genuinely so sorry for the like-spam I didnt even realise I was doing it. I'll do my best to not do so from now on 😭 though I have to say I love your writing style and your work is some of the best I've come across 💕 hope you have a great rest of your day

no it's ok don't worry!! it only really makes me mad if you're a blank blog (no pfp, no age indicator, no posts, like absolutely nothing) and then don't follow me afterwards bc why read all of that and then not follow :/ it makes me feel like a machine interacting with other machines, which with all the bots and ai rn it's not very fun. but as long as i can tell that you're (probably) a real person interacting with my fics and just on a reading binge, that's fine by me! i do it myself too. i yell about this all the time but a great solution instead of liking posts is to reblog!! even if you make a separate sideblog with 0 followers and nobody ever sees them, it means way more to authors than spamming likes. just one reblog with tags is worth more than like, 20 empty likes. plus, even if you don't care about making the authors happy or not, reblogging makes it super easy to search for fics that you liked since tumblr doesn't have a way to search thru your liked posts! it benefits everybody involved, and the chances of authors getting mad or blocking you if you reblog rather than like spam are pretty much zero :)
