to those of you who are moving here from tiktok, from someone whos used both tiktok and tumbr for years...

1. DO NOT censor your posts

dont censor sex, abuse, suicide, dont censor it. we dont have censors like tiktok does, you wont be banned for talking about these things and tagging them properly helps people avoid them (also, we dont have shadowbanning here)

2. we dont really have an algorithm

you follow who you follow, and you see posts from who you follow or what you search. the 'for you page' is basically useless here. this also brings me to my next two points

3. dont crosstag

we get it, on tiktok you have to crosstag for reach, but thats not really a thing here. just tag your posts properly (also posters often leave more info about the post in the tags!! and when you reblog stuff you can leave your own notes in the tags, kind of like the old "repost comments" on tiktok)

4. dont expect to go viral/be famous

"viral" isnt really a thing on here (at least not for the average blogger). your posts will probably get 2-10 likes and you wont get nearly as many followers than on tiktok. thats just how tumblr is

5. blocking is your best friend

tiktok is VERY discussion based, and while tumblr is much more discussion based than other social medias, its still not a good place for ragebait/discourse. dont interact, itll make your experience worse in the end, just block and move on

6. you cant go into someone elses house and start rearranging their furniture

this is tumblr, not tiktok. dont diss old tumblr users for how they use the site or try to change them, thats like going into someone elses house and trying to rearrange their furniture. we've been here longer and we're familiar with the site and its culture, either find your niche, adapt, or find a different app

its good the tf2 pattern won because i have already completed over 75% of the initial pattern

#55, 56 and 71 for the fic writer's asks, please!

alrighty!

55 - Of all the characters you wrote for, who's your favorite/has that been swayed by readers reactions?

that would probably be my BLU Medic tf2 oc, Kasper! back when i was writing the first version of my first fic, i kinda made him a crybaby? i guess? i don't like how my writing was back then, and ive improved and i can't wait to write him again! but better.

56 - What's something about your writing that you pride yourself on?

probably my detail and ability to elaborate on things! i really like going into detail and worldbuilding.

71 - How do you keep track of story elements in complicated narratives?

i just create a separate google doc (cause i don't like the writing format on ao3) with important bullet points about characters, events, etc. also, i wing literally everything. all that i have "planned out" before i write a fic is just the plot and some vague ideas. i actually write in my head. like, i think of different story beats that could possibly happen next and then i write them down, and i edit them in my head too. it's a very funky puzzle to me.

thank you for your ask!!! =]

congrats m8!!!! :]
