so i have a mildly popular “reblog and put in in the tags” post going around and its. very clear how many people don’t know how to interact with a tumblr post

so, first of all, tumblr’s culture has changed a lot in the past couple years. there’s a genuine community effort to not start any drama, and ironically a lot of the current hostility is an effort to keep things calm. there’s also a change in how people interact with posts, so if you haven’t been here in a while please skip down to the tags/replies/reblog with text section.

for newcomers: you should be reblogging posts about as liberally as you would like something on twitter. if you only like stuff, people will think you are rude/a bot. you’ve probably heard people talk about “cultivating your dash,” and thats because this platform is 100% centered around your dashboard. trending matters less, unfollowing and blocking in order to shape your dash into it’s best form is widely accepted, the majority of the content you’ll find and interact with will be because of your dash, and the only way to put things on your dash is to reblog them. tumblr users are deeply distrustful of algorithms and have largely turned off the “see posts your friends have liked” function (i recommend you also turn of the various algorithms in settings → general settings → dashboard preferences).

so, once you’ve reblogged a post, there’s three ways to add content to it. the tags, replies, and reblogging with text. all of them have different connotations

the tags: an inside voice. originally they were meant for organizing your blog (and they’re still used for this), but they’ve also morphed into a way to share thoughts that aren’t funny/insightful enough for non-followers to be interested in. when in doubt, put your comment in the tags

replies: basically talking to your friends in class. your followers have no way of finding your replies (they don’t pop up on the dash, nobody gets notified except for the original poster) so chances are, only the person who made the post is gonna see your comment. it’s for quick one-offs that you’re okay with other people overhearing, but really is only made for one person. they’re like a public dm

reblog with text: an outside voice. you’re getting up on a stage in town square and entertaining people. make sure it’s funny or insightful— bottom line, add something new to the conversation. you should use this the least

general rules of thumb: 

when in doubt, reblog. people will judge you if your blog is only personal posts and you only interact with other content by liking it.  

the only things people will judge you for reblogging are personal vent posts. leave a like to give a little virtual hug

if a post is asking about your personality/opinions (i.e: tell me what’s the last tv show you watched, that kind of thing) put it in the tags 

also if you see a nice edit, gifset, or art, reblog and say something nice in the tags! it’s that nice sweet spot of common enough that no one will notice but uncommon enough to make the artist’s day

I have so many thoughts after the 7-2 poem...

They’re fucking sentient. This one specifically writes prose about the love it has for its battery, and the hatred it has for itself. This went from being strapped into a death machine to being strapped inside a death machine that can think and hates itself and its purpose as much as you hate it.

And what the fuck does this mean about the other machines? Do sentries cherish the ability to see the world for what it is while everyone else sees it as pixels? Do guttertanks hate guttermen or do they feel pity for the beings they were made to destroy? Do earthmovers care for the cities living atop them? What the fuck does this mean for V1?!?!?! I always thought it was purely nonsentient, since I remember reading that somewhere. But...

We see other machines showing some form of emotions like V2’s sportsmanship and spite as well as the Mindflayers' protectiveness of their bodies that they themselves made at the cost of materials, and the Swordsmachines finding themselves beautiful and hoarding old scrap, seemingly for the sentimentality of it. But this is like the first confirmation of sentience other then the terminals. Do these machines feel pity for the sinners? Do they sympathize with the demons, created to fill out a single purpose and unable to deviate from it? Is V1 sentient or an exception? What does it think of Hell’s monologues? Does it enjoy being Hell’s favorite gladiator or does it hate that role? I’m going crazy over this! Were there machines that willingly died because they couldn’t stomach the idea of fighting their brethren for blood? Are the people in the Guttermen dead because the life support failed over time... Or was it because the Guttermen disconnected it themselves as a form of mercy?

Thanks @atomarium for the suggestion.

Based off that one picture but minus the interesting perspective, I cant do that. Took me a while but I think I've gotten a little better at drawing humanoid things. There's still plenty wrong with it, but I'm content to leave it here.

Any tips or suggestions or anything is welcome.

Thanks

Blazing Magma was designed to be intimidating, being one of many guards of city he resided in. He was never loyal to an iterator, but now that the ancients are gone often relies on Smoldering Brimstone for resources for energy generation. In return, similar to artificer, he protects against curious creatures picking apart their superstructure and killing the inspectors and neuronflies within.

[jaime-in-chaos]

Yeah.

Made a personalized design for Seven Red Suns! Other iterators soon, maybe.

(I had some inspiration for this, but if I accidentally copied designs without knowing, plz tell me, thx)
