Homura: Do you want them sweet or salty?

Kyoko: [holding Sayaka's hands] I want them like her...

Homura: We do not have ugly popcorn.

OMG U MADE THE AWESOME CHUUNIBYOU MADOKA FIC I COMMENTED ON AGES AGO ????

Yeah, that's me! I haven't been super active recently so I haven't advertised it much, but I've got two ongoing Madoka projects: But I don't want to be a chuunibyou!! and All the King's Horses, both Madohomu.

I'm a big fan of your work! We share your work on my writing Discord often because it's got the charming silliness of madohomu that we really enjoy.

(if you like that fic btw you should also check out @abyranss, their art is both inspiration for and inspired by my work! and they're cool)

hi ! long time fan of your work Koko :) i wanted to ask you what your experience has been like delving into each social media platform, trying to get a feel for each, and now settling on tumblr ? how would you compare each of them, and why do you feel that tumblr has been your best experience so far? thank you for your time <3

[really long post lol]

There are so many things going on in my mind that I want to be able to articulate into words as I read this question lmaooo.

To have a fuller understanding I've talked about quality over quantity of social media interaction here and here. To summarize, I did some reflecting after attempting to 'reboot my art accounts' earlier this year. I realized that attempting to spread myself thin doesn't make me happy and I should only focus on a platform that encourages meaningful feedback and thoughts from other people. To me, Twitter and Instagram was not a place for it due to the nature of its design and algorithm.

I prefer comments over numbers. Something that in my experience isn't super common on Twitter or Insta (unless you're a really big account, or your post blown up to a massive audience). Most interactions there start and end with a like, and perhaps if they are generous enough, maybe a Insta Story share or retweet. The stories are just plain, and it's not often one get's a quote retweet (if you have more qrts, then you are being ratio'd LOL). It's a numbers game. The only parameters you base your "success" on these platforms is through the amount of likes or retweets you have. I am not saying it is impossible to have a good experience on these platforms, nor saying it's impossible to get mutuals there. However, I personally did not feel that people are actively encouraged to actually say something about the artwork if the person isn't a mutual or someone they already know. One experience that put it into perspective was when an old FNAF painting I did got around 1,500 likes despite the account being new and bare. Flopped on Insta but blew up on twitter; it dawned on me how meaningless and based on luck these large numbers were.

Now, here is where tumblr kicked in! Tumblr was part of the social media 'i tried to reboot'. I know that the growth here can be long (the ban, and people left blah blah yeah), and honestly did not expect much from it. But, I channeled my familiarity with tumblr from 2014 and remembered: "hey! In the tags, guys". Posting and reblogging made me enjoy the "tag culture" of this hellsite—even WAY more than before! The "comments via tags" thing is almost a way to give your thoughts and prayers remarks without the expectation for direct social interaction. Some people prefer this over the actual comment section, and it makes them more comfortable to say something about the work! I value every reblog that has comments and tags. Being able to hear your thoughts about the piece, why you like it is 1000% better than tons of likes. I get to actually see why people interact with the post; I'd describe it as having a touch of humanity in the interaction. Actual quality!

This is inherent to Tumblr's design from the beginning. There were no likes on this site before. At its core, people must reblog. And with the whole craze back then on this site with fandoms and such, people just started blurting out comments via tags. Even when likes were first introduced, the number reblogs often out weighed the likes. Because tapping a singular button and ending it there doesn't actually show much appreciation! Being on a platform where the community is encourage to use the tags beyond blog organization is amazing. Input and thoughts, are valued here and I think that's pretty cool. I look at the type of interaction the platform can give, not its quantity. I had fun time here at 40 followers, am still having that same fun at 200+. Probably will be the same throughout! (hopefully)

At the end, this place is still social media and one's relationship with it should be monitored. All comments (good and bad) shouldn't go to your head too much. But, at the very least, Tumblr's design and community allows a bit more of a humane touch when interacting with someone's work.

In terms of design though, I like that tumblr allows for different types of media (videos, audio, image sizes, long posts, asks + answers). Its archival system and the ability to open different blogs is also cool. Customization and markups are really nice! I love how personalized this place can be.

Hopefully this answers your question, and is comprehensive enough LOL . Again, this is my experience, and my journey. It may be different from yours. Just remember to go where you grow while having fun!

Mami: Madoka told me that instead of being sad, I should "go get it, girl." So I'm going to go get it, girl.

Sayaka: Get what?

Mami: Unclear. I'll get everything, just to be safe.

👑 THE END OF VIOBEARR 👑

dear friends, i'm officially retiring as viobearr after 6 long years of posting my art online. i know it sounds crazy, but i promise i've thought this decision through. i honestly just want to stop centering so much of my life around social media. i may or may not come back in the far future though, who knows. there's so much more i want to explain, but all you need to know is that i achieved my dream of becoming an artist and that's all that matters. i seriously can't thank you guys enough for all the love and support you have given me these past years. love you so much. feel free to unfollow (or softblock if we're mutuals) now that i'll be inactive, no hard feelings at all! take care always! - viobearr👑🐻

💌 for friends who want to keep in touch, add me on discord (viobearr) and dm me anytime!

announcement

ive been posting art online for 5 years now, ever since i was 13. i grew up with all these sites, and saw how much the user interface, algorithm, and community itself has changed. its so different now. i think ive finally lost the initial spark of interest i had when i first started posting. i barely have the motivation to even go online to interact with my mutuals anymore either. im sorry. i think its time for me to properly "move on" from the past, and embrace the future of my content. im going to focus on streaming on Twitch (twitch.tv/viobearr) doing whatever i want for whoever wants to watch, and let go of all the obligations i feel from trying to maintain all my art accounts on every social media platform. i will still post art and doodles when i can, but it wont be my priority anymore. thank you all so much for supporting me and my art. thank you for all the friends ive made on here, instagram, and even discord. it truly does mean everything to me, and i think you guys are the fucking coolest. youre free to unfollow if youre no longer interested in my content. otherwise thank you for sticking around to see the next chapter of @viobearr !

#vio.txt #this is copy pasted from my caption on insta. you guys on here deserve to know about this too #thank you for all the support :")
