#akia art #olba #baxter ward #this was my favorite moment waha #i'd love to draw more scenes but idk if i can brave the gauntlet that is baxter's hair again LOL #also not sure what the etiquette is re: replying to reblog comments but i wanna say TY #i read them all 🥹🫶 u guys are lovely

[lynxbabey]

had to do this w them :3 maybe someone beat me to it but yknow what! the more the merrier right?

#whispangle #whisper the wolf #tangle the lemur #idw sonic #sth #sth fanart #idk if there’s a tag for this specific prompt thing #i also saw the post on here but i didn’t know if it would be fine to reblog it with this or not TwT im so not good with tumblr etiquette #tried out a new brush here too ! i’m really liking it so far #especially with things more thinly lined than this

[livebeginning]

Dunno if I'm the outlier here but I'm a lot less likely to reblog a fic if it isn't under a read-more. Sure, put the first paragraph before the read-more to get people hooked, but the majority should be under. I know not all of my followers want to read fic and I don't want to put something on their dash that takes a minute to scroll past, especially on mobile. Hell, if I see a fic in a tag that I'm not interested in reading, making me scroll past 5k+ of words only makes me tempted to block that person so I never have to do that again

TL;DR please put your fic under a read-more

#bg3 fic #bg3 raphael #<- using these tags because I have noticed several people in them doing this #I hope I don't sound like an asshole because some of these fics I see are genuinely amazing and I would love to reblog them #if they only had a read-more!! :( #I never read fic on tumblr before joining the bg3 fandom so idk what the etiquette is here #maybe there is a good reason why people arent using read-mores and I'm just a dumb-dumb #might delete later

ggguys whatvis tumblr etiquette like

[milla984]

Some time ago I saw a post from an author saying she doesn't know what to do when people leave comments in the tags and I swear - that's exactly ME. As someone struggling with social situations, I have a genuine question for all the people who reblog fanfic posts (🫶 you're amazing) and add their comments in the tags:

#reblog etiquette #tag etiquette #witers on tumblr #readers on tumblr #social anxiety #people taking their time to add their thoughts in the tags make me so happy #but i can't for the life of me tell if they would like me to interact #'cause i'm afraid reblogging and responding to their tags could make someone uncomfortable #idk how many people will see this poll but #whether you're a writer or a reader #if you're struggling with this as well pls consider reblogging

[mixtapedoh]

i want to make a poll for fun and random reasons, so...

#stray kids #☀ stray kids #poll #tumblr polls #reblog for a greater sample size or whatever the etiquette here is idk tbh #maybe i should do one for every group #omg....... choosing between my favorite gidle songs...... #or!!!!!!!! what is your favorite bts song out of my ults????? that one would be polarizing if it reached the right audience i think #kpop polls #kpop #idk what tags to even use asdfghjkj #i was going to include back door but we ALL know that song would SWEEP #i won't say what i think will happen because i don't want to influence votes but hmmm #was also tempted to include venom and hall of fame but hmmm i'm more interested in these

no one gave a fuck when i posted this on twitter but hello, this is my personal au for what rt's character would be like in the dsmp:

— i think the role that would fit rt in the dsmp the best is a simple resource-full kind of character. i don't really see him engaging in like elections and wars. because of smplive, i like to think he'd make lots of potions and sell them around for cheap prices. i also REALLY like the idea of rt selling and trading some materials like diamonds and such, consequently having to mature a bit more on that to be able to get netherite.

+ a good main "characteristic" could be that. with time, he becomes professional at digging holes and progresses until he's able to build huge underground spaces, raising an entire empire while hundreds of blocks under the earth. he could have scars from his adventures to the nether, from exploring caves and ravines, and have his clothes go from the suit to a more simple look since he gets dirty easily, only switching to an usual snazzy attire when it comes to going around selling his beloved potions.

+ he could be good friends with techno over that! they'd probably trade a lot, and since they would go well together personality wise, it would develop into an "i'm actually just straight away giving this to you just do this silly favor for me and you can have it."

+ he'd probably get interested in building (before making his empire and everything), he was so dedicated when building the spire in that one smp that it was cute, and the 100 players streams are always about builds, so he would start making little dirt houses, then more cool wooden houses, then progressing through tutorials until he's able to make somewhat of a castle to live in. he'd probably take inspiration from past builds his scribers had made and maybe cc rt could ask for consent to recreate it.

— about the three lives: i think rt would be very scared of losing them, but not in a "i don't wanna die i don't wanna die i don't wanna die" way, but in a "man if i lose a life it's gonna SUCK ASS and i'm gonna be FUCKED pretty soon."

+ he doesn't like getting involved in any kind of pvp, with mobs or people, but he's not scared when it happens. i think he can be quite good at pvping (judging by that one charity stream he did with kevin with the natural disasters happening because that's also all i remember). he's also really good at fleeing from it, like parkouring around, so people would have to hunt him down to get him.

+ about losing them: i think he'd rather lose them in a dramatic situation than simply mining or getting killed by a mob. i wanna think he'd become more and more neurotic everytime he loses one. with 3 he's just chilling and talking to everyone. with 2 he's a bit too cautious of who he approaches or stays close to. with 1 life left he would actually just "go missing" and live underground, away from everyone; i think it would make a cool arc to have someone go look for him and end up stuck in all the mazes he has built and stuff, and it could end in them either becoming good friends or... rt killing them and people getting a confirmation that he's alive because the "_____ was slain by RTGame" would appear in chat. >:)

— about the relationships, rt with wilbur and techno is basically inevitable. but he'd befriend everyone, even if only to a "oh yes, we've talked once! it was nice!" point.

+ he'd be a bit too anxious to talk to tommy, but he'd probably try and befriend him over building stuff, that when he was still a newbie, making cute gardens and tents here and there with the little guy. he'd probably attempt to act like an older sibling just like he watched wilbur and techno do, not exactly soft-spoken but not being too loud so tommy could find a bit of peace in him, still laughing at his jokes and going "tommy, please..." between giggles when he's being mischievous. he'd be someone to suddenly crawl out of a hole just to help tommy when he was in exile, giving him food and some things dream wouldn't notice are different.

+ i like to think that the "tutorials" he'd use were actually lessons from phil. he'd visit him often and ask to help whenever he could, to which dadza couldn't say no to, getting proud whenever rt made something cool by himself or followed his tips while making something impressive for a newbie. they'd spend time building, but i think he'd end up asking rt for materials as well after techno had mentioned it to him one day. i don't think both ccs would like to get heavily involved in lore, so they'd probably talk about others just like they talk about them irl, except maybe once or twice for techno lore or wilbur lore.

+ he'd be good pals with eret too, being protective with him over fundy. they'd be the "we barely know each other but i respect YOU" duo. i think fundy would also really like him to the point of being a very present friend, visiting him often just to talk, maybe going on walks just to mess around. these two would come as package deal.

+ techno and him would act like they "just know each other," but they're actually almost best friends at that point. even though rt understands techno would rather be alone and do things on his own, he shows how he cherishes him by paying visits while bringing useful gifts, staying a bit to help techno here and there with like farming stuff or anything that is considered "not too much" as techno would say. if he called, techno would probably come running to help him. techno also likes the fact rt is good friends with phil, takes care of tommy and is someone who deeply cares about wilbur. i would like to think he'd actually help techno during the butcher happenings because of how close they could've gotten.

+ rtsoot. how do i get started on rtsoot. i don't think he would be the reason for rt to show up at the dsmp, i think rt actually would've wandered there and accidentally found a home for himself, but he'd have arrived just as soon as l'manberg would start counting down its last days. wilbur wouldn't have seen him yet, but rt had heard of his friend being there. the first time wilbur sees him, he has already become unhinged, throwing a "you've gotta be fucking kidding me. you, out of all people, rt?" at him and making him already notice something's happening. i don't like thinking they'd interact much other than wilbur visiting him once and acting very weird, saying things that would make rt worry even more, all while they're just picking berries outside in the forest. after that, wilbur dies, ghostbur comes along, rt helps tommy deal with that while he himself has to deal with the fact he saw wilbur's own father kill him. he feels incredibly depressed whenever he sees ghostbur, and even though the ghost treats him with lots of kindness, even bringing him berries with a huge note half apologizing half trying to understand what he's apologizing for one evening, he's not able to look at him in the eyes. it's not even a shell of his best friend, it's just a blurry image of his face staring right back at him, nothing about the man rt loved (/p) behind those eyes. when revivedbur comes back, he ends up getting closer to him, and when he notices something is ten times worse, he desperately tries to fix him (personally loving the idea of rt going "this isn't you, wilbur! this isn't my wilbur!" and will being so pissed off at him that he grabs his hand and puts on top of his chest just to go "feel this, rt? you don't, right? because i'm dead. your wilbur is fucking dead. i'm the walking corpse of your beloved best friend and everything he wasn't enough to be. you're facing an illusion, but when you look into my eyes you're facing reality. snap out of that pathetic fairytale of yours.") but after getting manipulated to hell and back, he just completely turns on wilbur. would also like to have him take maybe his 2nd life, the fall to a single life remaining and having wilbur as the one who pushed him would be soooooo good. maybe towards the end, if rt is still mentally stable (lol) wilbur could come back and try to apologize, not really knowing how to make it up for rt ("i hated it whenever you looked into my eyes. because i was here. he is. he never died, you know? your wilbur. and i'm sorry that i made it look like i killed your best friend, when he had been standing right in front of you this entire time.")

+ quackity is his "right person, wrong time and wrong judgment." it starts with something silly, like they're having a conversation with someone they both know but they keep saying stuff that clashes, so they're just weirded out by each other since the start. it gets worse when rt helps techno with the butcher thing – fundy easily forgives him, while ranboo and tubbo are understanding of rt's motives, but quackity just gets incredibly mad at him to the point of growing some kind of hatred towards him. they have peak tension after quackity finds out rt has been getting manipulated by wilbur, drama ensues, but quackity ends up saving his life at one point because he doesn't actually hate him, their feelings towards each other were simply messy since they barely ever talked. from then on, it starts to get better, and i think they'd make a good pair. i'd like to think he'd join las nevadas at some point with the sole reason of gambling his ass off but he'd rather do bets with quackity.

#rtgame #rtsoot #i think? LOL #also also i'd love to keep writing more of this so i'll maybe reblog myself with some cool additions when my brain starts working again #also 3x i really want quackity and rtgame interactions idk why i just need them so bad #i need rt back with tommy too:( they got sibling dynamic too i Die #ALSO AM I USING THE RTGAME TAG TOO MUCH I HATE IT HERE IDK HOW TUMBLR ETIQUETTE WORKS OR WHATEVER /GEN

[stormsofasorceress]

can we pls normalize not everything being ship content. if its not tagged as such please stop assuming.

seeing ppl reblog ruby's (bg3) ooc posts as 'x gale' posts when shes literally a lesbian is kinda shitty.

not everything out there is ship content. platonic friendships between f/m characters exist.

#idk sorry if this is bitchy or whatever but like #i didnt even fucking tag these posts with x gale so the immediate assumption is kinda not sitting well with me #tbd #fyi i hc her to be a disaster couple w karlach #and i plan on making more content for them :) #and yea its fine to be inspired by others #but flat out reblogging original characters from others and tagging them as your own is a dick move too #theres such a thing as creators etiquette #these are not canon characters. they are made by someone else. with arcs and lives.

#tiny not that serious vent post #but if you’re going to comment on my fic criticising characters’ decisions #(esp when these are obviously sympathetic characters) #(AND when this is still a wip and you might get answers to your questions later) #it would be nice if you at least had the decency to say “great chapter” or smth first?? #idk it feels awful and entitled to complain about comments #but this one commenter (who I’m pretty sure doesn’t have tumblr. so not vagueing anyone reading this.) #keeps leaving these just slightly impolite comments on everything I write on ao3 #like they clearly aren’t MEAN and also they obviously aren’t great at english #but still some fandom etiquette might be nice #and I’m still bristling over the one comment they left calling maglor needy and pathetic #as if I would ever disrespect him like that in my own fic #hmph. *scrolls through the many many nice comments people left in reblogs instead*

Hi! Genuinely curious. I know a lot of artists don’t like qrts on Twitter because they remove engagement from the original post, but on tumblr, the engagement stays with the original poster, so I’m curious why you don’t want comments on reblogs. Is the engagement thing why you don’t like comments on your art, or is there a different reason?

hi! so im going to write this post with the assumption some people who read it may be unfamiliar with tumblr so pls excuse me if im explaining things you personally already know/is considered common sense/etc... i am also unsure which parts i should consider common knowledge/how far to explain so please forgive me if i overexplain a bit!

so on tumblr, comments on art do not affect engagement, but it is still commonly held etiquette not to add comments directly onto reblogs of art.

the reason for this is that when you add a comment directly onto a reblog (ie, not in tags nor the reply function) is that the comment becomes permanently affixed to that version of the post. it becomes a secondary caption, basically; it is not the same as a reply on twitter or a comment on insta. if the reblog with the comment is reblogged by someone else, that comment will remain and can continue to be shared, even if the commenter were to later delete the post. you now then, effectively, have a new version of the post that has additions to it.

this has become somewhat more of an issue lately, as tumblr recently updated to remove the ability to go to where somebody reblogged a post from. which is to say, if somebody encountered a post that has a lot of additive comments on it, but wanted to reblog the original/a version with less or different comments, they can no longer do so unless they scavenged someones blog for the post manually.

generally speaking, many artists prefer no direct additions be made to their posts (although sometimes people add image descriptor IDs, which i dont mind people doing) so that only the original iteration exists and can be reblogged, without anything extra added onto it that isn't meant to be there. the reply function (looks like a chat bubble at the bottom of a post) is a newer addition, but most people still prefer to add thoughts/commentary in tags -- since reblog tags only serve an organizational purpose within someones own blog/exist to help filter content warnings, it is very commonly used to add comments, since that will stay within someone's specific reblog and will not affect or change a post. original posters are still notified of every reblog and their tags (and i really like to go through and read/reread tags), so any commentary can still be appreciated and seen even without having to attach it to a post directly

tl;dr: id just prefer my art posts to be able to stand alone and be able to be shared that way w/out extra comments/a comment chain on them

i hope this helps answer the question...!

#umbrvx.ask #ofc different ppl are different too... idk if there r ppl who dont care abt additive reblogs but #in my experience using tumblr since like 2012 ik this has been the generally held etiquette...! afaik at least #anyways im sorry if i am overexplaining #ik quite a few new ppl are joining so i didnt know how much to consider common sense or not #also i hope it doesnt seem like i am making a big thing of it i dislike telling ppl what to do... #but ive been seeing it happen a bit more lately n thought itd just be worth at least trying to say something rather than hope ppl just know

[wavesoutbeingtossed]

OK you guys have me going! My crackpot theory about the cat prints:

It's gonna be something about cats having nine lives and how she's using up hers / rebuilding a new life / etc.

(or: about cats always landing on their feet and a metaphor for her rebuilding her life etc.)

#like phoenix rising from the ashes mending all her gashes vibes? idk #that or loml actually is about her cats who never abandon her unlike their deadbeat dad #the tortured poets department #taylor swift #also sorry per tumblr etiquette should I have reblogged another post? #this makes me sound really old lol but i just haven't been in a big fandom in years and years and have only talked to like five people #on here in the last like six years (you guys know who you are ily)

[meeks-just-wants-to-scroll]

I thought I was gonna quietly make some fan art for PHM again and 1) not get many likes, let alone reblogs because I don’t post actively here, and 2) be pretty forgotten by the PHM fandom.

I wasn’t prepared for one of the most heart felt and warmest comments on my art in a long time. :) 💕💕💕

Bonus:

^.^ teehee, I forget that drawing in pen is seen as impressive. Due to my fucked up hand posture, I smear graphite when I write or draw. Due to this, I’ve gotten quite good at it! I even lean into it by letting my art be simplistic and loose, that way any mess ups (which there are many, I assure you) blend into the art.

#meeks rambles #shitpost #reblog #ask #idk what to tag this as since it’s just me responding but in a meme + text form to a series of tumblr tags #I AM STILL SO IGNORANT OF TUMBLR CULTURE AND ETIQUETTE

One of my very favorite PloKit artists @uiro-mgmg1 reblogged/complimented my PloKit fic (my first for that pairing, but also some of my best work overall!) and I am so happy!! Their art is incredibly beautiful, and one of the reasons I got into PloKit in the first place, so I’m just really pleased that they enjoyed the fic 😊 If you want to see some really lovely PloKit art, go hop over there and you won’t be disappointed

#idk if it's proper protocol to post about a reblog? #I need like a Tumblr rulebook or smthn lol #but it was super exciting so I couldn't resist! #plus it gave me a chance to mention that this person is one of my fave plokit artists #and I love shouting out people who have brought me into a fandom even if we don't know each other #bc it's important to me even if it's not to them #idk sort of rambling now :| #anyway #plokit #plo koon #kit fisto #clone wars #star wars #btw if this does go against some kinda etiquette please let me know and I'll take it down if it's not proper

[coulsonlives]

Inhales deeply

If you tell certain kinds of people not to interact with you, use common sense and understand that people are going to block you, whether because they respect you and care about obeying your dni, or because they just think you're insufferable and they don't wanna deal w you

And you gotta deal with the consequences of that

You can't tell people not to interact with you, and expect to still have access to their posts/things

You can't have it both ways

#literally a 'well well well if it isn't the consequences of my own actions' dealio here #with extra bad etiquette on the side #people be wildin tonight idk what it is #i blocked someone like? probably 2 weeks ago or smthing for being one of those pro-censorship hypocrites #whose dni included anti-censorship peeps so i was like ofc i won't interact why would i? ydk how to think critically about fiction.. #so i did the block block #anyways #i just learned tonight they reposted a psa of mine bc they couldn't see my blog #(or like/reblog the post obviously) #and they wanted to share it/have it on their own blog/etc #i def feel vindicated in blocking em now that's for sure 🙃 #i guess this is one of those lessons in 'don't carpet bomb the majority of tumblr in your dni bc you'll lose access to useful/nice posts' #fandom #censorship #anti censorship #dnis #stealing

[maspers]

OI!

Don't let people guilt trip you into liking/reblogging. This is tumblr. If you think anyone's opinion on this site matters, then you've already fallen into the trap of viewing this like another social media site.

You are not under obligation to like or reblog anything. Yes, even if it's something you enjoy or agree with. Yes, even if the people say "if you don't reblog you are [X]". That's just manipulative. Now, I'm sure everyone would appreciate having their posts be liked and reblogged, so I would encourage you to like and reblog posts as much as possible. But here's the thing. You don't have to.

If you don't want to like or reblog something, then don't. If people want to make a big deal about the little numbers on the bottom of their posts, then they should go to xitter.

#again: you should still like and reblog as much as possible #but not because anyone TOLD you to #it should be because you WANT to #let introverts like me who are scared of reblogging sleep in peace #tumblr #reblogs #idk how to tag this #internet #etiquette #internet etiquette #play nice folks
