Yknow Ever Since People Realized Tumblr Isnt Dead And Have Decided To Flock Here From Twitter And Tiktok

yknow ever since people realized tumblr isnt dead and have decided to flock here from twitter and tiktok ive seen a huge influx of people in fandom spaces who dont reblog anything. at all.

like, i used to have an art blog with 340 followers. not a ton but not a small amount either given how this website works with creators. and in my experience back then even the ones who only left likes still reblogged other things or at least posted their own stuff. literally the only empty blogs were clearly bots.

but on this New art blog, i’ve had so many people with fandom-specific headers and icons with actual usernames as urls and some kind of title or description, but have. Nothing. no posts. all they do is like things. and it’s always public, too. their following list and their likes list.

and honestly all it makes me think is that these people are New and also don’t know how tumblr works. how likes don’t give exposure. not even in a “oh, i know it doesn’t give exposure, but i’m still going to reblog anyways” way, but in a genuine honest to god straight up doesn’t realize tumblr likes don’t work like twitter’s.

PLEASE please if you’re from tiktok or twitter or whatever please reblog people’s art both fandom and original if you like it!! and maybe actually pad out your blog’s content in some way so people won’t potentially see you as a bot and block you.

REBLOG ARTIST’S WORK. THIS IS THE ONLY WAY THEY GET ANY ATTENTION ON THIS WEBSITE OH MY GOD. PLEASE. I BEG of you

i figured I should tell the story of my bee (if I haven’t already) One day in probably November because my memory is bad, there was a bumblebee on our doorstep. It wasn’t moving so I picked it up with a leaf and put it on my leg. I asked my mother to grab some honey and put some on my hand for the little thing to eat. Turns out it was alive just really slow. I heard bees slow down when it’s cold but I’m not sure if that’s true. I wasn’t really sure what to do with it but my mother wouldn’t let me take it inside, so obviously i did. It started moving a lot when it got warmed up and I got paranoid I was gonna get injured somehow so I held my hand out the window of my room and it flew away. I named it after the protagonist of the manhwa “Father I Don’t Want to Get Married”, Juvellian Eloy Floyen, which I’ve since stopped reading but still love the characters.

I wonder how it’s doing. It’s probably dead.

Ways to support Ukraine 🇺🇦

More than 500,000 people have already left Ukraine due to the invasion by the Russian Federation. The European Commissioner for Humanitarian Aid and Crisis Management estimates that roughly 18 million Ukrainians will be affected by the conflict in humanitarian terms, with 7 million internally displaced and 4 million seeking refuge elsewhere. To help those still in Ukraine, as well as Ukrainian refugees, we’ve compiled this list of resources.

HelpUkraineWin.org has a collection of vetted and trusted resources, charities, and organizations to help Ukraine.

Some additional ways to donate:
