I'm so fucking tired of nearly every emoji creator having some form of drama attached to them. It's gotten worse this year. So much worse. This space has become so toxic and hateful when it should be loving and uplifting. All the ones that actually are loving and uplifting either go ignored yet post away or give up after a few months and just disappear with an abandoned blog or randomly deactivate.
I want to preserve content and provide for those that need it, but there's so many creators that I just can't turn a blind eye to shit for anymore that this blog would be basically empty if I stopped platforming those bad apples. This shit is why I'm so goddamned burned out. This isn't even a community anymore. Just a popularity contest of "who can I hurt more?", "who can steal the most?", "who can recover from the most cancellations?" (looking you in the eyes Custom-emojis). I'm over the middle school/high drama of it all. Why can't y'all just create art in peace and help those that need this for accessibility? Why make it a fucking thing?
I'm so disappointed and ashamed of so many of you. I'm 25. I'm too old for this shit. A chunk of y'all are too old to be acting this foolish. Get your shit together or you just might see my retirement soon. I'm done with y'all.
PS: To those in the community that are good noodles and actively help me: I see you and I appreciate y'all so much. You make my days on this hellsite and Discord so much more bearable. Know this is not about y'all. You're wonderful. Keep doing you.

I wrote this on my old blog about the only living boy in New York before it got deleted so here it is again!
you miss him and he isn't in your city. that's all the song should be but it's so much more, there is more love in this than any love song paul simon ever wrote. and he doesn't even write the song with a girl's name, it's tom get your plane right on time because that's the role art played in catch 22. he doesn't try and disguise it, he's openly honest about the fact that no one makes him feel quite this way. and you quote his phone conversations in the song and he comes in with his harmonies when you aren't singing as you two are detached, he's whispering "here i am" like a long distance phone call, it's so romantic, so romantic. and you have a girlfriend but you're the only living boy in new york because he's gone. and then you bring it to him after, for him to sing harmonies on, to duet, so inherently romantic and raw and jesus that must have been hard for paul, art knowing it's about him, but art did it, because of course he felt the same, they were the cheshire cat and the white rabbit together they were boys together they loved each other so much. I am weeping as i listen to this song because it is the most pure and deep love song if you read it platonically or romantically because they're only away from each other for the stint it takes to make a movie but paul simon missed him so much, the emptiness one feels without the other half to their musical duo/their lifelong childhood best friend... it says something that a lot of paul simon's songs post s&g are so cynical because hearing this song... he must never have felt love like this again. Love so simple, half of the time we're gone - the time when they aren't together, two halves of a whole. And you watch the pair of them in concert and no two voices have ever soared the way they do, art garfunkel's spun sugar light voice and paul simon's conversational gentle speak singing... without the other they were the only living boys in their city and this is really, truly, the most romantic song ever written.

👋🏾 Hello everyone.
After a lot of thought, I have decided to delete my profile. It will be gone on
November 16th, 2024
Again, thank you all again for the love and the support. Have fun over here, stay safe, and I love yall so much!!
Click the read below for context.
It's been forever since I've been on here. And I wanted to apologize for it. But I'm not 100% sure if I'm going to come back.
When I started this blog, it was so much fun drawing soft bellies and fluff, and I'm sure you've all enjoyed it as well. You all loved Ronnie, Eugene, and Azai so much and I can't thank you all enough for it. The art raffle with y'alls oc's and the stuffing drive for Eugene was so much fun too! Managing the blog itself had become a lot to handle however.
I hadn't known how to properly use tumblr back when I started, with default pfps specifically. I had originally thought that it was just users with no pfp. But with learning that most of them could've been bots I started blocking away. At that time default pfps had liked my old art posts and it was taking forever to block them. It was getting overwhelming. (its easy blocking blogs with no age/not 18+ -- as any nsfw blog should think. 👀)
Along with that, with my current living situation I don't have as much time to draw like I want to. I've tried to convince myself to gather the courage and leave said situation- and combined with CPTSD, severe anxiety and AUdhd, it's almost impossible. Especially without a support group irl that could help get me out of it. (hopefully ill get out of it soon :> )
And belly kink in general isn't in my mind constantly like it used to. I mean, I still LOVE IT don't get me wrong. But it's hard for me to actively draw it out without it in my mind. I made this blog so that I can passionately enjoy it- not turn it into some chore.
With all of these things combined, I would have periods where I wouldn't post for months at a time. Which I absolutely hated. But as time went by I realized that I didn't have this blog on my mind as much anymore and couldn't easily get back on it. Hence this post. I couldn't leave this blog without some sort of explanation, it wouldn't be fair to just delete it out of the blue and leave y'all confused.
I want to thank the few people who have commissioned me and have won in the art raffle. It was so much fun drawing everyone's oc's!! (the most patient people I've ever met omfg). Thank you to the two people who have donated to my KoFi. Those generous commissions and donations have helped me with bills. Thank you to my mutuals who's art gave me the inspiration to start this blog in the first place. And thank you to all of my followers who still check in every now and then, It's been so fun posting art of my characters and engaging with all of you!!
Thank you thank you thank you!!!! I love you all so much!!! - CJ💎
May all of your lives be filled with joy, laughter, and ofc round full bellies oh! or empty bellies~ :D !!!
DATE OF DELETION: November 16th, 2024

To new followers--
Hey so like, over the past month or so, I've been hit by about 500 new followers, which is a very sudden, massive spike, and while I'm sure most of them are bots, I really can't be sure which are and which aren't.
To this end, if you see this and you have a mostly empty blog, PLEASE, I'm begging you, please make your blog not empty somehow so I can tell if you're a real person, otherwise you do run the very real risk of me blocking and reporting you for being a bot, because I really really don't want bots taking advantage of this blog.
Anywhere here's a short list of things you can do to make yourself not look like a bot:
Change your icon. It can literally be anything. Modify the default icon somehow, use a screenshot from whatever show you like, take a picture of your carpet and use that, use some art. Anything. (Although I'd advise against anything that might make you look like the other kind of bot blog.)
PLEASE change your title. I have now learned what "Untitled" looks like in many other languages. A change in title and maybe even description will go a very long way !!!!!
Change the color of your in dashboard blog from the basic white background. (In edit appearance.) Set a blog header image. (If you really don't have any images in mind, this blog is full of images. Pick anything.)
Turn on custom theme in the blog settings!! This didn't even used to be an option and was enabled by default and now it isn't.
Hide your likes and follows. Most bot blogs don't hide these. Unfortunately most newcomers don't hide them either.
Reblog or post a few things. It can literally be "im a lurker sorry please dont block me". A good thing to keep in mind is to try to reblog things that aren't related or are specifically fandom related. Bots don't do that, but I have seen bots that will reblog three (3) related posts or like three (3) related posts (from people they don't even follow) and that's that. If you do ONLY this, that's enough.
You don't have to do all of these. Literally even a few is enough. Just show some sign of life. PLEASE.
Since I've seen other people have success with this in the past, here's some free icons and headers you can use:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
These are all my images and my editing so you needn't worry about credit or whatever.
There are a virtually infinite number of icon makers at Picrew and a ton at Meiker.io
Old Windows icon images.
People make free icons on here all the time.
And if you want to be a little silly with it, I spent an entire month of my life making this default icon dress up game. (Yes, really, an entire month.)
I'll give you all like a week or so, and I WILL be re-reblogging this intermittently as a reminder, because after that I WILL start to block and report anyone who hasn't sufficiently proven themselves not to be a bot. This may not be a personal blog, but it IS my baby and these bots exist specifically to exploit the blogs that they follow, so don't help them out be letting them hide amongst you.
Because I don't want this post to be an annoyance, I will post a new palette each time I do reblog it, and I will delete old instances after sufficient time has passed. Please bear with me.

Greetings!
Tumblr media
I seem to have gotten a lot of new followers over the past few weeks, and perhaps everyone isn't going to look at my pinned post, so I thought I'd do an introduction — or a reintroduction — of me and my account.
My name is Sapphire (yes it's my IRL name) and I'm probably too old to be on Tumblr, but I've been here for a long time and I'm not going anywhere any time soon. I'm a nerd, a dog mom, a lawyer, and I'm a person with low vision.
This is not a YOI fan blog. I get asked on occasion about it (probably because of the names of two of my main characters) and I'm sorry if you came here looking for that. If you want more elaboration about my Yuri & Victor, please look at this post.
This blog is ostensibly a Sims 4 blog. That having been said, I'm a writer above all, so although I do enjoy playing The Sims and I post a lot of Sims screenshots, my true passions here are my stories. Just so you're aware, some of my writing is not "illustrated" by Sims screenshots at all.
My currently active stories are: - The Art of Redemption - Caroline & Co. - Assorted Short Fiction
Links to other stories that are either completed or paused can be found in my pinned post.
I also make CC (@stargazer-sims-cc), reblog other people's CC (@stargazer-sims-finds) and reblog non-CC posts that I like (@stargazer-sims-reblogs). *** please note - my CC blog is currently empty because I'm in a process of sorting and reorganizing it, but I anticipate it being back up and running within the next few weeks. Meanwhile, you can find some of my CC and builds here on the main blog by searching the tag #made by sapphire
I like to chat and interact and I'm happy to help whenever I can, so please feel free to send me asks or send me a friendly DM any time. I also love comments. I'll never find it annoying if you reply to my posts, and I'm not against "like spam" so feel free to have at it!
It's nice to have you all aboard, and I'm glad you decided to follow me!

Things that'll get you instantly blocked:
1. An empty blog with no title and a default pfp -- are you a real person?
2. A blog with nothing but provocative half-naked selfies -- this isn't Tinder, go peddle your wares somewhere else!
3. DMing me out of the blue and using words like "honey" or "sweetie" -- awfully forward of you considering that we're not in a romantic or even platonic relationship! (It'll be reported as spam)
3. DMing me with horny posts when I've never even heard of you -- I'm too old and too tired to play those games (this is spam as well)
If any new users are doing this, you're going about Tumblr the wrong way. You need to establish your credentials by interacting with people's posts -- like, comment, reblog! And make some original posts! That way, the rest of us will know that you're not a bot. (I know I'm just shouting into the void here, btw)
A couple more things that will make me block you even if you are real:
1. DMing me with hate or sending an anonymous hate ask -- hasn't happened yet, but I'm sure it will eventually lol (you'll be blocked AFTER I post the hate ask!)
2. Being a terf/radfem or a homophobe -- we're here and we're queer, so choke on it!
3. Being an LGBT+ exclusionist -- ALL stripes welcome here!!!!! Yes, even transhets, aroaces, and any other variations of the rainbow tribe who get marginalised by the queer community!
4. Being racist, sexist or ageist -- you know you're scum, right?
5. Being a Zionist/making excuses for genocide -- I just hope what goes around comes around
6. Being pro-capitalist/right-wing -- you're a fucking parasite, and I hope one day you lose everything
7. Being ableist -- one day it could be YOU who's disabled, asshole!
8. Being pro-AI art -- just ... fuck off and die
9. Reposting other people's work as your own -- you're a thieving piece of shite, you know

Username lore?
Tumblr media
I was in the obscure blorbo trenches when I made this blog. I was gonna post abt him here but he was so obscure and I was way too invested for some reason that I was too embarrassed to ever actually post about it into an empty tumblr tag lmaoooo....
Tumblr media
points at the sign. avert your eyes from the shitty action figure (which is of a character so obscure that somehow it loops back around to being *extremely* expensive. even tho the collectors don't give a hoot about this character. life isn't fair) and look instead at the commemorative fake gold coin, "Tig Fromm, TECHNO-VILLAIN"
Thought "techno villain" sounded rad as hell. Checked and couldn't believe nobody had taken that username yet purely bcuz it sounded cool and took it. Dropped the dash in the center bcuz usernames with dashes in them are for chumps /lh
actually fuck it have some of my old art for droids 1985.

Hello? Hello Hello?
...Well, this place has been dead for a little bit, hasn't it?
Mentioned a little bit before on that collab piece I did, but figured I'd be better to do a full post bout it here!
So, this AU...has been laying dormant for quite some time, and there's not really any excuses for that. I've just been a little busy with school and life in general, but mainly...haven't had much motivation to do it in all honesty, and their's two main factors to that unmotivation.
1. I kinda realized I'd be needing to write a lot for this story, and though I love writing in general...the scope of this would be like writing a few novels if I continued on, and I just wouldn't have the time or sanity to do that, but more on that later for a solution...
And 2. ...I kinda fell out of FNaF for a moment. Well- Not entirely, I'll always love this series, but I guess it was mainly...the state of the fandom after one certain game...Security Breach. After that game came out, it kinda broke the fandom in half. One half being those who hate the game and left the franchise entirely, now seeing it as nothing but for kids and not taken seriously, and the other...well, actually kids. Y'know the ones. You know.
So that kinda left me kinda unsure for my AU, since I thought if I put stuff out now...it wouldn't really be that appreciated. From the start it was meant to harken back to the original classics of FNaF, but with the fandom mostly filled with newcomers for just this one game, and the original fans gone and unhopeful for the franchise, I just kinda...left this place dorment till I felt motivated again.
...And then the Ruin DLC happened, which gave me a spark of motivation. Seemed this franchise was starting to to head to a better place, getting some old fans back, so that's nice. Got me thinking more bout this AU again...
And then the movie happened, and now i've been slapped in the face with motivation.
SO- Guess that's my excuse for why things have been so empty, but now...I AM READY TO OFFICIALLY SAY IT IS STARTING BACK UP! And not just that...but starting fresh! ...Which, isn't saying much, since I only wrote two chapters for it...y e a h - But there's a reason I'm starting fresh, not just for improved art or retconing some of the mistakes of what I did give out, but mainly because...
I'm turning the AU into a comic!!
That's right! Gonna be drawing the whole thing start to finish! Figured this would be better to me since it's quicker then writing it all, and get to show and improve more of my art, so works out! (You can already kinda see some of that with the new pfp and header) Maybe might get some help in the future, maybe might dable in some animation, maybe a lot of things, but guess we'll just hafta see where it goes from here!
What does that mean for the previous content though? All...f o u r of it? Well, that stuff is gonna be non-canon from here on out! It'll be easier this way since those stuff have either some continuity errors that'll effect the story in the long wrong, or just simply I've changed my mind on some things and it'll be a bit more different! I'm still leaving them up, however! Just cause I think it'll be fun to see how far I've come, and ey some art pieces there weren't bad! ...Too bad...okay like one or two were d e c e n t
TLDR of it tho is this: AU's getting a reboot, gonna be made into a comic now, previous stuff is non-canon, and this page should be a bit more active now!
But yeah! Big things are coming, and I am excited to start up this AU again! I have so many plans for this story that I'm just hoping you guys will love, wanna do justice to both sides of the story! So keep an eye on this blog, might take a little longer, but hoping to get things officially and finally started soon!
And to prove some of that, before I go...you guys deserve a a bit of a sneak peak of what's to come, so...hope you enjoy these redesigns >:]

Get To Know Your Moots Writeblr Interview
Tagged by @ceph-the-ghost-writer, questions are from @davycoquette (and like Ceph, i'll link the template riiight here :))
If you see this post and consider yourself part of writeblr, please consider yourself tagged. I don't actually feel like I know enough people who would nod and go "yes, my blog is a writeblr", to tag anyone except @isabellebissonrouthier and @literarynecromancy LOL (also Ceph already tagged Jez so I can't tag him)
On the Tumblr Writing Community
How long have you had your writing Tumblr/Writeblr ?
Well, that's the thing isn't it.
This blog isn't a writeblr. I've defined it in the past as an art blog, because i made it in 2017 primarily to show my drawings to other people. The thing is that said drawings tend to be part of a bit of writing anyway, so of course I'm including that. And it's also a personal blog.
This is just my house man.
What led you to create it ?
Accidentally answered this earlier - I wanted to show my art to other people.
What’s your favorite thing about the Writeblr community ?
My friends ! I, genuinely, do not interact with the writeblr community much beyond my friends/mutuals. I have no idea how I stumbled into having genuine writeblr mutuals in the first place.
What’s one thing you’d like your mutuals to know about you ?
I tend to reblog on @irianeth without further comment because my brain is empty 99% of the time
Is there anything you’d like to see more of on your dash ?
...i don't know ?
What tips/advice do you have for someone who made a Writeblr today ?
Probably go in the writeblr tag and see how people do it ? I have no idea. Have fun I guess.
WIP it Good
Which Works-in-Progress (WIPs) or writing projects are you noodling about, lately ?
I've been a bit frustrated at my inability (largely due to time and energy constraints) to keep poking at my novel, Le prix du sang. [Hélianthe et Atropa tag] Genuinely I would like to be able to write a bit on it soon because i want this story out of my brain and into people's hands.
Other projects I've been Thinking about... Mostly roleplay stuff with @lee-thee-bee [Neseah tag]. There's so many AUs rolling around in my brain you have no idea. I can grab almost literally any character and go "here's an AU where shit goes differently". Sometimes it's better sometimes it's worse. Been rotating a funny one lately including fake kidnapping this time around.
How long have you been working on them ?
Le Prix du Sang ? Oh boy. I think it started before university, so probably in the 2017-2018 ballpark... Man, that's like 6 or 7 years.
Lee and I've been making Neseah since December 2023, I believe. Not even a year old but there's So much.
Do you remember what inspired them/what got you started ?
LPDS : I had a weird fucking dream. I was a woman, armed with a crossbow, running away from an entire village trying to kill me for being a witch. I eventually ended up in the living room of a sexy vampire who was basically offering me a job (helping him massacre the village) in exchange for letting me live. We massacred the village. I woke up like "hold on, if you change some things, it could be a short story". ...and then, the short story got out of hand. The village massacre is essentially just the first chapter.
Neseah : "Hey, do you want to do roleplay sometime ?" "Yeah sure !"
How much time, in your best estimation, do you spend thinking about them ?
24/7 for the Nesean guys as of right now.
Hélianthe and Atropa I mostly think of when I'm writing them, since I've got a Lot of things down for them I don't feel the urge to rotate them every second anymore. That, and it's no longer a hyperfixation.
When someone asks the dreaded, “What do you write about,” question, what do you usually say ?
Is it a dreaded question ? I reply "Fantasy". That's the truth.
Let’s Rotate Blorbos
Name any characters you created.
You mean, this long ass list that should be updated with everyone from Neseah ?
Highlights include : Alan, Hélianthe, Atropa, Anne de Monthaut (I LOVE YOU ANNE), Valiandra (The Emperor - he has his own tags bc I think about him SO much), Benadryl (we love Ben).
Not included yet on the long list, but will be included shortly : Maran of Neseah, Nelvaren of Neseah. Insane wizard son and unhinged ghost father. Also Nadir, who's basically "what if Nelvaren was a 25 year old trans catboy". (if you're wondering, yes, Nelvaren's also trans.)
Who’s the most unhinged ?
I think probably Valiandra. Due to the Horrors.
That and also the fact that sometimes he is his own parent in increasingly fucked up ways.
Who comes the most naturally for you to write ?
Maran and Nelvaren - due to being roleplay characters, mostly ! Spontaneity and being able to Just Get Into It feels important to me to sling stuff back and forth.
Hélianthe goes also fairly smoothly because he's fucking ridiculous.
Do you ever cringe at them ?
(Side-eyeing Hélianthe) You could say I do, yes.
How much control do you feel you have over your characters ?
All and none at all.
Sometimes shit Just Happens and Just Makes Sense (Alan dramatically revealing stuff about his past, him being Margot in Le Prix du Sang). Other times, a character presents me with an idea, and I rotate it, and go, no. Most times I'm between putting them in situations to see what happens, and/or building from things I want to write about.
You gotta be able to reverse stuff you don't actually want in your writing.
Do you enjoy people asking questions about your characters ?
Yes ! It's a lot of fun ! I don't get a lot of them and I'm 100% sure it's because I also don't send enough questions to others ! I want to get bettter at this tbh.
On Writeblr Engagement
What makes you want to follow another Writeblr account ?
If they seem nice !
What makes you decide against following ?
If I feel like I wouldn't vibe with them or their writing !
Do you interact with non-mutuals often ?
No. But that's because I don't go to the writeblr tags. Due to not being a writeblr.
Do your mutuals’ characters occupy space in your noodle ?
@bitchfitch's Arlo lives in my mind rent-free. I need to throttle him so bad but also I want to have a nice day with him and braid his hair or something. I am very normal about this goat. Also Adonis. Every so often I'm just like man, I wonder what Adonis and Ione are up to right now.
@isabellebissonrouthier's Chrysanthemum Clawe - Chrys is so fucking funny. I didn't expect she'd be my favorite but she's a disaster and I love her so much.
@logarithmicpanda's [SPOILERS FOR HEART OF STONE THAT WOULD TAKE A WHOLE PARAGRAPH PROBABLY]. Besides it, there's Ordyr my best friend Ordyr, I want to go hang out with her. And Orion. Funniest little shit I've ever met I need to redraw that slurping the source image.
@jezifster SHADOW. And Veronica to some extent but she scares me, while Shadow just makes me laugh so hard I want to study him like a bug

Okay, there's been a lot of hot topic discussions about participating in fandom and the rules and expectations there in. Great discussions, I am loving the active shift to move back to a more traditional fandom etiquette. Being kinder, more supportive, more encouraging, ect, of creators is great. BUT lets be honest. It's not always easy. One of the biggest challenges we are facing right now is an environmental one. The worlds on fucking fire, we're all exhausted and scared and using our fandoms as escapism from everything else. That still doesn't give anyone the right to become entitled to fandom made media or to behave poorly in those spaces. But the tired and well meaning consumers of fandom who are just too burnt out to do much more than doomscroll are probably wondering how they can help to create a better environment without putting themselves out. I say this as someone who has been there, is there, and will be there again.
Structuring your fandom engagement can be immensely helpful for the fandom and your enjoyment of it. If you are suffering in any way and are just too exhausted to even think enough words to leave a comment on a fic. If your running on fumes and using a constant flow of fics, edits, ect to keep going. But you genuinely don't have the time to stop and engage with the media. If you are suffering from social anxiety and it's just too much to even try to shout into the void. Then this is my advice for you. Put it off.
Seriously.
As a fic writer myself I know how much writers sit on ao3 refreshing and waiting for hits and comments. I know how much I love receiving notifs on here for headcannon posts. And it is absolutely fact that creators must be interacted with and encouraged to make more content. But it is equally true that the media they make is meant to be enjoyed for the long term, not just the moment it comes out. And there are ways you can accommodate yourself.
starting with the things it doesn't actually take effort to do. The things you really should be doing right away. Like posts. leave kudos. use repost and reblog features of whatever platform you are using.
I know that in the past I have been held back from reblogging a post because I know that I will have thoughts on it. So I want to put it off until i have the time to get to it. But the truth of it is that there is no actual reason not to give the creator an empty reblog once or even more than once. Notifications feel good. The only thing that's discouraging you is that little social anxiety voice. I promise you it isn't embarrassing to reblog something more than once.
Creators won't think anything negative about you for doing so. If it's as easy as pushing a button. DO IT. Push the damn button.
And this goes well beyond just posted works too. If there's a discord chat you don't have the energy to way in on but your enjoying reading. Hit them with a reaction. If there's a post in the making with multiple creators discussing something, reblog it. Engage, hit that button baby
Tumblr media
Now for the less demanding tasks, You feeling demand avoidant to engagement. You feeling nonverbal to a mental degree. Head empty no words? BUT your absolutely digging the content your consuming? Great. You can literally save it for later. Your allowed. If you need some kind of authoritative permission to be late to things, This is me granting it to you. There is no such equivalent to liking an old Instagram post (or whatever it is the youths stress about socially). You want to say something in the notes of a post you liked? there's a fun feature of this here blog site that lets you save posts as drafts. You would not believe the amount of drafts that I have saved. Some are years old. Some are kept as permanent references for other works that I come back to.
Your ever find yourself adding to a post just to lose steam half way through? don't delete that response. Save to draft.
You want to leave something nice in the notes of some fan art but can't for the life of you think any words? (There's always emojis) save to drafts. Come back to it later when you feel more up to it.
You're allowed to put thing off. You are not obligated to jump at all fandom engagement as tax for being in the fandom.
Now, that being said, you should still actually come back to that saved content. You want to know a secret about me? I am terrible at leaving comments.
I know as a fic write, I should be better at it, but I'm just not. I came to conclusion very quickly that feeling guilty about that only made me do it less. Less engagement is not the answer. So here are some easily employable tips for being better at leaving comments.
#1 don't...I mean, don't worry about it right away. You just finished a fic, you feel like you should leave a comment in appreciation. You are allowed to wait.
Personally I use my reading history on ao3 to keep track of my reading. I rarely leave a comment after having just finished a fic. Usually I wait for a good mental health day, (or a day where I have to urge to write but my brain won't let me actually work on a fic) and I go through my history and leave comments on all the fics I've read since the last time I did this. I usually do this between every month and every other month.
I gave this advice to a friend of mine a couple years ago and she has decided to make a personal tag in her bookmarks that she uses to keep track of fics she plans on commenting on later.
I have also personally used the PRIVATE bookmark feature as a way to take notes on fics while reading them so I remember what I wanted to comment on later. Since these notes are nearly ineligible to anyone but me. And since they're invisable to the author, this feels private and organized enough for my brain to handle.
I find that this method not only make me feel good for spreading joy across the fandom in bursts but also sometimes lets me make more well thought out and articulate comments. It also allows me to go back and leave a comment on each chapter of a long fic with my thoughts, without disrupting my rhythm during reading. Which we know authors love getting a stream of new comments, so there's no need to feel bad about it.
#2 But wait, maybe you do want to leave a comment right away but don't have the words. Then you can leave an emoji or keyboard smash and just come back later to leave a better comment. Fun fact, you can, should, and are encouraged to leave multiple comments on the same fic/post. You are more than welcome to leave a string of emojis now and come back later. I personally just went back to a fic I read almost seven years ago just to leave a better comment. And while it's awesome to reread fics when you do this. You don't have to. I didn't this time. I just found myself thinking about the fic in question and wanted to say something that, at the time of reading, i just wasn't mature or educated enough to have put into words.
#3 Or maybe you just won't ever have the words to say exactly what you want. That's okay too. Sometimes concepts are just too big to get from you brain to your mouth. I hate it when it happens to me. And in the past it has felt very discouraging. But I promise you it's okay. There are about a million posts on this site giving you advice on how to word your comments so I won't use too much space up on that, but i will say, It's okay if all you can manage is an ok comment. Fanfiction comments are not something you need to have a good grade in. You are allowed to be dry. You are allowed to just say "I liked__ and __ and the way that you___", without elaborating. You do not have to explain yourself and all your thoughts in a comment. A compliment as simple as "I love the way you write." Is perfectly fine.
#4 Head empty, only blorbo? telling people you love the trope they're writing, or a headcannon you like about the character that they included is great to. Or something included in a drawing. As fun as it is to receive an annotated analysis on something, it's actually not mandatory for you to talk to someone about their actual writing or drawing skills. Sometimes all your brain wants is to think about the character or the headcannon or the scenario. And that's ok. Clearly the creator wants to as well, if they wrote about it.
The core of all of this advice is not to put too much pressure on yourself. Fandom is being consumed too fast and left behind to quickly. It's okay to take your time with things, Yes even if you also find yourself chasing the dopamine. You can like the latest trendy fandom, and also use any of the above methods to keep track of the whirlwind of content your eating through, and come back to it later. You can also use que features to space out your reblogs of some fandom content to spread out the appreciation.
If you are for some reason embarrassed to blow through someone's blog or fics, use the que feature. Making comments in a private bookmark and then add them to the fic later.
You are allowed to take things at your own pace. Fandom isn't just for right now. It's for the long term, but only if you continue to engage with it.

Local cat doctor threatens old carp with knife yet he is unfazed.
In other words, welcome to The LeeMiu Files!
⪩⪨ About Me ⪩⪨
Hello! My name's Sonne (she/her), and I'm a Lee yumejoshi! Simply meaning, I have a mad crush on old carp and I am now married to him(their birthday is Oct 13!). I'm 20 and a Brazilian artist!
This blog is my big collection of my yumeship, LeeMiu(also kindly nicknamed CatFish), expect art, stories, headcanons, memes and whatever else I make on them! Probably as you've seen, I'm a huge Arknights enthusiast, playing the game since early 2021 and still going strong! And since we've just got the new update on Global as of me writing this, I have much more space to friend people!
Tumblr media
⪩⪨ I AM A NON-SHARER! ⪩⪨
Seeing other yume's work gives me real bad anxiety, so please do not discuss your yumeship with me! I'd rather not block anyone, just please respect my boundaries! You're also free to block the #LeeMiu tag!
⪩⪨ About The Ship ⪩⪨
"The two people connected by the red thread are destined lovers, regardless of place, time, or circumstances."
Essentially just...A feisty, short-tempered Feline Doctor, who has a lot of secrets she doesn't know about, is simply told "find the man in black", seconds before her reawakening. Said man in black has always felt a certain emptiness in his heart, like he is missing something. Little do both know they have met in the past, before the doctor's unprecedented coma, and when they reunite, both feel a spark.
Doctor Miu, first apreehensive and agressive to Mr. Lee, would end up giving in to her feelings after several attempts from the Lung to initiate a relationship. He'd gift her a jade pendant in the shape of a ring, which funnily enough, she'd wear on her finger as an actual ring.
"Only good and evil. No luck or misfortune."
They are now married, happily walking with their tails coiled around eachother's. Maybe it was about time those three children of his gained a mother figure.
TL;DR Himbo x Girlboss.
⪩⪨ Other Info ⪩⪨
⌕ I'm more than happy to receive art/other works on them if anyone's interested! All I ask is that you please credit and tag/link me!
⌕ I may post suggestive content! If too explicit it'll most likely be censored or posted somewhere else.
⌕ Do not repost my art without credit! And talk to me beforehand if you'd like to do so, link me to it when you do!
⌕ If you'd like to talk to me about something outside my ship, please message my main account! I do plan on opening commissions soon so if you're interested, hit me up there!
⪩⪨ Official LeeMiu Playlist ⪩⪨
In general, I hope you'll enjoy my silly little blog! Lee is very special to me and I'd love to put that out to the world! If you're a fellow yume, or even better, an Arknights yume, I'd be happy to interact with you!

"Welcome to Lee's Detective Agency, do you have any work...Well, if it isn't Dr. Miu!"

I've been meaning to make a pinned post for a while now, so...
HI!! Welcome to my blog!!! :D
I'm Camms/Sunny, I go by He/they, and I'm not giving my age srry (but im a minor).
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I'm matching PFPs with my beloved @buttercup-flower-x (my love my boyfriend my world my everything yesyes wahoo!!!)🎀🎀🎀
My obsessions are Spike Chunsoft games (read: Danganronpa and Rain Code), Persona 5, Outer Wilds, Gravity Falls, Scott Pilgrim (a bit.), Project Sekai, Vocaloids in general (if u come up to me just to tell me vocaloid fans who got into it through proseka are fake fans uh. Dont 😶), a lot of extremely niche media (The Orbital Children, Tatami Galaxy or An Untitled Story for example), A Hat In Time AND THIS MFING EMOJI 🎀🎀🎀🎀🎀🎀🎀🎀🎀🎀🎀🎀!!!!!!! I have a thousand OCs, and even more AUs!! :3
I draw (traditional+digital) Ocs and Fanart, I code, I sing, I write, and some other stuff ^^
You can find me on AO3 @/Jellyfish_Grave where I post some AU stuff (and sometimes even some OCs).
Classic DNI applies, but there really isn't any point saying so. Oh and DNI if you're a fandom purist. Like you only want perfect healthy stuff be created for fandoms. I'm too lazy to explain my arguments, so I'll just block you if you don't respect that! Just be nice, and don't start shipping discourse ty ❤
Anyone is welcome to DM me, but I will block you if you make me uncomfy or if you actively hate one of my favs. Nothing against you ^^
I will be horny on main at times. It's rare so I generally don't wanna make an alt just for that, but be warned. I might consider making a tag just for it so people can block it but yeah.
Blog tags are:
#Camma the drawer (art tag)
#Camma rambles (my original posts)
#camms lore??? (Vent tag) (I will not get offended if u block it. I created it so u can block it. Just don't reblog these ^^)
#Cam Ocs (for any oc related content)
#camma fics tag (self explanatory! Posts with links to my fics.)
My sideblogs are these!!
@daigo-rikuto (my p5 protagonist's blog)
@paler-entries (hasnt been updated in a while, unreality blog)
@sanananananananan (one of my p5 oc's blogs. Very empty. Bleh)
Some ships you can expect on this blog (so if they trigger you, you can leave and be on your way safely o7): Akeshu (P5, Goro Akechi×protagonist); Timebuddies (Outer Wilds, Gabbro×Player Character); Scollace (SPVTW, Scott Pilgrim×Wallace Wells); Komahina (Sdr2, Hajime Hinata×Nagito Komaeda); Makoyuma (MDA:RC, Yuma Kokohead×Makoto Kagutsuchi), Billford (Gravity Falls, (original) Stanford Pines×Bill Cipher) and some more I'm probably forgetting. I'm generally a multishipper but those are my main ones!
All of my OCs will be tagged with their full name (except the few that don't have family names, in which case the tag sample will be [story they're from] [name]).
Don't scroll too far into my danganronpa art, I was a cringe kid back then. Cringe as in had unlimited access to internet so that did not turn out well. Please don't harass me over like 2 year old posts thx

What would you recommend doing for starting to get actual followers on here? (Like, never made a post before)
I don't wanna promote much aside from my art and my fanfics :(
Honestly, I don't even remember what I even did my first few months on Tumblr, but I put up my fics and hcs, and I personally opened my ask box to requests and just kinda fucked around and somehow that got me here 🤷‍♀️ This isn't really the follower site so I never put a lot of stock into checking my followers so everytime I do I'm just like 🧍‍♀️"but I'm just a little freak"
But if all you want to do is promote your art and fanfics, then do just that!!! The followers will come because the world is vast, and no matter what you produce, someone is bound to like it, and some of them will become...the mutuals (final form). Idk if you consider reblogging things "promoting," but if your blog is genuinely 100% empty, I'd reblog some stuff and post what you like so people know you're real 💀
Was this helpful? Am I helpful? idk, man, I'm just a silly little freak who's mentally ill. You may know my species as a tumblrina. I'm the one clanging in the dryer as I spin round and round before throwing up, and tumblr is the six year old watching - fascinated by the pain.
You could also try publicly humiliating yourself, tumblr likes that too
