#Follow TT and myself on Tiktok!

[monster-bait]

Do you have any tips/advice for new indie writers?

Don't fall into the trap of being a social author.

Do you want to be a social media star or do you want to write books? Because every hour you spend making reels and tiktok videos? Should probably be spent writing.

"But I have to promote myself!" you say. "Social media is a free tool, why shouldn't I use it?!"

You absolutely should! But consider: Is your end goal likes on a post and follows on your TT account? Or conversion to book sales and longevity as an author? Because when you make yourself the product, the goal posts have a funny way of moving. External validation is like a drug, and when you've made yourself the star, getting that next hit of validation is going to supersede working on your craft and developing an authorial voice.

Honestly, it's not much different than being a writer in a fandom space, or posting content on a site like this.

Likes are great, reblogs are for discovery. If you are a consumer of Creator content, reblog and share the things you love.

But if you are the creator? Get your validation from somewhere else. Because the second you need it from strangers, you've already given up the game.

Question!!

I was wondering if you could tell me how you grew your art on social media in general? if that was your goal that is.

You're already really popular in the art community on Tumblr but I didn't know just how much bigger your name was in the art community until I saw a few people tag you on Twitter thanking you for commissions and conversating with you.

🥹

awwee thank yewww :)

sooo im not super popular but how i got more people to notice my art was from tiktok.

it was my first tt i had before it got banned🥸

Then tt had a whole agenda of banning me (got banned 7 times) so i got “known” for that 💀

i had a twt that had 40k but i deactivated it in December and a nice amount of those people either follow me on my new twt or new tt

honestly i just posted alot of bs between me, my art, and jokes about my art and people rocked w it.

When i post for myself i kinda gained a community from it and its pretty cool🥸

honestly in life it does come down to a) what situations we were around and b) the opportunities or lack thereof for example, our schools may not have had certain courses or we were just in the wrong country to really excell at it due to limiting options and vice versa. i reckon it is harder to get by in countryside than it is in the city at least in the city the people have more options for jobs and the likes countryside there is hardly much to pick and if we pick something it always involves travelling further than we need too.

wish i wouldve just picked something at school and stuck with it esp not having social media back then was more helpful i couldve done well without needing to be online :(

But you can learn online anon. You can learn online with native people, you can learn by yourself as well. I learned english by myself when I was young because I loved the american accent and the music lol. I wanted to understand and have the accent so I learned, by myself.

I also want to speak other languages as well and I use(d) apps, I try to read the words and understand them even if that’s hard. It’s not because you can’t have courses of it that you can’t learn. You could even learn by traveling.

Also, if you do not want to stay on your phone too much, delete some app starting by TIKTOK! I do not have TikTok for 1y and 1month and trust me I got better! I only have Insta, Tumblr and Whatsapp for my family. I don’t even have threads anymore (I got bored). You should delete apps and each time you delete them try to not use them for the longest time ; for example the first time I tried to no go on TikTok I did that for 1month, my second try (this one) I haven’t got on TikTok for a whole year lol.

Yes, I go on Insta’s reels but it’s less toxic there it seems? I mean, the videos I watch are less focused on people just showing off to get likes and comments and followers. Insta does show off lol but not the same as TikTok ans there are less drama compared to TT.

I think that’s what you should to if you want to stat less on your phone, delete the worst app to begin with and each time, try to not go on that app for the longest time you can until you don’t need to think of that app any more.

fuck I hate my brain

everything is bad brains and then my ex’s sibling asked on tiktok if they could follow me here. on a video explaining that I’ve been absent from tt but active here bc of issues. issues that are obviously in part about their fucking sibling.

like fuck no, hell the fuck no.

they’ve been a great help trying to get my ex to fucking talk to me. they’re on my side with the whole shit he pulled. that’s amazing and fantastic but that… doesn’t mean I want them reading everything I’ve written and done being back at my rock bottom.

this is the only place I can be unfiltered and unhinged and uncensored. it’s the safe space outlet for all the fucking shit going on in my life. its where I vent about being way too indulgent with some form of drug or another. its where I’m rambling about bad decisions that I know are bad before I make them but I do it anyway and then complain about it. its where I can straight up talk about all the fucked up shit in my head without judgment or harassment or being banned by the tiktok overlords.

it’s where I’m losing myself again into bandom, especially with my return to fic and MCR’s return, in some vain effort to reach the surface, climb out of this pit and breathe again. that’s something few people understand.

it’s so hard to explain that this fragile shell I’ve built around myself this past month has a lot before it’ll become a wall. that I’m broken and I don’t care if my tumblr friends see that. but tiktok doesn’t get to because tiktok uses every part of my own existence against me.

I said no and they don’t have my url. but it just kind of boggles me how they, the sibling of the love of my life who has totally destroyed and abandoned me, can ask for it, especially on a video where I was explaining the tiktok absence due to shit happening in my private life.

#they also commented some emoji on a vid I made dressed as mikey lip synching to bang the doldrums #but they don’t understand what that video actually means so like #I can’t fault them on that obviously. but that tt is far more than it appears on the surface #one of my regulars was like ‘yay ur dancing’ and it’s like yeah but that’s fake look at the shirt look at the lyrics

There’s a class action law suit against TikTok. Artis like myself demanding royalties for music/voice. Today TT deleted my account with 20K followers. I’ve (pro bono) law firms in #NYC👻”#volunteer lawyers for the #arts” I recommend to #artists in USA. Let justice be done.

Dear HPRP Community,

It’s been a long while since I’ve posted. I’m sure most of you have seen @sirussly​‘s post by now, but I really want to say a few words myself. 

First, I want to thank everyone who has followed, supported, encouraged and shared this experience with me. When I started the HPRP community, I just wanted to goof around in my room playing dress-up. I honestly never in a million years thought it would grow to become something that I care so much about.

The past four years have been some of the most incredible and fulfilling years of my life. I’ve made life-long friends, I’ve produced content that helped me express my love for art and creativity and grow as a person, and I’ve had the chance to share it with people who care for me personally and support me every step of the way. 

I don’t know how to thank you all for helping me become who I am now and providing me with a chance to do what I love for a living. I’m endlessly in shock over how lucky I am to be able to do this, and I’m so, so grateful. 

These last couple of years I’ve fallen in love, made wonderful, honest friends, sought out help for my mental health, produced four original series, turned 30 (wtf???), trudged through the hell-scape that is 2020, and so much more. It’s been eventful, to say the least, and I’ve grown a lot as a person. I think that’s why it’s time to say that I’m moving on, at least for now. 

This blog will always be one of the best choices I’ve ever made, and it will be here for those who want to enjoy and revisit the stories my dear friends and I have created. I’m sure Jess and I will pop in every now and then to say hi, but I think it’s important to clarify why I won’t be around much anymore.

I know I can always come back, but making a post like this on a blog that has been such a central part of my life for so long definitely makes me a lot-a-bit emotional, so I hope you don’t mind if I come off a wee-bit dramatic (guess it fits with the brand, huh?). ;)

I just want to say thank you for all you guys have done for me. I’ve loved this experience through the highs and lows, and I hope to see you guys around as I continue this journey elsewhere. 

Feel free to follow me if you’d like, I’ll still be around (@ttbret on IG, TikTok, YouTube, and Patreon). 

Love you all! <3

Okay okay, but picture this:

LeviHan tiktok AU

Where both have tt accounts and Levi's account is all about tea and mixology, and Hange's abt science experiments and chemistry reactions.

Hange once reacts to one of Levi's tt and immediately after that their followers DEMAND a collab between the two of them cuz you know... Chemistry=Mixology.

Hence, LeviHan friendship and eventually becoming the ultimate ship in nerd tiktok.

I mean, I would write it myself but English is NOT my first language and I'm lazy AF.
