if you have a blank blog and keep getting blocked by every blog you follow because we're all wary of porn bots, but you don't know what to put on your blog

you look like this rn

this is what spam bots look like as well. this is a screenshot of a blog I think belongs to a person but it has no posts and no likes so I cannot tell

you can change your profile picture to literally anything. it can be a solid color. it can be a character or actor you're fond of. it can be your cat. it can be a stock photo. literally anything, but it probably shouldn't be your actual face

you can change "Untitled" (which is your blog title btw) to, again, literally anything. it can be "Hello" if you want. "Twitter Transplant" works too. just something

people here often put their name (usually not the one they use irl, or at least not their government name), their preferred pronouns, and a brief overview of their interests in their bio. there's no need to overshare or link a carrd. it can be "I'm new here and haven't set my blog up yet!"

you may have seen people encourage pinning a post to your profile. that can be very similar to your bio, just an overview of what to expect from your blog. fic writers often include their masterlist on it. if you're not set up yet, it can be a placeholder. "pinning this for later" is better than nothing

on mobile, your Edit Appearance button looks like a little paint palette board. here it is on my blog

on desktop, you go to your sidebar first

Edit Appearance brings you here

my bio looks Like That because it has links in it, which have to be coded in html

we don't want to block y'all but you have to show us some signs of life. PLEASE. also this is a blogging website and blogging involves posting or reblogging but that's another conversation

when i make a pop culture reference i expect people to be like “wait oh my gosh you’re so funny that’s so fitting for this situation +10000 aura btw give me a kiss” but usually nobody gets it and they just give me a weird look instead

Saw a captain underpants reblog and that post dug up some old memories of mine

I LOVE MOVIE MELVIN HE’S SO PURE AND HAS NO SENSE OF HUMOR (HE’S ME FR FR ❤️❤️❤️❤️)

The Sweeps!

Normally they just number themselves randomly but Cyclonus got fed up and gave them names. Scourge got ticked over being beaten to the punch, so Cyclonus lets him take the credit. Cyclonus doesn't remember naming those extra guys, though. Actually, he doesn't remember those extra guys, period.

Based off that one time in Starscream's Ghost where those three Sweeps had distinguishable character traits; the Whining Sweep, Cowardly Sweep, and Politely Declining Sweep.

Aaand then all the extras.

my bias as someone that's been on the drawing side of an artist-writer thing – not to make things about myself but with the way our culture is always eager to discard works by shitty (allegedly) creators idk I think it's good to consider collaborative works are never the product of just 1 person & I don't think the involvement of that 1 bad person means the legacy of everyone else involved should be tarnished &/or thrown out. I get the main value of art these days is as an identity marker but 1 can hope

edit: tbh a big part of why I'm reluctant to collab on longer projects. like potentially investing years of my life into something ppl might sour on overnight if/when that other person fucks up; something I'd have v little or no control over
