#I'll reblog this on my sideblog and probably delete it from the main blog in few days

[bluesdesk]

Hello people! As you might have read from my last post, I'm making a video game for university with a group of other students. We don't have to just make a game, but also make a research on what people would like to get in a new game, and opinions in general.

I made a form with some questions, it's anonymous and the only personal information we ask are age group, gender and spoken languages. I don't know how many people I will reach with this post, but it's really important, so please forgive me for adding many tags.

The form is in Italian, but I tried to translate it in English and other languages with Chrome and Edge, and they work quite well. Firefox instead makes some funny mistakes, but it's still readable. Of course, as this is a university form, I must ask you to not be a troll, thank u!

For linkeduniverse people, yes this is the same form I posted int he server there's no need to answer again!

The game we have in mind is an action-adventure (like Zelda) with some platformer elements: some boss fights look like those from Kirby or Smash Bros, and some are side scrolling fast sequences, like Sonic. You'll learn more about the idea in the form!

Thanks so much to anyone who fills it!

🐺How to use hashtags on tumblr to organize a story!

It was like paddling in an open sea .... Ok, it really took me 4 years to figure out the thing with the internal hashtags on Tumblr and realize that there is an advantageous sense in them initially only working within your own blog. If you don’t really need them, the benefit isn’t immediately obvious.

Plus, the display of the most commonly used hashtags leads you to assume they are more universally intended. The advantage of internal blog hashtags didn’t click for me - until the moment I actually needed them to bring order to my blog chaos and understood that you can easily sort everything with them, especially when it comes to storytelling.

I originally thought: “I'll make sideblogs for the stories, so I can have everything neatly gathered, with matching colors and background images." However, the hashtags from the main blog don’t work in the sideblogs anymore unless I link them and unless I’ve missed something again. Now I’m wondering if I even need the sideblogs anymore. Probably not. So, new plan:

I’ll post everything on my main blog

tag it with both specific and general tags

using intern unique tags for different supposes

and that’s pretty much it. At the top of a pinned post, I’ll provide an overview of what you can find under which hashtag, and they’ll automatically function as a sorter for an entire internal storyline. Done.

Btw, thanks for the right hints, which made me take a closer look, test things out, and understand how it works by answering my question on it here ...

@figure-it-out-later and @tenyrasims - which made me think about it and especially @satureja13 for the needed key to my head to unlock this blind point🥰. from @satureja13 : ... I just make sure to tag every post properly so I can add new stuff to my pinned post. You can also keep your pinned post clean by making sub posts, like I do for my chapters, for example. ... I can find every event, character, location… within seconds. That’s what I really love about tumblr.

So, what can I do now to satisfy my need for beeing over organization🙈? Technically, I could delete the sideblogs, but I can also use them in parallel, reblogging the respective content there, and thus have everything in a separate place, visually appealing with the story-appropriate colors - for my own peace of mind or for anyone who prefers to read there. But I’ll only reblog, not post the original, so following the sideblogs isn’t really necessary - though of course, you can if you prefer the color-coordinated layout there. If I ever decide it’s all too much, I can delete the sideblogs without losing my original content, as long as I only reblog from the mainblog to the sideblogs.

Is anyone still following? Probably not,😂 but I think this works for me.

Long story short: I’m going to rearrange things once more and adjust the pinned post accordingly... and bring any duplicate content back to the main blog. My old stuff from before the long break will stay here, and maybe I’ll update broken links if I ever get bored - not that I know the meaning of the word, lol. Otherwise, it’ll just stay as it is, since there’s barely anything left in my EA gallery, except for the stuff that can’t be deleted.

Ok, here we go ...

[daniigh0ul]

some housekeeping !!

i have decided to create a sideblog for reblogging anything not related to sims, sim stories, or gaming (bc if i turned this blog into just a simblr i'd explode i think)

i want to make more of an effort to engage with everyone here (again) so hello !! expect to see me in ur notifs or your inboxes eventually

i can't make any promises but i am going to try to update moonlight once a week from now on <3

i cleaned up the main blog so now if you are looking for my story or want to see the cool sims stuff i've reblogged, everything is tagged and also linked in my pinned !!

i think that's it. i'll probably delete this later to keep things tidy :D

[no-psi-nan]

🥺🥺🥺 not 2 be sappy on main but omg I actually started off in Deviantart ages ago, that was the closest thing to social media for me until the tumblr migration lol. But I never really interacted with people on there, and even upon moving to tumblr, never really interacted with people here too often either. At first I had my main blog which was meant to be more professional since I was selling art to get a little college income, so I didn't really make too many irrelevant posts. Then I decided that I wanted to be able to reblog art and support other artists, so I made a side blog where I carefully curated and tagged the posts I reblogged. I made a few original posts but no one ever interacted, and eventually I realized that people only ever sent me asks there if I tagged anything wrong. Also I found out that adding stuff like series and character tags to a reblog on tumblr is basically useless because the op will pretty much always tag those things which makes it searchable on your own blog even if you don't tag it yourself. And if op DIDN'T tag it those things, your tags will make the post searchable on your blog but NOT in the general search, so it doesn't give op any more of a boost than just reblogging it tagless. So I made another sideblog, which I still have today, and I just rapidfire reblog literally anything I find shareworthy lol. Not any interaction there but at least I'm not wasting my time meticulously tagging strangers posts hsfjdlshfks. Since I was best friends with a big name fan in my main fandom (we became friends when I left a long emotional comment on their fanfic btw <3), I helped run some small fandom events and met more people as well. When I switched fandoms, it was a fandom event that gave me a new friend too, my posts never got any traction. Large fandom discords didn't really work for me either. But on this blog I was lucky, and for the first time people started like actually responding to my comments and posts, and get conversations going! And genuinely that's what's kept my brain rot so powerful I think, because bouncing ideas off each other and joking around and shitposting is genuinely the most fun I've ever had online!! I have to thank desta and oatmeal for the fun times especially, and hillbilly---man left really nice comments on my first few fics that really encouraged me, and I always have fun trading ideas with alienn, saikikthoughts, and crookedlyinnernightmare, plus everyone else who's on here, that's too many people to type out. AND I TYPED UP A BUNCH MORE STUFF BUT TUMBLR FUCKING DELETED IT!! Are you shitting me.... Well I think I remember saying that even if it's been getting kinda quiet and boring lately so my attention is starting to wander (I've pretty much posted all of the meta that's not deep fanfic hc at this point and my drawings take me a long time to make), I'll never delete this blog and I'll still be putzing around online until the day I die probably. And I'll always remember these days fondly and hope to find another great community like this one. And also I highly encourage everyone to post, reply, interact, and play with fellow fans! I've made lifelong friendships over blorbos and even if we don't have the same blorbos any more, we're still friends. Obviously stay safe online, never send money to strangers, probably wait like a year to start shipping each other stuff but still, reach out because you never know who you might meet! I've been lonely irl for most of my life for various reasons, and my online friends have been a lifeline honestly, they're all really important to me. Two of my best friends today come from fanfic comment sections!! Also I need to get around to archiving my meta on AO3 lol (yup, it's for meta too!) but that's gonna be a lot of work so -_-U).

[koinotame]

\o/

hi! it's me, nana / koinotame!

if you're wondering why i went inactive and then deleted, my mental health kind of (really) tanked... and i ended up deleting my blog in a fit.

it's getting better bit by bit though! and i've been wanting to get back into writing (and talking abt my unhinged/yan ideas i can't really talk to anyone else abt), so. here i am! for now, at least

as for my previously posted writing, there's some good news and some bad news: the bad news is that everything i wrote directly into tumblr (99% of snippets, a lot of ask answers, most exact content warnings, etc) is gone. the slightly less bad news is that iirc there were very very few posts of mine that weren't reblogged by anyone at all, so they're probably still out there? feel free to send them my way if you find any and i'll rb them. @/midnight-remembrance also has reblogged a couple of them! there's a couple snippets i have saved in some places, so i might repost those on my own as i find them, but there's very few of those. the good news is that anything longer (proper writing — oneshots, hcs, yan alphabet responses and so on, prompt responses, etc) is safely backed up where i originally wrote it! some of it is also on my ao3, which is the same username. feel free to send me asks about any you'd like to see again and i'll repost them! i might not post them if i feel too embarrassed about/wish i hadn't posted them, and i might rewrite/heavily edit some of them, but i think there's only a handful that fall into the former category and none of them were particularly popular. either way, no harm in asking!

as for some other updates: i'm a little divided on whether i want to keep posting explicit nsfw or not so we'll see. i might just keep it out of main tags. idk yet. regardless of what decision i make, this blog is still strictly 18+ and that will not be changing. since we can reply from sideblogs now, this is a sideblog and not my main now. why? sometimes i prefer to check up on a blog frequently instead of following them for a couple of reasons, but this felt very awkward when they were following me. so this being a sideblog relieves a bit of that stress. if this makes it sound like i have severe brain worms, it's because i do. to that effect though, if we interact every so often feel free to consider us mutuals regardless of whether or not i'm actually following you =w=b tbh i.............. am not really into genshin anymore. i might post about it here and there but i just Do Not (really) Care about it anymore. scara aside to some degree i also have no clue what's going on post inazuma lol whatever projects or commitments to writing or etc i had made beforehand. i forgot all of them so just pretend that never happened ok? ok i'll also probably be posting more sparsely, but we'll see! and (this is obviously the most important bit) i have no clue where i put the mika edit so we're back to my og classic pfp. the header scales terribly and is temporary, please ignore that too

all that aside, as a treat for anyone who sees this in time,

*roughly 6/22 done, but fairly quick to write. roughly one paragraph per character (sneak peek line: "it's not too hard to be discreet with his unique magic when someone really deserves to fall face down a flight of stairs. or three. oopsie. odd they don't remember it, huh? well, he had nothing to do with that.") **more realistic isn't quite the right word(s)... probably won't post this one to the main tags regardless. won't be doing all of the characters (only important/relevant ones) and won't be writing more about/expanding on, so this one is just like. a one off experiment sort of thing. overall less violent than most takes on the au + leans a bit (or lot, depending on how you look at it) more on the religious aspect of self aware aus. i wrote a couple paragraphs a while ago, then rewrote them, but i'll only finish/post them if there's interest for it (sneak peek line: "aether has deluded himself and cast You aside entirely on his own—and when You finally grace them with Your real presence, zhongli is certain aether will be the first to fall from Your grace.")

i have one other new thing immediately ready for posting that'll get posted in a couple of days but that one's pretty silly

[superblysubpar]

Hi Taylor! Responding to your post about engagement. I don't think you're doing anything wrong. The only ST blogs (including writers) I'm seeing have super active engagement right now are people who make a ton of personal posts for their followers to interact with: talking about their personal lives, asking opinions, soliciting recommendations for things like hair products/other stuff their audience probably has opinions about! But those are people who have a LOOOOOOT of followers and are constantly interacting with them. Which isn't everyone's cup of tea! I used to write in a different fandom and cranked out a ton of work and had an obscene number of followers, but I didn't like sharing a lot about myself because I was a minor and I'm kind of a private person, and that made it almost impossible to drive engagement or make connections. I had like a billion likes and reblogs on everything I posted (in the age where reblogs were given more freely). But I didn't have any friends and didn't receive many comments (maybe like 30 across all of my works combined), so my fandom experience felt really lonely. I want to stress here, and I am not humblebragging or anything, I was the #1 most popular of all writers in my (massive, at the time) fandom based on the number of hits and likes I received on my platform of choice. I still had no friends and felt invisible. Eventually, I pulled the plug because the only meaningful interaction I was getting were requests or people asking when I was going to update, which felt frustrating and also alienating.

Now that I'm seeing other writers get that engagement by just being a little more open with their followers and kind of carving out their own identity as a person, I think my fandom experience would have been a lot more rewarding if I had felt comfortable doing that. You already frequently interact with other blogs by reblogging their stuff with commentary. And I want to say, that's exactly how you would make those connections, usually. Have you tried kind of keeping tabs on followers who frequently interact with your stuff, maybe following them back if you like their blog or reaching out directly to them? A lot of people find writers intimidating, but if you see them leaving nice commentary frequently in the notes or something, it could be worth DMing them to talk about the fandom you have in common or even to follow up on their comments about your work!

I hope I'm not telling you stuff you already know. Another thing I wanted to say is: I love your work, and you're doing great. I don't comment as much as I should, and I'm pretty busy a lot of the time. (Sometimes it takes me several tries to read through a chapter because I have to keep putting my phone down to deal with things like family, work, etc.) When that happens, it can be hard to use my indoor voice in support, because I'm already in a headspace of just being glad I was able to finish something I enjoyed and reblog it. But I love your work, and I'm always excited when you post. I do all my ST stuff on a sideblog and it isn't very active, but I love your energy, so if you want, I can DM you on my main and maybe we could be friends! 🌻

Thank you so much for all of this! Again, it's clear from these messages and my DMs that I'm not the only one feeling this way, and already that has helped, and I'm glad we're all talking about this.

Unfortunately, yeah, I kind of already knew these things and have been trying for a few months now. I know things don't happen over night, but sharing personal posts and leaving them up for 24 hours with zero interaction, I'll tend to delete the post then. But I do try to share a lot, and I'd love to share more. I'm always reblogging those asks, I even posted my face a few times, I talk about screenwriting & things outside of tumblr - but this also lead to some nasty anons. I know it's kind of a give and take - what am I willing to put up with, and what do I actually want, so maybe I really do just need to up it more than I have been.

I definitely notice people in my notifications and if I don't follow, I try to send a DM. Like I said, I'm trying 💛

And thank you 💛💛 I really get it. I don't have the energy most days to read, my drafts of tbr is over 60 and many of them are series. And I'm not upset about reblogs or comments or anything like note count. I've done a lot of work to feel better about those sorts of things. Not to over state it, but I'm just in a community seeking headspace in both tumblr life and real life, and it's just easy to feel isolated lately.

Overall, I'm glad I posted about all of this because maybe it got some people thinking, and it most definitely got me connected to more of you, and for that I'm extremely grateful 💛 I'd absolutely love to chat more, my DMs are always open, truly 💛💛💛

[bespectacledbun]

syn!! it's been so long, good to see you back! thank you for tagging me 💚💚

started writing: oh jesus. probably around 2014, 2015? when I was in middle school for sure though. I remember my first ever published fic was a birthday gift for a friend on wattpad..... please don't look at me right now. but yeah, that was where I got my start in writing I suppose, reading and occasionally writing diabolik lovers fanfic (please kill me)

started blogging: definitely in 2013. I heard about tumblr from a friend who was very into the furry community and my first (now-deleted) blog was an anime blog. my current main (meganecentral) is one I've had since december 2016 (!!!)

followers: last I checked, some 1000-odd followers on my sideblog. I find that focusing on how many followers you do or don't have is super detrimental to not just your health, but also your craft. I've seen absolutely brilliant writers and artists on here and twitter/xitter destroy themselves because they keep pushing out more and more and more content in the hopes of increasing their follower count, at the detriment of the quality of their work. seriously, it really does not matter that much; this is tumblr.

communication: I'm..... okay? I guess? with communication. I don't really reach out to other blogs (because anxiety + my primary method of communication is discord), but I also don't turn people away if they want to speak to me either. I'll leave comments in the replies or tags of fics I like and I'll respond to anything sent in my dms/inbox, but beyond that.... I guess I tend to limit my communication on tumblr to people I consider my friends? like syn and alt

likes: like followers, I don't think likes or reblogs are indicative of anything more than "hey this thing is cool". there's plenty of fic on Tumblr that I'll leave a like on, and then share the link with my friends on discord or add to fic recs. for my own stuff.... it doesn't really matter because I primarily post for myself to begin with. if others like it, they like it. if they don't, then that's that

requests: absolutely not hdhdfhjsdkfg for one I work way too slowly to consider taking up requests (and I have limited time in the semester to begin with). rather than requests, I'd rather have people just pop into my dms or inbox to share brainworms! that way it feels like more of an exchange of ideas back and forth, not one person demanding work from another (something I see happen too much when writers open requests)

writing: oof. very slow. I stopped writing full time pretty much in... 2021? when I started college because im a full time student for 3 semesters a year (spring, summer, fall). I actually purged a lot of my pre-2020 work from here because it just.... didnt fit with me anymore? so I felt uncomfortable leaving it up when it no longer reflects me as a writer

when I do write it tends to be more a stream of consciousness, where I just 'see' the scene I want to depict, and write it. 100% cannot write unless im very inspired or in the mood for it. for me, I like my writing to be emotive, so I'll spend more time trying to understand the character personalities and settings of what I'm trying to write. I've also been told (by others) that my prose focuses on picking a single or a couple emotions in the scene, and then working the writing around those emotions to highlight them, which makes sense.

my writing process is... piecemeal. it comes together when it strikes me, but I tend to write little scenes here and there that I then tie together into a cohesive, overarching unit (even for one-shots I do the same by writing in bits and pieces out of order and pulling them together). it helps me with not getting stuck in the "what do I write next" mindset

tagging @lorei-writes, @batteryrose, and @kashimalin-fanfiction. and anyone else who'd like to do it, I suppose 😂

Behind the scenes of a Tumblr Writer - Tag Game

Hey there, I love behind the scenes and since this is something that's rarely talked about, let me start the chain... if you feel uncomfortable with a question, just skip it. You can add some if you want as well.

Started writing: I wrote my first Harry Potter fanfic at age 10. Started posting around 15,16 years old. I'm now 31, so...

Started blogging: I started on a German fanfiction site around 2010/11 I think. Might have been earlier too, but back then I was mostly reading, no posting. I really started when I got into One Direction (very late, tbh)

Followers: Currently at 961, which is wild to me. I don't even know that many people IRL. I convince myself that half of them are bots tbh, so I don't freak out all the time.

Communication: The people I talk to regularly are: a few writers who answered after I constantly reblogged and commented on their works and a few people who commented and reblogged my work. Writing and blogging on here can be pretty lonely, depending on your personality and the time you're active (I'm from Europe and a lot of my followers seem to be living in Northern America, so there's the Timezone thing) ... And I found that the best way to strike a conversation is to reblog, comment, and to not be shy. I do wish I got more asks, though....

Likes: I actually filter them out. I have 793 original posts up at the moment. It doesn't give me anything to know how many likes a fic has other than to tell me which characters are liked more than others or maybe that one fic does especially well. My activity only shows me comments, asks, reblogs with tags, and answers to my own asks. I live for the tags and the comments.

Requests: I love talking to people about ideas. That's how I started the plotbunny game because I have so many ideas and so little time. And sometimes an idea just doesn't want to be written out fully. Requests are fun because YAY, I get some mail... but then I freak out because I don't really know how to write this NOW and then I freak out because it's been a week already, two weeks, wait, two months? I'd rather have suggestions where people tell me vague things like "I'd love to read something about this side character" or "Have you ever considered this character with a soulmate trope"? because then I don't have the feeling of failing the request when I write it a little bit differently.

Writing: I am a fast writer. I know that's one of my talents. I can churn out a oneshot of 1k words in less than an hour. People read slower than I write. That can suck sometimes because you've just posted this and you want to know what people are thinking but they're not as fast as you are. I do have a lot of ideas. I want to write constantly but my brain doesn't always want to. I am trying to respect that.

There are also certain things that I just feel wrong writing. I cannot write anything suggestive (I also don't like reading it) and everything past that gives me panic attacks. I can hardly write mean characters and jealousy feels so wrong to me that I cannot write it. I've also overdone it with the soulmark trope and now I feel like everything I write about it feels lifeless.

I write best in the mornings before going to work, but I don't have much time there. I don't need special music (but it helps), but I need to have at least some energy left and at best, no distractions. But I have been writing for over 20 years, so I will say experience helps a lot.

hihi fyi i’m going to stop using this side blog and just use my main so I’ve switched urls, gonna transfer all the posts over to that one 

[kimdokjas]

hi everyone, i'm so glad to be back!!!

so just to give you guys an update on what happened—my account was suspended for almost a whole month.

basically it was just staff holding my account hostage for no real reason ;A; and the result was that my blog appeared deactivated, all of my posts vanished from the tags, asks i sent got eaten by tumblr, and all my dms disappeared during that time.

(to clarify: apparently it was for having too many urls? but most of them were actually active which was weird? and then staff took forever to reply to my emails only to finally be like "here's the list of urls you need to delete or we'll terminate your account forever (:" and the list was just. urls of either actually active group sideblogs or sideblogs i'm not even an admin of and couldn't physically delete even if i wanted to so. i was basically stuck in limbo for a good while until staff finally listened to reason.)

i've spent a lot of time and care curating my blog over the years, as well as building friendships with a lot of wonderful people i've met here—and to have it all suddenly taken away was a really scary experience. these past few weeks i've just been worrying about what would happen if my account got suddenly deleted for good.

still, i'm so thankful that i was able to keep in touch with several of you through discord!

even so, several friends reached out asking me if i blocked them and whether they had done something wrong which is just heartbreaking to me—i'm truly so sorry if anyone thought i blocked them for even a second, it just makes me so sad to think about.

this is the main reason why i just wanted to explain a bit what happened to hopefully clear up any possible misunderstandings.

i really hope nothing like this happens again, but just in case— you can also find me on anilist here (i've been slowly trying to get the hang of it lmao) and mutuals are always free to ask for my discord!

also, thank you to everyone who still kept tagging me in their lovely edits! i'm still tracking #usernikiforova btw, i'm really sorry for the delay if anyone thought i stopped reblogging them! i swear i felt like i was looking sadly through a window at all your beautiful creations but being unable to reblog them ;-; just a heads up that it will probably take me a couple of days to catch up with all the posts but i promise i'll reblog all of them as soon as i can!

and finally, i really want to say a HUGE thank you to everyone who was able to reach out to me asking if i was okay and expressing your support—i was honestly so touched to receive your messages and you have no idea how much it meant to me to not feel so alone going through this. ily all so much <3

mutuals, if u could interact w this post just to make sure you've seen it i'd really appreciate it! also, please bear with me as i'll probably rb this a few times just to try to get the word out

[omarfor-orchestra]

Thank you @fuckinherondale for tagging me!!! Ily ❤️

1. why did you choose your url? My nickname at high school and my region of origin 💞

2: Any side blogs? if you have them, name them and why you have them. Yes, @orieuro is a sideblog I was supposed to use if I reached post limit during sanremo. Of course I'm stupid and I didn't realize I couldn't link it to the main blog bc if I reach post limit I can't post on that one either. Also @fanarts-will-save-the-world which is a blog I use to share every fanart and fanfic I find on my dash

3: How long have you been on tumblr? Started in 2014/15 I think but accidentally deleted my old blog so this one was born in February 2021

4: Do you have a queue tag? Nope. But I probably should

5: Why did you start your blog in the first place? I don't remember, probably bc I kept seeing pictures on Google that came from here so I just got an account

6: Why did you choose your icon/pfp? Because I used to have my own picture as an icon but I didn't want to anymore, so I choose another b&w pic on unspalsh. It's an angel statue from Bologna's cathedral, so....

7: Why did you choose your header? Bc I'm a figlia di Loredana, why else

8: What’s your post with the most notes? The one about usamerican esc. The tags on that post...

9: How many mutuals do you have? I have no idea, I usually follow back everyone who follows me and I unfollow later if I don't like them

10: How many followers do you have? 213, I used to have like.. 800 or something

11: How many people do you follow? 974

12: Have you ever made a shitpost? As @ivegotdimpleswhenismile says, shitposts run into my veins

13: How often do you use tumblr each day? Every damn empty minute of my sad and pathetic life

14: Did you ever have a fight/argument with another blog once? who won? I don't think so. But I think someone talked about me on a callout post

15. How do you feel about "you need to reblog posts?" Depends on the post

16: Do you like tag games? I love them!!! But idk who wants to be tagged in these kind of things so I usually tag whoever wants to do them. If you want to be tagged just to do something tell me in this post maybe, I'll remember!

17: Do you like ask games? Yes but they are rare

18: Do you have a crush on a mutual? Duh? All of them????

Tagging @ivegotdimpleswhenismile and whoever wants to do it! (Seriously let me know and I'll tag you in the future!)

Since I have more sideblogs then sense, I thought I'd make a post to let y'all know what they are.

This one you're on is the main blog. And it's chaos. The queue is set as high as mobile will let me. I'm trying to lower the number of likes I have saved and then I'll go through the entire blog to delete things. Chaos.

@notanrp-stimandcook is for all of my stimboard reblogs, recepies, and references. Mostly recepies honestly. And some other stim posts like videos.

@notanrp-neurodivergent is where things about mental illness, neurodivergents, and LGBT+ stuff went. I reblog all sorts of stuff there that feels to me like it belongs. But not everything I reblog is about me. It's stuff I think other people might also want to see too.

@notanrp-si is for Bioshock, Dishonored, Detroit Become Human, Little Nightmares, Mythology, Until Dawn, Undertale, Deltarune, Danganronpa, Outlast, and history. That's it. It's too keep you all from having to face a million Bioshock posts at once. Unless you want to lol

@notanrp-taz is for The Adventure Zone. Because I realized I was reblogging a lot of it. I've come to realize 99% of it is Taako. And I don't know if that's cause I liked too much Taako shit or if there's so much Taako to be had.

@notanrp-comics  is for Comic stuff. Cause Comic. Honestly, it's because that comes and goes as a hyperfixation and, like TAZ, I had a lot of likes kicking around that I wanted to consolidate.

@notanrp-witchy is my witch blog. I keep all sorts of things there. Spells and tarot and reference. Some silliness. It’s not my book of shadows so I don’t know how much will be like... me writing. 

@notanrp-notfandom is gonna be where I put the animals and landscapes and architecture and probably fashion. Other not silliness and not fandom things will go here too.

@notanrp-hell is where I'm putting all of my Hazbin Hotel and occational Helluva Boss reblogs

@notanrp-system system stuff. Mostly headmates posting. It's mild chaos and there's a lot of art reblogged there. But most everyone is pretty chill.

And that's it. C: so many frikin blogs. Sorry.
