An artist : Aw man! I saw my arts were reposted on Instagram. I’ve asked them to take my arts down but they ignored me.
Me : Say no more! Click this link, then click ‘fill out this form’. Fill the form and wait for about 1-2 days, the staffs will remove the image you were reporting from the reposter’s account :^)
I want to be a mysterious girl with a private online presence but I also need to tell everybody I cried at the DMV
as an ex-catholic it’s very funny to see ‘catholic convert’ in people’s bios it’s akin to running out of a burning skyscraper and passing someone heading on up to the top floor
i'm a failure
I'm gonna try to not use tumblr for a couple days until i get my shit together
this is what hatsune miku wears normally
my biggest issue with tiktok is like…yes as a 25 year old i am going to find teenagers inherently annoying so whatever. but that doesn’t mean teenagers shouldn’t have the opportunity to connect with each other and share content and explore media etc etc. HOWEVER i think tiktok sets an insane and dangerous precedent of having your Actual Face And Voice in these posts that are ultimately pretty publicly accessible to anyone. like, teenagers deserve to have spaces in which they can be cringey and embarrassing and weird and nerdy but for everyone’s sakes it should be fairly anonymous…i shudder to think of the world in which every unhinged thing i ever posted about glee or sherlock or hp or whatever had my dumb little 14 year old face attached to it for anyone to see over a decade later.
i have keiji brainrot rn so i did a pose study! Pose referenced from @nitsuke-plague! speedpaint in rb’s!
been listening to creepypastas while i draw…..
for Scarlet and Violet’s gimmick, I would like to propose something called hattenizing. When used in battle, Pokemon gain a special “hattenized” form which is just their regular form but with a sick hat to wear. this changes absolutely nothing and is wholly pointless. I will not be taking questions
no “carrd.” you learn things about me based on what you can piece together from the vague details of my life I disclose in rare moments of vulnerability

I like how tumblr has a liittle icon that shows that you're mutuals with someone and if you hover over it it tells you how long you've been following each other that's so cute why did no one tell me about this
I’m thinking about getting a hamster and naming it after #hatsune miku. Sound off in the replies if this is a bad idea.

honestly i hate posts like this, they’re so condescending and also just. incorrect?
tumblrs algorithm doesn’t work like instagrams, true, but like… the amount of reblogs a post gets doesn’t really factor into whether it gets promoted onto other peoples dashes or not? unless you’re talking about reblogs as like, a direct way of spreading to more people, which only really helps if you have a TON of followers to see said post and potentially reblog it. whether or not a post takes off on this site can be extremely random, as people who’ve made unexpected viral text posts probably know.
the truth is, tumblr is just a pretty bad place to promote art. You can’t really game the algorithm with popular tags like on tiktok or instagram, because tags on this site are used for categorisation rather than trends. You can hope to be randomly featured on someone’s for you page or suggested posts, but most people don’t look at that or actively block them. if it’s fandom art you might gain a small amount of interest with fandom tags, but original art is way harder to get popular on here. instagram is still better in that regard.
like i said, the best way of getting a lot of notes on here is to be reblogged by a popular blogger with a lot of followers, and the chances of that happening (unless you’re already popular yourself) is slim unless you beg. Blaze seems like a waste of money since it’s random who your post will actually be shown to.
Anyway my point is: stop guilt tripping tumblr users for liking posts and not reblogging them. people can use this site in any way they want, and you have to accept that sometimes people don’t want to reblog something. this is fine. a reblog gives you 0 dollars. a like also gives you 0 dollars. commissions posts fizzle and die on this site, as does fundraising for those in dire situations. if you really are desparate to make money from your art, you have to realise that trying to do so on tumblr is a terrible way to go about it. make an instagram page, a facebook page, try to get some freelance work outside of the internet. it’s hard to make money from art.
it’s hard to hear for a lot of people it seems, but random users not reblogging your posts isn’t why you’re broke. and it’s not because they don’t know how this site works or how to use the reblog button. posts like this are so condescending and unnecessary.
and i say all of this as an artist who posts on tumblr and struggles to get reblogs so it’s not because i hate artists and want them to die. it’s just how this site works
