translations, cuz the KuroEne ones are web-doujins from Pixiv that I saved like 10 years ago back when I was a kid (that are now deleted). And JuAli's doujinshi are physical ones I've collected.

Generally, the fandom/artist etiquette is to NOT reprint/repost any artists' works without explicit permission. You should ask for permission if you want to reprint/repost any artists' works, and ask for permission if you want to translate any works.

I feel like there's a gray area with doujinshi culture, specifically, when it comes to translating old fandom doujinshi by artists who deleted their socials and works, who are no longer in the fandom and deactivated their accounts.

Cuz out of personal experience, I know that for KHR, one of my series interests, people sharing and fan-scanlating KHR doujinshi made things more accessible for fans of the ship.

Sharing doujinshi translations means making the ship more accessible to other fans, but, I'm also not sure...

I think one option I could do is to post it, but disable reblogs, so if I ever need to take down the posts out of respect for these artists, then I can do that. That way, if I ever need to take the post down, then it doesn't leave traces in the form of reblogs.

If I do this, I'm gonna very explicitly put a note saying to NOT repost these artists' works anywhere else, and to NOT repost my translations, either.

You can enjoy them, save them, take screenshots privately for personal enjoyment, but don't post them anywhere else.

Normally, I wouldn't tag my misc rambles (posts that aren't focused on talking about a chara or ship), but I also wanna see what fans of these ships think.

Cuz I could just keep these privately and just have people send me a DM if they want to see the TLs of these doujins that I've stored on my own Notion pages. But it's also inconvenient to send a private Notion page link everytime and keep track of who I've given permission to. I feel like making a public post on Tumblr would be more suitable

I want to share things for the sake of accessibility and enjoyment for these ships' fans but I'm also still unsure...

If you have any other ideas and suggestions, you can let me know your thoughts! ^^

◢◣Welcome!◢◣

Greetings from me, Tap!! I’m a self-taught multifandom artist, amateur webmaster, and abstract character designer. I (plan to) post things like complete pieces, digital paintings, wips, design processes, ramblings, headcanons, maybe even trinkets I collect! We’ve got it all!!!!

Fun fact: I don’t have a pc, everything I do is on iPad.

I’ve decided expand my presence to tumblr for multiple reasons.

The Instagram algorithm is absolute ass, and trying to please it is quite impossible.

I wanted to share more things that don’t fall under the “finished pieces” umbrella that I couldn’t really post before. I mean I DO post stuff like that on my spam account, but only 2 people and a rock see it.

When it comes to my more obscure interests, it’s easier to find folk with said interests on here than probably anywhere else.

I am now cringe i am now free

Fandoms (my taste is all over the place):

Current fixations:

LuLuYam, Cult of the Lamb, Chonny Jash, Good Omens, ENA

Other notable fixations/fandoms:

Camp Here & There

Cuphead

Deltarune

Ghosts (BBC)

OMORI

Ooblets

Our Flag Means Death

Re-Animator

Slime Rancher

Splatoon

Yume Nikki

Music I find quite enjoyable:

Cojum Dip

DEVO

Food House

Lemon Demon

Logan Whitehurst

Miracle Musical

Oingo Boingo

Pink Floyd

Ride the Cyclone

Talking Heads

Tally Hall

The Caretaker

Will Wood

Yuno Miles [mostly /j]

My art can sometimes contain subjects such as eyestrain, body horror and gore. Posts with these won’t be too frequent and will be CW’d, so don’t worry too much! But I just wanted to give a heads up.

Things to Note:

What I draw is heavily based on what my autism fixates on. I wouldn’t recommend following for just one fandom since what I draw can very heavily fluctuate.

I have like. 8742578 different art styles. It fluctuates a lot and I’m always trying new shit out.

Feel free to draw fanart of any of my blorbos !!! Just don’t be weird. No NSFW or anything like that.

As of right now I’m new to Tumblr. Being autistic makes it kinda hard to learn UI/website etiquettes, so please be patient with me !!!

If there’s any problems with the custom theme, pls let me know!! I know there’s not too many drastic CSS changes but still. Plus I’m pretty sure the theme doesn’t even show up on mobile so fuck it we ball

If I ever wake up one day and think “damn this intro sucks ass”, i will update it.

Thanks for reading, enjoy your stay !!

[willel]

Since I'm sure there will be a lot of new people from Twitter, I want to personally say welcome, but also please don't make the shipping wars any worse. Lol

You can do that by tagging correctly, blocking people you don't like, and muting tags that upset you. Tags are like folders. When people tag correctly, it's like opening a book with only the things you like on an endless school. Very handy.

Are you making a post about your favorite ship? Excellent! Tag it correctly. Do not tag a bunch of irrelevant tags as that's considered spamming. Your tags should look like:

#shipname #charactera #characterb #whatever else you want that is actually related to the post

By the way, this isn't twitter. Tags can have spaces in them. You can write a whole ass paragraph almost. It's enouraged to do so!

Also, this isn't TikTok. "Unalive" and other censored words for the "algorithm" are dumb and pointless. There is no algorithm. Use the right words so that people can filter what they don't want to see.

Are you writing a negative post about a ship you don't like? Well that's a waste of time but you do you, just tag it correctly. Your tag should like like:

#anti-ship #dont mention the ship in any other way! It could pop up in their tags when those shippers are trying to do their own thing

Don't cross post KNOWING your post can upset someone. Don't play coy. Don't play dumb. Don't start drama on purpose. If you're bored and want some action, why not get a real hobby instead of fighting on the internet?

If a tag is meant for a platonic ship, then you should find the proper romantic ship version of that name. If another character or pairing has nothing to do with your post, then keep it in your pants and don't tag them. It's rude and could earn you some blocks.

That is the proper tagging etiquette for tumblr.com. You can mute any tag you want by visiting your settings and adding a tag to filtered tags and/or filtered content.

Anon hate is a thing of the past. Grow up. You can send anonymous or faced questions to almost any blog you want. You can also turn off that feature entirely if you don't like it.

If you don't like someone, you can select the three dots on top of their posts and block them. You can save yourself a headache if you learn to curate your experience~

Here in Tumblr, there is no reliable algorithm. More than likely, Tumblr won't be showing everyone posts that are relevant to them automatically. You'll have to visit the tags yourself to see what you want to see.

If YOU LOVE SOMETHING, REBLOG IT. Likes work like bookmarks here on tumblr.com. Everyone appreciates likes on their posts, but sadly, that's all it is. A post can die in the sea of irrelevance if no one reblogs it.

You know all those cool popular posts you see with thousands of notes? They only got like that because thousands of people reblogged it.

Do your artist friends, writer friends, and normal friends a favor by reblogging their posts and spreading the good word~. If you consistently reblog good posts on a consistent basis, you'll likely find yourself some cool followers as well who have the same interests as you.

By the way, while you can be a little well known here in Tumblr, you'll never have any clout. Give up now before you even begin. Everyone is an equal here. We're all just fans being fans of whatever content we're consuming that day alright? There are famous people on here, but unless they're chill and breezy, people will tend to chase them away anyway.

Do you want separate your personal blog from your fan blog? Well no need to make a new account, you can just add a sideblog and it's practically the same thing. You only have to log in once. I have at least a dozen active side blogs for every new interest I get very invested in. Great for organization and keeping your main blog for your personal rambles and posts.

By the way, there's no need to tell everyone your name, your phone number, your address etc. This site is anonymous. Enjoy the anonymity! Let yourself be a faceless fan among other faceless fans, keep your personal details safe and private.

And finally, don't be a creepy weirdo. That's pretty self explanatory. If your are a creepy weirdo, stop while you're ahead. You know you're gonna get caught and ousted. You aren't slick, you're just a weirdo.

That is all. This is meant for the Stranger Things fandom but it can be applied to any fandom. Hope this helps.

[secondsonaym]

Okay, so I've had a bit of time to think on it (not that it bothered me that much, but I did want to try and clarify some things), and a sort of 'follow up' to this post in particular.

A little rambly, so under the cut.

Note that this isn't to talk about that specific anon or the specific issue involved in it, it's just a jumping off point, more or less.

I think people do need a bit of a reminder about 'parasociality' and the boundaries that tend to get ignored/eroded because of it.

To get right to the meat of the issue:

I'm ace. I have a complicated relationship with sex and sexual content. I feel bad when I have to bring up these parts of my identity when explaining these things, but I provide them to sort of give you a better perspective as to why some stuff may not be good to say to me. Why I take them a bit personally.

The long and short of it is, I'm really only comfortable with jokes and the like when either I am the one to publicly initiate, or it's happening between my own friends, in a comfortable environment.

It's why I tend to not let some stuff I tag with 'suggestive' to be reblogged, because that's just not what I want to be spread around and get people making the wrong assumptions about me.

Obviously there's nuance and yadda yadda sometimes exceptions, etc. But this is where I stand, and will not budge, because of a history of people continuously being entitled to the point they think they can disregard my requests to respect this.

So, tying this into the whole 'parasocial' aspect.

Yeah, I'm very casual and chatty, I like to be friendly to you all and I enjoy seeing your commentary and stuff, even if I don't always respond--Honestly wish there was a way to 'like' replies like on twitter, cause I usually use it as an indicator of 'I've seen this and it made me smile :>'

But. And this a big but. That is not an open invitation for you to jump straight to telling me things like "I put your OC in a smash or pass discord channel" or things of a similar nature. That's a bit too much of a boundary break.

Like, removing the context, how weird does it sound for you to tell somebody (who doesn't know who you are) that you put their character in a channel where people rate their desire to 'smash' or 'pass'? It definitely sounds weird to me, and I sure as hell wouldn't say it to somebody I barely even know.

I'm a bit skittish to begin with, so it's definitely not easy for me to loosen up and be comfortable interacting with new people, but stuff like this makes me withdraw back into my shell, so to speak.

I don't mind starting up convos, and if it seems like I'm actively engaging in the dialogue, then you have nothing to worry about, but this also isn't an invitation for Every Single Person to hit me up.

On the internet where those boundaries aren't as visibly noticeable--I can't give you body language to show my mood, for instance--It's very easy to not see that stuff, but I really think people need to take a few moments to consider if they're assuming too much about their relationship with somebody before saying something.

I've heard horror stories about even worse shit happening in the fandom, and it makes me glad y'all are so respectful as it is, which is why I'm not getting boiling mad or anything over this stuff, cause I'm sure you'll listen and understand.

And as far as that specific scenario linked goes: I don't care what y'all discuss about my OCs or my stuff between friends/in private spaces and all that. Out of sight, out of mind. You don't need to tell me, and I'm not gonna Thought Crime you.

The issue I'm taking is with the assumption of things, to the point I do need to go on these several-paragraph rambles, when stuff like that I feel should be basic etiquette.

I love y'all and I am happy people enjoy my things, but please let me stress that as far as interaction with y'all goes, I'm really not that much different from a streamer or something. I'm just a person doing a thing, and people like that thing.

Sorry this got a little long-winded, but I hope I at least made my point, and I'll stress again I'm not mad or anything. It's just been on my mind, so I might as well talk about it.

[im-the-real-goobatron]

I forgot that most people generally make intro posts

Uhhh

Hi! As my description says I go by the alias Gooby online <:) so when referring to me I’m happy with that, pronouns atm are they/them, gender is TBD and sexual identity is unlabeled, maybe queer. I’m 21, pls take note of that when interacting with my blog, thank u!

I mostly like to post/peruse on tumblr for fandom art, so most of my posts will be multi-fandom/interactions with mutuals.

I’m currently a Multimedia student exploring various mediums of art, but generally I’ve transferred from physical art to digital, so you’ll find that stuff from me mostly.

If it isn’t obvious I like HLVRAI and RTVS atm, but if I get inspired to I’ll draw for other fandoms I’m into (like block-game YouTubers or gay Lego bricks)

If you find I don’t tag things correctly please lmk, I’m still new to tumblr etiquette.

I generally ramble a lot without, even saying anything worth saying, so heads up for that.

I’ll cya on the inter-webs, cheers ❤️👍🏻

[beps-brainrot]

Don’t mind me and my ramble below. I just wanted to make this for myself since I’ve made more art this year than in many years prior

In January, I started the year by deleting my public accounts on IG because I couldn’t handle the pressure of having so many social ties with people that I didn’t know or didn’t want to know. Due to a traumatic falling out, for a time, I was terrified of being visible to everyone, especially to people form my past. The idea was petrifying. So it was a very nerve wracking decision to come back to Tumblr sometime around May. But In Space with Markiplier had just come out, and I was blasted by nostalgia for my old fandom days. I was absolutely itching to be able to participate in fandom in a way that’s just not possible on other platforms. 

Though my love for sharing brainrot outweighed my fear of being visible, I was still terrified, and it took a long time to come to terms with my choice to be public and post my creations. It also took a while to figure out how to be a good user on Tumblr dot com, and I still feel like I get a lot of social etiquette wrong. But I’ve come a long way, and by sharing in our community, I’ve been able to mostly let go of that fear of being seen, and I’ve been able to grow much more confident and happier with my creative side. 

I’m very happy to be able to participate in such a unique and creative fandom that’s filled with some of the sweetest and most inclusive people. And I never know how to express my gratitude to the multitudes of people who have shown love and support to the silly art that I make. But to every regular in my notes and everyone who has ever left a nice comment, I see you, and I appreciate you more than I can properly describe. If only I could repay the positive impact all of you have left on me. In every reblog and interaction, I hope I can be at least a small source of joy for other creators who need it too. Anyway. Thank you, and I hope to continue to share and have fun here<3

[ishouldsleepbut]

@chloeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee hi welcome to tumblr FINALLY!

i'm so so glad you're on here, it was kinda made for you ngl. anyway, here's the basic rundown of how it works here.

ANATOMY OF TUMBLR POSTS:

above you can see the average tumblr post. starting along the bottom are the 5 main buttons you'll see under every tumblr post. from left to right they are the notes button, the share button, the reply button, the reblog button, and the like button. the share button is rarely ever used so i'm not going to cover that.

the notes button: notes are the combined amounts of replies, reblogs, and likes a certain post has. clicking on the notes button will open the replies section and then you can switch between viewing the replies, the reblogs, and the likes. you can also view the spread of the post by clicking on the cluster of four circles. the reply button: this is speech bubble button. it'll open up to what is the comments sections of tumblr. it's like less-used version of tags (more on those later).

the reblog button: the most important button on a post hands-down. reblogging is how tumblr posts stay alive. it's how posts get circulated and it's a way to show the op that you enjoyed what they had to say. when you reblog a post, it appears on your blog when people scroll through it. most of my blog (and the majority of everyone on tumblr's blogs) are made up of reblogs. i think reblogging is neat because it shows what you're interested to anyone who finds your blog like a little bulletin board! so use reblogs whenever you find a post you like or think is cool. the like button: exactly what it sounds like. likes are less important here on tumblr (reblogs are the equivalent of likes) so you don't ever have to like posts. i do it as a reflex but whatever works for you.

another important part of a tumblr post are the tags. these are the little words under the actual post itself that start with #. tags are used to sort posts into categories like fandoms and topics that are talked about in the post. they're also used to express your own thoughts about the og post. so tags can look like this:

or this:

don't be afraid to just ramble, that's what the site's for. don't tag spam either, which is adding tags to a post that have no connection to the post itself. it's against the tos and just make everything messier. OTHER ADVICE:

block any tumblrs you don't like: nsfw tumblrs, porn bots, homophobic and transphobic blogs, and anyone you just don't like it. it's not personal and no one will take it as such. tumblr is about creating your own little space in the internet that's just for you and you can't do that without getting rid of the stuff you don't like. you can also block tags you don't want to see

make friends! reblog posts and add your own ideas in the tags or the reblogs. send asks to blogs you think are cool. yell things you like about posts in the tags. tumblr is weird because it doesn't have an algorithm and requires you to actually interact with posts and blogs to get stuff on your dash. so do it! some of the funniest, kindest people i know are my mutuals (or moots) on tumblr. the community on here is really great so take advantage of it.

search up #tumblr guide and #tumblr etiquette for more info on how to navigate this hellsite because i definitely did not cover anything.

most importantly be safe and have fun! i'm really glad you're on tumblr. hopefully, you'll soon love it like i do.

First post, kinda nerv

might as well introduce myself.

Hi, I’m Chloe, your local transfem catgirl :3

I like cats. And Blahaj’s.

My fav fandoms are gravity falls (I’m literally Pacifica), warrior cats (I’m literally cinderheart), heart stopper (I’m literally Elle), and spider verse (I’m literally Gwen)

Im probably just gonna rant about gender and dysphoria but also like metaphors and stuff

Because gender is a performance and sometimes you just don’t feel like it ❤️

But also just random silly stuff that pops into my head

Yay!

Byeeee ~

I don’t quite get why people get so defensive when someone simply points out that LXC is directly responsible for his brother’s punishment. Because he is. LXC is the sect leader. It’s ultimately his decision. However, it’s up to the readers to decide how to feel about it. Some may find it too charitable. Others might cheer him up for it. Personally, I think it’s not his proudest moment. I doubt he feels good about it. It happens. As to 33 wronged “grandpas”, 1) they were senior disciples whose actual age is unknown, and 2) we don’t really know what they intended to do if someone who’s not a raging psychopath had to fight them. That cave scene is pretty vague. We don’t know how the fight actually started only that it did. Were they going to kill WWX? To kill both of them? I dunno. In any case, my sympathies are ultimately with someone who got his back flayed open which took 3 years to recover. I feel like whoever inflicted the punishment is pretty damn fine, they got their justice. But ymmv 💁‍♀️

????? ok?

hihi, not that it matters much because your art always gets a ton of notes anyways, but you should save the ramblings under your art til the end. the first five tags are the most important so those should be the ones that say critical role, fanart, etc etc. thats all have a good day!

shrugs. i ramble a lot and i’m just like—so long as the fandom tags are on there somewhere it doesn’t really matter to me, so i just do whatever. i usually always see my posts in the cr tags anyways, so i don’t really care about my tag placement.

i put my ramblings at the top so people know i have additional things to say, whereas if i put them below no one will notice they’re there unless they care enough to open ‘em. other times i don’t care if people read them or not, but the beauty of tag commentary is they’re optional to look at and more subtle than saying things out loud in replies lol

so maybe there isn't an official college etiquette rule book, but you're 99% sure this can be classified as a violation. you glance around the lecture hall for the third time in the past two minutes-- nineteen, twenty, twenty-one vacant seats-- yet this stranger is sitting right next to you.

weird, yes, but whatever. maybe he won't do this again next class. you can deal with it for another hour. hopefully.

--until he starts talking to you, and god, it's like you're having a fever dream. not a single introduction shared between you two-- and somehow, within the span of a few minutes, your mind shifts from 'who the hell is this dude?' to 'who cares, i need to focus on this physics lecture' to 'you want to fist fight who now? did you just say god?'

"but anyway, that's my theory on that. get what i'm saying?"

you stare blankly at your notes, notice how the writing has gotten progressively worse the more you listen to this mysterious classmate and his weird rambles. it's undecipherable at this point. scribbles, really.

"i am so sorry," you start, the words more drawn out than intended as you figure out the politest way to approach him, "but do i know you?"

the redhead watches as you massage your temples as if it'll rid of your headache, grinning when he realizes that he, is in fact, the headache. he slides his notes over to you, perfect and pristine ( which invokes an ungodly rage in you, because how did he even manage to jot all that down and spew such utter bullshit all the while? )

"i'm childe. you're welcome, by the way."

↬ itto ࿐ ࿔

it's storming, and here you are, running for your life across campus without an umbrella. ( it's also eight in the morning and you overslept, so all in all, you think this monday is an ominous warning for the week to come. )

"you there!"

no. okay. you lied. that voice is an ominous warning. you halt in your steps, blood running cold at the brisk command. you turn on your heel with a vague guess of what you expect to see-- someone intimidating, naturally, but the man before you screams terrifying. a booming voice, red markings adorning his face, and an intense expression you can't quite decipher.

you don't think too hard about it because he's suddenly charging towards you, and in all your horror, you can't seem to budge the slightest inch despite the harsh downpour.

--then he stops inches before you, holds his umbrella over your figure to shield you from the weather.

"oh." you're breathless, staring at the other with both gratefulness and absolute bewilderment. "you scared me."

he blinks four times, thinks about how he approached you, and comes to the realization that it wasn't the most optimal approach. itto knows he can come off as scary and he's sure the fact that you're absolute strangers doesn't help.

there's a sheepish smile on his face as he says his apologies; you think it grows wider when you tell him it's okay and thank him instead.

"don't worry," he says fiercely, "i'll walk you to class. i won't let this rain hurt you."

your brows scrunch the slightest bit in confusion, but you're almost inclined to let him accompany you because of the fervor in his voice.

"thank you--"

"itto."

you smile.

"thanks, itto."

( it turns out that he always acts like that. you're not sure why you thought it would be a one time thing. )

↬ thoma ࿐ ࿔

one in the afternoon and there are no open seats on the campus bus, much less any open space. you're squished between the wall and a stranger, hands aching as you cling onto the overhead handle for dear life ( because you suck at balancing and you would die if you crashed into anyone. )

you're too focused on trying not to fall to notice that the person in front of you is frowning as he looks at your trembling hand. the bus ride is a long one, unfortunately, and he wonders how long you've been hanging on like that. surely your hand must ache.

he almost smiles, amused at your efforts, although his concern grows. thoma is good at many things, distraction one of them.

"i'm thoma." he speaks up out of nowhere, capturing your attention as you finally look up at him. you're a little thrown off at the random initiation, returning the formalities as you introduce yourself. his lips curl faintly as he hears your name; you're suddenly too aware of the close proximity the bus capacity has forced you into.

"i don't mean to intrude," he speaks in gentle tones, "but you might hurt your hand if you don't relax it a little."

you have already-- just a bit ever since he began talking to you-- but you look at your hand, grimace at your knuckles before loosening your grip. thoma seems entirely relaxed, unconcerned with the possibility of losing balance at bus stops. you, on the other hand--

he seems to read your mind. the blithe smile grows a little bit more.

"if you stumble, i've got you."

"if i stumble, then you stumble."

"that's alright." thoma responds with such genuine enthusiasm and reassurance that you're not sure what to do with yourself. "i'll catch you."

( yes, you do manage to let go of your death grip. and no, you do not stumble, much to thoma's relief. )
