• Also, reblogging blog, currently posting at least twice a day! Fanart, fun stuff, and cool facts usually. As of this edit August 2022, it’s got a big focus on Dracula Daily.

• And I’ve got a rambly / doodles blog! I’m active over there too. Also mostly Dracula Daily at the moment lol.

I didn’t know this account (cazaui-rexan) would get stuck as a permanent base account the way I did it, but o well tha’s jus’ how it goes lol :D (Seriously, though, that’s a terrible design, tumblr. Booooo.) See you at my main blog, hopefully! I draw memes and make gifs.

(I’m not pinning this post for a reason: If there are ever any posts after this one here, it was an accident and will get moved and deleted when I notice it haha oops that happens sometimes)

#reblogging so it's the SECOND post on this account. again hopefully this will be pinned again in the future once the bot siege lessens

if i blocked you by mistake -- as in you're an actual person -- you can message me from a different account, let me know your or your friend's other url, and i'll unblock you.

If you’re a real human person still using the default tumblr avatar, consider changing it.

why should you change it?

When you guys pop up in our notifications, most seasoned tumblr users will suspect you’re a bot and block on sight.

why do we block immediately?

tumblr has a history of bots trying to infiltrate and establish a connection to a valid, existing blog in order to populate google searches. Simply liking or reblogging a post, not just adding a scam link to it, establishes this connection. Tumblr users don’t want this to happen, especially if it’s a scammy p*rn bot. So, we often block on sight.

So now I have to reblog stuff AND change my pfp?

Well, of course that’s up to you! I just want to explain why you may have been already blocked by an artist/blogger you may have discovered recently, and how you can avoid it in the future.

Reblogging does help creators more than likes because your reblogs will show up on the dash of those that may follow you. Plus, reblogging puts that post on your own blog, and in case the original gets deleted or edited by the OP, it’ll be on your blog like that–forever (or until you delete your blog). Nice.

Here are some free icons created by catalyststuff on freepik. Highly recommend their art for a simple replacement!

yep yep this this. if you don't have any posts or a clearly personalized non-bot profile description, blocked and reported. (ON THE OTHER HAND, I NOW GET EXTRA HAPPY SEEING AN ACTUAL PERSON FOLLOWED ME LOL)

i've gotten up to five bot followers in a day, and i'm a small small tumblr user. so the poor actually-popular people have a lot more to sift through.

(if i blocked you by mistake, you can message me from a different account, let me know your or your friend's other url, and i'll unblock you.)

To people signing up for new accounts: if your profile is of the name/age format with a conventionally attractive woman as the banner picture that isn't obviously a fandom lady, I'm going to assume you're a porn-bot and I'm going to block you immediately.

So if you did this and you're a real human being, show off your non-bot-side in literally any other way. Please. Add some funny meme that isn't funny anymore. State your sexuality loud and proud. Tell us what fictional character you dream about every night. Do something.

#pinned for the foreseeable future 'til the bot siege dies down

How to Make Your Descriptions Less Boring

We’ve all been warned about the dangers of using too much description. Readers don’t want to read three paragraphs about a sunset, we’re told. Description slows down a story; it’s boring and self-indulgent. You should keep your description as short and simple as possible. For those who take a more scientific approach to writing fiction, arbitrary rules abound: One sentence per paragraph. One paragraph per page. And, for god’s sake, “Never open a book with weather” (Elmore Leonard).

But what this conventional wedding wisdom fails to take into account is the difference between static and dynamic description. Static description is usually boring. It exists almost like a painted backdrop to a play. As the name suggests, it doesn’t move, doesn’t interact or get interacted with.

There were clouds in the sky. Her hair was red with hints of orange. The house had brown carpeting and yellow countertops.

In moderation, there’s nothing wrong with static description. Sometimes, facts are facts, and you need to communicate them to the reader in a straightforward manner.

But too much static description, and readers will start to skim forward. They don’t want to read about what the house looks like or the stormy weather or the hair color of each of your protagonist’s seventeen cousins.

Why? Because they can tell it’s not important. They can afford to skip all of your description because their understanding of the story will not be impacted.

That’s where dynamic description comes in. Dynamic description is a living entity. It’s interactive, it’s relevant. It takes on the voices of your narrators and characters. In short, it gives us important information about the story, and it can’t be skimmed over.

So how do you make your description more dynamic so that it engages your readers and adds color and excitement to your story? Here are a few tips.

(I have a TON more tips about setting and description. These are just a few. But I’m trying to keep this short, so if you have any questions or want more advice about this, please feel free to ask me.)

Keep reading
