#never expected this many followers

[yurimartyr]

between today and yesterday I have lost one follower, r.i.p. whomever you were i hope you're alright. also this means that my main has 309 more followers than @audreys-silly-reblogs instead of 310, which sucks. oh yeah how the fuck do I have over 300 more followers on my main than on the blog I reblog most things to. or at least try to. I'm not very good at reblogging to my sideblog for reblogs. fuck having an aesthetic I fucking change it too often anyway. may or may not stop using @audreys-silly-reblogs sometime. we'll see. go follow it in the meantime if you want to see things I like slightly less than the stuff I reblog to here.

One day I’ll go through med school and then I’ll go through residency and then I’ll go through a fellowship and then I’ll be the most crybaby neurosurgeon you could think of. Bursting into tears if I so much as graze ur hypothalamus with my forceps

might start working on another sim dump for my next follower milestone 🫶🏻

"likes don't do anything" they do

"there's no algorithm" there is

"well nobody uses the for you tab" I do

"reblog all art and fics you see" there's no thought put into that. if this does work on people, then it's just pity engagement borne out of guilt rather than genuine interest, which is arguably worse than having none, because it's totally hollow.

Hey everything is getting so crazy and infuriating so I'm making a lot of posts about gentile antisemitism and I just wanted to say that to my like 5 or 6 gentile followers who actually reblog this stuff despite the inevitable backlash and ostracization that comes with being associated with Jews nowadays, I see it and I really really really REALLY appreciate it. Beyond what I can really articulate.

btw I've changed url and avatar, I hope this isn't too confusing - one of my followers of many years has recently started using a very similar url/pfp to my usual one & is posting in very similar fandoms, and I was getting confused, especially when reblogging their awesome content! I know thylaa has been my url for a long time and on several platforms so again, I hope it's not too confusing for everyone.

i posted what i thought was just going to be a little silly funny tiktok thinking it was only going to get a couple hundred views like every other video ive ever posted but it currently has 670k views and counting and any time i go on the app, even if i only leave for a few seconds, i will have 99+ notifications again. this is a bad day to not be making money from tiktok, cuz i wouldve made a couple hundred by now.

Ahhh ok see now this makes sense. So those biased against writers who don't read aren't only mad cause you are insulting the art in itself, they are also mad because they think that means you refuse to support other writers but expect massive support in return. Well personally, even when I was in the community, I was trying to support writers who had stories I liked. I was pushing myself cause their stories were interesting to me AND because i wanted to return the support. I did the support for support thing too in my first run and frankly that gave me a few readers too besides followers, but when I focused more on following stories I actually enjoyed on my second run, I got no new readers. Followers don't necessarily mean people will read your story unfortunately.

But that experiment aside, just liking and reblogging stuff but know nth about your work when they are asked about it shows me most people support back only to return the favor. And this is a big reason I got tired of trying and putting so much energy into this. Cause sure we can talk about our wips all day, but it saddens me when I take my time to remember parts of your story or your chars and you don't remember shit from mine so, at the end of the day, my being tired of trying to read more when I am personally not into reading just in order to belong and people to give a chance to my work doesn't look selfish at all to me.

To this day people still buy books of people they never met or talked to, so I aspire to be this type of author that got readers because they liked my story, not because they knew me in person or because they wished to return the favor for the times I supported them. I want to be judged based on what I write, not whether or not I support someone back enough for them to give me a chance.

OMG WITHOUT GIVING AWAY ANY SPOILERS WHAT HAS BEEN YOUR FAVORITE PART ABOUT DOING PIP IN TIME? 😁😄😃😀

This project has been so much fun, from designing the layouts, figuring out juicy plot points and weaving them into a bigger narrative or just indulging in my wittebane brain rot but thinking about characterization makes me absolutely feral (actual discord message shared above). The show only gives us snippets of who Phillip and Caleb were at this age so there's a lot of room to decide what makes them tick and lead them down the canon path they ended up on. What makes people the way they are, what makes them change, mind games, poor communication, how siblings influence each other and how new environments can enforce or modify thought patterns, how they'd react to the unexpected and why. And it's not like i really overthink every scene like this but when it comes together it's just so satisfying. I may not always be the best at conveying what I have in mind, and it took me a minute (all of chapter 1) to figure out what i wanted to do with Caleb, but thinking about character is the best.

I finished the Daphne-teaches-Niles-ballroom-dancing episode with the idea of "well, this is the true first beginning of Daphne/Niles, this is the end of canon tidbits for my Maris/Niles ship". So I was not ready for the following episode to have a scene where Diane is acting very neurotic and Niles reacts to it with "I miss my Maris". YES CONFIRMATION THAT MARIS WAS MEANT TO BE READ AS NEUROTIC.
