i got tagged by @ljubitelj-sonca @apfel07 and @itskrejsaitsparty to post the last line i wrote down, although i can see almost everyone disregards the line part and posts a paragraph haha so uhmmmm im also going to ignore the line limit 👍🏻 and since i got tagged by three people ill post three paragraphs bc what are rules anyways

i uhhh im not tagging anyone bc as with most of these things im getting to them very late and i feel like everyone has already been tagged, oopsie

i have been feeling so bummed lately because i have come to the realization that nobody wants to see what i have to post.

no matter how aesthetic or how long it takes me to write or how talented i may or may not be.

you inspired me to write and be active on tumblr! and i have mutuals but they don't regularly look at my account at all... how do i do better? get more exposure or... i don't know, cope? i tag, repost, write relavantly. what did i do wrong...

hi my sweet nonnie 🥺 i’m bundling you into a hug right now and bringing you some warm tea, i am so sorry you’re feeling this way right now :( i just want to say that you’re not doing anything wrong at all.

unfortunately, in my experience, tumblr is so ebb and flow there’s no perfect way to do tbh. you have to just take it as it comes and sometimes, it doesn’t feel like the best place to be. taking breaks is beneficial but it feels world ending to take them when you already feel so isolated.

the best thing i could say is just keep chatting with mutuals you’d maybe like to be friends with or just find interesting, interact when you can and above all, just follow the golden rule — treat others how you would like to be treated. it takes time but eventually the energy you put out will find its way back to you.

it sounds like you are doing a lot already ! interacting with others is always a great thing to do, so definitely keep posting + commenting + keep your name out on dash and in notifs :3 please try to not be afraid to be loud and take up space, tumblr is as much of yours as it is anyone else’s.

the more you put yourself out there, the better. even after being on fandom tumblr for like 3? 4 years now? i still have moments when i feel like this. for me, the best way to cope is to take space where i need it and chat with my friends OR if i feel like staying online, i send asks to those who i know are active and try to start conversations that way ! if i wanna feel included, i have to make the effort to include myself sometimes !! so reaching out to others helps me feel better :3

i’ve had multiple people talk to me about this and it seems to be a common theme these days :( it’s hard to get exposure just through the tags because a lot of times, it can be easier to keep up with what’s on your dash rather than try to navigate tumblrs tag system.

tldr ; a good way to increase exposure is to put out the energy that you wish to receive back when it comes to interactions. throw yourself into the community by reblogging others works, sending asks, etc etc until you find your people 🤍 the rest will follow !! at the end of the day, everyone is on here to seek connection.

also, this is what has worked for me in my experience !! everyone has a different journey here so i recommend asking others too for more advice + guidance !! i wish you the best, my sweets, i will be cheering you on !!! ✨

Does anyone have any tips to help stop yourself from comparing your artwork to others, or equating your value as an artist with likes and reblogs?

I've struggled with this for a while and it's getting old, I don't know how to just shrug it off. Any genuine advice would be nice

[virune]

the quality of my art fluctuates wildly between each post. it's just a perk you get when you follow me. no i will not apologise

Hi.. how many to do prompts do you currently have in your inbox? I don’t want to flood you with more if there is already too much

Hi anon ❤️

Tbh, I don't have that many prompts in my askbox at the moment, so send all the ideas you wish to see written down and I'll gladly give it a try!

If you're interested (and if you're the one who submitted it, your wait is nearly over) tomorrow I'll post a cute Jily drabble, follow up of Training Wheels, and I plan to share my entry for Winter in June (the challenge @jilychallenge issued for this month) on Tuesday or Wednesday, but it all depends on how heavy the workload at my job is this week.

If you're not here for something Jily related, just know I'm brewing up some Wolfstar and a Sirius x Marlene x Remus drabble, meanwhile if you follow me because of ACOTAR, I' working on a multichapter for @gwynweekofficial I wish I'll like enough to actually submit

I know I’ve said this before, but I am begging to know who Schneeball is

Oh and, I guess Twist Roll too

[obeymeow]

being neurodivergent is all fun and games until you remember those hourly quote bots on twitter and think well maybe I can't make a bot anymore but I could schedule a few quotes a day, that shouldn't be hard. it sounds fun to have a bunch of quotes of my favorite character Thirteen from hit mobile game Obey Me! and its sequel Obey Me! Nightbringer. and then you think about how arduous collecting the quotes is going to be but she's only been in the games for maybe a year and a half with little screentime and you love collecting things so you start but then you remember that you love collecting things so naturally you have ALL of her screentime in the game and suddenly you have 45k characters of quotes and are several lessons into season 4 (which is truly a trial in and of itself) but not nearly close enough to the end but you refuse to just stop collecting the quotes and make the account with the EXCESS of what you have already because you literally only have season 4 to get through and if you don't do it just seeing the bot (because now you've been informed you can make tumblr bots instead) will haunt you with that knowledge even if nobody else would ever know. this is a general anecdote of a situation that could easily happen to anyone though and not in any way related to my life

David Tennant interview at the British LGBT Awards, June 2024 (x)

Int: You being an ally to the community isn't something new. You've been doing it, but recently you've obviously really stepped up for trans and non-binary people in a time that's so, so needed. What made you do that?

David: I don't know that I feel like I've done anything that I wouldn't just sort of be normally doing. I mean, it's for me it's just common sense that there's there should be any suggestion that people aren't allowed to live the life they want to live and and to be who they want to be with and to express themselves wholeheartedly. I mean, as long as you aren't hurting anybody else, everybody else just needs to fucking butt out. I don't really understand why...

Int: ...it's controversial.

David: Yeah, there is and the thing... the thing, if there's something that's particularly sobering and depressing, it's that certain debates are being weaponized by certain elements of the political class, often for no... it seems it's not ideological so much as opportunistic. And I just think that's pretty disgusting, really.

Int: I couldn't agree more. What message would you like to send out to trans youth?

David: Please don't feel like you're not loved and that you're not accepted and that you're not... you know, most people in the world are good and kind and just want you to be able to be who you are. Most people in the world don't really care. I mean... you know what I mean?

Int: We're all narcissistic.

David: Exactly. Everyone's so self obsessed that really, the sort of noise that comes from a certain area of the press and of the political class is... it's a minority. It really is. And please don't let that make you feel diminished or dissuaded or discouraged, because, you know, you just... you have to be allowed to be yourself, and you are, and you are yourself and you must thrive and flourish, and we're all here for it.

Int: Amazing. I think, yeah, it's so important .I think sometimes it feels like there's so many people, but it is a minority. It's such a minority.

David: It's a tiny bunch of little whinging fuckers that are on the wrong side of history and they'll all go away soon.

Int: Like what happened with gay people 20 years ago.

David: When I was a kid, when I was a kid, exactly. You know, I was at school when Clause 28 came in and it all felt like being gay was something to be terrified of. And gay men in particular were demonised as paedophiles and now that just feels historic and ludicrous and, I mean, I don't see all those... all those battles aren't won, but we're in a very, very different place. And I feel like.I feel like history is on a progressive trajectory and it might get knocked sideways now and again by people for all sorts of reasons, which are often quite selfish and quite, as I say, not coming from a place of any sort of genuine belief system, but other than a place of opportunism. And that's something that we... I hope that in 20 years time, we're talking about, you know, these culture wars as something of the past.

Int: I believe we will. I'm a huge Doctor Who fan, so.

David: Oh, good, me too!

Int: You are my Doctor.

David: Oh, thank you very much.

Int: But recently, obviously, you came back for the 60th anniversary and you got to work with Yasmin Finney.

David: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Int: What was it like working with her?

David: Oh, she's brilliant. She's fantastic. Yeah. And she's in the show again now, she's back in it, so that's fantastic to see. She's lovely, talented, cool as a cucumber, articulate, brilliant. I learned a lot from her as an actor and also as someone who, you know, who's become a sort of de facto activist just because of who she is and where she is, and she becomes a sort of symbol of hope, and she's wonderful.
