To illustrate this post by @mayahawkse I would like to visualize to you the difference:

A post in 2023:

A post in 2014:

A zoom out of the same post:

This is what a community looks like.

See how in 2023 almost all of the reblogs come from the OP, from their few hours/days in the tag search. Meanwhile in 2014 the % of reblogs from OP is insignificant, because most of the reblogs come from the reblogs within the fandom, within the micro-communities formed there. You didn't need to rely on tags, or search, or being featured. Because the community took care of you, made sure to pass the work between themselves and onto their blog and exposed their followers to it. It kept works alive for years.

It's not JUST the reblog/like ratio that causing this issue, it's the type of interaction people have. They're content with scrolling and liking the search engine, instead of actually having a reblogging relationship with other blogs in their community.

Anyways, if you want to see more content you like, the only true way to make it happen is to reblog it. Likes do not forward content in no way but making OP feel nice. Reblogs on the other hand make content eternal. They make it relevant, they make it exist outside of a fickle tumblr search that hardly works on the best of days.

If you want more of something, reblog it.

#i said i wont ever rant about this bc it's unseemly but HONESTLY.#you simply cannot complain about not having enough of A or B or C and then never reblog / interact with the content you love.#If you LOVE something you cannot just leave a like and silently wait for more to happen #I know countless of content creators that simply stopped doing art/writing fic/making edits #You need to understand that fandom content is made FOR the fandom FOR the engagement FOR the entertainment and fun it makes.#If a content creator does not have fun IN the fandom-- why would they spend the scares free time they have on making this content?#And we're not talking about things that you don't like-- no one expects you to reblog things you don't like.#However I think it's safe to say that when a post has more than 5k it's not some random shitpost with no value.#tumblr issues #tumblr #content creators #buns.txt #something something please don't starve your local clowns

Two former military elites taking merc jobs perform absolutely hellish battle tactics together.

#ffxiv #digital art #zenos yae galvus #estinien wyrmblood #adventurer zenos #I will always adore this duo conceptually #because like- socially theyre that aragorn-geralt brooding in a corner of a tavern meme #but in combat they are absolutely terrifying #the azure dragoon and the super soldier legatus are here to fuck up a poachers day #aka zenos is about to crossmap someone's airship cause he knows estinien cant make himself jump that far #why have him try to jump when he can just Olympic-level javelin toss this man #also guys #my dudes #all this time I've been working on adven!zenos being a tank #I... have realized I just write him like a warrior who isnt carrying a weapon- sturdy unkillableness and countering and all #I am only a little bit of a dumbass but orogeny just seems to live in my head rent free #it also gave me the terrifying concept of- after spending time with the scions and after the ultimatum-#of him trying to learn more about dynamis- and zenos being zenos starts learning eventually how to harness it #local calm apathetic man can berserk on command because he's a lot angrier/more expressive inwardly than most people expect #depending on how I look into it- it might be how he fuels most of his shinryu transformations but I'll have to work on it more #but ANYWAYS #I love the thought of these two hunting and working together #and estinien being tossed being turned into a tactic #especially with proper form #this is something ive wanted to draw for a very long time and im very happy I actually have the skill to do so now

its kinda funny reading travel reviews where people are scandalized by the concept of like. the locals trying to make money. like dont get me wrong there are scams out there but sometimes i'll see a review where theyre like "the tour guide took us to a market... and the people there wanted us to BUY things 😡" yeah man. youre in a market. the tour guide probably took you there because he knows people at the market. this is how tourism economies work.

#like i see so many trying to frame the locals as swindlers bc they try to charge money for. goods and services.#if you dont wanna be pushed into spending money ur first mistake was hiring a tour guide honestly #but theyre just doing their jobs

this PSA is brought to u, by first year farmer ・゚ *✧

#fsds just kidding i love how welcoming robin was too; even offering table with her family during the stardew valley eve #but no red carpet can be more welcoming than local grandma who smells like flowers and cookies and take u as her grandchild from day 1 #i thought linus was sketchy at first but then i almost cry because he is the only one drag me back home when i am dying in mine alone #with no one knowing or care where am i #sdv #stardew valley #sdv evelyn #sdv farmer #stardew evelyn #stardew farmer #stardew valley evelyn #stardew valley farmer #fanart #surely it was sketchy at first the way ur money and things are gone #but after knowing linus u get to trust him that he was sincere helping u #it really was like this homeless man cares for me more than anyone in this village #*tho reasonable bcs he's the only one actively foraging for things to live & coincidentally u are one of the thing he found #but i can imagine by the way i was playing; first few months arriving at the valley farmer just keep spending time sitting beside linus #contemplating about life #like second homeless person in the valley #if there's a popularity poll for stardew villagers; evelyn should be top number 1 no discussion #for someone who started stardew valley without any interest of the bachelor/rettes this is how i feel

Various inhabitants of rivendell

(inspired by @thesummerestsolstice here and here)

#silm #silmarillion #lotr #rivendell #maglor #erestor #i hope you do not mind me borrowing garthaglir like a particularly cool rock on the playground #i imagine glorfindels arrival at rivendell like #he walks into the library and runs into garthaglir #both of them scream #but then later glorfindel sat him down and taught him to do fancy braids #now they are friends #later he was part of the redhorn pass search and rescue team out of loyalty to the people who took him in #(bonus points if he was originally a caradhras orc...)#he has joined glorfindel in Team Hair Down During Battle and elrond is so tired #although later he teaches elrond the local dialect of black speech #they spend weeks in the library transcribing texts and poring over the etymology of particularly quenya-derived words #orcs are kind of undead (see: aure entuluva battle) and elrond is weird and somewhat maiarin #somebody eventually forces them to go take a break after three weeks of nonstop linguistics-bonding #feanors ghost is Proud #(he also is glad that erestor eventually befriended lindir because hey! thats one grandkid who didnt disown everyone)#the one old feanorion and thingols guard both refuse to modernize their armor #elrohir is like 'you know mail is a thing now right?? leg armor has existed for two ages and youre still wearing your fancy battle robes'#to which both of them will yell something only vaguely understandable about modern armor being poorly made #and then proceed to fight about whose armor was actually more effective at the dagor nuin giliath #(theyre that old)

Happy valentines! what says ‘love’ like two smelly, unwashed teen boys?

Drew this after a lovely convo with @less-depresso-more-espresso, who also gave me this song to listen to 💕 so this one’s for you bestie aha

#tmnt 2012 #rasey #casey jones #raphael hamato #less-depresso-more-espresso #I love the farmhouse arc a lot actually #I think Casey went and got a few jobs on ‘local’ farms to help pay for food and bills #and April got a job helping in a shop or something she’s not very outdoorsy #and after Leo wakes up raph would start going outside #mikey looks after the animals and the farm there but we know ralh likes animals and flowers so I think he’d keep pretending to be too macho #his main jobs looking after Leo #but Casey could get him to goof off and sit in the sun and stuff #maybe raph would help chop wood or just sit near by drawing or trying to make daisy chains for mikey #something silly #anyway #I don’t do romance but I like using today as a chance to tell my friends I love them and to spend quality time snuggling my dog so #I hope everyone has a good day xxx #thank you again depresso xxx #Spotify #I tried to make this so it couldn’t be platonic but who am I kidding I sit on my friends like this all the time lmao #oh I drew this in my usual grunge way I do for 2012 and then tried to make it look softer with the same brushes so lmk if it worked

Apologies

#shadowpeach #six eared macaque #sun wukong #lmk #lego monkie kid #monkey king #liu'er mihou #I just think it'd be neat if they apologized to each other and then cried and hugged about it #(cuz on god they both have some shit they should get off their chests and own up to)#like holy blue hells they're both just like “I think i shall spend my immortal life ruminating on my greatest regret and letting it fester”#everytime i watch the scene where Macaque is like:#“its good to talk about feelings! obv i don't do it”#i turn into the hands on hips guy meme #DUDE GO TO THERAPY #wukong too lets be real #been reading jttw the west (haven't actually gotten to where SEM shows up in the book yet tho)#and i think that if therapy existed back then tripitaka and sha wujing would've been gently but firmly #herding wukong into the local therapist's waiting room in as many towns they pass as possible #he'd probly grab the door frame and have to be literally pried off #these hypothetical ancient-chinese therapists all have claw marks on the hallways and doors going into their offices #hey how about an au where shadowpeach get therapists who end up getting all the monkey drama news first #and end up on the business-rivals-to-drinking-buddies pipeline #stopped while drawing this like “hey why'd i make mac be touching wukong's face in both sketches?”#and then i remembered that between the two mac's the one who wants to be something to the other #to the point of desperation #its like if they're both cats who got coned swk is the one who sits there miserably accepting his fate #while mac is that one video of the tuxedo cat shrieking and trying to paw it off #i'd read the hell out of a fic where they end up swapping attitudes about their dynamic #in canon wukong's the one who seems like he would like to never see mac again (at times) even tho he really regrets it and it hurts #like mac just gives up on trying to convince himself he can make swk see him as a significant part of his life again

So I decided to watch a bit of Bridgerton with my mother, which I'm not really interested in (I don't really like period pieces unless it's a fanfic for a ship I like) but it's a show she enjoys so I sometimes catch her watching it and join her, and literally the only takeaway from the stuff I've seen with her is that Colin, Lord Debling, and Penelope should have all been poly

#guys listen a lot of shit could have been solved if they had just been poly (says local poly relationship writer & enjoyer)#i know polin is like the Ship this season from what i've seen when i lightly check out the bridgerton fandom #but i really enjoyed the chemistry between penelope & debling. they were cute.#that scene where he asked in a roundabout way how to propose to her. it was sweet. also the way he stuttered was really cute.#i also imagined colin & debling together in a world where polyamory & queer relationships weren't frowned upon #and i think they would be cute. he & colin would have a fun dynamic because debling's similair to pen but also he still very different #and i think that seeing colin being oblivious about liking him would be cute #it would definitely add to the drama if violet didn't really understand that colin was into both pen & debling at first. but when she does.#she spends the entire time with her head in her hands because her son is so bad at recognizing his feelings.#i just think the two would be really cute if the time period wasn't. you know. very unaccepting of queer relationships.#bridgerton #penelope featherington #colin bridgerton #lord debling #alfred debling #polin #colin x penelope #pebling #penelope x lord debling #colin x penelope x lord debling #colin x lord debling #god i think i'm the only one adding to that tag. if not creating it. oh well.#please don't bother interacting with this post if you're just going to say that polin is superior or whatever. literally just block me dude #yuri's thoughts & rambles #bridgerton season 3 #bridgerton spoilers #this literally might be the only time i even use the bridgerton tag

MGS AU where the FOXHOUND gang survives and maybe through some legal loophole they manage to not end up in prison BUT they can never be employed in anything remotely close to the military anymore because. you know. So they gotta make ends meet through different means

Anyway what I'm saying is MGS AU where Liquid has to work at McDonald's

#mgs #metal gear solid #mgs au #metal gear au #liquid snake #foxhound #raven works in a little convenience store. he barely fits down the aisles #wolf works a boring office job but spends her free time helping at the local dog shelter #out of kindness. but purely for the dogs #mantis would kill everyone outside he sells commissions and liquid provides for the both of them #he is considering opening furry commissions. because the money #octopus... hairdresser? yeah #he's like the only one having a good time

first @yeehawgust prompt was 'gather the posse' and since I'm using this challenge as a way to explore new characters I just took that to mean "design the fuckers"

anyways, Whiskey and Tago. Tbh this pose was meant to be more a metaphor thing than literal, but it's making me strongly consider changing Whiskey to being a they/them(plural) instead of a they/them(singular).

#yeehawgust #Whiskey is an alabastor. Their parents own the local saloon where they and their mother work as barkeeps. their father also manages #a small ranch/farm that grows corn and has a decent number of cattle.#Tago is an outlaw whos just moving from town to town looking for honest work after spending too long doing the bidding of others #in big cities out to the east.#He doesn't like getting close to people. Literally. hes venomous and his touch is poisonous to the point of being lethal to most #Whiskey is the sort you really shouldn't get close too. They have a habit of driving their less constituted lovers insane.#they're a shape shifter who moves between faces/gender presentations as it suits them but they #cant do much about their coloration though. thats always the same and it irritates them to no end

Xue Yang DEFINITELY not caring for Xiao Xingchen

#i mean even wei wuxian only talked to him for like half an hour before being like #'uhm i'm pretty sure u don't just hate him'#local man spends years trying to bring his worst enemy back to life #also while keeping the last gift he received from said man #xue yang #the untamed #mdzs

The fact that Zayne and Evermore had a single conversation and were IMMEDIATELY Ride or Die for each other means I shall never be normal about them I fear.

#it’s very ‘I’d die for you’ ‘not if I died for you FIRST-‘#the way Jon was ✨distraught✨ over Brooke spending her tokens to help Zayne escape is pretty funny #dude like you were’t gonna do the exact same if given the chance #Eva experiences a mild inconvenience and the local Himbo is instantly like I MUST SAVE HER #I’m rotating them in my brain #chaotic lawful #table runners official #Zayne donkey funk #zayne funk #evermore #Jon Matteson #Brooke eyler

private housekeeper susie & meta maid are here to help!

initially i was going to put a large amount of effort into this but then i thought about the actual amount of people who'd actually enjoy this, which is not a lot of people!

so here's the sketch & rough texture render with details added where necessary

also if you're wondering why this was made:

#metasusie #susie haltmann #meta knight #kirby #gijinka #kirby gijinka #maid outfit #my art #local cutting board spends WAY too much time on a shitpost #much more time than i'd like to admit...
