i've been trying to Do Tumblr Correctly and only Like posts so I can return later and Reblog them but I don't remember to do the Reblogging and some of the Likes were just in case I did so my Likes page is as unhelpful as it was before but now I also feel the loss of Liking things just to show whoever posted it that that I saw it.

Also I must say I am, in general, not a fan of the Tumblr Use Rules that you only find out about when people tell you off for not following them.

#i saw someone blame AO3 non-commenting on tumblr's “DO NOT add your thoughts to the OP except in tags!” rule once #which apparently teaches The Youth Of Today that their thoughts are not wanted and will only annoy the OP? idk does it? TELL ME O YOUTHS!!#that said the person who reblogged and added that they can't find Fucked Up Shit on AO3 when looking in the wrong tags #is less irritating than the HUNDREDS of people who have since reblogged to point out their mistake in the tags #wish someone would reblog and tell them that ON THE POST so i could have peace (hang on I could do that myself couldn't i?)#probably too late now anyway - too many versions without that addition to reblog and tag with “lol skill issue” LIKE EVERYONE ELSE DID #...sorry i clearly have something here i need to work through #mostly my fear of making Popular Tumblr Posts (“popular” here means > 100 notes btw)#they never die you know! five years later they will reactivate and your notifications will fill up all over again! oh what a lark!#:|#tumblr
