First Time Tumblrer - Tumblr Posts

I'm still learning how to Tumblr because this is my first go around, so if I ever do something wrong, or could do something better, please tell me kindly and I will do my best to improve =)

Being clear with me like things stated in this post works best, because if i need to read between the lines, I just see zebra stripes and no message 🙃

here’s a little comparison for people who say engagement hasn’t gotten that bad and anyone who complains is ungrateful.

these are two posts from my first go round on tumblr circa 2014-2017, my most popular gifset of all time

& a text post

notice how the ratio is about even on likes to reblogs?

here’s from this go around, my most popular gifset

and my most popular fic

do you see how that’s discouraging?

i love being on this site. i love the little community i’ve found and the people who follow me and the mutuals i’ve made friendships with and the mutuals that i’m still getting to know. i love it. but at a certain point it’s hard to justify spending so much time on works that get bad engagement.

reblog, comment, send asks. without them, this site doesn’t work.
