Me: But I want to be sad and depressed and sulky and non-communicative and grumpy.
Tumblr: Okay, I get that, but have you considered doing it with friends?

I did a major curation of my internet experience on another social media platform last week because of some stuff that was going down. Today I'm worried that I am about to have to do it again. The problem is that if I curate these last few people out of my life, I'm not going to have anyone to follow.
And now I'm wondering what that tells me about my entire existence on that platform.

you know what I also really love tumblr for (or in other words - hate another social media for)? Because there are no “reels” or “stories” or anything like that, like on FB or YT, or IG (tiktok I guess is just entirely made of this crap, and I don’t and won’t use it).
I don’t know but especially those reels on FB, they are so stupid that I’m cringing whenever for some reason I click on one of them. Half of them - you can’t even tell what’s the point even if you watch it a few of times on repeat, some others are staged, stupid “jokes”, or “reactions to”, some are just pretty chicks that use any stupidest, pointless reason to show off their faces. It is just a swapm of stupidity, narcism, exhibitionism, on the mental level of 13 yo. I can’t handle it. Tumblr is such a calm, mature (lol i know) place thanks to absence of this shit.

You guys remember when we use to spend like hours looking for the perfect images and banners to make our profile pages ours? It was so much fun talking with artists and community for feedback and commisson. Spending that time organizing layouts. And by the end everything just clicks and it was so much fun to show off it kinda makes me sad Tumblr is like the last place this is possible.
Like with the rise today of indie artists imagine the ammount of fun and unity and events art communities could do if it was more mainstream? I remember on some old forums some associates of mine had challenges to decorate their profiles with specific colorschemes and then they went nuts finding things to work it. It was beautiful and the creativity was outstanding.
I love this hellsite because of that and I hope it never changes.

In my personal opinion, (which you didn’t ask but I’m going to share it anyway) what you do here is the most important thing that people can do with their time. Gain knowledge and then share it with other people. Sending you all the happy.
🖤💙🖤💙🖤💙 thank you for your kind words.

when someone posts another users tags like "don't hide this in the tags, y'all need to see this" it feels like when you were summarizing group discussions in school and you were too nervous to speak up and so one of your friends were like "[Y/N] brought this up in our discussion and i think that's a really interesting and valuable point" and you were just sitting there like T_T thank you ilysm
so i think it's a very wholesome tumblr thing

if there's anything i've learned from the current state of social media it's that this is one of the worst possible notifications you can receive upon opening an app
#skye's ramblings#i thought you guys were exaggerating how ass-ugly the discord update is. why isn't this optional. what if we all died#big thanks to discord and tumblr for both making bad layout changes to their apps in the same week. i love complaining <3

I used to love writing. I mean I still do, and I get sparks of creativity all the time.
I never seem to get past a few chapters for a fic so I rarely post my writing.
But that's not what this is about.
You see, there is this thing people used to do. I have no idea where I remember this happening. But when I was younger I read several works people had done together. Whether it be POV shifted with alternating chapters, or they worked together for the whole thing.
I've always loved that type of work. I've always wanted to do such things.
But finding someone to write with you? Someone who has the same brain worms?
It can be hard.
Despite having been perusing tumblr for a long time, I didn't make an account till a few years ago. And I've enjoyed how people jump back and forth adding to prompts in the notes, it's a smaller version of what I enjoy so much.
I've done that, I've verbally jumped back and forth making short stories with friends as well. But finding time and motivation between people to bring about one central idea hadn't worked our for me too well.
So I guess why I'm saying this all is so I can see if anyone else has this issue, if anyone knows a platform that works best for such things.
I'd try and find people to write with. But that takes a little more than just spotting a person and agreeing to write with them.
I have also seen group things like this done for short prompts from large discord servers I'm Fandoms and such. But I think one of the most unique times I've seen this done was for some old zombie apocalypse story I had read on Wattpad when I was like 11.
Because yeah, I'm part of the time before making sure there were proper childlocks on every site and device.
Honestly kinda feel bad for the kids who are stuck with such things. I would have hated it.
But I understand they're important for kids who don't know any better.
Also, some people really need to just teach kids to click away or turn off things if it makes them uncomfortable. Because some people grow up instead just going through with watching or reading stuff that fucks them up in the head. Or they complain to adults and the adults turn it off or get rid of it for them and the kid gets like no problem solving ability for such thing.
I don't know many kids, but somehow I've still seem both issues prominently displayed in real life and on media platforms.
Anyways ignoring my beef with people, and other such things. I really do love back and forth about writing and with writing.
I think when I was in like elementary or middle school one of my teachers had a few assignments where I had to do such things. And that really opened this can of worms of me loving the idea.
Because I've never done sports or been a part of a large team, but I have had to team up in academic environments and doing creative writing with people who also enjoyed writing was just an incredible experience. Even if it was more likely you'd get stuck with someone who didn't like writing and they'd make the experience so very annoying and horrible, those few good times outweighs the bad for me through this type of writing.
It's once again, probably why I love tumblr so much. Because we do this in small doses throughout fandoms and general writing prompts. Some people ask that people don't add on or elaborate on their writing. But so many more seem rather happy if someone takes their beginning and adds a middle, even if they plan on writing their own middle and end.
It's honestly a fantastic thing.

I love Tumblr so much, you never know what you're gonna get on your dash, you could see the most normal average post and then keep scrolling to find that it's turned into the most informative epic debate you've ever seen with 2 plot twists and 3 real life accounts, pie graphs, real math\science, and pictures of someone's cat, and the post was something like "purple is my favourite colour" ...fucking insane and I wouldn't have it any other way

To illustrate this post by @mayahawkse I would like to visualize to you the difference:
A post in 2023:
A post in 2014:
A zoom out of the same post:
This is what a community looks like.
See how in 2023 almost all of the reblogs come from the OP, from their few hours/days in the tag search. Meanwhile in 2014 the % of reblogs from OP is insignificant, because most of the reblogs come from the reblogs within the fandom, within the micro-communities formed there. You didn't need to rely on tags, or search, or being featured. Because the community took care of you, made sure to pass the work between themselves and onto their blog and exposed their followers to it. It kept works alive for years.
It's not JUST the reblog/like ratio that causing this issue, it's the type of interaction people have. They're content with scrolling and liking the search engine, instead of actually having a reblogging relationship with other blogs in their community.
Anyways, if you want to see more content you like, the only true way to make it happen is to reblog it. Likes do not forward content in no way but making OP feel nice. Reblogs on the other hand make content eternal. They make it relevant, they make it exist outside of a fickle tumblr search that hardly works on the best of days.
If you want more of something, reblog it.
#i said i wont ever rant about this bc it's unseemly but HONESTLY.#you simply cannot complain about not having enough of A or B or C and then never reblog / interact with the content you love.#If you LOVE something you cannot just leave a like and silently wait for more to happen#I know countless of content creators that simply stopped doing art/writing fic/making edits#You need to understand that fandom content is made FOR the fandom FOR the engagement FOR the entertainment and fun it makes.#If a content creator does not have fun IN the fandom-- why would they spend the scares free time they have on making this content?#And we're not talking about things that you don't like-- no one expects you to reblog things you don't like.#However I think it's safe to say that when a post has more than 5k it's not some random shitpost with no value.#tumblr issues#tumblr#content creators#buns.txt#something something please don't starve your local clowns
