The TikTok-fication of Tumblr and why it needs to stop before your fave writers are gone for good:
1. âPart 2??â
Unlike TikTok, writing 5,000 words for a fic does not happen in 6 seconds or more. Weekly updates are from a writer who spoils you and is passionate about their story. Donât kill the passion by demanding for more and not appreciate whatâs already given.
2. The DC Conundrum
Many writers on this platform hail back from the ff.net days where dark content is a norm, not like TikTok where even death has to be censored or you could get flagged.
Despite that, writers are doing you a service by sharing fic warnings despite how it may take away from a plot twist or a big reveal. However, thereâs a fine line between sharing warnings and downright spoiling our own work. Heed the warnings, donât be a dick. If you donât like it, donât read it. Learn how to filter your own content, too, while you're at it.
3. The Wild Algorithm
Unlike TikTok, Tumblrâs FYP is not in your face and you have a choice to not view it. Content often gets buried a few days after itâs posted without reblogs or comments to keep it alive.
4. Passive Content Consumption
Ties back with point #1. If youâre only sitting back and reading works without supporting the writers, they canât spend 6 seconds to conjure up a fic. Writing takes time, editing, proofreading. Tumblr is a book club, not a delivery service.
5. De(constructive) Criticism
If an opinion isnât asked for, donât give it. Many writers choose this craft for their own enjoyment and to share a thought or story about a beloved character to those who love them, too. If an opinion is asked? Be kind when you share it across to them. No one likes their hard work to be shat on by someone who doesnât understand the time and effort it took to create this piece.
6. Are You My Content Machine?
Again, back to point #1. Writers have busy lives. There are days when we want to scream into the void about our favourite characters. We want to share our thoughts about them or sometimes, we just want to talk about what happened during lunch break. Demanding and expecting that a writer post content without giving a shit about the soul behind the screen? Dehumanizing.
Donât ruin the experience for those of us who are still here. Do your part to make fandom better for everyone.

rating: pg |Â word count: 0.8k
genre/au: slice of life, domestic!au, family!au
content: dad yoongles đ„ș and cute stuff (what is happening to me)
a/n: happy 30th birthday to the loml yoongi! finally posting a dilf drabble for him and posted on time. i suddenly wrote this out of nowhere after seeing some clips from the RUN episode last year because he's just a husband material oml i couldn't help it >.<
The smile hasnât left your lips when you hear the bickering at a distance.Â
Youâre currently approaching the door right at the corner, carrying a tray of snacks and a pitcher to where the source of the noise is from. You knock as soon as you reach the door but they couldnât seem to hear it because when you opened the door, your daughter and husband are still arguing in front of a canvas on the floor.
More like your baby girl complaining while Yoongi is purposefully being stubborn to tease her.
"daddy, come on, it's pretty easy" your toddler huffs as she tugs on Yoongi's rolled-up sleeve. Your husbandâs wearing a yellow suede shirt, paired with a white one underneath that made you mildly concerned about getting dirty until he reassured you that heâd be careful. Heâs wearing a long dark green canvas apron but even if it gets messy later on, heâd never mind so long as it makes his little girl happy.Â
Your daughterâs little eyebrows are still scrunched together as she stares at her father's canvas. She seems to want him to paint a similar picture as hers, with bright colours closely depicting a flower garden. Your heart melts at what youâre seeing, Yoongi watching your daughter fondly while she tries to teach him how to paint like her.
The art supplies scattered around the covered floor that they're both on just add how beautiful what youâre looking at is. And now you know what to paint on your canvas.
You have to carefully mind your steps until you reach the table so you can place the snack tray youâre carrying.
Itâs the weekend and youâre both thankfully off from work, allowing you and Yoongi to have a bonding time with your daughter. Every week, you let her pick on what activity youâre all doing as a family and this time its painting.  Â
"he's too lazy, mommy!" your daughter accuses, finger pointing at her father while holding a mini paint brush with her other hand. Sheâs pertaining to the plain hues of colour that Yoongi has been painting so far and it made you giggle. You approach his sitting form to see his progress so far.Â
"not bad yoongs" you stare at his canvas of greys and blues with a teasing lilt in your tone making Yoongi pout.
"can you see my ruthless brush strokes? my plan was to only paint whatever comes to mind" he complains, lips puckering at your comment and it makes you laugh even more.Â
.
"okay, break time for now" you called, unloading the snacks and a pitcher of pineapple juice. Your daughter immediately drops her brush and excitedly approaches you, having you remind her to be careful not to step on anything.
You handed her a glass of juice and a small slice of pajeon.Â
"thank you mommy"
âask daddy to get his shareâ
She hesitates a bit before calling for her Dad in which Yoongi replies with âiâm almost done babyâ.Â
He's getting lost in what he's doing again, similar to when he's working that you often have to remind him to get breaks.
âthe hotteokâs gonna get cold Yoongi'' you playfully scold him, aware that he usually prefers to eat it quickly while itâs hot.
This got his attention and he eventually stands up, following his daughter to where youâre currently sitting. He grabs a bite and takes one fish-shaped bread after, humming when he tastes the red bean inside it. Of course, you have to make two flavours since he prefers that flavour while your daughter loves the custard cream filling like you do.
You help your daughter sit in her chair and move towards Yoongi next, bringing up his left arm to take off the hair tie from his wrist. He raises a brow at you, munching another piece of hotteok.Â
âyouâve been moving your bangs a lot earlier, donât want any paint on themâ you smile, gathering his hair and pulling it back before securing it with the hair tie youâre holding. Yoongi's hair has been very luscious since he started growing it, and you've been doing your best to keep the scissors away.
However, youâre starting to regret doing so and your husband seems to notice it. Yoongi knows how you love his man bun, that little quirk of his lips stayed the entire time until he finished his glass of juice.Â
He stands up to grab his apron to finish his own canvas, ignoring your flustered reaction.Â
âmommy, comeâ your daughter breaks your reverie when her tiny hands reach for yours, dragging you to the empty canvas on her left side.
They've both gone quiet and are now focusing on their own canvases so you decide to do the same. You sat down and stare blankly at the canvas, forgetting what you wanted to paint when suddenly you feel strong arms caging you from behind.
Only then do you notice the paint streaks on your daughter's face, who's grinning widely while holding her small wood palette in her hand, fingers coated with paint as they reach out to your cheeks.
âyour turnâ Yoongi whispers beside you with his gummy smile, giving you a quick peck on the cheek before applying his paint-coated fingers to your other cheek.
In the end, you never get to paint anything on your canvas.

cupidâs curse | myg (m.)

. After holding back for so long and teasing lol hereâs my very first smut fic and oh btw itâs inspired by my first love so đ€Ą
â part of exâs & whyâs series â moodboardÂ
A week of deadlines drained you to the point that you didnât mind going to a get-together you got invited to, well the invitation is for all post-graduate students anyways. You donât usually go to parties or any gatherings anymore since you started grad school but its fucking exhausting with all the meetings and papers to submit plus having to mark undergradâs papers.
And instead of relaxing by letting go of all the things that have been wearing you down lately, youâre currently thinking of someone that has been bothering your mind these past few months.
Yoongi.
Youâre not sure if heâll be there despite the fact that the gatheringâs for every department since he hated going to those during your earlier college days. Parties like this may look the same as the undergrad ones but the main difference is that this seems more cozy because everyone knows each other already rather than random strangers you meet on the latter.
You hate that you still think of him even in times when youâre supposed to chill. Walking into the house that you donât even know who the owner is, you spotted some of his friends which made you nervous because heâll appear for sure any seconds later.
Yoongi knows youâre here. Hell the only reason he came to this gathering is because he knows that youâll finally come. Not that heâs waiting, okay, yeah he is, so? Maybe heâll get a chance to finally talk to you.
