#and if you reblog please do not use the relevant keywords

[stumpyjoepete]

Saw an annoying post about {annoying discourse thing you probably know about and if you don't, don't bother learning about it}. Roughly the take was "if you're complaining about {counterproductive act}, tell me how you're personally doing something more effective to solve {X}".

First off, this is annoying because {X} is a topic that in no way suffers from a lack of *awareness raising*. It's an industrial policy issue, and you're going to solve it (or not) on that basis, not from some kind of messianic marching in the streets. Furthermore, it's an issue where the average person in government is way more willing to commit resources to solving this than average voter. If governments actually were really ~listening to the people~ on the topic, they would be doing far less than they're already doing.

Secondly... why are you putting this rhetorical burden on the critics? If you're doing some obnoxious counterproductive bullshit, people have every right to criticize you, and you should just fucking stop. I'm automatically doing a more effective job at solving the world's problems by the simple expedient of not actively trying to blow my own dick off, thank you very much.

[tbb-appreciation-week]

Welcome to The Bad Batch Appreciation Week 2023!!!

The time for appreciating Clone Force 99 is near! The prompts have been revealed HERE, so we must set some rules. Seems fair, right? So, here they are:

Event Info & Rules

TBB APPRECIATION WEEK is a week-long, prompt-based creation challenge to celebrate our love for the Batchers and the show. There are 7 groups of prompts—one for each day of the week—, which can be used, skipped, or combined in any way you’d like. They are meant to be an inspiration without being taken literally (i.e., you don’t have to include the exact wording of prompts in your work). Feel free to interpret them at your convenience. For example, if the prompt is “anooba”, you can create either something about the animal, use it as a name/mascot of a sports team in your modern-day/our Earth AU, or as an analogy for someone with a voracious appetite. It’s up to you.

Each group contains a character plus 5 different prompts (SFW, AU/Trope, Dialogue, NSFW, and a color palette). As it says above, you can use any, some, or all of them. Also there's also a short list of jokers/alternatives that you can use only one time each to replace any of the main prompts. The idea is to give everyone as much creative freedom as possible. The participants can create works in any media they choose, including but not limited to: writing, art, edits, gifs, videos, playlists, cosplays, etc. The only restriction is that it needs to be focused on The Bad Batch.

Also, people can participate as much or as little as they want, meaning that you don’t have to do ALL the days if you can't/ don’t want to.

Collaborations are welcome and even encouraged. For example, if an artist and a writer want to work together, or a writer and a podficcer, or two writers, go for it!

When uploading TBB Appreciation Week content to your Tumblr blog, be sure to mention this blog and add the following hashtags:

#tbbaw2023

#the character of the day

#day 1, #day 2, #day 3, etc… (the corresponding day)

#medium (gifset, fic, podcast, fanart, etc.)

#trigger warnings, if applies. (Please do NOT to add “tw” in front or at the end but only use the word/trigger itself, because the way Tumblr tag blocker feature works, it makes it harder for people to block the right tag.) (List of trigger warnings)

#prompt(s) used

#nsfw (only for NSFW content)

#any other relevant tags go here

PLEASE BE DILIGENT WITH YOUR TAGGING (both by mentioning the blog and putting the necessary tags). That'll ensure that your post will be reblogged on this blog.

I'll do my best to reblogged everyone's posts, but if it passes 2–3 days and I haven't posted yours, please let me know.

In addition, you can also add your work to the Ao3 Collection if you want.

If you are posting NSFW fics or art on Tumblr, I ask that you use the Keep Reading break and/or the Community Labels to hide the NSFW portion of your work; and please, give the proper warnings; (If you don't know how to do a keep reading break on mobile, go to this tutorial). On Ao3, please, use the correct rating and warnings as well.

There won't be censorship in this event, so everyone is free to create whatever they want. Participants are expected to hold judgment to themselves of others and their works, even if they don't agree with or find it repulsive. That means that harassment of anyone or anything that they post (even if said work is something you personally find morally reprehensible) WILL NOT BE TOLERATED. Anyone that breaks this rule will be banned from the event. Curate your own experience by blocking what upsets/squicks/triggers you, and leave everyone else alone. That's the importance of the correct tagging, as it says above.

If an author or artist has asked for constructive criticism, you may give it (with constructive being the keyword). However, refrain to give any of the unsolicited kind, as it can be discouraging for the author or artist.

Important!! Show support to other participants by liking, reblogging, AND commenting. But most of all, HAVE FUN!!! This is meant to be a lay-back event to show love for our favorite characters.

I'm looking forward to seeing what you all come up with!

If you have questions, you can check out the F.A.Q post. But if you don't find there the answer you're looking for, send me a message to the ask box or a DM, either in this blog or my fandom blog @nimata-beroya.

Thanks for reading, and happy creating!

Wally Rosette | He/him | @hershelchocolateart

Wally Rosette is a 15-year-old kid who was chosen (and then kidnapped) to attend the Elite Villainous International Learning facility. This position, however, is solely because his parents were world-famous villains. Wally himself has no interest in the business, and is often described as the sweetest person any of the cast has ever met. He spends most of his time in the background, helping out faculty and students with their homework or various tasks, and only ever becoming relevant when homework *is* the plot of the week. Wally is just a kind kid who knows better than to get involved in the plot and loves his friends so so so so so so so fucking much it's unreal

Mason | He/him | @hershelchocolateart

CW: Cartoony bugs, minor eye horror

Mason is a Monster in a world of Monsters that rule the underworld of the city. Mason is an office worker at an office building where he doesn't even know what his job is. He just knows he's an office worker in a real office building :) he's an Insect Monster which usually results in the user becoming an insect themself, eventually losing their humanity and giving in to their animalistic nature. Mason is a beehive. He's friends with all the bees :)

Promos: Hallowed isn't out yet but there's a tag for it on my art blog I suppose

~

Full images and descriptions under the cut!

THIS IS MY VERY FAVORITE BABY BOY So Wally is a sweet kid, but because his parents were world-famous, he never really got a choice in who they raised him to be. This resulted in him having a BUNCH of self-worth issues that he tries to deal with on the side because he doesn't want to get his friends involved. He has two (2) major points in the plot (OUT OF 40 CHAPTERS)- one plot point where he ignores the main antagonist to get a boyfriend instead, and one where his entire arc finally culminates in "Wally Learns How To Say No To People." Outside of that, he does NOTHING regarding the main plot and is a C plot character at best. He is simply involved and there in the background because I love him so much and he is my precious little baby boy and yeah sure maybe I loved him so much I made 27 alternate universe versions of him that all have plot relevance in all my stuff but *this* wally is simply a boy and he is blue and he is lovely and I would kill and cry for him every day

He's so much of just a guy I don't have anything else to say. He doesn't play a major part and I don't think he ever gets named. He's in the bg to be chill and fun. Luke is the only main character to recognize him as a Monster and immediately clocks him as not a threat cause one of his bees almost got stepped on (didn't die. Keyword here is almost) and he started crying honey cause he was so so scared. He's just a guy who loves his bees

✨✨✨✨✨ for anyone / everyone u please :>

[ ✨ ] what aesthetics or symbols do you reference when writing your muse? are these backed up by canon, if your muse comes from a canon? is there any specific relevance to these choices?

//Most of the time when I want to find something like that, I use keywords that relate to the character other than just typing the character's name in or I also type in something that reminds me of certain scenes that stand out to me with them. But music is like one of the major factors I get to look for symbols and aesthetics on my muses. Some are canon from where they're from and others I end up having in one of my playlists on spotify I tend to make for some lol. But I also just end up coming across certain musing posts that I'm like "ooh, that's definitely [muse], lemme reblog this!" So sometimes my muse for certain characters spikes and others do not. ^^;;

Kaede: music, piano, blonde hair, academic/academia, bisexuality, determination Chiaki: gaming, junk food, positivity, forgotten, pink hair, wish list Nene: fairytale, aquarium/fish, highlights, grunge/alternative, romance Rika: shrine, Japanese villages, otherworlds/space, blood, loneliness, friendship Glimmer: sparkles, girl power, purple and pink, biker style, kingdoms, galaxies Makoto: academics/school, tomboy, martial arts, punk style, freedom, police/law, afraid of paranormal

I hope this kinda answers the questions? ^^; I don't really have a specific system so it's kinda messy but I do enjoy whenever I get on the aesthetic train for some muses of mine.

Prompts I'd like to receive; headcanon edition

A comprehensive guide to getting the best out of your library card: free books!

okay, so you’ve been through your local library branch. You’ve read all their library books. Is there nothing left to read? NO! 

Step One: The first step to acquiring More Books is to check the library catalogue. Most libraries aren’t islands, they’re in a system with many other libraries. This can range to like three other libraries in a small city system to over thirty libraries in a multi-county system. These libraries will almost certainly ship you books from branch libraries to your home library. The best way to go about accessing these books is to google the library’s website. The catalogue should be somewhere large and obvious.

[ID <a picture of a library catalogue search bar, searching “charles, kj” by “author”> /END ID]

I’ve refined the search here by author, because I’m looking for a specific author rather using generic keywords. I hit search, and tah-dah!

[ID <the results of the search, showing 14 ebooks. The first two book titles are visible in the picture: Gilded Cage and Any Old Diamonds> /END ID]

I get 14 books in result! Unfortunately, it looks like this library system doesn’t have any physical copies of this author’s books. So we advance to Step Two of the More Books search. (if there had been physical copies, you would click a button labeled Place Hold or something similar and go through your library’s system to get them to send the book to your library.)

Step Two: if you’ve exhausted all the physical books in your library system or can’t find that specific book you’re looking for, the next place to look is your library’s ebook collections. These three sites are going to be specific to what I have access to, your library may vary.

Site one: Hoopla! Hoopla is an app, but it also works over internet browser. Hoopla has the same books no matter what library system you access it via. It also has music and movies, but it’s really mostly for ebooks, audiobooks, and comics. You read checked-out books over the hoopla app. The limit on Hoopla is you can borrow only a certain number of books per month. This depends on what you’re library has paid for. It could be three or it could be ten. Hoopla is very easy to set up, you just select your library system and enter your card barcode number, then set up a password.

[ID <a picture of search results for “k j charles” in Hoopla, which got 24 results. The first four books are visible: audiobooks for Slippery Creatures and The Sugared Game, plus ebooks of Unfit to Print and Slippery Creatures> /END ID]

tah-dah! here’s my search again on Hoopla. This gives me access to 24 more books. If I wanted the book, I’d click on the title and click “borrow.” If this was over the app on a tablet like a civilized person, it would look slightly different, but the mechanism would be the same. 

site two: Overdrive. Overdrive is another book app. It does only books, audiobooks, and a very limited range of comics. The books you can access will be specific to your library-- the library will buy the title to certain ebooks and you can only get those. How many books the collection has will vary wildly depending on your library’s funding. The limitation on Overdrive is that your library only has a certain number of “copies,” and if someone’s already got the only copy, you have to wait until they’ve finished it. 

[ID <search results for “KJ Charles” in the Overdrive app with 5 results. The screen shows the first four results: Gilded Cage, Any Old Diamonds, Band Sinister, and A Fashionable Indulgence.> /END ID]

okay, here I’ve run the search in the overdrive app. This gets me five results. as you can see, someone’s checked out the last title, so if I wanted it I’d have to go on the waitlist. Overdrive books are usually epubs that y ou can read on the app, but occasionally the only format available will be a kindle book for some reason and you’ll have to download to that app. 

site three: Enki. Enki is very specific to what I have access to, I think it’s only for a limited local geographic area. But! I am adding it just in case, I have no idea what you personally have access to. Enki specifically does obscure ebooks and random self-published stuff. This is the site to check when you can’t find the book anywhere else. The collection is fairly limited. It works the same way as Overdrive: there are a limited number of “copies” and if someone’s checked it out you have to wait. However, Enki has the same book collection no matter what library you access it through. Enki has a particularly ornery search function.

[ID <a screenshot of a search by author for “milan, courtney” with 19 results. The first two titles are showing: Duchess War and Unraveled> /END ID]

here I’ve been forced to abandon my trusty KJ Charles search since there aren’t any of her books on this site. I’m not going to show screenshots, because this is likely to be relevant to very few people. But the one important thing to remember when using Enki is when you checkout the ebook, DO NOT read in web browser. This is an absolute nightmare to use. Click “download” then “open” on the little popup and you should be able to read the book on any app you have that reads ebooks. I read mine on the Overdrive app. 

step 4: this is the nuclear option. its power is without bounds. its name is inter-inter-library loan. Unfortunately, you might not have access to it with your local library. My version is LINK+. It will send me books from a huge number of university and large public libraries across three states.

[ID <a screenshot of a search in LINK+ for “charles, kj” with 11 results. Only one title is visible, Slippery Creatures> /END ID]

it only does physical books, and I would not recommend using it if you are at all likely to turn the book in late or lose it, since they charge colossal fees ($75 plus for missing books). But this is an incredibly useful tool. Since I got access to it, I’ve gotten to read books that I wasn’t able to access in any other form. If it’s a physical book, this system will almost certainly have it.

step 5: the only real option left for More Books is getting other library cards. Would highly recommend this tactic though-- it’s very useful for both ebook apps, so you can get extra books per month/have access to better collections. Most libraries will give you a card if you have a physical address. Do you have accommodating friends/relatives who live in another area? When you visit, apply for a library card using their address!

step 6: sorry, that’s all I’ve got for free books. You’re going to have to buy the book. Try local indie bookstores, it’s always nice to support them.

general notes:

if you have technical issues with any of these things, go to your local library. Their job is to help you with this stuff, and most librarians love to be asked! They can set you up with any of the apps or help you order specific books.

 Don’t worry about returns with ebook apps, it happens automatically.

 I know that there are apps that help you search these ebook apps (such as Libby), but I don’t use them, so I’ve highlighted the individual apps here.

and about my example searches here: both KJ Charles and Courtney Milan are awesome. Go read their books!

and to any reblogs: please don’t add on names of pirate sites, okay? no book pirating is the hill I will die on, and this post is specifically for supporting your local libraries and novel authors.

#whew that was a #long post #libraries #free books #but I have been posting a lot of stuff lately about Supporting Libraries #and I thought I had better #put my money where my mouth was #as it were #also Free Library Books #(and the acquisition thereof) #is one of my particular passions

do you have any tips for beginners here on tumblr? how to start with posting and making gifs to make them be noticed? 😅 for how long you've been on tumblr? did it take long to become a bigger blog?

ah first of all welcome to the community!! ❤️ I've been on tumblr for a couple years now, maybe 5.. -ish, something like that. but i also switched my blogs twice, and on this one i've been since 2018 i guess but also pls why does everyone think i'm a big blog 😭 i kinda dislike these labels lajsksksl please don't focus on whether you're a beginner and don't compare yourself to those who have been here for longer than you, please! you have to take it easy and just find your joy and peace, that's the most important and that's my first advice haha but aside of that i can recommend you to follow some uptade blogs like @bangtan or @bts-trans so you can keep up with the content, now about making gifs please check out this tag of my lovely friend where you can find tutorials and stuff, next you could tag your works with tracking tags so people could help with reblogging your content, you can also find it in this post. some of us are also parts of networks that were more popular back in the days but now they're not really active do i wouldn't recommend joining anymore, but you can also tag your works with @btsgif 's tag, so they'll reblog your stuff, and about tagging system remember to use most relevant keywords, that's really important, with no necessary tags (you can look at how i do it for example). i think that's basically it!! 😁 i hope it helps a little, you can always ask me if you need anything else! ❤️

google searching: a step-by-step guide (with examples)

hey guys, admin rumu here~ we’ve already provided a fairly straightforward guide to google searching in our tips, but it seems some people are still having some issues. if you needed something a little more in-depth or if you were just curious about the process, this is for you! this will be very lengthy as i will be going through every step with different asks. i will not be addressing searching with google cache but if you’d like to see how that's done, dawn has already explained it in this post.

our searches are based on what you send us. if you’re looking for a fic but are confused about what terms to use in your search, write an ask like you’re going to send it to us (but don’t actually send it yet). i’ll be showing you how asks get turned into google searches using some of the asks we’ve previously received, so try this with your own!

general rules (these apply to all examples except example 1)

1. as you might have seen in the google section of the tips, there are some keywords that every search should have:

-the pairing (namjoon/seokjin/yoongi/jimin/taehyung/jungkook) (if you don’t remember the pairing, use the generic ‘bts’) -the platform (tumblr/ao3/etc.) (*if you don’t know where you read it, do not include this) *IF YOU READ THE FIC ON AO3, YOU MAY NOT FIND IT ON GOOGLE. you can (and should) still try, but google gets weird searching for ao3 fics. you might have better luck using ao3′s fic searching system first.

2. USE QUOTES IN APPROPRIATE SITUATIONS. quotes are only useful if used correctly, but they can make a HUGE difference. conversely, use them incorrectly and your search will not work.

3. make sure to actually read through your search results! don’t just assume it’s not what you’re looking for. if it looks like it could be a potential match, click on it and find out.

now let’s take a look at some examples:

*example 1: looking for a specific blog

we already have a tutorial on how to find lost blogs (you can find the link for that in the tips) but maybe you still can’t find it. thinking about asking us? try tumblr search/tags first, then google, then check our lost blogs list (link also in the tips), THEN ask us.

for these asks, you would search the blog name in quotes followed by ‘tumblr’ (e.g. “mintedmango” tumblr or “bluesxde” tumblr)

example 2: you remember...something (it’s extremely vague)

maybe you sent an ask without reading our tips (specifically the part showing how to write an ask for the best results), or maybe you did read them and unfortunately this is really all you remember. we hate to say this, but if you send us an ask like this your chances are slim to none.

the fic relevant parts are highlighted. based off of that, you would know the following: pairing: seokjin/reader fic type: one shot au: best friend

as you can see, there is little to no information here. even if we’ve read the fic they’re looking for, we probably wouldn’t have any idea what you’re talking about. in these situations, we probably would not make any suggestions because there are far too many to list. if you don’t send us more details, then there’s nothing we can do :(

example 3: you remember the title

depending on how unique the title is and how accurate your memory is, this should be fairly easy.

the fic relevant parts are highlighted. based off of that, you would know the following: title: somebody else pairing: taehyung/reader writer: aiscka

unless you misremembered the title or the title is an extremely common word/phrase, you should be able to find the fic simply by using quotation marks. if the title is a common word/phrase it would help to include other details in your search, but if the title is unique enough you probably wouldn’t need it. for this example, you could search: “somebody else” taehyung bts fanfic tumblr and you would be able to find this:

this is one of the top results but maybe you don’t feel like clicking through all the potential options to find the right one. the anon knew the author is this case, so they could also find the fic by searching: “somebody else” aiscka taehyung bts fanfic tumblr which would allow them to find a reblog from the writer’s previous name.

having more details will narrow your search down and make it faster for you to find what you’re looking for.

example 4: you remember the plot and specific/unique keywords (best case scenario)

the more details we have, the better chances we have of finding it. we are not exaggerating when we say we want you to send us EVERYTHING YOU REMEMBER. think we can find it even without all that? or perhaps you aren’t sure if it’ll help? maybe so but it doesn’t matter, we want it anyway!

the fic relevant parts are highlighted. based off of that, you would know the following: pairing: namjoon/reader au: aquarium, veterinarian/doctor, single parent, twins plot: reader meets namjoon and his sons at the aquarium while working

more specific details = more search options but this is enough for us to work with because these details have unique keywords (note: we would still prefer you give us more details than we need than not enough. PLEASE SEND US EVERYTHING YOU REMEMBER). my first search for this would be: namjoon reader tumblr fanfic "aquarium" i can immediately find:

i’ll still skim through the fic to double check, but just based off this i can already tell this is probably what we’re looking for! some other searches we could have tried are: namjoon reader tumblr fanfic "aquarium" vet namjoon reader tumblr fanfic veterinarian “twins” namjoon reader tumblr fanfic single father veterinarian all of these would find the fic we want, and i’m sure you could try other combinations as well. notice that some words have quotes around them and some don’t. how do you know which ones to use quotes for? if you are SURE that those are the exact word/words, put them in quotes. if you don’t know for sure how it was phrased, consider trying searches with and without quotes. ‘single father’ with quotes will only search for ‘single father’. ‘single father’ without quotes will give you results for ‘single dad’, ‘single parent’, ‘single fathers’, etc. in this example, you can see that the correct phrase was ‘single dad’, so not using quotes was the right idea!

example 5: you remember the plot and a name

searching for names is tricky. keep in mind that names must be exact. if you get the spelling wrong, a name will be useless as a keyword and will probably ruin your search.

the fic relevant parts are highlighted. based off of that, you would know the following: pairing: taehyung/reader au: best friend, fuckboy(?) plot: reader is best friends with taehyung, taehyung is blowing reader off for his girlfriend named vicktoria

there are a couple of issues with searching for this: -there is no universal spelling for fuckboy/fuckboi/fuqboii/etc. we all know they mean the same thing, but people can spell it however they want. unfortunately, google doesn’t know how to handle that. it’s also possible that the fic was not tagged with fuckboy, but there was fuckboy behavior present. either way, very difficult to google. -plot events can be hard to search for since it could happen over the span of multiple chapters and/or be explained different ways and google doesn’t know how to search for that either. plot points are useful for fic verifying, but not so much for fic searching. -the aus for this fic are very common. if not for one keyword, this would have been near impossible to search for and to verify. 

you could probably guess what the initial search would be: taehyung “vicktoria” bts fanfic tumblr from that you would get:

based on the description, this search result is worth checking out. note that if they had remembered the name as ‘victoria’ or ‘something starting with a v’, this probably would not have worked.

example 6: you vaguely remember the premise, but nothing in detail

unfortunately there isn’t much you can do without specifics. there are TONS of fics out there and we simply cannot find what you’re looking for if there isn’t enough detail. we will try our best, but just know that you should not expect much.

the fic relevant parts are highlighted. based off of that, you would know the following: pairing: taehyung/reader/? fic type: multiple chapters au: yandere plot: reader is in some kind of danger and is saved by taehyung

not very specific, which is why we ask that people try to be as detailed as possible! this ask is pretty vague and it’s difficult to search for a fic without concrete details. ‘yandere’ is a pretty unique keyword so you might want to put it in quotes (some yandere fics aren’t tagged as yandere, but i’m going to assume it was in this case). NOTE: each exact term/phrase should get its own quotes. for example, it would be “taehyung” “yandere”, not “taehyung yandere” so from there you could have: tumblr taehyung “yandere” reader fanfic this search is still extremely broad so there will be a lot of irrelevant results. if you have the patience to check all the pages on google you can, but it would definitely take a while and you might not even find it. too many terms could confuse your search but less terms means more to look through. unfortunately everything from here would be guesswork. if it’s not in quotes, google will include results that are a match for synonyms and/or different tenses. let’s say my search is: tumblr taehyung “yandere” reader fanfic die rescued you can tell i’ve chosen those words based off of the plot detail. from the term ‘rescued’, google could give me results for ‘saved’ (synonym) or ‘rescue’ (word tense variation). click through the google pages and scan through your results. if the google summaries seem like they could be a match, check it out. if not, try a different search. from that search, i found:

it seems like a potential match since it’s a yandere taehyung fic involving another member, so i skim through the fic and check the details (reader is involved in a life or death situation and is saved by taehyung, fic is not a oneshot).  this fic is only a suggestion as it’s possible this isn’t the right fic. from there we would ask for confirmation/denial, and unfortunately a lot of fics get left as pending. if your fic is pending, PLEASE let us know if it’s correct or not!

*edit: this fic was not the fic the anon was looking for, but we’ve received a potential fic suggestion from another anon. if this was your ask, please check back in!

example 7: you remember the plot and details, but you don’t remember the pairing

this might be tough since the pairing really helps narrow the search results down, but it’s not a deal breaker if you have enough unique keywords.

the fic relevant parts are highlighted. based off of that, you would know the following: pairing: jungkook/?(taehyung/hoseok/jimin) platform: ao3 au/genre: soulmate (red string), demons(?) plot: jungkook can manipulate his string, jungkook cuts his string, jin and namjoon are in a relationship, jungkook gets sick at jin and namjoon’s house, alex(?) is a demon(?), jungkook gets tricked by alex(?)

lots of information so lots of potential searches, but unfortunately a lot of unsurety. the concrete words here are going to be ‘jungkook’, ‘soulmate’, and ‘red string’, but everything else is up in the air. it’s even more complicated because it’s an ao3 fic and like i said before, google gets weird with ao3. 

my first search for this would be: jungkook fanfic “soulmate” “red string” “alex” note that i did not include the other half of the pairing in my search terms. if you want to take a guess for the pairing you can (i would have guessed taehyung because taekook is the most popular pairing for jungkook on ao3), but it’s best not to take too many leaps in logic from the very start. i usually save that for the end when i’m just trying my luck with different searches. i also chose not to include the platform in this search in case it was crossposted and could be found elsewhere. the initial search does not provide any promising results. after that i might try searches like: jungkook fanfic “soulmate” “red string” “manipulate” jungkook fanfic “soulmate” “red string” “alex” jungkook fanfic “red string” manipulate sick jungkook fanfic “red string” “soulmate” demon but unfortunately the fic doesn’t turn up for these either. now we’ve got to start guessing. i won’t lie, this is pretty difficult. i typically try to think about how the fic might be written/consider the most obvious or common way for them to say something and make guesses from that. i might try something like: jungkook fanfic “soulmate” “won this round” that doesn’t work, so i try: jungkook fanfic "cut his string" "soulmate" from that i get this:

looks like it could be the fic, so i skim through it for the details in the description and it is! obviously this will not always work, but sometimes you’ll get lucky.

example 8: you remember a quote (word for word)

the success of finding a fic based on a quote is dependent on how accurately you remember it. if the quote is unique to the story and you know the exact wording, you have a very high chance of being able to find it!  *if you DO NOT know an EXACT quote, this probably will not help. i would advise searching using your other details instead of a partial quote because misremembering even a few words will ruin a quote search.

the fic relevant parts are highlighted. based off of that, you would know the following: pairing: jungkook/reader au/genre: college, f2l plot: jungkook asks reader for a pencil, reader remembers him from high school, jungkook remembers reader from kindergarten, reader defended jungkook when he was bullied for his knockoff ninja turtle shirt

lots of information here, but what stands out is the quotes! it’s SO specific that it would be surprising if other fics had them. assuming you didn’t misremember the phrasing, you 100% want to use quotation marks for this. my first google search would be: jungkook “it’s morphine time” bts fanfic tumblr

as we thought, there it is! alternatively you could have used the other quote (the search would have been jungkook “it’s morphin time” bts fanfic tumblr) and found it as well.

example 9: you remember lots of plot but no unique keywords

this kind of ask probably won’t be found through google searching (or if it is, there is a LOT of guesswork involved). hopefully the community remembers it or one of the admins will read it somewhere and recognize it (i’m always on the lookout for old asks!), but unfortunately google isn’t your friend this time.

the fic relevant parts are highlighted. based off of that, you would know the following: pairing: jungkook/reader au: established relationship, cheating plot: reader is dating taehyung or jimin, jungkook is dating someone, reader goes to taehyung/jimin’s apartment to give them food and sees jungkook in the hallway, jungkook’s girlfriend is in taehyung/jimin’s apartment, jungkook and reader sit outside and eat the food that was supposed to be for taehyung/jimin and jungkook’s girlfriend, taehyung/jimin and jungkook’s gf leave the apartment and see jungkook and reader together, taehyung/jimin is pushed back by jungkook

this is a very specific plot, but unfortunately there’s nothing concrete we can search for. these google searches would be all guessing, so i’ve tried variations such as: jungkook reader tumblr fanfic cheating "hallway" eating food jungkook reader tumblr fanfic "his girlfriend" eating food cheating    jungkook reader tumblr fanfic "eating" "apartment" pushed and a lot of others, but none of those worked (as expected).

we’re still looking for this one so if anyone knows this fic or has other information please let us know!

//

JUST A REMINDER: please try all your search options BEFORE sending us an ask! i would recommend trying google first, then our tags, then the search bar for our blog, and if all of those don’t work, THEN try us.

if you send us an ask, PLEASE GIVE US ALL THE DETAILS. it doesn’t matter if it’s super long or you think the detail might not help, the more the better. maybe we might end up not needing everything you sent, but it increases your chances of the fic being found and helps us confirm what you’re looking for. so assuming you really want to reread it, tell us everything you know! if you aren’t sure what to write, you can check the ‘be detailed’ section of the tips for the best way to write an ask.

hopefully this cleared up some things about googling :)

[dumbassscout]

i see a lot of 13 yr olds on tumblr these days, so id like to share some advice i wish i had known using tumblr at age 13.

this is also probably not an original idea from me lol, someone has got to have done this before. i would usually put this under a cut but ive decided not to for now

be aware that this site is like NOTORIOUSLY harmful. you may think you’re above it or too mature for it to hurt you, but trust me, you aren’t. since you will probably not be stopped by that warning, maybe take some precautions/keep some stuff in mind to stay safe.

i had tumblr savior for my first experiences with the site. im pretty sure it still works and it’s regularly updated, so take a look into that. it blocks posts with certain keywords from being seen on your radar, and can also push/allow posts with other keywords to always be shown. i would advise getting it or a similar extension to custom block triggering/harmful content.

don’t put other/more popular users in your fandom/community on a pedestal. they’re people behind a blog, just like you are. don’t feel intimidated by the people in your own community, they are just people the same way you are a person. they can mess up at times, and so can you.

making friends is a great thing on this site, but keep an eye on new online friends’ behaviors. it is exciting to meet new people, but you want to be aware of toxic friends. same goes for your mutuals. overall, keep people on this site at an arm’s length until you’ve gotten to know them enough personally to know that they’re genuine people. as you get older you can relax on this, but as a young teen it’s better to be hyperaware than to be blissfully ignorant as you get hurt.

onto more broad things, your theme doesn’t have to be perfect. you dont have to make a custom html/edited html website theme for your blog, you can leave it as tumblr default. if you enjoy organizing that, then by all means go ahead! but don’t feel like it is necessary for your blog, most of the time you will get a new theme set up and check on it on a month and find that it actually looks terrible to you. if you’d rather just have it as a basic/default site, then that is perfectly normal.

your blog’s theme/topic is your choice, and can be uniquely you. some people have many blogs for many things, just a few, or just one with everything. it is up to you how you want to do it! the themes you choose, topics, are up to you. fads and trends are cool but finding what works for you personally is way more fun. your blog is supposed to be fun. you are supposed to enjoy using tumblr. don’t compromise that for a trend. make your blog(s) however you want, however it pleases you. it can feel pressuring to have a perfect blog, but it’s better to just make your appearance the way it would make you happy.

also, tag systems are awesome! but they are not necessary unless you’re tagging trigger warnings. always tag those! but i know a lot of people have personal tagging systems to organize their blog, which is totally cool! but again, personal tag systems are not necessary, and if they feel unnecessary to you, don’t use them. but again, tag triggering content, especially if you are asked to.

archiving/deleting/creating new blogs is a whole other process. some people like to start with a clean slate every time they switch to a new fandom, and let their old user be archived or deleted. this is perfectly respectable (and probably the right thing to do) personally, i just switch my blog over to whatever im feeling that month and people can unfollow if they no longer enjoy my blog (i dont have that big of a following on this blog). it’s really a personal decision, and if you want to restart your blog you will know when to/if you want to.

reblog art, but never “repost” it. aka dont take the image and post it on your own blog, just reblog it from the original poster. its common sense but not everyone knows? idk

if you end up having some or many followers, make sure to check yourself. appreciate your followers, respect them. they are people with blogs. just like you. don’t let a high number inflate your ego way out of proportion, it’s easy to fall into that sense of power.

respect people’s pronouns. even if you for some reason have a disagreement with them, or you don’t understand why/how their identity works, just use the correct pronouns that they ask you to. it costs you zero dollars and zero cents, and is incredibly respectful

as a young teen, don’t get involved/let yourself get buried in tumblr-wide discourse. examples of this include the bi vs pan debate, flag discourse etc. most ppl who i know who were attentive to things similar to that at a young age ended up being affected negatively by it. pay some attention to what pertains to you and also pay attention to what you can identify as right or wrong, but don’t let people’s opinions on your dash influence you in times of discourse. go and look at both sides of those kinds of debates if you’re interested, and form an opinion from there.

speaking of which, sometimes people will just post their takes on literally anything and youll come across it. take everything with a grain of salt unless there is links to proof (if applicable, not always needed). sometimes bad takes just havent had someone to reblog and disprove yet.

speaking of discourse, there is always discourse on this site in every fandom, every community. form your own opinions always, but keep your moral compass in mind. don’t compromise your morals and sense of right and wrong to enjoy certain fan-media. if something seems off, it probably is.

people make mistakes, and if someone did something kind of shitty/had a terrible take/belief (not irredemably shitty, those ppl do not need ur attention) and they genuinely apologize for the shit they did and learn from it, move on. leave some shit in the past, holding grudges isnt good for your mental health and people change. but again, always take things with a grain of salt.

you dont need a high follower count to get traction on your posts. it might help, but you can have a low follower count with high interaction or a high follower count with little to know interaction. the best advice i have is to tag what it is relevant to, whether it’s a fandom, aesthetic, etc and people who regularly check those tags will find it.

if you ever get anon hate for some reason, just delete it from ur inbox n move on. ppl who send anon hate want to see you post it and respond to it. if they said some really really MEAN shit though, it may be best to talk to a friend about it for comfort, or take a break from tumblr for a hot min. most importantly, report it, close your ask box/change it to no anonymous asks.

if at some point you choose to voice your opinion about a highly debated topic at the time, be aware that people who disagree might attack you for it. be aware, and be safe about it.

a lot of people swear by xkit. i have never used it in my life, but from the looks of it, it makes using tumblr so much more bearable. it breaks sometimes with tumblr updates, but apparently it’s worth it. again, look into it, but it’s not necessary to use the site.

do niche shit. start sideblogs without a plan in mind. make aus, make art, make writing, or make nothing at all. reblog the things you love wherever you want them to be reblogged. comment on people’s creations if you love them, they probably would love to hear how much you enjoyed it. appreciate how wonderful the better part of this site is, enjoy the free access to view and appreciate others’ creations and ideas.

i would put a lot more on here, but i feel like 20 is probably too much already. if anyone has anything to add, definitely rb with ur addition

overall, do the things you love on here, keep yourself safe, and be respectful of others.

#i dont shut up

[killian-whump]

Could you do more or direct me to some of your fanfics where Killian Jones is being tortured and beaten? And if at possible is there any one that has him being gagged and bound and beaten too?

Hellooooooooooooooo Nonny! :)

So lemme say right away that you seem like a lovely Nonny who has exceptionally good taste. Bondage, gags, beatings and torture? THAT’S MY JAM, TOO!!! :D

Also, I got your other ask the other day, and I was gonna answer it (promise!), but didn’t get around to it yet (sorry!). But since it’s kinda sorta the same thing, I’ll just answer ya here! But you did mention wanting some non-con in that ask, so I’ll assume you’re still kinda into that ;) Again, I must commend you on your whumpy tastes! :D

However! Since you have such good tastes, Nonny, and you like such fine things… I find myself at a loss of what specifically to suggest, because I FUCKING LOVE EVERYTHING TO DO WITH ANYTHING TO DO WITH ALL OF THOSE THINGS KDJGAHLKJFSHDLFJKAHFSJKDFSDA

And you should totally read ALL of the things, like ALL OF THEM EVER, because they’re ALL SO GOOD and I don’t want you to miss ANY of them!!! Also, I don’t have any super secret fics hidden up my sleeves or anything - everything I’ve read, if it’s whumpy, it gets reblogged/recced here :D So it’s all already here… it’s just a matter of finding it.

Now, I run a very organized blog here, with an extensive list of whumpy tags available for your perusal… but that’s not really the best way to find fics. Say you’re in the mood for gagged Killian fics; if you click on the “gagged” tag, you’re going to get a lot of gifs and screencaps and fanart of Killian gagged, along with some chitchat and whumpy musings about gags, mixed in with all the relevant fanfics. That’s not very efficient (although it is enjoyable when you’re just in the mood for a smorgasbord of different gagged delights XD).

ANYWAY!!! On Tumblr, you can do a search that will bring up ALL the posts on a certain blog (like, say, mine ;)) that have certain words in them. And you can combine a few keywords into one search. And that, combined with my extensive tagging, will probably find you a whole lot of exactly what you’re looking for whenever you want it.

All you gotta do is type in “http://killian-whump.tumblr.com/search/fanfic+tied” into the address field of your browser and… BOOM! It’s a bunch of fanfics where Killian’s tied up! :D And you can replace the word “tied” in that address with almost any other word I use in a tag - and it’ll work! You can also ADD some words, just throw a + between ‘em. Be as vague or as specific as you want, just so long as you use words that I use in my tags. Want fics with Detective Rogers and handcuffs? I’ve got three of ‘em, apparently! XD This also works for gifs or caps or videos or fanart or whatever else you’re looking for. ALL of the actual content I reblog is always tagged with the character/role it’s from, the kind of content it is, and the whump keywords that apply to it.

Now, unfortunately, it seems like this doesn’t work for gagged fanfics. I’m gonna blame Tumblr for that one, because when you search for “gagged” on my blog, ONLY the posts with the word in the text of the post itself come up - and NONE of the posts tagged with the word show up. It must be a word Tumblr made unsearchable during their recent puritanical censorship spree :P Clicking on the tag itself still works, but I’ll probably change it to something that isn’t search-blocked eventually. If anybody finds any other tags that are “broken” like that, please let me know! I’ll try to come up with some new keywords to switch ‘em to so you guys can search ‘em.

Happy hunting! (and beating and tying up and nonconning XD)

[headlesssamurai]

@staff : I just wanted to check and see, for reasons of clarity, are you insufferable mouthbreathing neanderthals capable of grasping the concept that people like me, from the moment we first joined this site, have never engaged in the trading of pornographic material of any kind? I’ve just reviewed three newly flagged posts of supposedly adult content pegged by your lobotomized detection algorithm. All three of them were either 3D art or art from comic books. I guess one of the comic book art pieces did feature female cleavage, but none of these things were pornographic. Meanwhile, I’ve had regularly, daily Follows from porn-bots, chats from chat-bots, and none of this has slowed down since your attempt at reforming your site. In fact, it’s now nigh impossible for me to search for anything through your onsite search function because your algorithm somehow prevents most relevant search data from appearing anymore. And this is to say basic things like keywords of “filmmaking” or “arcade”. I’ll get, like, fifteen results and nothing else. Most of the relevant artistic content which interests me seems to be locked behind some invisible wall of “Possibly Adult” even if the posts themselves are reblog-able and not flagged as adult. A sort of “shadow flagging” seems to be occurring, where certain blogs and posts aren’t flagged, just hidden by your algorithm especially in searches. And I know more posts exist. I’ve reverted to google searching, for instance, “arcade photo tumblr” which in the Images tab will bring up tons of content from tumblr blogs which does not appear in your ridiculously limited search function. I can then, from Google, visit these tumblr blogs and from there reblog the content I find interesting. Do you understand what I’m telling you? I’m using your site less, because its functions have been demented and diminished, so that I can keep using your site in the same--very non-pornographic--way I’ve always used it. The interesting thing is the press and media statements I’ve read from your official faces seem to claim some form of revamping your functionality, whereas I can affirm it’s been shorn down to nub of its former utility. In fact, this post I’m writing right now, my very blog may be “shadow flagged” from searches now just for using the word pornography. I’m certain the context matters little to your poorly coded algorithms. Please understand, with absolute certainty and no pretense, your clumsy attempt at cloistered oaths of sanctimonious virtue has done nothing to improve the experience of your loyal user base, and also done nothing to quell the storm of pornbots and spam accounts. I stayed when you decided to savagely kick a fourth of your user base into a well while bellowing “This is tumblr!” at the top of your lungs. I stayed because my blog and themes aren’t pornographic. I will continue to stay. I just wanted you to know, in the improbable case that this is read by one of the ten humans you still employ to maintain this site and not some algorithm they coded in a heroine snorting haze, that you’ve irritated me and I believe your recent remodeling decisions and ideological change to be in most egregious error. Pornbots still have free reign, yet you’re flagging my comic book cleavage. I don’t want to call you the prude Catholic grandma of the internet, but...

[dramioneasks]

So you’re new to DramioneAsks?

Firstly, hi! Welcome! *waves*

Secondly, we are a group of dramione obsessed fan-ladies who use our free time to help other dramione obsessed fan-people find fics they’ve seemed to forgot, get fic recommendations, and rec their own suggestions. (This blog was not started by us, but by an amazing lady named Mandy who has generously left us in charge of things.)

As mentioned above, we take care of this blog on our free time. We all have lives and jobs and school and kids etc, so we don’t always be online all day. We cannot get to the asks within a day or sometimes within a few days. So we always ask that if you send in an ask, please wait until the end of the week to see if we have answered it before re-sending in your question. (Tumblr sometimes like to eat questions, so there will be times when we just never receive any asks from you.) We close on the weekend to give ourselves a little break, and give us a chance to answer all the asks we couldn’t get to during the week. This information can be found on our sidebar.

We close on Friday around 9-11 pm EST; and reopen on Sunday around 11 pm EST. (We do not accept any questions via fanmail on the weekend.) Come Monday morning, if you do not see your ask, that means we never received it, Tumblr ate it, and you can resend it again. We have a search bar, and we always tag tumblr users’ names on posts. So you can either scroll through the previous posts, or use the search bar to find your ask. Because sometimes we may have answered your question, but you just missed it. It happens.

So as you know Tumblr has three options for asking questions to a blog. We prefer that you always use the ask option when you need help finding fics, or want fic recommendations. Use the submission option to recommend a fic or if your fic search exceeds the ask’s word limit. And use the fanmail to send us, well, fan mail.

When sending in an ask, please only inquire about one fic or one request. If you have another fic you need help finding or another request you need fulfilled, send in another ask for that one. We have an extensive tagging system, so when an ask is answered, we tag it appropriately so that in the future anyone looking under a particular tag will see your post with a relevant fic for them to read and enjoy. We also ask that if you have a request for similar fics to another fic, you tell us what exactly you liked about the original fic and what you want to read more of. This way we will be better able to give you suggestions if we know what you are looking for, because as you know all fics have multiple tropes/themes. We don’t want to assume anything. You can also use the ask option to help us with the asks we didn’t know the answers too. The best way to do this is to send us the unique ID in the URL of the original post, along with the name of the fic. Each post, has its own unique URL. So by including that ID number in your ask, it’ll make things so much easier for us to find and update that post.

Our tags, as mentioned above, are our pride and joy! We take our time to carefully add tags to each post, and to update the various lists we’ve made. The tags can be found at the top of the page.

When you click on that, you get to our various lists. We have organized the tags to make things easier for everyone who uses it.

If you cannot find the specific tag you are looking for, we also have a Tag Cloud which collects all the tags we use on the blog. Unfortunately, the specific one we use only collects a certain amount, and only shows the most recently used tags. 

For some unknown reason, our links at the top of the page do not work in the Tumblr app. So to combat that, you can load our page on your phone’s web browser or use the search feature in the app.

We ask that if you are looking for a specific type of fic to read, (a specific trope, or a certain character trait, a fic with one character being heavily featured, or a fic with a special side pairing), before you come to us, check out our tags and see if we already have that listed. If we do, click on it and you will see many recommendations for you to enjoy.

You can also use our search bar to find what you want if you don’t want to go through the tags. But the search bar gives you a broader search, so if you type in a keyword, instead of posts tagged with that word popping up, every single post with the word will pop up regardless of whether it was tagged as such.

We have two sister blogs; @dramioneficindex and @dramionediscussion. Both are run by some of the admin here. So from time to time, you will see posts here about those blogs. 

We also look through the #dramione tag here on Tumblr where we reblog fic information from authors who post those types of things. Or sometimes authors come to us to tell us updates on their fics. Other than that we do not have any sort of relationship with any author, so we don’t have any insider scoop nor do have any contact with authors. We do not know what happens when an author deletes their fics, or why they leave the fandom. Your guess is as good as ours. 

We also no longer share downloadable copies of deleted fics. So if you are looking for a copy of a fic, you may want to check elsewhere.

On the right top of our page you will see various tabs. 

Under Fic Lists, we have a list of the most popular tropes and many fic recommendations, as chosen by our followers. Under FAQ, we have our frequently asked questions. And under the Fests tab, we have a list of all the Harry Potter fests to have ever featured dramione fics, and of course we list those fics for you to read.

Annnnnnnd that’s about it! If you want anymore information about us check out our about us page and our blog features page. There you will be able to find out about some other cool stuff we try to integrate on our blog from time to time. If you are interested in us, the admins, you can find links to our personal pages under the about us link.

We are glad that you have chosen to follow us and we hope you enjoy the ride! :D

- Lisa

Stats

At the time of publishing, Suzie Speaks has received over 1,200,000 views. Here are my readership stats:

WordPress: 11,000 +

Twitter: 8,900

Facebook: 800 +

Pinterest: 10,300 +

Of all of the blogging regrets that I have, my lack of knowledge when developing my blog and hesitation when setting up my social media accounts are the biggest. Why?

My social media is now responsible for HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of referrals of my total views.

The problem with social media is that (during the initial set-up months in particular) it can incredibly time consuming, even when using schedulers. Posting a blog post now doesn’t just involve pressing the publish button – I think about keywords and SEO, create a pinnable image for Pinterest and then pin it, tweet it using specific hashtags, share it on Flipboard and then share it again into specific Facebook groups. How, when and where I share it will depend on the specific day and time so that they get the maximum audience.

And that’s just the beginning. I have created interesting Pinterest boards that fit within the themes that I cover, along with a successful group board, and participate in link-ups (even starting my own which is now the biggest blog sharing hashtag on Twitter at the weekends) and various Twitter chats. I share high quality pins and tweet interesting posts from others. I follow a daily checklist to make sure that I don’t forget anything.

Sound exhausting? Don’t even know where to start? Don’t have the time?

What if someone could do that FOR YOU?

Here’s what just some of my clients had to say about my advertising and social media management services…

If you’re an author or blogger who wants to grow their stats, if you’re busy and struggling to manage your social media, or perhaps you just want to focus on something else, then Suzie’s your gal. There are few people I’ve met online that are as shrewd, talented and social media savvy as Suzie. In my first month I saw my follower growth (per month) quadruple compared to my efforts the previous month, and my referrals from Pinterest saw a 90% increase on the previous month.  As far as I’m concerned Suzie takes growth hacking to the next level. But one of the things I love most about working with her, is that I don’t have to do a thing. I sit back, concentrate on writing and she takes care of Twitter and Pinterest. I genuinely cannot recommend working with Suzie more … Sacha Black

As an independent author, having a presence online is vital. I’ve learned that by employing the services of Suzie Speaks I have been able to market my site, attract a wider audience and sell more books without spending hours campaigning. Shelley Wilson, Motivate Me Now

She is very skilled at what she does and has helped me significantly grow both my Twitter and Pinterest followers. Because of her efforts, 50% of my blog views now come from Pinterest vs 0 when I started working with her – Ana, Project Life Wellness

My Pinterest views went from 104 page views to 1263… Suzie has given me great ideas to implement for both platforms and is in touch with the current news of social media – Tiffany, A Girl and Her Passport

I have used Suzie’s services to help widen the reach of my blog, Love, Laughter & Truth. I have been very pleased with the response to Suzie’s work and she really does have so much expertise around blogging and using social media to reach a wider audience. Just as importantly Suzie is an absolute pleasure to work with – friendly, professional and gets the job done efficiently and effectively. I couldn’t recommend her services highly enough. Thank you, Suzie! – Matt – Love, Laughter and Truth

My followers on Pinterest have gone from 3 to 3200 and I receive hundreds of views a month which is pretty amazing, plus I’ve met some great new bloggers, which has been a nice bonus – Helen, Journey to Ambeth

I was a new-ish blogger and rebranding my blog when I started working with Suzie. It was invaluable to have an experienced blogger available to help me through the complicated process. Suzie helped ensure all my social media branding was consistent and patiently answered my endless questions. She helped me get started on Canva, work more effectively on Pinterest and showed me the value (and enjoyment) of interacting with other bloggers through Facebook Groups and Twitter chats. A month or so after working with Suzie my stats had trebled – so I was well chuffed! I’d recommend working with Suzie to any blogger out there looking for some help in getting their blog up and running or revamped. In my book, she’s a star! Jill – Midlife Smarts

Suzie has managed areas of my social media for a while now and is extremely dependable in her support and guidance. Her organisation and management has enabled my blog to be a constant presence in the social media world and I have seen very positive and consistent results. I would highly recommend Suzie as a Social Media Manager. Donna – Jot to Jot

I worked with Suzie for one month while I was building my business. She managed my Pinterest and Twitter accounts and not only did she completely take on full responsibility for both of those, so also massively increased engagement. I got a lot more exposure on Pinterest which is now converting into much more web traffic, as with Twitter. I got to connect with a lot of people in my line of work in Twitter thanks to Suzie tweeting almost daily on my behalf. She also got me added to a lot of Pinterest group boards, optimised my profile and made me look so much more professional on both platforms. She made ten graphics for my blog posts and a couple of landing pages which got great engagement on both platforms and I’m continually repinning them. They’re still converting into web traffic thanks to her great copy. I’d love to work with Suzie again in the future. She’s very friendly and always responds to my messages, no matter how busy she is. I can’t recommend her services enough to busy professionals who need someone to take on that big part of maintaining a business and helping you to grow online. Charlotte – Charlotte Produces

FAQ

Read this first for MBTI stuff (crash course)

Read this for enneagram stuff (crash course), The Enneagram Institute

Guidelines:

Read the rest of this FAQ including relevant links first. If you ask something answered in the FAQ your ask will most likely be deleted.

To steal a rule from mbti-notes, searchable, repetitive, or irrelevant anon asks may be deleted. Searchable means it’s in the FAQ or that there’s a clear keyword or tag you could use to search. Repetitive means I get asked it very frequently or it’s in the FAQ (and probably overlaps with searchable). Irrelevant means it’s not related to personality theory (if it’s something I want to answer I’ll still answer though). I also delete ask meme things that come in after the stated deadline (eg: D&D class typing).

Asks off anon that fail to meet the above guidelines will get a courtesy ‘please read the FAQ’ private answer.

Occasionally I will instead be snarky about these things instead of deleting. The price you pay for free advice and research is that I get to have fun with it.

Please try to keep things to a reasonable length. There is no hard limit at this time but if you find yourself feeling as though you need to apologize for the ask length, please instead spend a few minutes editing down your question before you ask it. A good rule of thumb is that if it’s more than 5 or 6 asks long, you’re either rambling or you’re telling a story instead of asking a question.

Ask the question you want the answer to. Don’t ask “is it possible that I’m mistyped” if you mean to ask “what’s my type” and please attempt to use some common sense. You’ve presumably interacted with people before; that should give you some reference for what is normal human behavior.

If you definitely want a response, the ask box is always best. I might miss a reblog or reply, or assume it doesn’t require a response.

For typing help: I expect you to have read this FAQ and I expect you to be able to describe yourself or the person you are trying to type using multiple detailed examples of their specific and unique behavior.

I don’t do instinctual variant typing, and here’s why.

FAQ

Will mental illness or cognitive disorders possibly affect my typing? Yes. I cannot personally tell you what’s your personality and what’s due to mental illness/conditions that affect cognition so if you aren’t sure that is something for you to figure out. And as always, I am not a mental health professional. Please seek treatment or therapy and don’t try to solve legitimate illnesses with MBTI. For more on this: PSA.

What are the differences between Fi and Fe/can Fi look like Fe? Look here

Is there a surefire way to tell if someone is a specific type or uses a specific function? Not really. Most behaviors can be learned with enough effort, and the functions manifest more as patterns of behaviors, not a single signature behavior.

How do I tell if X MBTI type I have a crush on likes me/what do you think about this relationship/how do I help X type?

MBTI can’t answer these questions. Communicate with your crush or partner or the person you want to help instead of asking a person on the internet who doesn’t know any of you.

Which MBTI test is best? All tests suck. Study the functions.

Is this MBTI type likely with this Enneagram? Check this post out for some data!

How do I tell Ni vs. Si? Look here. Also here

How do I tell Ne vs. Se?

Look here

How do I figure out my tritype?

Type each fix separately rather than trying to holistically type based on a full tritype description. Ultimately similar cores will look quite similar even if the tritypes are different (ie, a 135 and a 126 will probably look more similar than a 135 and a 351).

I’m awesome and will actually search your blog before asking - what’s your tagging system?

It’s not perfect, but:

by function (eg: #introverted sensing; note that I spell extroverted with an ‘o’ even though it’s wrong)

mbti in general (#mbti)

enneagram (#enneagram)

I don’t tag by type unless it’s more holistically about that type, but by type (eg: #istj)

Previous asks, going back to around May 2017 (#answered asks)

Finally, the search function - even on mobile - is pretty good if you have a clear key word.

Additional resources:

Extremely comprehensive MBTI information broken down by function and far better organized than my blog: mbti-notes. If you’re looking for how functions interact based on stack position, go here.

Still more MBTI Resources: mbti-resources (by eilamona)

Enneagram tritype descriptions (and aesthetics) via collaboration between istj-hedonist and naughty-nanny: tritype aesthetics. Note that this is more a fun/aesthetic thing than a definitive typing resource. The enneagram institute, linked at the top, has everything from detailed descriptions to core comparisons for your enneagram typing needs.

hey, can you please tag posts that refer to suicide? even when it's an informative/educational post, it's still a triggering topic for many and without tags it went straight past all filters (and i have a LOT to be careful lol). anyway, hope you have a lovely day! sorry if this sounds demanding, i tried super hard to not make it come across that way as it wasn't the intention!

TW: suicide mention (in ask text and referenced/implied in my response)

hey, i'm SO sorry!!! i hope you're doing okay, and im genuinely so sorry for putting you and others at risk like that. the post has been tagged appropriately now

i usually do tag it - mentions, even allusions to it, but if it's the post i think it is (i scrolled back and i think this is referring to the anti-carceral therapy approaches post, bc that's the most recent relevant untagged post i can see?), i think i read, liked & reblogged it at different points during a 3-day migraine, which probably means i shouldn't be reblogging such widely triggering content while in that state bc.... the most basic safety measures can, evidently, slip my mind. but if there's any more posts you or others see are untagged, and if you feel able to, please let me know!! im gonna go back and search for any others myself in a sec but if this is something ppl have noticed i overlook regularly... yikes at myself but i need to know.

thanks for letting me know - not demanding at all!!! i appreciate that this may well have been an incredibly distressing and difficult situation for you overall so you (and others) have my sincerest apologies, and also my gratitude for the reminder here!!

* * * * *

as a sidenote - if you're using both of the built-in tumblr filters and content blockers, im a little surprised that the post wasn't filtered for you? in my personal experience, the combination of ~double filtering~ terms in the Tags and then again in the Post Content sections has blocked pretty much every post (save my own, and ads) to mention / be tagged with / even a reblog that originally was tagged or contained the filtered terms. like, this site is buggy and inadequate in so many ways, but then they updated the blocking and filtering earlier this year (?? last year??? must've been last year) they did it well.

so below is a quick grab of mine:

so my full list of filtered TAGS is.... incredibly long and im v glad that these are more 'red flag OP tags' on display more than common triggers - ant!-ant!, as!acore, cott@gecore, to block anything tagged on my dash, OR and posts that OP had originally tagged as such, from my view

and then filtered POST CONTENT you can just see 'hollowuscr' which i think is also in the tag list but the story there is a while back there was a sort of... unreality / horror-esque rp promo interactive blog and i found it and the associated puzzles and analysis etc incredibly unsettling and realised it had caused me to dissociate.... so i tried the then-new filtering option and it was all GONE because everyone was either tagging, @ ing or just writing the url in their posts abt it all , the filter(s) caught all of that and while the posts still existed on my dash they had the "blocked because it contains filtered words #xyz" overlay. and it's worked for me across my dashboard and in-dash blog viewing on both desktop and the mobile app. doesn't filter posts if u open the blog in it's own tab, but as far as im aware that's a limitation on all filtering/blocking options available rn.

so if you're using that filtering option w/ the keyword in question here and it's NOT catching mentions in posts, that may be something to contact support about because that's literally their own description of what it's supposed to do

but if it's simply that you've overlooked this additional form of filtering/blocking content, hopefully you can add a few terms to it to give yourself that extra bit of protection and security. not that it needs to be completely in ur hands, triggers are triggers and we all need to be mindful to give adequate warning!!! - but sometimes mistakes happen, and other times....people are just absolute arseholes, and i know it's been very helpful to me since i found out abt the updated tumblr filters so i hope...maybe....it either already is, or can be, useful to you!
