listen people can have their differing opinions that’s cool I just Personally Feel Like it’s just so mean to be yelling that feedback such as likes on posts and a kudos on fics are “useless”. What do u mean. Why. are ppl not expressing their feelings in a way that makes them comfortable ? ?
Like I Understand i guess in the sense of you don’t get to hear peoples opinions. I also feel kinda lonely and stuff when it’s quiet feedback but calling anything useless sounds so WEIRD to me ??? What is the goal. And also yea they do something still I’m pretty sure????
Take ao3. Isn’t sort by kudos an option on there? If your goal is to be seen more or whatever then if people are looking for high kudos fics, then people giving ur fic a kudos isn’t useless yeah??
And then tumblr. People keep saying “likes do nothing here there’s no algorithm” or whatever but that’s not really fully true. On your standard dashboard, sure, likes “don’t do anything” to move a post around on there. BUT that’s not the only place people find posts. If u are looking in the tags for posts, im p sure the default is to sort by popular posts. That’s, as far as I understand, a TOTAL NOTES count. Likes are included. Likes help ur posts her higher in that “popular” zone. I have several posts that have ended up in there in some small ship tags BECAUSE of all the likes, which does still have people seeing those posts now and then when they’re in the tag.
AND I’m pretty sure it’s a similar mechanic for the for you page. I’m sure we think people don’t use that feature but I’m pretty sure people do/ maybe new users. This is more of a theory on my part lol buttttt. I’ve noticed a few rare times where I’ve made an addition to a reblog on someone else’s post, there will be a stretch of time sometimes where random people that Do Not Follow Me keep liking/reblogging the post via my addition. WAY more times for it to just be a stray person wanting it from my addition without comments under (and I don’t think people do that when they’re only liking the post lol). And the few times I’ve accidentally had my for you tab on, I believe it does show via other people’s reblogs lol. So that’s just my way of saying total note count INCLUDING LIKES probably does put posts in peoples eyes on the for you tab / my experience tells me people do use that feature so it’s not just sitting there dusty lol.
Anyway I like mostly understand why people want reblogs and comments, like I do prefer them too bc I like when people tell me what they r thinking (however sometimes people do not add their thoughts in the tags either and that is just how it is!). And I also understand some people maybe just don’t know that others like that kind of feedback and need to hear it first to feel encouraged. I think I just personally do not like the tone that a lot of posts have when they talk about it. When ur calling likes useless bc idk it’s not the right kind of feedback u wanted so it’s inferior ?? 😭😭😭 I also feel like that intense vibe like, idk if this makes sense or if other people felt it too, but it negatively shifted my own perception too? Like. I thought likes were fine. But now with how intense people are about them and not meant if likes bc they just don’t count in ur eyes, now when people like instead of reblogging, I just think of all those posts and I’m like “hmm ok is my post bad did I make a bad post bc everyone says the likes aren’t good so if I’m getting likes I made A Bad Post. It’s Pity Feedback” <- which is SO unhealthy and also tbh has a lot more to do with my own issues that are just getting influenced here so it’s not all on those posts lol. I just Also Have Extra Issues 🫡
Ok jeeze I don’t wanna sound soap boxy tho so I’m NOT letting people rb this aJsndjfcjfjfjcjfj and ppl can absolutely have different feelings and opinions about the situation it’s fine. this is just. how I feel ✌️

Okay so this is the most personal and parasocial I’ll (hopefully) ever get on my stupid art blog, but I think there’s someone out there like me who might need to hear this:
idk if I’m happy with the way I’ve reached 300 followers.
Not that I’m ungrateful, I’m extremely happy, I understand that 300 whole people decided they liked my art enough to bother to follow me and I just made a shitpost of catboy five pebbles to celebrate. But honestly I don’t know if the way I got those followers is the way I want to continue doing art
Those followers mostly came from my lmk and rain world fanarts, but the reason I draw so much fanart of those communities is because I saw how many more notes those posts got than my oc ones.
Before I’d basically if not actually just only draw oc art. Art felt so much more fulfilling when I just drew those little goobers in my head than now. Now I feel like I’m making art for this audience I’ve artificially manufactured by posting what they want to see.
It doesn’t feel like I’m creating for myself when that’s the whole reason I got into art. Plus, all my favorite blogs and mutuals post like pure oc art which I why I think they’re my favorites and mutuals, their art is what they want to make.
That’s what I want my art to be like, just what I wanted to create.
But, tldr: I think I’ll be making and posting more oc art

Do they sell any physical copies of the Hypmic manga or is it purely digital where someone can read it?
both!!! when full volumes release you can buy them at places like cdjapan!!! for purchasing chapters as they release in japan, i prefer to use the jp bookwalker website, where you can also buy digital versions of the volumes if you want!!!
ofc, when purchasing the magazines on the jp site, you are going to need to search for hypnosis mic in jp and then the results are going to be in jp lol so the individual magazines they appear in are:
bbmtc➕: 月刊少年シリウス (our boys are on the cover this time so it’s easy to tell lol)
fpmtr➕: comic ZERO-SUM
dhbat➕: 少年マガジンエッジ
i recommend just searching for hypmic in jp and memorising what the magazine titles look like, as well as waiting for new issues so the ‘new’ banner makes it easier for you lol

The summer sun has set and the haunting season is upon us - so let’s get this spooky soiree started!!! You are all invited to the fifth annual unofficial Tumblr Trick-or-Treat event: Jack-O-Treat!!!
First of all, we’re going to try to keep this a PG-13 event!!!
So here’s the low-down:
Blogs can sign up to be ‘houses’ to give out treats … or tricks if that’s more their style! Treats/tricks can be photos of a handful of candy, pre-made/on-the-fly art, short literary pieces, poems, or whatever the ‘house’ wants to give out as long as it sticks with the basic PG-13 rule. Oh, and no jump-scares as tricks/treats please.
On Oct. 15th, I’ll publish a list of blogs trick-or-treaters can visit, and the event officially starts! Trick-or-treaters don’t have to notify me that they’re participating - just bring your spooky self and send an ask/message/submit-a-post/tag saying ‘trick or treat’ to a ‘house’ blog.
Houses have until the clock chimes at midnight on Nov. 1st to give out treats to any trick-or-treaters who visit on/after Oct. 15th. [Though of course, no fowl if it takes you a little longer to hand out your goodies.]
Individual blogs can choose to accept this rule or not, but we will set the evening of Oct. 28th (Friday) as the suggested deadline for trick-or-treaters to send their asks. That way blogs can hopefully catch up before the big night if they need to!
🎃
OK, I gotta lay down some basic rules:
Don’t be a jerk. If someone is being flat-out rude, please tell me and I’ll look into it.
All fandom/non-fandom blogs are welcome to join in!
You don’t need a muse to participate.
‘House’ blogs can also trick-or-treat.
Trick-or-treaters can visit as many ‘house’ blogs as they want - no shade if you just want to visit one or two particular blogs or the whole neighborhood. Please only visit a ‘house’ blog once unless they say they’re alright with repeat visits.
NSFW/18+ blogs are welcome to join as long as they let me know so I can put a notation on the participant list. Still gotta keep the tricks/treats PG-13 though - this is pretty much for both our sakes.
🎃
So if you want to run a ‘house’ blog, let me know through an ask/message and I’ll get back to you to confirm your spot! I’ll post a list of the houses on Oct. 15th, but if you decide you want to join in after that and hand out treats, just contact me and I’ll make updated lists of houses as we go along. If you need to exit the event, let me know and I’ll post that you’re ‘out of candy.’ Hey, life happens - we get it!
If you have any further questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact me - chances are good that you’re not the only one wondering!
🎃
Spread a little Halloween-y mischief if you want, be good to each other, and of course, have a frightfully fun time!!!
-The Poultrygeist
