Some affirmations

Its not your fault that your mental illness is making you have negative thoughts
Thinking about a bad thing doesnt make you a bad person

Very Brief Guide to [tumblr], for Reddit refugees
Shit You Must Do Right Fucking Now:
Change your profile picture, blog header, and title to something other than the defaults. Do it right now. You will be mistaken for a bot otherwise, and blocked.
Go into Settings -> Dashboard, scroll down to Preferences, and turn off the options in the picture. This will get rid of most of the algorithmic stuff.
Turn off Tumblr Live. You have to snooze it once every 7 days for some stupid reason. It's hosted through another company and will steal your data if you use it.
Go to your blog settings (under the little person menu) and turn off these two settings:
Turn off infinite scroll (lags the site) and turn on timestamps on posts, in the same menu as Preferences.
Basic Features of the Site:
Reblogs drive the entire site. If you'd upvote something on Reddit, you'd reblog it on Tumblr. You can add text, images, or tags to a reblog, but you're not required to.
The dashboard is the equivalent to your Reddit feed, and contains the posts of all the people you follow, with the newest at the top
You can send an ask to someone, and it'll appear in their askbox for them to answer. You can receive them too, or turn off the settings if you don't want.
Tags aren't actually used for finding stuff (search function is dogshit), but are more for categorizing. People also talk in tags. Because Tumblr is weird, you can't use quotation marks (") or commas in them without fucking it up
You can filter both tags and phrases under Account Settings; doing this will put a filter over a post that contains them, which you'll have to click through to see the post itself. Useful for avoiding hate speech or blocking out annoying stuff
You can make polls in posts. Here's one now.
holy shit it's a poll
cool!
ooh clicky clicky button!! i wanna press it!! lemme press it!
you can add up to 10 options btw
Likes are useless. They literally do fuck-all except send a notification to the OP.
Stuff Tumblr Does That Other Sites Don't:
Very old posts (I'm talking from like 2012) often circulate on this site. There's no such thing as a post being "too old" to reblog
Blocking is highly encouraged; you can block someone for any reason. Even for just being annoying.
If you and someone else are following each other, you are mutuals. Mutuals are fucking awesome and are treasured like friends. Mutuals are a thing on other sites but Tumblr treats em differently.
You can screenshot someone's tags if you like them and add them to a reblog. This is called "peer review"
Sometimes someone will find a blog and go through it and like/reblog a bunch of posts. This is totally fine and not "creepy" like it is seen as on other sites.
Tumblr jokes often rely on Continuing The Bit and a "yes, and?" attitude. Goncharov is probably the best example of this.
We are fucking infested with bots. They will either have totally blank profiles or be filled with porn. Block and report on sight.
Censorship is pretty lax here. I can say "I want to brutally stab Elon Musk to death and watch him bleed out in front of a crowd" and nobody gives a shit.
General Etiquette:
Don't try to do epic clapbacks here, you'll probably just get laughed at or blocked. If someone is bugging you or spouting bigoted bullshit, block them.
Reblog art!!! Artists often struggle to gain traction on here; reblogging will give them a boost.
Not every reblog needs a comment or tag in it
You can go all out with tagging your stuff to organize it, or you can just leave it all blank. Someone might ask "hey, can you tag these posts as [x]?" and you can decide if you want to do that or not. It's generally polite to oblige, but "no" is still reasonable.
Avoid discourse like the plague. Filter it, block people who start it, scroll past it when you see it. Just don't get involved in it. Ever.
Don't put fandom tags or jokes on someone's posts about serious matters or personal shit
You're responsible for curating your own dashboard; if you complain about constantly seeing stuff you don't like, that's probably on you. Don't be afraid to unfollow.
Follower count doesn't matter much here and you don't have to make yours known if you don't want to.
Reblog, don't repost. Reblogging keeps the credit and doesn't "steal" engagement like Twitter retweets.
If someone likes something a LOT, they might reblog it like 30 times in a row. This is normal
Having a post blow up is actually kinda a bad thing, since it floods your notifications. There's a sort of in-joke about how having a big post is awful and people jokingly try to stop their own posts from blowing up, often in vain.
Tips:
Get XKit Rewritten if you're on desktop, it's a really helpful extension
In the little drop-down menu next to the 'Post now' button you can either save a draft, schedule a post, or add it to your queue. The queue lets you post things in order at a certain interval, which you can change. It's good for spreading stuff out over time.
You can use Shift+R to quickly reblog stuff and Shift+Q to queue!
Filter your notifications under Activity - you can also see some neat graphs
Find each other! If you want your old Reddit communities to stick together, seek out other refugees and follow them.
Have fun on [tumblr], everyone!

I think most of us can agree that Merlin should've been way more connected with nature in the show.
Animals understand Merlin when he talks in the old religion.
Like imagine Merlin picking herbs for Gaius and he comes across some rabbits and just chats with them.
Arthur thinking it would be hilarious to get Merlin to ride out on the new, barely trained horse, then not believing his eyes when Merlin whispered to the animal and it immediately calmed and worked with him.
During a hunt, Merlin disappearing up a tree while they're taking a rest and being found a while later taking a nap, laid quite contently on a branch.
Merlin really struggling to find the herbs he's looking for and frustratedly sitting down in the grass to gather his thoughts, only to find that when he touched the ground, the herbs he needed sprouted immediately.
Little Merlin secretly helping the crops in Ealdor grow when he sensed that there was a rough winter coming.
Just Merlin interaction with nature.
theyre supposed to be researching the magic thing of the week 🤨
Once again again thinking about how we were robbed of Gwaine and Lancelot interactions in bbc merlin.
One, because it would’ve been iconic. Two, because of their individual friendships with Merlin. Three, because of their differing views of nobility and knighthood (at least the way their views began). And four, because they were homoerotic as FAHCK in arthuriana.
ROBBED i tell you
Sir Gwaine
Watching season 1 Merlin be like
The plot: oh no! another plot to kill Uther 😱😱
Me: aight bet hope this one succeeds
Babes wake up I wrote a new Merlin fanfiction
An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works
(Gwaine sprains his ankle, he and Lancelot have a talk)
arthurian legend according to ao3:
soldier, poet, king
one of my favorite dynamics is gwaine hating lancelot’s guts because he’s mr perfect he’s a great knight he’s kind to a fault he’s a genuinely honorable person and he’s effortlessly charismatic (which is not fucking fair because charm is the only thing gwaine actually has going for him and even he has to work for it) even if he can’t really hate him because lancelot really is just well-meaning and damnably earnest but there’s something petty and bitter (and not fucking jealous, dammit) in him that feels spurned
meanwhile lancelot has the fattest fucking crush on gwaine and will not tell him because he thinks he’s uninterested
Sudden urge to read a BBC Merlin time travel fic, but Arthur is the one who time travels (from his death to like season 1), does this exist? Any recs with similar vibes?
Okay so is there a Merlin AU where Arthur, Lancelot, and Gwaine are the 3 musketeers and get into ensuing hijinxs or am I gonna have to write it myself?
we won't get merlin season 6 but i really want a spinoff series about the other character's backstories.
Like, what was mordred up to in season 3 and 4 and how tf did he become a slaver? I also just want more of Mordred and Kara. What happened to elyan before he came randomly out of nowhere? What are agravaine's motivation? How did lancelot and percival meet? How did Daegal grow up? What's gwaine's backstory?
