[Personal] 1.500th post
welcome to my 1.500th post (no reblogging, my posts only笑) and to my new followers → welcome to my tumblr♪♪
I’m going to use this opportunity to to talk a bit about my original plans + how things turned out, the things that lead to the current concept of this blog and of course my projects that come along with everything^^
so if you are interested in me and my little blog... feel free to join the journey through leenaevilin’s tumblr history^^ ↓↓↓
welcome and thank you for joining me on this little trip through 1 1/2 years posting on tumblr^^
I’m Leena (31), your tour guide^^
for more ‘personal’ and/or 2.5次元 related information, please check my previous post:
♪ Answer 30 questions
♪ Let’s talk about our favorit actors and why we would do ’everything’ to make him/her smile^^
♪ End of the year 2.5D Butai/Musical Asks! (2017)
so, enough with the personal story^^ let’s start the trip down the memory lane…
I originally started this tumblr June 4th, 2016, but it took me a whole year (June 29th, 2017) to actually post something 2.5次元 related笑
I started with a few [(ᵔᴥᵔ)] posts because I wanted to contribute to the community I love and recived so much in the past. I had the plan to slowly add my whole collection (mainly Nakamura Yuuichi related^^) of stages, dramas and movies and spread love. despite being a member of tenimyutopia on livejournal I decided to move to tumblr because I didn’t want to be restricted to ‘only’ tenimyu related actors and (probably the bigger reason) I was pretty annoyed of the ‘requesting’ habit... when I first joined this beautiful fandom no one would ever ask if someone would be willing to share their stuff out of the blue! we waited until someone announced it and were greatful for anything but nowadays people seem to expect us to share with everyone and think that ‘asking’ if someone is willing to share his/her DVD is no big deal... anyway, I thought creating my own blog would be the best way to get away from this problem and the first 2 months seemed to work perfectly. everyone was nice & respectful and I found some really nice people who share the same passion. I was able to spread some love until reality hit me and a bunch of my friends hard...
around Mid-August (2017) people started to upload our videos on streaming sites to gain ‘a moment of fame’...
and in October (2017) basically all of the links to my videos (and the videos of my friends) were shared on facebook and some russian fanpages.
it’s time for some facts:
♪ do not think we are stupid and won’t find out that you share our links ♪ it’s really obvious when a rare video appears on youtube and co. shortly after one of us shared it here on tumblr ♪ if you want to show it to your friends just simply send them to the original post and we will gladly share our videos with your friend as well!!
anyway... I had no choice but to shut down my links and re-think about the concept of my blog. I already started to post some infos about upcoming stages and thought it might be a great idea to use this blog as a place to gather information about japanese stages (mostly 2.5次元 related) so I have less trouble when adding stages/roles/actors @ mdl...
but soon I felt the urge to do more... I thought about what ‘sharing love’ actually means to me...
my conclusion:
a) sharing pictures of my favourite actors & stages b) showing ways to support and get the newest stages (streams/DVD’s…) c) share videos to inspire people to be more interested in this beautiful culture
so in the end I decided to start sharing videos again... but this time with a huge list of rules and some arrangements to prevent people from sharing my stuff
explanation time^^
♪ why do I have to send an ask OFF ANON? → well I’m having a problem with anonymity in general… the internet itself is an ‘anonym’ place so why hide even more and use the function to ask anonymously?? I can’t hide either so let’s communicate ‘face to face’. I don’t bite (as long as you are polite^^) so no need to be shy! → you can’t answer anonymous asks privately...
♪ why can’t I upload your video to streaming sites → I’m trying to keep a low profile and so should you!! streaming these videos is causing great attention and if the industry finds out about it we might no longer be able to buy any stage outside Japan (+ they might stop thinking of sending certain productions to Europe, America and Asia) → why do you want to share something that isn’t yours in the first place?? you are hurting the feelings of the person who actually PAID for it and is willing to share it with you for FREE → btw. the same goes for gifs, audio files or screenshots I don’t want to see the stuff I share anywhere else... if you want to share something please buy the streams/DVDs yourself
♪ why do I have to tell you (in detail) that I will follow the rules → that’s simple... I want something that proves you actually understand my rules. in the past people only told me ‘I will follow the rules’ and claimed later that they don’t speak english and didn’t know they weren’t allowed to share my videos
♪ why don’t you provide subs? → keeping up with all the newsfeed & recording/editing/uploading the videos basically consumes my freetime and I do have to sleep from time to time... so there is simply no time for me to sub the videos I share
♪ why don’t you share HQ videos? → I only share TV or live stream recordings at the moment... and the recording program I’m using won’t provide ‘high’ quality unless you are willing to get a 40G big file as a result...
♪ why do I have to add a mark to my ask? → you might not believe it but a lot of people forget to mention what video they want... so with the mark I know which link I have to send^^
a lot of people might think that my rules are stupid but there is a reason to each end every single rule... so please pay attention to every single one and make sure to follow them♡ please check out my HOW TO ASK ME SOMETHING post if you need help^^
and now... back to the story^^
with my new rules and my little watermark on my videos I think I finally found a way to prevent people from streaming my vids. I’m glad that I had no bigger trouble ever since (besides the ‘ochanomizu rock - incident’...) and really happy that my followers started to respect my wishes and simply enjoy the videos privately♡
I’m really enjoying this community and love to interact at least a bit with my followers... so I was extremely happy to get to know some of my new tumblr friends in person during the performance of Musical Touken Ranbu in Paris. but as usual... life is a roller coaster and I had to learn (again) right before I went to Paris that there are people out there who are jealous of everything. I’m not sure if they were jealous because my tumblr is popular or just because I was lucky enough to see toumyu in Paris... but the moment I stated my opinion I was insulted and taunted by those haters. I was really sad... especially after I found out that this group of haters started taking screenshots of my posts and used them to harasse me on twitter... but in the end the whole incident made me stronger and I decided to use my blog to not only spread love for japaneses stages but to make sure that we STOP CYBERBULLING!!!
please stop being mean to each other and try to be respectful to a person you don’t know. it’s always okay to have a different opinion and to state it… but there’s no need to be insulting!!
STOP THE HATRED, SPREAD LOVE ♡
that said...
お疲れ様! (otsukaresama)
we are at the end of our tour^^
