u know I really think a tumblr rule of thumb should be 'don't say anything in a reblog you wouldn't say directly to the OP of the post' bcos like. by and large whatever you say in your reblog you are, in fact, saying directly to the OP.
which isn't to say 'don't be weird' or 'don't be an asshole'. if you wanna be weird or an asshole to people online that's your prerogative just like. own it afterwards and don't act like you didn't do anything.
there's like. SOME kind of really radical difference in how different people approach reblogging on this site bcos some people clearly do feel that whatever they say in reblogs is their own post and therefore their own business.
but like. by default when you reblog a post on tumblr what happens next is, the OP gets a notification that contains the text of what you said + a link to read the whole addition. you are in effect emailing them your addition. & then acting like they're the weird one if they asked wtf you're on about.
