Hi, let’s talk about reblogs, again. 

If you don’t want to hear about it again, just scroll away, because this is going to be long.

As many other creators, including my moots, have pointed out in some of their posts, the like to reblog ratio has been getting worse. I’ve only been on tumblr for less than a year, and I’ve seen it get worse. On a good day, the ratio could be 1 reblog to 10 likes, with comments and feedback. Unfortunately, the ratio usually looks more like 1 reblog to 20-25 likes, with little to no comments and/or feedback. While we’re grateful for the likes, likes don’t do anything on Tumblr. 

Tumblr operates on reblogs NOT likes so please consider reblogging posts.

I’ve seen comments like “but no one follows me so will me reblogging really help” or “it’s okay I have my likes on.” Admittedly, I don’t fully understand how the system works, but here’s my interpretation of it. I acknowledge that there may be some mistakes, I don’t understand computer science…

Referring to this post by @\engineering, reblogs act as “a signal boost.” The more people reblog the original post, whether it includes their own comments or not, and regardless of whether the account has followers or not, it helps to boost/ spread the post to more people. Imagine it like a tree which grows more branches every time the post is reblogged. 

If you have followers, as the reblog tree grows, it reaches your audience, some of whom would have never seen the original post before. If you don’t have followers, then the Tumblr algorithm does most of the work. As the reblog tree grows more branches, it reaches other people’s for you pages, especially if the other person has interacted with the same kind of posts/ accounts you have interacted with before, eg. posts on Seventeen. Conversely, if you just like the post, no branches are being grown, which means the post is not being spread. Spam liking can also lead to the original creator being shadowbanned (which is why some creators understandably block spam likers).

Additionally, in this post by @\mrsmothmon, she says that this tree-like growth structure means  reblogs are the norm here on Tumblr, it's part of Tumblr’s culture and etiquette. It’s been this way since Tumblr was created, and that’s not going to change just because time has passed.

Hence, why creators are always urging others to consider reblogging their posts. Reblogging doesn’t take a lot of time and effort, and it’s just probably one of the only ways you can show creators any support on Tumblr. When you reblog, you help to grow that little tree further which then spreads our work to new audiences. 

To put it bluntly, when we see the dismal like to reblog ratio, it’s disheartening, demoralising, and is a very big reason why many creators don’t feel like creating/ writing. Creators spend hours, if not days or even months, creating content for others to enjoy for free. We don’t get paid for this, yet we’re putting in so much effort, love, and time into it. 

Yes, we genuinely enjoy creating, that’s why we started posting content in the first place. But, we also love interacting with the people who consume our content. We love to hear what you have to say about our content, your thoughts/ feelings. It could just be a simple heart, long rambles, or even just incomprehensible screaming. Or, if you don’t wish to do any of those things, a simple blank reblog is greatly appreciated as well because as I mentioned, it helps to spread our work. It makes us feel appreciated, it motivates us to create more because we see that people actually like our content. Most importantly, it makes us feel seen. Trust me, your reblogs and comments make the whole world of difference between us feeling like we’re human beings who put our hearts and souls into creating, versus feeling like we’re simply content generating machines. 

Honestly, I hesitated on whether or not to even make this post because I know that to some, posts about reblogs are really annoying. While I am very very appreciative of all the love and support I’ve received on Tumblr so far, the issue of reblogs is just something that’s been weighing on my mind for a while. I’m not saying you have to reblog everything you see, no one is forcing anyone to do anything. And I’ll be the first to admit I need to work on reblogging more too, but, I hope this post helps to clarify why reblogging is so important, and why creators, myself included, are always urging others to consider reblogging their content. 

Thank you <3

Questions:

What kpop group really paved the way for you in the kpop world?

Pick a bias in a group you truly feel connected to on a personal level:

Pick a song in kpop that helps you through rough days:

Sending love and wishes for you!!! Have a good day my mochi!!!

this is so late omg bae i am so so sorry 🫶🏼 i hope you have the most amazing day/night!!

which kpop group paved the way for me?

i'm not familiar with earlier groups but for me, it's definitely mamamoo! maybe it’s bc they’re inspiring to watch but they certainly paved the way for many girl groups today :))

pick a bias in a group you truly feel connected to on a personal level

okay this one took me some time to think about…i think i’m most connected to jaehee from nct wish! i don’t know how to explain it but sometimes it feels like he would be an amazing best friend :)) not to mention, his eyes are so gentle…idk i could be wrong but i think he has a good heart

pick a song in kpop that helps you through rough days

i personally love stay awake by youngjoo!! it’s from café minamdang and oh my god it truly just makes me want to go out and achieve my dreams!! the ost from extracurricular was also an option but stay awake probably motivates me more.

hiiii i love ur writing and i love leehan so i was wondering if you could write a tending to wounds fic under close proximity so there’s like lots of tension n stuff..!! thank u :):)

close enough | leehan

〔 pairing 〕 patient! leehan and nurse! reader

〔 author’s note 〕 i am so very sorry this is late, love!! tyyy for liking my writing 🫶🏼 i hope i did your ask justice!!

“The best I can do right now is bandage you, but i'll be back later to check your arm.”

The boy in front of you nodded quietly, inwardly cursing himself for being klutzy around you. He tripped going up the stairs because he saw you at the top of the steps, and to make it worse, he already had a broken arm.

Ever since you were assigned to be his nurse, he began developing a sort of crush on you. How could he not? You were beautiful, and especially pretty when focused on your job. Not to mention your empathetic personality, full of charisma and kindness.

You take out an alcohol pad, warning him that it will sting his wound. Again, he nods. A small smile graces your face as you laugh. "Are you nervous, Leehan? Don't worry, the sting won't last long."

You were so cute. He hears you mutter a countdown before he feels the sting. Immediately after, he feels a cold air. Looking towards his wound, his eyes widen seeing you blow gently to make the sting less painful. He watched your lips open, mentally noting how glossy they were. Was it normal to feel this way? Most likely not, but there was nothing he wanted more than to kiss you.

As you look towards the boy currently sitting on the bed, you wonder why he has not called anyone to let them know that he is in the clinic. You analyze his features, the way his eyes crinkled at the creases, everything about him was stunning. It would be wrong to fall for someone you're treating. At the same time...

You snap back to reality, putting the first aid kid back in the cabinet. You had 5 more hours before your shift ended and you didn't really want another talking to from your boss. "I'll just put a bandaid on your wound and then I have to get back to work."

He smiles, "Thank you by the way." Maybe it was the way your eyes sparkled or something in the air but Leehan felt his heart rate rise. You had such a gentle presence as you applied a bandaid to his scrape. Undeniably, there was a tension between you and Leehan, but you had work to finish. Shrugging your shoulders, you let out a sigh as you took a seat next to the boy.

“Listen Leehan-“ you started. He locks his eyes on you, not wishing to miss a word you say. Before you continue, he interrupts you, "You...you know about my crush, don't you?"

This time, it’s your turn to nod quietly. The air is quiet, a comfortable silence between the two of you as Leehan suddenly begins to laugh. You giggle hearing his laugh- it was contagious. Of course you knew about his crush. It didn’t take rocket science to see that he had a crush on you. Over time, you started to admire his personality, falling for him too.
