#I’m afraid that I might accidentally delete my entire main account | Explore Tumblr Posts and Blogs

You've mentioned you have several blogs, so... I have one blog at the moment, but it's a mismatch of topics and content and it's kinda jarring. I'm toying with the idea of making a few blogs to separate my shit and I was wondering if you have any advice? Thanks! ❤

sdghlksdhgs I WROTE OSMETHING OUT AND IT DELETED, so, uh, here’s the less fancy version.

First and foremost–just know you don’t have to create multiple sideblogs. I enjoy filing things into separate categories and making tags. If you don’t want to put in the effort to manage multiple blogs, you don’t gotta. If you’re concerned about followers not liking some of the shit you post, just tag as well as you can so they can blacklist what they don’t like and more easily find what they do like. Who knows, maybe keeping all of your shit in one space means someone will find your blog and go, “Holy shit, this bitch not only likes X, she also likes, Y?? AND Z????” and that’s an instant friend!

Or maybe you’re like me when I was a freshman in college and your friends go, “I wanna follow your tumblr but I can’t fucking stand that you’re posting Glee, so I might have to unfollow you” and so you make a separate sideblog. And then you had to keep doing that because everyone hates your newest hyperfixation (thus main and personal blog became those 2 blogs + 1d blog + anime blog + kpop blog).

ANYWAYS my actual TIPS are–

XKIT ALWAYS. The one click postage with the drop down menu makes reblogging to separate accounts SO EASY. Also, if you wanna migrate content from your main to your sideblog, quick tags helps out a bunch.

@theme-hunter is good for finding multiple, distinct themes for each of your blogs so they all have their own flavor!

Don’t be afraid to promo and cross post. If I make a post on my main blog but want it to get more attention, I can and will reblog it to this blog and rub it in your faces.

Use similar tagging styles across blogs. I fucked this up and now how I tag ships on some blogs does NOT match how I tag them on others and it SUCKS. My main blog I used to do NameName and on my anime blog I do Name X Name because it makes searching easier. ANd it’s… annoying.

Don’t stress too much about having a clear division of what posts go where. Like, Tessa Thompson is supposed to go on my main blog since she’s an MCU actress. But also she was in a Janelle Monae video, so she ends up on my music blog and she was in Sorry to Bother You, so she ends up here sometimes too. Sometimes, the same post of her goes on all three blogs. Who gives a fuck? You’re reblogging content yout hink is quality, why not reblog it 18 fucking times.

Don’t post shit on one blog you wouldn’t want people on the other blogs to find out. I don’t care if your sideblog is Super Anonymous, just don’t have them linked to the same account. You can and will reblog things to the wrong account and it’s gonna be awkward if one blog is “Here’s my penis photoshopped to look like different DND races and classes” and your main blog is something your family follows.

Have fun. It’s fucking tumblr, nothing here matters.

Also, be prepared for some blogs to matter more than others. For a long time, my 1d blog felt like my main blog even tho… it’s a sideblog. Now, I am a husk of a human being and this blog is more my main blog… even though it is also a sideblog. Shit happens.

On that note, DON’T put shit on one blog that you would mind seen on another blog. If your sideblog is “Here’s my dick photoshopped into famous cinematic moments” and your main is something nice your friends and family follow... you WILL accidentally put your entire dick and balls onto your main blog by accident. ANd, no, you won’t delete it fast enough.

And now it’s time for me to promote the fuck out of my other blogs for attention

Follow @karolinamean for Marvel shit (mostly Captain America but also Spidey/Black Panther/Thor/Runaways/Young Avengers) and then other fandom shit like The Good Place, Star Wars, and other shit idk.

Follow @solourries for… mostly Louis Tomlinson, sometimes Harry Styles, Janelle Monae, Lorde, and Mitski. Or at least check out my /tagged/audio on that blog if you like STephanie’s Music Night.

Follow @riskyaim for kpop which is every kpop girl I love and then yoongi.

Follow @finitefantasy for anime and video games, mostly Sasuke, Dragon Age, Overwatch, HXH, and other shit.

Most of these blogs have tags pages (although solourries’ has been under construction for like two years) if you wanna know more about them.

ALso while you’re at it follow my twitter @watchyurionice and yes i do refuse to change that @.

ALSO ALSO if you ARE familiar with 1d and see my “solourries” url, no, I’m not a larry. I just only care about 2/5 of the ex members of 1d. And… sometimes I care about larry in a non-shipping, “Wow I miss their friendship that existed before larries ruined it” way. And sometimes in a very removed from reality shipping way but also I’m not delusional and I know not even their friendship is alive at this point, so like, it’s fINE. I just wanna imagine a universe where their friendship didn’t have to die an awful death like it did in this one. I watched that shit die n real time over several years, I’m allowed to have fanfic. No, we are not doing shipping discourse about boybands on this blog.

ANYWAAAAYS sideblogs are fun I have like 12. All at least semi-active. Lmao.
