Today is Souichi Tsujii's birthday 🥳💖
fandom misogyny is one of those things where you notice it and youre like "wow thats terrible!" and then you just keep noticing it over and over until the end of time and youre sitting there saying "hey is anybody gonna talk about this" and everybody says "no" and then goes "haha isnt it funny how this mlm ship is so popular even though these characters dont have much screen time? especially compared to a wlw ship between the main characters haha!" and it makes you want to peel all your skin off
I love when a conversation about a serious real life problem turns into "ship A yes, ship B no"
The Death of the Digital Ecosystem: Why Decoupling Notes Destroys Tumblr
@changes (Edit: I already sent this to Tumblr Support under the feedback option. I encourage everyone to send feedback on how bad this feature actually is).
For years, the total note count on a post served as a universal metric of a piece of content's impact. Whether a user liked the original post or a reblog fifteen branches deep, that engagement flowed back to the source. This ensured that the original artist, writer, or editor received the full credit for the viral success of their work.
Under this new system, engagement is trapped within the specific reblog a user happens to see on their dashboard. If a massive, high-traffic blog reblogs a piece of art from a small creator, every like and reblog that occurs through that larger account stays with them. The original creator is left with a stagnant note count on their own dashboard while their work generates thousands of interactions for someone else.
Erasure of Creator Visibility
Instead of seeing one post with 10,000 notes, a creator may now have to hunt through dozens of different reblog chains to find where the conversation is actually happening.
If the notes no longer flow back to the original post, the creator loses the ability to see who is enjoying their work, what the tags say, and how the community is responding.
On a platform where engagement often dictates visibility, splitting that engagement into tiny, unlinked fractions makes it significantly harder for original works to gain momentum compared to the high-reach blogs that reblog them.
Incentivizing the "Big Blog" Monopoly
This system rewards accounts that have already established a large following at the direct expense of the smaller accounts that actually produce the content. It transforms reblogging from a method of sharing into a method of acquisition.
When a reblog functions as its own independent post with its own note count, the incentive to click through to the original source disappears. The platform is transitioning from a collaborative ecosystem into a standard social media feed where the person who posts the content last—not the person who made it—reaps the rewards.
Impact on Collaborative Conversations
Tumblr’s unique culture is built on the reblog chain: a chronological, evolving conversation. By allowing users to like or reblog "any part" of the chain as an independent entity, the platform is breaking the narrative thread.
If engagement is siloed into specific branches, the incentive to add to a conversation is replaced by an incentive to simply own a piece of the engagement. This change doesn't encourage conversation. It encourages the commodification of individual posts within a chain, making it harder for the original voice to ever be heard over the noise of the rebloggers.
The Disincentive to Create
Perhaps the most damaging aspect of this update is the psychological toll on the creative community. When the platform actively diverts credit and engagement away from the source, it destroys the motivation to share original work at all.
For many, the reward for posting is seeing how far their work travels. If that travel is now invisible or attributed to others, the labor of creating becomes thankless.
This system makes creators want to share nothing. If the platform is built to harvest a creator's effort for the benefit of curator blogs, the logical response is to stop providing the raw material. I am one leaning into this category. Without us creators, the curator blogs have nothing to curate.
By making it harder to protect and track one's own work, the platform is effectively telling creators that their presence is secondary to the conversations happening around their work: conversations they may no longer even be able to find.

Finally, the original has crossed my dash.
@strangezeroz welcome to tumblr where the app decides when you can be gifted with the sight of og memes, you cannot look for these yourself via the search engine, you won’t find them, you have to wait to be gifted them
For those of you who might be new here, Tumblr has no algorithm, legendary memes are brought to your dash by mutuals like pet cats bringing you dead birds.
Hello dear mutuals. I have brought you a dead bird.
i do appreciate the dead bird dear mutual.
comrades, take a look at this fine wonder.
Hello my counsel, please accept this offering of a dead bird
CARRY MEEE DOCTOR 🥰🥰
ao3 comments will be like "i like this line of your fic" and my reply will be like "fantastic thank you here's my entire thought process about how i ended up with that particular line and also an outline for another fic i have and fifteen resources i used to research 1980s politics" and nobody asked for that chill
i asked for that
No we 100% asked for that.
Definitely asked for that, and also here's the other three dozen lines from your fic that I liked and the outline for the fic they inspired me to write plus some extra character meta that at this point is only tangentially related to your fic but was definitely inspired by those 1980s politics resources and -
Actually I want the author to telepathically describe me his entire creative process so I can scribble it in the walls like a madman from a cosmic horror novel
"Toby fox doesn't like AU's!! All of them mischaracterise characters!!!! Especially Sans!!!!"

Thought this might help others who struggle when writing. I know I get in my head too much.
#and I think because you are developing like 19 different skills simultaneously#but the ones that you're better at feel smooth and easy and therefore not noticeable#but the places where the pen drags metaphorically feel more significant#so it's like oof ouch the struggle (doesn't notice the 100 hundred things that would be very hard without practice & experience & skill)

[Text ID: I don't know who needs to hear this, but writing is hard because you care about it and you want it to be good, not because you're bad at it. /end ID]

In a theoretical Dandy’s World story mode, I like to imagine the current toons you have get together to vote for the next toon you buy. They would certainly have some fascinating discussions…
What level of asexual is it when you do have a sex drive but also never want to have sex yourself?
Because personally I’m like, reading/watching/drawing sex stuff? Absolutely, give me 10 of them,
Having sex with another person myself? No thank you.
THIS THIS THIS!!
I've never wanted to have sex myself, I want these fictional characters to do it on my behalf. Fuck, my jesters! FUCK!
