Every Page In This Book Is Like A Kick To The Gut, But It's Also Validating My Experience So Much. Its

Yippeeeeeeee 🎉

Being on tumblr is fun because you get to meet people who are like yeah I wanna be punk but also I don’t want to give up Harry Potter, it’s too special to me, also I’m poor so I shop on Temu, and my art skills suck so I would rather buy my patches on Amazon, also I don’t thrift because they never have anything that I like or that fits me, so I’d rather just buy it from Hot Topic, and-

hot single dad in your area

sorry just dumping more messy speeddoodles of them bc they're in my brain 24/7. i'm sending kisses to everyone drawing them so beautifully but my only contribution to the jazterwave agenda rn is as always just being insane </3

wow i knew like none of this, thanks more experienced tumblr people 👍

to those of you who are moving here from tiktok, from someone whos used both tiktok and tumbr for years...

1. DO NOT censor your posts

dont censor sex, abuse, suicide, dont censor it. we dont have censors like tiktok does, you wont be banned for talking about these things and tagging them properly helps people avoid them (also, we dont have shadowbanning here)

2. we dont really have an algorithm

you follow who you follow, and you see posts from who you follow or what you search. the 'for you page' is basically useless here. this also brings me to my next two points

3. dont crosstag

we get it, on tiktok you have to crosstag for reach, but thats not really a thing here. just tag your posts properly (also posters often leave more info about the post in the tags!! and when you reblog stuff you can leave your own notes in the tags, kind of like the old "repost comments" on tiktok)

4. dont expect to go viral/be famous

"viral" isnt really a thing on here (at least not for the average blogger). your posts will probably get 2-10 likes and you wont get nearly as many followers than on tiktok. thats just how tumblr is

5. blocking is your best friend

tiktok is VERY discussion based, and while tumblr is much more discussion based than other social medias, its still not a good place for ragebait/discourse. dont interact, itll make your experience worse in the end, just block and move on

6. you cant go into someone elses house and start rearranging their furniture

this is tumblr, not tiktok. dont diss old tumblr users for how they use the site or try to change them, thats like going into someone elses house and trying to rearrange their furniture. we've been here longer and we're familiar with the site and its culture, either find your niche, adapt, or find a different app

the best cheerleader ever :)

i had to make my vision become a reality
