#and i always feel a little bit bad when someones throwaway commentary becomes a Whole Thing

every time i want to reblog my own non-rebloggable post to add commentary there's the tense, adrenaline-filled moment between turning reblogs on and turning them off again... idk why but for some reason, for almost as long as i've been writing personal posts that aren't particularly entertaining outside their sphere of context (my blog), there's always Someone reblogging them. like nothing terrible happens if they do, these reblogs are unlikely to lead to a Viral Post™️, but it always struck me as a little weird! why would you want this particular post on your blog! and getting to turn reblogs off after years of writing "PLEASE DON'T REBLOG MY PERSONAL POSTS THANK YOU" in my bio and in the tags of each personal post is a blessing. but also,, if i could add 1 functionality to it.....
#on some level i understand that a lot of tumblrs bread and butter are personal posts going wayy beyond their context#and building up additional commentary or funnies like a snowball#but also it can be such a harrowing experience#and i always feel a little bit bad when someones throwaway commentary becomes a Whole Thing
