^ This. Plus, Tumblr’s reach is a shitshow, as is its feedback system; there’s no way of knowing how many people read anything, only how many actively hit that like button. It’s a flawed system, but we do our best in it because it’s the work we love, and sometimes we get lucky and our posts go out at just the right time when enough people happen to see it. As to how to be talented: Practice, read, practice, experiment, practice. No one improves by stopping.

((Practice? Dude. I've been practicing. I've been writing stories since I knew how to write a sentence. You'd think I'd be good at writing by age 24, or at least as good as everyone else here. But clearly I'm not...))

Send my muse “Thank god you’re breathing.” for their reaction to waking up finding your muse has brought them back from near death.

((I can’t reply to you for some reason but HAHA “whether you play an OC or canon” ALMOST EVERY POPULAR TES RP BLOG I’VE SEEN has been an OC. So it’s not just “well you just play an OC, people like canons better!” no, I’m just SHIT.

And I DO have a canon muse! But guess what! It has a grand total of 3 followers! I know, I know, what’s it like to be so popular? It’s great, actually, I’m loved and valued in the communi- oh wait. That’s a number that can be counted on with one fucking hand.))

((I was just soft-kicked from an RP discord... they didn’t kick me but they did tell me to leave because I’m such a shitty rper. I think I should give up for real this time. Nobody cares about my writing or my characters, hell nobody even likes ME MYSELF.))

[halfbred-battlemage]

((How do you be a talented writer? How do you be a talented roleplayer? How does one obtain any sort of worth or validation as either?

Are some people just worth more as writers than others? Or is it all about how hard you work? Does your worth increase if you work hard? What does working hard even mean?

If you’re worthless now, does that mean you will always be worthless in the future? Do some people lack the ability to improve, or can anyone improve and become good at writing?))

PSA

Hey followers. I’ve seen a couple of call-out posts on my dash over the past couple of weeks, highlighting the alleged bad behavior of certain roleplayers. Whether these posts contain truth or not, I just want to share this with everyone:

It’s OKAY to say NO. It’s okay to block someone the moment you feel threatened, uncomfortable, scared, or manipulated. 

Yes, it’ll hurt their feelings. They might get upset. But your safety is more important. Don’t write/do/participate in anything you’re not comfortable with. If you’re terrified or anxious of confrontation, just block them and let it be done!

Your concerns are vallid. Your fears are valid. This person might be triggering you and sure, they might not have the context! If you feel comfortable with explaining it to them do it. If you don’t, or if you do and they don’t seem to care or understand, block them. Say no. Cut out what you can in life that makes you upset or anxious, because you will have a lot to deal with offline already.

Please be safe. Please use the block button. Please turn off anon if you keep getting garbage anonymous messages. Please say no.

If you don’t know how to “soft block” people –

Block someone, then unblock them immediately. This will make them unfollow you unknowingly and simultaneously have you unfollow them, too.

If you need to block certain words/phrases/usernames from your dash – use the extension tumblr savior . 

And the most powerful tool of all –  If you’re scared, upset, triggered, feel guilted or uncomfortable – 

LOG OUT. 

It doesn’t have to be forever and you don’t have to delete your blog. It doesn’t have to be for very long at all – you don’t  have to announce it! 

But Tumblr should not affect you once you sign out. It is a website. You have higher priorities. You are a living, breathing, beautiful human being who deserves to be treated with respect and cherished. It’s so easy to see people as simply text on a screen when you’re online, even subconsciously; that anonyminity can encourage people to be mean, to take out their problems on others.

Don’t be that person and don’t be the victim of that person. You deserve better. You deserve to enjoy Tumblr as a hobby and a place you visit online. Do not feel bad about saying no or using the block button – that’s what it was created for!

Take care of yourself and your friends. You’re going to be okay.

RIGHT  or  WRONG        (  I  can  hardly  tell  )

you tried being GENTLE,         you tried being KIND…

                                            & IN THE END—                                                 you found it made you                                                        even more cruel.

ANIMAL FAMILIAR.

~ Garden Bird ~

Ranging from Finches to Wrens, Hummingbirds to Jays, there is a wide variety of birds that could be your familiar. Usually smaller in size compared to birds such as eagles or parrots, they are no less important. They are very quick-paced, lively animals, and in the same way, you are very quick to react to situations, and prefer not to have second thoughts. Though you may have a playful nature, it is matched by your independent mindset, preferring to be free and yourself than to conform to the crowd.

A Bird familiar allows their master to feel the freedom to express themselves, and leads them towards adventure in life.

~~***~~

This familiar represents

-Freedom

-Expressing yourself

-Quick thinking

-Playfulness

-Liveliness

-Adventure

-Potential

real monsters are born of love. they crawled from the womb of something warm, something soft, something bright— with hearts vulnerable, naked, helpless and hopeful. the monster loved— that’s how it became monstrous.

You are liked. You do have a place here, even if you don't feel liked all the time.

((I am? How do you know? And of course I don’t have a place here. I’ve tried to do stuff with new muses even, I’ve tried to do other things, but it just... won’t... work! I just don’t belong here. Honestly the only reason I’m still here is because I’m so incredibly dense that there is still always hope that maybe tomorrow things will change and maybe tomorrow I’ll actually be half decent and welcome.

You’d think after years of disappointment I would have learned my lesson by now but...))

[tachiisms]

here’s a little reminder for everyone, because this is something that I struggled with for a long time, and have come to learn that there are actually a lot of people who struggle with this. 

you have a place here.

your place here is not defined by how many followers you have, how many people like your headcanons, or how many people send you memes. your place here is not determined by who follows you, or who unfollows you; your place here is not determined by who likes you or who ices you out. your place here does not depend on which “groupchat” or “squad” you’re a part of, or even if you aren’t a participant in any groupchat, or don’t have anyone in a squad. your place here doesn’t require that you’re someone’s “main” or “exclusive” and your place here doesn’t necessitate that you’re publicly lauded as someone’s “favorite” of your muse. your place here doesn’t equate to the number of anon asks you get, or the number of people who comment on your ooc posts. your place here isn’t equivalent to how many ooc posts you make or don’t make, or how quickly you respond to threads, or which topics you choose to publicly speak up on or even which topics you choose to publicly stay silent on. your place here cannot be taken or revoked if there’s a small part of the community that turns against you, and your place here is not contingent on you being accepted by a few. your place here is not contingent on the people who will or won’t write with you.

I know it hurts when people on the dash are constantly talking about things that go on in their groupchats or squads and you aren’t a part of that. I know it hurts when you reblog a meme and don’t get any sent to you. I know it hurts when you get replaced within a group of people you thought were your friends; I know it hurts when you get kicked out of a group of people you thought were your friends. I know it hurts when you see someone post a headcanon and immediately get a dozen likes, when you posted one five minutes ago and didn’t get any. I know it hurts when people reblog promos for others who write the same muse as you and say in the tags how that person is “the best” of that muse, or their “favorite” of that muse. I know it hurts when everyone on your dash is reblogging promos, and you reblog yours too, and no one else reblogs it. I know it hurts when you make ooc posts about being sad or lonely or needing to talk and get no response, and you see other people make similar ooc posts and get a dozen “I’m here for you” responses. I know it hurts when you’re let down by people you thought you were friends with; I know it hurts when you realize friendships were toxic. I know it hurts to feel lonely, or unwanted, or unneeded, or like no one cares. 

but please, don’t forget: you have a place here. you add value to this community. you are important.

you have a place here, and don’t let anyone make you feel like you don’t.

[halfbred-battlemage]

((But wouldn’t people who have a place here... I dunno... actually be liked?))

Don’t just accept the new Terms of Service

Tumblr’s at it again, thanks to the new European Privacy Laws. There’s probably nobody who will read this, but it pissed me off so much that I decided to make a post about it. (Ignore the weird language mish-mash, depending on your country the language might differ.)

OK, so many of us get this screen when we try to access our dash:

Realise how the ‘OK’ button is a nice, attention-grabbing blue? If you’re like me, you’re not exactly into reading a 100 pages document and tend to just click it.

My tip? DONT. Instead click on ‘Manage Options’ right next to it:

Now you’ll see this page:

Still pretty harmless, right? That ‘Accept’ button is looking really attractive right now. Instead, click on Verwalten (Probably something like ‘Manage Options’ or something in english) and you’ll get to this page:

Now that’s not too bad, right? I just switched all the buttons to ‘off’, because I’m jealously guarding my personal information and don’t want Tumblr to go off and do who knows what with it. Looks like we’re done! But wait: There’s a SHOW option.

When we click on that one, what we will get is this:

A HUGE list with OVER 300 ENTRIES of companies that can use your data by default if you’d just clicked ‘OK’ on that very first page. Coincidence that this list is hidden that much? Me thinks not. They’re all switched on by default, but I am still a petty bitch that doesn’t want to give out her data, so I switched them all off. All 300+ of them. There is no option to switch them all off at once, and even if you disable all the options above, the companies are still switched on.

(If you wonder how i got that number, I copied the list into excel and looked at the cell number. No way am I actually counting all those entries)

[expatgirl]

I too, am a petty bitch who unticked every single one.

[tariqah]

I did this like 90 times today

[linenoise-deactivated20200210]

This is good, and while you’re at it, I strongly encourage you to install the EFF’s Privacy Badger browser extension while you’re at it, which automatically blocks connections to known tracking systems without you needing to do a thing! And don’t forget to install a good adblocker!

[pochowek]

if you already ticked this and want to get back to this menu, go to your blogs settings, click the privacy category and uncheck Cookie Consent

also: if youre on a laptop and aiming at every single checkbox and clicking it is tiring you, you might try clicking on the first check box and then continuously doing this combo

Imprisoned/Trapped Monster Starters

(requested by several users, and including non-verbal actions. Add pronouns/rephrase as needed!)

HUMAN

“Who locked you up in here?” “So you’re the beast they were talking about.” “Calm down, I’m not the one who put you in there!” “I’m going to try getting you out. Just hold still.” “Why would they put you in there?” “Hello? Can you understand me?” “No, I’m not letting you out.” “We’re going to make sure you rot in there.” “I’ll only let you out if you promise not to eat me alive.” “Are you in some kind of trouble?” “Stop struggling, I’m trying to help you!” “You’re staying in there until we find out what you are.” “You poor thing. Why would anyone do this to you?” “If you cooperate, we might just set you free.” “I can’t let you out. They’ll just come after you again.” “How long have you been in there?” “You weren’t born in that tank, were you?” “Your freedom is just the price to pay for our very important research.” “I’ll cut you down, just stop struggling!” “I’m not going to hurt you, I just need to cut these ropes.” “Stop howling, they can hear you a mile away!” *taps on the glass* *waves* “Can you hear me through the glass?” *holds up a note to the glass* [insert message]

MONSTER

“What do you want with me?” “You’re not here to poke me with anything, are you?” “Open the fucking door and let me out!” “I didn’t do anything wrong. Why am I in here?” “I know why you’re letting me out. You’re hoping I lead you to the others.” “I’m the only one of my kind.” “I was minding my own business. Next thing I know, I’m in here.” “They’ve been running tests on me.” “Please, let me out. Have some mercy.” “I just want to go home.” “I was born in this facility.” “It’s been so long, I don’t even remember how old I am.” “I haven’t been outside in years [months/weeks/etc].” “Just at least tell me why I can’t go home.” “Don’t come near me, I can get out on my own!” “I can free myself. Get that knife away from me.” *swipes claws* *hisses* *stares curiously through the glass* *points at the cage door* *places hands on the glass*
