#assuming you are not a bot
Explore tagged Tumblr posts

Hey there! Given that I signed up for my blog over ten years ago, when things were very different, I unfortunately have no idea what things are like now, sorry!
But wanted to mention that you yourself also look like a bot (hence why I didn't respond directly to your ask, and am instead answering via screenshot). Assuming you are a real person and not a new weird bot, I would very strongly recommend doing the following things so other Tumblr users don't accidentally block you!
Change your icon from the default one. Just use anything else as a placeholder for now! I recommend something unique to you, such as a photo of your pet, or idk, take a picture of your favorite pen or snack or something.
Write something in your bio! List your fandoms/hobbies, or even just "I'm new here and figuring stuff out" etc
Make a post or reblog some! Empty blogs look like bot blogs, and we have no way of knowing when you made your account. Just a brief self-intro elaborating more on your fandoms/interests (no word count limit! go wild!), photo of your pet, or reblogging from other users using the two arrows circling button 🔄. You're very welcome to reblog from me!
(note, reblogging is very different from reposting/reuploading. The former is where you use the reblog button/function to share other Tumblr users' posts onto your own blog. Creators generally love this, as it helps boost our own posts, and all credit, likes, shares, etc will come back to us! Reposting/reuploading is when you save work that isn't yours to your device, and create a brand new post. This doesn't link to anyone, and is theft, and hurts creators. Don't do this!)
I hope this information was helpful to you, and if you have any other questions, I'm happy to help!
❀ ❀ Send YukiPri an Ask! ❀ ❀

https://www.tumblr.com/louisupdates/754934426217152513/goodbye-faith-in-the-future-world-tour-272024?source=share
did he or did he not lose fans then?
I will answer this because this anon actually brings a concrete question to the table rather than just "hurhur but you're a larrie??" (tell me you can't actually refute any of our points…). Anyway this post shows the decrease in Louis instagram followers between the screenshots taken directly after the release of Faith in the Future in Nov '22, when he changed his bio to promote that album and the tour tickets, and now, when he changed it again to mention the current release. But I'm putting that response under a cut because I'm tired of the actual POINT of all this nonsense getting lost in a sea of made up things people insist are important:
There is no rational argument you can make to say that Louis has less fans now than he did 2, 4, or 6 years ago. You don't need a spreadsheet of details you need to USE YOUR EYES! He has gone from filling theaters to filling arenas and stadiums. His second album made a higher chart position than his first album. His festival has doubled in size EVERY year of its existence. And for that matter: his insta post engagement numbers remain about the same (despite the fact that older posts should have way MORE likes due to having been there longer, even aside from follower counts.) SO WHO FUCKING CARES ABOUT HIS INSTA FOLLOWER NUMBER???? Serious question: what does the word "fans" mean if these things aren't what matters? ALL of this quibbling about what he should do to make things better and people can't even see that THINGS AREN'T BAD.
Anyway to address the specific question- (con't......)
NO- HE DID NOT LOSE FANS. HE LOST SOME INSTA FOLLOWERS. THESE ARE NOT THE SAME THING. As I said above, literally what does it mean to lose fans if that number change coincides with him having higher sales, more audience members, and higher engagement than ever before? Whatever he lost ISN'T FANS. I wouldn't be surprised if a significant factor was something like a bot purge, but also yes: I'm sure a lot of casuals followed him around the time of his big album release and later unfollowed him. That's extremely normal because that's how casual engagement works, and why the definition of fan really matters. Louis and his team understand this and have referenced it repeatedly, talking about how lucky he is to have *us* specifically, to have the kind of dedicated fanbase he has, to have the KIND of fans he does who will allow him to do what HE wants. @dogsliampaynedoesntinstagram named the issue of depth vs breadth with regard to fans a long time ago, and pointed out why having DEPTH is so much more important. It's like this- artists who are on top 40 radio have more numbers on things like insta follows, and for a time on sales and tickets. But those aren't FANS- they're people with a casual interest. And as soon as that person isn't being forced in their ears 10x a day, those people lose interest and stop supporting them, stop buying stuff and unfollow, and those artists end up doing the 'opener on the jingle ball' circuit rather than their own tours. One Direction as a whole, and Louis maybe most of all or near to at this point, have something MUCH MORE VALUABLE than that- DEPTH FANS. Louis has fans who will support him even if he takes years to release music, or stops parading around with a pretend girlfriend to stay in the headlines at least once a month, or completely changes his image and genre, and that is UNHEARD OF. It's ASTONISHING and worth SO MUCH MORE. And they get that! THAT is why he always bragging about us, why industry people he works with are always so agog about us, why he will do anything for US- not for randos. He is also growing his breadth- and it's OBVIOUSLY WORKING whatever his follower counts are, but that is always going to be secondary to doing things for THE FANDOM because that is his sustainable business model. That is what keeps him onstage and reaching number one. And not coincidentally, the things they do are also working to grow that- much more valuable- commodity. So the fact that that's exactly what these chuckleheads complain about- that he does things that are just fandom facing or serving rather than everything being aimed at recruiting casual fans- does nothing but betray how completely they, unlike Louis and his team, misunderstand the actual drivers of his (actual, existing, happening) success. Luckily for Louis, he and his team rely on their own data harvesting (they do a LOT of it) and growth metrics (they're off the charts) rather than the smug assumptions of random (mostly quite new to this) fans and the few bitter people leading the complaining about everything Louis does.
#louis promo#all this nonsense about this tag or that tag or this or that number is so getting lost in the trees#when the forest is RIGHT HERE: WHAT THEY ARE DOING IS WORKING#so for now#I'm pretty done with this discussion unless someone actually engages meaningfully with the content of anything I'm saying#rather than just repeating the same things- but he needs to tag more! or the even more boring-#but you're a larry! if you send me a bitchy response that doesnt actually address any points I've made#I will assume it is because I'm right and you have no rebuttal other than to act like a preschooler because deep down you know it#honestly the discourse around this makes me feel a little sad and scared about the state of literacy and reading comprehension#and just general analytical thinking#but I hope its just that no one over 15 spends their time sending hate anons about fandom#if I'm wrong please come engage in actual conversation! but otherwise... let's just... not#blah blah blah#anyway there's a reason Louis is always so afraid no one will be there for him and that he started out solo era playing those radio fests..#because we are IMPROBABLE we are UNBELIEVABLE we are NOT SOMETHING YOU CAN EXPECT OR COUNT ON#and making nurturing and maintaining that his number one priority ALWAYS is extremely correct and smart#actually#I was originally going to be like here are when there were bot purges here are other artists that have seen numbers go down etc#but then I was like WAIT WHO CARES. You're letting these people dictate the conversation... but the premise is stupid#it DOESNT MATTER#depth v breadth

Just an idea for TDSB, you should give the pigeons more uses. Like what if they drop first aid materials to civilians in need, or what if they work as carrier pigeons sometimes. Pigeons are also really good at navigation, so it would be really cool if the pigeons were able to act as a gps of sorts. Another cool idea would be a whistle for tim that he can use to call any nearby robot pigeons to himself. ANOTHER other cool idea would be if he had actual pigeons that he trained to camouflage the robot ones better.
I love the robot pigeons they are so cool.
Wouldnt' you know I actually do have a lot of fun little feature sto the pigeons and other birds, including the ones who *arent* robots
Some of these are definently going on the list though
Of course I try and stay away from info dumps since I always get distracted from narrative and my word count is a testiment enough to how me "holding back" is nessicary to be in any way cohesive.
BUT As more Cardinal & his Flock scenes come into play, youll get to see all the little ways they help carry the load which would normally be reserved for an entire team of people.
#and thank tumblr!!#I did not plan on robo birds#but the robin and cardinal??#so many people assumed they were bots#I went#“fuck it you want robots”#and now look where we are#tim drake#the drakes spoiled brat#sunny asks#ty for the ask!!#PIGEONS!!

i personally don’t agree with your statement what you’re expected to reblog. i thought i could just use this app for fun and to read about my fav artists without being expected to do anything, and never really planned on being active and making reblogging a routine parr of my reading experience
then i guess you're not really aware with how this app works. tumblr is a reblogging site. that's the only way posts, or in this case fics, can get around and reach new audiences. the algorithm doesn't care aboit likes. tumblr doesn't care about comments (but i appreciate those as well!!)
if you enjoy and have fun reading the works of authors who spend hours of their days making content for you to consume, don't you think the bare minimum you can do is click that tiny button at the bottom of the post to show your appreciation, no?
#never too late to add reblogging to your reading experience!!!!#i've been on this platform for years now and the number of authors—friends—i've seen leave this site and quit writing bcs of the lack of#interaction. lack of feedback they get from their readers is more than i can count on my fingers!!!#tldr. reblogging supports content creators. if you can't even do that then this isn't the platform for you.#(and would just like to clarify for the general public— i won't block you just bcs you don't reblog /my/ works.#if your blog is empty i'd simply assume no one uses it/is a bot/doesn't know how to use this dammed app

It makes me so deeply upset that people don’t seem to be able to let two ideas coexist. Yeah, the US is an imperialistic state thats only interested on getting more power and will destroy any country from the inside just to get it. And Maduro’s also a horrible fucking dictator who doesn’t give a shit about his country or the people living it, an illegitimate figure and also a fucking lunatic. He did say free palestine, but let me ask you something: do you actually think he cares??? do you actually think he’s doing something??. Apparently fucking hitler could say free palestine and you fucking performative activists and pretend communists would run to his defense. and also:
YOUR VOICE DOESNT MATTER MORE THAN VENEZUELAN VOICES, SHUT THE FUCK UP
#coming from a queer venezuelan AND leftist#i know hitler and maduro are not comparable I’m just upset okay#also Im not a cia bot and if you think that you’re literally racist and xenophobic#why do you assume that when a venezuelan speaks english that means we are cia bots#do you think we are not intelligent enough?#interesting#maduro coño de tu madre#venezuela#all eyes on venezuela#venezuelan rights#venezuelan politics#free palestine#free venezuela#leftist politics#latam#leftism#text

Another day, another barrage of DMs and comments being like:
"Why did you make Uzi black?"
"Since when is Uzi black?! WTF?!" You know....it's sad that I GENUINELY thought ppl would be smart enough to remember that her father's name is Khan and thus put two and two together regarding her origins....
...Ah well.....
#destiny talks#i know i ranted about this before but i'm STILL getting messages#by all means if you want to draw uzi black please do it!! we need all the uzis!#however i do get annoyed that folks see a brown character and assume like that#plus....again.....they alllllll seem to conveniently forget her father's name lmao#and they call themselves fans @_@ apparently#to clarify most of these comments are on insta#and reddit but yeah still getting DMs about this jfc#i did delete a few cause it was getting too repetitive and some honestly felt like trolls/bots so i wanted to be careful

Really curious to know where in the heck people got this "Caine is an old man" thing from
#rambles#Really. Where is this information from. I know gooseworx revealed all of the humans' ages but there is nothing on Caine or any of the AIs#It makes sense why that is because he's a frickin BOT. Are you going to tell me chatGPT is a middle aged man??#But sure he has a “coded age” or whatever; let's entertain the thought.#He clearly reads as an adult. But OLD???#What supports this???? We don't know how much time people have been in the Digital Circus or how long it has existed#“Years” is too damn vague. There is no specific sense for the passage of time#There's no way to determine his age that way#He could very well be younger than everyone in that place#Then is it his mannerisms??? HE'S A FREAKIN RINGMASTER#Are people just collectively assuming Caine is old just because????#I haven't found ANY basis for this ANYWHERE. GODDD#And it's annoying especially when people use this to justify antagonizing shippers#end rant#*hits edit button* AND ANOTHER THING#Look. Even if Caine IS old. That's okay#Everyone in the show is canonically an adult#I'm just baffled at this because people assume it's an absolute truth when we just. don't know.

I'm honestly fully ready to just call my bank and tell them to do a chargeback but i'm giving the college bureaucracy a chance first. But as i said. I don't care who does it and how i get it, those €80 are gonna be back in my bank account by the end of october or so help me
#i didn't even tell youse about the fun i had at the student office#i got there i asked the guy at the counter what's happening with my enrolment process bc it has been on ''process has started'' for a week#and then some. this guy tells me they're testing a bot or whatever that automatically ''starts'' the process when the payment has been#received. so i'm like okay wtf. he goes to check my request manually but i notice he's looking at the one with a page of text#and that's my second request where i explained i want my money back so i go hey hey hey that's actually my refund request#this man goes and asks why i enrolled if i hadn't had all my exam grades marked yet#i look this man in the eye and say ''i wanted to ensure i'd be enrolled on time'' and he goes quiet#because i'm assuming he realised i tried to enrol the very day enrolments opened and here i was two days before they closed in the#student office asking wtf was happening to my enrolment process#so anyway. he goes and tells me i need to cancel my enrolment and enrol again and that he'll forward my refund request but can't#guarantee anything. and i'm like sure fine but now my scholarship page says i don't have to pay anything#so like whatever decision you lot make my bank is gonna know i made a payment i didn't have to make#and that if you refuse to refund me i'm getting a chargeback. so you know.#in any case i did all i could to make sure i was enrolled on time and still had to be on edge bc i had to restart the process two days#before the enrolment period ended. i deserve those €80 and then some

Completely unrelated to like, everything you've spoken about today, but. Was wondering if you have any tips for writing n such? I wanna try writing, but I never know how to flesh out an idea 😓 Love you n all your work btw!! One of the main reasons I got Tumblr (I thank you for introducing me to this wonderful world of writers, artists, and bot creators🙏)
reading! reading is everything. and for fear of sounding like a pretentious dickhead i have to preface to get better at anything you need to surround yourself by people and media that is better than you. so read good books. great books. certifiably wonderful books. not just anything you can get your hands on, because time is incredibly valuable. read/write constantly. i’m at my own baby stages of writing so i lack any advice i could give you in full confidence other than this as a fundamental. it’s impossible to get better at writing without reading.
#not that you can’t read for enjoyment!!! not at all!!!! good writing is and should be enjoyable.#important to get out of your comfort zone in writing also#don’t force yourself into dostoevsky or camus if you’re not into that. contemporary classics exist too don’t ever forget#experiment! don’t pigeonhole yourself. i’m assuming you’re talking about fiction#writing smut and doing bots is kind of like my break

I'm doing something right!
I got 4 follows in the last 24 hours, and NONE of them were bots. That is a very rare occurrence.
#whenever I get a cluster of follows#I assume the bots are back#because they usually are#but you guys SEEM like right thinking cass fans#if I had to guess#welcome!
