#how do you tag on this hellsite

[audrelite]

To whoever wrote out the ENTIRE game script to The World Ends With You and put it on LJ over a decade ago, I hope life's treating you well.

But if anyone would like to like, script out Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky—Special Episodes to boot—I would literally do ANYTHING. Though of course, a game like that would be MUCH harder to transcribe as opposed to something like TWEWY but like... just sayin'...

Loz Hc/theory: a contributing factor to why botw/totk/hwaoc link is as much of a foodie as he is

(well other than bc of his great appreciation for different cuisines, and just for the sake of liking food)

Is because bullet time/focus is extremely taxing and takes a massive amount of energy to maintain

And thus has to eat more to keep up those energy reserves.

Kinda like how Barry Allen (the flash) has to eat more to compensate for the energy drain caused by his super speed

sometimes people will reblog things from you and theyll just use the same tags you used. which is both completely fine and also convenient and efficient. however sometimes those tags will be highly specific to you only. and sometimes someone will reblog your highly specific personal anecdotes that you put in the tags and you will look at them in your notes and go. i dont necessarily have a problem with this but i think maybe you are lying a little bit

Does the Kahoot theme apply at all to the upcoming chapter?

To some of it, certainly!

Some of it not, especially after A Point - but yeah lol, pretty accurate besides that 😂

Everyone's doing some THINKIN' there

(maybe some overthinkin' in places, heh - but honestly one really can't blame them 😂)

Poor SIkuna, man - Sweet Dreams were not made of this 😔😔😔(😂)

It's my 4 year anniversary on Tumblr 🥳

[internetgiraffekid1673]

Hey I know these problaby aren't the question you where thinking where gonna come up here but I have a couple rapped fire questions I don't know who to ask and your the only one who ever consistently comes into my page so here I go:

How does one game followers on this app because whenever I post something I feel like I'm just waiting my time cuz nobody ever sees the stuff I'm writing or making, and I know people say to just be who you are and do what you like but I've been doing that and I have a total of six followers (and in all honesty your the only person who ever interacts with my posts)

Is it better to just spew out content or space out posts? I have all these ideas and things I want to make and post but I feel like if I post over something it's gonna have an even smaller chance of being seen and that honestly hurts cuz I put allot of time and effort into my posts for literally no one to see them!

Okay I know that was a lot and I'm sorry but I just don't know how else to ask and you seem like you would know that kind of thing because you always get notes on your posts, if these are questions you can't or don't wanna answer that's obviously fine but If you do choose to answer I would really appreciate it since I'm new to this whole Tumblr thing and I have never had a platform like this.

Anyway I'm done rambling, answer or no answer thank you for your time and I just wanted to thank you for everything!

Ella Zimmerman

Hello! Dear friend! First of all, some bigger blogs don't mind signal boosting. You can drop an ask into the inbox of some of them and be like, "hey, do you think you could ask people to look at my art and/or writing? I'm having trouble finding people." Case in point: EVERYBODY GO FOLLOW @ellazimmermansblog , HER STUFF IS VERY COOL, SHE IS VERY FUNNY AND TALENTED, AND HER ART IS AMAZING! SHE MADE MY HEADER IMAGE!

I feel you on nobody interacting with your posts, it felt like a while before I found my people here! This is how I found them.

1) Follow other people. A lot of the followers I have are just my much cooler mutuals. Find someone who's blog you like. Follow them, interact with their posts, send them asks, that kind of thing. Just an example of the kind of asks you can send: I love OC content, and a lot of really cool people will happily infodump about their OCs if you ask them. A lot of people are happy to make friends. The way I find people to follow is part scrolling through tags for my interests, but also looking through likes and reblogged that were made on my own posts and seeing if I click with any of those folks.

2) Make fandom posts. Tumblr is a fandom website, and while I ADORE your original content, it is easier for people to find you through fandom and then get attached to your other stuff.

3) Be alright with screaming into the void. A lot of the time when I make posts, I'm not actually expecting anybody to interact with them, unless it's a fandom post. I'm kind of just screaming into the void. Sometimes I'll get pleasantly surprised and someone will interact with it, but my personal posts are all 0-3 note posts most of the time, while most of my fandom posts hover around 20ish and sometimes my posts "break containment," which I classify as anything over 50 notes (you can see which ones have broken for me in the top posts section).

4) Tag EVERYTHING. This one is annoying and boring and hard, but tags are how people see your posts. I spent a solid month just having an empty blog and stalking tumblr before I actually made a post, so I had a pretty good handle on what tags I should be using, because some of them aren't very intuitive. For example: I play wizard101 and that was one of the first posts I made where I found mutuals. Wizard 101 is tagged under #wizard101, #wizzy101, #wiz101, and #w101. That's FOUR different tags that people could be using, and if I wanted all of them to find that post, I had to use all four. Tumblr's auto-suggest tags are pretty helpful, but so is just scrolling through like a maniac.

(I also ramble in the tags of my posts. Just things I want to add that don't really belong in the main body of the post).

5) Post a lot. There are 2 types of people on this website: the people who are doing some kind of long-form project and don't really have time to make other posts, and the people who just post things and reblog things they like willy nilly. The long form project people also usually post their project on a side-blog and have a main account they use to still jabber and talk about stuff not related to it.

6) Reblog things. A LOT. Tumblr isn't really a "passive engagement" website. There's no algorithm on here. People prefer to curate their dashes very carefully based on the tags and the blogs they follow. So if you want to see more content for something you like, follow that person and reblog that post! ESPECIALLY posts that don't have very many notes, since those people are usually also looking for friends and engagement. You've probably noticed my blog is like 80% funny reblogs where I ramble in the tags and 20% my own nonsense.

7) And this last piece of advice is more for how to engage and less for how to get engagement yourself: find someone who is really bored and likes answering asks. They may not follow you back, but it'll be a fun conversation and way to engage and pass the time. I'm shy, so I look for people who are bored and have anons turned on like @call-me-chips (hope you don't mind the tag!) For people who are unaware, I am ALSO one of those people! Ask me questions! About anything! Even invasive ones! Including stuff I logically can't answer! Or just send me rants about things that you just want someone to hear! I love them! Send them as anons if you want! I don't care, I love talking to people on this website!

I hope this helps you find more of your people, and best of luck to you amigo! Remember to follow @ellazimmermansblog who I am tagging twice and praying that tumblr doesn't break for at least one of them!

It's again that time of the week where I have to go and report the spam and/or porn bots from the tags I follow because every time I see one of their posts on my dashboard I die inside a little bit

[tathrin]

Okay y'all I've seen this three times now, why are people just copying-over other folks tags when they reblog things now? And I don't mean using the same simple labels, I mean straight-up just copying whole-ass tag conversations/meta/jokes/etc.

What fresh hellsite hell is this?

[zmbienoir]

shoutout to millennial women still on tumblr, keep doin what you're doin, you're doin great

[lurkingteapot]

I feel you linger in the air หอมกลิ่นความรัก Ep 2

This continues to be a liiiittle slow at times, but when it flows? it FLOWS. Also it's very, very pretty still, the framing and the shots are really nice.

That getting changed montage was a work of art, but also: props to Jom; I did NOT manage to figure out how to put those trousers on the one time I had the chance and had to get help. And speaking of clothes, I cannot place this-- from Khun Yai's mother's clothes I'd expect maybe the 1920s or even the Khun Chaai era (30s/40s), but from everyone else's I'd say much earlier … otoh some of the women's skirts show their knees, so what gives? Did they tell us the year and I just missed it? ALSO. Why was James wearing this extremely sporty and informal cap to an event that is probably not at all informal or sporty???

Lots of familiar faces this episode – Mae Prik (Akk's mother in The Eclipse), Khamtip (Annie's mother in Mama Gogo, Ying in Step by Step), Khun Lek (young Nabsip in Lovely Writer, young Mew in UMG), James (hot-headed rugby player with the brow and the gun in Bad Buddy) …

Had a good laugh at the food sequence because a) not an unreasonable reaction on Jom's part b) I'd try all of that anyway and c) curried steamed pig brain sausage / แอ็บอ่องออ is what defeated Tian in ATOTS, too.

Sapphics!!! Nothing going on (yet) to support that hypothesis but I'm sticking with it for now. And Phueng gets to be surprisingly vicious and to-the-point with her husband – I was not expecting that.

I would not want to be in Ming's position. He just wanted to help and all the one he's helped is doing is getting into trouble, much of which reflects badly on Ming. Bet Ming is rueing the day he scraped Jon up from the riverside, poor kid. Good of him to be like "kid gloves are off, you're learning to row a boat yourself gdi".

Jom needs to get better at committing to the "I'm getting flashes of memories but none of them make sense" bit, and at reading the room – I get that this is all freaky as hell, but the way he would not back down with who he thought was Jeeb? Not cool. She was clearly scared and uncomfortable.

This show does a lot of the explaining to the audience stuff really well. I love the, whatsit, peekaboo framing? and also. Hope the piglet is SO cute. Help.

[moltengoldveins]

I said I would, so I did.

Is the first piece of fanart I did for this series a thirty minute sketch of a one-off side character? Yes. Am I ashamed? Not really. I really like the idea of a DJ mechanite. yes I kNOW he has a canon design that’s nothing like this. But Dom described HE-11 differently and I couldn’t stop thinking about daft punk so here we are.

[thefroggypond]

hello internet sillies !!

obligatory intro post for everyone.

i'm eddie, but you could also call me froggy! i’m the most fatherless father figure known to man.

i'm a silly neurodivergent fella who just likes to shout silly things into the void. i write on occasion, and even more rarely i'll do a bad art. but it's mostly just sillyposting here.

you can find good art over at @h0dgep0dgee !! her and i are like a couple of bonded cats. two agents of sheer whimsy.

i have a lot of interests and hyperfixations, all of which will probably be mentioned here at some point! but as of rn i have a few that i'm very fixated on !!

these includeeee:

• steam powered giraffe

• horror podcasts like the magnus archives and welcome to night vale

• welcome home

• ttrpgs

• musicals, and just theatre in general!!

•one piece

•voltron: legendary defender

and probably a lot more will be mentioned at times. i am but a hoarder of silly fun.

so, yeah. welcome to the silly zone. it's about to get so wacky in here !! (/ref. )

FANFIC AUTHOR DIED???

[degengxrl]

some of the worsts of ace discourse from someone who wasnt on tumblr when it was going on

allosexual is a slur (sounds familiar)

asexual offender

all asexuals are ‘mentally ill’ (umm yeah i wonder where they came up with that :/ fuck the DSM)

trans aroaces are “cishets”

asexie (a literal constructed slur :/)

calling aspecs plants amoeba robots aliens (not a new thing in the ace discourse era)

being told we arent oppressed (while being actively oppressed)

we were ‘privileged’ for being ace

ppl happily iding as “aphobic”

ugh

I FIGURED OUT A WAY TO STILL GET ONTO DIRECT POSTS ON BLOGS.

And since I’ve seen that many people seem very annoyed with this new feature of just directly transporting you to the beginning of someone’s blog when clicking a post, instead of letting you go to that post, which... also includes making the “prev” tag entirely useless because you can no longer click onto the user someone reblogged a post from to check that post on that person’s blog, I figured I’d post the way to work around it.

Obviously it’s not as easy as it used to be, but it’s steps I’m willing to take because I actually prefer and like to be able to do this.

The three button menu on every post pops open some options and - usually if it’s not your own post, set right at the top, and just above the terrifying “unfollow” option - is the “Copy link” option. Do that.

When you spit that link out in a new tab, it shows you the post in the ugly-ass centered view on your dash. Hate that. Nobody wants that. I want that on the blog.

So, for that, we just gotta switch the link around a li-ittle bit.

You replace the “www” part with the blog’s name and replace the blog’s name with “post” and keep every other part and you will be transported to that specific post, on that user’s blog, from where you can then also click and navigate to the post on the blog they reblogged from without problem.

Is it unnecessarily complicated compared to the one-click it used to take? Yes.

Does it work? Yes.
