#I just love content

[bbbeowulf]

Okay so my 2 cents in the whole shipping debacle within the Aphverse is that… I genuinely like nearly every ship. I ALWAYS HAVE!!!!!!!

I am a very easy person to entertain, I always have been, so when watching MCD growing up YES I loved Garmau so much but I also fangirled like crazy when we got Laurmau moments. And at the same time I LOVED Garrance!! I loved and STILL love almost every ship, canon or not. I lost my MARBLES when Aarmau became hinted at in MCD and MYS then became canon (and while I do definitely see and understand the problematic aspects, and am equally as upset that they ruined other characters so Aaron looked better, I STILL LOVED SEEING SOME ROMANCE ACTION IN THE MOMENT!! Tbh it was just nice that Aph OFFICIALLY HAD A PERSON YK??? Cuz girl I was tired of the pining and false hope LMFAO)

and it was even with non Aphmau centric ships like Zana and stuff. Like I wanted Zanvis and Dana (is that the Dante x Nana ship name??) at first but when I got Zana I was like OKAY THIS HITS!!!!!

AND DAARON?;’dbfj DAARON DOES ANYONE REMEMBER DAARON!?!

I’m gonna be totally transparent and say I saw the appeal and shipped and liked the drama of Einmau UNTIL!!!!!!!! THEY REVEALED THEM TO BE SIBLINGS AND THEN I WAS LIKE 😟😨‼️ and literally wanted to tear my hair out oh my god I was so disgusted with myself 😭😭

But yes (ALMOST) any and all ships are fun to me bc I’m just a little baby who wants pixels to smash their blocky faces together idgaf who it is just give me romance give me drama give me food for my brain worms

i think we should remind musicians they can absolutely make up little stories for their songs btw. it doesn’t have to be about them at all. you can invent a guy and put him in situations to music. time honoured tradition in fact.

To illustrate this post by @mayahawkse I would like to visualize to you the difference:

A post in 2023:

A post in 2014:

A zoom out of the same post:

This is what a community looks like.

See how in 2023 almost all of the reblogs come from the OP, from their few hours/days in the tag search. Meanwhile in 2014 the % of reblogs from OP is insignificant, because most of the reblogs come from the reblogs within the fandom, within the micro-communities formed there. You didn't need to rely on tags, or search, or being featured. Because the community took care of you, made sure to pass the work between themselves and onto their blog and exposed their followers to it. It kept works alive for years.

It's not JUST the reblog/like ratio that causing this issue, it's the type of interaction people have. They're content with scrolling and liking the search engine, instead of actually having a reblogging relationship with other blogs in their community.

Anyways, if you want to see more content you like, the only true way to make it happen is to reblog it. Likes do not forward content in no way but making OP feel nice. Reblogs on the other hand make content eternal. They make it relevant, they make it exist outside of a fickle tumblr search that hardly works on the best of days.

If you want more of something, reblog it.

people who go through the main tags of big and tumultuous fandoms looking for new fresh good posts to reblog are essential to any circle. they’re like true hunter gatherers leaving the safety of settlement and braving the unknown wilderness to find food for the flock. they risk their lives every day and will come back with a few scratches at best and severe psychological damage at worst

paramount and spyglass are trying so hard right now to save face because jenna ortega rightfully left the scream franchise after they fired melissa for supprting palestine. nobody is dumb enough to believe the excuse that it’s a scheduling conflict hours after rumors she was trying to get out of her contract cause she was pissed. i’m very thankful that jenna is risking her career and using her position to do the right thing. she’s been outspoken about palestine for years now. i hope this begins a trend of zionist losing money for their support and complacency with an active genocide

Hey Wolfy, let's recreate Mr. Fyer's Cannon!

enough stories about how someone learns to truely be happy through love. i want a story where someone is desperately seeking out love thinking it's the only way to be happy only for them to learn by the end that happiness is what they make of it and they don't need love at all to make it.

I relate to lottie because if I had to soothe a group of cannibal teens in the wilderness who for some reason depended on my guidance, I too would probably just start throwing out fucking dbt ass name five things you can see techniques and pray none of them knew what it was

HaveYou Poll Blogs Masterpost

I don't know if someone has made one of these already, but seeing the recent surge in poll blogs themed around statistics related to the Tumblr userbase, I thought I would compile a bit of a list including all the ones I have seen around (if anything just for MY ease of being able to find and vote for them).

Submissions are currently closed there, but it is a great source for voting and discovering new interesting things to read!)

I will update and add more to this list as more potentially come out! Happy voting!
