#i might rb my gifs and stuff here too just so i have a working archive in case this happens again

[pseudowho]

hiya 🙂 i love your nanamin fics and i followed you for them way back when you wrote the pregnant reader one (and I still think about it). thought id ask you cos you seem to answer questions like this pretty wisely 🥲

i started writing fics for a pretty niche character in a fandom (not jjk) a while back and a friend/moot started then too. this character doesnt have lots of readers and thats fine im just here for the writing.

but since then ive noticed my friend has stopped reblogging my fics even tho they did before and even tho they obvs read and reblog everyone elses fics for this character (there really arent many of us).

they also seem upset about notes/likes a lot of the time. but I know they read my fics because I see lots of the same word choices and styles show up in their fics the next time they post.

its upsetting me lot tbh. i still read, like/comment/rb fics i like and its starting to feel like they do it because they think i have more readers than they do and mb theyre jealous.

anyway i dunno if you think i should raise it with them or just leave it?? they dont talk to me much anymore either after I didnt rb one of their fics i didnt really love.

First of all, well done for starting to write, and writing for an 'unpopular' character too, it looks like it's hard having a niche audience in the Tumblr-sphere. I'm always really grateful when someone writes for a niche character I love, every fic is like finding a diamond!

Second of all: I'm really really sorry this is happening to you. It has happened and still happens to me, too.

Thirdly: While I'll give my thoughts on it straight after this, one truth is that the other person maybe simply doesn't like your writing, and there's nothing mean-spirited about it at all.

Saying this, in your case, there seem to be too many little factors that actually makes me think... 👇

I have Thoughts™️💬 about Toxic Tumblr Reblog Culture...

There is a little phenomenon I've noticed with a lot of fic writers, where they seem to stop reblogging the fics of others who they view as competition. Even if they often read and reblogged another writer's fics before they themselves started writing.

They seem to think that if they reblog the work of you, their "competitor", then your work will get more attention than theirs. It gets even worse the more 'popular' you get, sadly.

I understand, because it's hard to see someone reblog most other peoples' fics about a character, and then pointedly ignore yours. You're not mad for feeling targeted. It can feel this way.

Equally, there can be a cherry-picking of moots' work, and a high school clique attitude to reblogging. Do two or three people band together and constantly reblog each others' work, making a huge fuss whatever it is, but leave you out even though you've historically been part of the circle before? Again, it's not as uncommon as you think.

A real "if we become moots, that means I reblog all your stuff, and you reblog all my stuff" as an unspoken rule. While that might work nicely for some people, it can also foster an air of pressure or entitlement, or of reblogging things even if you didn't really like them, because they're your friend. While fostering growth and circulation in the art community should be celebrated, I'd hate to think someone reblogged my work out of obligation, as opposed to passion.

I've had followers who loved my stuff, always commented and reblogged etc, but when they started writing for the same characters themselves, just stopped. I've also noticed a lot of the things you mention (them using similar word choices, stylistic choices etc to mine, in their new fics).

So, you know they're there reading in the background, and it doesn't make sense that they liked your writing one day, then just stopped liking it overnight, right?

I don't often muse aloud about "controversial" subjects on Tumblr, but this one really gets me. It turns writing, an already isolating art, into an even more isolating "competition".

It's sad, really.

Saying that, I still read, comment, reblog all the work of theirs that I read and love! It feels petty and ridiculous, but try to be the person that you want to see in the community. They'd probably notice they still get just as many readers as before, and actually, will be forced to address that their writing may be less popular for another reason.

I have wonderful friends here who read and reblog any of my stuff they like, just as I do theirs. I made a post a little while back, r.e. always reblogging stuff just because you're moots, and I'm glad to say I don't have this strange entitled relationship with these friends. It's low pressure and really fun.

Reblog in the best spirit; reblog stuff you love, that you think is great, etc etc. Don't fall into bad intentions! It's meant to be fun. It's not high-stakes. What are people competing about? I feel really bad for you, OP, and I know what it feels like.

Jealousy in the Tumblr fic writer community is strong!

Hang in there baby. You're doing great.

Hiii I’m Beau and this is my intro post! My full name is Robert Beau Farley, sometimes funnily shortened as Robeau (that’s where my username comes from!). I’m 18, I use he/him pronouns, AND I’m a rat dad 🐀🐀💛 Here is my meet the artist sheet if you want to know a bit more about me!!! Just some fun facts and stuff (๑>؂•̀๑)

First and foremost, this blog is 100% sfw and child-friendly!!!

My dream is to become a freelance children’s illustrator and make art for kidlit books! I mean, there’s still a long way to go, but I just want to spread positive messages and kindness around the world. To me, it’s a way of activism, and just a way to make the world a better place. Also, I make silly art. That’s… part of my job too, actually!

I stand for pacifism, eco activism, lgbtq+ rights, feminism, moral veganism and abolitionism :) This might sound complicated but essentially, once again, I just want to make the world a kinder place!!! If you are interested in the vegan movement in particular, here are some great vegan resources posted by acti-veg <3 also, AGAIN if you’re interested, I’m very gently asking you to see this post pretty please.

And finally. If you like my work, please consider interacting with my blog! It might not seem like much, but it will help more people see my art and eventually help me find commissioners to pay off my bills and make a living. Thank you for all your support!!!!!! ( ͈ര ̫ര ͈) ♡ ⊹`𓈒

I reblog other people’s art through my other blog, @robeaus-rbs! If you see me interacting w your art, please know that you’re an amazing artist and I love your work <3 keep it up, you’re awesome! As for that blog, although it is completely sfw in nature I might sometimes reblog posts with swear words and art that shows non-sexual artistic nudity so keep that in mind! Filter out "cw nudity" if it makes you uncomfortable.

btw I have a Pinterest acc where I post my art as well :) it’s @/robeaufarley but I’m also attaching the link

Take care. Peace <3 💚

hello, friends! my name is rachel + i'm a secular eclectic witch. i'm very new to witchery; only been actively dabbling and learning for just over a year now. i'm a big fan of the "fuck around" method so i've been trying a little bit of everything to see what works for me. i like to be really open in my methods so i'll definitely be reblogging a variety of things. (even stuff i don't necessarily buy into atm.)

this is my lil space for reblogging interesting witchcraft-related posts. i might have some original posts every so often, but since i'm so new, i don't really feel comfy sharing a whole lot about my personal practice just yet. i'm still building my UPG over here so at most i might post a bit about tarot readings or spells i've tried.

i will go ahead and leave a warning that i do use the term "magick". i know there are a lot of thoughts around this spelling, but i want to assure everyone that i'm aware of the origins and aware that aleister crowley was a huge piece of shit; however, i'm partial to the spelling as a distinction so i'm claiming it. it's mine now. (i respect all the different ways that others practice their form of witchcraft so i ask for the same. 💜)

i do try my best to stay away from closed practices tho so if you see me reblog something questionable, i would def appreciate a friendly notice about it. (plz remember that i'm new here + doing my best!)

thanks for visiting! 💜

(p.s. i do block bigots! :) )

Hello Dev 💛🥹

How are you doing? I hope honestly that you’re doing good because you deserve it. 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

So I’ve made it my mission to spread some of my love and appreciation to all my favorite writers (which you are one of clearly) for the work u put in creating stories that make me very happy. I literally have a list full of names, that sounds crazy, but I promise it’s nothing weird I’m just trying to keep track 🫠😅

Before I get into my mission, I have to say something else. I think it’s really fucking terrible of people to steal writers work and then go around and trying to manipulate the writer to believe they actually stole first like the audacity to gaslight wtf. I’ve seen one too many times that an incredible writer gets their hard work just copied and there’s so little you can do about that and then the people who steal are so fucking mean. I get it writing is hard and sometimes you look at other peoples stuff to see how they write to get creative juices flowing but you don’t just straight up copy it I mean, I would ask for writing advice or idk, anything but plagiarism….there’s so many people who love that writers work and they will notice when that writing shows up somewhere else and then you have a lot of people on your ass rightfully so for stealing. And now that I’ve actually started to write something myself, I feel like I can understand it a little more because if I just try to imagine that somebody would take this story and try to sell it as their own when it is literally my story like actually my story, this is my life experience written in a story and you’re trying to sell that as your own, I would go ballistic I would, I would be very mad. Let’s just say that. 💀

Dev I’m truly so sorry that happened to you 💛

Well, enough of that let’s get into the good stuff 😚😚

I am pretty sure I found my way here because somebody else (I don’t remember who anymore🫣) rb your story “by the grit of Sandpaper” and it absolutely peaked my interest. I mean basically anything with Joel Miller peaks my interest, but you know. 😉💛 Sadly though I did not get around to reading it yet. I’ve kind of also been putting it off because I want to read it and then immediately let u know what I think. If the memory is still fresh, then my thoughts are much better articulated if that makes sense. Here’s the thing I’m trying to write my own first story and simultaneously i have a lot on my other list of stuff that I really want to read or reread and it’s a little overwhelming, but I’m trying to work my way through that and let me tell you when I get to your stories you will definitely see me scream in a very loving way for sure. 😅💛

I think you’ll probably see me scream even before that because one of my other mission is to engage more and be more mindful of the fact that there are people writing the stuff that I love, so please know that you should never feel pressured or forced to get a chapter or story out as quick as possible. I will wait however much time it takes because in the end, it’s absolutely worth it.

Ok one last thing (this is already so long I’m sorry 🥺) I know everyone on here is literally a person like me and everyone is just writing their silly little stories but I look up to so many and it feels like interacting with a celebrity, I hope that doesn’t sound weird. I might also feel like that because I’m a very secluded person like I talk to 2 people in my day-to-day life, I definitely talk more to my plants than anyone else 😅 🫣🥴

Dev u made my morning with making us mutuals I squealed like a little girl seeing the notification, does that make us friends (?). I mean the love for Pedro already connects us🥹

I would love to know, since ur a cat mom, what kind of cats u have and how many 😍

And since u like to bake I’m interested to know what’s ur favorite thing to bake 👩‍🍳🧁🥯🎂🍰🍪🍩

I hope u have fantastic day and take care of yourself Dev 💛🫶🏻

i love that you've made it a personal mission to brighten everyone's days with your lovely self!! only a truly good person would even think to do it and i love you for that. the discourse has been insane this year and trying to combat it is an admirable notion, thank you for your kind words on the really shitty instance of my fics getting stolen not once but twice, really ♡

take your time working through your TBR, bb, i know mine is about a mile long lol. fics seem to call on us when we're ready and in a good place to accept them, so i trust in the waiting process c: i

i hope youre writing is going well and that the words are flowing, you got this!! i can't wait to read what you have to share with us

of course we're friends, bb, we always were even if we just didn't know it yet ♡♡

i've got four fur babies! two tabby brothers, a flully void, and a fluffy tortie, they are my world even if they don't let me sleep much these days as they get used to their new home

and my absolute faaaavorite thing to bake is cookies! they're so versatile and there's so many choices for fillings from chocolate chips to macadamia nuts c:

hope the days are good to you, ily ♡

Self Inserts

All of my inserts use any pronouns while i usually default to he/they for them

My Eto Ranger self insert is Cabbage! He's shipped with Kirinda/Lydia. he's a...janitor i suppose? its his job to keep the ship and common area clean. he's super antisocial but enjoys speaking to kirinda while cleaning because it's less stressful than talking face to face with a living person. He falls HARD for that robot and their relationship begins before kirinda gets his physical body back but cabbage certainly enjoys the goofball regardless of form

My One Piece self insert is Karma! He's shipped with Law and sometimes the heart pirates in general as a polyship. Hes the user of the ryu ryu no mi model chameleon. He joined the crew a little after Sabaody after stowing away. He's kind of a menace but hes their menace. hes really bad at his job because he doesn't have the skills to utilize his fruits powers correctly. Law unfortunately sympathizes with them having childhoods that parallel at points. I do not have a self insert that i ship with Deuce. I have delusions about being Ace and we were partners

My GoBB self insert is named Eddie! Theyre an anteater who was made to work with disabled children and theyre shipped with Banban! I hope that doesnt sound weird I was in and out of sped classes as a kid so I wanted to reflect that.

My Kamen Rider self insert is Jules! They're shipped with Kaito and are a member of team baron. They dont really have any lore yet except for hardcore yearning lol. Might make them a rider too?

My Supernatural self insert is Voltaire!!! Hes shipped with Rowena hes a nachzehrer and certified menace. His ass should be dead but free will keep him alive bc hes Rowenas little play thang and keeps her slightly in line. Not by much. His heads so empty only thoughts of his pack and beautiful older women

My Bugsnax self insert is Sunnie Cuteloop theyre a magician! They heart Shelda we love faking magic. Two dif kinds of magic but you know.

My Pokemon self insert is currently unnamed and shipped with Olympia! They're also a magician I swear im not unoriginal I just do magic irl. They're the child of Hocus from the Oblivia region but moved to Kalos to pursue their career. They want to separate from their father and aim to be a better magician than he ever was.

My Invader Zim self insert is Tiere Ley a vortian scientist. They've been with Lard Nar since before the war but didn't officially get together till the Resisty was formed.

heehee hoohoo funny pinned post

˖◛⁺⑅ welcome to my account!

i post my art and reblog stuff here so my account is a whole mumble jumble of stuff i like. however, you can search for “kgbarts” on my account if you want to set that mumble jumble aside or mute the term “reblog” i don’t know how tumblr works i hope it hides the posts please give me an insight on that as i migrated from the horrid sites of twitter, tiktok and youtube comment sections

˖◛⁺⑅ more stuff abt me

hi i’m aurora! or emy, both names r ok hwe hwe

you can find me on twitter as @/kgborange which is where i frequent the most

i’m a cuban aroflux demigirl (tme) and i draw! other non-fandom interests/stuff i like are gawking at ruffles in clothing, ANYTHING music related (including rhythm games!), social aspects of geography and retrofuturism (mainly in graphic design and fashion) (i am one big design nerd. and a nerd in general)

as my bio states (sometimes, i change it a lot :)) i’m in a lot of fandoms! the two fandoms i’ve stayed in for a while have been sky: children of the light and touhou project, i get into yet another fandom every few months or so but these two have stayed (touhou since oct 2020, sky since like 2020 (sanctuary) but got rlly interested during april 2022) 

as of now i also like my singing monsters and plants vs zombies! the msm brainrot is taking over me as of now but do know that i’ll occasionally post/rb about the fandoms mentioned here or even some i’m not into

my username pretty much shows that i have based my entire online presence in the touhou fandom off of being annoying about kogabanki!!!!!!!! /hj my brain has been rotting over these damn touhous for 2+ years and i still love them with all my heart!!!! expect seeing them a bit on my blog lmao :)

i don’t speak a lot of spanish online (even less on tumblr) but i might leave a few blurbs every once in a while. (🇨🇺‼️‼️)

i ask that you do not follow/interact if you or your account falls under:

- proship/comship/anti-anti/”problematic” (i do not participate in this kind of discourse, i just ask to not interact with my account ^^)

- terf

- nsfw account (feel free to reblog my art, just don’t follow) (i’m a minor, please keep this in mind while interacting or not) (interacting on an alt would be appreciated too!! :’’)

nd i think that’s all! enjoy looking at this account, go drink some water and i’ll see you soon!!!!!!

[3amsnek]

yeah. the ratios are physically painful to look at at this point and it rly does get even more obvious the bigger the post gets (these are some of my biggest ones from different points- a couple fandoms & one original thing. all but the oldest & biggest specifically say in the post not to like it without reblogging.). it’s so insanely discouraging to see this everywhere & the collective artist community on here has been Begging people to listen for so long and they just. won’t.

this isn’t tiktok or instagram- and that’s a Good Thing. there’s no algorithm here, just you. and if you want us to keep making stuff & to keep this site Alive you have GOT to start reblogging art.

“Art ratios can’t be that bad nowadays 🥺” GIRL.
