#there are a lot of people here that i follow (this is a sideblog but we're technically mutuals?!) that have inspired me to not take bigotry

[melonelle]

just chiming in with my experience as someone who got a lot of notes like three years ago and now it's a dead simblr.

we used to be a proper community; from 2015 to 2019. i think people nowadays don't know how exciting it was to just log on to see people sharing cc just because it was a passion project; that was the norm.

i'm so thankful that there's still people doing the same thing now in this artificial wasteland that simblr has become.

now i think that our decline as a community started with the monetization of cc, now cc isn't a passion project that you can appreciate and be thankful that the creator decided to share it in the first place. it's a product that you buy, and you better like it because you're paying for it.

also, as someone who used to support a lot of creators on patreon back in the day, i don't think that i did it because i actually wanted to support them; instead, their cc had become an exclusive item, and i just couldn't wait to get it.

it's gotten to the point where i think that of the 15 creators i used to be a patreon of, now if i could i'd only support 2, and one of the is not longer active, so let's get that number back to 1.

now the popular cc creators only come here to post their links to patreon, because they are making bank and they no longer need to build a community for it to happen.

or they give the collections to popular simblrs to post with a similar model to a sponsored post, and that's when you get content fatigue because i have seen like five different simblr posting the same damned collection, and even if it has not been released to the public i'm already tired of seeing it.

and i carry some of the fault too, back in 2018 i had no problem with reblogging cc that i liked or other people's posts, but somewhere along the way i got into the mindset that i needed to build my own brand (which i think is what's currently happening on a major scale now) and that meant i only had to post my own stuff. during the time, i was getting a lot of notes; it was getting to the point where i stressed myself with getting posts out just to keep the roll going, and then it came the burnout that made me leave the community for a couple years.

now for me, simblr feels so artificial on a large scale. i think that's probably because a lot more people realized you can make an easy and big buck creating cc for this game, and ea won't care or put rules in place to prevent this happening because they want a piece of the cake too, so they'll never go against big name creators.

but that has left us with a community that feels more individualist and artificial than never before.

dude, it's unreal because i have around 2.5k followers here, and i actually prefer to spend my time here on tumblr in my fandom-specific sideblog, where i have less than 150 followers, but whenever i post i get a real sense of a community responding to my posts.

hell, i have even posted some of my sims there, because if i were to do it here in simblr my post feels like a drop in the bucket.

I've been seeing alot of people felling discouraged from simblr and feeling like they don't belong

Especially when there is alot of posts going around telling you not to focus on popularity etc

But im here to tell you ITS NOT YOU

You did nothing worng you do infact belong here its not your fault people in this community are not interactive (and yes its just this community im in two other fandom spaces and they work just fine people here are the outlier)

And my proof that its not your fault?

I have 3200 follower (all real people i removed the bots myself)

So you would think i would get alot of notes and feel included right?

WRONG

3k+ followers and this year the most notes i got on any non cc post i made was 15 and on cc posts it was 56

The only post that got alot of notes all year was my simblreen treats post and you would think with 3k people watching it would be 1000 notes or something but no last time i checked it was barely over 100

There are like 3 people that occasionally talk to me sometimes on my posts lol (very thankful i know no one owes me anything)

And i have had this blog for 6+ years

My point is

You belong just fine and i personally am happy you are here

Its not your fault people are being stubborn and refusing to reblog on the reblog website

(imma be real with you if i owened this website im removing the like option this is the reblog website you don't need to only like stuff but i dont own it so 🤷‍♂️)

Hey y’all…… some fucking asshole reported me and got my blog terminated. Trying to get back all my moots but I have a shit memory. So if you remember desperatehoney pleaaaase follow that’s me. Feel free to spread the word about this blog:( I want y’all back

Sorry for the crime of being a horny trans person I guess. But I refuse to let this keep me down. You Cannot Kill Me In A Way That Matters.

New blog rule (inspired by recent events): antisemites get one (1) snarky reply from me before they are reported if I choose to respond.

After that, the only response will be thus:

[shitposting-hobbits-to-gallifrey]

Y'know you've been on tumblr for too long when you start a sideblog on a separate account for reasons and literally within two days of making the blog you see an old post with an addition from your main on its dash

[neversetyoufree]

Hey, no guarantee I'll actually do this anytime soon, but I'm flirting with the idea of running a big vnc-related poll bracket, and I'd like y'all's thoughts on some of the variables.

First of all, I'm undecided on theme. I've posted before about the idea of a "who's most likely to die first" poll, but I also like the idea of doing a sequel to my mxtx bugpoll from my other sideblog and making the theme "which character do you most want to study like a little bug?"

If I do the bugpoll, that also opens me up to doing a broader mochijun poll and including pandora hearts (and maybe crimson-shell??) characters as well. But! If I do that, then it's no longer entirely tailored to this blog, so I'd have to decide whether to host it here or put it somewhere else so vnc only fans can avoid.

Anyway, that's a lot of variables, but please tell me which version of this idea appeals to y'all most.

[silent-sentinels]

okay. so. our facet Faucet is our secret keeper, and we did not ask [ ] permission before introducing this blog to others. so [ ] isn't very pleased, to say the least.

[thornheartless]

The occasional urge to be otherkin on main Vs wanting to keep that on my sideblog so I don't have to explain it

[granhairdo]

i just noticed my intro post doesn’t have a complete list of all my sideblogs and since im too busy to make a pretty one here's a list of all of them

@granhairdopoetry @barricadedaycountdown (from last year) @eponinessuggestions @granhairdo-traumacore @incorrectpatronminette @la-salpetriere @lesmisconfessions3

[echoes-lighthouse]

I’m gonna try a return on this blog!! No more going into the tags for now because that was bumming me out, but I miss posting! I’ll just stick to my little circles and make some things for me and followers.

I might also make an nsfw selfship side blog and do some kinktober imagines?? I wanted to do the full event but I am so very tired

[yo9urt]

my secret dream is that one day a beautiful man stumbles upon this blog perhaps through a network of mutuals perhaps through a search result perhaps through any other strange and mysterious but divinely ordained and timed manner and we become mutuals and then friends and talk all the time and he falls in love with me but doesn't say it but one day he DOES say it and i also fell in love without saying anything too and then we get together and then some time later we get married and live happily ever after et cetera

[siriussunday]

when will you run out of images

probably soon, actually... i've often lost track of which pics i've posted and which ones i haven't! i feel like i'm running out of official art and cgs (especially trying not to post too many spoilers), and i often go to IZ's/BLUESTAR'S twitter for more images, from sketches to more art, but what recently what they've made of sirius are commissions so i won't be using that on this blog. i really hope wilardo's conclusion has some sirius content for me to use, whenever it comes out.

submissions are always open though! if you guys have any cgs or art i havent used yet feel free to send it my way! i'm also considering using fanart with artists's permission, but im still a bit on the fence about that because of issues with reposting and stuff. either way, i wanna keep this going for as long as im able to! i've felt too lazy to look for new pictures in the past and just reblogged old posts instead, so i plan to do that if i ever seriously run out of images. but for now i think i'll be alright!

[seventeendeer]

I am this () close to making a sonic the hedgehog sideblog to quarantine my insane rambling in a place where people might actually be looking for it

[end-orfino]

What if i'd make an art sideblog

[kweenofkonfusion]

...have you ever looked at someone you used to know and felt like crying cause they left you behind without a single goodbye?

i think i'm gonna go lay down...

[mistninja]

How do i block someone from a sideblog

[youredreamingofroo]

ah. no 😭 I sometimes wish I DID make a sideblog for personal stuff/non-sims stuff, but i really do believe that i would end up abandoning it in like, 2 days, cuz I would forget how sideblogs work and/or would just get tired of how tedious it is to do stuff with a sideblog (since ive seen ppl complain about how sideblogs work ssjdhjs)

I DID make a sideblog for W.A.S stuff a LONGG while ago, but I literally deleted it in like, 20 minutes cuz I fucking hated how sideblogs work so😭...

📩 Simblr question of the day: do you have sideblogs? If yes, what are they?

answer in whatever way is most comfortable for you and feel free to share this SQOTD around, make sure to use the hashtag SQOTD and tag me in separate posts ~ 💛
