I don’t usually post my fanart, because the imposter syndrome really does hit hard - but I figured I should just start throwing it out into the void

…which coincidentally, Night did to Dream. Whoops.

Fandom PSA - Tumblr Tags Exist for a Reason

It’s time to have a chat about tagging, my lovely Dreamling fandom, especially as we sit waist deep in waiting-for-season-two mode.

Specifically Tumblr tagging.

Here’s a few examples of what I’ve seen NOT BEING TAGGED when reblogged by the fandom at large more and more frequently over the past few months:

Interesting concepts blowing up and getting a lot of activity/interest (Cow Hob and Centaur Dream)

Continued exploration into “gender what gender” for Dream, and often Hob, in the context of Omegaverse, with varying anatomy

Pregnancy AUs, both human and otherwise

Dub Con/Non-Con exploration in AUs

The vast majority of the time - tagging issues do not apply to the original creator. They are often tagging their content, and that allows people to avoid it if it is triggering for them. No one is perfect, and I’m not asking anyone to be - but when multiple someones tell me they feel pushed out of the fandom on Tumblr because they cannot escape triggering content due to lack of tags on reblogged posts?

Means we’ve got to do better as consumers of content to treat each other with respect and care.

Be as kinky as you want. Be as down and dirty and nasty as you want, and I will cheer you on every moment. But playing in a group community means you gotta tag those posts, loves.

Here’s a list of stuff that can be triggering based on what I’ve heard from these folks that should have tags indicating as much:

Pregnancy Kink/Detailed Pregnancy descriptions

Breeding kink

Anatomy changes for characters (Dream/Hob with a vulva, especially - this is extremely inconsistently tagged in the fandom lately)

Non-human characters

Non-Consensual Relations

Dub-Con Relations

MCD

I am a very firm believer in Don’t Like, Don’t Read - but in order for that to work - someone has to know what they’re reading. Getting surprised by a trigger is not an experience I’d wish on anyone. And I do not want someone to feel like they have to leave the fandom, because so many people are reblogging works untagged and they feel like they have to unfollow everyone or get triggered.

A great way to do this is to add the creator’s tags to your original post. If you’re like me and use Tumblr mobile the vast majority of the time - that’s a very easy way to help alleviate the issue! I’m definitely not asking anyone to create their own massive tag system (I certainly don’t have one!), but when writing and reblogging some of these topics - please make sure you’re tagging them.

Let’s do our best to make sure this fandom can be enjoyed by everyone who wants to enjoy it!
