Tips for people moving here from tiktok who haven’t been on tumblr before!!
-reblog stuff often! It’s how the ecosystem lives and thrives, everyone interacting and sharing each other’s posts
-sometimes someone will reblog a post that was originally created years ago, this is not weird or frowned upon, it’s a part of the reblogging culture and just helps bring back good/funny posts
-block people liberally, which is not a requirement, but a part of tumblr culture is that if you don’t like someone or what they post, just block them. It creates a better environment for everyone because you see only what you want to see, so just don’t take it personally if someone blocks you
-if you want to say something you think is important/useful/good when reblogging a post, you can just add it as text to the post
-if it’s something not very important but just commentary or a reaction, add it to the tags instead (I love seeing people’s reactions in the tags of a post and I think more people should participate in this)
-if you want to say something specifically to the poster and not to other people as much, say it in the replies
That’s all I can think of for now but if anyone has stuff to add please do :)

ৎ SIMPLE, HUMANISING THINGS :
⋆ forgetting where you placed your favourite book and finding it weeks later under the sofa.
⋆ your favourite sweater has a small snag, and you're debating whether to fix it or keep it as is.
⋆ a mug with a tiny chip in it that you still use because it's your mug.
⋆ a bit of dust on the piano keys or an unmade bed when you're in a rush.
⋆ tripping over your dog/cat/stuffed elephant because they're lying in the doorway.
⋆ shoes that hurt but you still wear them because they look good with your outfit.
⋆ your favourite jeans have that one little rip that keeps catching on things, but you refuse to stop wearing them.
⋆ spending ages finding the perfect lighting for selfies, only to hate them all later.
⋆ accidentally biting the inside of your cheek while eating and then obsessively poking at it for hours.
⋆ a specific smell in your wardrobe—a mix of old perfume and wood—that you’ll never be able to explain to anyone else.
⋆ stepping into your shower and realising someone moved all the bottles around, leaving you scrambling to find your conditioner.
ৎ A BIT MORE IMMERSIVE AND FLAWED :
⋆ spilling coffee on your notes for an important meeting, and the frantic wiping and swearing that follows.
⋆ hair that won't co-operate no matter how much you brush or style it.
⋆ a scratch on your favourite vinyl record that skips during your most-loved song.
⋆ wearing mismatched socks because it was too early to care.
⋆ running out of your signature perfume and having to use something random you don’t quite love.
ৎ FAME RELATED :
⋆ paparazzi catching you mid-sneeze and that photo somehow going viral.
⋆ having to sign something bizarre, like a fan’s forehead, and wondering how your life came to this moment.
⋆ someone mispronouncing your name or a film title in an awards speech, and you laughing about it later (but it still stings).
⋆ the occasional paranoia about people liking you for your fame rather than you.
⋆ attending a fashion show and feeling like everyone is silently judging your outfit.
⋆ arriving five minutes late to a glamorous event because you underestimated how long it would take to tie your shoes.
⋆ a director giving you confusing instructions on set, so you end up delivering the most awkward line of your career.
⋆ fans who ask the same question in interviews repeatedly, and you have to smile through it like you’re hearing it for the first time.
⋆ losing your train of thought during a speech and having to awkwardly laugh it off.
⋆ a quiet moment backstage when you realise you forgot to eat, and now you’re inhaling a slightly stale croissant.
⋆ the ache in your feet after a long day on set, and that moment of relief when you finally kick off your shoes.
ৎ RELATIONSHIP AND INTIMACY :
⋆ an inside joke with your s/o that doesn’t make sense anymore, but you keep saying it to each other anyway.
⋆ him stealing a bite of your food every time, even when you specifically said you weren’t sharing.
⋆ a silly fight over who hogs the covers, only to end up tangled together anyway.
⋆ watching him try to cook and making a complete mess of the kitchen, flour on his nose, but you can’t stop smiling.
⋆ a fight with your s/o about something petty, like who forgot to take out the rubbish, and realising later how ridiculous it was.
ৎ OVERWHELMING AND OVERSTIMULATING :
⋆ sitting in your apartment but feeling lonely in a way that your friends can’t fix.
⋆ misplacing your phone, then realising it's right next to you after searching everywhere.
⋆ public appearances where everything feels too loud.
⋆ losing a ring or piece of jewellery with sentimental value and feeling like it’s all you can think about.
⋆ rain-soaked boots squeaking as you walk through a marble lobby, and the humiliation of slipping just a little bit.
⋆ a room so crowded and loud that it feels impossible to breathe, but you’re too stuck to leave.
⋆ the guilt of not responding to texts from friends and family because you forgot.
⋆ waking up in your apartment, and for a second, forgetting where you are, feeling disoriented but comforted by the soft hum of the city.
ৎ MICRO HUMANISING MOMENTS :
⋆ that soft hum of traffic drifting through your balcony at night.
⋆ the slight stickiness of your lip gloss on a windy day (ugh, hair always gets stuck in it).
⋆ the cold marble of a building against your hand when you lean against it while chatting.
⋆ a pen exploding in your bag, staining the inside and making you swear you’ll be more careful next time (you won’t).
⋆ the faint sound of your upstairs neighbour vacuuming, reminding you that even in your dr, you’re part of a shared world.
im starved for human connection atp
adding on bc this feels too vauge IF YOU ARE A RESPAWNER OR HAVE A DIFFEREING OPINION YOU ARE STILL WELCOME ON THIS BLOG HOWEVER please do not come to me about anything regarding respawning or try to talk me out of my opinion. i don't want to fight with people about this.
TW: SUICIDE AND DEATH
coming on here bc i wanted to be srs/make something clear, btw this wasn't triggered by anything recent happening but i wanted to state on here that for the record, i will not promote respawning on my blog. i will not encourage people trying to respawn, because i cannot in good faith encourage someone to attempt suicide, but i will not try and stop you or fight you about it. i will not tell someone they shouldn't respawn or try to respawn, as it's not my place, but if you are actively promoting and encouraging people (ESPECIALLY MINORS) to try and respawn, please block/unfollow me.
i have this urge to make meet me in my dr posts for all my drs selves...
Always
not ONE original experience
but fr TAG ME IN EHADCANONS SHARE THWM ANYTHING PLEASE I LOVE READING HEADCANONS SM
The best way to script all of the characters in my DR is really just to look at people's headcannons of them.
For example, Thai Shoji? Wasn't thinking of it until I saw a hc post and now it's in my script.
Now I really want to see script templates, mine is kind of ass but it's definitely better than my older ones back in 2020 during the era where shifting was BIG.
oh, you're sad? *wraps my wings around you* *wraps my wings around you* *wraps my wings around you* *wraps my wings around you* *wraps my wings around you* *wraps my wings around you* *wraps my wings around you* *wraps my wings around you*
