You reblog a lot of pretty art! Any tips for finding good art blogs? I’m not the best at curating my dash yet
I'm doing blogging well, I'm getting a good grade in Tumblr
But if you want a real answer, I'll give you one... Under the cut because I love to ramble about meta stuff and my particular methods of doing things. I hope you never have to read my lab reports.
Best way to find stuff you like is to dive into the tags of things you like and follow anyone who makes something you like on a semi-regular basis. Find out who they reblog from and who the original posters are and follow those people as well, given you like their vibe (more on this later). I generally avoid following the big repost accounts because they find their way onto my dash no matter what cause other people follow them and therefore anything I see has already gone through one filter of aesthetic appreciation.
The reblog function of Tumblr is core to your experience on the site and its best and most notable feature. That is why the entire site is built around this feature and updates that aren't uplifting or capitalizing on its use do extremely poorly (live, mart, and TV). I say this because the filter of the endless amount of stuff on Tumblr that reblogs from the people you follow, gives you the ability to shape your experience of this site. If you don't follow the right people to cultivate the kind of experience you want, or to see and talk to the people you enjoy, the site's appeal and functionally falls apart.
My initial method (as explained above) was to follow everyone and everything that remotely seemed within my areas of interest. I have since refined it to something I could (theoretically) plug into Excel if I was bored enough. This is possible for no reason other than I'm autistic, love to use Excel, make things into a definite process, and then excessively math something out (with some number fudging), more than I ever really needed to. I won't detail it here because it's a floating set of ideas in my head and not a hard and fast list of things I'm genuinely looking for. I will say that my prior following escapades from when I started out on Tumblr have made me reach a follow count of more than 3,000. However, within the last month and half, I've followed maybe two new blogs out of genuine interest, rather than a mutual recreating or having a side blog I had meant to follow for a while but forgot/didn't know about but should have. I mentioned the number fudging didn't I?
I kept this vague, of looking at the "vibe" of someone's blog, because it really is just based on your tastes and who you follow and who you want to follow. I will look through someone's blog for a long while before just clicking off, because I know I don't want to see more of their blog than the infrequent amount I see. I look through these blogs I half follow when someone I follow reblogs their stuff or if they're in my activity. I'll like some posts, reblog others, and then I'm off. If the vibes don't fit, I don't follow. You and I have different vibes despite you enjoying the art I post, as evident by the very act of sending this ask. This isn't a dig at you, nor is it saying I can guess your whole personality cause that would be idiotic. But, I don't imagine you were expecting this long of an answer, especially this late.
I'm glad you enjoy what I post though. I know I do. Half the time I spend on the app is spent going through my own posts and activity because I enjoy seeing what people liked which of my posts. I hope this was helpful in some manner to you. Maybe you will post the right stuff or reblog the right stuff from me that would make me follow you back. Actually, that isn't something worth striving for. Honestly, that sounds a little sad to hope some blogger you do not know follows you back. Though I kind of just thrust that want onto you, so I don't think that is representative of something you actually care about. Sorry that's a weird thing to leave on but I have nothing else to say.
Good luck blogging... I guess?
#lunar lectures#i follow against my current will 3127 blogs#and follow 40 tags#this is longer than you think it is#much longer than it probably should be#i really want to trim who i follow to a quarter of the current size#cause the recommended blogs i see on my blog#are not representative of my blog#the follow suggestions on my dash are correct#the ones tumblr will prompt you to follow#suggesting they are anywhere similar to mine#probably are not

the curse of summer is buying and eating an inadvisable amount of fruit in single sittings.
#listen in my defense i bought 4 peaches and they are going to get oversoft in 2 days and i only ate two of them rn#that's discipline! that's control!#........#i will probably end up eating the other two in the middle of the night huh

please i love you i'm begging you bring back suspension of disbelief bring back trusting the audience like. i cannot handle any more dialogue that sounds like a legal document. "hello, i am here to talk to you about the incident from a few minutes ago, because i feel you might be unwell, and i am invested in your personal wellbeing." "thank you, i am unwell because the incident was hurtful to me due to my childhood, which was bad." I CANT!!!!
do you know how many people are mad that authors use "growled" as a word for "said"? it's just poetics! they do not literally mean "growled," it's just a common replacement for "said with force but in a low tone." it's normal! do you hear me!! help me i love you please let me out of here!!!
#i am so sick of writers having to anticipate the most boring#bad-faith readings of their work. i am like - if you use cheese as a currency#okay! as long as the world makes sense to me: cool. cheese tax. moving on.#my job as the reader is to suspend my disbelief and say okay! i am so sick of like#fanfiction authors having to write dissertations#because they had an interesting idea they'd like to try out!!!#just write it! if it doesn't make sense that's someone else's problem!!!#PS OP is autistic. yes sometimes i take things literally at first glance. then i think about it lol#this is so clearly not about accessibility etc. it's about like. girl even i an autistic person#am able to understand ''they probably didn't mean his eyes darkened LITERALLY''

Yall ever think about how Ford had to relearn how to be a normal human being after 30 years of isolation
#notes:#Stan was trying to haggle with what is effectively a 7eleven employee... Because they didn't have the money for it#and also because Stan and his money anxiety... ☹️Ford probably has had to fight for scant resources and kiII for less...#Both of them need to get mental help and realise that it's okay#and that it's safe now.#You have money... And you no longer need to fight for everything you have#gravity falls#ford pines#grunkle ford#stan pines#grunkle stan#stanford pines#stanley pines

this is problematic of me (joke) but i really enjoy the splashing of french into english speech or writing. just adds a pizzazz
#im fetishing the french language#i mean this is not a new thing and the reasons probably have to do with a long held idea of france being particularly enlightened#or whatever kinda racist shit but it does sound pleasant nonetheless

Currently thinking about how much Ford tries to hide his hands a lot when he can…behind his back with this stance. Due to how often he’s been bullied for it.
And also, how Mabel is one of the ones who Ford feels happy about showing his hands to because she thought they were cool looking upon first shaking his hand, instead of him being judged for his six fingers.
[ID: Gravity Falls screenshots. The first three are of Ford with his hands crossed behind his back. The last two are of him shaking hands with Mabel, and letting her paint a turkey on his hand. He's smiling in both. End ID.]
#Ford and Mabel defender for life#This probably isn’t much but idc I LOVE them sm#Ford being insecure about his hands :((#I’m making myself sad too#gravity falls#stanford pines#mabel pines#gravity falls lost legends#If I think about Ford too much I’ll explode#ramblings#Either this or he’s autistic

Thinking about him (the soldier in Poynter’s Faithful Until Death painting watching an apocalypse unfold around him with horror in his eyes as he tries to keep himself standing beneath a doorway, based on an actual 19th century archeological find of a man in full soldier’s garb under a doorway at Pompeii)
#edward poynter#art#faithful until death#Pompeii#Do I think this man was actually ~standing guard until death~? unlikely. he probably just succumbed to the smoke early#do i think this is a devastating representation of the actual last moments of thousands of people? absolutely#it’s such a good painting
