no because engene have to be the most toxic and inhumane fandom of all times.
so for those who dont know, mina ( goes by sweeter_nk on twt ) is a japanese engene who went to a recent enhypen concert and brought flowers for sunki. she accidentally handed the sunflowers to sunoo, which were actually meant for ni-ki, and cried and urged sunoo to hand them over to ni-ki.
i dont know how such a small thing and very importantly a girl trying to appreciate her idols by bringing them flowers could possibly disturb so many engenes as far as to drive that poor girl to death. mind you, you're protecting 6 very privileged popular korean men from an innocent fangirl. they probably even forget about these stuff by the time they reach home.
your reckless and deeply insolent words about real people on the internet counts. being rude to someone is never a solution and especially to a girl who just wanted her flowers to reach her idol? have some fucking shame in yourself, this is beyond inhumane.
maybe everybody should spend their times doing something else rather than harrasing a poor girl on the internet for literally nothing.
enhypen doesn’t know you, they dont even care about you. and this is bitter but it is true because they're only artists theyre performers and why would they care about stuff like these. wasting your time on meaningless things like this only prooves your parasocialism and god, please recover.
kpop is never never never that serious to lose your morality over, to lose your sympathy and basic thinking skills over and to cost an innocent life.
rest in peace, beautiful girl mina. she didnt deserve any of this. and the people who bullied her to the verge of this sick situation, deserves nothing but hell
People need to realize that behind the account, username and pfp there is a REAL HUMAN with real emotions, life and goals. Harassing and cyber bullying a girl over her wanting to give her bias a sunflower??? Is it really ever needed to harass people to the level they take their own life? If any of you are part of the people who harassed her, bullied her genuinely get the fuck out of your house and find something new to do. Your life is NOT dependent on 6/7 members dancing and singing. Fandoms are supposed to be fun but some of these people make it unbearable.
The girl is a daughter of someone, a young 25 year old who probably has life goals and plans for her future. Her parents, friends, loved people probably found out how she died because of the cyber bullying and harassment… so do you realize how helpless they would feel? how they are probably wishing that they knew this sooner so they could protect her?
RIP Mina you deserved so much better. I hope the ones who bullied you are ashamed of themselves.
Please for gods sake do NOT let Kpop consume you and let you become this evil person. Life is more than that and bullying people over fucking nothing.
"it is a cultural shock — how our daughters are using such [crude] language."
always the women being subjected to puritan culture. citizens are being booked for using slurs. fifteen year olds. are we serious?
why only "daughters"? why is it less surprising to see "sons" as well using crass language? because "boys will be boys", apparently.
the prime minister of the country with the largest population in the world has nothing better to do than making a reel, saying he forgives everyone who verbally insulted him during the recent protest that was highly against the political party he belongs to.
seriously. it makes the text hard to read. idc if that’s a fic title or some sublabels on your pinned post—it’s hard to read! there are also fonts that appear as question marks to some devices. please stick to normal fonts or at least use something easy to read. also, pls don’t make your titles either too big or too small!
2. url/percent encoding in hyperlinks
if the start of a post has things like emoji, special character, stylized font, non latin letters, it most likely appears as a series of hexadecimal digits & percent signs (that you need to erase) in the url. when you paste the link anywhere and open it, it leads mobile users to their web browser instead of just being able to view the post in the tumblr app.
and if the poster has the ‘hide [username] from people without an account’ setting toggled on... unless the viewer is logged in on their tumblr mobile web browser too, they cannot view the post.
if you’re on desktop and have never experienced this problem, please go to the app and see the inconvenience for yourself.
in the middle of writing this guide, i figured out a solution...? tip #15
3. use the ‘keep reading’ feature!
nobody wants to scroll forever on a post just to reach the next one. it’s the last icon to your right that looks like a wave/zigzag and has a line above and below it. or you can just type :readmore: then press enter and it’s done. also keep in mind that when you edit your posts and move this thing or edit content above it—it sometimes disappears, so double check!
4. changing your username changes your urls—so pls fix your hyperlinks.
if you change your username, it changes the url of your posts too. so that means you have to change the hyperlinks on your posts/masterlists because it would just lead to nowhere if the links still contain your old username.
also this means that if you try to do ‘view original post’ on a reblog of your post with your old username, it would lead to error.
5. your text color should not be an eyesore.
if you’re going to have color on your text, pls make sure they’re readable on both light and dark mode and that it doesn’t hurt people’s eyes.
how to do the gradient color thing? go to this site, enter your text, choose your colors, i suggest to choose ‘horizontal (line by line)’ for fade type, tap the generate button, check if readable on light & dark mode, copy the color code, go to tumblr web browser, edit your post and press the settings icon, find ‘text editor’ and switch it to html, and paste your code.
6. yes, you can change the date on your post.
pls stop asking writers about this. 😭 open tumblr on web browser, edit your post & click the settings icon, find ‘post date’ and change the date and/or time there.
7. tumblr only allows 1,000 blocks per post.
a block is a paragraph. every time you hit enter, that’s a new block. even if it only contains one word or character. keep this in mind if you’re posting long fics so you can plan ahead on what to do if it exceeds 1,000 blocks. if you hit the limit, a warning pops up and you can actually still post it but you cannot have more than 1k blocks. any more paragraphs won’t save or update.
8. set your fic text to normal size.
unless you’re writing drabbles (works around 1k) or displaying the details to your fic—please stop. it’s hard to read. that’s it. leave it as it is. don’t you dare press that <s> icon to edit the actual fic. it is annoying!!! (idk am i alone in this)
also, please use paragraph breaks! unless you’re compressing your fic to avoid hitting the block limit (to which i suggest you should just consider making a next part), it’s hard to read walls of text. don’t be surprised if people skip your fic because the paragraphs are too damn long. it’s worse if you have long paragraphs + the <s> size.
9. tag nsfw works accordingly!
there are so many nsfw works out there with no proper labels. put any of: mdni, 18+, nsfw, or smut and make it clear! what’s the point of putting a label if it’s barely visible? 🤨 and if you’re going to do it through banners/dividers, same thing applies. make sure it’s clear.
10. include the word count in fic details.
as much as possible. a lot of writers avoid this because they seem to think that seeing the word count would make readers scroll away. i think it’s considerate for writers to do it because it can help the reader estimate how much time they should spare to read it. i understand if you draft on tumblr where it’s hard to copy your whole text because it only allows copying per block, but if you’re using other platforms? please calculate the word count or its estimate, at least.
11. ‘save’ button on the app can be weird.
if you’ve experienced this, you’re not alone. on the app, double check if it’s set as ‘save as draft’ before you press the blue save button. this isn’t a problem on web browser and you don’t have to worry about it. idk if tumblr has fixed this bug yet.
12. sites for cute fonts and emojis!
13. you can block anons.
if you ever receive prickly asks in your inbox, you can block them. go to the ask, press three dot menu, tap ‘block sender’. here is a more detailed experiment someone did to demonstrate how it works. (also did you know you can send asks to your own blog?)
14. tumblr’s 30-day policy.
in case you’re not aware, tumblr has this new system. i know, it sucks. so think carefully before you delete your account.
this is also the reason why you now don’t immediately see the typical “-deactivated123456” after the usernames of blogs who deactivated. it’d take 30 days after they deleted their account.
also explains why if you create/change your user and tumblr says it’s taken, but you check for the url and the blog is non-existent, that means the username you want belonged to someone who had just recently deleted their account.
15. custom urls exist!
did you know that you can actually change the url of your posts? this is done on web browser. edit your post, tap settings icon, at the very top it says ‘custom url’. you can change that.
i experimented and this is actually a good solution to the url encoding! so, you don’t really have to sacrifice making pretty titles. just make sure the url is clean. (i figured this would only be a solution for the writers themselves though because if they do not customize the url, it’s still up to us to clean the links when viewing or sharing it...)
note: i noticed that even when i set up a custom url, if i edit the post on the app, it defaults back to the old url. but if i set a custom url again and edit my post on web browser, the custom url stays. idk if it’s a bug on my side? maybe this platform just really hates mobile users
16. content filters exist!
want to stop seeing certain stuff? go to settings > preferences > content filtering > filtered tags & filtered post content. add keywords there.
on web browser, the path is just account > filtered tags & filtered post content.
17. 30-image limit
yes, you can post up to 30 images but this can only be done on tumblr web browser, not the app! re-arranging it on the app is still okay, but adding more than 10 is really not doable here.
also apparently some people don’t know how to arrange the photos, which is just long press/click and drag; same thing with blocks/paragraphs. and you can only stack up to 3 photos beside each other!
18. featured tags on your blog
to help navigate a blog through tags, this thing exists! you can customize what appears on yours. go to blog settings > featured tags. the path is the same on web browser, except you’d see the tags displayed by viewing a blog, press the search icon beside posts and it’d show popular tags.
19. link in description!
want to try it? copy the template below!
<a href="URL">Link Text</a>
20. blog archive
did you know that you can actually view all the posts a blog has through their archive? web browser thing. press the three dot menu under their username and click ‘view archive’. or you can also just type on your browser:
username.tumblr.com/archive
21. app recs!
writing: writer journal, notion, obsidian, novelist, google docs
smau: memi message, twinote, funsta
gfx: ibis paint x, canva, phonto, sketchbook
22. visibility toggles
the 3 on the left, it’s explained in the photos... i just wanted to let you know they exist in case you’re not aware or would like to turn them on (or explain why you can’t view some people’s posts or search them up). the one on the right is something that you should really be aware of. 😬
23. description and inbox visibility
i noticed that if your description is blank + your avatar is hidden, it makes your askbox button disappear. users would have to press the three dot menu beside the ‘follow’ button and only there would you see the askbox again.
24. carrd pages!
carrd is a site where you can build a page to introduce yourself and your blog! you can search up templates right on the site, google, tumblr (search #carrd templates), or youtube tutorials!
my favorites: one | two | three | four | five
i heard about strawpage too but i’ve never tried it and i think it requires more skill...
25. weird spacing on app
if you’re copying your fic from another platform and paste it on tumblr app, you might notice that the spacing doubles and it’s a hassle to adjust each paragraph. but if you do it on web browser, the spacing is normal; no need to adjust anymore. this is why i always create my drafts first on the web browser and just edit it later on the app (easier for me).
26. running out of fic ideas?
you can search through #writing prompts here on tumblr and even on pinterest too! you can also think in categories for inspo such as: songs, movies, tropes/reversed tropes, existing media franchise, foods, random photos on pinterest, etc. or start opening requests if you’re not doing that yet. brainstorming with friends too. there’s endless possibilities! just pls do not use ai.
27. main blogs and side blogs
many people seem to not be aware of the differences between the two. here’s what i’ve gathered through research and experience, but cmiiw: both main blogs & side blogs can post, reblog stuff, send anonymous asks, respond to asks, and they share an algorithm too; only the blog settings (drafts, visibility, etc.) are different on each one. main differences are that a main blog can follow blogs, like posts, send asks (anonymously or not)—a side blog can’t do any of those.
why i mentioned the ‘anonymously or not’ is because the action of sending asks will always be defaulted from your main blog whether you’re on anon or not. so if you happen to block an anon... you’re blocking someone’s main blog from sending anonymous asks to you. idk if this info would come in handy somehow. pls refer to tip #13 for detailed explanation of blocking anons.
this is all that i was able to think of. lmk if you want me to add/clarify anything else! i’ll update this if i can think of more stuff. if you really need to save this, pls reblog or take screenshots or else you lose this if i ever delete my blog lol hope it helped! ♡
that education minster's resignation IS NOT ENOUGH. it will not fix the education system. more importantly, it will not fix this country. i need all of you to understand this is bigger than one minister, bigger than education, and bigger than yourselves. our fight isn't over until the current system itself burns in hell.
edit: to clarify, i changed the wording because i also agree the bjp is not the root cause of india's problems. that is something deeply systemic and is what should be focused on at large. that being said, i still hope the bjp also burns in hell!
i js saw a post of creator where she posted "getting ready to overthrow the govt" and then posted photos and videos of the protest. as much as grateful and in support i am of the people at the protest, please do not use such wordings.
bhai kuch bhi ho jaye, do not ever like even over your dead body use words such as "overthrowing the govt" or any similar words. do not engage with posts like that, or post it as some cunty / trendy way. the reason i am saying this is not because i am in support of the govt. not even over my dead body would i ever support such corrupt govt.
but because using such words at a political protest is considered as mutinty. if i were to say that punishments for mutinity is severe, it would be an understatement. criticize the govt, criticize the modi media, criticize Dharmendra Pradhan, saying "i do not like modi govt, i wish for a better or different pm or govt" is okay but do not, please for the love of god, talk about overthrowing the govt. we've seen how disgustingly brutal delhi police can get with men, women, children, even old folks. god forbid, if you get caught and you were seen posting or interacting with posts about "overthrowing the govt" you will be jailed. not detained, jailed and the hopes of trial will be low as such seen in the case of umar khalid.
so please do not even joke about going to protest to overthrow the govt, do not interact with such posts. matter of fact, educate the creators posting such posts and be safe.
