For anyone who needs to hear this today...

Dieter and I are just weighing in on some of the conversations floating around where people are feeling like they're not wanted here, or who feel like they might want to leave...

You ARE absolutely wanted here.

Whether you're a creator, reader, silent lurker. It doesn't matter if you have 1 follower or 10k. Whether you write one chapter every few weeks, or churn out fics on the daily.

This is a fandom, not a competition.

You. Are. All. Wanted. Here.

Tumblr, for want of a better analogy, is a crap factory of a website. 😝 It's gone down the pan in the last decade massively, and it's the complete opposite of what other social media platforms do, (in terms of likes and algorithims etc... you have to re-blog everything - not like it - here to get any traction) you get out of Tumblr what you put in, effectively.

No-one here is better than anyone else, we're all part of that big Pedro table and continuously squish up to make room for everyone. And if anyone isn't doing that, then they should be the one's to leave, not you.

I get it. I feel it too. I've contemplated leaving several times. Yeah. It's a hard place sometimes to try and make a tiny space of it your own.

☝🏻But remember, even the biggest blogs on here started off with zero followers and had to build their niche from scratch. Rome wasn't built in a day.

It takes time and effort. It might look like it's easy for others, but it really isn't. And I'm in no way a "big blog" in the slightest.

But I stay here doing my own thing, because ultimately, I love writing and creating - it makes me happy, and I love the sense of community here.

I get immense joy out of making my silly banners and posts, and having a giggle with like-minded people when Pedro shaves his beard off (🫠). I ignore the drama and focus on having a positive time here.

But I get that doesn't work for everybody. Sometimes it's hard to tune all the fuzz out, right? It's massively overwhelming some days on here - I feel ya, bub.

The level of talent in this fandom is incredible, but it often leaves you feeling like "where do I begin?" Or "who do I talk to?" And "how do I talk to someone without coming across as weird?" And "how the hell do I re-blog everything and reply to comments and remember to answer DM's and Asks, whilst remembering to update my WIP and see what my fav blogs have posted, and catch up on that fic I like..? 🤯

In short, you can't.

You simply can't do everything.

And you shouldn't try to either as that's when you'll burn out and when things start feeling overwhelming. Then your enjoyment wanes and then that's when you feel like you want to give it all in.

Just breathe.

The best advice I can give (and I'm no expert!) is to curate your own experience here as best as you can.

Eliminate that overwhelming feeling to make your Tumblr time and space enjoyable.

Make it work for you and your needs.

Some easy things you can do that might help:

Update your notifications - I personally filter out the likes, otherwise I find I miss notifs like new followers or comments etc... Tumblr can be glitchy as hell too, so by removing the likes, you can see all the stuff you don't wanna miss. To turn them off, go into your activity (app version) and hit custom, scroll down to custom again and then untick likes:

There's a new option now to subscribe to specific blogs you like and adjust your home feed settings to that. You click on the blogs themselves and add them to get notifications and then they'll appear under Blog Subs on your feed. You can then switch through feeds to just see the blogs you've added, rather than everyone you follow. It's then easy to switch between feeds:

Limit your time here - if it starts to feel overwhelming, take a break! That's your brain telling you that you might need it. We'll all still be here when you come back. Don't compromise your peace of mind or happiness for the sake of scrolling for hours.

If you're a creator and have writer's block etc... again, take that break! Whether it's a day or a week, or a year. Take as long as you need. Those that are worth it will still be here and will wait patiently for you. Don't put unnecessary pressure on yourself. And if anyone does pressure you, block them.

Forget the numbers. I know, I know, it's easier said than done. Of course we want re-blogs and engagement, it's why we're here and putting our work out there. We wouldn't do it if we didn't want that engagement. But don't let the numbers be the main reason why you do it, otherwise your expectation can often be met with a harsh reality when it doesn't go how you think it will. Do it because it makes you happy, first and foremost. There will always be someone who looks forward to what you put out there.

If you want engagement, you need to engage back. This community survives and thrives on sharing. Re-blog everything you like. Re-blogging is the number one must on Tumblr. It's how the site works. Likes are lovely, but it's simply just a book marking feature here, which is essentially useless as your likes get pushed to the bottom of your like pile the more you like things. RE-BLOG EVERYTHING. By re-blogging you can also use tags so you can easily find things again. Liked that Frankie Morales fic you read last week? Re-blog it with the tag 'Frankie Morales' for example, and then you can search your own blog to find everything you've ever tagged with 'Frankie Morales'. You can even schedule re-blogs in advance too. You can't do any of that with likes. You'd have to scroll through every single like you've ever liked to find it again... and ain't no-one got time for that. If you're someone who is asking for engagement, you need to be prepared to give it back. I repeat, RE-BLOG EVERYTHING!

"Yeah, but if I re-blog everything, my aesthetic will be compromised, or my blog will be bulky and I might annoy everyone by appearing on their feed too much..." These are all valid concerns, but you can simply make a side blog specific for re-blogging things if you want. Whatever way you choose to do it, re-blog, re-blog, re-blog!

Be bold and reach out using DM's and ASK's. I don' think there's a single writer or artist out there who doesn't like getting a comment or a message complimenting their work. And we all love to chat about it, and that's an easy way in and to make friends too! It can be daunting, but I assure you if you're polite and kind, people will want to engage back with you. We all have one thing in common here at least - Pedro! 🥰

Sometimes, it can feel like everyone has their own friend groups or cliques and it can be hard to find your own community within a community. Almost everyone I engage with on a daily basis here, new and old users, are some of the nicest, kindest people I've spoken to. You really have nothing to be afraid of. They're just like you - they want to talk and make friends.

These are just some tips that I've found have worked for me on my own Tumblr journey with quelling that overwhelming feeling. And I hope they can help you in some way, especially if you're contemplating being here right now.

You might feel that what you put out there isn't appreciated because it doesn't get the notes or engagement you want, but I promise you, there is always someone who you have touched with your words and work.

Be kind to yourself and know that you really are a valued part of this fandom.

YOU. ARE. STRONGER. THAN. YOU. THINK. 🖤

Do you. Then do Dieter.

Please remember to do things that make you happy. It is okay to walk away from something that used to excite you but no longer does. It’s okay to take a break from something that you don’t feel up to at that time. It’s okay to not know when you’ll come back to it. Just focus on the things you are passionate about, even if those passions don’t last forever. You mustn’t torture yourself, my dear. Just enjoy life since we must live it. It’s okay to do so. You are not obligated to stick with anything.

bears in trees. what good times we had, and all the love from the fans pours through my veins. y’know, if i could, i would travel to every city to see you perform, but alas, i have $2.61 in my bank account.

what i really want to say is this: Truth is, you are stronger than you think. those words have stuck with me since And Everybody Else Smiled Back came out, and i got those lyrics tattooed on my arm when i turned 18. i do plan on more tattoos featuring bears in trees, but for now, i’ll stick with the one i have. i remember being in treatment and only being able to listen to the radio so i forgot about the silly little band i love. and then i found my discord account and remembered the band i loved so dearly, only to find out the fanbase had shot up so much! congrats, and thank you.

They are not afraid of who you are, they are afraid of who you could be And it scares them. Cause they know that once you realize it, then there is no stopping you.

Speedrun/Time Travel AU masterlist

#speedrun au #one piece #time travel au #op fanart #sabo #monkey d. luffy #portgas d. ace #asl brothers #time travel aus are my favourite trope for any fandom's fanfic #but this especially is why i want it for one piece #because I needed ace to die in canon. luffy NEEDED to get that wake up call and his whole crew NEEDED badly to get stronger #but ace is so much more than just a plot device for luffy... he was a person who was loved by so many people because #he made so many people happy #if luffy and his crew travelled back in time... they wouldn't need to worry anymore about their strength #Ace could live you know.... #He could meet sabo while he was an adult #sabo could meet ACE while he was an adult #ALSO SIDE NOTE BUT SABO ALSO REMEMBERS THE TIME TRAVEL SHENANIGANS!!! but def not as well as any of the strawhats #i think the thing he remembers most is what he felt when he regained his memories in the first timeline #u guys... this comic was so vivid in my mind i HAD to draw it out... like i was planning on doin other time travel au comics before #but like I HAD to draw this because i had such intense ASL feelings #I tried to think if Ace would just start cussing sabo out cause like WHY DID YOU LET US THING U WERE DEAD ; - ;??? WHY DIDNT U CONTACT US?? #but i think ace is really tired... like he's been worrying about luffy... and suddenly his brother starts uncharacteristically start #full out bawling in his arms... and he's really confused right now but both of his brothers are here and they're both crying #so there's really only one thing he can do #anyways i hope u enjoyed the comic #op spoilers #<- oops forgot to add that my b

You can wizardsplain at a bard, but watch out

#they also have the Finger of the Annoying Bitch #stronger than any counterspell 😔 #everyone talks abt wizards having rivalry with clerics and warlocks and sorcerers #but nobody talks abt how wizards and bards are the 'i went to school and now it's everyonne else's problem' classes #bg3 #bg3 art #baldur's gate 3 #my art #oc: hiraeth #gale of waterdeep #gale dekarios #anyway can you tell which one of these i use references for and which ones i don't #also idk what a consistent art style is i just do whatever i think is funniest at the moment

Bukan satu dua kali kan kita merasakan kekecewaan? Berkali kali, bahkan gatau seberapa gabisa kehitung merasakannya. Nyesek? Pasti, karena memang ada faktor pengharapan disana. Itu wajar gapapa kok. Tapi satu hal yang mengingatkanku tentang efek sebuah kekecewaan.

"Dada kita itu sesek tergantung pada kelapangannya, bukan pada masalahnya. Ada orang dengan masalah yang sepele udah bikin dia nyesek, ada orang yang masalahnya luar biasa besar dia masih bisa mengendalikan dan biasa aja. Kenapa? Perbedaan ini bukan pada masalahnya, tapi yang membedakan adalah 'syarhus shadrnya' lapang dadanya" -Ust. Hanan Attaki

Maka dari itu, perlu banget kita selipin "Ya Allah, engkau yang Maha Tahu akan segala takdir terbaikku. Menurutku yang hanya sebatas makhluk, ini yang terbaik tapi belum tentu menurut-Mu, yaa rabb. Berikanlah rasa ridho dan penerimaan yang luas untuk segala ketetapan-Mu supaya kotak kecewa hamba tidak meluap."

Hey you.

Yes, you.

You, the perfect, beautiful creature reading this right now. You.

I just want to tell you something. Scooch closer. Take my hand.

You are more than enough. You are exactly where you are meant to be right now.

I know it's been a struggle.

I know that you've been hurting.

And I know that you're trying your best.

I've been exactly where you are right now, trust me, and let me tell you; you're doing so fucking well. Even if you don't feel like you are.

And that's okay. You're okay.

And no matter what, if there is no-one else in the world that can, or will, tell you this, I'll always tell you.

I'll always have your corner.

You are stronger than you think you are.

I love you.

You've got this, okay?

YOU. ARE. STRONGER. THAN. YOU. THINK. 🖤

Do you. Then do Dieter

More love with Dieter & Jett here

So You’re

getting a lot of what you wanted. You’ve wanted so many things and things are culminating for you to get em. You’re doing it and being better about certain (not all but certain) things you’ve wanted to do.

In yet, you aren’t happy right now? Are you?

And you don’t really know why. I’ve been happy with a cluttered room, not that my mind isn’t usually cluttered. You’ve had conflicts with others, it’s okay. Your support is within arms reach if you call for it. It’s plentiful too. And you’re so successful in paths that you’ve wanted to be in for the longest. Not completely, but man, is a vision lining up.

And you still aren’t happy.

Yeah, I’ve been slacking on my anti depressants. That could do a LOT with this, actually. Yeah, sleep has been mostly on night owl status. Yeah you haven’t been exercising like you should. But you’ve had other pillars taken from you an operated at a much better level. FELT at a much better level.

But now you don’t, and you don’t know why.

This depression shit is for the birds. You can just be completely together but some bullshit just happens that send you spiraling into a place that you didn’t foresee. And it’s so interesting because other small shit could happen and it be fine but just CERTAIN shit and BOOM. Right back to square one. Square run down and in the mudd. Crying for help while you isolate yourself. Cause you know your patterns. With this impending doom comes isolation and with isolation, the rest of the wheels fall off. The pretty soon you’ve been living in squalor for 3 days barely eating, barley sleeping and feeling miserable while you do little to own up to your responsibility.

Shit can turn so quick.

At least I can recognize that it’s happening and try to break out of it, the best I can anyway. I’m exercising this week, and doing what I can to make sure my knee is in a better place so I can exercise more freely. I’m hanging out during the week and going to hang out this weekend if I can too. I need the interaction to stop myself from retreating since it’s much easier to avoid online. I’m still going to stick to streaming and posting so that I can be AROUND in some way. Any way. To make myself feel, if only slightly, better.

I want to feel better. I deserve to feel better.

I hope I have the inner strength and discipline to not fall into a deeper place. Stick to what keeps you afloat Boredy. I need you to remember to hold on.

#i love you #you are stronger than you think #you can beat depressions ass #you can beat anxiety's ass #you can be ADHD's ass too #and if not beat them #learn to not let them control you #maybe these words ring more hollow today #but #it's true #somewhere deep inside #you know it is #never lose that hope #or at least remember that you can always find it again

(read left to right) I had to make a comic version of this moment form the fanbook because it's such a funny image

Fantranslation is by @wireddd1 on twitter!

#ritsu plays ness because he's a special psychic boy #mob plays donkey kong because he is the buffest character in melee by virtue of being a gorilla and also mob likes monkeys #<- I know gorillas are not monkeys #okay I am looking at the character renders again and captain falcon is pretty buff too but a gorilla would still rip him apart #I am looking up gorilla strength and it says a fully grown silverback is stronger than 20 human adults combined #art #fanart #comics #mob psycho 100 #mp100 #I think if they played ultimate mob would still play donkey kong but ritsu would switch to lucas because he is tortured #I heemed and hawed over whether I should draw a fake game or melee [adjusting for when mob psycho would be published] but I went with melee #because I love smash bros and it's important to draw what you think is important to you #also I could use donkey kong hitboxes as refrence instead of making up my own moveset for 9 panels
