(sub-blog)

❀ Fandom sub-blog of [xiola.tumblr.com] so I might just use that one instead of having a separate one since it's that's one people see when I follow them T_T Might just reblog only the kpop posts from my main blog to curate it? IDK yet. ❀ ❀ Kpop ate my soul again: Ten Lee, Haechan, RenHyuck, Key; 5HINee, NCT, W6yV ❀

PSA:

I think for now I’m mainly going to use my base account (not this one) and see how it goes, since sub-blogs are a bit awkward on tumblr; when you follow anyone the base account is the account they will see anyway so subblogs aren’t great for following/ interacting with moots. this is my base account --> https://xiola.tumblr.com/ I used to use this one for fandom posts, but I’ve been using twitter without separating my accounts so I think it’s better moot-wise to try to just use one account.

But I might reblog just the kpop-only posts over here if the other account gets too mixed, but idk? Haven’t decided yet

I can’t stop listening to this mashup o_o IDK this person’s mashups are amazing?? Like their level of detail with everything is so insane it’s so well done (I know Exo MAMA isn’t everyone’s jam but I love dark SMP it’s one of my favourite Exo songs lol). I have both their NCT megamix mashups on repeat too… D:

Y'all: ugh I wish fandom content creators would post more 😩😩😩😩😩😩

Also y'all when someone posts fanart/fanfic/edits/etc:

[hpnextgenastrology-deactivated2]

look im not popular in any way when it comes to my content creating and i absolutely understand that more attention makes you feel good about the content you’re putting out but I think that one, depending on other people for your own drive to create content isn’t really okay. also there’s always going to be more likes then reblogs like I don’t know, I don’t think this is something worth complaining about.

[kyojuuros]

The main issue here is that it didn’t used to be this way. At all. And I’m certain a lot of the people who are making a huge issue out of the like to reblog ratio are people who are been here for a while (like myself) and remember the days when reblogs dominated the hell out of likes. 

Up until around 2016 or so, the like to reblog ratio was the total opposite of how it is now. And it applied on posts with fewer notes and posts with a large amount of notes:

You get my point. But over the last few years it has flipped completely:

And, of course, see OP’s screenshot.

It doesn’t take rocket science to figure out that the posts with more reblogs have an astoundingly higher amount of notes because of increased exposure. Reblogging allows more people to see the content, that’s more people to either continue reblogging or at least give a like. For artists in particular who would benefit from the exposure in terms of commissions and patreon and all of that, this is a huge deal. It can make all the difference. 

Tumblr as a blogging platform was created with the intent to post and share content. It’s not meant to be a consume-only form of social media like Instagram. For fandom blogs in particular, it always boggles me that people don’t share content that they like. Tumblr was appealing for fandom in the first place because of the ability to plaster your blog with amazing things that other people made - this used to be unheard of. For me, it’s like saving something precious so you can always come back to it again. It’s giving the people who follow me something awesome to look at too. Creating and sharing content is the heart of fandom.

People rely primarily on their dash for content. Most people avoid going into tags/searches because of wanky fandom drama. So reblogs are crucial for exposure! Likes are a nice gesture, but they do nothing to help share and promote content. That’s why content creators are frustrated or moving to other platforms, or why they stop making content altogether. Tumblr has its issues, but it’s still one of the best places for exposure due to its reblog function and overall post formatting. It’s discouraging seeing content creators on Tumblr as a concept die off. This site is nothing without them.

We can enjoy making things as much as possible but when we share it and no one cares enough to show it to others, it does make us wonder why we bothered in the first place. And this isn’t a new complaint from content creators. But it has worsened over time as the likes started dominating the reblogs. 

It’s not that we don’t appreciate likes at all, notes are notes. But reblogs equal more notes, which equals more exposure, which equals happy content creators, which equals more content for fandom to consume. It’s a wholly positive chain of events that circles back around. Your reblog could be a deciding factor on whether that content creator chooses to keep contributing or to give up entirely.

Reblogs mean the world to us. They can really brighten our day a whole lot.

Outfit swap? Gon gets Kurapika's, Killua gets Leorio's, Kurapika gets Kil's, and Leorio gets Gon's?

shockingly i am still drawing some of the requests but anyways i really liked this one

requests are closed!

[xiola-fandom]

...I can’t get over Leorio ^^;;;;

[xiola-fandom]

Killugon in 2 sentences:

Gon is Nice but not Good and lacks the emotional intelligence to realize it Killua is Good but not Nice and lacks the self-esteem to realize it.

(That’s why the role-reversal in their friendship throughout the show works so well. Niceness shows up first. Goodness shows up later.)
