#I will follow the lcf accounts that want to start reblogging

[forgetme-eternally-blissfully]

It isn't even just art anymore. Writing and normal posts hardly get any reblogs now, too. It causes the fandom to feel less vibrant and cozy, and more sluggish and unfriendly. It's tragic because I find more and more accounts that haven't reblogged any posts whatsoever, purely liking things. Especially in the lcf fandom.

Liking does nothing to spread a post. Absolutely nothing. So when the really active accounts only like things, it doesn't make the fandom appear active. Not at all. If you don't share what you like so that other people can see- then why are you in the fandom? Isn't fandom supposed to be a space where you share ideas and art and express love over a piece of work?

Reblogging is imperative to this. Nothing goes anywhere on Tumblr without reblogging. This is a fact. It doesn't matter if you don't have any followers to see what you reblog, because the only reason you would get followers is for your reblogs. Even accounts that mostly post without reblogging still reblog sometimes. Interacting with people in a fandom, following people, reblogging and sharing the things you like? That gets you followers. Because behind a follower is a person that wants to see the things you're interested in. A follower is a potential mutual.

Don't be scared to reblog. Don't be scared to add words to the post or tags. That's how you make friends and grow outside of yourself. Purely liking things is just. A shout in a void. No one is listening.

Please reblog. If you think it's scary or useless, try it anyway. Because it hurts no one, I promise. No one thinks you look stupid for reblogging. No one cares that one week you reblogged lcf and the next you reblogged abt Interest #107 instead. They want to see it. Followers want to see that. They follow to see that.

I truly don't know what to say to make all these accounts that don't reblog anything begin to reblog. Is it scary? Is it too much work? Do you not know where to start? I can tell you how to start. Message me, send me an ask, let me help you.
