The Tumblr writing community is dying.

It’s something I’ve noticed over the past two years of using this site. It was gradual, imperceptible at first, something that most would brush off as a silly concern, or fault Tumblr algorithm for. While it’s true that Tumblr’s engine leaves a lot to be desired, I’ve noticed that even popular blogs have started to dwindle in terms of interaction or motivation. There could be a lot of reasons for this, but the biggest two I’ve noticed, experienced myself, and asked fellow writers about is this: (1) content being stolen, and (2) lack of feedback or interaction. I’ve never seen any logical person defend content being stolen, so I want to address point 2 instead.

Lack of feedback and interaction. I’m not saying this on my behalf so much as I’m saying this for friends and smaller blogs who have lost motivation to write. I was looking at my yandere writing blogs list the other day and noticed that a good majority of them no longer write. I usually update the list every few months, and by that point, more and more writers have stopped writing entirely. This isn’t a problem confined solely to the yandere fandom; in fact, there’s less writing blogs in general these days, especially ones that are active. I used to run a very popular BNHA blog with some friends, but that dissolved after our content was stolen and our followers stopped interacting as much. Out of our 8,500 followers, we hardly got 0.015% notes (~128 notes) on an average post. Tumblr is to blame for the lack of eyes seeing our posts, for sure, but that also means that at least 128 people saw one post and didn’t leave a comment or ask. We were considered a big blog; imagine what it’s like on a small blog.

My friend recently made a post that summed this up perfectly: 

“I’ve seen people say “Be grateful that people even lurk on your page.” and, while I get the message they’re trying to say, it’s more dismissive and hurtful in my opinion. Like you’re saying, “Oh your writing is mediocre, you should be grateful people even LOOK at it.”

Me personally? I’ve heard the argument that AO3 is a better place to post fanfics, and while that might be true, I’ve had friends experience firsthand the lack of interaction there too. I’ve heard the argument that interacting with some writers is intimidating (me included). I’ve heard that argument that followers might be too shy to interact. I’ve heard the argument that writers should write for themselves and not for views / likes / reblogs / etc, and while that’s ideal, it’s not sustainable for everyone. What works for one writer won’t work for another, but you know what will? Interaction.

That comment or ask that took you 2 seconds to write? We remember it. That reblog with the compliments in the tags? We remember it. Every single ‘named’ anon we get (heart anon, sunflower anon, etc)? We remember them. And the best part is? It’s actually easier to do these things on Tumblr since you have the option to send anonymous asks or make a sideblog specifically for reblogs! Trust me, whether the lack of interaction is the cause of a lack of motivation or what have you, every writer appreciates feedback (don’t be shy to offer some critique or compliments) or even a simple keyboard smash with some emojis. Even sitting down for 5 min a day per week to comment on your favorite writers’ new pieces makes a huge difference. Personally, since Tumblr’s activity feed is beyond terrible and I have over 1,500 posts, I don’t always see new reblogs or comments on my content; asks though? Always see those, can never go wrong with those. If you don’t want to reblog or leave a comment, then you can never go wrong with an anonymous ask. 

As my wise friend says: writing is an art, and in order to improve that art, we need other people’s eyes to see what we don’t.

For the sake of every writer (past, present, and future) on this platform, please share this post.

He is.. my step dad.

Characters: Toji X GNReader

Anime: Jujutsu kaisen

Type: Headcannon

Warnings: Cursing, fighting, rudeness, yelling, teasing, brief mention of animal abuse, bullies.

Summary: 14 year old … Fushiguro just discovered they have a new step dad. What would life be like for them?

He wouldn't be one of those new step dad's that would try too get you too like him

Nope, he wouldn't even care if you cussed him out or even threw a knife at him

100% would laugh at your attempt to scare him

You fought with him for a while

Picking him apart, teasing him, talking over him etc.. pretty rude towards him

Then again.. this guy just showed up one day an your mom was shocked by your annoyance.

Slowly you start to get used to him ... Somewhat

Picks you up from school, just to piss you off. Since he IS good looking, it caused a steer amongst students AND faculty.

Learns to bring Megumi an Tsumiki along, cuz you weren't as vicious towards him

Finds out that you stand up to bullies, an would back you up one day.

You would make meals for everyone (kids) an leave a little for him

"You need help gumdrop?" "No, go away Toji" stands back while you whoop some ass.

He would call you nicknames just to piss you off. Pats your head if you were fully done growing, lifts you up cuz the man is STRONG, he loves to tease you.

He didn't mind, he found it nice that you even left him some

I SERIOUSLY THINK HE A HIDDEN COOK, CAN MAKE ANYTHING

So imagine your shock when he makes a beef Wellington, an brings out a homemade gravy that made you melt

An start to accept him.. sort of

"What are you doing?" You found him one day sharping all his knifes an polishing his guns

Your mother knew of his occupation, but told him to keep it from you

"Ugh.. my hobby?"

"Are ... Are you an assassin or something?"

"Yes."

Imagine that conversation with your mom an you, "HE AN ASSASSIN! HOW... HOW WHAT THE FUCK?! HOW THE HELL DO I KNOW HE WONT KILL US? OR EVEN KNOW HE WONT GIVE US UP FOR MONEY OR SOMETHING?!" (... Megumi...)

"I wouldn't get much for you, just maybe 1 yen."

Threw a knife and spoon an this motherfucker caught them so fast an sent them back.

😲 <- you -> 🤔 thinking for a second

"Can.. can you teach me?"

Que your weird love hate teaching relationship with him

He teaches you how to fight, much against your mother wishes.

Little did any of them know, you weren't the purest angel either

"No, if your going to kick me in the gut, put your full strength behind it."

After awhile, you both kind of bond, an he starts to tell you about his past. You both had similar childhoods, abandoned an alone..till a child an sibling came in.

Though, you do have a hate relationship (mainly you), if anyone tries to say anything negative about him best believe you were in there face

"If anyone is going to say negative things about him. It'll be me!"

"Hey! He maybe a deadbeat but he is OUR DEADBEAT" CUE HIS "YEAH.. THE FUCK?!"

One time someone took you hostage, an his training paid off cuz he arrived to see the guys beaten to a blood pulp.

"huh, could have killed them" "Toji! Can I get some praise?"

Straight out found his last name was Zenin an teepeed the Zenin estate with the help of Megumi an Tsumiki one night on the way back from the park

Nearly died, but hey... It was worth it.

"Why did you do that? You co-" "Fuck the Zenin Clan, they bitches"

🥲 had to quickly wipe a tear from his eye

"But also fuck you, cuz you ate the last of my cake"

He would *try* to understand an watch anime with you

Even started to read manga

"I wish I could get hit with Oikawa serve"

"Ugh.. what?" "Damn, if only Levi could yell at ME like that." "What the fuck."

Toji would be the type to slowly warm up to you, an bring you little souvenirs from some of his missions across Japan or even abroad

"It's a keychain" "I found it.." proceeds to hand you a *stolen* shirt saying "I love Kyoto" gives you a fucking Oikawa cut out

Toji the type of step dad that would help (or try) with school work, but then suggest to just threaten the teacher

"You have parent teacher conference? I'll go."

Imagine the teacher face seeing this beef (terrifying) cake walk in behind you

After that your mom banned him from going to teacher conferences

She also told you both not to go grocery shopping together anymore either

Ya... May have came back with more food an cops on your heels..

Towards the end of his life, you both became to pees in a pod.

He let you do his hair one time, pigtails all around. May have put some pink an blue dye in his hair.

100% would call you into school if ya were sick (or not)

If you were sick, he would try his best at making you some food. He was taking notes from the times the other two had been sick

I feel like if you (or the other kids) got hurt, too the point he had to take you to the hospital..he would panic

"Oh my god.. OMG WHAT DO I DO?"

Fucking sweet Tsumiki "they need to go too the hospital, their fever is 103"

You two were a force to be reckon with, both verbally an physically

Saw someone getting picked on? Both right there verbally telling them off.

Noticed a kitten or puppy getting abused? Toji had to hold you back from killing the people.

The night before he goes out (when he dies the next day), you tell him to be careful

"Don't die.. I have a weird feeling about this one"

Pats your head, an starts to tease you about warning about him. Of course you tell him it's not like that, but deep down you both know something will go down the next day

When you get word that he was dead, an that he arranged for Megumi to be sold to the Zenin Clan. All hell broke lose, your mom was gone, an you were taking the kids an were on the run for a few months

Till that weird albino rat showed up one day

"Here, I'll take you all in, but you.. have to say I'm handsome"

You fucking took Megumi an Tsumiki an walked away
