My daughter wanted a birthday cake with...

(completely SFW, but if you're a hardcore Tolkien purist, you may find it unacceptable)

... Morgoth

Based on the funniest fanart of him I've seen.

(The Silmarils are yellow because they contain tumeric, to make them glow in uv light.)

The Great Cake Collapse: A Baking Fail to Remember

Write about your most epic baking or cooking fail. Introduction Baking has always been one of those comforting activities I enjoy, a creative outlet that usually brings joy and delicious treats. But every now and then, the kitchen gods conspire against me, and what should be a beautiful creation turns into a memorable disaster. My most epic fail in the kitchen? The time I tried to bake a��

How the Right Hashtags Can Turn Your TikTok into a Follower Magnet

You’ve probably heard that hashtags are “important” for TikTok growth. But let’s be real—throwing #viral on every video feels like shouting into a void. So, do hashtags actually help you gain followers, or is it just hype? The truth is, strategic hashtags work like magic… if you understand the psychology and algorithms driving them. Let’s break down how tags fuel follower growth, three key theories to master, and how tools like MythSocial can simplify the process (no PhD required).

Why Hashtags = TikTok’s Secret Traffic Lights

Imagine TikTok’s algorithm as a GPS: hashtags are the road signs telling it where to send your video. Use the right ones, and your content lands on the For You Page (FYP) of users who actually care. Use the wrong ones, and you’re stuck in a digital traffic jam.

Here’s the science:

Social Proof Theory: When users see a video with a popular hashtag (like #BookTok), they think, “Oh, this is trending—I should check it out!” It’s like choosing the busy ice cream shop over the empty one.

Long-Tail Keyword Effect: Niche tags (#PlantMomHacks vs. #Plants) attract super-specific audiences. These viewers are way more likely to follow you because you’re solving their exact problem.

Algorithm Trust: TikTok rewards videos that use relevant hashtags by pushing them to more users. Consistency here builds “trust” with the algorithm—like a teacher noticing you always do your homework.

3 Hashtag Hacks Backed by Science

1. Ride the Wave of “Cultural Capital” (But Don’t Drown in It)

Big trends (#CapCutTemplates) have massive reach, but everyone uses them. To stand out:

Mix trending + niche tags: #SummerOutfitIdeas + #ThriftStoreFinds.

Check MythSocial’s Trend Dashboard: It analyzes which tags are rising before they peak, so you’re ahead of the curve.

2. The 3-Second Rule of Hashtag Relevance

If your video shows a cat wearing sunglasses, but you use #FinancialFreedom, TikTok’s algorithm will ghost you. Keep tags hyper-relevant to:

Your content (what’s literally happening on screen).

Your audience’s identity (e.g., #ADHDLife for relatable humor).

Your niche’s language (e.g., gamers use #GG or #PCMasterRace).

3. The “Honeycomb Effect” for Community Building

Tags like #SmallArtistsSupport or #IndieAuthors connect creators and fans into tight-knit communities. These groups actively comment, share, and follow—because they want to belong.

MythSocial: Your Hashtag Lab Assistant (No Lab Coat Needed)

Let’s face it—manually tracking hashtags is like doing math homework without a calculator. MythSocial’s AI tools (which we tested) act like a cheat sheet for growth:

Tag Generator: Paste your video idea, and it suggests high-impact hashtags + explains why they work.

Engagement Analyzer: Shows which tags actually brought followers vs. just views.

Competitor Spy Mode: Peek at the tags similar creators are using successfully (ethically, of course!).

Example: A baking creator used MythSocial to find #CakeFail (a rising tag in food comedy) and gained 2K followers in a week by laughing at kitchen disasters.

WandaVision "Living in a Sitcom" Cake

(Minor spoiler alert)

Beat egg, milk, applesauce, oil --the usual recipe, the usual substitutions. Batter seems wet, did I add too much oil and applesauce? Ah, cook it a little longer, it should work out. Add 1 extra egg to make sure it sets, and a handful of chocolate chips. Everything is better with chocolate.

Check the box of cake mix for the time and temperature, set oven, set timer, scamper off to watch WandaVision episode 4. Monica is awesome! Oh Maria . . . nooooo.

Timer goes off, pause show, check cake, still too jiggly, set timer, return to show. It's Darcy! Darcy is awesome.

Timer goes off, pause show, check cake, still too jiggly, set timer, return to show. Jimmy is awesome! I had completely forgotten how much I love Jimmy. Did I love Jimmy? Nevermind, I do now. Oh wait, timer.

Cake looks puffy now, its not browning correctly, but it getting too brown around edges, take out to cool. Go watch rest of show. Oh, Wanda. Oh, Vision. Ohhhh. Show ends.

Discuss show excitedly with housemates. 

Slice cake.

Something . . . . something is wrong . . .

Did I leave something out?

This is a foolproof mix. I've done the "swap butter for oil and applesauce" dozens of times.

Pick up box to review instructions.

Review: Milk, eggs, oil . . . cake mix . . . . cake mix.

Cake mix.

The box I am holding is heavy . . . why?

Cake mix.

It is full of cake mix.

Unlike my cake.

The box isn't still sealed?

Yes. Yes it is.

I am blown through 2 walls, the neighbors' hedge and a forcefield.

I never . . . I never . . .

I never opened the box . . .

The bakery was supposed to make a Mario Kart cake for Allie and I. Guess they ran out of Mario Kart toppers so they just stuck on some Pokémon toys instead. Heh. #mariokart #pokemon #cakefails #cakesofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu-IuiXlzho/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1bh9wfy4e6wv
