#i'm sorry but i don't want bots on my blog so some people are getting blocked since i can't tell

WHAT'S NEXT:
The out pouring of love for this blog has swept me off my feet. I knew the logic behind the follower count, but this weekend proved to me without a shadow of a doubt just how much this fandom cherishes these characters and this story.
I am overwhelmed with adoration towards every. single. one. of you.
I took the weekend to finally recoup after the whirlwind of this past year but wanted to take a moment now to answer some of the questions I've seen pop up and to inform you all of what my plans are for what's next.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
WILL YOU CONTINUE THE ACCOUNT THIS YEAR?
This took me a long time to ponder and I wanted to make sure I was in the correct headspace to answer it. Short answer: No.
Long answer: All For The Game is near and dear to my heart. And the reason I began this account was because the dates for 2023 matched that of the dates they were meant to be in 2006. To continue it in the year 2024 would mean the dates would be completely wrong and a lot more logistics would have to occur beforehand.
But also-- I'm not the best when it comes to technology, especially when it comes to BOTS so every post that was published was typed out, formatted and scheduled by hand by me. I did not have help. I did not have proofreaders, or editors, or managers. I contacted all the artists myself, sorted through every single page of the artists to find matches to the story, read and re-read the books for exact or guesstimation of dates/times, and made a hell of a lot of typos on the way through all that.
There was probably an easier way that I could have done all this. But I didn't/don't know it. So that all boils down to: It’s a long and tiring process.
Don't get me wrong, it was worth all the hours. And all the sleepless nights I had getting everything done and out. I already thanked my support network, but without my wife and my best friend being there to make me another cup of coffee, walk our dog, do the chores and generally make sure I didn't crumble from the pressure -- none of this would have happened.
So, putting myself through that again, after everything that has happened this year alone-- felt like it would cheapen the experience I had when the dates won't even match.
That being said.... 2034 isn't that far away. >__>
WILL YOU BE DOING AN OTDITSC?
Short answer: No.... sorry.
Long answer: As stated, it is VERY hard to organize what and how I did. HOURS spent researching, organizing, scheduling, etc. Time spent away from my family and other hobbies. NOT time I regret (need to keep prefacing that) but time I want back now. At least for a little bit.
It also doesn't sit right for me to start an OTDITSC when I know some people are still waiting for their copies. There are so many of us out here (as I've come to find out) and I don't want to exclude people's enjoyment and connection that this account gives. I also feel like the more posts about TSC out there, the harder it is for those who are (lets say) waiting for the physical copies to block/mute spoilers. We can say a tag is enough, but this is the internet. And that's not always true.
And lastly, personally, TSC is still SO VERY NEW. It's not even complete yet and we don't 100% know when the next one will be published. I don't want to start something, get to the end of the timeline, and than have a huge gap between posts that will potentially be moments in the second book. It doesn't feel fair to their story, to myself, or to the followers of this account to have incorrect information for something I love so dearly. If I'm doing it. I want to do it right.
SO, WHAT'S NEXT?
Well. A lot. For me personally, as well as this account. I don't want to leave everyone in such a finite way. I love this fandom. I love its art and writings and the abundance of talent and joy that it exudes.
So first, for myself, as well as those artists who agreed to help with this account, I want to post, for the next 40 days Artist Highlights (that means this account will still be active until Friday, May 24th).
Every day, I will post about an Artist and the work that I wanted to post but couldn't fit in. I've said it before, and I'll say it again, these artists are the reason this account thrives. Art, in a multitude of forms, speaks in a way words can not. And these artists prove that.
I'm excited to show them off for a couple more weeks at least. They are all wonderful people.
AND, FINALLY:
To also tie us over, I am opening both my personal account as well as this account to questions.
Questions regarding the process, the story, the best movie out in theaters, whatever. I will be answering your questions (as fast as I can) until that last Artists Highlight day (Friday, May 24th). After this day, I will leave the questions answered up for a week, and then remove/delete them from this account. I want to make this more of an archive of sorts and will be updating the Timeline Page as this progresses as well, so you can move freely within the timeline.
Keep in mind that I am only one person, have a family and a full-time job-- so answers may be sporadic, but I will answer them.
This has truly been such a pleasure. And whether I get questions or not, I see you and I appreciate you. I hope your life is filled with everything you ever want, everything you need, and that you never let it go.

Q: How can I stay motivated to write without getting a lot of notes?
A: Please see these posts: here and here.
Q: Why did you unfollow me?
A: As a Tumblr noob, I followed accts all willy nilly--i was impatient to diversify my dash by account. But now I want it more diverse by fandom too. I recently put my dash in chronological mode and began seeing a lot more of some people. If we've never interacted, I don't want to feel like a lurker. Or I could've lost (some or all) interest in your fandom. Or I may have forgotten why I followed you, especially if what you're posting has changed. Or I might be wanting to reduce the discourse I see. Or it could be be something like what's described below that I don't want to see.
✨Q: Am I blocked? Why can't I see your main blog from my account? / Did you soft block me? What is going on?
⚠️ A: The most common reasons I block are for policing or judging what others write or post, kink shaming, or spreading harmful rumors. ⚠️
When it comes to rumors and shaming, silence is not a sign of guilt or agreement. It's confidence in the truth and desire to keep harmful takes off the dash. As a rule, I would ignore and block false accusations, rumors, or kink shamers instead of giving them a huge audience by responding or addressing it.
Harmful takes in the wild / targeted harassment: blocked. And if a post is bad enough--such as calling for targeted harassment of writers or trivializing a serious crime by casually accusing writers of it, I may block people for positively interacting with it. I don't want to be on your dash if you share those views, even if it's about som thing I don't write. On my blog, it's important for readers to understand fiction can't be equated with real life. And who's to say I won't offend or traumatize you on a different topic one day? It's for your own good.
You can get blocked on anon too.

FAQ
RULES FOR SENDING ASKS
No explicit NSFW. No heavy venting. No asking incredibly personal questions. I'm a "faceless" artist for a reason. No hate or rude comments towards myself as an artist and as a person as well as towards other people. I genuinely don't care if you think X is better than what I do, or what I do is better than X. It's not a compliment, don't bring other people down for the sake of wanting to say "nice things", please. Not going to mention way more extreme cases because they'd probably not be interacting with my blog if they read my DNIs list.
REPOSTS AND USAGE OF MY WORKS
NO REPOSTS but if you're using my art as pfp or a banner or something of the likes, ask me or not as long as there's proper credit then you're good! (Linking any of my active platforms in my carrd portfolio). You can also e-mail me (linked in my portfolio as well in pinned post) for other permissions you wish to ask for such as dubbing my works or adding them to compilations, etc.
ART REQUESTS
I don't do them UNLESS I feel like it AND make a post about asking for ideas on any art requests y'all may have that I can draw when I feel like it.
PROGRAMS
I use Clip Studio Paint EX to draw and sometimes animate on. My usual animation program is Toon Boom Harmony. And I write on Notion. I also edit with Capcut, Premiere Pro, After Effects, and Audition. My usual editing program is Capcut though.
UNANSWERED ASKS AND DMS
DMs have been closed because of xxx-bots and because getting DMs overwhelms me. If I ended up not answering your ask, it's most likely either I thought I answered them in my brain but forgot to actually answer them physically or you didn't read the rules. Every time I forget to answer asks, I feel a bit embarrassed to go back on them when a couple of time has passed by so they end up staying unanswered for the most part... I'm sorry! Sometimes I just genuinely don't know what to answer so I end up not responding and/or I wanted to keep your ask in my ask box for saving purposes.
FANART
I don't understand why people always ask me permission to make fanart for me, genuinely. And I don't mean it in a mean way, I mean it in a "You're asking me... If you're allowed to not only express that you like my works through making a work of your own but also to put in the time and effort to do so... You're asking me if it's okay? When I should be the one worrying a bit about that because I would want to compensate for those fanart if I had all the money in the world." Short answer, fuck yes. And please tag me, I always want to see them so I can save them. Unless they're NSFW then uhhh, no, no thank you... Enjoy doing that I guess, but respectfully, don't ever show me lmao.
TIMEZONE
I'm always mostly online when people of Tumblr are asleep, vice versa, because my timezone is GMT+8. I'm Asian.
NSFW CONTENT
I only go as far as suggestive/spicy jokes, poses, touching, heavy swearing, and maybe gore every now and then. I don't do explicitly NSFW works, despite being an adult and having the freedom to do that.
YOUTUBE
Yes. Yes, I'm also on YouTube. Yes I'm aware that I have a decent amount of following there and would probably get side-eye comments if people from YouTube see my simpish shit here on Tumblr. Do I care? Nah. Cringe culture is dead to me, I do what I want. 👍
THANKS FOR READING, HAVE SOME FLOWERS! 💐
#i just. i think it'd be better to have this instead of clogging up pinned so much lol#i might add on to this in the future but for now im pretty content#important post#long post

hi! ok I just wanted to ask someone who knows how tumblr works haha
so I found someone who writes amazing content so I decided to follow them. I binged lots of their fics earlier today and when I checked their profile again later, their profile doesn’t show. It seems they might have blocked me and I don’t know why :( I commented that I loved their fics and the comments are removed. my profile has my age and I am decently active on reposting & commenting on fics. This happened to me one other time too so I just am confused I guess :( I tried to message them but it said it wouldn’t go through so that makes me think I’m blocked? I guess I don’t know why a couple people blocked me? Just kinda made me sad bc I really enjoy their work but now I won’t be able to see anymore ☹️😢
happy to!! 💛
first thing you gotta remember that in all likelihood, your getting blocked is nothing personal. reasons for blocking someone on tumblr include but aren't limited to:
you don't have your age (range) listed in your bio/clearly visible on your blog
the age you have listed doesn't adhere to boundaries a blog has set (f.e. you're a minor, or it only says "18+" which i know many writers don't accept)
your blog is completely empty i.e. you don't post/reblog stuff
you don't reblog other people's writing
you spam like posts
you've never changed the default icon/header to something else
people don't vibe with the things you reblog
your theme is a colour they don't like
a lot of the time, it comes down to everyone's preferences. god knows i've been blocked by people and didn't understand why, but frankly it's none of my business. most likely, you won't ever find out, either. everyone is creating their own online space, and sometimes that means having a quick blocking finger. i'm sorry that you won't be able to read those stories anymore but you have to accept creators' boundaries.
however, there are some things you can do and try to prevent getting blocked in the future. these are only a couple of suggestions around tumblr etiquette i've picked up on over the years; if anyone else wants to chip in here, please do!!
1. make sure your blog is, by all appearances, that of a human being
this might sound stupid because of course, you are a human, but with the recent bot wars it's all the more important to double check for red flags.
check your url. does it include a random string of numbers, lots of dashes, just a name and an adjective? all of these have been indicative of porn bots and people might block you on sight.
change your icon and your header. yes, both of them. there are lots of creators on here who make wonderful fandom related headers and icons, or you can create your own with canva. just be sure to follow creators' rules and preferably reblog their creation
change your blog title. if your account is new, it will just say "untitled", which is another indication you might not be a human. use quotes, song lyrics, anything you enjoy
add a bio. this is where you put your name or nickname (you can make one up) age, age range, links to second blogs (if applicable), more quotes, whatever. i prefer my bio short and to the point, but that doesn't have to be you.
important: do this for all blogs and side blogs you use regularly. if you have a second blog for reblogging fics, you need to put up your age there as well, or at least visibly link to your main blog so creators can see you're not a minor. the harder it is to verify that you're an adult, the more likely it is that you will get blocked
2. know the different kinds of interactions on tumblr and navigate them well
there's a difference between liking, commenting, reblogging, and reposting, and it's important. lots of people use reblogging and reposting interchangeably, but that's actually incorrect and can lead to serious mishaps. let's dissect them one by one.
liking.
you're familiar with the like from other social media platforms. you tap a post twice or hit the little heart at the bottom of the post and it's added to your likes. wonderful, right? well. tumblr is a little different.
tumblr doesn't have an algorithm. let me say that again. there is no algorithm on tumblr. i guess there is, on the for you page, but that doesn't count because it's really shit. the only important thing on tumblr is your dashboard, and your dashboard only shows original posts and the reblogs of those posts from people you follow.
no one cares about your likes. your likes don't do shit. that's why creatives on here keep talking about reblogs. you need to reblog things on tumblr in order for them to get seen. it's a snowballing effect. likes are nice and all, but they're private. they're not contributing to a story or an artwork being seen by more people. they're essentially empty interaction. what's more, should a post get deleted for whatever reason, that post is gone for you forever.
i know some people use their likes as bookmarks for things they want to look at later, but i would strongly urge you not to do that. people block serial likers, because most of the time it is, sadly, very unlikely that they will come back and actually interact with the post again. that's just the way it is. we can thank tiktok and instagram for that. again, tumblr doesn't have an algorithm. if you want to genuinely support and encourage people on here, you need to do more than liking.
commenting.
this is a step up from liking, because you're actually interacting now. a comment will show up in the activity of the person whose post you left it on and of the original poster (op)—more on that distinction in a minute. comments are encouraged especially on ask/answer type posts, or as a reply to an earlier reblog.
when it comes to fanfic, there are, again, pros and cons. you can only leave a comment from your main blog, which means that even if you have a second account where you reblog fics, there's not necessarily a link between the two. this can lead to your getting blocked if you've never reblogged a fic to your main blog. on the other hand, if people comment on your fic without reblogging it, but they do reblog other people's fics, that can also rub creators the wrong way because it creates a strange sort of hierarchy: why those fics? why not mine?
important thing to note: i am not saying that to make anyone feel bad about "just" commenting, i just want you to be aware that this might go on in a creator's head. it has in mine. i'm very aware that this is a me problem, but it's also a reason why people might get blocked out of the blue, which is why i wanted to bring it up.
reblogging.
ah yes, reblogging. reblogging is the thing that makes tumblr tumblr, and it's so easy to do. you just hit the little 🔁 symbol at the bottom of the post, and boom, it's reblogged to your own blog. everyone who follows you can now see it on their dashboard, and if they reblog it, their followers can see it, and so on and so forth. every time someone reblogs a post from you, you will get a notification in your activity, and so will the op.
reblogs are the heart and soul of tumblr. yes, original posts are (usually) individual creations, but the community aspect of this site is born through the reblog. there are different variations on how to reblog. all are valid, because all help spreading posts around.
the empty reblog is the quickest option. there's literally a quick reblog option on mobile: if you hold your finger on the reblog button for a second or so, you will see your icon appear. if you swipe in that direction, the post gets immediately reblogged to your blog. something similar can be done on desktop with the xkit browser extension. it's fast, it's easy, it gets the job done. it's perfect for when you like a post but don't have anything specific to say/reply.
the reblog with tags is the second fastest option. tags, on tumblr, are sort of the sotto voce version of comments. yes, you can use tagging to organise your blog and make your posts easily findable (is that a word?) but the real fun begins when little asides are added. you can keysmash in the tags. you can put your thoughts in the tags. you can go full caps without it looking overwhelming in the actual post. if you're just starting to comment on things, the tags are a great place to start, because the actual post will keep looking the same; the tags are just a little additional bonus for both you and the creator. this is what you would use for the majority of posts that aren't works of art in any way, too, like text posts you want to find again, polls, photographs etc.
the reblog with additions though? oh boy. that's the real stuff. imagine it as clipping on your thoughts to the post, right there for everyone to see. you can add gifs, and memes, and change the font, and change the colour, and scream, and keysmash, and ramble without limitations. it's like catnip for the op. if you reblog a fic, a moodboard, a piece of art, a gifset, whatever it is, and you put your thoughts underneath? man, it's amazing.
side note: if you're new to commenting on people's fics and you don't know what to say, i highly recommend referring to this post. (btw i linked my reblog so it can act as an example of the different forms of adding to a post: there were other reblogs before mine, and i've added tags. useful in its content and as an example!!)
reposting.
this is where we need to be careful. reblogs are great. reposts are theft. where's the difference? reposting refers to you copying another creator's work, whatever it may be, and creating a new post without any indication to the original person's efforts. even if you do include their url, you will most likely get reported and blocked. because now, you've become the op of this copied post, and the actual creator will get absolutely nothing.
you will most likely have seen banners in fic communities that state something along the lines of "don't copy or translate any of my work to this or any other site". that's what this refers to. this would also include the following:
posting another writer's story to ao3/wattpad/another fic site of your choice without their permission. you can absolutely never do this. "but what if"—NO. never. fullstop.
some creators allow translations of their work, but you can only ever share those with their explicit permission and proper credit.
saving a gif to use without linking back to the artist. this is maybe my biggest gripe. yes, i know this site sucks at making gifs searchable, but still, you can't do this. and no, "credit goes to the original artist" doesn't count, where did that bullshit even come from? it makes me so mad. that's not giving credit, that's being lazy.
3. be nice, and have fun
this is fandom, and it's supposed to be a hobby. this is supposed to be a good time. none of us are getting paid for any of this. yes, we're all passionate about what we do, whether we're looking at other people's creations or we make them ourselves. we're fans of that common thing, and isn't that great?
just a little more internet etiquette that's not really tumblr specific but could be a good reminder for everyone:
not everything is for you, and that's okay
if something's not for you, scroll away
if you don't like what someone is posting, ignore them. mute them. block them.
do not ever, and i mean ever, send anyone hate. you don't know who's on the other side of the screen. block them and move on. life's too fucking short.
don't correct people's grammar/spelling. only assholes do that. if you can't help yourself and they're a person you've interacted with before, shoot them a private message and be nice about it.
don't offer unsolicited advice. i don't care if you want to give constructive criticism to help the other person. unless they've explicitly asked you to do that, don't. you'll get blocked so quick, and you'll ruin someone's day.
if you're reading a fic that's not finished yet, don't ask for an update. yes, you're excited for the story to continue. but "part 2", "when's the next chapter out", "more please" and so on are all things that put pressure on creators whether that's your intention or not. it gives us the impression that what we've already put out is never enough. and that sucks. by all means, be excited about what comes next, but not like this.
read!! old!! fics!!!! the beauty of tumblr being the way it is is that there's zero shame in interacting with older posts. it's not like you're liking a seven year old post on instagram. in fact, if you're commenting on a seven year old fic/gifset/moodboard/artwork on tumblr, i can guarantee you're gonna make that creator's day.
i'm absolutely positive that i've forgotten something in this post even though it's longer than several of my wips, so if any of my moots want to add something that'd be great!! in fact i'm gonna tag some of you because you know what? if you've read all of this you deserve a kiss. have a wonderful day 💛

hey quick question how do you tag Vore on your blog? I'm super uncomfy with death porn so seeing your partners oc (and some of the crazy asks you've gotten with the preg stuff) I just wanna know in advanced in case you draw anything so I can make sure I have the tag blacklisted.
Not judging anyone! Or being a purist swear people do whatever i just wanna keep my dash comfortable for me by filtering tags i Don't wanna see.
OH NO WORRIES!!! I was joking about the vore stuff, thete will be no vore featured on this blog. I’ll likely tag stuff with tw g0re, or tw vore if EVER I am asked about vore(which I don’t want to be I have nothing to say about it, no offence)
NEVER FEAR THIS IS A VORE FREE ZONE, we’re just joking around. However if anything vore adjacent comes up it will be tagged with tw vore, and probably tw g0re as well. IN ADDITION I DONT TYPICALLY DO GRAPHIC GORE OR CHARACTER DEATH BC THEY ALSO SQUICK ME OUT- the closest you’ll likely get is some mild non bloody robogore since again, they are bot fighters.
SO SORRY IF THE EXO POST FREAKED YOU OUT!!!

I made a new blog from scratch just to see how it is for new users, and frankly it's awful.
You have to register, choose an url, put your birthday, whatever. This is normal stuff.
I've been a tumblr user for a decade now. In all truth, I had a blog before that, when tumblr was just aesthetic pictures with weird phrases in cute fonts. Then I deleted it at some point and came back to make this new one and for fandom stuff.
I know how tumblr works, I know how to navigate it, how to change the settings and all of that. It's not very user friendly though: it's not highlighted, you have to click on the settings and then on your own blog and then customize it. Not that big of a deal, but I understand why so many new people don't change it.
When you make an account, the first thing you have to do is to choose your url, then put an email address and birthday, and then you have to choose five topics (tags) you want to follow and at least three blogs you want to follow. I'm so sorry for the random people I had to follow and then unfollow, it's also probably why bots find you.
The worst thing, though, is that your dashboard is the for you page.
This is my normal dash:
This is the dash on the new blog:
I have to manually click every time on "following" to see the people I follow, or else it's gonna be random posts form various tags I had to follow (and then unfollow) and not in chronological order.
And yes, I changed the settings multiple times: based on your likes, best stuff first, stuff in your orbit and followed tags are ALL turned off, and I have already log out and log back in multiple times to see if something changes. The answer is no: the for you page is the first one you get.
And while I'm not a gif maker so I have no opinion about it, on my own blog I can still opt out the legacy editor when creating a new post, while on the new blog that's the only option and you get nothing else.
The new changes they wanna make are in line of what they have been doing for the new user's experience. And it sucks.
I also have no idea what the fuck is this thing that appears on some posts at random but only on my new tumblr:
I think it's a sort of "look at the new note on this popular post" or something, and you can click on it to see it. It only appears when I am in the for you page and on posts with more than 1k notes. And it's also randomized, and not the last comment/tag on that post. It's a bit distracting to be honest, but not the worst.
End note, because staff just updated The Post.
Customize your experience if you've been on tumblr for a while. If you're new, you're fucked.

If you people don't start reblogging art (and writing!!!) I'm gonna start biting you
Look at this shit
These are the top 4 today, LESS THAN HALF of the people who liked it have reblogged. That first one especially makes me want to chew glass
Oh! But those are in the top today! So surely everyone will see them!? No?? A lot of people don't go into the tags! And also think how many more people would see them! You can only like something once! Even if every one of those only had 1 follower that's still roughly 300 more eyes on the work!!
But those are new, you say. Surely the older stuff isn't like this? Incorrect! Let's sort by top of the last year
TRAVESTY *bops you all with a newspaper* that last one is one of my all time favorites (I'm going to list them in a reblog, because I know sometimes too many links kills a post) it's an amazing piece of art and look how little love it has
It has FOUR TIMES more likes than reblogs???? Think how many people could've seen this artist's amazing work!
Excuses I see:
It won't fit my blog: a) you can make multiple blogs! This is my side blog, I made it in October, tagged things appropriately (used the good omens tag for a bit, I've dropped it now since), and have gained a nice handful of followers! That wasn't the point but I'm glad you're all here (hai!)
b) it's your blog! Use it how you want to!! "Oh people will unfollow me!" this isn't the I have followers klout website. This is the have fun and hope you can make someone else's day fun in the process website. If it sparks joy, reblog it!
I don't wanna upset op with spam: that does not happen here. Artists, writers, and bloggers love seeing you. Go nuts
Reblogging is time consuming: you can quick reblog (on mobile hold down on the reblog button and swipe up to the blog you want, sorry idk how on computer but I know you can) reblogging is only time consuming if you want to comment or tag. If you're willing to leave a reply you should have time to reblog! (Commenting and replying both have their place, it's ok to reply only while still reblogging!!)
Tagging things intimidates me: people carry on entire conversations in the tags, people leave the wildest shit as tags, people have confusing tags to organize their blogs, people leave absolutely no tags at all! You do not have to tag things!!
I have my likes turned on so people can see: you look like a bot, stop that. Empty blogs get blocked! I'm begging some of you to please reblog something. No one goes straight to people's blogs to look exclusively at their stuff (....ok well some people do but most people just scroll their dash)
Likes are bookmarks! That's it! Or a way to interact with some random thing someone said about their day that you can tell they don't necessarily need reblogged. This isn't twitter, where (apparently?) reblogging something is kinda frowned upon. This isn't instagram where likes mean everything. This is Tumblr, and it survives on reblogs!
#good omens#good omens 2#gomens#good omens fanart#good omens fanfic#stay tuned for the links lol#REBLOG THEM#oh and please know this isn't meant to sound lecturing#just incredibly desperate lmao

I think I need to make this post because I'm too messy, and I can't find my own things, so ahem... if you want to be able to navigate this blog, here's what you have to know about me:
Hi ^w^! Steelthroat here, and that's my username on Ao3 I also go by the nickname of Zero. I use any pronouns with a preference for "it", and "they" and I'm an art student. Based in Italy, but my goal is to conquer the whole world, just wait ;3
[I don't have Twitter anymore, my profile is there but I don't have the app, so I won't accept followers, I won't post nor interact with anyone. It's nothing personal I just hate Twitter and its owner.]
I write fanfictions, which you can find under the tag #fanfiction of Steel
I draw things! #art of Steel, atm just tf fanarts, but I may also post some Ocs. I already said that, but I post nsfw art. If you don't like it, please be careful
Once I create the tag and tidy up my blog, you can also get your popcorn and watch me ramble incoherently about new fic ideas, crack ideas, and vague vents under the #Steel rambles tag
I guess I really like Steel, huh...
Anyone can interact unless I block you. The bar is low, like, for example: don't be an asshole, don't spew racist/homophobic/transphobic(etc) things, and don't start drama because you're bored under my posts. If you really don't like me, just block me and save time and effort, no hard feelings, I swear....I also don't like myself sometimes, you have the power to never see me again at least :)/j
I love knowing new people so you can write to me, send memes, asks, etc, and I'll always be happy to interact with you in one way or another
If you look like a bot, you will be blocked and reported. I'm sorry, please, at least like someone else's posts or have a bio. I really can't tell if you're human otherwise.
Well, new tags are surely going to get added... one day, I guess :)
I hope you have fun here ^w^
[New tags added #steel monologues, steel writing and #steel answers]
[Also I advise you to read my tags, there's like a whole world of context and subcontext every time I post something. I'm not saying they're entertaining, I'm saying that sometimes they explain wtf is going on/alternatively they make you even more confused]
I also made a tutorial on how to fix broken zippers here
#art of steel#fanfiction of steel#steel rambles#steel monologues#steel answers#steelmemes#steel writing

Thanks for the tips! About the second point on your list I think it's deleted now or the account is gone but I bookmarked a tweet that said donation posts on twitter don't really make it and that people on tumblr are kinder and are less to attract scammers and bots. I've been reposting mostly art on my account here but I'm not sure how to have notes? Who do I ask for a boost in here? Sorry for the many questions. I went through your blog and I don't want to come across as a scam
You get notes by people finding the post, usually with tags that relate to needing support. There are accounts who accept asks for aid but it’s advised to have an account that’s older than a day/week or at least show within reasonable doubt that your who you claim to be so people won’t be too suspicious. Also make sure the art is your own if posting it, and if it’s not your art make sure your crediting the original artists.
Unfortunately while tumblr is kinder, I think my blogs whole existence proves bots/scammers are an issue and some even target people who use the GoFundMe/mutual aid tags.

greetings to those who see my blog.
i also have sideblogs: @bad-opinions-101 , @seer-of-life-knight-of-doom , @spider8itch-vris
DNI proshippers (mostly), TERFs and radfems in general, misandrists, radqueers, "russophobia/transandrophobia isn't real" crowd, hamas supporters, but y'all can have a civil conversation with me in DMs. also there are exceptions to my DNI, for example i can call out your bullshit and you can call out my bullshit.
i'm not a government bot, nor am i paid by Israel, i'm just a goy who cares about Jews
i'm blocked by heritageposts and proud of it
i sometimes post in russian
by following me you sign to the terms and conditions under "read more":
i'm in fact a minor so no gay furry rp in asks. despite that i'll sometimes make risque jokes. you can ask exact age in Discord DMs (@ in carrd because i want y'all to read it lol)
i believe that transmasc/mspec lesbians are valid
reclaimed the f and t slur and use them frequently (don't tag them as well)
Zionism* is not inherently evil and anti-Zionism is (most of the time) just anti-Semitism
*my definition of Zionism is "the right of Jews as a native people to live and have self-determination in their native land"
but i am not a Zionist. if you call me one i have the legal right to magdump a HK416 into you
i'm an agnostic atheist
TME and TMA are terms that will only further divide the community
if you make a callout post about me being an "evil Zionist" then please also block me so i don't get secondhand embarrassment because of how fucking stupid you are
tagging thang:
#hatred in my blood - i'm hating/venting/ranting
#discourse bullshit - me talking about the current thing
#dumb bullshit - funnies that i put 0 effort into
#slightly less dumb bullshit - funnies that i put some effort into (most likely will be art)
#ask away mortals - asks
#anon hate - anon hate
#hand in unlovable hand and/or #anon kismesis - when i can smell that anon hater is actually attracted to me. sorry but not interested in your blackrom
#faggotry - all my gay thoughts
QNA time:
Q: are you a Zionist?
A: if you want an actually detailed answer, i don't think i can call myself one because i, unfortunately, don't know almost anything about Jewish history
Q: who's Raiden?
A: ex friend of mine, we got violently divorced because he's an anti-Semite

Sundrop's FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions!
Are you going to continue Lessons For A Genius?
No.
I labelled Lessons For A Genius as a 'capsule series' on my masterlist because I intended it to be a series of oneshots with no clear overarching story, and therefore - no clear need for an 'ending'. I intended each of the fics to be able to be read as a oneshot satisfyingly without missing out on some of the story. Right now, the series is over, and if I write anything more for it, it will be bonus smutty content, not some greater story.
I can't find you on AO3! When I click the link to your AO3, there's an error :(
My AO3 is archive locked, so you need an account to view anything that I post there.
I do have a note about this in my pinned post, but I will keep reminding people about it. It's definitely not my favourite thing because I know it makes my writing less accessible, but the purpose is to protect my writing against spam comments from bots and to protect against potential AI scraping that would steal my writing without my permission.
A lot of the fics on my different masterlists use AO3 links because that is the only place those fics are posted on the internet right now. I am sorry if that means you can't read them, but I would highly, highly recommend getting an AO3 account. Once you put your email address on the wait-list for one, you will eventually get an email in order to get an account.
Also, just a general note - make sure you are logged into your account before and after you click AO3 fic links because that might be part of your problem. And make sure that you are not using an AO3 app, because there is no official apps, and I don't know what archive locking does in terms of an app - but I do not give consent for my work to be read on fake AO3 apps. Just use the mobile browser.
Will you write about (x specific topic) in fics?
Most likely, yes.
You can read my full list of rules here - where I mention topics I won't write for, including safeword use, miscarriages, choking/asphyxiation kink, and a virgin reader character (or a very innocent reader character).
But generally, the list of topics that I will write for is way longer than the things I won't write for. So feel free to ask me if I am okay writing for specific 'taboo' things, because most likely, I am okay with it.
Did you used to be pinkchubbiebunnie/imaginethesedorks on Tumblr?
Yes.
My complete list of old urls includes: ravenclawsnerd, imaginethesedorks, thesoundofpurple, and pinkchubbiebunnie.
And I used to be tenpintsofsundrop before I took up residency on my official main blog @tenpintsof-sundrop - but hopefully this will be my last url change ever lmao.
And as a throwback for the girlies, I used to be ravenclawprideforever on Quizilla. (I will be seriously impressed if anybody from that website remembers me from that username and somehow finds me here. I will literally freak out and fangirl so hard if that is the case.)
Did you used to write kpop fanfiction?
Yes!
Sometimes I consider posting more of my old kpop fanfics on AO3, but I'm not sure there's enough interest for that. Also on my old kpop blog, the first fandom I ever actually posted fic for there was 5 Seconds of Summer - just as a lil fun factoid.
Will you ever write a sequel to (insert fic title here)?
Most likely, no.
For the most part, if I write a oneshot (or even a multi-part fic), then I intend for it to be a stand alone story with a satisfying beginning, middle, and (hopefully) a satisfying ending. There are very few fics of mine that I write with the intention of continuing them or someday writing a sequel.
If there is a fic of mine that you particularly love and you really want to see a sequel to, you can ask me about it politely and you could even provide me with some potential ideas of where you'd like to see the sequel go, but for the most part, I write oneshots as singular stand alone fics that will never be continued while I move on to other ideas.
Here is a short list of a few fics that I have considered continuing in case you are curious:
(This list is actually not as short as I thought, but all of these are fics currently posted that I have sequels/follow ups to working in my drafts. So if you like these fics and you want to see more of them, then know that I have been thinking of continuing them too - and sometimes actively working on the continuation in some instances.)
These are listed from most likely to be completed to least likely to be completely based on length and creative struggles.
Emergency Contact - DC Titans, Jason Todd x GN!Powered!Reader. This is a sequel that has been in my drafts for a long time, and I am actually trying to finish it before the end of this month. I think I have about 8k more to finish on it (it's currently about 80% done) before it goes into the editing process. So look out for the sequel soon!
My Bleeding Heart - Harry Potter, Draco Malfoy x Pureblood!Fem!Reader. This prequel is more than half finished in my drafts, and I actually posted a preview of it, but due to lack of engagement and general interest with that preview, I lost interest in writing the fic at the time. I am really proud of what I have written and I hope to get a random burst of energy to finish it because I think it is going to be one of my best emotional fics.
Hold Me Tight Or Don't - The Walking Dead, Glenn Rhee x Fem!Reader x Maggie Greene. This is something I mentioned in another post - but this is a fic that should not even be qualified for a sequel because the main character dies, but this is literally the power of reader/writer interaction and comments. The sequel is going to be an AU where the reader character lives and is immune to the bite. The sequel is fully drafted out and ready to be written - something I am really excited about and hope to do soon.
Missing You - DC Titans, Gar Logan x Fem!Reader x Jason Todd. This is another one that has been in my drafts for a long time, and it's actually half-finished, but I just need that random burst of inspiration and energy to finish it.
Sweet Revenge - The Last Of Us, Ellie Williams x Fem!Reader. This sequel is fully drafted out and I did start writing it, but it was something I lost steam on. I think it would be an amazing fic to compliment the existing one and I really do want to finish it when I get the proper burst of motivation to do so.
Sugar, We're Goin' Down - Stranger Things, Steve Harrington x Fem!Thick!Reader x Eddie Munson. The sequel is drafted out in my docs, and I would like to write it sometime in the future.
Free Use Day - DC Titans, Poly!OG!Titans x Fem!Reader aka Fem!Reader x Hank Hall, Donna Troy, Dick Grayson, Dawn Granger, and Garth. This sequel is something I have drafted out that I am really excited about, but writing a fic that is almost pure smut and making sure that it's good smut is really difficult. So I wanna be in the right mindset when I write this fic. But I promise when this fic comes out, it will be amazing.
Now You See Me - DC Titans, Gar Logan x Masc!Powered!Reader. I have this sequel drafted out, and I really want to explore more of the reader's backstory and his relationship with his father (which, in case you didn't get the implication in the original fic, is Mr. Freeze) - especially because the characters end up in Gotham in Season 3, I think it would be so amazing to show the character coming back to the place of his trauma with a supportive boyfriend by his side. But I know it's gonna take me a long time to write it - and again, time and energy type thing.
Snow In Flordia - DC Titans, Donna Troy x Fem!Powered!Reader. This is another one where I drafted it all out and I started writing it, but I realized that it would be a massive, multi-chaptered undertaking, and I got really exhausted. It is something I want to finish and post, but I have no fucking clue when I will get the time and energy to do so.
A theoretical final act in The Auror!Ron Series, turning it into a perfect trilogy. That is in my drafts, but I haven't touched it much yet because it would be a massive multi-chaptered undertaking with a love triangle, lots of plot points, lot of smut scenes, and it would be generally long for me to satisfyingly finish the series to my liking. (I do hope to finish it someday, though).

Hello there!
You can call me TigerBear.
I’m a 20s something trans-girl who's only been on tumblr for almost a year!
I mostly just do reblogs, and just random stuff but I'll also post links to my fanfics so keep an eye for that! (Only been one so far, but lots of folks seem to enjoy it xD)
Expect my fics to mostly be UT and DR fics...
Same with posts.... Just a lot of UT/DR related reblogs and post, but you'll also see a few posts related to other games I like or things that catch my fancy. (E.G, I've reentered the doctor who fandom after like 4-5 years)
Aiming for the blog to be SFW/Minor friendly but y'know, still and adult and stuff. Might reblog stuff with swearing.
Guess I can talk about some things about myself.
I’m a trans-girl lesbian who goes by she/her pronouns.
I'm also neurodivergent (autistic specifically) so if I act differently/misunderstand things that's why. I'm sorry my brain just be running differently.
I’m likely suffering from chronic Asriel and Noelle brain rot.
I want goat boy to get a happy ending and love the trans Noelle head-canon.
Shipper of Suselle (Susie/Noelle) and Dessriel (Dess/Asriel).
(Oh and of course Alphyne (Alphys/Undyne) but I'm not obsessed with the pair like Suselle and Dessriel. Alphyne's still cute though!)
Also opened asks! (but don't really know what I'll do with them, and don't expect quick responses, especially bc I’m the shy type of trans-femme.)
Standard DNI:
transphobia/TERF beliefs.
homophobia or queerphobia in general.
exclusionary towards enbys, transmascs, transfemmes, aro & or ace, intersex, or other folks/identities.
transmed/truscum, and other gatekeeping/invalidation stuff like that.
racism.
xenophobia.
Islamophobia.
ableism.
or other forms of discrimination like that.
Religious fundamentalist, Militant Atheists, or anyone cant respect other people's religious/areligious beliefs.
(Its ok to criticize religious people that are being bigoted/harming others, or parasitic cults abusing and leaching off of their members though. Just don't interact if you say stuff like "All religious people are mentally ill" or "all people of X religion are bigots/terrible".)
If your posts look like that of a p*rn bot I'll likely block you.
Also, while I don't really care about shipping discourse and stuff, if you don't tag your anti-[ship name here] posts with something like "anti-dessriel" or "anti-suselle" (or any anti-tag equivalent) I'll likely block you, especially if you only use the ship tag without anti-shipname tags.
I don't care if you hate a ship that I love, (i may make posts defending a ship/debunking arguments against it without targeting anyone individually), but generally if you hate a relationship I love I don't care. I just don't want to see anti-suselle posts tagged with just "suselle" because I'm following that tag to see anything but anti-suselle content. Just do the basic thing and tag your anti-ship posts that's all I ask.
I used to be pretty loose with blocks, and prefer to only do that in extreme circumstances (basically only if like, p*rn bots, explicit NSFW blogs with untagged nudity, or blogs run by TERFs and other phobic weirdos) and I honestly want to stay that way, but inadequate tagging is a new block-able offense.
Here are the tags I use for my own stuff.
#reblog
For all the posts I reblog.
#queue
For all the posts in my queue (which are just reblogs)
#posts from tigerbear's tumblr (Or) #my posts
Stuff that's from me (or reblogs which either have comments.)
Pretty much "my posts" is going to be anything past the 25th or 26th of April 2024 (because I'm not going back to change all of my past tags.)
#tag that are like posts from tigerbear's tumblr
Basically similar to posts from tiger bear except their reblogs and the new content is only in the tags.
#Upsetting-Triggering
For the very few posts/reblogs that are potentially upsetting, E.G talking about stuff like wars or LGBTQ+ rights being stripped away, general transphobic stuff, ect.
(I usually come to tumblr for escapism, so if you feel the same way add it to filtered tags so you at least get the warning pop up before seeing it)
Here's the link to my YT channel even though I've so far not posted anything!
Here's my AO3 too! Even though so far I've only posted one fic!
I also have a pronouns.page
Anyway I hope you enjoy my blog!

what's wrong with you is that you made a joke post using a supernatural meme to report on a news event where over a hundred human beings died. people replied and sent asks telling you that's messed up, so now you're just being deliberately dense. we know you're just a person and not some "genius" news source. that's the point. i get that 70 notes made up mostly of spam bot likes is the most exciting thing to ever happen to you, but you have no authority, right, or reason to report on news events in any way. like what about that story made you think "i bet people want to hear about this from ME, the star of the internet, via a supernatural meme"
It's not really a joke, since the event did happen. The point of the post was not to have a laugh or invite happiness over the event, but to convey the information in a fairly concise and self-explanatory manner. The meme is fairly well known as a method of delivering news, and that's how I regard it, so I used it.
People have replied asking me if I think it's a joke, or funny, which I do not think it is. Two separate people have asked me what is wrong with me.
I don't think this is the most exciting thing to ever happen to me, and afaik this isn't even close to being a popular post for me. I don't really care if the likes are from spam bots, since I do my best to report and block any that follow me, so I can only assume they mostly come from elsewhere.
I kinda do have a right to report on things that happen in the world, though, in the same way I kinda have a right to talk about whatever I want. If I don't then I also can't talk about what I'm thinking, what I had for breakfast, or anything else in the real world. At the time I made the post, I hadn't seen anything about the attack on Tumblr yet, so I wasn't sure if anybody was aware.
My posts are, for the most part, not clinically designed to try and achieve maximal reach. I'm not particularly interested in hitting it big, this is just where I put things online that I'm thinking about, for the most part. I wasn't thinking "I bet people want to hear this from me", I was moreso thinking "I believe people usually wish to be informed about the world". It's not specifically myself that I'm interested in people knowing about or connecting to major events. Pretty much my only claim to fame or equivalent is a fairly popular vanilla extract poll.
I'm not the star of the internet and I don't want to be. I don't see why I can't inform others of news that is occuring, or why you think this is some ploy to become the internet's most Popular Tumblr blog. I'm sorry I aggravated you.

Hi. I'm so sorry for bothering you:c but I really need all the help I can get. I have a chronic heart condition that doesn't allow me to work my regular hours. Things got serious pretty fast and suddenly, I wasn't able to pay rent. I got evicted 10 days ago, and I'm trying to raise funds to pay off what I owe to my landlord and avoid getting sued, and hopefully find a little place while I get back on my feet.
You think you could help me reblogging my pinned post to spread the word a bit? Thank you so much in advance. And I'm truly, very sorry for having to recur to this.
For other people's sakes, this is their pinned post. I took a scroll through their blog and they don't appear to be a bot; the blog goes a decent way back and posts semi-regularly.
My kind friend, Tumblr is not a good place to crowdfund. It works sometimes, but not reliably. (EDIT: Redacted a bit about reddit boards. They exist, but they need a lot of prerequisites.) In the event that you haven't been able to go looking yet, there are likely also real life, more local, more direct resources out there to help you hidden out of sight. There's a post on this topic, but I'll cut for you the relevant parts (paging through the notes will also probably be useful):
From @/euphoniousracouter:
GO TO, MESSAGE, OR CALL YOUR LOCAL LIBRARY. Libraries are focusing more and more on community resources, support, and outreach. If you genuinely don’t know something or feel uncertain or are in a new situation, a reference librarian will not only help you sort your thoughts through their reference interview but then help you arm yourself with knowledge from reliable and often local sources. It doesn’t even have to be a question to Ask A Librarian. You can simply say “I’m in this situation now. I don’t know what to do next./I’m not confident I know everything I should or want to know.”
From @/dancinbutterfly:
If you're in America, 211 is your friend. It’s the United Way’s database of social assistance resources. When I was doing resource development for my masters in social work 211 was my holy grail. And there’s things that only workers know about that just calling and asking can reach cuz it sets off the social service phone tree. I will say YOU have to be persistent of you want to access these resources. Most of the ngo agencies are most interested in helping the pro-active clients in my experience. But do use the resources. They’re golden.
From @/macaronsandfries:
Also, if you’re in the US: call your State Rep. Part of their job is to help constituents access and navigate state run programs, such as EBT/SNAP, unemployment, housing assistance, and medicaid.
Not all offices are equally responsive (some try really hard to stay on top of incoming calls but are overwhelmed, and some…are not great at checking messages, tbh).
But if you can get through to a person (almost always an aide/staffer), they will talk through the issue with you and do what they can to help.
You don’t need to know what programs are applicable to you, they’ll help connect you with appropriate people (including Federal programs if necessary – those offices are hard to get through to, but if you need something like Federal ID docs changed, see if going through your State Rep helps move things along)
afaik some of these are sadly not as immediate as these emergencies tend to be, but they're out there, and hopefully these help. Crowdfunding is still an answer that you have a right to take. Good luck and be well.
