TUMBLR 101: a helpful guide for tiktok refugees

are YOU a former tiktok user trying to learn how to use tumblr to fill the void the american tiktok ban is leaving in your soul? here are some things you should know, from someone who’s going on their eighth year on this hellsite:

1. you can say anything on here. gone are the days of having to use words like “unalive” and “seggs.” murder! kill! sex! fuck! speak your mind!

2. there is a community for you on here. regardless of what you’re into or however small the fandom is, you have a place here. at least one other person will have heard of your weird obscure interest. strike up a conversation!

3. followers don’t matter. tumblr is one of the last remaining social media sites in which your number of followers means absolute jack shit. this can be disorienting at first, but once you lean into the fact that everyone on this website is equal, it’s very freeing. clout means nothing here.

4. similarly, you can post at any time. while tiktok has an algorithm that favors certain times, tumblr has no such algorithm. post whatever you want, whenever you want. every post has virtually the same chance at getting notes, regardless of when it is posted.

5. tags can have spaces between the words! this one is very exciting. tags can be a whole sentence. you can also use the tags to comment on someone’s post without actually adding onto the physical post itself (which is sometimes frowned upon and called “derailing” if you use this feature to bring up a completely different point other than the one that’s being made on the original post).

TL;DR: speak your mind, find your place, followers don’t matter, post anytime, have fun with tags!! tumblr is a wonderful site used to share things you’re excited about. be patient with yourself as you’re learning and have fun!

Library cats! Cats in the library!

Yeah, and I’d love to see it with her interacting with Mags since her games was I think just a year after Lucy Gray’s. Oh and I’d love to see her just audibly shading Snow in the arena, knowing he’s watching because she knows she’s most likely not gonna survive the quell and might as well throw a few more potshots before dying

Caesar Flickerman: Now, you were the victor of the 10th hunger games ladies and gentlemen! Tell us, Lucy Grey, how different were those games compared to now?

Lucy Grey at 80 something years old, zero fucks left to give and knowing that she was going to die within a minute of the quarter quell: well Caesar, I must say that being hosted in an apartment building instead of being put in a rat infested zoo cage with the 23 other tributes and given no food or water until the games started is definitely a big step up.

I don't know, how about switching it off?

Great, now I can unsee that! 😭

for context: filipinos sometimes use their own ship names as their child's name, so "finnick" was the ship name in my little jokey joke.

I second this!
