reminder/tip, particularly for newer pjo fans: do not crosstag!
for those who don't know, crosstagging is tagging irrelevant tags on a post, usually popular tags to try and get more views on the post.
Tumblr doesn't work the same way instagram or tiktok or twitter does. Crosstagging is considered spam, and your blog will be flagged if you do this.
particularly in pjo fandom, crosstagging includes tagging characters that don't actually appear in the post, tagging books or series unrelated to the post (like tagging "TSATS" on a post not specifically about TSATS, or tagging HoO on a post about first series specifically, etc.), tagging "pjo fanfic" or "pjo headcanon" or similar on a post that, obviously, isn't that, and/or tagging irrelevant ships. More recently, this also includes tagging the show (PJO TV, etc) on posts that are completely irrelevant to the show.
This mostly only applies for original posts - Tags you put on reblogs only apply to your own blog's organizational system, and has no bearing on the original post itself. But it's really annoying to the original poster if you spam tags, because it will appear in their notifs. It's pointless to spam tags in reblogs for these reasons regardless, so it's best not to.
just remember: crosstagging is not allowed on tumblr, doesn't work that way here anyways, and is just generally rude. so don't do it.
#pjo#riordanverse#percy jackson#< pretty much the only character tag that's okay to put on most pjo posts#because it's also the series name#though personally for this blog i just use ''riordanverse'' and ''pjo'' and my general main tags#also. don't. crosstag on ao3. ao3 doesnt have an algorithm or anything. it's an *archive.*#crosstagging/tagging just for visibility is against ao3 policies and pointless to begin with#and please do not censor tags on ao3 or tumblr. particularly content warnings#there is no shadowban system on either platform. all it does is make it harder for people who actually need those warnings#and are trying to not see them. because they will not have blocked the exact censoring of that phrase you decided to use
