I may or may not have squealed in delight when I saw him. Look how perfect he is! He's literally flawless. Adorable. Gorgeous. Wonderful. Resplendent. Incomparable. The incarnation of loveliness. *dies* (yes I do this every time I see Lord Diavolo whether he's in a stunning new outfit or not)

....Alrighty then.

Michael: "The demons are wicked"

The demons in question: would rather risk eating Solomon's nuclear waste-esque food than hurt his feelings by telling him his cooking sucks ass

Thanks for the tag, Michi! *grudgingly refrains from lecturing you for talking about yourself like that because what's the point you already know how lovely and fascinating I think you are*

Three fun facts about me would be...

1 ❣ ~ I'm almost eighteen years older than my youngest sibling.

2 ❣ ~ Whenever I find a new song I really like, I need to listen to it on repeat for three days straight or I will cease to exist.

3 ❣ ~ I have literally zero IRL friends because I have the social skills of a very pretty, very useless rock in person. Everyone should just communicate with me online, I'm much less awkward here.

@uppastthejelliclemoon tagged me in a prompt where I mention 3 fun facts about myself and tag 7 people!  Thank you, dearie!!

1. I have a collection of Lord of the Rings/the Hobbit memorabilia, including: a six-movie extended edition set of the LOTR and Hobbit films; a foam Sting sword; a replica of Thorin’s Map; hobbit-footed slippers and a plush of Bilbo my mom hand-sewed for me for Christmas; additionally, I also have a copy of The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, The Silmarillion and a Tolkien biography on my bookshelf

2. I once went kayaking with my family in a bioluminescent lake while on vacation.  My favorite part was when we paddled to the middle of the lake during nighttime and the stars were out.  I had never seen so many stars in my life, it was like we were in a planetarium!

3.  Singing is one of my favorite hobbies, and I have participated in many singing/performing arts events throughout middle, high school and college

Mutuals I tag: @bluemoonfantasiesiii @maidenofbagend @talisman975 @storyweaverofgondor @hilli98215  @roxycake  (I know I’m supposed to tag 7 people but it’s late rn, I’m tired and I can’t think of a 7th person XD)  If you’re tagged, feel free to join!

The Tumblr writing community is dying.

It’s something I’ve noticed over the past two years of using this site. It was gradual, imperceptible at first, something that most would brush off as a silly concern, or fault Tumblr algorithm for. While it’s true that Tumblr’s engine leaves a lot to be desired, I’ve noticed that even popular blogs have started to dwindle in terms of interaction or motivation. There could be a lot of reasons for this, but the biggest two I’ve noticed, experienced myself, and asked fellow writers about is this: (1) content being stolen, and (2) lack of feedback or interaction. I’ve never seen any logical person defend content being stolen, so I want to address point 2 instead.

Lack of feedback and interaction. I’m not saying this on my behalf so much as I’m saying this for friends and smaller blogs who have lost motivation to write. I was looking at my yandere writing blogs list the other day and noticed that a good majority of them no longer write. I usually update the list every few months, and by that point, more and more writers have stopped writing entirely. This isn’t a problem confined solely to the yandere fandom; in fact, there’s less writing blogs in general these days, especially ones that are active. I used to run a very popular BNHA blog with some friends, but that dissolved after our content was stolen and our followers stopped interacting as much. Out of our 8,500 followers, we hardly got 0.015% notes (~128 notes) on an average post. Tumblr is to blame for the lack of eyes seeing our posts, for sure, but that also means that at least 128 people saw one post and didn’t leave a comment or ask. We were considered a big blog; imagine what it’s like on a small blog.

My friend recently made a post that summed this up perfectly: 

“I’ve seen people say “Be grateful that people even lurk on your page.” and, while I get the message they’re trying to say, it’s more dismissive and hurtful in my opinion. Like you’re saying, “Oh your writing is mediocre, you should be grateful people even LOOK at it.”

Me personally? I’ve heard the argument that AO3 is a better place to post fanfics, and while that might be true, I’ve had friends experience firsthand the lack of interaction there too. I’ve heard the argument that interacting with some writers is intimidating (me included). I’ve heard that argument that followers might be too shy to interact. I’ve heard the argument that writers should write for themselves and not for views / likes / reblogs / etc, and while that’s ideal, it’s not sustainable for everyone. What works for one writer won’t work for another, but you know what will? Interaction.

That comment or ask that took you 2 seconds to write? We remember it. That reblog with the compliments in the tags? We remember it. Every single ‘named’ anon we get (heart anon, sunflower anon, etc)? We remember them. And the best part is? It’s actually easier to do these things on Tumblr since you have the option to send anonymous asks or make a sideblog specifically for reblogs! Trust me, whether the lack of interaction is the cause of a lack of motivation or what have you, every writer appreciates feedback (don’t be shy to offer some critique or compliments) or even a simple keyboard smash with some emojis. Even sitting down for 5 min a day per week to comment on your favorite writers’ new pieces makes a huge difference. Personally, since Tumblr’s activity feed is beyond terrible and I have over 1,500 posts, I don’t always see new reblogs or comments on my content; asks though? Always see those, can never go wrong with those. If you don’t want to reblog or leave a comment, then you can never go wrong with an anonymous ask. 

As my wise friend says: writing is an art, and in order to improve that art, we need other people’s eyes to see what we don’t.

For the sake of every writer (past, present, and future) on this platform, please share this post.
