An Honest Guide to Tumblr for Twitter Refugees (Part 1)
I know there are already tons of guides out there, but my WiFi was down the whole day and I got nothing else to do. Spent the entire morning making gifs, but still no WiFi, and I’m like, fck this let’s make a Tumblr guide.
Now, assuming you’ve already signed up and was able to snatch a fancy url*, here’s what you should do next: Log into Tumblr on desktop. You probably made your account through the app, and that’s cool and all, but for this guide, I’ll be showing some features that are currently only available on desktop Tumblr, so go ahead and get your laptop or PC out. Following this guide will also be easier on desktop.
*url = basically your username/handle on this site. We call them url’s because it what makes your domain name on your blog. More on this later.
Covered in Part 1:
Configuring your Tumblr Settings (filters, community labels, algorithms, etc.)
Customizing your Tumblr (how to avoid being mistaken as a bot**, enabling your Tumblr website, finding a Tumblr theme)
**this wasn’t included when I first made this post but decided to add it coz it’s really important.
Configuring your Tumblr Settings
Filters and Community Labels
Go to tumblr.com/settings/account. Here, you’ll find one of Tumblr’s most important features: filters and community labels. Filters are similar to Twitter’s “mute words” feature, and they come in two types: Tag and Content filters
Unlike Twitter, where tags are part of the post itself, Tumblr has a dedicated section at the bottom of the post to add tags.
Tag filters block out posts that are specifically tagged with #tag, while Content filters block posts containing a certain word within the body of the post itself. Once you have these set, you will never see such posts when using the search feature on Tumblr. It will still show up on your dashboard though, but it will look this and comes with the option to view the post for whenever you’re curious:
As for Community Labels, this should be self-explanatory. Mature content is now allowed on Tumblr, but if you don’t want to see such content, you can always opt-out.
Go wild in using these two features. Tumblr is the only major social media left that still allows you to liberally curate your feed. The peeps here on Tumblr mainly still abide by the “don’t like, don’t interact” rule from the old days. Calling out or cancelling a user for what they’re posting will get you nowhere. That’s just not how it works here. If you don’t like something, just block it.
Turning Off Algorithms
Contrary to popular narrative, Tumblr actually has algorithms. But unlike social media sites, they are contained in a tab of its own (i.e. the “For You” tab in Dashboard) and can be even turned off from showing up from within the feed you manually curated (the “Following” tab under Dashboard).
To turn off the algorithms, go to tumblr.com/settings/dashboard and scroll down to the Preferences section. And if you’re a privacy stickler like me, you can go further by going to tumblr.com/settings/privacy to turn off Improved Search.
Tumblr Labs
Tumblr Labs are experimental features. They’re not required, but if you want to make the most out of Tumblr, you might want to turn on some of them. I like to turn on the different Dashboard tabs so I can keep up with what’s going on in Tumblr.
Customizing your Tumblr
Now here comes the fun stuff and what really sets Tumblr apart from all other major social media sites: Personalization. In Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, etc, all user pages look the same. But in Tumblr, you can customize it as much as you want.
Before I start though, I’d like to throw in some stuff that you have to understand first:
Tumblr’s Two “Profile Pages”
Each Tumblr user technically has two “profile pages.” The first one is found at tumblr.com/username, and is basically not that much different from the profile pages of Twitter/Instagram/Facebook. You can customize its colors, icon, and header, but that’s pretty much it.
Edit: I forgot to include this very important bit when I first posted—
How to avoid being mistaken as a bot
Do not settle for Tumblr’s default icon and header. Tumblr has a long-standing bot problem. An uncustomized profile will make people think you’re a bot and will block you immediately. And when choosing an icon, you might have to think twice when using a selfie that does not include your face (i.e. an upper body picture starting from the neck/chest). Porn bots often use such pictures to make people think they’re real users.
Numbers at the end of a url (like username123) are often indications of a bot account, so you might want to avoid that too.
Moving on… The second profile page is where the magic happens, and its found at username.tumblr.com. However, it’s not turned on by default.
Remember what I said earlier about Tumblr usernames being generally called as url’s? That’s because of our “second profile page” here (I hate calling it second though because it’s what came first, but since it’s not a default option now, “second” it is). Tumblr is a blogging platform. Like WordPress and Blogger, but a fun version of it. Your username.tumblr.com page is basically your own custom website.
Enabling your Tumblr Website
From hereon, I’m gonna refer to the “second profile page” as just site because, well, that’s what it really is.
To enable your custom site, go to tumblr.com/settings/blog/username. Toggle on the custom theme option. [If you’re a professional, you can even use a custom domain if you want your site url to look like your-site.com instead of your-site.tumblr.com.]
In the past, the step above would’ve been enough to enable your site, but since Tumblr started implementing changes that sites using the default theme would just redirect to the first profile page (tumblr.com/username), we now have to do some extra steps to make sure that folks visiting at your-site.tumblr.com will really see your website instead of Tumblr’s default profile.
For that, we need to edit our site’s theme.
What are Tumblr themes?
It's basically the design and layout of your site. It can be as crazy or as professional as you want. Here's Taylor Swift's Midnights theme, for example.
Where to Find a Tumblr Theme
Tumblr’s Official Theme Garden (free and paid)
Tumblr’s Official Theme Garden, but filtered to show only the free themes
@theme-hunter
@codingcabin
It’s so hard to filter for the right theme in the Theme Garden though, so I suggest looking for themes in theme-hunter instead.
Tip in Choosing a Theme: Find one that supports NPF (Neue Post Format). Although Tumblr is still advocating its different posts types (text, image, audio, video, etc.), they’ve actually been rolling out changes to their editor where only a single post type is used (text) and you just add media to it. This is what NPF is about. On desktop, you can turn off the beta editor and thereby turn off NPF. However, on mobile web and on the app, posts can only be made in NPF. So if you intend to post on mobile, you have to find a theme that supports it. Otherwise, your content may look weird on your site.
I absolutely recommend themes by @seyche and @fukuo. The one I’m currently using on my site is the Lilac theme by Seyche.
For a more comprehensive guide on customizing your Tumblr, check out Tumblr’s official guide for it.
And that ends part 1 of this Tumblr guide… Though I called this part 1, I actually don’t know if there’ll be a part 2 lol. I’m lazy, and writing this took some time. If my wifi continues to be down though and I still have some data left, I might just write a part 2, covering posting and tumblr culture.
Okay, I'm working on Part 2 now, and will soon edit this post to link to it. But for now, you might want to check out Part 0: What the heck is Tumblr and is it right for me?
Edit: Part 2 is done, and it covers stuff you need to know about posting! You can read it here.
Update: Part 3 (sort of) is up:

on the whole kudos/comment thing. I'm an artist and I havn't posted art on instagram in 2 years, that is both og art and fanart. its not worth the 2 mins of my time to post after only to get 10ish odd likes from mostly people ik irl when I can just send it off to my friends and get wayyyyyy more personal and happy responses. yes creatives are not entitled to engament but don't be surprised when they disappear
if its not worth your time to comment then its not worth THEIR time to post.
I'll admit im a hypocrite saying this as I don't comment all the time (mixture of no internet when reading and good old mental illness leaving me with blank brain fog) but I stil try. its not a matter of which is good enough or conveince but if its a good day for me. speaking of trying while I'm here I freaking love dhd, started following from she ra but I love your orginal stuff and you're so sweet. <3
I hope people stop being rude in your ask box
Yes, I hear this a lot. Also, it seems people are willing to discuss about things with their friends or fandom fellow groups but not give the same comments to the person who created that thing. I have a personal experience of this.
Years and years ago, I used to write fanfic with an url no one knew about. It was my secret little account. I was a part of a fandom group for the said fandom I was writing these fics about. The group was lovely and active, and they openly loved to discuss about fanfics and fanart.
Whenever I wrote a fic and posted it, the very same day someone within the group noted the whole group about it. Those who wanted to read the fic went to read it, and then they eagerly discussed about the fic with each other; what did they like about it, what thoughts they had, if they had any metas or ideas of what would happen in the next chapter, how the fic had made them feel like and what was their favorite part of each chapter.
I followed these conversations without anyone knowing they were talking about my fic. It made me happy to see that what I had written was well received, and people waited for more!
Did any of these people leave me a comment on the said fic they were gushing about? No.
So, the lurker me knew that my fic was well received and liked, but the author me didn't know, because no one said anything. All the conversation was held in a private place among readers but the author was not included in it.
It would have been really easy for any of these fans of the fic just copy the same thing they had said in the private group and post it to the author me under the fic. Very easy support and a very easy way to let the author-me know that yes, this is what we wish to get more! I only know this because I was lurking in the fan group and saw these conversations.
Another experience I've got and it still keeps happening is that if I join a Discord group or any event group, there are always people who know me due FUZZY. They say that they read the comic and loved it. I have no idea just how many people actually read FUZZY, know it and liked it, because the majority seem to be lurkers who I encounter at random like this :D It's always a surprise when it happens, a happy one mind you! I don't know how many readers and fans FUZZY actually had but I think no one can really ever know the full scale of their fans and influence.
I've got IG which mainly operates now as an art gallery for those who wish to see just my art (excluding long comic updates due image limit). Engagement is small in IG and Twitter, where things are fresh for 20 second and then they are forgotten - albeit IG's positive side compared to Twitter is a better search system where you can go through old posts and like & comment them (no, it's not creepy, why the hell giving support for someone would be creepy when we talk about supporting fandom people).

hi. writing here because of your privacy settings, sorry.
from what i’ve seen you’re doing supporting for fundraisers, and i wanted to ask for your help.
i’ve had a person submit an ask to me saying they’re from gaza and need donations. i’ve never had experience with anything like this, but i’m trying to ask questions. they don’t share much info about themselves. their link leads to a something something linktree where you can donate with paypal. they sent me a photo per request, upon looking it up in google it leads to a gofundme https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-the-aqlain-family-evacuate-gaza?modal=donations&tab=all
can’t open it because of the country i live in, but the date is set to 16 feb. the name there doesn’t match name in their link, or the name they’ve sent me per my request.
:•( i’m getting a fishy vibe, but i’m worried it could be a person new to tumblr or eng speaking social media in general.
hi! sorry for responding so late. you did everything correctly and those are all definitely signs of it being a scam. i just talked w a friend about this (ill copy and paste my tips below).
i completely understand the worry. many of these red flags aren't outright indicators that every single blog that fits them is a scam, but the combination of things is what really makes the case. it's unfortunate but, a big red flag generally is if a new blog sends you an ask about donations. it's a common scam tactic from before this nakba. the scammers are just exploiting palestinians' genocide instead of the other issues they typically exploit.
obviously not all of these tips are absolute indicators of a scam and some are already things youve considered! but my general tips:
1. is the blog just new?
if the icon is of a real person, is it their image? (you can reverse google image search! w mobile you'll have to save the image first and find a site for it. i typically use labnol but i can help you find alternatives if youd like!)
are the posts they're reblogging related to the things that you post? (consider: how did they find you)
are the posts they're reblogging coming from an actual dashboard rather than the recommendation page? (indicates that they're reblogging popular posts without any rhyme or reason to look like a real blog)
is their first post a donation post and was it just made? (dates the blog. you can look in their archives to see the date of their earliest post)
2. where are they linking to?
im not sure if your device has an option to preview a link url before sending you to the page but if it does, i would use that here just to be safe.
do the names of the accounts match? (note that in this case, of course, many fundraisers are being raised by people outside of palestine. but if the blog claims to be the account owner, do their names seem to match? if theres a description, do the names match the ones the blog gives?)
does it lead to a paypal instead of a gofundme?
heavily stressing that this obv doesnt mean every request from someone using paypal is a scam, esp w the way gfm has been screwing over some palestinians, BUT paypal is often what scammers would use.
gofundme is generally reliable and every fundraiser is donation protected, meaning its possible to get a refund from gofundme in the rare case that the fundraiser is a scam.
3. verifying gfm's can be a lot harder bc my go to options aren't always available.
generally what i do is to look at through the organizer's updates, the fundraiser's description <- which obv you should always do anyways, and the fundraisers photos to see if theres anymore information about social media accounts related to the fundraiser.
sometimes people will link twitter profiles, sometimes people will link instagram profiles. its just the same process of scrolling back as far as you can and seeing if you can identify the same face(s) from before more people started exploiting these traumas to scam others, seeing when the profile was made, checking if the images are truly from the profile's owners and not stolen, etc.
the biggest indicators imo are the stolen photos since the originals almost always link back to a name that doesn't match the blog.

Things that don't happen on Tumblr for new bloggers:
Monetization. If that's a thing, it's new/rare. Just because you get a lot of followers, doesn't mean you get paid for it. We're broke hoes here.
Virality. A post may get popular, but that again doesn't mean you will. I can name at least 5 well known posts of mine that people have seen SOMEWHERE. They keep getting stolen and I have been sitting at 7k followers for nearly a decade, which is how long I've used this site. They have collectively over a million notes and I have not received a single cent for any of that chaos.
People don't know you. Honestly I've been in discords and had people talk about my posts and they freak out when they realize "oh shit that's you???" My name is the same there as here. No one really pays attention to the URL unless it's funny. (Like one-time-i-dreamt- and even then it comes after the post and people have to check). They know your posts unless you did something fucked up like Old Dogs or Pizza.
Algorithms. Thank GOD you can actually curate your own experience and have things posted in order but to continue that you have to REBLOG/share from others. Liking is fine, but no one is gonna see it if it isn't shared. You don't even have to add a comment. If you do but don't want it on the post, you can put it in the tags. It's fine.
Also, sharing/liking things from AGES ago? Also fine! Posts get brought back all the time. "It's that time of year again!!" No one will judge if something from 5+ years ago is shared or liked.
There used to be cliques because the aesthetic/hipster blogs had their whole posting thing, and then there was the fandom blogs. There were the porn blogs (like legit porn not just bots), sport blogs, literally anything themed blogs because that's what people liked. They followed blogs they liked the content of and shared it. Some people, like me, don't HAVE a theme and post whatever they like. Or, have side blogs for other purposes like special interests or I like to Roleplay and use them for my characters.
If you want followers, you have to interact more than just liking. You have to share things, post things, so people can FIND you. And it sometimes takes time. You gotta curate your experience and people will do the same and find and follow you. And not everyone interacts. Again I have 7k followers, quite a few I consider friends, and I don't get asks. I don't get interaction that way but I see my friends in my likes and reblogs.
Tumblr is a whole other beast compared to tiktok or twitter and Instagram. And that's OKAY. ITS GOOD.
It Tumblr a broken trashfire of a site? Also yes but we love it because it's still OURS and not some megacompany using us for money. We can be weird here. We literally lost Yahoo MILLIONS of dollars and weird we remain. They bought us for 1 billion and sold us for 3 million. We don't play cooperate games here. So stop expecting the algorithms to curate to you. Be your own person and make your own experience.

Hi folks! It's time for a slightly redundant introduction on a blog I've had for more than a decade.
My name is Kylie Robison, I'm a technology reporter for Fortune Magazine. Before that, I was working at Business Insider. Many of you on here know me as "preteenager," a URL I've had since the word was applicable to my age.
Many of you have followed me for more than a decade, and when Yahoo decimated this website, some of you followed me to Twitter. If you've forgotten about me since 2015, you might only know me as the person who asked how popcorn does that thing.
I've missed Tumblr a lot, I spent most of my youth reblogging late into the night until I hit my limit for the day. One of my most sacred memories was staying up all night on Tumblr just before my 14th birthday fiddling with my theme's HTML. That month, Frank Ocean released Channel Orange, along with a text post about his sexuality. This website was so fuckin good back then.
I don't really remember when I stopped being so active here. It was a slow trickle of declining usage through the end of high school, and everyone in my school started using Twitter. Over on that platform, I went through a few usernames (based babe, myspace mami, fijibongwater, molly mom, and of course, preteenager). By college, all Tumblr activity ceased and I started getting more involved in "tech twitter." I was studying business management information systems, and I wanted to get a job in developer relations. My audience became people in their mid-30s and on who wanted to support my professional endeavors.
Then, in my junior year of college, I joined a student publication called The State Hornet. I wanted to write about technology, and flex those blogging muscles I hadn't used since my heyday on this platform. I had an op-ed column called "kyliebytes," which ended up being my final username on Twitter.
Those articles got shared by those same nice people who wanted to support my professional endeavors. I also reached out to a reporter I idolized named Taylor Lorenz for advice on how to get into the field, and because she's so kind and I'm so lucky, she started sharing my articles with her thousands of followers.
Because of that newfound reach, an editor at Business Insider happened to come across these articles and a few of my dorky try-hard tweets about wanting to become a tech reporter. He reached out, I interviewed for an internship, got the job, and here I am today.
At Fortune Magazine, I write about the not-at-all-controversial Twitter. As a result of some slightly chaotic business decisions by its new CEO Elon Musk, I've been pretty busy writing about it every day while simultaneously growing a sizeable audience on the platform (mostly composed of people who just want to see what crazy shit is going to happen next).
The infrastructure there under Musk has been notably more fragile, and people (including myself) are looking for a place to move their audiences before things get too dire. Some have moved to Mastodon, which is annoyingly technical. I found myself really missing Tumblr, but couldn't imagine using a blog dubbed "preteenager" at the ripe old age of 24. I hoarded @kyliebytes and @kylierobison, but didn't really consider it further.
Much to my luck, the CEO of this site tweeted "if you have a ton of followers on Twitter and want to switch over and there's a held-but-unavailable username you want, reply here and I'll see what we can do." I messaged him a few weeks ago for @kylie but never heard back.
Yesterday, Twitter rolled out a controversial new policy that banned users from linking to other social media platforms. "Follow me on Mastodon/Instagram/etc at @kyliebytes" would get you suspended. Also, linktree's were banned, which is what I used to direct my audience to my articles and other social media platforms. It was a hot mess, and Twitter reversed the policy a few hours later.
In those few hours though, I was like uhh... fuck this? Let me just set up a Tumblr really quickly that serves the same purpose. I logged in, and saw that the CEO gave me the new username but forgot to respond, I suppose. A caveat to giving me the username: I have to be active or they'll take it back (or if Kylie Jenner wants it, probably). Fair play!
So here I am, a decade later, using my favorite platform again. I'm going to still use @preteenager to reblog shitposts and pretty pictures, you're welcome to follow me there. I'm going to use my cool new URL for whatever I want, I guess. Mostly going to be news, blogging, probably a lot of shitposts, etc.
I've missed you guys and this place dearly. I'm happy to be back with a very traditional and slightly cringe blog post that probably could have been less than 200 words.
You can also follow me at:
IG: @kylie.robison
Twitter: @kyliebytes
Mastodon: [email protected]

HOW TO RECOGNIZE REPOSTED GIFS/EDITS
lately, i’ve been seeing a huge rise in reposts of gifs and edits, and of spreading those reposts. i don’t think it’s a malicious thing at all from people who reblog them, but it’s important to be able to spot them in the future so that we can stop perpetuating this kind of behavior. so without any further ado, here are a few ways to recognize reposted gifs and edits. please keep in mind that it’s usually a combination of a few of these factors, and that one of them being present doesn’t necessarily mean the post is DEFINITELY a repost. be smart, but also be vigilant!
1. non-matching watermarks
a watermark is a (usually) small/unobtrusive placing of the gifmaker/editor’s url or username somewhere on the gif. for example, here’s a gif i made; you can see my tumblr url, bringmoreknives, very lightly in the upper left corner.
now, just because you see a post from a blog with a different url than the one in the watermark doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a repost. editors and gifmakers change their urls, just like everyone else does. however, the watermark is a good place to start. you can always go to that original url and see if you can trace them to the blog that posted the post in question. and if you’re an editor, make sure you watermark your shit and leave a clear trail to your new blog -- i have redirect pages set up on all my old urls, all the way back to when i first made this blog in 2013.
2. mismatched gifs or edits being posted together, or media being posted in an awkward way
in my opinion, this is the best indicator of reposts. oftentimes, because they don’t make the content themselves, reposters don’t understand the logic of making a cohesive gif or edit set, and so will cram a bunch of random gifs/edits of different sizes, video qualities, and psds/effects together into one post. they also might post gifs that were meant to be side by side on top of each other or vice versa, resulting in a reduction of quality and everything looking super pixel-y.
in a post, this will look like:
dramatically different colorings on gifs being posted side by side (not just, like, one or two black and white gifs in a clear color scheme, but one sepia-toned, one original colored, one extremely lightened, etc)
parts of some images being cut off due to different image dimensions
media from a bunch of different events, appearances, episodes, etc. that isn’t tied together by a common theme
3. use of tumblr mobile “fonts” in the caption
this is a super obvious one, imo. again, on its own it’s not necessarily a giveaway, but i don’t know any editor who posts original gifs from their phone, simply because you need photoshop to make them, and therefore the files will be on your computer.
4. captions that comment on the content, or a lack of caption at all
lack of a caption is less indicative of a repost than an odd caption is. but reposters often caption their reposted comment with something relatively irrelevant, like “omg he’s so cute” or something. additionally, many original posts will have a link to the video source in the caption -- so if everything else checks out AND there’s a source linked, it’s probably fine. (again, lack of a linked video source is not a marker of a repost: tumblr recently changed the rules where any post with an external link won’t show up in tags, so many creators leave off source links now.)
also, worth mentioning that people DO often repost with the caption “not my gif/edit/pic,” and this is a great reminder that that is not an acceptable alternative to simply REBLOGGING POST FROM THE ORIGINAL SOURCE.
5. lack of a tag to indicate that the work is the poster’s own
creators will often have tags for all of their original content. this can be anything from “mine,” “my stuff,” etc. to a series of asterisks or other punctuation marks that aren’t likely to be used for anything else. additionally, many creators will prominently display a link to this somewhere on their blog, if they have a custom theme. if a post doesn’t have some kind of tag indicating ownership that you can click on and browse to see more original content, that can be a major red flag.
6. crosstagging/adding irrelevant tags
reposters want to get their posts seen, reblogged, and liked by as many people as possible. they thrive off clout for stuff they didn’t make. therefore, they have a tendency to add a SHITLOAD of tags that don’t really have anything to do with the actual subject matter. for example, if it’s mcr reposts, they might tag all of the band members, even if they’re not all featured, all of the album names, a ton of bands in the same musical circles, and even instagram-esque hashtags like “cute,” “emo,” “scenecore,” etc.
and there you have it -- here are some of the ways i know to spot reposts from seven years as a creator on this site. you get better at it the more time you spend in a fandom, because you’ll recognize content that popularly gets reposted, and also just learn to have a trained eye for this sort of thing. but until you reach that stage, i hope that this helps. please reblog to spread the word, and don’t be afraid to call out reposters, with links to the original post if you can find it, because creators on this site have a hard enough time as it is. and feel free to add anything else you use to spot reposts!

POP STARS IN DANGER
POP STARS IN DANGER
Over the years, a lot of pop stars came out as being “slaves” to the music industry. Example : Brittany spears, Camila cabello , BTS, fifth harmony Lauren jauregui and more which we will get in a minute. Before we get into it , these are all just theories , none of are “facts” and they are not meant to hurt anything/anyone. Alright lets hop into it .Pop stars are being said as the puppets in street whose controlled by big guys with black suit , but nothing has more covered up then music industry treating pop stars as slaves. Meet the darker world of Kpop
DARKER WORLD OF KPOP
First we are going to talk about a guy known as prince Henry mak. He was the former member of Kpop group called JJCC records. He came out and talked about the secrets of the Kpop and it shocked a lot of fans. He states “you can be working 20 hours a day and earn like zero dollars a day , 2 dollars a day lf you’re lucky. For 10 years” now he refers to the contracts as “slave contracts” he states “slave contract is usually above 10-15 years in average years, no dating, dieting ,some even has plastic surgery that’s a slave contract” when you’re a Kpop star, everything in your life is watched , your diet , your weight , your hair and when its all over you’re left with nothing.he states “you go older and you probably need to go to army and retire you have no money and you’re left with nothing”. These Kpop stars are being controlled by record labels are so overworked that they litterally pass out on stage.Fans have also noticed healthy weight gain from the BTS members, which stands in contrast to other idols who put themselves under dangerously low weight measures. It is clear to see the difference in how different companies treat their artists and how the difference in treatment can affect the group’s overall well-beings and mental health. Even in a article it was said that “With countless hours of work and practice, harsh expectations and criticism from netizens, and colossal amounts of pressure put on them by their companies, certain idols have gone as far as taking their own lives, deciding that this so-called “perfect and glamorous” life wasn't worth it, according to People”. There’s a clip of a girl named Krystal from Kpop who passes out on stage, there’s actually so many clips of her passing out that even had compilations, but this isn’t new Kpop stars passing out on stage is something which is happening for years. Now fans of BTS throwing up on side of the stage ,and even after the show they needed to be hospitalized.
CONSPIRACY
Now listen its not just Kpop stars treated like this, the amount of music artists where they’re hinting like they’re feeling like robots and being controlled by the record labels is insane. Britney Spears ,lady gaga, ke$ha are being treated by the music industry like slaves is very real. Just read this alleged audio clip of fifth harmony member Lauren jauregui she says “making decisions on a regular basis to make us literal slaves , like literal slaves ,like we are doing LABOUR and we see nothing”. Another audio came out of member Camila cabello saying this “sorry I couldn’t come over”. “they were actually making us work to the bone , like we did 5 songs “ and then after those leaked , there was a q/a with fans and Lauren said this “I was wondering if you had any advice for someone going into music industry ,like myself , READ YOUR CONTRACTS”.
SONY (theory)
Now , somebody that did talk about this is Micheal Jackson ,he even went into a stage one night with a sign saying “SONY KILLS MUSIC” he said this one night “I’m not supposed to say what I am going to say alright? , uhh…pls don’t tape this , okay ,Tommy motola is a devil. (Tommy motel) (CEO OF SONY 1990- 2003)Mariah Carey after divorcing Tommy , came to me crying, she said this was a evil man , Micheal , this man follows me she said ,he tapped her phones and he’s very very evil”.
That’s right sony, the same label that forced ke$ha to someone she was terrified of. (The judge rule that ke$ha will remain under content with sony.) now prince was also very vocal about this as well. He’s said “we live a place now of a plantation, we are all indentured servants” he even performed one night with SLAVE shoved on his face. Now Micheal Jackson and prince was the only two vocal popstars and then mysteriously they died in a very similar way by a drug overdose. Then of course you have Kanye west throwing the word “slavery” a lot in press , what if he’s hinting the possible slaves in the music labels.
BRITTENY SPEARS
Now ,one of the most controversial theories of all time surrounding Brittany spears is her hinting clues in her songs.now if you look at the title of her song its looks fun “baby one more time” , “soda pop” and in her next album it got a bit weirder “lucky” a song showcasing a girl whose scared and miserable. And then in her next album “lonely” , “overprotected”,”let me be“and of course “I’M SLAVE” AND if you look at the record label she’s owned by , its called jive which is owned by SONY. and if you’re wondering what record label the fifth harmony is owned by called “epic” which owned by SONY. Guess who Camila cabello works for SONY. She even got hospitalized , yeah. okay now back to Brittany spears , she uploaded a video with a soft pitched voice even though fans started clipping her old and new voice. Some people say that she has a manager who sped the voice up.
CARDI B
She has been blowing up in 2018 and she was to be one of the most famous popstars ever.Her song bodak yellow is been exploding on the internet. However a clip came out of her in a interview in red carpet and people started speculating that she is a illuminati puppet. She’s says she is shaky and excited about the album and stops and stares like a mind controlled puppet. I mean its weird right? I don’t know if she is being sarcastic that moment, but the second the two of the members ,who were co-ordinaters are looking directly to her. Now this got people believe that she is part of illumanati and she is being mind controlled. I mean she did become extremely popular in life. She says in one of her videos she says “my family is my man , illuminati which one of my cousins, you want for that dead kid?”. Then she posted in one of instagram , with a devil horn in her hands and not just this video , there are thousands of pictures of her putting 666 on her fingers. She went on live one night and said this “I believe america is trying to kill you, like I’m going to shift my parents to Dominican Republic and the reason is umm….the food industry, like how the lettuce and fruits last so long like they have to be organic foods”. I mean she is not wrong , the amount of flouride put on our daily water is insanity.
CONCLUSION
TODAY we talked about lot of theories, right?. We talked the dark side of Kpop , we talked about cardi b being possibly rogue in her hypnosis, we even talked about the infamous Brittany spears incident. Thank for making into the end and if liked this blog, then let me know.also make sure to click this URL , www.tarunbieber.blogspot.com to watch more conspiracy theories.

thank you for the tag @the-wandering-whumper ! i was reading through your post and was like “oh this sounds fun“ and then was so excited to see i was tagged :D
1. why did you choose your url?
Well one of the bad guys’ catchphrases in Spiderman PS4 when they fight Spidey is “that’s gonna leave a mark“ and I thought it was very fitting. I know it’s a common phrase outside of that too but I really like it that way.
2. any side-blogs? if you have them, name them and why you have them.
this is a sideblog, unfortunately tbh. I wish I could send asks/reply from this blog.
My main blog is @sephs-ghost where i mostly reblog art and aesthetic stuff and I also got @mortal-ghost for my music stuff that I pretty much never post on and @ghostesques for my photography that I haven’t posted on in probably years. I’m way more active on Instagram for that stuff. can you tell i like ghosts?
3. how long have you been on tumblr?
oh damn i just checked on tumblr stats and my first blog was created in november 2012. i was 13 what was i doing on here. this blog was made in december 2018 i think.
4. do you have a queue tag?
yup. its “q“. very creative
5. why did you start your blog in the first place?
i’d been a lurker in the whump community for about a year after discovering the whole thing (still so grateful to @whumpgalore whose blog was my first introduction <3) and thought it was finally time to get in on the action :D
6. why did you choose your icon/pfp?
Hm I just wanted something kinda aesthetic and whumpy? also non-character or fandom specific since I constantly switch favorites
7. why did you choose your header?
Same reason. I wanted it to kinda fit with the icon but also be non specific so it’s a nondescript pic of a basement wall or smth
8. what’s your post with the most notes?
Looks like its my “which whumpy trope are you“ uquiz. something i made very quickly out of boredom but it was fun. it got outside of this whump bubble and there were some very confused people lol
9. how many mutuals do you have?
Oh no idea. i don’t think there’s a way to check, especially with a sideblog.
10. how many followers do you have?
1088
11. how many people do you follow?
288 (aa i need to follow more whump blogs)
12. have you ever made a shitpost?
for sure. and im a big fan of making whump memes
13. how often do you use tumblr each day?
check it first time in the morning like the newspaper while eating breakfast. then all the time throughout the day
14. did you have a fight/argument with another blog once? who won?
not really. I got my first ever hate-anon on this blog some time ago when i still posted some writing. i still wonder who that was cause id only had this blog for a couple of months then and never engaged in discourse or anything and i have no idea what couldve warranted that. unfortunately i do think its part of why i havent written in so long.
15. how do you feel about “you need to reblog this” posts?
this is my blog and i reblog what i want. i don’t engage in any of that guilt tripping. this is a tumblr blog, i don’t need to prove that i care about something by reblogging it, no point in that
16. do you like tag games?
I love them! as i said i was so excited to be tagged in this and i always am excited when i’m tagged in anything
17. do you like ask games?
yes! and i always send something to the blog i reblogged an ask game post from cause i know how nice it is to receive something 😊
18. which of your mutuals do you think is tumblr famous?
uhh don’t know? gotta be one or two?
19. do you have a crush on a mutual?
don’t think i know anyone well enough for that haha
20. tags?
@deepwoundsandfadedscars @set-phasers-to-whump @appy-polly-loggies @99point9percentwhump @pythagoreanwhump @adrenaline-whump @whumpadoodle @whumpgalore if you want, and anyone else who does!
#tag things#this was fun and interesting#finding out i made my first blog in 2012 is uhhh well it explains a lot lol#it was weird hipster stuff first then one direction and then full blown supernatural#yeah my photography insta is sphz_photos btw and mortal ghost on spotify cause i really dont post at all on these sideblogs

tag game
Thanks for tagging me @tinnike
It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these posts. I’m also in the middle work, bored to death so this is a good distraction.
1. Why did you choose your URL? My URL is a part of a lyric from the song Panic Station by Muse. I adore Muse and this particular lyric always sounded like it could be a good name for a blog.
2. Any side blogs? Nope, none.
3. How long have you been on tumblr? Oh man! I had to go through my archive to see how long I’ve been on this hellsite and I’ve been here since January 2012. Does that make me one of the OG tumblr users? I’ve been on and off though, there was long period of time when I was completely off tumblr. I usually pop back when I’m obsessing over something in particular.
4. Do you have a queue tag? Nope, and I don’t know how it works despite having been here for so long. Never bothered to check.
5. Why did you start your blog in the first place? I don’t quite remember. At that time, I was part of a Muse community on LiveJournal and some folks there had tumblr. I was curious and wanted to check it out. That was the time I was properly introduced to what being in a fandom was all about.
6. Why did you choose your icon? Cos I’m in love with the man in my icon 🖤 My icon is a good way to tell what is ruining my life right now (in the best way possible). I adore Richard and Rammstein so it seemed fitting that I use his picture. He looks like a silver prince.
7. Why did you choose your header? Same reason as above, I guess. But I’ve been thinking about changing it to a more aesthetic shot of Rammstein or maybe something else entirely.
8. What's your post with the most notes? I have no idea. I used to post a lot of photo edits of people, musicians and movies that I like along with quotes. I used to be a graphic designer (UX designer now) so I loved playing around on Photoshop, editing photos and such. I remember one with Muse getting a lot of notes. So, maybe it’s that one.
9. How many mutuals do you have? I don’t know what this means. I guess this means how many I follow follow me? I don’t know that number.
10. How many followers do you have? 135
11. How many people do you follow? 103
12. Have you ever made a shitpost? Oh yes, I think I might’ve.
13. How often do you use tumblr each day? A lot! I’ve been coming back to tumblr a lot. Maybe it’s because I’ve gotten bored with Instagram. I’m on explore or even searching for a specific tag quite often. The content on tumblr is so unique and nothing can match its level of insanity 😆
14. Have you ever had a fight/argument with another blog. Who won? Nope. I barely interact with other users. Just reblog and enjoy the posts. Off late, however, I’ve been interacting with some lovely folks in the Rammstein fandom.
15. How do you feel about 'you need to reblog this' posts? There are times when I get influenced by those. Mostly because I don’t want any bad mojo because of my own subconscious.
16. Do you like tag games? Yes, I do! Please keep tagging me 😄
17. Do you like ask games? I feel like I might. But I’ve never tried it or never had enough followers to try it I suppose.
18. Which of your mutuals do you think is tumblr famous? I think each fandom has a few accounts who are popular, either for creating amazing gifsets or for the wikipedia of info they seem to have. Not really an answer but I don’t know what else to say.
19. Do you have a crush on a mutual? I guess the equivalent of a crush on tumblr is to feel seen or included in a group that likes the same things you do. At least that’s how I see it. So yeah, I guess I do have favourites and I like it when I can be part of their little circle.
Tagging some mutuals I guess 😛

Check In Tag!
Tagged by : @parkandblues (thanks, hun 🦋)
1. Why did you choose your url?
“lokisasylum”... I think i’ve explained this a lot, but “Loki” is a nickname I was given since my school days because I was a hardcore trickster & would get away with anything and everything. I also recall being VERY persuasive when caught until I got off the hook. While “Asylum” comes from an album by Disturbed (one of the bests I own).
2. Any sideblogs? If you have them name them and why you have them?
Yep, @arsenicbutterfly which is like an aesthethic/anime/cyberpunk/steampunk/grunge blog, and I also have @lokirasengan-fc which I originally created with the intention of moving all my fanart/artwork (also promote my Society6 & Redbubble shops) to in order to separate my main blog for BTS news/post and that one for artwork but none of my mutuals really followed me on it so its basically a dead blog >_>
3. How long have you’ve been on tumblr?
I think since 2010 which is the same year the (Disturbed) “Asylum” album came out.
4. Do you have a queue tag?
I don’t know, never really thought about it.
5. Why did you start your blog in the first place?
Hmm... I remember 2009-2010 to be a very chaotic years.
- the Death Note fandom went up in flames due to the MILLIONS of cases of cyber bullying (some ending in s**cide). I remember being part of this RP group within the fandom that I ended up quitting when I got admitted into Graduate School and because 2 of the oldest members ended up being actual PSYCHOS. (Which is why I also quitted roleplaying)
- Deviantart was rumored to either be shutting down or heading into a worse fate since they started censoring Mature Art/Literature/Fanfics (I remember all the artists who had their 20something chaptered fics and comics OBLITERATED off the site without a reason). So many people left DA for other blogs and I remember thinking the same, that I needed to migrate elsewhere. I tried 2 new social medias that eventually disappeared with less than a year of existence and then there was tumblr with had apparently been created for that very purpose (as a refuge for artists & people in general who were disappointed or got screwed over by the system). Which is funny because tumblr ended up the same way...
I still kept both my DA accounts active and I still post ALL of my artwork/photography there.
6. Why did you choose your icon?
I usually changed my icon frequently, but this recent/current icon is special to me, because it was made as a tattoo design for my Jikook Vampire fic (Forever, You Said) of a butterfly trapped between a Full Moon/New Moon. Its a matching tattoo between jikook (Jimin’s is a yellow butterfly inside a new moon, while JK’s is a blue butterfly inside a full moon). Meant to symbolize how both existed in the same timeline separated by two worlds with Jimin being a vampire and Jungkook being human, but their lives got intertwined since their first meeting.
7. Why did you choose your header?
[I legit had to go back and check what my header was ‘cause i forgot]
Because I mean... Its Park Motherfucking Jimin.
8. What’s your post with the most notes?
Like... this month? I think its the post about BTS as Flower Spirits from the HYBE museum.
9. How many mutuals do you have?
Few but I love them (same)
10. How many followers do you have?
635... damn, when did that happened?? WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE?!
11. How many people do you follow?
Like 14ish? Most of them were fanartists I really admired, but sadly most of them aren’t active or left for Twitter cause people kept coming to tumblr to steal their art and post it on twitter/instagram. So they moved to twitter in order to have some “control” over their works, but now people steal their art from Twitter and come to post it on Tumblr 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
And this is why I still post most of my art on Deviantart.
12. Have you ever made a shitpost?
I... I dunno, have I? Oo
13. How often do you use tumblr each day?
24hrs/7 days a week, I never really log out of tumblr. So I just wake up, eat breakfast/lunch (whatever’s available at 11am), do chores around the house, make sure my fam’s healthy, fed and comfy before I jump back into tumblr where I kill off most of the day and night. If I’m not here I’m on deviantart or Ao3.
14. Did you have a fight/argument with another blog once? Who won?
I usually avoid going to other blogs to argue per se because most of these blogs that shitpost for the sake of creating conflict are very young and very ignorant. They never see reason/logic even when you slap ‘em across the face with receipts. So I don’t bother.
HOWEVER, ain’t afraid to calling people out through my own posts from time to time without the need to name names. If it fits, it ships and if you offended that’s a YOU problem.
15. How do you feel about “you need to reblog this” posts?
I avoid them as much as possible. I’m like Taehyung on that note, I’m the type of person that if you try to force me to do something and I see no benefit (for me) in it? I won’t do it.
16. Do you like tag games?
Yes, they’re fun and break the monotony.
17. Do you like ask games?
I do... but no one ever interacts with me for them 🙃
18. Which of your mutuals do you think is tumblr famous?
Eehh.. maybe @utopiajeon , @debrenner , @aikimei
19. Do I have a crush on a mutual?
I mean I love them and think they’re awesome people, but I also think of them as the children I don’t plan on having in the future. LOL
20. Tags?
@utopiajeon @doctorcerberus @i-like-plain-rice @corkytheguar anyone who wants to do it!🌸
