#unnecessary to pull a line from an 18th century poem you felt was most fitting of a brand of food your character likes so you could reblog

☢ What fads/trends are you so over?

the salty af munday meme

super super aesthetically based tags and themes and everything. maybe I’m biased because I can’t afford photoshop, and I don’t know how graphic art works half the time, so maybe if I wasn’t stupid to that then I wouldn’t feel bad, but, half of the time, it’s super complicated, some themes people use don’t work, the actual ‘blog’ of their blog is about 10% of my screen and the rest is a humongous picture of their muse with pretty graphics and stars twinkling that are made out of like twenty lines of coding.

you do you man, but, I can’t fucking see anything sometimes. I don’t even have a proper mouse for my laptop, and I can’t scroll properly, everything I do is through the touchpad, so, one theme an RP’er I once followed had unseeable scroll bars, most did, but I straight up had to click on it if I wanted to scroll. I could never click on it. I could never find it. I could never scroll. which is fine since tumblr has that viewer thing, but! I couldn’t see their rules page! I couldn’t scroll down it! So they would send me RP memes and I would not respond. Because I couldn’t read their own rules.

autoplaying billy music players too. they’re about three milimeters big on my computer screen, and I can’t click them off fast enough. also. every time I soft refresh the blog, it plays again.

I hate this because in about several months it’ll be a different fad, and we’re all just going to have to struggle through, and whoever does their adapting to weird bullshit Elite Tumblr Format™ is seen as the Best RP Blog™, whether their writing is good or not. man, I don’t have any other skill but writing, so, I’ve got no chance against fancy editing basically. Is it so wrong to get into a hobby to read and write things and also want to read what people write? The scene changes so quickly I will never catch up, by the time I learn how to do digital graphics for the way your proper RP promo should look, there’s a different format for how it should look. I give up. I’m gonna stick with my shitty theme with a large font and struggle through digital graphics or at best ask for help. I’ve considered dropping actual money on an RP blog theme and icons and a promo, but, I don’t think it’ll make a difference, nor will it make people like me more, it’ll just give off the vibe that I’m Elite™™ basically, so, I don’t want that. That and I’m broke, I like RP because it’s a free hobby, all things considered. I don’t have to pay to sign up for an email or tumblr, so that appeal is there all on it’s own.)
