#am I breaking some sort of tumblr etiquette I feel like I'm breaking some sort of tumblr etiquette

[intrepidacious]

I think getting blocked is personal

Plus whilst I support reblogging etc people like things as bookmarks and that is valid btw just as mass liking and not reblogging is not valid.

I am getting severe anxiety about the way Tumblr is becoming like a dinner party on the Titanic with all this etiquette stuff. We can have common sense and decency right? We can educate people without issuing lectures. Like all this just reads at first as sensible but then it just becomes excruciating with the way y'all just take it too far. It's Tumblr, not the dinner party on the Titanic. I know there's always going to be people or elements that fuck up Tumblr and ruin the experience but we need some sort of balance. I feel like it's becoming a police state tbh.

I have mutuals demanding their followers interact with them at every point or they want you to unfollow them. Even if you're taking a break and aren't online, they're still threatening followers. If you like a fic to read later because your break at work is over and you want to read it later, you're being blocked. Maybe liking stuff is triggering some people because that's all they get and I get that too. But I think it's dangerous to overthink this. You can go from being proactive about personal space on here to fucking Orwellian in the blink of an eye.

while i empathize with this and i'm sorry you feel this way, i don't agree.

blocking isn't personal. i understand why it might feel that way, and i guess it's personal in the sense that every creator decides, personally, who to allow into their space. but that has nothing to do with the blockee. it's looking at their actions and deciding whether that is a person i want to interact with me. this isn't an action exclusive to the internet; you don't want to keep talking to people who disrespect your boundaries in real life, either. it's just more extreme on here, i get that.

i was asked to provide a "tumblr etiquette" based on a specific scenario where i don't know either person involved. that's why i went broad in my explanation; not to lecture anyone. as with most scenarios, none of these "rules" i gave are fixed. they're not even rules, they're guidelines that i thought could be helpful. there are lots of people who are very new to this site and don't know about the nonexistant algorithm, for example. for me, i don't block people based on all the examples i gave, but i've observed all of them. so while people using their likes as a bookmark is valid, it might get them blocked if that's their only interaction with creators.

this isn't the dinner party on the titanic, no, but the ship is sinking nevertheless. interaction is what keeps fandom afloat, and a lot of people are struggling because there's just not a lot of it. it's a difficult balance sometimes. i'm sad to hear that you're not having a good experience with your mutuals. take care of yourself, please.

hi! I'm aether. this is my secret little horny blog or whatever.

just some stuff about me:

- I'm 22 years old.

- I'm a man.

- I'm transgender.

- I'm bisexual but right now I'm pretty much exclusively attracted to trans women because my girlfriend is trans.

- I'm disabled, most importantly I am a sociopath (so please block me if I fit your dni because I struggle with boundaries sometimes, I try to be respectful but I just don't always know) and I am a system (just two of us, I won't distinguish between myself and my alter but we both use social media and have different personalities so don't expect consistency).

- I've never used Tumblr before so sorry if I have a hard time formatting/tagging/etc. don't feel bad about giving me tips if I annoy you or calling me out if I have bad etiquette.

about my sexual preferences and what I may post:

- basic things I love body modification, especially hole stretching; urethral penetration; feederism, physically I love being fed especially overfed but I also love vore; ownership; cnc, especially stuff with mind breaking, drugging etc.

- I am a necrophile. I don't feel any sort of attraction to real, living people.

- I sexually age regress. I love being treated like a baby/toddler. I wear and use diapers.

- I love incest. specifically bro/sis but I enjoy mother/son as well. better if it's straight shota.

I often enjoy the depravity of situations just as much or even more than the actual content. I love that I'm a degenerate and that I'm hopelessly depraved. don't feel the need to treat me as if I should be accepted for the way I am because I shouldn't be. if it makes you uncomfortable that I get off on your judgement just don't interact.

why should you judge me?:

- I touch myself to photos of real gore and corpses.

- when I'm having an intimate moment with my partners I have to pretend I don't want to kill them.

- I wish I could kidnap someone and I don't see anything wrong with using other people as objects.

- I wish I was a child so pedos could rape me.

- I wish I was born into a family of perverts that could groom me into an underage incestuous toy.

- I get jealous of kids who get to be the partners of pedophiles.

- I get jealous of my partners younger siblings.

- if given the opportunity I would bring an inbred child into the world to fulfill my own fantasy.

- probably more that I can't think of right now.

as for a dni, obviously MINORS DNI, as well as transphobes and antis. racists/sexists etc even though you can't hurt me I want nothing to do with you.

I guess if you legitimately are judgemental or think I'm gross and you're gonna be mean about it just leave me alone.

I'm always open to have a conversation with literally anyone so please message me if you want to talk. I promise despite everything I am friendly.

Also imagine: the day after the finale, glimbow and catradora are hanging out somewhere and Adora's just happily talking about how much she loves her wife Catra because yes Adora is the type to do that I don't make the rules but she's just obliviously dropping innuendoes every other word and glimbow's just like o.O while Catra's just there dying inside.

Hi! I'm sorry if this is breaking some sort of etiquette, because I literally never read fan fic and I know practically nothing about the writing community on here. I'm not even 100% sure who Pedro Pascal is. But I stumbled across your "Don't Look" story last night and I stayed up until 6 am reading the entire thing in one sitting. It is absolutely beautiful. You are a truly, truly gifted writer. I just wanted to ask if that work is completed or if it is still ongoing? I'm sorry if this is redundant or rude, like I said I have no experience with these types of things. I was just looking around your blog and I wasn't sure if some of your recent wordings implied that it was finished. Either way, thank you for the beautiful, moving story! (Also I saw you recently expressed some writing difficulties so please don't take this as any form of pressure or anything, just a genuine fan asking a genuine question 😊)

Dear anon, thank you so much for sending me this very kind message. You are 100% not breaking any etiquette... quite the reverse. The fact that you read this story without even knowing Pedro Pascal, or being a fic reader, and that you stayed up until 6am to read the whole thing? ...Let me tell you that these are some of the most thrilling and flattering things for any fic writer to hear. You have absolutely made my day and I feel very lucky that you took a chance on my story and were thoughtful enough to write to me.

And it is absolutely fine to ask about the next update. This story is not completed yet and I will definitely be finishing it. I am indeed having some trouble with the next chapter. This is frustrating because it would have been lovely to post it in December, due to where the plot left off at the end of chapter 4, but it was not to be.

When the next chapter is written I will post it here and also on Ao3. You can find a link to my Ao3 page in my Tumblr header and on my writing masterlist (sorry about all the porn on that list though 😅)

Fyi if you want to be alerted when I post chapter 5 you could subscribe to the fic on Ao3 - you need an account to do that but it is free and you will stay anonymous to me - or you can DM me here and I'll send you a message when I post it.
