Question for my mutuals and anyone that wants to join in and answer.

How do you feel when you see another person using the same name you use, or have used for your character on their character? This can be from Cyberpunk or any game you play.

I bring this up because I came across a post with the name Valaria as the tag for their character. Putting this out here now that I am not at all upset about this. I don't own the name and I'm pretty sure this name was used by many others before me in Cyberpunk and/or in other games/stories.

I'm generally curious how you all feel about names.

I don't know why they won't send me the email but here's a fucking meme while I wait.

Not really an ao3 question, more like a fandom one. So I post on my fandom blog pretty regularly, and I notice that some people reblog my posts often but they don't follow me, and (this part is really stupid) I'm a little hurt about that? Following them first seems like attention seeking (and also they might not follow back which already happened a couple of times and it's the most confusing feeling). Am I stupid and paying too much attention to things that don't matter?

*hugs* Anon, you're not stupid. But you are paying too much attention.

It's normal to look for meaning in actions when we don't have a reason why something is or isn't happening. You don't know why people aren't following your blog, so you're currently grasping at straws to figure out why that could possibly be.

If you want a reason why folks reblog you without following you, I'm going to point you to the For You tab. Someone in your fandom can easily see your fandom posts there because the content of your For You tab is floated to you based on your likes and reblogs. If you're using tags or writing about content that they otherwise like, they'll see you there.

Following someone's tumblr account is not a cry for attention. It is normal behaviour on a website where people post and share content. Likewise, not following back is not a rejection of you, the person. Some folks only follow people they know from other places. Some people have notifications filtered or reduced and won't know when someone follows them. Some people just scroll on past the notif and continue on their way.

I don't think your problem is about reblogging and following, though, anon. I think you're lonely and wishing that you had more fandom friends here on tumblr. That's a pretty common feeling, judging by my inbox (and the history of this blog since I started it years ago).

My advice is scary, but keep in mind that your tumblr url is not connected to your offline identity. Even if someone does reject you outright, they only ever know your screenname. They don't know you.

Follow first. Reblog with chatty tags. Send asks. Reblog prompt memes and asks memes. Send prompts and asks when other people post them.

And above all, do not keep track of who is following you and how many followers you have. Numbers and stats will drive you crazy if you pay attention to them. Instead, focus in on making one or two acquaintances that you can grow into friends and expand out from there.

*hugs* I hope you find your people, anon. I really do 💗

Still haven't gotten around to queuing up my backlog of photos or dabbling with the 2.3 update much, but here's a nice River from 2.2 in the meantime.

There isn't an easy way to do it on the mobile app, however xKit Rewritten extension for desktop Tumblr has an option to show only original posts! So you can pick.

The function has a tendency to brick itself on my main dashboard feed under the following tab (so it might not work super well if you're following a ton of people), but it works great on my subscribed feed! (I have a very select few blogs that I'm subscribed to specifically so I don't miss their OG posts.)

If you didn't know that you can actually subscribe to a Tumblr blog, that's because it's super hidden and dumb. On desktop you have to go to the individual blog, have to be following them, and then you click the "..." button on their header, and select the "get notifications" option.

And then you get a cool blog subs tab. And then you can toggle between original posts and all posts to your heart's content.

I know this is antithetical to how tumblr is meant to work, but I wish there were a filter that allowed you to see only the original posts that your moots make. That way, if you're gone for a few days, you can go slap on that filter and see what gloriousness you missed from them
