[slushiust]

guys all of my friends (@elioexists, no one else) has been making sideblogs what should i do? make a sideblog, duh. but what on?!?! this is the real questions now we're talking. what do i like. i like poetry. what else do i like (just in case tumblr brings in ai)? i like worldbuilding. but i haven't done enough of it. i would do it based on a game im interested in but my chromebook has hindered me from progressing. i could do one about songs i make but i make songs like once every 3 months. uhhh. uhhhh. movies? media? media sideblog? would people be into that? i dont even have a main posting theme here i could just post media stuff on this blog just under a specific tag thing that i havent set up. my friends are making fun of me. i should do something cool. i dont know what though. any ideas?

Blog with ~300 posts disappeared

Side Blogs keep disappearing?

I keep trying to make a 3rd side blog, and it keeps disappearing. I've tried 3 times, and they always disappears right after I make them. They don't show up in my side bar, and don't show up when I search for them. But whenever I try to remake them, it says the URL is taken. I have made 2 different tickets with tumblr support about it, and I have gotten no response for either one. Is there anything else I can do?

Quick note for Sideblogs:

When dealing with mutuals or mutual-only blogs, say in your description where you’re following back from so they know it’s you.

In the rpc, the term “Mutuals” means that you and another blog follow each other. You follow them and they follow you. Many folks are “mutuals only” as this can come as a sort of comfort to those who are anxious about their partner(s) actually wanting to rp with them, since one would likely need to be followed in order for their partner to see their posts and replies. 

However, things can get hairy when doing rp stuff on sideblogs. Because of tumblr’s set up, sideblogs can’t follow back and requires the user of that sideblog to follow back from their mainblog - the blog they sign into. Unfortunately, sideblogs aren’t automatically linked to their mainblogs so if you want to be mutuals with someone, you need to follow them with your mainblog while they follow your side blog.

This makes things incredibly confusing for those with rp sideblogs, but it can be cleared up quite quickly with 1 simple step: Putting in your description that your sideblog is a sideblog and showing where you’ll be following back from.

Example:

With your blog announced as a sideblog, anyone who wants to follow your hub blog can do so and know that that hub isn’t a random rp or personal blog, but you following them back. UuU b

If anyone would like to help me with the following sideblogs, message me? I'm not on Tumblr a lot lately and could really use help keeping their queues filled. Dean and Cas Looking at Each Other: What it sounds like. Reblog edits/gifs of Dean and Cas looking at each other. Tag system is very basic. You can probably contribute to this just in the course of your normal tumblr browsing. SPN AU: mostly AU gifsets, but I'd like to start including AU fic, too. Tagging system is really just "tag everything someone might search for to find this" plus tagging common triggers. The Sleep Blog: Everything about sleep. Articles, comics, text posts, pictures of beds, whatever. If your aesthetic is sleep, you can help. Send me an ask if you would like to be added to any of these blogs! Thank you~💜

Do you know how to make icons full size in a sideblog, like an OOC blog? I know it's possible to have everyone be able to just use their own icon, but mine is only the sideblog's icon and then the person's icon small in the corner. Does this make sense? And do you know how to fix it?

I'm so sorry love, but unfortunately I cannot help you out. I am rubbish at html and anything to do with themes, so this is Greek to me. If anyone else can assist this anon out please like this! I do hope you get your answer boo, sorry again ~
