aight, i dragged my feet long enough about this...
let's talk about him!!
as i've mentioned before i've been setting up @bosburningplace to be my new blog!
the short of it is this: i've had this blog for nearly a decade. i wanted to delete all of it's content and start anew with my following and followers intact but i could never get the backup file to download. so i figured making a new one is the second best thing.
if you want to read more about my rambling and what to expect check out whats under cut!
so why not delete this blog and start fresh?
im sentimental. even if it makes me uncomfortable to have all of my awkward teenage posting remain on the world wide web, i'd rather it be public than lost. sure it's mostly reblogs but even those are fun to look back at. what media was gnawing up my insides 8 years ago? what completely opposing opinions did i reblog within hours of each other? i just spent way too much time on here not to have a reminder going forward.
but doesn't tumblr send you a back-up of your blog?
they sure do! but i could never get it download fully and i could never see anything in the broken zip file that remained on my pc. i'm not tech savy so i just assumed it was too big for my poor puter to handle and gave up.
but since you are following almost all the same blogs what's going to change?
well you see my dear literary device i have 2 other side blogs! one i made not long after this and another in 2018. the first one was for ~aesthetic~ posts that didn't quite fit what i was reblogging and at first contained bit more original content. the second one was for fanart and fan content that i didn't quite feel spaming my main blog with. it holds a great deal more explicit content as well. with bo's burning place i intend to not edit the stream of conciousness that is my blog so here's what to expect on my new blog:
more original content. i need to start publically stating my opinion if i want to go back to academia and get my ba. i need to start getting used to making 0 note flops because as currently is i'm afraid that if i commit a single thought to writing i'll be ridiculed and exlied. will these be meaningful thoughts? ohnononoo! it's whatever mundane 30 note post doesnt sit right with me for some petty reason or ruminations on breakfast.
spam. i mean the same picture of the same anime blorbo, reblogged 47 times in a row. i see them when i close my eyes and so will you. i will see about making a spam reblog blog if this annoys too many mutuals
more(?) explicit content. i've already started reblogging everything i would've put on a side but i never fully commited to it.
regular smegular reblogs of art, funnies and animal videos as you've come to know this blog
occasional still life photo or painting that i want to lick
for this reason i miiight dip my toe into using tags as they were intendid. i hate typing out tags so no promises
why did i drag the transition out this long?
i thought tumblr would send me one of those "your blog is x years old" notifications and i could post it. according to my archive it shouldve been sent by now but i also have vague memories of getting one in april like years ago? i also vaguely remember making this blog on my pc alone after midnight on new years when i was 14... who knows when this blog was really made, ive surely given up guessing.
anyway i feel like i once more overrated my own importance.
we here at not a newspaper magazine thank our esteemed readers for (nearly) 10 years of being a weird shut-in with us!
