Double post! I drew this a bit ago

i was drafting a post that said “a single boba tea can replace up to two meals if you are pure of heart” and the reason i didn’t post it is because as i was typing those words i got so dizzy i felt like i was being abducted by aliens

I'm glad that people are still having fun on tumblr even after we found out about the frightening ghoul that reblogs posts but doesn't say anything

sometimes you need dialogue tags and don't want to use the same four

⚠️PSA For New Users from TikTok:

Here are some helpful things I have heard or done as a way to navigate this app:

Reblog things. Likes are ok but the Double tap does Nothing for reaching ppl here. For content to reach more people - Reblog it.

This app is text and photo based. Videos do ok here but mostly this is for Unhinged writers, artists and bloggers as far as I can tell. Not for you? Try something else.

Say whatever you want in the tags. There is no God. No Devil. No rhyme or reason. Sure tag things that might be relevant to your post or leave an Unhinged take on something there. Honestly no real rules for tags.

NSFW and 18+ content is risky. Goes without saying for most social media, but "spicy" art kinda went through a Purge here. However fanfic is welcome! (See point 2)

Staff is not that serious. There's a semi running joke about them. Honestly just don't be a raging asshole and you'll be fine.

THERE IS NO ALGORITHM. Follow people whose content you like to keep seeing it. Works kinda like TikTok sorta ig. Instead of an FYP it is called your Dash or Dashboard. You see the content to reblog or follow. Do this by engaging with the app and seacjing for tags you like. On that note...

Don't like something? BLOCK IT. There is no reason to hate on something you don't like or that isn't for you. Again, no algorithm so if you cone across tags you don't jive with, block it.

There is no reason to censor yourself. The lingo and language used over on other apps doesn't translate here well. Plus, as above, it makes it harder for ppl to block things. A good example would be "unalive" and "sewer slide" just add in the actual words in tags or if you'd like have huge/attention grabbing (colored, folded, etc) text near the top of your posts so ppl can get what they want and leave what they don't.

Side blogs are awesome. Don't feel like cluttering up all your content on 1 blog? Make another! Keep art on one and knitting on another! Or whatever you like! People have side blogs all over the place!

Be open. Things have changed for you all just joining us, but some of us have been here a LONG time. (Ex: Started this blog in 2014 I think) Some of us are even now just coming back after not using this site in YEARS. There will be jokes you don't get, lingo and stories you may not understand. But give it enough time and I think you may end up liking this funny little dumpster fire of a site that's been around on this corner of the app store and internet for a while.

If you don't know something, ask a Vet! More than likely some of us have been here a while. Ask boxes and Dms will be open for us to response in due time. Or ask a friend! Again, this place is an old home to quite a number of us. You might be surprised how much some will remember about our little hellscape.

Have some fun! This is the Wild West of social media apps. There's a few rules, but in truth we're beat to hell and back but we're still here and probably will continue to be for a while.

We don't want to be "relevant" or "trending". I can't guarantee you can get paid or even viral here, but you find your little niche and enjoy the content as you like, just don't be mad if you can't go viral or start something new here. It's a place of being ourselves and helping each other discover new fandoms, ideas, etc without worrying about what content we churn out.

Other than that... can't say much else. Feel free to look around for others showing y'all the ropes.

🎉Welcome to Tumblr🎉

Welcome all TikTok refugees. I'm here with yall😭

[luna6499]

just saw someone post “it’s common knowledge ur not supposed to spam reblog from someone ur not mutuals with” …..?????????? am i confused??? IS that common knowledge???? i try not to spam if i can help it but i actually personally love seeing spam notifs lmao??? unless i dont know what spam reblog means

[luna6499]

Just saw a video on TikTok in which someone proclaimed Tumblr as the next best migration point for them, once the US ban goes into effect. Something about the creative space, the rogue nature being great for just being and stuff.

I mean, yeah. Just ask those Redditors and Twitter refugees who found their bubble here. But also, no, please no... Your rules, your language just don't vibe. We don't want TikTok speak here. That destroys what little use our search function has! And our tag block lists!

Well, anyway, we'll deal with it as always if it really comes to that, by flodding our dashboards with public service announcements.

the worst part about the tiktok ban is now I have to compile a list of all 200 people I follow so I can follow them elsewhere AND download the hundreds of audios and favorites i have so I can still do the fun ideas associated with them

Like a cozy campfire that has never extinguished. May have had to add a log here and there but hasn't died yet!

So who's ready for the influx of TikTok refugees that'll be coming next week when the ban happens? Kinda like the Reddit influx from a year or so ago.

With Uncle Sam making his choice of Mark Zuck and Elonia Musk's shit sites and needing to take down the big bad Chinese Gov spy app in the clock app. It's always been nice to have Tumblr as the small Dumpster fire that just keeps being there for everyone.
