#this it officially the new lesbian flag I don't make the rules

[mdzsartreblogs]

12,000 Post Round up!

It's that time again!! :D

Updates:

In honor of Pride month, I've added tags for character sexualities and genders. I already had "trans character" as a tag, but now I've also got "asexual character," "bisexual character," "non-binary character," and others! The individual character is also tagged - so, a work featuring pansexual Lan Xichen would be tagged "pansexual character" and "pansexual lan xichen." These tags are only used when the work is explicit in identifying the character's sexuality, such as by including a Pride flag or by indicating the chosen sexuality in text. They are NOT used if sexuality is merely implied or if a non-definitive term is used (for example: artwork of a male and female character in a ship does not imply that either character is heterosexual. for another example: the terms wlw and mlm do not indicate clearly if a character is homosexual/lesbian, since they might also be bi, ace, pan, etc., and still be wlw/mlm.)

310 tags have been added to this collection, for artists, attributes, and more! There are now over 5,000 unique tags in use on this blog. In addition to the Pride tags mentioned above, I also added a few media tags, and of course new ship tags and such were added as needed. Usual reminder: If you have a specific trigger or squick that I'm not currently tagging, please let me know (anon asks are fine) and I will add it to my list!

The blog has over 1,000 followers now - 1,064, to be exact. Thanks for joining us, everyone!

If you know where any of the works tagged unknown location are, please let me know. Likewise, if you know any of the artists tagged unknown artist (it’s pretty much all official art), I’d appreciate your help a lot!

If you make fanart, feel free to DM it to this blog, or @ me @unforth (don't @mdzsartreblogs, tumblr rarely shows me those tags). I don't track any unique source blog tags but I do check #mdzs daily and reblog all artwork posted there provided it doesn't break any of my few rules (also provided that the creator hasn't blocked me, or I haven't blocked the creator - I've been blocked a handful of times (10 that I know of, to be exact), and I block people who post hate in the main tag, and yes, that's included a few artists.)

Always remember to support artists! Don't just passively consume/view what's posted here - make sure you're liking stuff and, even more importantly, REBLOGGING!, to help encourage content creators!

And now, behind a read more - some tag stats, because I like stats. (I do these tag audits every 1k posts primarily so I can catch any mistakes I've made, but also...I just like playing with spreadsheets).

Artists Tagged Most Often: At the 11k check in, there were 2,778 different artists with at least one work on this blog; now there are 2,938 - and increase of 160! I think that's one of our smallest increases yet - but it's still roughly 1 in 6 works by a new, never-before-represented artist. It's always exciting to have this evidence of how the fandom continues to grow! Reminder that this ranking below is about how prolific an artist is, and has nothing to do with popularity or anything like that.
