HE DESERVES IT SO MUCH!!!! 😍😍😍
Y’all, please welcome SAG AWARD WINNER PEDRO PASCAL!!! OMG!
🫠🫠🫠
neck + chest appreciation post ✨️
This sounds like fun! Count me in! Love prompts 🙌
🌷 Who's up for a creative challenge? 🌷
If it's not apparent already, I love flowers and I love the Pedro Boys! So, what could be more fun than combining the Pedro Boys and flowers in a creative challenge? 🌷🪻🌻
Perhaps Marcus brings you flowers on date night, Dave's scattered sumptuous petals leading you up to bed, you and Ezra get stranded on a planet with alien-esque florals, or you're showering sweet Javi G with his favourite blooms for his birthday... 🌷🪻🌻
Running during the month of May, I challenge you to write and share a fic - or fics - featuring any of the Pedro Boys and flowers. 🪻
You can also make mood boards or art if you're not a writer - or don't want to write - but still want to participate! 🌷
🌻 See below for the full challenge details! 👇🏻
The challenge deets:
Must feature at least one Pedro Boy - can be any character Pedro has played, no matter how popular. You can feature more than one Pedro Boy too, if you like.
Must contain flowers or plants in some capacity. 🌷🪻🌻 Can be the main feature of your story, or a background aesthetic. Florals, plants, succulents - you name it, you can feature any of them!
Can be as smutty or fluffy as you want! Hot, soft, gentle, fun, quirky - you've got freedom on whether you wanna write smut or not.
No word limit - you write as many words as you see fit.
Any Reader type! You can write in X Reader, original character or just the Pedro Boys engaging with one another. Any gender/race/size or physical ability of Reader is absolutely welcome too! 🌈 This is an inclusive house! 🙌🏻
Mood boards, video edits and original artwork is also welcome - but must feature a Pedro Boy and flowers, and must be your own creation.
No limit to the number of submissions - you can write more than one fic, or submit more than one artwork, but the Pedro Boys must be different for each submission.
Tag me in your work and use the #jettsflora&faunachallenge so I can add it to a Masterlist.
This challenge will run from 1st May - 31st May 2024 and I'll add works as they're posted.
☝🏻 Don't worry too much if you miss the deadline, life happens, and you'll still be able to submit your fic/art after the deadline. Just let me know. 🌷🪻🌻
🪻🌷🌻 And as a flowery bonus...
I will pick one piece of work submitted at complete random, when all the works are posted, and will send that person a bunch of flowers!* 💐
I hope you'll participate and have fun & I can't wait to see what you'll come up with! Would really appreciate a signal boost too - thankies 🖤
A-Z of Flowers Database Look up your flowers 🌷🪻🌻
*I can send flowers worldwide. In order to send them, I'll need a name & a delivery address. I appreciate it if you don't feel comfortable sharing that info with a stranger, however please rest assured those details will stay with me and only me. The recipient will be picked at random using a generator. If you have floral allergies, I can send a substitute little floral themed gift instead. 🖤
Boom! Did the thing! 😍
Scouts! Ready for some fun?
This weekend (weekends start on Thursdays around here because why not), pick someone in the fandom that you don't know yet and send them an ask with a get-to-know-you question and a friendship bracelet.
Don't know who to send an ask to? How about a fellow Scout from the Ranks page? They should be up for some fun!
Need a bracelet? Here's one you can use or you can make your own!
Aren't sure what to ask? Let me offer a few ideas but please feel free to ask your own question as long as it's work-safe (we save spicy until we get to know each other)!
Who is your favorite Pedro character?
What's your fandom origin story?
What's your go-to Pedro gif?
Have you been in a fandom before?
What's your favorite kind of fic to read?
What piece of Pedro media have you watched the most?
Are you Team Clean-Shaven or Team Facial Hair?
If you got lost in the woods, which Pedro boy would you want with you?
And once you've sent your ask? Claim your badge!
I need the practice with angst so count me in!

Woohoo! I have been craving ice cream like crazy lately!!!
Who feels like a weekend activity?
It's hot outside, and you know what would help? Ice cream!
And you know what's even better than ice cream?
AN ICE CREAM SOCIAL! And this is your invitation!
How It Works: Send a scoop of ice cream or a topping to 10 inboxes (or more). You can choose a flavor that you think that blogger would enjoy or a topping that reminds you of them, or just a favorite of your own! You may send it simply as a message or even as a photo, a graphic, or a drawing - follow your heart!
With each ask, include an ice-cream-themed question for extra fun - if you need ideas, there are a few options down below. And here is the link to our Ranks page so you can find friendly faces to socialize with - Scouts are always up for shenanigans!
The Ice Cream Social will run today through Sunday. On Monday, everyone can build their sundaes with all the scoops and toppings they've received and share them on their blogs (if you want! You know we don't like a lot of rules here!). And I'll post the Ice Cream Socializer badge for you to claim!
(Not a Scout but still want to play? AMAZING! Just reblog this post and let us know in the tags that you'd like to ice cream socialize, too!)
Questions:
Which Pedro boy would you want to share a sundae with?
If you were going to name a flavor after your favorite Pedro character, what would you call it?
Hot fudge or caramel sauce?
Which character always gets a double scoop?
How many toppings are too many on a sundae?
Cone or cup?
Root beer floats: yes or no?
Which Pedro boy is the messiest ice-cream eater?
Can’t wait to read these!!! Thank you much for including my stories ❤️❤️❤️

There you go! Let's get reading and reblogging! And I'll do part 2 at the end of July, so feel free to send me your fics as you post them this month! 🧡
I asked one of my best friends, @jay-zzle, if she would make a moodboard for the entire series of Parents to Lovers.

It’s always nice to get a reblog! ❤️
Tumblr Topic - The Importance of Re-blogging: Re-blogs vs Likes.
Hello lovelies,
I wanted to shed and share some info on re-blogging. Perhaps you're new to Tumblr and are not sure what re-blogging is, or means. 🤔
Or perhaps you're a silent lurker here, afraid to start re-blogging because you're not sure how or why you should.
Don't worry, I, and with a little reluctant help from Joel, (Dave has gone on a top secret mission 🤫) have you covered. 🖤
Sorry to interupt your coffee Joel, but we have work to do... chop, chop! 👏🏻
The Like Button ♡
☝🏻First of all let me just start by explaining that Tumblr is not like other social media platforms. The algorithims here are vastly different.
Where you may be used to pushing the like ♡ button over on Instagram, X/Twitter, TikTok etc..., to boost and share the things you like out to a wider audience, Tumblr's like function works very differently.
For a start, it doesn't actually mean you 'like' the post at all. It's simply a way of bookmarking the post.
And it doesn't boost that post to wider audience either.
You'll find the like button on the bottom of each blog post. Here it is circled:
So, what happens when I push the 'like' button, then?
When you hit the like ♡ button on Tumblr, that post is saved, or bookmarked, into your own like list.
Tumblr notifies the original blog poster (OP) that you "liked" their post.
That's it. 😐
That post then gets pushed to the bottom of your like pile each time you like something else. The more things you like, the more that post gets buried and forgotten about.
So, I shouldn't press the like button on Tumblr then?
Absolutely you should! Like I say, it tells the OP you liked it. And if you wanna bookmark things to come back to later, it's a great way of keeping track.
But... there is something else that's more important that you should probably do if you liked their post.
You should re-blog it. (And comment too, The Tumblr Trinity, but we'll cover comments another time.)
Okay, so what's a re-blog? 🤔
A re-blog is you sharing the original creator's post on your own blog. (Not by copy/pasting it into your own post, that's plagiarism, bub. That shit will get you killed. Joke, but it is a big no-no!) But a re-blog allows you to share the post whilst giving credit and recognition to the OP.
At the bottom of every post you'll see this continuing arrow symbol, or ouroboros if you will. 🐍 ('Cause an ouroboros depicts something forever continuing, and if you re-blog something, it's forever continuing... geddit? 🤪)
This is the re-blog button:
By re-blogging it, the algorithm on Tumblr pushes the post into all your follower's orbits and it will appear on their dashboard.
They'll see your re-blog and can either re-blog your re-blog themselves, or click on the OP's post and re-blog it directly from them.
Either way, the original content poster get's notified whenever someone re-blogs their post, as does the person who re-blogged it, if they re-blog from a re-blog - make sense? 🤪
If you simply just 'like' the post and do nothing else, no-one else is notified that you liked the post except the OP, and it goes to die a sad, lonely death at the bottom of your like graveyard. 💀
So, why is re-blogging better than just liking? If I like it, surely that means I like it, right?
Yes, if you like a post it tells the creator you like it, sure. But that's it. There's no other engagement there. It simply tells the creator "Joe Bloggs likes this." That's it. 😕
But by re-blogging the post instead, it tells the creator that "Joe Bloggs liked it so much that they wanna share it and see more from you, dude! Yay! Party in re-blog alley and everyone's invited, woo!" 🎉
You get the point. But it gives the creator that boost to share more of the content you like to see.
The more they share, the more you re-blog, and the more you re-blog, the more they share. Ouroboros, see? (And you thought it was just a snake eating it's own butt...)
🤓 Tumblr is a site that was specifically created for sharing the things you like through re-blogging. That's what makes it different to other social media platforms.
It's a place of engagement, making friends and building communities - all through sharing in the things you love.
If you want a silent and non-engaging platform where you don't have to get involved, then Instagram, X/Twitter etc... is probably the way to go...
But you're here on Tumblr for a reason, right?
Yeah, but if I re-blog everything I like, won't that be annoying? I don't wanna piss people off! 🫣
No. Let's get outta that mindset that sharing things you enjoy is annoying - it isn't.
And if anyone ever says to you to stop re-blogging or liking their stuff so much, then they're probably not understanding the whole point of engagement and sharing on Tumblr...
I guarantee you that if you re-blog something, no-one is gonna be pissed off at you, bub.
So, do I HAVE to re-blog?
Look, no-one is holding a knife to your throat demanding that you must re-blog everything-
Joel, chill my dude. We don't stab our chums here... 🙄
But creators don't share their work for it to be forgotten about or for no-one to engage with it. If we didn't want anyone to see our wacky shit, we wouldn't post it online.
Creators share their work to engage with their followers about it, especially in fandom communities.
Creators make art, GIFs, write stories, share thots thoughts, and share their medium with you so you can enjoy it and share it and get excited about your blorbos together, thus creating a fandom community. 🤝🏻
However, you are not obliged to re-blog or like anything if you don't want to.
We understand there are people who want to just remain silent and prefer to lurk. That's completely okay and creators should never bully you or put pressure on you to do so.
☝🏻It does/will upset us however if you ask/demand more from us when you don't bother to engage or share, FYI... so please bear that in mind. If you want more, show us by re-blogging our work.
We'll always encourage you to simply re-blog what you love, because we wanna share it with you and talk about it and be your friend, and squeal over that broad-shouldered man together. 🥰
So, if I like or re-blog something, how can I find it again?
If you simply 'like' something, you have to manually scroll all the way back through your like list to find it again.
Say you liked 1000 posts. That's a hell of a lot of scrolling you gotta do to find the post you liked, right? And ain't nobody got time for that! 😨
But, if you re-blog the post, you can add tags to it so you can then search for it and find it easily on your own blog.
For example, you re-blogged a cool post about Joel Miller...
Oh, hey Joel. We're talking about you, not to you... as you were, handsome.
You can tag your re-blog 'Joel Miller' when you post it. Then, you can use the search function on your blog, 🔎 type in 'Joel Miller' and every single post you've ever re-blogged using the tag 'Joel Miller' will be found and shown to you.
Ta-da! ✨️ No scrolling for bloody hours to find it.
☝🏻You can also queue up re-blogs if you're worried about continuously re-blogging.
Wait, "queue up" re-blogs? What does that mean? 😶
Say you found 12 posts of Joel Miller you like and want to re-blog, you don't have to re-blog them all at once, one after another.
You can queue them up by adding them to your queue to be posted a few hours, days, weeks, months, or even years apart.
Queuing re-blogs also keeps the original post circulating (ouroboros 🐍). And creators will often use queued re-blogs when creating content in bulk to save time and not to flood their followers with too much content at once.
☝🏻There's no limit to the amount of times you can re-blog a post too. So if you really love that post about Joel's, uh, bulge 😏 you can re-blog it again and again.
You can only ever like a post once though. Boo. 👎🏻
So, re-blogging is the way to go then, right?
Absolutely. It makes creators very happy.
And will also make your dash very happy too as when you re-blog something, Tumblr will suggest more content that's similar to it for you to enjoy.
So if you reaaaally like Joel Miller, (and who doesn't? 🫠) your whole dash can be filled with him! Bulge ahoy! 🍆🫡
He likes the sound of that really...
🗨You can also add comments to your re-blog too...
Wait, comments?? 🤯
Yep! You can free type in the space at the bottom of the original post, and the OP will see this and is able to respond to it by re-blogging again.
You can even have a whole conversation through re-blogs if you want to. And others can be tagged to join in too for even more fun mayhem! 🤗
So if you really liked that Joel Miller fanfic you just read, you can type your thoughts into the re-blog itself.
And FYI, creators LOVE comments. (I'll cover comments and tagging in another post. Don't worry, I got you.)
And Joel just loves fun too, don't you, Joel?
So, I hope that gives you a better understanding on what re-blogging is and why it's so vital on Tumblr and in fandom communities.
If you found this post helpful in any way, then you now know what to do, right?
Re-blog it! 😁
Thanks so much for reading, and I'll catch you next time in another Tumblr Topic post. Stay kind and keep it creamy. 🖤
