u have such a wholesome relationship with ur moots ♡ (^‿^) ♡ do u have any tips on making mutuals?

OH EM JAYYY hi anon wth thank u sm ☹️💖 im so glad u think that and that's so nice for u to say!! i'm probably the worst person to ask for tips on making moots but i can most definitely share my personal thoughts? im actually horrible at making moots tbh 😭 i'm not normally one to interact first, so pls keep that in mind when you read this :>

this post is so fucking long im so sorry 😭 here's the tl;dr version bc u totally don't have to read anything below the cut unless ure really really bored: find blogs that are similar to yours, read their carrd/byf/dni, go thru their blog quickly before interacting, interact w their posts, but only interact with people that make posts you genuinely like (i.e. don't make moots for the hell of it), don't spam, vibe check (if they don't seem like they want to be moots, it happens! just back off!), prioritise having higher quality friendships rather than increasing your moot count, put disclaimers in your carrd/about me that say you would like to make moots so people know you're approachable. 

the way i've met most of my moots are through interactions on my/their posts. for example, they would read my story and share their thoughts through an rb/ask. then, i'd respond (by reblogging their reblog or by replying to their ask) and we'd hit it off from there. the reverse is also true — i've read people's stories, shared my thoughts on them, and they've responded from what i've said. personally, i think this is a really organic way of meeting people because most people on tumblr share their content with the intention that it gets interaction — for example, i write bc i really like it, but i also publish it because i love hearing what people think about it. i imagine a lot of other writers/content creators are the same, so again, interacting w people's content is a really great way to start a conversation! 

the thing about interacting with people's content is that i 1000% believe you need to be genuine about it. don't interact with people's posts with the sole purpose of becoming their moot — it should be about finding people that share your interests rather than increasing your friend/moot/follower count. before you interact with someone, think about why you're doing it. do you genuinely like them? or do you just want another follower? hopefully, the reason you'd even want moots in the first place is to find people that are similar to you; ones who share your interests and share content you want to see on your dash. as such, only interact with posts/content that you genuinely enjoy, like, and would love to see more of — that's how you can build really high-quality friendships, rather than superficial ones. i'm not sure that makes much sense? 

as an extension of what i've just said, if you see someone whose content you really like and you think you'd get along with, there are some preemptive things you can do to make sure things don't go weird. firstly, definitely read their carrds/byf/dni/about me posts because it'll tell you a lot about who they are and the kind of people they expect will interact with them. i'd also have a quick scroll through their blog and consider some things like whether or not you'd actually get along — what's their vibe like? do you have similar interests? are your blogs similar? do you stan the same groups? do you share the kind of content they'd actually want to see on their dash? these questions will kinda help you gauge whether or not your friendship will fizzle quickly or if you'll genuinely get along for a really long time !

personally, i'd never approach someone and ask "hey let's be moots!" in the same way i wouldn't walk up to a complete stranger and ask, "hey can we be friends?". it's not that i think there's anything inherently wrong with that (i actually have a few moots whom i met that way), i just think there are some considerations to take into place. before approaching anyone, it's important to consider whether or not you'd get along, which is why i recommend going through their blog and seeing what they're like. it'll save some awkwardness in the future, especially if you soon notice they're not a very interactive person and probably don't want moots in the first place. 

the people i most enjoy interacting with (i.e. my favourite moots) are ones whom i genuinely get along with really well — i actually really do like their content (and uh i hope they feel the same way LKDSJF), we have similar senses of humor, we don't bombard each other with notifs in way that feels super overbearing, and they're actually very very nice people. sometimes, we might get too swept up in this idea of "omg i want moots so bad" that we kind of just approach anyone, or our moot's moots, and that's why our friendships fall flat or the fizzle quickly. you need to find people whose blogs are similar to yours and go from there :) 

if there are other general tips i can add, i'd probably say that there are ways you can try make yourself more approachable. for example, you can put a disclaimer on your navi/about me/carrd that you do want to make moots and that you don't mind if people approach you first (i've done that in my carrd so people know it's totally okay to approach me!), always respond to your asks nicely, don't be problematic or start fights with other people, and don't be afraid to show off your personality in your posts. in terms of maintaining moots, check in with them every now and then (if it's actually been a while since you've interacted) by sending them asks or memes or something :> 

i don't know if this was all too helpful and i'm super sorry if this was quite tangential 😭 let me know if u want clarification on anything!! at the end of the day, treat it the same way you would with a real-life person — make sure you have something to talk about (i.e. you have things in common or you like to talk/post about the same things); make sure they're showing signs that they actually do want to be approached; don't stalk them or be weird by spamming them with things you hope they enjoy; and also just all in all be nice! make sure to vibe check; if you're always the one approaching them and they only give you short replies, they're probably not feeling it and it may be best to back off. btw, that's totally okay and it happens all the time, sometimes two people just don't get along :>> don't be too disheartened if you find it hard to make moots or approach people because the internet is so vast and you will certainly find your kind of people <33
