I wish I could explain why I love these things so much.

I'm about 15 people away from 1000 followers! First off thank you all for your support!!

Second I want to do something special for 1000 followers, so I'd like to get some input from yall. I'm going to be doing a celebration pinup! Who would you like to see the most:

Before I started this blog I used to think the only way to get ahead was to do fan art and such, which while there are a lot of characters I do like to draw, I usually just kind of like drawing my own OCs.

But yall have shown me that as long as I stick to what I like to draw, people will find it and like it too, so thank you ✧:･ﾟ*ᏊᵕꈊᵕᏊ*:･ﾟ✧

i’ll say it over and over again he’s the angel to my crowley i can’t believe these are the circumstances of this world. i wish i could love him openly. im sitting on my front step in the dark hearing the birds wake up and i wish i could go walk to his house right now and knock on the door and go on a walk with him and be able to tell him how much i love him. my partner said the other day “why don’t you guys just marry each other” as a joke (because of course) and he responded tired and intoxicated “i’ll leave that up to you” and im still trying to understand what he meant by that. what if everything could work out? i don’t know if there’s a heaven in this life but if it exists it’s him

Tumblr has been such a formative site throughout my adulthood. Yes I'm a tumblr old, I'm sorry. But when I was a kid there wasn't anything like this. We all made geocities or angelfire websites and shared our cringy writing and art that way and we loved it.

But tumblr took me out of my tiny comfort zone many times. I learned a lot of stuff about myself and about other people that I might have learned about eventually anyway, but idk... my mind was open then, and maybe it would have been more closed off later. Who can say. But I can safely say that without it, I would not have come to understand my identity as it is, when I did.

Tumblr feels as close to the old internet as any site could nowadays. It was never perfect, not ever, but it always sort of felt like the lesser of many evils. We're all aware it's been circling the drain for a while. What's happening now, sadly, isn't anything new, but it seems to be the straw that broke the camel's back for many people.

I made a Bluski a little while back, I just made a cohost today, I've had a furaffinity page for a bit now, and I don't know, maybe there'll be more too. I encourage you to follow me on these places, and mutual please let me know if you have an account on these sites too!

But that sucks doesn't it? We're already all here now, and if tumblr dies tomorrow, everyone's going to choose the places they go to, and they're not all going to be the same. Twitter was never a big deal to me, but when twitter started falling apart that was a huge loss for so many people who had staked their following there. The parallels are obvious. Tumblr was already pretty small to begin with and that means the people that make up "the queerest site on the internet" will subdivide again, creating smaller and smaller communities.

There's no possible way we can coordinate a complete move to another site, and even if we could, there's no way to tell if that site will be around longer than a year, or if a userbase ever manifests. Discord servers are a great idea to keep in touch with folks, but I'm not a fan of those as a replacement (though obviously it's perfect for folks who just want to keep in touch but do not want to attract attention).

I like tumblr, insofar as you can like a social media website. But tumblr as a site is nothing without the gay little weirdos. And if my fellow gay little weirdos aren't here then what's the point of being here? It feels like Cohost might be the way forward, but we can never know for sure.

I plan to stay here as long as there is a here to stay, but I guess, idk I'm gearing up to leave at a moment's notice. That's just how it looks like it might be from now on, unless something changes to correct course. If a move never comes then great, but I'd rather be prepared.

I always see posts that are like "LIKES ARE WORTHLESS REBLOG ONLY" and I completely sympathize with where people are coming from, but that's not really true.

Reblogs will always grant more exposure than likes so I agree that reblogs are more valuable than likes, but... idk man, bare minimum likes are validating. People might be more selective about what they reblog, but I will like things both willy and nilly because I like to tell someone "hey I liked this thing you did" and I love when others do the same for me.

But likes also aren't nothing. Yes tumblr doesn't have an algorithm like certain other big social media sites (and we are all better for that) but if you don't TURN OFF the "liked by" feature that is on by default in tumblr, you will see things that folks you follow have liked. Tumblr is still one of the only soc sites that you curate by following who you want to see stuff from, so idk, I guess I trust that most off the folks I follow will like things that I will also like? Maybe they didnt reblog it, but that like was still worth exposure, and maybe I or one of their other followers will reblog it too.

I know there are a lot of ragged features tumblr has introduced over the years, but by leaving that feature on I get glimpses into other folks feeds all the time and often find new people to follow!

But also likes do still count as notes, and the more notes a post has, the more popular it gets and that does still seem to increase the likelihood it'll be seen by more people (this is cyclical though because reblogs will still increase exposure, which will increase notes, etc...).

As a fellow starving artist, yeah, I get it, reblogs will increase the exposure of your art. It's always better for you when someone reblogs you. But if likes are worthless to you, I mean like, tag your posts "no likes" or something I won't like them if you don't want.

I always appreciate reblogs, but I do not feel owed them. Thank you for everyone who does, but if you only like stuff? That's fine with me too! That's never worthless to me.
