Hi! I did a spring cleaning recently and was curious if you could recommend some more blogs to follow? I love yours, so you're a trusted source.

fjklsjfklsd well i'm honored to be a trusted source. i'm gonna assume you mean hockey related blogs, but i follow quite a few people for like.. the mix of their personality/hobbies PLUS hockey (not just leafs but.. a lot of leafs), so i can give you some of my favorites i've followed from the past year in no order (and i'm gonna miss people and i'm so so sorry.. just anyone i rb from is good too, lol) ..

okay people keep spreading this but this is literally just wrong?? like congrats on the 6 fingers op im glad u and Little Golden Father have a special connection (genuinely) but like. táltos and sámán and mágus and garabonciás and javas etc are all different things with completely different requirements and life paths which you should definitely know if you're claiming to be one?? especially since your post says shaman but you're listing the criteria for a táltos, and your username looks like a play on garabonciás so. which is it🤔 maybe get your facts in order before trying to gatekeep

anyway don't listen to op!! your connection to the Upper World is yours alone and you're the best judge of what the Fathers and Mothers want your path in life to be!!

[semiotomatics]

for real tho, the thing that i feel like ppl arent realizing/talking abt, at least the thing for me, is that it was never about the website. like, do i like tumblr? sure, it mostly does what i want in a familiar, vaguely-easy-to-use way. but thats only bc ive been here 13 years and have the internet version of toxoplasmosis keeping me docile and trusting of capitalist corporations. tumblr could Site Of Theseus itself into a completely different beast and id still be coming back day after day.

its not the site that keeps me coming back, its the people. and i dont just mean my friends, or my Beloved Mutuals™, or my favourite blogs i follow. i mean the whole community. every person who posts in a tag i follow, or makes a poll i vote in, or shares their beautiful artwork. every random user who makes a post that ends up going viral. everyone who makes and reblogs Destiel News Alerts. everyone who logs on and agrees to Commit To The Bit until the bitter end. thats why i love this hellsite so much.

thats also why, when ppl ask "where are you going next?", i really dont have an answer for them. i want to say "wherever my friends go", but theres no telling where thatll be. i might be able to find some, or most of, or maybe even all of my mutuals/friends on some other site, but theres no guarantee that im going to find this community. that's what im going to miss when this site dies. not the UI, or the branding, or the crabs. not tumblr.com. im going to miss us.

[chiyoso]

dude.

seeing other writers/mutuals who are so skilled at what they do talk about not getting support in their sfw, fluff and angst fics just piss me the fuck off, i'm genuinely so heated at the amount of old and new writers struggling because of new tumblr users

ik a lot of you readers like to read our smut fics/porn fics, but those writers, also talking abt only getting likes, instead of reblogs n interactions from those types of works as well is just so depressing that im starting to have this growing idea of what some to most readers are in tumblr

ill be the voice that other writers are hesitant and afraid to express:

REBLOGS; ARE SO MUCH MORE IMPORTANT TO US THAN A SIMPLE DOUBLE TAP DOES.

LIKES are like a quick glance for us writers.

LIKES are like people who pass by us when we walk anywhere and everywhere.

LIKING is like telling us writers who take our time to write FREE shit for you; “we see it, we like it, but we will not do anything about it”

LIKES will NOT get us writers anywhere in this app.

LIKES is like deafening SILENCE for us writers, crickets, ghosts, an eerie dark night.

LIKES arent similar to instagram, tiktok and other platforms. it is DIFFERENT in this platform. they dont mean jack shit.

LIKES are like a hit and dip shit scenario. one night stand, loveless sex, meaningless encounters.

i've seen so much amazing fics, nsfw or sfw have over almost 9k interactions, then i look to the reblogs count and see only a whopping 500 or so like THE FUCK? SCUSE ME? WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT RATIO?

if you're apart of the "ooh! i genuinely like this!" then only press like—thank you, truly. we're glad you like our work, to gain your interest and your silent support, but i want to inform you simply liking doesn't help us in a technical sense, it doesn't help our blog, our reach, it doesn't help our blog grow.

and if you're one of the blogs who only likes, i genuinely don't know what's so trifling and difficult about reblogging and adding the pre-made tags for you to spam and get it over with. i do it and its so, so fucking easy.

i genuinely, genuinely don't understand the analogy as to why you can't just... press that helpful ass button beside the heart. please, someone, enlighten me behind the reasoning.

if you're a bot, fuck you.

now, REBLOGS.

will at least (without tags/comments) be seen by your following and increase our significance only slightly.

REBLOGS with # tags INCREASE our chances of being discovered by a fuck ton.

REBLOGS with tags MIXED with your comments HEAVILY motivate us, your thoughts about our WORK motivates us.

REBLOGS are so, so fucking relieving for us, and that relief has been addictive to those starved from support, especially to writers who are struggling OUTSIDE of their work/hobby/blog.

REBLOGS in a literal sense, mean so much more to us than likes. especially with your damn thoughts. the mere thought of taking your time into writing something FOR US and OUR CREATION is so fucking motivating, every positive input from you will be CHERISHED no matter what.

and the fact we have to beg for it, to speak out about it as of late...

god, i remember in full detail the day where i wrote my first story, it had only 200 interactions max, and most of them were only likes and a few reblogs, but my inbox was full of positivity, mixed in with a few shitty ones, but i pressed on because of SAID INTERACTIONS AND MY LOVE FOR WRITING.

to my mutuals and other writers; i fucking love you and your stories so much, sfw or not, the writing community has done so much for me mentally, and lots of fics have been healing me. god its my first time releasing such emotions into this blog, but yea, ive just had it from the amount of turmoil ppl have been causing into all of you, outside tumblr or not.

hhh fuck im so pissed ill stop it right here, stay safe and may your favorite characters kiss you goodnight

Hi there! It’s been a few days but I’m back. Twitchcon has been fun, huh? In the spirit of the Dream and Friends panel, my question today is less of a question and more of a request. Shout out another blog, whether they’re a beloved mutual or someone you’ve never spoken to but just think is cool, and say something nice about them!

-🐝

hello bee anon! i wanna shout out a few amazing ppl here,

@moonthreadsz sel!! thank you for all the dream and friends plushie comparisons, they make me feel soft and happy whenever i see them on the dash, i live your sylvee posting it made me really broaden my interests from just dream team to dream team and a lot of his friends like hannah and sylvee and puffy🌼

@andthingsleftover meryah, 🫂🫂 you are so nice, im so happy you reached out and we talk about random foolish tina and other stuff and thank u for helping and encouraging me with dtblr halloween stuff 💕 u are so nice and supportive

@amethystcove avery i know u arent as active here, but just wanna shout out bc you are awesome and you keep in touch and i love whenever i hear from you 🫂 we should play speedrunners again some time 🥺👉👈💕

also @tinamybeloved veri 🌸 idk if u knew but you were one of the people who inspired me to start making tina art and your screenies made me try out doing tumblr collages so 💕💕💕💕

also shout out to everyone who enjoy my doodles and constantly reblog and interact with me 💕💕💕💕 you know who u are! aaaaaaah

[robotpussy]

omg completely random ask out of nowhere but i saw you mention dnis-archive in the motes of that one thing and omg. when i found out abt that blog i was instantly icked out and scrolled it a little bit before seeing MY DNI WAS ON THERE. WITHOUT ME KNOWING, WITHOUT MY PERMISSION, OR ANYTHING. and they say its not there to make fun of ppl yet stay completely silent when ppl in the replies and reblogs of the dni posts mock the op of the dni like. we all know you lyin 🙄

EXACTLY i have a mutual whose dni ended up on that blog too and its so very clear that the blog exists to make fun because what reason do you have to post screenshots of randoms ppls dnis???? and most of them arent even that absurd its usually stuff like "don't follow me if ur a bigot" or "don't reblog my post if ur a nsfw blog" ... you know... setting boundaries and i think thats the point of the blog. they most certainly are looking at people setting boundaries as a stupid thing people do on here

like i wont lie there are some silly/stupid ones but theyre definitely there to make fun they just want to be able to say 'um i said im not making fun' if ppl have a problem with their blog

[donnerpartyofone]

man i hope this isnt weird and i know its a little weird but ive followed you for a while and feel a deep kindred spirit with you. i know its only parasocial and we arent mutuals so its all good but like some of the things you post resonate with me so deeply and you articulate things abt yourself that i also feel abt my self but you articulate them better than i ever could. also we have very similar hair but i usually weird mine buzzed but when it grows out it looks a lot like yours and you rock it in ways i never feel confident enough to do. idk i just saw your post abt being a bad person but not in the ways ppl think you are and thats like something i think to myself all the time like i wish ppl who think im good knew i was bad and ppl who think im bad knew how wrong they were abt the ways im bad. and things youve posted abt being a stupid person and having ppl be like "youre not" resonate too bcuz its like im painfully PAINfully aware of my own stupidity and bumbling thru like but my loved ones dont want me to think that way or acknowledge it but i think there is something truly liberating in knowing i am inherently dumb in a lot of ways and to a lot of things and i have to work harder to live a good life bcuz of it. idk. im doing a bad job of explaining myself here. but anyways. i just wanna say thanks for putting your thoughts on this website for me to follow and keep doing you, bcuz youre doing it great.

Well I hope it's not weird for me to post this, I suppose it is anonymous after all; it feels kind of private to me but also I am also having a freakishly difficult couple of weeks and it was meaningful to hear someone say "I know what you're talking about." (I think you are speaking very clearly btw) I feel like a lot of the rhetoric society uses to address people who have depression is devised by people who don't suffer from it, like there's a lot of language about how "you're not alone" and a lot of idealizing talk about how great the self-denigrating sufferer appears to others, and that's nice and all but it kind of dismisses the individual's own personal experience of themselves. A person is more complex than their need for extra hugs or attention or something, and a person's perception of themselves/experience of having to be with themselves is not contingent on the perceptions of others even if the external impressions are positive. I don't know, I hate to shit on supportive behaviors but a lot of them are basically dismissive of a person's status as the de facto expert on themselves; I don't really think it's ultimately helpful to make people feel like they don't know what they're talking about, about their own selves. It can be maddening actually, and idealizing talk in particular has a way of suggesting that things have to be great for them to be at all acceptable. Which is really oppressive to tell the truth.

Interlude: In grade school my best friend's class had to do this exercise where they made acronyms of of their first names using various personal qualities, and the teachers gave her shit because for the letter A she used Adequate, and they thought this was, like...bad and had to be corrected.

Anyway I have always written very obsessively and I think it's related to wanting to be understood. Which is not the same thing as wanting to be appreciated, or wanting to feel not-alone. I think I just want someone to say they know what I'm talking about, instead of telling flattering lies or suggesting that something is wrong to say or dismissable just because it seems negative or painful. As if discomfort is automatically invalidating. Someone asked me recently if I journal and I laughed because I've done it all my life, and also because I actually have a SACK of journals under my bed, one regular one, one for dreams, one that's about my dysfunctional relationship with money and materials, etc. And then there's my various blogs of course. I have a couple of semi-pro writing projects going too that I hope I get to announce soon. But it's really all about just the fantasy of articulating something so carefully, preferably in ink (or "ink"), that no one can possibly pretend that they don't know what I'm talking about ever again.

It's funny that we wear our hair the same. I used to wear it half-shaved but my hair grows so fast, it gave me a lot of anxiety. But on that note I must say that whatever pictures of me you see are like 1/1000, I find it very hard to take a picture I'm satisfied with and I often just wind up feeling embarrassed, but ultimately I think I'm just trying to fix some positive mental image of myself even though I know we're all different people at different hours of each day. I dunno. Actually it becomes problematic because a couple of people are always telling me how "photogenic" I am and then I'm like WHY DID IT TAKE ME THREE HOURS TO GET THIS ONE SHOT THEN, and they refuse to believe me when I explain how many pictures I throw out. They think they're doing me a big favor by pretending everything is effortless for me. I have especial problems with my hair, probably every picture you see of me was anxiously snapped at some exact moment when it was behaving! So don't worry, I'm having a really hard time with my appearance basically always. Pictures other people take of me are mortifying, and I'm always like FUCK, that's what they think is a good, representative photo of me? Uh oh. Pictures I take of myself are usually taken in an emergency in fleeting, ephemeral moments where I suddenly look ok to myself.

This morning I went to the church where I've been going since February, a beautiful place full of eccentric older people I have fallen a little in love with. Sometimes I'm tempted to actually convert to Catholicism, like maybe that would be the gothest thing I could do, but I know that I will always believe in abortion and the right to suicide and I'm not too sure about hell or the historical Jesus or papal authority. I just really like it in this specific church. This morning one of the oldest ladies who goes on the weekdays like me introduced herself, she was very sweet and she was wearing hoops that were styled like chains, I don't think she realized they were bad bitch earrings, they just looked nice on her. She said it was nice to see "young people" getting involved with the church, and I wanted to tell her I turned 42 last week, but I might still be the youngest person there! When I met some of the other folks last month they told my husband that he looked like Geraldo Rivera, and then remarked that they thought we were too young to be aware of Geraldo. I told them we're old enough, we're just packed in our own oil. Anyway this is my big excuse to post selfies I was struggling with, I feel more conflicted about them these days, but I guess I'm still compelled. Thanks so much for your understanding, and have a good night!

I've followed you for so long now, since you were 16 iirc (I never remember my own age at past points) so that'd be eight years according to your bio. Not technically continuously since I changed accounts during that time and also was inactive sometimes, but y'know. You had the sunshinesel[redacted] url then I think, or maybe you switched to that URL soon after I followed. I vaguely recall your blog and icon being very orange, the icon might've been a pokemon? Not sure. Since, you've gone thru URL and icon changes (I think you recently changed the latter again, probably for spooky month) and changed pronouns and ofc dropped part of your name, yet you're one of the very few ppl who have (permanently) changed url & icon whom I'm still able to recognise successfully. The only other one I can currently think of has a very memorable name I love that they've never changed since I first followed them so while I don't instantly recognise them on my dash, as soon as I look at their bio I know who it is. I'm not even sure why I never lost track of who you are, I think you've just been consistently posting while I'm on (I'm also German so y'know, time zones) basically the entire time so you were kinda always there, not as like a major component (I don't think we were ever even mutuals but I defo sent some (anon, cuz I'm shy) asks back in the day) but just always there, a fixed point, ein Fels in der Brandung, so all together the changes were gradual to me. And that's nice, y'know? We're just all still here, despite everything. We're grown up now or at least we're supposed to be and yet, we're still here, engaging in parallel play as we've done for years. It's comforting.

Also, I looked at selfies of you for (I think) the first time earlier and was wondering if I may ask where your family hails from bc you somehow simultaneously like my first girlfriend (born to a Bosnian (second parent unknown) but raised in Austria) and a friend of mine (Turkish parents but born and raised in Germany) despite them bearing barely any resemblance to each other lmao

wagh that's wild omg...8 years

and yeah i did have a lesbian vulpix couple icon at some point when i had that url !! i did change my layout again for october reasons hehehe but also i enjoy it very much rn so it might stick around longer altho i am also so fond of the maus icon...hmm decisions lmaoo

anyways this is such a sweet ask there rly are so many connections in this world that we maybe arent even that consciously aware of but they are there in the background uwu<333 it is comforting fr

divnjrnkvke both of my parents were born in southern germany but i have some relatives in ireland on my mom's side and from gdańsk on my dad's side

[thisbrilliantsky]

i feel like this whole "likes vs reblogs" discourse is (as usual) two semi mutually exclusive sides of tumblr talking past each other. some of us are here to hang out with our friends and pass around funny pictures and sad poems etc., and to this side a like is a lil hug or a bro fist or otherwise silent acknowledgement that is appreciated as such. and some ppl are here to engage in a wider community outside their friend group; to create and share fanworks, art, original projects etc., and thus are trying to reach an audience who will hopefully engage with aforementioned art and share it so more ppl can engage with it. and here by "engage" i mean comment, and by "comment" i mean discuss, not just with the original artist, but with others as well. yes some ppl make art etc. just as a hobby and a lil hug from a friend or a mutual-in-law is more than enough reason to warrant sharing it online. but other ppl make art 1) for a living, and 2) specifically bc they want to DISCUSS that art and the creation of art in general with a wider audience, not just their friends. and if they can't do that here, they will likely try to find other places where they can.

and ofc, many, many of the ppl who were "audience members" so to speak (i.e., here primarily to find and engage with art in a community, not necessarily just to hang out with a small circle of friends) left in the great twitter migration a few years back. thus the art and fandom side of tumblr suffered a huge downswing, while the friendgroup hangout side continued mostly unchanged.

ALL THIS TO SAY! the artists who are sad or upset that ppl don't reblog their work arent just snobs who don't like hugs, theyre just craving a wider audience and deeper engagement in their work, and feel that when their "audience" only likes and doesnt reblog (which is where tumblr puts our comments/discussion!), it feels like said audience just hasnt found the artwork worthy of discussion. which naturally would make the artist a bit sad and less likely to post more art later. which is why there has been a push to revive the old art and fanworks side of tumblr which revolved around indiscriminate reblogging and essay-long tags etc. WHICH! is a completely different way of blogging! than those of us who just post stuff to talk to our friends and are NOT trying to reach ppl we don't know!

however! i'm sure we would all be sad if artists (im including gifmakers) left tumblr or stopped posting their work! it would hurt no one if we made a point to reblog more stuff for our lil friend groups! artists asking for more reblogs is not a personal attack!

and artists! pls remember that us lil friend group folks are giving u lil hugs with our likes! it means we liked it! and pls dont be discouraged by lower numbers of notes than five or six years ago, there are genuinely fewer ppl here than there used to be (tho considering the recent reddit situation idk how that may be changing) and the general vibe has changed to lean more toward private groupchat hiveminds than big groups of strangers talking to each other.

ALL THIS TO SAY! pls just. don't take all this personally. these are just two different ways of using this site overlapping. there are multiple perspectives here. more than one thing can be true at the same time. thank u that is all

[icanseethefuture333]

I keep trying to make conversations with tarot readers but all I get is some type of backhanded rudeness in return like is it that difficult for them to just be nice in the replies? some tarot blogs keep making me feel like I cant connect with them outside of tarot and or they just want our requests on things that only interest them. i get its their blog and all but so many tarot readers either only seek money out of ppl or their reactions for the drama surrounding idfk if xyz idol is dating xyz idol. so like what do they even want from people? i try to be nice but its like every other conversation feels so one sided with them. esp in the kpop tag on tumblr.

then its kind of funny when tarot readers act like only their fans are at fault for asking them the qs about like jk fs and so on when they still encourage people to ask such qs. so no offence but so many times it feels like they dont want certain type of audience so if we arent full on delulu they wont try to engage with us or they wont discuss anything other than their view on a topic.

I'm a little confused by your ask does this also refer to me 😭? (I'm assuming maybe not since you sent this to me so I'll try to answer the best way I can). I think some tarot readers are valid in not wanting a friendship with their followers mainly because of the fact they are providing a service and mixing business with pleasure is a slippery slope. I am mostly mutuals with other readers or people I have not given readings to because I feel once the line is crossed it makes me not want to open as much anymore. Its just about being professional but even if I am not close friends with my followers I'm still polite or will engage in brief conversation if I have the time? I think some readers just misinterpret what people say fr and can kinda be messy themselves, i've seen some comments about celebrities or influencers I don't necessarily agree with but hey everyone got their own opinions.

As far as the content goes, i don't know why anyone would complain about getting asks regarding any BTS member fr, they're super popular and that attracts more followers, like do you not want an audience or do you want to cater to only a certain group of people lol? I'll accept asks from any fandom as long as they're respectful but truthfully I don't care what other readers do since that doesn't pertain to me. I just mind my business and I'll reblog other readers/astrologers' content out of support if its really good.

ace ppl aren’t lgbt but their experiences aren’t any less valid just because they aren’t gay. people who aren’t gay aren’t any lesser unless they’re actual assholes bc being lgbt isn’t like. an award or something i don’t know but it’s not a thing that’s “cool” and just because you aren’t included doesn’t mean you don’t have your own community

what do you do when a post of yours flopped? i worked for so long on something and it just flopped and i just feel 😞

honestly this is such a big mood !! like you work on something for a long time and you think its bangerz and then you post it and you expect at least 200+ notes and it ends up with 50 like i feel that !!!

but tbh i dont really do anything :/ i kinda just let it flop and it just chills on my blog but there could be multiple reasons why your work would “flop” and its totally not your fault !!! you could be posting your stuff at dead time (best time is probably 11am-5pm usa time and avoid posting late at night and early mornings), your work just didnt get a lot of exposure (make sure you join networks and use tags to get your stuff reblogged to a bigger audience - popular tags like #femaleidolsedit #kgoddesses #neweraidols #nugudols #idolady are good general ones but there are always some other ones based on groups), the group/person you made content for isn’t popular on tumblr (a lot of times thats also the case if they have a small fandom on tumblr :/), or your followers just missed your post (thats why what time you post is important! and you can always reblog your work every couple of hours so followers who might’ve missed it the first time can catch it again ! ). 

if it flops you can always just delete the post and then repost it again at a better time (which i’ve done before and it does help) but honestly its just luck for me if a post does decent :/ also pls dont blame yourself if something doesnt get the results you want !! a lot of times it really is just exposure rather than quality that makes a post “flop” !!! i bet your stuff is super nice but it just didnt have the audience to support it :( continue to create content that you like and i know for sure that sometime later on everything you make will get the attention it deserves !!!

i know this is an unpopular opinion, but i’m actually firmly of the belief that it is the responsibility of adults to protect children on the internet, and that any adult who responds to someone suggesting that some children might not be comfortable or safe interacting with adults on the web with ‘well were not ALL PREDATORS u kids are just IRRESPONSIBLE we’ve been here LONGER u ungrateful brats’ is generally not to be trusted

like, yeah, don’t put out ur actual age if u want, but yeah u should be willing to say ‘i’m a minor / i’m over 21 / etc.’  because the web blurs the lines for kids in a really extreme way and leads to kids getting taken advantage of by adults a lot (  like me!  hi!  i have Trauma!  ) and yes, it is the responsibility of adults to do what they can to minimize that, just like it’s the responsibility of adults not to pursue overly close relationships with kids irl, no matter how well u get along or how much the kid wants 2 be Uber Close To You.

teenagers and kids haven’t fully developed the problem solving skills and shit to defend themselves yet.  both online and irl, it’s adults’ job to protect them and fill in the gap, and i hate that suggesting that sometimes it’s safer and healthier for kids to not interact with adults is always, every fucking time, met with a bunch of adults losing their fucking minds because how DARE 15 yr olds not wanna interact with me.  how DARE u call me predator.  this is about ME and my feelings and NEVER about the safety of children.
