#someones scrolling through the blog i see | Explore Tumblr Posts and Blogs

recently I’ve seen several of my mutuals expressing desires to delete every creative thing they’ve done or take a break from their creative projects (some of them indefinitely) or just take a break from tumblr and other social spaces. some of this is due to burnout and some of it is due to hate and bigotry, which breaks my heart

friends I get it, I’ve been there. the burnout, the depression or anxiety, the imposter syndrome, the adhd shame of moving on to another project and abandoning another, the dull days where you’re just not inspired or the days you overthink the notes/kudos/attention on your work, i get it 1000%

but don’t delete your work! you’ve worked hard on it, and people will find it! a slow-growing following is still a following. a post that only gets 5 notes is still valuable and still capable of getting more as time goes on. one day someone will find your blog or your work and scroll through it for two hours. they might not like or reblog everything but they’re seeing it and enjoying it. if you delete your work, how will they enjoy it?

slow growth (for you, your blog, your post, your fic) is just as valuable (if not more valuable, in my opinion) as going viral in an hour

take a break when you need it. set aside the creative thing if it’s only bringing you pain or stress. but don’t delete it. if nothing else, the posts of the past can be your waymakers to see how you’ve grown and improved. don’t let the numbers convince you of what’s valuable. the numbers don’t matter in the end

I know I’m just one creative, a tiny drop in a vast ocean of other voices, but I’m telling you, speaking from experience, don’t delete the work you’ve done. Sometimes you can never get it back and you’ll regret not being able to watch it unexpectedly grow, or look back at it and see just how far you’ve come <3

I see you. I see your pain and your struggles. and I see your creative works too. they exist and they are beautiful and they are valuable

please don’t let numbers convince you otherwise

#don’t mind me just getting misty-eyed that people are feeling beaten down and tired #I see you and I appreciate you #and maybe in the future I’ll need this post too #as a reminder

Okay, someone just accused me (in their anon confession) on one of the confessional Tlou blogs of posting "strange" stuff about young Ellie. Basically, what this person is saying is that they like what I post, but scrolling through my blog feels off to them.

First of all, this blog is about Ellie Williams. I post about Ellie in general; including ADULT Ellie. What I post about adult Ellie has nothing to do with what I post about young Ellie (like, do I even have to specify this here? It's so crazy to me). I'm allowed (same as anyone else in this fandom) to crush on adult Ellie Williams, yanno?

NEVER HAVE I EVER written anything CONCERNING or PERVY about YOUNG Ellie. I literally beg your pardon.

Second of all, you're always free to unfollow or block if you have a problem with what I post, instead of naming my blog and throwing dirt at it to make people who have never heard of it think poorly about its content. To think something that is not true in the first place.

You could've easily slipped into my DMs and asked me about specific posts if something made you doubt them, and I would WITHOUT a PROBLEM explain the meanings behind them because my consciousness is crystal clear when it comes to content I share.

Loving young Ellie for the sweet, freckled goofball of joy she is is considered "strange" and off-putting? Why? No matter your age (I'm 30 if you need to know), if you feel like young Ellie's babysitter who would just love to squish her cheeks, there's literally nothing wrong with it.

I know folks are not used to blogs posting about young Ellie, because it seems that here on Tumblr, Ellie Williams is only known as the hot stuff lesbian everyone yearns to write smut fics about. But I assure you that not everyone is like that, and I also assure you that some of us actually admire her as a character with no intention to disrespect.

Loving the hell out of young Ellie while crushing on adult Ellie (crushing with respect in my case) is completely okay. There's a line that no one in their right mind crosses.

There are A LOT of people who still love to see endearing post about her younger version, you know. If you don't like this blog's content, unfollow and move along without throwing rocks at someone you know nothing about (me).

I'm so disappointed right now. I need a break for a while.

#i understand nothing #has everyone gone crazy?#why does anyone even take time to think this poorly about what i post #i'm done #ellie williams #ellie tlou #the last of us #tlou #the last of us game #tlou game #young ellie #adult ellie

2,3,4,5,9 and 10 for the salty asks.. also.. i'm a fan of your theme.

baby i reblogged it more than a year ago 😭

But ok

2. hmmmmmmmm. hank and raven are brotp because raven's a lesbian

3. i have unfollowed so many people over woobifying charles or calling erik evil/having a bad faith engagement with his radicalism or shitting on rhaenicent even though i truly loathe alicent and want her to die

4. i don't think I have any notp's in my fandom... Alicent x Criston. Again. A lesbian. can't stand yurabek because I don't care about those characters.

5. the early 2010s liberal brainrot tried to ruin cherik for me so badly

9. tie between criston cole and alicent. otto is like, a little better because he just wants power and doesn't have that religious fanatic air. i hate him as well though.

10. Why. The hell. Did they make Erik agree with a nazi. What the fuck.

Having of those moments where I wish to yeet the like button into the sun or maybe make it so there was setting you could turn on so that people can only reblog posts (even better with the minimum requirement of adding at least one tag)!!

It's kind of absurd that one of my fics is getting close to 500 notes while simultaneously being one I've had the least actual human interactions come from. Like...... come on, that's now how it should be AT ALL!

Don't get me wrong, I'm so thrilled people are clearly finding it and I guess enjoying it(??) but just having endless likes without people letting me know what they enjoyed about it or even if they liked it kind of makes me sad. That's not why I want to share my writing here!

I love having those little human connections with others. I don't ever want my writing to feel transactional. I would love to talk to more people about things I've written. It's truly one of the best feelings and I would hate to lose that, the more I write or the more notes my fics get. Please don't be shy!! I get the social anxiety, but there is no reason to be. I am truly just a Din Djarin obsessed loser.

Anyway, whine over. I don't want to focus on the negatives here and I appreciate every single person who has ever left a positive interaction with something I've written. You are truly a light!

#i don't JUST like posts too often #really the only posts i dont reblog but like are to save for later or if it's too personal/explicit #or i guess i have nothing to add and OP has said it all yknow #but if i see some writing or art i love then hell yeah i always force myself to add at least one tag i like just so the artist/author sees #otherwise it feels like a hollow transaction and i really want people to know i appreciate their art more than just pressing a button yknow #and I KNOW it's intimidating at first to interact with others!! TRUST ME i get it and i'm still awful at it #but just one little comment can make someone feel so good about their writing... why wouldn't someone want to try that at least #especially if you enjoyed it!!! even a key smash or a string of emojis!!!#and the death of the tumblr tag is SO SAD because where else am i meant to talk to you lot?#i mean these tags are longer than my actual post and that's the beauty of tumblr #you don't have to perceive me down here but you can if you wish and i love you for that!#and it's a nice way to organise your blog to make it navigable for others #ANYWAY said i was done whining and continued whining down here so there's that LOL but i always want to interact with more people #please do not be afraid of reaching out to me! scroll through my blog for 5 seconds and you'll see what a nerdy loser i am #akdjgds i mean aren't we all here #spud rants #writing #but thanks again to anyone who leaves nice comments im giving you a (consensual) forehead smooch MWAH

having a bit of an undyne session aren't you lol

Yeah after following me for a while you get used to it

#it happens #more than what's normal i think #sometimes ill follow someone new and then instantly go through their undyne tag #or if i see someone with like. a vaguely undyne themed name or something ill go see if i can scroll through their blog for undyne stuff #sometimes I can end up looking through blog after blog for hours at a time because I get so fixated on it #so i try my best to keep it to a minimum #anyways #asks #undyne

nothing like realizing how cringe you are by scrolling through your own blog 💗

#Someone (hi btw if you're reading this I think you're so cool) went through my blog + spammed me and I wanted to scroll through to see what #What they saw and x_x #Life is literally about being alive and not looking back because if not you will never want to go forwards in fear of what you look like #From the outside #Silly blog idk why ppl follow sometimes but hi I love u I hope your day is lovely and you sleep well 💗🥰👯‍♀️#Void talks

hi!! big fan of your art!! it's really cool to see you on tumblr again!! ah but since i don't think you've been here for a while, i wanted to ask if you knew about the whole thing with tumblr selling data to AI companies?

you have to manually opt out of third party sharing to AI on all of your blogs (done by going to your blog's settings and toggling the option in the visibility section!) to prevent your art from being fed to them -

i wanted to let you know to keep your art safe !!!

awe thanks so much for looking out for me anon!! dw, I do already know and it was the first thing I did when making this blog— I haven’t been posting but I do still use my personal tumblr from time to time! ironically, it’s probably not the best time for me to make my return to tumblr given the shitshow and AI situation but 💀 it’s been on my mind so I wanted to give it another shot!

i appreciate the warning..!!!

#askibble #I also turned it off on my old blog as well!#I’ve been looking into glaze and nightshade too but aauhghggh I hate that artists have to jump through all these hoops to protect their art #miss the days where I could scroll through art and not worry about it being AI #actually someone qrt’d my art on Twitter and accused it of being AI which is wild to me but I understand like #the current sensationalization of generative AI creates a paranoia within the community and then people start pointing fingers which is #really sad to see #it’s a bit scary but I hope people will start to take it more seriously and more legislation will pass to help preserve artists’ work

y’all know how you follow really cool ppl and it’s like “wow you’re so cool I hope you never follow me/we don’t become mutuals because you’d find out i am entirely uncool and unhinged”
