so i have a mildly popular “reblog and put in in the tags” post going around and its. very clear how many people don’t know how to interact with a tumblr post

so, first of all, tumblr’s culture has changed a lot in the past couple years. there’s a genuine community effort to not start any drama, and ironically a lot of the current hostility is an effort to keep things calm. there’s also a change in how people interact with posts, so if you haven’t been here in a while please skip down to the tags/replies/reblog with text section.

for newcomers: you should be reblogging posts about as liberally as you would like something on twitter. if you only like stuff, people will think you are rude/a bot. you’ve probably heard people talk about “cultivating your dash,” and thats because this platform is 100% centered around your dashboard. trending matters less, unfollowing and blocking in order to shape your dash into it’s best form is widely accepted, the majority of the content you’ll find and interact with will be because of your dash, and the only way to put things on your dash is to reblog them. tumblr users are deeply distrustful of algorithms and have largely turned off the “see posts your friends have liked” function (i recommend you also turn of the various algorithms in settings → general settings → dashboard preferences).

so, once you’ve reblogged a post, there’s three ways to add content to it. the tags, replies, and reblogging with text. all of them have different connotations

the tags: an inside voice. originally they were meant for organizing your blog (and they’re still used for this), but they’ve also morphed into a way to share thoughts that aren’t funny/insightful enough for non-followers to be interested in. when in doubt, put your comment in the tags

replies: basically talking to your friends in class. your followers have no way of finding your replies (they don’t pop up on the dash, nobody gets notified except for the original poster) so chances are, only the person who made the post is gonna see your comment. it’s for quick one-offs that you’re okay with other people overhearing, but really is only made for one person. they’re like a public dm

reblog with text: an outside voice. you’re getting up on a stage in town square and entertaining people. make sure it’s funny or insightful— bottom line, add something new to the conversation. you should use this the least

general rules of thumb: 

when in doubt, reblog. people will judge you if your blog is only personal posts and you only interact with other content by liking it.  

the only things people will judge you for reblogging are personal vent posts. leave a like to give a little virtual hug

if a post is asking about your personality/opinions (i.e: tell me what’s the last tv show you watched, that kind of thing) put it in the tags 

also if you see a nice edit, gifset, or art, reblog and say something nice in the tags! it’s that nice sweet spot of common enough that no one will notice but uncommon enough to make the artist’s day

i have too many followers so i will.do a giveaway now !! put in yhe comments and rebolgs what you blog about and who you are and stuff and if you are a lucky chosen one you will get a nrew people following you who would enjoying seeing that !!

AUGH FUCKING EXPLODES . pointing at dazai and chuuya. Pointing at Subspace and medkit. They're like different flavors of similar brand of guy

ref under the cut

The mines only explode if the enemy team steps on them! So you can lead people through them! Or if you catch an enemy lingering near a bunch of them tap your reload button ( R on PC. Your ammo on mobile) to set em all off while the enemy is nearby! Other general tips is don't forget to use your M2 twice to slam people back into the ground and never be afraid to be a sneaky little shit, lingering on the edge of point but still in it, tossing poison in then leaving as soon as you draw attention to yourself if you need health and your team isn't there to support you

Domino valley sucks but I've had a very really good maps there. Launching people off edges is great, I haven't done it with meddy yet but i have as Subspace and Boombox and it's so funny

I love being a subspace, medkit, and scythe main bc

A. I adore them all

B. No one expects u to hit em with the "I love playing aggressive meddy :3" after getting 22 assists as medkit but the subspace main speech patterns overrule all other mains sorry. Tbh I think if I met a scythe main who called medkit meddy it would kill me in one shot with psychic damage so I hope I'm doing that exact thing to other people

C. Being on a map I hate and going "fine! No more support for any of you!" And gunning people down as scythe is like therapy. To me.

Yep!! I have loads of Subspace strategy due to playing him way too much, an example of which being clustering tripmines in an area so that when someone like boombox, sword, or banhammer chases me I can bait them into the tripmines and suddenly tank a large amount of their health.

If you play a super aggressive subspace that knows how to run away and use your team as a shield it works well bc you get around 25 hp for every assist and kill you get. I love being a subspace main <3

Domino valley I think and yeahhh I also dislike that map. Banlands can get pretty bad and seems to have gotten so much worse lately but usually people are chiller there than on telamon in matches I'm in

That's fair but I love rocket arena. Setting up 5 tripmines in an entryway, watching someone not pay attention, then lose 60 health in a second and even more with the rapid poison damage is SO fun

I may not win conquer on protect telamon but I will shoot every fucker I see and the kill count will heal my rage at that map

that works too!! the pit does not win today /lh - idia

Sadly <//3333 none pit for me until I awaken from my slumber

ok. i appreciate the dedication. maybe 20 more layers & then call it a night /lh - idia

alas the silly little guys in my brain have already forced me off of my video game

GOD I FORGOT ABOUT THE FUCKING CAVE UPDATE.

- idia

Yeah . Making pits is a significantly larger task now. But I am dedicated to my craft

ok but consider. how far are u from bedrock/redstone. compromise /lh - idia

Very. I'm only at like. 30 coords wise . And this is post cave update so pits are obnoxious to make now

I'm planning on turning it into a layered farm once it's done :]

IAJSJSJFJFJFJFJFJ you're such a creature dude. we need to play mc together again at some point i need to help u make a pit again /lh - idia

ya it's like tradition at this point to be honest. I do it in any server I get my hands on

It's 4 am I should be going to bed (I only got 3 hours of sleep last night) but my minecraft world is going so nicely and I wanna continue mining out the pit (16x16 hole I've been digging to bedrock with mostly stone pickaxes)
