hi taro !! this is like. kind of super duper abrupt. esp since i've been so inactive bcs of school. BUT i saw 'if i could give you the moon' on display in my local bookstore today and thought of u and our silly little ann liang convos 🥹🥹🥹 MISS U TRULY hope u've been doing well !!! can't wait until i finally get my summer break bcs im being swamped with five different final projects at once so i barely have any free time these days 💔
ZOEYY!!! I MISSED U TOO OMGS🥹🥹 youre always welcome to be abrupt in my inboxes heh😝😝 ALSO OMGS I'm so happy you thought of our convos + me when you saw if I could give you the moon🥹🥹🩷 I ALWAYS THINK OF YOU WHEN I SEE ANN LIANG BOOKS TOO AAAA !!!
hello !!! i don’t know how many people would see this because of my shadowban (^^;) i’ll be moving to @amorsial from now on.
this might come as abrupt, but this lingering feeling has been in my mind for a long time. not only because of the glitched shadowban i’ve been hit with, but i’ve also always felt out of place using the blog name “millurie”, and has since fallen out of love with it.
of course, it breaks my heart having to let go of something i cherish so dearly, but there are quite a few things that i’d like to leave behind for now and start anew. i’m sorry for any inconvenience this might cause.
everything at the new blog will operate like usual. i’ll repost works that i’m proud of and let this entire account be an archive to sometimes yearningly look back to LOL.
so !!! let’s hope tumblr doesn’t bully me again T^T because nothing brings down mila !!!!! my love for writing and this community as a whole can never be defeated by a mere bully >:(
i’ll see you in the new space if you’ll have me ^^ and as for millurie… thank you for everything.
p.s : reblogs of this post would be greatly appreciated if you see this LOL, because well i am… shadowbanned T^T
a disillusioned romantic you are, is cursed to death on the night of your twentieth birthday unless a true love's kiss comes along. can the legendary detective ashveil crack open this case for his desperate client?
✩ WORD COUNT : 2.3k
✩ CONTENT : contains tiny smau :3 ; lowkey situationship between ashveil and reader ; ashveil is only an unc at heart here he's just a stupid hopeless young silly ; narrator #1 wingman ; idiots in denial (you really just have fat crushes on each other LMAO) ; gn reader
✩ NOTES : MY NEWFOUND OBSESSION WITH THIS MAN CREATED THIS 💔💔 along with the au prompt i got for @.d1strict99's glta event HEHE 🥹 it is so insanely cute :33 anyhow!! i hope u enjoy hehe
"death shall come for you on the night of your twentieth birthday, unless something is done about it — a kiss. a true love's kiss."
…
"it's ridiculous! what is this, a wonderland fairytale movie?!?"
you throw your arms up when recounting the story between you and the sketchy witch. or, at least she claimed herself to be one. donning a costume hat and cape certainly did not help in making you believe it.
initially, you waved her off as a lame joke. who could blame you? some kids probably sent their aunt to play a prank, for them to get a good laugh out of strangers, why should a busy person like you waste your time?
…well.
the problem was, her words struck you right in the heart — a spot hurting most currently.
those eight letters you had come across in every piece of fiction you (chose to) read: "true love". and they left her mouth as if she knew your greatest weakness of yearning.
really, she could reel your gullible soul in any direction as long as the topic is about love. then you could insist how you "no longer believe in finding a soulmate" like the trillion times you had done so already.
which is why you are here. before mr. ashveil himself, a very much hardcore detective! hardcore enough that he has seen you in all possible stages of the past year you have known him.
"you're telling me… you disturbed my peaceful sleep because of an alleged spell an alleged witch cursed you with?"
the eyebrow raise sitting on his face screams he is one step away from telling the furbos next door to write an article about you. "hopeless adult still deep in fairytales, witches and true love! should this be written into a comic?" would be the title.
"i told you, i don't buy whatever she's saying!"
every single syllable sounds sour on the tip of your tongue… maybe you should stop lying?
"you do buy it."
"i do buy it." you grumble. for someone who has horrible deduction skills, ashveil manages to get that right only by looking at the sparkles behind your eyes.
the detective ponders, almost sarcastically, "why? what made you trust her, not yourself?"
same question perched so beautifully on your mind the past ten hours it becomes infuriating. is he not supposed to help you answer?!?
then again… why? is it due to your twentieth birthday being just around the corner and you are too young to die? an expected reaction, though both of you (even ashveil's monkey assistant who is not present today) understand there has to be another reason behind your "trust one's gut" instinct not working.
"a woman's intuition is always correct"… perhaps that is why you believe her? desperation… no, you may dread for love but not so far! um…
"you know, you're doing too much thinking when there's a detective right before you." ashveil's voice breaks through your chain of thoughts.
finally! his bright mind seems to have come up with something useful—
"have you not reached to conclude how delusion clouded your judgement at the moment? she could have taken your wallet while you were standing frozen there!"
oh. ouch.
nothing new you have never heard of though. words stirred together along those lines always wiggle their way out his lips — teasing and… unfortunately, obvious. like, wow! you could not have figured it out unle—
wait. wallet?!?!?
you scramble your hands around every pocket available on you, face immediately turning pale upon feeling the sudden emptiness. there is no visible rectangle bump on the side of your pants.
"are you FU—" profanities could not even take their chance as ashveil's hat is slammed against your mouth, the smell of cheap cologne and… refrigerator filling your nostrils.
after successfully shutting you up, he smoothly puts the cowboy hat back on his fluffy head of long hair, expression serious for once.
"well," the man starts, rubbing his temple in distress, "it seems i have jinxed it. or however you call it. regardless, we can't let the thief get away with taking your wallet!"
yet as ashveil says so, he crawls his way back in the barely working fridge — his home, he claims — planning to fall back into slumber.
utterly absurd!
you kick the side of his "bed". he possibly cannot be this chill when his most favorite regular client is requesting help!
as expected, he… does nothing. of course, what else? merely letting out a half-hearted groan, plopping the hat onto his face while shooing you.
same thing for months now, "i'll get to it! give me time." then a week later he randomly texts you saying to meet up with him because he has found leads. all he manages to confirm are his baseless theories and your insanity, rooted from some deduction he has made up on a whim.
you grumble on your way out of his tiny office, muttering about how unprofessional ashveil is — no wonder he cannot be an actual detective! only a few wives who got cheated on would love a guy like that!!
maybe you in the roster as well…
anyhow! he is not just going to rise from his cryosleep to get his work done. no, you will have to wait. could be a few days, could be until the day of your death.
you sigh, sliding your phone into the pocket where your wallet should be. normally, annoyance would fill you in a rush, "why now?!?" being the first thought that pops up.
but strangely, you are not able to find it in yourself this time around. perhaps since it has happened one too many times to the point where you are tired of making the expression.
…or, you have been waiting for his text. for him to initiate a meet up between you both.
whatever reason it is, at least you heard back from him. though the word "deduct" cannot get worse when it comes to ashveil, it still is better than nothing.
you hope, footsteps slowly marking the road to the ashen detective agency.
his office is a mess. as soon you step foot in it.
documents scattered everywhere. papers and what you assume to be mr. narrator's banana peels stacked atop each other. red threads connecting pieces of evidence together, like you losing your wallet is an entire crime scene.
then an ashveil. practically collapsed on his fridge — a sight much inappropriate to anyone who walks in the room. his loud snores do not help better it either.
you should not wake him up. you should let him sleep after spending days and nights investigating your situation—
"MR. ASHVEIL!"
it seems the monkey assistant has other plans.
poor man jolts awake in such a panic that he chokes on his snort, lips opening and eyebrows furrowing clearly indicate the scolding about to let itself be known…
"don't disturb my slee—" until he sees you.
suddenly, every word is swallowed back into their origin. the detective instead stands up, fixing his appearance while stuttering out apologies to his dearest client.
even mister n rolls his eyes beside you, unable to take in ashveil's babbled sweet nothings.
"he's all yours now." the slumbernana monkey takes his exit, shutting the door for some privacy. yet, you cannot necessarily shake off the feeling that the creature knows more than he lets on, and is quite obviously trying to play his part.
…
…
…
the fridge's humming does all the talking for you.
"ashvei—"
"aHEM," your quiet calling fades with the background noises as ashveil fumbles with different case folders, searching for a very specific one where he placed a furbo sticker in the middle and titled it "[name]'s hopelessness".
not too nice of him to do so.
"AHA!" whether he is exclaiming because it has been found or he is summoning the aeon, who knows? but him pulling out the familiar file means your answer is probably the former.
from then, you completely miss the point of whatever he is yapping about, mind stuck on a single problem.
how do you mention losing your wallet is not the only thing he needs to look into?
"you see, i have deducted — and i have done so very well, i brought out the entire deduction guide 101 — to two locations, both in duomension city."
"hey um, ashveil—"
"if i'm wrong you can… throw bananas and tomatoes and whatnot at me every day for a month, but you have to consider the possibilities weighing here."
"detective, listen—"
"your wallet, that cute object with charms, surely it'll be easy to find—"
"ASHVEIL!"
finally.
his ears perk up, violet eyes turning to you. as if it just occured to him how to do his job — he has to take in his client's opinion, not ramble on about what he thinks.
maybe the combination of sleep deprivation and improper diet is getting to him…
"…yes?" will a person believe it if they hear the ashen detective himself sounding almost scared right now?
you ruffle your head in distress, "you forgot one important detail."
a most skeptical eyebrow raise toward you. as the winning contestant of various competitions concerning his work field, he would never—
"oh."
yeah. oh.
to be fair, you cannot fault him for this. the reason he was prompted to investigate in the first place is your wallet. well, was. now there is an additional issue: the curse.
he steals a short moment to mull things over, "can't we find the lady herself and ask her?"
a logical solution, though not particularly what you are hoping looking for. the smallest wince shows itself when you notice ashveil catching onto your thoughts.
"…"
"…"
"…are you saying i should kiss you?"
and he sure caught on fast.
"NO! …i mean yes, but—"
"ME? KISS YOU?" why does he have to make it seem like it is the most disgusting act in the whole of planarcadia?!? "WHO'S TO SAY I'M YOUR TRUE LOVE?!?"
another pause. he has a point. you cannot go around kissing people. he cannot be refusing his client's orders either.
"right," the detective averts his gaze to anywhere else that is not you. honestly, the faint peachy pink is a good look on him as he tries to steer the topic of conversation to someplace else, "how about we give the witch a visit?"
judging by his expression, he merely is trying to delay the part where he kisses you. come on! who would not want to kiss you?! (ashveil, apparently) (he wants to, actually).
"rather chill of you when my death is nigh, but fine."
sigh.
ashveil would not shut up during your walk to duomension city.
"your birthday's tomorrow right? we just need to find your true love by midnight!"
wow! who knew? you surely did not, "let me check my pocket! i keep my spare true love in there."
unless he can pull "your true love" out of thin air, he is practically leaving you to die alone.
"mm…" the detective puts his mind to work for once. you clearly do not have many options here, so if he really does want to save you…
a kiss it is.
those usually sharp eyes change into softness as they dart to your lips, before quickly going back to where they were — a random tree behind you, because he cannot bear to make eye contact. then, one deep inhale taken in to mentally prepare himself.
"let's get this over with," is the final thing you manage to hear. next thing you know, his face is already barely an inch away from yours.
said inch soon reduces to a half, a quarter—
"AMAZING! THEY KISSED!!!" you really have not gotten the chance to, as you and ashveil turn to spot the source of the familiar voice.
that wrinkled cape, that bent hat…
no one else other than the witch who cursed you, in broad daylight.
she also seems to be more insane compared to the last time you saw her, all snickering as she hops her way out of the dark alley she was in.
"oh, you two make a cute couple… i'm assuming he is your true love, dear child?" she peers at you expectantly, like pushing for a romance story to be told between you and the ashen detective.
"ah, no—"
"yes." ashveil nudges your elbow. let's just pretend for both sakes — your death is imminent, more time cannot be wasted on searching for your "soulmate". he is the perfect one for you.
the lady giggles in absolute elation, "lovely! i really am the spectacular matchmaker… anyhow! no need to worry about death. the curse never existed to begin with."
"…what?"
oops. slip up.
"look at the clock! i should get going now. have fun!" the older woman immediately excuses herself to return to her tiny corridor.
…
well.
you and ashveil do not move for the slowest second ever.
"so whatever we did for the past three days meant nothing." the man beside you slumps his shoulders, fingers gripping the cowboy hat even tighter. he drags his feet backward, quite embarrassed of what he did. was he too obvious?
yes. but at least he is aware the feeling is mutual. kinda.
you spend the night of your birthday over at the ashen detective agency, sharing the small office desk with the detective and his monkey companion, who cannot hide his excitement despite being reminded countless times that you are not yet dating!
"take notes, [name]! do not let him eat only bananas for his meals! for someone like mr. ashveil, he needs to keep a balanced diet!" mister n prods his tail on your arm after every sentence, as if to emphasize how important this is.
"mister narrator! stop!"
as much as you try to deny it, you both know. everyone knows.

A/N: Thank you all for 600 followers!!! Came across this little list of questions and felt like yapping. As always, any question I don't answer can be asked via inbox!!
For those I tagged, choose a handful of questions from the link above to answer ( or answer them all, your choice! ) and tag others you'd like to do the same! <3
1. What fic of yours would you recommend to someone who had never read any of your work? (In other words, what do you think is the best introduction to your fics?)
I'd say I'd recommend The Oddities of Human Nature if I had to choose one! I personally think it represents a good chunk of what I write on this blog! ( Which is pain lmao- )
8. What song(s) would make a great fic (to either write or read)?
I have a few actually! Personally, I feel like Girl's Girl by Zara Larsson, He's My Man by Luvcat, Feel Anything by Nxdia, WHERE IS MY HUSBAND! by RAYE, Dear God by Tate McRae, Mad at Disney by Salem Ilese, Witch by Rubyeye, Entertaining by Halacg, and If I Killed Someone For You by Alec Benjamin are few of many songs I believe could make for great fic ideas!
9. How do you find new fic to read?
I typically just search the x reader tag of a character I'm currently fixated on Tumblr or my fav ship relating to that character ( or characters if I like both/all people involved in the ship ) until I find something that catches my eyes.
10. How do you decide what to write?
Usually my motivation just guides me to pop open a doc of some kind and get to typing but if not that, I usually ask others ( via a poll, discord, etc. ) for what they think I should focus on and if not that then I typically give up lol- I used to spin wheels but I kinda gave up that method a while ago.
11. Are you partial to a certain character/pairing or are you more equal-opportunity? If you are partial to any character/pairing, why do you think that is?
Writing wise, I'm definitely partial to certain characters as they typically easiest for me to write for as we have relating qualities ( Ex. Riddle Rosehearts, Wanderer/Scaramouche/Kunikuzushi/Kabukimono, LukaTill, etc. ) or that I simply love them that much that I can't stop my motivation ( Ex. Lilia Vanrouge, Juuzou Suzuya, etc. ). Reading wise I'm more equal opportunity since it typically involves my fav character(s) of that fandom and as long as they're in it ( and nothing weird is tagged or warned ) I can find something enjoyable about what I read!
12. Are there any tropes you used to dislike but have grown on you?
Parent AUs!! I got into them a few months ago thanks to a now deactivated user named devildomdrafts! ( Oh how dearly I miss their work ) I'm not the fondest of children ( in fact I often proclaim I hate them for various reasons ) but their writing genuinely gave me such a serotonin boost everytime I read something on their blog that I grew quite fond of the au ( alongside pregnancy au's ) to the point I started a parent au series of my own!
13. Are there any tropes you used to like but don’t anymore?
I'd have to say friends to lovers/childhood friends to lovers. Like it's become such a plain and boring trope to me over the years whether I write it or read it 😭 Like as a main trope it's so dull like especially when there's nothing else going on like where's the actionnnn... It kinda blends with my reason on why I don't really like most shoujo anime and manga...
26. Would you rather write a fic that had no dialogue or one that was only dialogue?
Definitely a fic with no dialogue because 1) I've done it before and 2) I suck ASS at dialogue and hate how fanfics look when it's just straight speaking going on ( with the only exception being chatfics ). Like possibly unpopular opinion but I love how full a fic looks with big chunks of text like it's soooo satisfying and just rubs me the right way, ykwim?
31. What’s your ideal fic length to write?
Oughhh it really depends on the genre. If it's fluff ( or anything along those lines that's generally light and fun ), I'd say anything between 1k and 3k words - something cute and to the point. If it's angst ( or anything along those lines that's generally heavy on the heart ), I'd say anything between 5k and 20k words because I loooove the buildup to the inevitable pain.
32. What’s your ideal fic length to read?
Something between 2k and 5k words for most genres. This is a very loose estimate, though, as I tend to buckle depending on whether or not the plot is interesting or characters/pairings involved are my personal favs or not ( currently reading a juuzou x hanbee fic on ao3, for example, that's roughly 591k words over the course of the two books ( the main fic and its sequel! I'm currently halfway through the sequel so I'm a little over 300k words in 😅 )
37. Promote one of your own “deep cut” fics (an underrated one, or one that never got as much traction as you think it deserves!). What do you like about it?
Paradise!! I will always slide this into one of these but gosh do I love that fic ( series )!! I really love the original characters I managed to integrate into the cast and how I did the storytelling! It scratches that itch I used to always get when reading demon slayer-related stories on Wattpad when I was younger! I recommend anyone and everyone to check it out sometime! <333
38. Did any of your fics get surprisingly popular (whatever that means to you)? Which ones? Why do you think they were so successful?
I'd have to go with The Single Father Chronicles With: Riddle Rosehearts. The fic wasn't one focused on romance and you were dead during the entirety of it, but I got so much love and supporting comments that it blew me away!! That said, I honestly have no idea why it gained as much traction as it did besides the fact that it involved Riddle suffering lmao-
40. Do you tend to reread fics or are you a one-and-done kind of person?
Oh I reread my own fics all the time! Whether it'd be because my perfectionism is getting to me and I want to re-edit a fic for the nth time or whether I'm seeking comfort when I'm feeling down that caters to my specific struggle or whether I want a very specific microtrope or dynamic displayed that I know I've written, I'm scouring my own blog for said fic and reading it once, twice, or however many times til' I'm satisfied!
41. Link a fic that made you think, “Wow, I want to write like that.”
Duuuuuude on here I'd go with my mootie lysarion's lohen fic MY FIANCÉ like bro the storytelling and how quickly yet satisfyingly they move the plot along and develop reader and their relationship with lohen and establish the already existing relationships of reader's parents and their struggles with dealing with them GOSHHHH WAS IT A BEAUTIFUL READ!!!! As for ao3, it's tied between fics New Days and Rainstorms/Sunshine and Oceans ( Tokyo Ghoul ) by fat_stranded_whale and Crestfallen Sunset ( Omori ) by OliveTreen. Their characterization goes craaaazy and I especially love how Olive depicts selectively mute Sunny in their fic like please guys check these out if you're able to cause these stories are amazing!!
42. Have you ever received a comment that particularly stood out to you for whatever reason?
Yes!! It was actually a mutual of mines ( nursedflowers ) that left it on my fic My Late Husband Is Seriously Haunting Me! I've always favored her comments as she's always extremely passionate with her words and I specifically remember her asking if I ever considered becoming a movie director and it genuine altered my way of thinking about my future! I started thinking about it more and more and realized that writing/making/directing films is where I wanna be in the future and I'll always cherish that comment for helping me figure out my true calling ( and how it saved me from the mathematic hell double majoring in business administration and entrepreneurship would've given me lol- )
46. Do you prefer writing on your phone or on a computer (or something else)? Do you think where you write affects the way you write?
I prefer computer! I mainly write on google docs ( in the process of switching over to Ellipsus as we speak ) and I feel like it heavily affects my flow and overall motivation. You see, I get frustrated hella easily and am usually in a very sensitive and delicate headspace when I write and writing on my phone deters me because it feels really cramped and all the notifications I get tend to distract me. My computer isn't linked to any social media websites so unless I actively have the webpage of one up, I get zero distractions + it handles having multiple operating tabs like spotify and pinterest open better than my phone does! ...Also I hate typing up stories on my phone like it's actually terrible and makes me wanna rip my hair out-
48. What’s the last fic you read? Do you recommend it?
burning up (yeah, all I see is red) by reokeiki (reonicake) on ao3! It's a short drabble about the hubbys Akira and Noi with Noi being cheeky and teasing his husband ( post timeskip ofc ) so if that's your kinda thing, I'd def recommend it! <3
Extra: Thank you all once more for gifting me such company as 600 followers! I greatly appreciate you all so, so, sooo much! <33
Tagging: @stellar-headquarters, @azullumi, @felibrary, @lysarion, @shoyosluver, @nursedflowers + anyone who'd like to join in on the fun!
thanks for the tag ari!! this looks so fun HEHE !! also congrats on 600 followers YIPPEE you deserved it for sure😝😝
here's some questions I picked out from this list of questions that I would like to answer YAYY (feel free to pop into my inbox to ask me anything I didn't answer as well)
1. What fic of yours would you recommend to someone who had never read any of your work? (In other words, what do you think is the best introduction to your fics?)
choosing one was honestly so hard because my style seems to vary in some way or another. but if i had to really choose one, I think found serendipity because I absolutely love writing smaus (but I can't do a sole smau work) I like to think of my writing as something silly & soft too!
9. How do you find new fic to read?
to be honest, it's just from my tumblr for you page😭 I tend to scroll on tumblr long enough to find random fics that catch my interest and I'll either send it to myself to bookmark for reading later (or read it now if I have time/feel like it)
10. How do you decide what to write?
I write whatever comes to my mind usually. from random ideas I get from my head from irl interactions to the media I consume (ie. songs, kdramas, anime etc.) it can get to the point I have too many ideas and drafts and zero actual completed fics done.
12. Are there any tropes you used to dislike but have grown on you?
probably fake dating. I used to hate it because I always felt like there's this typical storyline they will follow (ie. they make a contract with list of things to never cross with the last line being something like "we will never fall in love" but they always end up breaking all of that anyway) but after reading this time it's real by ann liang and selfish romance by gyogyo park, I've learnt to love this trope more.
13. Are there any tropes you used to like but don't anymore?
lowkey enemies to lovers. I love it when it's done right but nowadays there's so many knockoffs of this trope that makes it feel not done right. like I want enemies to lovers where they're actual enemies at the start and the feeling is mutual (not like one is secretly pining over them from the very start)
16. What's an AU you would love to read (or have read and loved)?
I absolutely love celebrity au. I feel like a large majority of the au I consume tends to lean towards celebrity au. if you do know of any good ones (whether you've written or read them) do tag me in them heh😝
26. Would you rather write a fic that had no dialogue or one that was only dialogue?
probably one with only dialogue. I cannot get rid of dialogue in my fics and I can go on with a whole paragraph with back and forth dialogue. my only possible concern would be if that makes it not engaging enough or if my dialogue ends up leading my readers nowhere.
32. What's your ideal fic length to read?
I would say something along the lines of 1k to 3k words. fics shorter than that sometimes makes me feel like "huh? it ended, i wish there was more" and fics longer than that sometimes makes me feel "omg there's more!! I don't know if I can finish all this in one sitting!" I always like to read fics in one sitting because I fear if I take breaks in between, I will forget where I stopped off (but I sometimes don't have the concentration span to finish fics in one sitting either)
38. Did any of your fics get surprisingly popular (whatever that means to you)? Which ones? Why do you think they were so successful?
does drabbles count LOL cos if drabbles count I'll have to say the drabble on long distance bf shoyo that I did. I genuinely did that mainly for my own indulgence but the crowd seemed to like it so... reading back on it, it was actually really cute.
40. Do you tend to reread fics or are you a one-and-done kind of person?
one-and-done. which means I actually don't proofread my fics after I am done (but sometimes when I feel like it, I would reread my fics and go like "omg there's a mistake" and change it silently)
41. Link a fic that made you think, "Wow, I want to write like that."
recently (or not so recently), discovered teach me how to love (an atsumu x reader smau series) written by one of my mutuals (shoutout: yenonnoff) and it's a celebrity au (are we even surprised) but trope aside, I love the way she written it (the details, story pacing and plot). makes me feel like im watching a kdrama in words😝
45. What's something you've improved on since you started writing fic?
descriptions. I used to be really terrible when it came to narrating and describing, making my fics unusually short and lacking in character/world building. It's still something I am learning & improving on (I hope to be able to perform "show not tell" better in my fics)
46. Do you prefer writing on your phone or on a computer (or something else)? Do you think where you write affects the way you write?
definitely prefer writing on a computer (using ellipsus) and having my earbuds in (with a youtube playlist in the bg). I can't handle noisy environments when writing either and I somehow have to stick to this routine right now to lock in more efficiently LOL
48. What's the last fic you read? Do you recommend it?
out of my league by soryoru (it's a short smau on boyfriend yuji texts that I stumbled on my fyp LMAO) for a really quick read, it's kinda cute and I pretty much enjoyed reading it so why not. (I just didn't reblog it because I am not very in the jjk fandom...😭 not even done w s2...🥀)

The reblog chain is one of the things that makes Tumblr unlike anywhere else. All the notes on reblogs are attributed to the original post, no matter which branch people actually liked or reblogged. We want to keep encouraging conversations, and give contributors the recognition they deserve.
Soon, you'll be able to like, reblog, or reply to any part of a reblog chain, and that note will go to that reblog's author. Each reblog will have its own counts, instead of one aggregated number from every version of the post. And yes, you’ll be able to like multiple posts in one chain.
If a reblog doesn't add anything, the love flows up to the last person in the chain who did. Your post doesn't lose notes just because people spread it quietly.
Past notes will stay on the original post — we're only changing what happens from here on out. Retroactively re-attributing all of them would be... a lot.
This is just the beginning. More changes are coming as we keep building this out – stay tuned!
We rolled out a significant change to how notes work on reblogs, and the reaction has been strong. We're not going to pretend otherwise.
First things first: We're reversing the change. Your feedback in comments, emails, and especially reblogs, made clear that the rollout created problems we need to address before moving forward. We also should have communicated this differently from the start, and we didn't.
We still believe there's a better version of how reblogs can work. One that gives every voice in a chain the credit it deserves. But we want to get there with you.
In the coming days we'll share more on how we plan to do that, including ways to work directly with some of you on this and future changes before they ship.

in lieu of tumblr's new reblog feature. let's continue to support creators on this platform and keep this place as safe as possible.
please consider giving feedback here.
credit not needed. recoloring welcomed. feel free to edit as you need!
*credits to a dear friend of mine for this idea.
Tumblr is rolling out a new reblog/notes system that completely disregards creators. In their new system, they're taking a twitter-style approach where reblogs will have their own notes that DO NOT contribute to the original post's notes.
Because of this, creators will no longer be able to see an accurate display of likes/reblogs/etc. This is completely altering the way feedback and responses to works are going to be received on this website.
If you come across a fan work that you enjoy, please take the extra step to go to OPs original post, and leave your comment/like/reblog there. Or go one step further and send an ask to OP directly to tell them what you liked!
I really hope Tumblr staff reverses course and reverts to the original reblog system for the sake of the large base of creators who use this site to share their works, but until then, please be considerate and make sure the creators here see/feel the love.
