hiiii haha. hello. exceptionally awkward introduction bc idrk how to start something like this so let's just jump right in. im taking a break from this account for a bit. i know i said i wanted taob out before halloween and currently im fine sticking with that deadline, but if i decide i need longer away then i will take longer away. every time ive reassured people that id never abandon a fic and updates will always come eventually i never once considered that my writing and ability to feel safe and comfortable on this site would be actively taken from me, so im not even going to apologise. i dont want this either and more importantly i dont fucking deserve it. i dont know what it is in the past year, if ive hit a certain amount of followers or 'popularity' that's made it so the natural ratio of positive to negative interactions must in turn go up, but there's been a serious uptick in weird asks for me. the annoying part is that a very small amount of them are actually objectively mean and hateful, the rest are just weird and invasive from people who seemingly dont realise that's what they're being. ive reached a point where i dont care if the intentions are good. it's not my job as a 20 year old tumblr user of all things to defend the morality of someone who couldnt even bother to come off anon. unfortunately, after blocking only one or two anons, the weird asks have decreased substantially, which says all you need to know about the fascinating and exhilarating lives led by these people, but ive also gone on to turn anon asks off entirely. this is something i actively fought against doing and had to be pushed into by my mutuals (who have been the coolest people on planet earth during this entire thing). turning off anon was a big deal to me even if it sounds silly. i felt betrayed and like id been backed into a corner because it was so vehmently something i DIDNT WANT that to feel like i had to do it anyway for my own mental health??? that sucks. so even though ive 'fixed' the problem, im still kind of reeling and uncomfortable every time i come on tumblr. i hope it's just something i need time to ease because i'll truly be devastated if this becomes 'ruined' for me. tumblr exists as the only place in the world where i am honestly every facet of myself without shame or hesitation; losing that would be insanely harmful to me. and to the people who cant appeal to the actual human behind the post, let me put that in words you can understand: we wouldn't get any more writing 😦😦😦 riots and fires and sirens, i know. so yeah. to anyone who has sent me an anon ask and you're now wondering if you were part of the problem, im firmly of the belief that you'll know if you are. when i say 'weird asks' i dont mean 'you sent me a para about your personal life just to vent or ask for advice' or 'you sent me a really deep emotional compliment about the impact me and/or my writing has had on you' - i love asks like that, so much that i put off taking a break and turning off anon solely for the joy they bring me. im sorry that it might feel like you're being punished too bc of the actions of what in reality is a HANDFUL of weird people, but this is what i feel like i have to do to feel safe and not go insane every time i log in. love you guys, hopefully ill see you soon x

tumblr users criticising tiktok is literally this meme. you guys are also constantly exposed to and sharing misinformation. you guys also have the attention span of a fruit fly from being here 10 hours a day. you guys also engage in mass-harrassment. there is also propaganda on here. there is also a racism and transphobia problem on here. critical thinking leaves much to be desired on here too. media literacy is a joke on here too.
''but it's not pushed by an algorithm on tumblr so it's good and pure!'' you are not immune!!! to being radicalised!! even on tumblr!!! tiktok is just faster with more users. every social media site is equally as capable tho.

my 13 year old self was raised by 1989 i remember obsessively listening to welcome to new york for the line "and you can want who you want / boys and boys and girls and girls" which isn't a revolutionary life changing battle cry for the lgbt community or anything but it's very straightforward glitter gel pen taylor swift-esque nonetheless and AS A FRESH TEEN I ENJOYED IT. as a 22 year old i still enjoy it!

mother doesn’t have favorites
but babygirl as a spot is taken however, my mutuals do have their own tags so if you ever want to come off anon you can join the party 🩷

Well, this was fairly uncommon.
He was craving…attention. How unbecoming. He'd have to stuff this down somehow.
