The Unspoken Rules of Tumblr

As explained by someone who joined around 2019

Tumblr for all intents and purposes is not like other social media websites. Think the “I’m not like other girls” but they are not like other girls and it’s for the better. Having lurked around different social media platforms for years, I picked up on the spoken and unspoken rules that make this website more bearable than other ones. So here’s a list that will be important to new users.

Block but do not engage. Yes the rule that is understood by much of the user base and I think actually is one of the reasons why fandoms here are actually not that bad. If you remember any rule off this list, make it be this one. Why is this rule so important? Because flame wars often don’t change minds and it just creates a toxic environment. If you find someone that infuriates you, don’t attack them and just block. If they are really bad and pose a threat to people, collect evidence and do a warning post explaining why that person is dangerous but still block them.

Everyone here is a clown, even the famous ones. There is no superiority here. The number of followers you have often connects to how much of a clown you are. Now being a clown here isn’t always bad, many famous ones here make people’s days with their posts, but it’s not a contest here. In fact, fame is often considered a curse and once you have engrained yourself into the collective unconscious, you will mainly be remembered for why you became a famous tumblr clown.

Please hide your likes and follows. Don’t know how that started but it’s a thing here.

Likes do nothing, instead reblog. If it doesn’t fit the theme of your main blog, make a side blog for your reblogs.

Use tags. Tags are key here for both as a blog runner and blog reader. It allows you to quickly sort through things and see what you posted.

You don’t have to censor words like die or sex. We instead have trigger warnings tags that people can specifically block out if they don’t want to see content with stuff like that.

You want to been seen and see cool things, the algorithm is not going to do that for you. Instead you have to actively seek out what tags and blogs to follow to get the content you want. It’s more human and unlike most social media you gotta interact with people. If your feed is negative, it’s likely due to who you follow.

Don’t have a blank blog, the obvious bot usernames, or default profile pics. We are so used to fighting bots that we will auto block because of these. Some bots if you just try to click their username will get you viruses so we are careful.

Never forget the tumblr roots. Superwholock while often thought long dead still has a lasting memory here. It’s the websites heritage. Also add Hannibal and My Little Pony.

There is no cringe here for the most part. X Reader writers are just as valid as the artists here. We are all clowns because we are on this site.

Be kind and remember, people are just as human as you.

This has been you guide to Tumblr! I hope you enjoy this hellsite as much as I have.

You know ever since Vol 7 got uploaded I was thinking about Hanae as a character. I find his lack of self confidence to be...well, really telling. Yet, when it comes to other people (Mei) he'll step up and defend them.

Putting manga spoilers just in case

This is a good example. When he got cornered, he didn't say a word. He was just gonna let it happen.

However when he was on a "date" with Mei...

Despite being visibly shaken and terrified, he stands up for her. (Not aware they weren't allowed to actually do anything to her). He wanted to protect her and keep her safe.

And he does this as Hana too with Shuumei.

and she tells Mei This...

This isn't simply a desire to protect, like Shuumei and others. Hanae doesn't protect people just because, nor can he hold his own.

He cares about other people- about Mei/Shuumei, moreso than himself, shown as he's willing to let himself get hurt so that (s)he's safe.

It's moreso a lack of self preservation rather than boldly defending/protecting someone.

#crossplay love: otaku x punk #hanae yuuma #tbt yujiro never speaking up against koichiro until he spoke trash abt aizou then lost his shit #why do i always relate to chars that do this what does this say abt me as a person

i belong to the fringe group of tumblr users that has absolutely 0 desire to ever go to japan

#i would rather go to like mongolia or kyrgyzstan & get smashed off that kumis !!!!!!! SORRY that makes me sound like an ♯NLOG #but like for the most part i have Cuck Spirit wherein i always prefer to not be involved first & foremost & Observe to get my enjoyment #like when it comes to most things #i think there is a connecting idea there that i forgot to add Uhm but you get it right my line of thought... #i think that country & i are generally incompatible in multiple ways i love weeaboo women more than i even like it #only secondhand for me you know i am the opposite of a 'respectful otaku' if you catch my drift i only like their Materials so to speak #their Tangibles but also music most of all so not really but yes really... 0_0 #they are one of if not The most excellent curators & i am eating that up as evidenced by my imgblogposts

Yakumo and Levi stared at each other awkwardly. "So um do you like video games?" Said the envy demon. Yakumo shook his head. "Never played one before... do you like to cook or clean?" Asked the snake yokai.

"I've tried cooking before... it's ok." Levi then got an idea. "O they have cooking simulator games! Maybe you could try that?" Yakumo tilted his head "could be fun. Perhaps I can teach you to cook for Ash?"

"I mean I'd really like that! I don't know how I could help you with Jax though... sorry" Levi frowned looking sad. Yakumo panicked and started to tear up. "No no! Please Levi Sir. Please don't cry!" His spirit snakes were panicking as well.

(They are trying)

#everyone knows robooty for his otaku anime girl hetalia bullshit #but only true war veterans know how i get about American Cartoons #do NOT fucking talking to me about chowder or ohhh my god #i need to stop im already pacing the floors as i speak #when i used to indulge myself in this shit i was convinced i had bipolar disorder because when i let myself think about american cartoons i #start tweakin i wake up in cold sweats in the middle of the night i rock back and forth while sitting i become a freak #i exhibit all signs of mania its so bad i do not have bipolar disorder me thinks but i DO know that when i let myself start cartoon posting #i stop being normal. #I NEED YAOI I NEED TO GO BACK TO YAOI. NO MORE WATCHING REGULAR SHOW I NEED TO READ YAOI TO BE NORMAL

For my love of Gregory Violet you'd think I'd like Idia-

But like, He's my least favorite character??? Ironically because the angst he went through is like amazing story telling and I'm here for it. Just hate that such a good story is tied to him 😂😭

And I'm a greek mythology nerd with Hercules being one of my favorite Disney movies. I'm suffering-

#he gives me the vibes of anime creeps who took up the skirt pics of me at cons when I was younger. #like one is an emo boy and the other calls me a female and says girls can't like video games 😂😂😂 #i had an oc ship with him but cant do it cause ehhh #him and Floyd are a mixed bag for me #either they are written nice or i cringe #and they're both somehow super popular #like he's the total opposite of my type aka pretty boy flirts or athletes #the new season of BB announcement reminded me of some of my favorite boys #its giving boy no one talks to for good reason and you give him a chance and you realize why no one likes him #speaking from experience #i just find the over the top gamer or otaku cringe?? like im ehhh with Levi from obey me because NERD

Glotaku is coming to town soon, I'm so excited! Can't wait to get out and meet new potential friends and nerd out all night! Dancing, anime, video games, karaoke, and cosplay sounds like the best way to spend a Saturday night!

Now to decide what to wear...most likely will wear Sweet Lolita, or may wear a Sailor Moon inspired croptop and skirt combo. Decisions, decisions...

Might post pics on the day, stay tuned folks~

The group of demons looked at each other. All of them wanting to do their own thing but they had to discus things. "What would happen if we ran into other versions of ourselves?" Mammon asked. "The world would explode!!!!" Answered Levi. Satan sighed. "That is not possible. We can't explode." Lucifer huffed. "You are all idiots. You are not to try and mess with them. You don't know what would happen"

Asmo giggles "is there anyone more beautiful then me? I mean I think I'm more beautiful then myself? Wait that sounds odd." Belphie yawned "other me seems even meaner. I mean I don't have a problem with humans... as long as they let me sleep..." Beel got a great idea "I wonder if I could have a eating contest with myself!!!" Everyone turned to look at him and said no in unison. He frowned.

Diavolo smiled "meeting myself would be interesting. Definitely could learn more about myself!" Barbatos rolled his eyes. "No my lord. That is a bad idea."
