Personal

I’ve never written a personal post here but there’s a first time for everything and I feel like releasing some emotions. No one has to read this if they don’t want to:) it’s a written release more than anything but if you’re curious(?) you can lol

As it gets closer to November and just the end of the year in general I begin to feel heavy emotionally. It’s usually when I push myself to smile more and to be even more positive. My sibling’s health is not so good, it never has been as they were born with lots of health problems, but an emergency happened almost 2 years ago and it became worse. I’ve always helped with their nursing care but ever since then I’ve devoted myself even more. Anyway, since the anniversary of that is coming around I’ve been feeling a lot of anxiety, pressure, and sadness.

Unfortunately, my family received very sad news about my cousin. This week she was supposed to be going through some treatment for her health but something went wrong and she ended up in a coma and needing a blood transfusion. Her body couldn’t handle it and she has just passed away a couple hours ago. My mom and sister and have left to go give my aunt support. I stayed to continue my sibling’s nursing care. I feel horrible about everything going on, especially because my cousin has children, I believe her eldest is my age, the rest are younger. I’ve been thinking about how everyone over there must be feeling and… it just hurts inside, I feel nauseous…

Tumblr has been a space of comfort and fun to me. I love seeing everyone’s creative work or silly posts. The community I’ve become a part of has been so welcoming and supportive of each other. So much that I’ve seen others share their own personal struggles here and it makes me smile to see people being supportive. I didn’t realize how comforting this space has become for me but in these moments, these past days, I’ve realized that even if I don’t personally talk to many people, this space has felt like a big giant warm hug. Seeing people’s interactions, interacting myself, it’s so fun. Seeing everyone’s creative works is amazing, there’s so many talented people here… it’s amazing to see, it’s like droplets of positivity spreading smiles.

Anyway… I guess I just want to say thank you… to the communities I’ve become a part of. It’s not perfect but nothing ever is, the important thing is that you guys always do your best to create a safe space, it a big warm hug, and I love it 😊🫶🏻

There’s probably errors in my writing, sorry 😅 but I wasn’t trying to use perfect grammar

hello, friends 🫶🏻

just a psa/personal rant?? not really a rant but

i wanted to talk about a few things, and i think the cleanest and easiest segue is to say: i have left all of my writing networks. it is 100% nothing personal to any of them, i have enjoyed each and every one, but there are a few reasons why.

one, i am not active in any of the discord servers, so there was ✨anxiety✨ about not contributing and feeling obligated.

two (and this is the segue part): obviously these networks have a big reach, and i am feeling more and more anxious about exposing my work to the masses.

it’s a double-edged sword, because i write what i want and what makes me happy, but there is always a part of me that wants feedback and wants other people to see and enjoy it. but it has been tense here lately and the “please do not perceive me” feelings are REAL.

there is just… no nuance anymore. me posting “i don’t think it was a good decision for jungkook to go to qatar” turned into a bunch of anons calling me islamophobic and a bunch of other stuff. me saying it was a bad look for jimin to feature on a song by a r*pist turned into “you can’t have an opinion because you’re a rap line stan.”

i’m most certainly not perfect. i try to do the right thing. but tumblr has turned into a place where you will get bullied off the site if someone does not like you personally and decides you’re the internet’s villain of the day. you are put into situations you cannot win. if you defend yourself, you’re making excuses. if you don’t, you’re guilty and all those things people accused you of being are true.

it is literally this tweet:

this is not a fandom known for being welcoming of discourse, but we have to be able to give others grace. there has to be nuance. like, we are literally stanning bts, who have done and said and written problematic things. we should not excuse intentionally harmful behavior, but we need to be able to have conversations and believe, to a certain extent, that not everyone behaves in malicious ways.

we all fuck up and will continue to do so. i hope your mistakes are handled with grace and you are given the benefit of the doubt, and i hope you extend that grace when others inevitably make mistakes as well.

i am not involved in drama here. i am 31 years old and too old and tired. i just want to write and cry over seokjin and shitpost with my friends.

i’m sure this has all been said before, but: i was offline at the time everything went down with m (shout-out the fucking car accident i got in on my way to pick up my friends from the airport, why did this seemingly happen to everyone??) but they are someone i have interacted with both here and offline, and how all of that played out was fucked up, to say the least. others have explained it far more eloquently than me, but it bears repeating.

so while i love writing and i love sharing my work, there is a part of me that’s anxious every time i post. including this. i will continue to do so and hope that this site becomes warmer and more welcoming, because i see a lot of posts lamenting writers leaving or deactivating, and i just think: “well, yeah.”

enough has been said about interaction and the like/reblog ratio, which is definitely a huge part. it can be demoralizing to spend so much time and effort writing a fic that gets little interaction. but the environment is a big part, too, and i’m hopeful that can change.

(but also—protect your peace, whatever that means for you. unfollow that person. block that tag. you don’t have to engage with everything, especially if it raises your blood pressure. one of the few good things about the internet is that you’re largely able to curate your experience. don’t feel guilty about taking advantage of that.)

i will finish this by saying: i am always open to having conversations so long as they’re in good faith. it is not anyone’s place to police my behavior, but if i ever do or say something that is not cool, you are more than welcome to address it with me. i encourage you to do so. as flor once said: comfort can’t help me grow up.

love u all. pls be nice to one another. 🖤

Hi sweetie! 💜

How are you doing? 🥺

I just wanted to thank you for the follow! It made me so happy 🥰

When I first used Tumblr I was afraid of interacting with the BO community because I was really new and I felt I was doing it like really late and there was no space for me... I know it's the anxiety talking but it made perfect sense in my head haha

Anyway, you were the very first person who answered a request I sent. I did as anon because I felt so embarrassed 🫣

I was so happy when I saw it and since that moment I've been looking forward to reading all your posts!

I just wanted to say it 🥹 Such an honor to be part of your community 🫶🏻

OMG!! HII BABBIIII

Don’t ever feel like it’s too late to join a phantom because I can guarantee you the people you think that maybe you make fun of you because you’re new, there will always be more people who are welcoming when you’re new to the fandom!

But overall, I’m glad that I was able to be part of the good side of the experience❤️

While you’re here, I do also want to apologize that your request that you put in is taking a little while I have been a little busy but I know it’s there! And thank you so much for dropping by inboxes from you guys so it really does make my day less boring

And if you say that, it’s an honor to be my community, it’s an honor to have you in it you damn sweet person! This is literally my favorite part of following bad people who follow me because you guys get so excited to see that it makes your day. Also I love to be mutuals with my followers and I get to know you guys a lot better. I just feel like we’re all more connected here we are :)

Worth The Feeling

Note: this is a completed project but I’ve had major problems posting on tumblr from my laptop! I’m not sure why. If anyone who sees this is interested, I also posted the fic on Archive Of Our Own 🫶🏻

Content Warning: 18+

This story includes explicit smut, intimidation, and an age gap relationship (MC is 26, Javi is in his 40s). Minors, do not interact.

Chapter 2:

Now, I've made some blunders before. Mostly calling talent by the wrong name, which is a big mistake when dealing with big personalities. But I've tripped a few times, spilled a few things, and I even broke a glass in the middle of a take.

Yet somehow, none of those things compare to this.

Treating the lead as if he was a PA? Telling him he needs to get a walkie ?

The thought makes me sprint even harder toward the sound stage. Once inside, I scan the area as quickly as I can. There's at least a hundred people in here now and the more I push past, the more I realize they are turning to look at me disapprovingly. I really should find a new shirt first, but it can wait.

"Lana!" I shout when I catch a glimpse of one of her classic colorful scarves. I can see the bright fabric tied in a bow on top of her curly head of hair, but she doesn't turn around.

"LANA!" This time several people, Lana included, turn around.

"Hey!" She runs up to me and sweeps me in a hug, before pulling back with an uncharacteristically miserable expression. "Why are you all wet? Ava, I can see your bra." She pokes my visible white strap.

I swat her away. "Just wait. That is the least of my worries."

I explain the situation, visibly cringing as I await her reaction.

In typical Lana fashion, she bursts into musical hysterics. She covers her mouth when she notices how pained my expression is.

"Lana, I am this close to panicking. You don't think he'll complain, do you?"

"No, no he won't complain. You said he was relatively cool about it, right?"

"Yeah, I mean, he didn't even correct me."

"Exactly. You know if it was one of the Marvel guys from our last picture, you might be in trouble. But from the sounds of it, he probably won't even remember it by tomorrow."

"Yeah..." Why did that idea not make me feel any better?

Lana is snickering again. "You know I sent you the cast list like a month ago, right? How do you of all people not recognize Javi Gutierrez?"

I lower my voice. "You know I'm not an indie movie fanatic."

"I know. It's your fatal friendship flaw. But he was on a bunch of shows, too!"

"I haven't had time for TV with school! Movies are less commitment. Don't scold me in my time of need." I wack her arm.

"Fine, fine," She holds her hands up in defeat. "But seriously Ava, unless you want to continue to give us all a free show you should really get another shirt. I have to get these mics up and running, but go to wardrobe and find Barb."

She's right. The first scene is at 8:00am, and as a sound assistant, Lana has to be ready to mic up the actors as soon as they're out of hair and makeup. I still have to print out scripts for the first few scenes, and I'm really starting to hate the sticky feeling on my stomach.

"Okay, thank you!"

Lana winks at me as I turn and head for the wardrobe trailer on the far side of the lot. Barbra has been on Norwick Productions sets since movies were invented. That is actually the answer she will give a person if they ask how long she's been working. She's the grumpy, tough-love mom I never had. And since Lana is pretty much the only person I hung out with during hiatus, I missed Barb dearly.

Barb's expression pales as soon as she sees me.

"Ava, it's only day one for god's sake."

"Don't worry Barb, Lana already scolded me for you."

"I do like that girl. And I'm guessing you came by to catch up after break, and not simply because you need my help?" She raises a knowing brow.

"Obviously." I flash her a very over-dramatic smile.

"I should give you one of the ratty uniforms from the end of this film for that."

"But you won't, because you love me." I batted my lashes.

"Uh-huh." Barb sighs, disappearing into the depths of the trailer before coming back out with a clean white t-shirt. No fuss, no fake blood.

"You are my guardian angel." I say after swapping the shirts.

"Bring me real coffee tomorrow instead of this crafty crap and we can call it even." She says in a flat tone, and I know she's not kidding.

I give her a quick hug. "It's good to see you Barb."

That makes her chuckle slightly. "You too, kiddo."

I check my watch again. 7:30am. Barely enough time to print out the scripts. I bid Barb a quick goodbye and head to the closest copier.

After kicking it a few times, and uttering several curse words, I got the copier up and running and several copies of today's script printed. I try to skim today's scenes while walking back to the soundstage. I'm beginning to grow curious as to watch is actually happening in this movie. Since we usually shoot scenes out of order, these few pages aren't helping very much.

Back on the soundstage, I spot Lloyd, our director, and walk over to hand him today's pages.

"Ava, welcome back." Lloyd says in his usual artistic drawl. He takes one of the copies from me, flipping through as though looking for something specific, though I know he is barely even skimming the pages.

Part of me is holding my breath, wondering if Javi would have complained to Lloyd or a production manager at this point. I'm not sure when he would have time for that between hair and makeup, but in a world where my mishap today costs me my job, he would find the time.

But, Lloyd is deep in conversation with a cameraman and doesn't spare me another glance. I take that as a good sign, and slowly slink toward the far corner of the room. This way I can still have a good view of the stage without calling too much attention to myself. I can see Lana across the room micing up one of the actors in the scene. Some older gentleman who I heard was popular on a cowboy show that I've never seen. I recognize his face more than I did Javi's, which embarrasses me further, even though the fact is only known to me.

Then, as though the gods of shame were looking down and laughing at me, Javi walks into the large room. I quickly open the first scene's pages to see if I can figure out whom he is playing. That, and so I can take my mind off of how he looks even more attractive in costume. I steal a glance up from the pages and see Lana micing him up now. He's smiling warmly at her, and she chuckles at something he said. Lana tends to laugh at most things, but I can't help but wonder what words were being passed between them.

The two men step onto the CIA set together, both dressed in impeccably tailored suits, making light conversation. Now is my que to bring them their copy of the pages for a final once-over before we roll the cameras. I inhale deeply and set my shoulders back.

Don't be intimidated, Ava. You can't embarrass yourself any worse than you already have.

Well, I know that last part isn't true. But I repeat it to myself all the same.

I walk up to the men, handing them each a copy with a smile.

The older gentleman gives me a friendly nod as he takes the script. Javi gives me the same smile he gave Lana a few minutes prior. I'm turning to leave, and I'm surprised when he says, "Thank you, Ava."

I pause, half out of surprise that he remembered my name, and half over the hesitation of wondering if I should apologize for earlier. But his attention is already on the pages, and there are so many people around to hear me admit my mistakes. I decide against it.

- - -

After we shoot the first few takes, I think I'm starting to piece together what the film is about. In the way that it is not unlike most other spy films I've seen. Older Cowboy, whose real name is still evading me, has a small role as the experienced head of the CIA who brings on Javi's character, a real loose cannon, despite his reservations. There is something about a kidnapping of Javi's lover that makes him "too close to the case," but he lies about his involvement with the woman to make sure he can be the one to save her. I'm assuming that is when we will be in Italy. Spy movies love a good ol' car chase in Europe.

I'm not blown away by the originality of the script or anything, but I'm still engaged in the scene even on their tenth take. I realize that Javi is actually quite talented. I'm only ever engaged in a scene if the actors are talented. That, or if Lloyd is having a breakdown.

I spend the rest of the scene trying not to notice just how well tailored that suit is on Javi. I never leer at the talent, but I always appreciate a good-looking man in a suit. Plus, there is something different about him. He has a kindness to him that I haven't seen with other actors. We've been working with a lot of big names recently, so maybe I've just become disillusioned. Even still, I know some lesser actors who would've complained about my assumption early, even if they painted it as a joke. They would never want me to fully live it down. But not Javi. At least, not so far.

When they call for a break, I decided it would be best to fulfill some of my other duties on another part of the lot.

The rest of the day goes by in a blur. I try to stay away from the soundstage, knowing that they will be working with Javi for the next few hours. I check my watch for the umpteenth today, and I crack a smile when I realize we only have about an hour left. My last stop is Emma Madden's trailer, our leading lady. And then I finally get to drive home and sleep.

I hadn't met Emma before, but similar to Javi, she isn't in the same celebrity category as our last film, so she seems much friendlier. I got a call on my walkie letting me know there was an issue with her food, and with not much else to go off of, I figured I might be in for a celebrity meltdown. However, when I got here, she let me know that she is severely allergic to mustard, and was afraid to touch the sandwich that had been dropped off to her. Sure, maybe it was a little 'Hollywood' for her to have me come and throw it in the garbage for her, but she was pretty apologetic about it.

"Thank you so much, Anna." She says with her knees brought up to her chest, as if she was shielding her center from the turkey sandwich springing back up out of the trash. Her expression is worried and her tone is so sincere that I don't correct her. Not that I would have otherwise.

"Not a problem Ms. Madden." I dust off sesame seeds from my palms.

"Oh please, call me Emma." She smiled at me now, and I couldn't help but like her a little.

"I know a mustard allergy is like, totally random, but it's actually pretty bad. I have an epipen and everything." I know she must be at least thirty years old, but her inflection reminds me of a teenager.

"I'll let crafty know. They should have sent you a food preference and allergy sheet to fill out months ago, that's the studio's fault."

"Oh, they did! I completely forgot about that. I figured it was just if you were a picky eater."

I resisted the urge to roll my eyes.

"Well, no worries. I'll let them know now." I reach for the doorknob of the trailer.

"Thank you again!" Emma called out as I closed the door behind me.

As I'm finally able to drop off my walkie for the day, I run through all the ways that Emma's Mustard Mayhem could have cost the studio hundreds of thousands of dollars. How did they start production without having her sign a waiver? Why did no one double check that all the talent had sent in their allergy lists? If she were a higher profile celebrity, this could have been a huge issue. But as usual, these are the scenarios I keep to myself. And as I drive home, I try to run through only mustard scenarios, and ignore any that pop up with another actor in mind.

can I just say this fandom is getting so ... toxic and out of hand I go to twitter there's shit, I come to tumblr there's more shit 🤡 honestly the hate towards actors and even amongst fans, and creators be it art, fanfic or whatever... Is so disgusting... It's like either you have to agree with every single world someone says or else you're the enemy and get told you should go kys or worse... the racism towards poc actors and overall bully behaviour makes me mad af ... ppl forget how they are just doing their jobs, they don't write the scripts they just act them out...

I haven't interacted with fandom for months now, given the amount discourse between writers had me shook, so basically blocked every account that showed up on dash regarding it all, but with season 2 coming I thought hey why not see how things are... Idk it's like nothing changed for some folk ... They still hate Emma for not being the Rhaenyra they want, the hate Olivia for just playing her part, they hate tom because ... the poor man is playing a controversial character ... They hate Bethany for being a woc ...

Sorry for the rant, I've just been so frustrated with seeing everything... Plan to block all hotd tags and certain creators because honestly I just pop by on tumblr to browse through things and sometimes read a fic or two but lately the amount of bad behaviour I've seen in this fandom from writers or just random hateful folk have just ruined the whole experience for me.

I totally get you nonnie & I’m so sorry you feel this way, especially with s2 just days away from airing…

I do think as unfortunate as it is, majority of this fandom is actually quite heinous and disgusting. the behaviour I’ve seen towards the cast members and towards each other in this space is so hostile and vile, I’m openly ashamed to be part of it. all this back and forth bullshit with TG vs TB is just actual fucking nonsense. like who gives an actual shit? there’s an entire genocide happening but let’s ignore that and rip each other’s heads off about fictional people… humanity at its finest.

I’m actually being deadass when I say, I’m so over this discourse between the teams regarding HOTD. like no team is better than the other, that was the whole point of the story.

hence why, I’m trying to remove myself a little bit from the fandom space especially on tumblr. only trying to focus my energy and interest into the story / show itself.

after all the drama that unfolded especially in this fandom these last few months, there’s a lot of hypocritical behaviour and I’ve honestly got no energy anymore.

more important things in life than arguing with twats on the internet.

so I definitely recommend removing yourself from toxic people in this fandom, whether you need to ghost or block them. you’ll be saving yourself 🫶🏻

sending you only good vibes anon, and I hope you can find some solace in my little corner. that’s what I can offer to anyone that feels the same!

oki my turn!! since i want an updated version of us talking for 2 mths talking non stop now ❤️

did ur impression of me change now? i think ur impression of me was based on how i interacted on my blog? i cant rmb, let's do one based on how we've been interacting everyday now <33

I think we've only interacted for a day or so when I made that post and we talked mostly through reblogs at the time, so I tried my best to envision you from the little info and knowledge of you as a person I had back then! But now do you even want to hear how many messages we have sent to each other during these even less than 2 months?? Get yourself ready, girlie.

SEVENTEEN, I'M TELLING YOU, SEVENTEEN THOUSAND MESSAGES ON DISCORD ONLY. AND IMAGINE JUST HOW MUCH MORE WE INTERACTED ON TUMBLR 😭😭

So yeah, this time our reviews are going to be much more detailed and accurate 🥳

To answer your question, yes, my impression of you did change.

Back then you were just a sweet moot I've made recently and now you're the SWEETEST CHERYL-PIE 😊😊

If I had to describe you in a few words, it'd absolutely be: support, comfort, love and sugar (you're gonna give diabetes to the whole Tumblr community atp)

BUT BUT BUT, I really am grateful we got to meet each other and that we clicked so well 💗💗 Talking to you makes me so, so happy 🥹🥹

And I'm also glad that, even though we do have a timezone difference, it still allows us to talk to each other for the most part of the day!!

I like the part of waking up to new messages just like you do hehe

I also think that we both agree on 👇

Mar × Cheryl 🤝 besties & little and bigger sister dynamic

Literally how I'm feeling right now:

As for the visuals, I'd like to slightly correct the ones I said remind me of you 2 months ago! I still whole-heartedly agree that you feel like vibrant orange and pink sunsets, but now you remind me more of these days of late February/early March when the snow is still everywhere, but the sun starts shining more and you get to feel that hope and life rushing through you? It's all white with no hints of greenery yet, but you already fill that sense of blooming and new life growing everywhere? And similar happiness grows in you as well as you anticipate the spring to fully come (I know you've never got to experience this, but that's how I feel every spring!!)

And you also remind me of these misty gloomy autumn mornings on your way to school when the weather seems far from the best to you and doesn't much help with your sleepy mood, but you know that you're going to have a good day and are looking forward to that?

AND I LOVE YOU SO MUCH TOO YOU DON'T EVEN UNDERSTAND WAHHH

US FR 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗

Hey I’m not sure if I’ve ever interacted with you directly on tumblr before but I just wanted to let you know that you’ve been and you still are A MASSIVE part in the Jiara community🤍

Regarding what you said about writing for Jiara and fearing that people wouldn’t be interested anymore I can say with confidence that if there’s someone how can bring that excitement back, it’s you 🫶🏻

I’ve been reading Jiara fics for years (and yours are some of my favorite that I go back to constantly for comfort) and in the past year I’ve also started writing myself for our beloved ship. Sadly I have to admit that right in this moment I am one of those people that has lost the motivation regarding Jiara, both as a writer and as a reader, but one thing that I hope is that this feeling isn’t permanent but only temporary while we navigate through this pain.

I think I can speak for a lot of us in this situation (or maybe not and I’m wrong lol) when I say that the fact we’re not motivated at the moment is something we wish to get past because we love Jiara, we love their story and we love our community and we hope to keep it alive!

In the past 3 days I’ve tried going to Ao3 to get distracted and find comfort in the fans stories, but everytime I tried to I just couldn’t and I have to say that probably a lot of it is because almost every new upload is about JJ’s death and Kiara’s grieving so it’s a costant pain in the chest, but I just wanted to tell you that what I’ve been thinking in these days is “I’m waiting for Enemies with benefits next chapter”, I am waiting for that chapter because I’m 100% positive that it could be what can make me get past the canon hurt and back at living Jiara like we always have. I’ve been thinking of the update of your fics as a way to hold on to them, as a motivation to find back my way to them ‘cause despite everything I don’t want to let go of them and I don’t think any of us do 😭

You have always had an incredible and unique talent in our fandom, creating alternative universes for them in which they could live so many different lives and I think right now it’s what the Jiara fandom needs, to find an escape in those stories and infinite other possibilities for them and you’ve always been amazing with that. I’m the first one who admits the lack of motivation at the moment both as a writer and a reader, but I think the fandom could never lose interest in your stories and actually probably needs them, you have always offered us an escape🤍

Of course please don’t take this as if I’m trying to tell you “go write” AT ALL ‘cause I’m the first one at the moment who needs time, I just want to tell you to keep going with what you feel it’s right and you want to do and not worry about if we’d still be interested, ‘cause we are and your story are forever gonna be and will be part of what makes this ship special to many!!

I think you could be a great part for us to find back that love and excitement towards their stories, seeing them live in the alternative worlds you’ve built for them is something that has always been special but that right now is even more precious in our fandom…we lost them in OBX, but at least they live their love in that house in Malibu🥹

Don’t worry about us losing interest in your stories, I think we need them more than ever to find a refuge from this ugly canon and could help the fandom to reconnect with them🤍🤍🤍

Sending you lots of love 🫶🏻

This is so encouraging 🥹

I do understand what you’re talking about with going to ao3 and it being nothing but pain. That may be the writers way of grieving, and I completely understand it. I can’t do sad art work of them right now or read anything not happy. I just fell in love with the joy of jiara, I can’t go to pain. Only good vibes and ending from me🥰

I also understand taking a break from it. It really is a tragedy what they did and i doubt I’ll forgive anyone apart of it.

I do know there is one writer who is rewriting the ending to where he lives. Once that’s posted I will be diving into it to rewrite my head cannon. I’ll post the link here when she’s done. I think it’ll be cathartic and a healing fic for us all.

It means a lot that you have found comfort in my fics the way I found comfort in so many others. The connection of this fandom is what I love the most about writing. I met my best friend through this ship and writing and I can never turn my back on it for that alone. I love writing and writing jiara specifically.

Thank you so much for talking with me and encouraging me to keep writing. I will continue 🖤

hi Kelli !! hope you’re having a lovely day :) i’m not sure if you’ve answered something like this before, and no pressure for one!

do you have any advice for getting a fic out to more people, or increasing engagement? i am super new to actually posting what i’ve written, and while it’s so heartwarming seeing the likes, tumblr is very much about reblogs and comments 😃 are there actually any tricks to this, or is it basically just down to luck and the algorithm?

also a huge thank you for the write nights you’ve done, which seriously motivated me to get my ass into gear 🫶🏻

hope you have an amazing rest of your day/night! <3

First of all, I am so glad that you like the write nights! Part of the thing I feel (imo) that has been missing around here is creative encouragement of others? I know it's hard to find your people, and I know it's hard to share, and I know it's hard to find the time in busy schedules to make space for creating and I wanted to sort of tackle all those issues with that night. I myself have found it super motivating, but also just so heartwarming to think of the other people out there all sitting down to create, knowing they are with "their people" while doing so ❤

In terms of engagement, I wish I had a better answer for you my lovely, but the one I have is slightly defeating 😔 that said, here are some things I've noticed:

The site has definitely changed. The likes to reblogs ratio has been off for over a year and has only gotten worse as the fandom has expanded, due to the migration of users from other platforms where engagement IS liking. Tumblr was never meant to be used this way, as the dash is created by reblogs, but it doesn't seem that people participating in the fandom are interested in learning the correct way (in my observation). I don't think this will get better any time soon - in fact, I only think it's going to get worse.

That said, I would: reblog your own work several times a day just to get it into the algorithm/tags, respond to all reblogs with your own reblog to boost it back into circulation (and engage with people who like it!), make friends who will in turn reblog your work (though it should never be an assumption/one should not feel entitled to it because of the friendship because that just makes for hurt feelings, not everything is for everyone), don't be afraid to rec your own stuff when people ask for recommendations and above all else, just keep writing and posting. It took me ages to get interaction on my work, and even now it's hit or miss depending on the subject/character/trope.

I know it can feel defeating when you see some things that have a billion notes, but remember that there are so many factors that can come into it: fandom (marvel and tlou have enormous fanbases and I have noticed their metrics are often super skewed), creators that have been posting for years and have built up a base during that time, or even something as simple as it "hitting the dash at the right time" aka people just seem to like it for whatever reason on that given day aka luck, lol.

Something I like to do when I feel bummed about engagement is work on my own skills - not because you need to be super talented in order to get notes, but it helps me feel better about the piece itself, which helps me think less about the actual engagement because I found so much satisfaction within the creative process alone, if that makes sense? Another reason behind the write nights ❤

I wish I had something more concrete for you, but it really does boil down to: persistence, working on your skills, engaging meaningfully with others in the fandom and luck. ❤

#god I hope this was helpful even remotely #dm me if you wanna chat!

SMALL BREAK ANNOUNCEMENT

Hi everyone! Im sorry for being inactive and worrying some of you with my last post. I haven't been doing the best for awhile now and I didn't want to step away from tumblr because I love interacting with you all, doing role plays and making new posts/games/headcanons for you all, but I've felt discouraged these past few weeks about my work. I know I shouldn't, but there are so many wonderful writers here who have a huge following and many interactions, so it's hard to not compare myself to them. I was so depressed about it last week that I deleted two of my blogs which I am semi regretting now. But I don't want to end the interactions here with my mutes, I think I just need some more time to work on my mental health. I will reply to my current role plays soon but after that things will be a little bit slower than usual. Im gonna be taking small breaks so I can deliver you all better content. That being said I'm still gonna be here and I'm always open to talk if you want to stay in touch. I have a few projects I've already started so I want to finish those after my replies, so I will have new stuff out but do not expect it anytime soon. I want you all to know I appreciate everyone who follows/interacts/likes/reblogs my work. I've been here a little under five years and so damn appreciative to have my small but safe little community here. I hope you continue to stick with me, even if my works aren't as good as others or as popular. Hope you all have/had a great day! Luv u!!!! 🫶🏻

I love how the T girlies are so starved that they'd be happy with any and every crumb! I understand it my girls, I have been lusting over Henry Cavill all my adult life 😂

As for spicy chat, there wasn't any "tumblr approved" spicy chat, nothing that wild, just a lil some some! but yeah we spoke about general stuff and meeting when we could find the time. But I doubt that'll happen and neither am I into pestering a famous man simply for the fact he has clout. I got work to do, unfortunately 🥲

In terms of being straight forward, no ofc he never said the words “I want sex, bye”. But it was implied in the beginning. However it changed in a few days and he was more laid back and chill. People change the way they interact as they get to know you, and that’s what happened.

As for everyone loving my msg to him, THANK YOU 😂♥️ I didn’t think it was such a masterstroke until tonight. You girls make me feel like such a Queen. Girlfriends >>>> any man, truly 🫶🏻

Hey!! I love all your fics, especially your Better Man Series it’s definitely my favorite Jake Seresin story on Tumblr!!

I was hoping to put in a request for Jake if I may!!

The reader is Maverick’s daughter and Jake’s wife and is a elementary school teacher on base (kindergarten or 1st grade), and maybe she brings her class to Top Gun on a field trip so all the kids can see the plane’s and all the kids are so excited!

There is this one little boy who is as cute as a button and has little round glasses (because for some reason I think little boys with glasses are absolutely adorable) and he is practically attached to the readers hip because he’s shy and has really bonded with the reader, he’s definitely her favorite student.

Jake sees how the reader is with the little boy, lifting him up to see parts of the jet, holding his hand the whole time, and snapping a few pictures of him and the other kids for their parents and for you to put up in your class room. Watching you interact with the kids makes him really want a baby with you and maybe later that night he mentions that he wants a baby and the reader is so happy because she had been thinking of how to tell Jake that she wanted to start trying for a baby. They immediately start trying for a baby (maybe we see the baby making haha 😂) and after a few months they find out they are pregnant!

They tell the rest of the squad and everyone is so happy for them, Mav definitely cries because he’s finally going to be a grandpa. Jake dotes on the reader through her whole pregnancy and will even stop by the school to eat lunch with her and spend some time with her class, now the little boy is attached to Jake as well. When the reader goes into labor Jake is there coaching her through the whole process helping her in anyway he can. When the baby is finally born they are both in awe of how much it looks like both of them and they couldn’t be more in love.

And to think that if maybe the reader had brought her kids to Top Gun sooner, she would have already had a baby and she and Jake wouldn’t have had to tiptoe around each other.

I’m sorry this is so long, I just love the way you write so much and couldn’t resist!! I hope you can find the time to write this, I’m sure you are very busy! But if not, I completely understand!! Thank you!! 🫶🏻🫶🏻

Hello, Nonnie!!

So I love the idea and I've decided to make it into a series. Sweet Nothings!

I did change a few details, which I hope is okay!

Same things: Reader is a Mitchell, married to Jake, a kindergarten teacher, and visits top gun! (Also Smut and Fluff babes!)

Different things: It's an adoption story (Reader does IVF) and it twins instead of just the boy.

I really hope you like it, if not reach out again and I will try to get this specific ask done. 🤍 Also I'm so happy that you love Better Man! It's my baby and knowing you guys love it, just makes my day!! Thank you so much for your support and I hope you like the new series!!!

P.s. my lovely G @topguncortez is currently writing a teacher x Jake. That has the reader getting pregnant! It’s not exactly like what you asked for, but it has some of the things! It’s called What to Expect

Love

-G
