OH FR? I THOUGHT I WAS BEING TASED AGAIN!!!
Very Brief Guide to [tumblr], for Reddit refugees
Shit You Must Do Right Fucking Now:
- Change your profile picture, blog header, and title to something other than the defaults. Do it right now. You will be mistaken for a bot otherwise, and blocked.
- Go into Settings -> Dashboard, scroll down to Preferences, and turn off the options in the picture. This will get rid of most of the algorithmic stuff.
- Turn off Tumblr Live. You have to snooze it once every 7 days for some stupid reason. It's hosted through another company and will steal your data if you use it.
- Go to your blog settings (under the little person menu) and turn off these two settings:
- Turn off infinite scroll (lags the site) and turn on timestamps on posts, in the same menu as Preferences.
Basic Features of the Site:
- Reblogs drive the entire site. If you'd upvote something on Reddit, you'd reblog it on Tumblr. You can add text, images, or tags to a reblog, but you're not required to.
- The dashboard is the equivalent to your Reddit feed, and contains the posts of all the people you follow, with the newest at the top
- You can send an ask to someone, and it'll appear in their askbox for them to answer. You can receive them too, or turn off the settings if you don't want.
- Tags aren't actually used for finding stuff (search function is dogshit), but are more for categorizing. People also talk in tags. Because Tumblr is weird, you can't use quotation marks (") or commas in them without fucking it up
- You can filter both tags and phrases under Account Settings; doing this will put a filter over a post that contains them, which you'll have to click through to see the post itself. Useful for avoiding hate speech or blocking out annoying stuff
- You can make polls in posts. Here's one now.
- Likes are useless. They literally do fuck-all except send a notification to the OP.
Stuff Tumblr Does That Other Sites Don't:
- Very old posts (I'm talking from like 2012) often circulate on this site. There's no such thing as a post being "too old" to reblog
- Blocking is highly encouraged; you can block someone for any reason. Even for just being annoying.
- If you and someone else are following each other, you are mutuals. Mutuals are fucking awesome and are treasured like friends. Mutuals are a thing on other sites but Tumblr treats em differently.
- You can screenshot someone's tags if you like them and add them to a reblog. This is called "peer review"
- Sometimes someone will find a blog and go through it and like/reblog a bunch of posts. This is totally fine and not "creepy" like it is seen as on other sites.
- Tumblr jokes often rely on Continuing The Bit and a "yes, and?" attitude. Goncharov is probably the best example of this.
- We are fucking infested with bots. They will either have totally blank profiles or be filled with porn. Block and report on sight.
- Censorship is pretty lax here. I can say "I want to brutally stab Elon Musk to death and watch him bleed out in front of a crowd" and nobody gives a shit.
General Etiquette:
- Don't try to do epic clapbacks here, you'll probably just get laughed at or blocked. If someone is bugging you or spouting bigoted bullshit, block them.
- Reblog art!!! Artists often struggle to gain traction on here; reblogging will give them a boost.
- Not every reblog needs a comment or tag in it
- You can go all out with tagging your stuff to organize it, or you can just leave it all blank. Someone might ask "hey, can you tag these posts as [x]?" and you can decide if you want to do that or not. It's generally polite to oblige, but "no" is still reasonable.
- Avoid discourse like the plague. Filter it, block people who start it, scroll past it when you see it. Just don't get involved in it. Ever.
- Don't put fandom tags or jokes on someone's posts about serious matters or personal shit
- You're responsible for curating your own dashboard; if you complain about constantly seeing stuff you don't like, that's probably on you. Don't be afraid to unfollow.
- Follower count doesn't matter much here and you don't have to make yours known if you don't want to.
- Reblog, don't repost. Reblogging keeps the credit and doesn't "steal" engagement like Twitter retweets.
- If someone likes something a LOT, they might reblog it like 30 times in a row. This is normal
- Having a post blow up is actually kinda a bad thing, since it floods your notifications. There's a sort of in-joke about how having a big post is awful and people jokingly try to stop their own posts from blowing up, often in vain.
Tips:
- Get XKit Rewritten if you're on desktop, it's a really helpful extension
- In the little drop-down menu next to the 'Post now' button you can either save a draft, schedule a post, or add it to your queue. The queue lets you post things in order at a certain interval, which you can change. It's good for spreading stuff out over time.
- You can use Shift+R to quickly reblog stuff and Shift+Q to queue!
- Filter your notifications under Activity - you can also see some neat graphs
- Find each other! If you want your old Reddit communities to stick together, seek out other refugees and follow them.
Have fun on [tumblr], everyone!
i was trying to collect more shitty ms paint doodles we all use and vibe with and then i realize i also have ms paint and can just MAKE some
Honestly the 4th one is me everytime I see something so cute, I could die.
zenos is the funniest ffxiv character because he was given a second chance at life with no expectations, royal duties or imposed burdens, free to lead a perhaps self-fulfilling future by making different, wiser decisions after discovering the euphoria the world can actually offer after all, and he said lol fuck that actually ! hijacked an elezen, stole a hilariously small copter, then proceeded to do the exact same things but worse. dopamine deficient king
Honestly? He set a goal, and by god, did he fucking COMMIT.
my entire education has been a tremendous waste of time
Dear god, I would learn so fucking much more if I had a teacher like Temmie.
my (albeit very few) 小花仙 posts are gaining a moderate amount of traction, and i am SO here for it :DD
if you haven't heard of 小花仙 (flower fairy/flower angel) before, then welcome! you are getting to learn more about this magical girl cartoon!
for a bit of background, 小花仙 (specifically the animations) was based on the online web game of the same name, which is currently updated and promoted by shanghai taomee, which is a gaming and animation company based in shanghai, china. thus, 小花仙 is one of a few taomee ips, alongside with 摩尔庄园 (mole's world/mole manor), 赛尔号 (seer), and 战神联盟 (universal force).
as for the premise of the animated adaptation, the main story follows a young girl from earth, named xia an'an, who is tasked to recover the spirits of many flower fairies, deities, and royalty, and to eventually save the flower fairy kingdom from evil! there is a lot to uncover from this story, but i wanted to save time by not spoiling anything further from this point.
the cartoon currently has seven seasons, with an eighth season in development, and one movie, titled 小花仙大电影：奇迹少女 (flower fairy: miracle girl), which released back in september of 2021. it also has multiple names, including 之四时花语 (four season flower language), which has been its current name since the fifth season.
i suggest that you check it out when you have time! the first six seasons are up on youtube through taomee's official channel, and i believe you are able to find the movie on there too!
This is sooo pretty! I gotta remember to check this out once I have more free time!

Things to Tell Voss, Vol. 1
It’s time to start making my backups on my adventure notes! This series is dedicated to my good friend, Voss, who I bother randomly to fill him in on my random escapades. If you’re reading this Voss, I just want you to know that MY BOYFRIEND HAS ABANDONED THE FFVII REMAKE AND THIS IS THE ONLY WAY I COULD TELL YOU!
And so we begin:
J (Boyfriend): Hey, do you have any toilet paper? Cause it’s the ass-crack of dawn!
In regards to going there:
J: I stopped when I went there.
J: STARRY, MY THUMBS ARE LIKE LIL’ HOOKS!!!
Me: WHAT is on THE RADIO!? All I hear about is PROSTRATES AND CONDOMS!
J: When life doesn’t give you lemons, you take a piss.
In regards to obtaining a new weapon:
Me: What problem? There is no problem!
J: Um, there’s a problem with something not being shot by my CANNON!!! *Shoots laser cannon*
In regards to obtaining a giant robot and then going to a residential district:
J: Wha- why is it following me!?
Me: BECAUSE IT LOVES YOU!
J: BUT WHY IS IT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FUCKING ROAD!? I DIDN'T AUTHORIZE THIS! I'M SORRY EVERYONE!
