Sorry if this is stupid, but why do people put a * at the end of anders' name?

Why does tumblr not notify me when I have messages..... 

The * at the end of Anders’ name started a while back when some Anders fans got fed up with all the hate in the “Anders” tag, since a lot of people have strong, negative feelings about what Anders did. Also, Anders is a real name and there are a lot of non-dragon age related things in the tag. So someone came up with the suggestion that people who actually like Anders create a new tag that is specifically for Dragon Age Anders positive posts. That is the “Anders*” tag. I continue to tag all Anders stuff with the * just to keep things consistent for searching across my own blog.

Oh my god!! What a nice surprise holy shit! It's so good! Thank you so much for sharing it! I was forcibly transported a decade back and re-delighted with this au. If anyone out there still remembers our old College Age AU, please go check this out and give some kudos.

What happened to the lizards tail? :(

It’s actually very common for cresties to lose their tails. They’re very fragile and unfortunately, unlike other lizards, their tails don’t grow back. Hollywood lost his after he escaped his enclosure at his previous owner’s, I believe. I don’t know what happened to Dakota’s. I adopted him without his tail.

hey just noticed you probably accidentally tagged this post with gillian anderson instead of anders and thought you might want to know: post/153624373584

This may have been asked before (and if it's in an FAQ I don't see it bc I'm on mobile,) but why do you put an asterisk next to Anders' name in your tags? Thanks in advance B)

It has but I don’t mind answering again :) Anders as a character gets a lot of hate and there are a lot of jerks who think it’s okay to tag your hate so fans have to see it. On top of that, Anders is also a real name and a word in German, I think? So the “Anders” tag tends to get pretty messy. Anders fans made up the Anders* tag as a place to post positive Anders stuff. Even though my reblogs don’t end up in the tag, I still tag it with the asterisk for consistent searching on my own blog.

I started watching you for Anders, so re: Mass Effect, are you going to properly tag your stuff (or alternately, still post DA/Anders stuff?) cause I personally can't get into Andromeda for really specific reasons and can't see it on my dash untagged.

I have always tagged it as “Me: andromeda” and “Mass effect.” And yes I will still post Dragon Age and Anders.
