How to get the tea blog removed and perma blocked
The tea blog is an active user on the community. Whenever drama with an author happens, they are quick to make a blog. This isnβt their first time on Tumblr and thereβs been at least 2-3 rounds of this tea blog before.
After they set up their blog and sent themselves a couple of asks to fill up their blog, theyβre lacking in engagement, so they send asks to the bigger authors on Tumblr pretending to be a concerned anon or attacking them, then come back to defend the author.
βOmg the tea blog is back!β βHave you heard the tea blog is back?β Or something like that, usually including the link or waiting for the author to reply before sending the link. Unfortunately many authors fall for this, giving them exactly what they want, visibility. 9 out of 10 times this isnβt an actual concerned person but itβs the tea blog generating views, do not engage with such asks.
This tea person also often uses one of their own asks as a base to attack the author with, for example; βYou are a sick blablaβ in which the author responds in confusion before that same person comes back and kindly explains why that βpreviousβ anon said that and tells the author about the tea blog. Again, this is their tactic to improve engagement on their blog, do not engage. Itβs safest to not respond to any asks about the tea blog as this person is extremely two faced and takes on multiple roles.
Forgot to add: the tea blog also sends asks to authors saying something like: βI didnβt know you were like this author I have been following you for a while but after seeing how you respond/actβ or βafter seeing x on the tea blogβ¦β They have been sending this on multiple blogs
1a. Sending themselves asks
9/10 of the asks that are sent to them are fake asks made up by the author of the blog. You will notice that all the asks are written in the same style, with a few in between to confuse readers with a changed style, to make it look more genuine. I repeat, most of their asks are sent by themselves and the tea blog isnβt as big as it seems.
βWhich authors should I avoid?β βWhich authors write about x so I can block them?β βIβm new here which authors are problematic?β All seemingly innocent questions when in reality, itβs the author of the blog sending those to themselves. A new person wouldnβt see this blog in their search results as it takes time for new blogs to show up there. The author sends these questions to themselves to respond with a list of (always!) big authors.
The tea blog always targets a small group of big authors on tumblr. Notice how their asks are always about the same people? The tea blog takes their recent controversies or recent posts as inspiration. They go for authors who they believe will be most talked about on this platform and the authors who they believe will be most reactive to their posts.
