seeing a major rise of AI generated content on tumblr and just wanted to share that i will block anyone who supports AI generated content, including reblogging it or using it as their profile picture.
i’m a professional illustrator, but even if I wasn’t, i’d find this behaviour appalling. by supporting AI art you’re directly stealing from artists.
hope anyone reading this is having a great night :) i’m working way too much to get something out right now, maybe expect something from me during the summer! and wish me luck on my uni finals!
I’m so fucking sick of AI
the idea of a clutch purse is nightmarish to me. the whole point of bags was so we could escape the torment of holding things. and now u gotta hold a bag.
So cute 🥰

New Part: 10 Lethal Injury Ideas
If you need a simple way to make your characters feel pain, here are some ideas:
1. Sprained Ankle
A common injury that can severely limit mobility. This is useful because your characters will have to experience a mild struggle and adapt their plans to their new lack of mobiliy. Perfect to add tension to a chase scene.
2. Rib Contusion
A painful bruise on the ribs can make breathing difficult, helping you sneak in those ragged wheezes during a fight scene. Could also be used for something sport-related! It's impactful enough to leave a lingering pain but not enough to hinder their overall movement.
3. Concussions
This common brain injury can lead to confusion, dizziness, and mood swings, affecting a character’s judgment heavily. It can also cause mild amnesia.
I enjoy using concussions when you need another character to subtly take over the fight/scene, it's an easy way to switch POVs. You could also use it if you need a 'cute' recovery moment with A and B.
4. Fractured Finger
A broken finger can complicate tasks that require fine motor skills. This would be perfect for characters like artists, writers, etc. Or, a fighter who brushes it off as nothing till they try to throw a punch and are hit with pain.
5. Road Rash
Road rash is an abrasion caused by friction. Aka scraping skin. The raw, painful sting resulting from a fall can be a quick but effective way to add pain to your writing. Tip: it's great if you need a mild injury for a child.
6. Shoulder Dislocation
This injury can be excruciating and often leads to an inability to use one arm, forcing characters to confront their limitations while adding urgency to their situation. Good for torture scenes.
7. Deep Laceration
A deep laceration is a cut that requires stitches. As someone who got stitches as a kid, they really aren't that bad! A 2-3 inch wound (in length) provides just enough pain and blood to add that dramatic flair to your writing while not severely deterring your character.
This is also a great wound to look back on since it often scars. Note: the deeper and wider the cut the worse your character's condition. Don't give them a 5 inch deep gash and call that mild.
8. Burns
Whether from fire, chemicals, or hot surfaces, burns can cause intense suffering and lingering trauma. Like the previous injury, the lasting physical and emotional trauma of a burn is a great wound for characters to look back on.
If you want to explore writing burns, read here.
9. Pulled Muscle
This can create ongoing pain and restrict movement, offering a window to force your character to lean on another. Note: I personally use muscle related injuries when I want to focus more on the pain and sprains to focus on a lack of mobility.
10. Tendonitis
Inflammation of a tendon can cause chronic pain and limit a character's ability to perform tasks they usually take for granted. When exploring tendonitis make sure you research well as this can easily turn into a more severe injury.
This is a quick, brief list of ideas to provide writers inspiration. Since it is a shorter blog, I have not covered the injuries in detail. This is inspiration, not a thorough guide. Happy writing! :)

I’ve seen a lot of posts on my dash tonight about users who are threatening suicide, with other Tumblr members posting in effort to try to get ahold of them. I think you all should see this:
IF THERE IS EVER A TUMBLR USER WHO HAS POSTED A GOOD-BYE MESSAGE, SUICIDE NOTE, VIDEO, OR ANYTHING OF THE SORT, PLEASE FOLLOW THIS POST.
1. Scroll to the top of your dashboard.
2. See the circular question mark icon at the top? It’s the third one over from your home symbol. Click on that, and a screen similar to the one in the picture will come up.
3. Where you can type in questions, the box with the magnifying glass at the top, type in the word “suicide.”
4. Click on the first link that shows up. It should say, “Pass the URL of the blog on to us.”
5. Type in the user’s URL and tell Tumblr admin that the user is contemplating suicide and has posted a message indicating that they are going through with it or will be attempting. Hit send! Tumblr administration will perform a number of actions to contact the user and take the necessary steps to prevent the suicide.
TUMBLR: THIS COULD SAVE A USER’S LIFE. PLEASE DO NOT IGNORE SUICIDE THREATS.
Reblog this to keep other users aware. Suicide isn’t a joke, and neither is someone’s life. If you didn’t know this, someone else may not, either. Pass it on.
WARNING BOOPING ME MEANS I WILL SPAN BOOP YOU BACK! CAUSE Y'ALL ARE AWESOME!!!!!!
I am become boop, the destroyer of worlds.
Needed this, I never really understood reblogging and was really chicken about it 😅
THANK YOU!🩷
Hello lovelies,
I wanted to shed and share some info on re-blogging. Perhaps you're new to Tumblr and are not sure what re-blogging is, or means. 🤔
Or perhaps you're a silent lurker here, afraid to start re-blogging because you're not sure how or why you should.
Don't worry, I, and with a little reluctant help from Joel, (Dave has gone on a top secret mission 🤫) have you covered. 🖤
Sorry to interupt your coffee Joel, but we have work to do... chop, chop! 👏🏻
☝🏻First of all let me just start by explaining that Tumblr is not like other social media platforms. The algorithims here are vastly different.
Where you may be used to pushing the like ♡ button over on Instagram, X/Twitter, TikTok etc..., to boost and share the things you like out to a wider audience, Tumblr's like function works very differently.
For a start, it doesn't actually mean you 'like' the post at all. It's simply a way of bookmarking the post.
And it doesn't boost that post to wider audience either.
You'll find the like button on the bottom of each blog post. Here it is circled:
When you hit the like ♡ button on Tumblr, that post is saved, or bookmarked, into your own like list.
Tumblr notifies the original blog poster (OP) that you "liked" their post.
That's it. 😐
That post then gets pushed to the bottom of your like pile each time you like something else. The more things you like, the more that post gets buried and forgotten about.
Absolutely you should! Like I say, it tells the OP you liked it. And if you wanna bookmark things to come back to later, it's a great way of keeping track.
But... there is something else that's more important that you should probably do if you liked their post.
You should re-blog it. (And comment too, The Tumblr Trinity, but we'll cover comments another time.)
A re-blog is you sharing the original creator's post on your own blog. (Not by copy/pasting it into your own post, that's plagiarism, bub. That shit will get you killed. Joke, but it is a big no-no!) But a re-blog allows you to share the post whilst giving credit and recognition to the OP.
At the bottom of every post you'll see this continuing arrow symbol, or ouroboros if you will. 🐍 ('Cause an ouroboros depicts something forever continuing, and if you re-blog something, it's forever continuing... geddit? 🤪)
This is the re-blog button:
By re-blogging it, the algorithm on Tumblr pushes the post into all your follower's orbits and it will appear on their dashboard.
They'll see your re-blog and can either re-blog your re-blog themselves, or click on the OP's post and re-blog it directly from them.
Either way, the original content poster get's notified whenever someone re-blogs their post, as does the person who re-blogged it, if they re-blog from a re-blog - make sense? 🤪
If you simply just 'like' the post and do nothing else, no-one else is notified that you liked the post except the OP, and it goes to die a sad, lonely death at the bottom of your like graveyard. 💀
Yes, if you like a post it tells the creator you like it, sure. But that's it. There's no other engagement there. It simply tells the creator "Joe Bloggs likes this." That's it. 😕
But by re-blogging the post instead, it tells the creator that "Joe Bloggs liked it so much that they wanna share it and see more from you, dude! Yay! Party in re-blog alley and everyone's invited, woo!" 🎉
You get the point. But it gives the creator that boost to share more of the content you like to see.
The more they share, the more you re-blog, and the more you re-blog, the more they share. Ouroboros, see? (And you thought it was just a snake eating it's own butt...)
🤓 Tumblr is a site that was specifically created for sharing the things you like through re-blogging. That's what makes it different to other social media platforms.
It's a place of engagement, making friends and building communities - all through sharing in the things you love.
If you want a silent and non-engaging platform where you don't have to get involved, then Instagram, X/Twitter etc... is probably the way to go...
But you're here on Tumblr for a reason, right?
No. Let's get outta that mindset that sharing things you enjoy is annoying - it isn't.
And if anyone ever says to you to stop re-blogging or liking their stuff so much, then they're probably not understanding the whole point of engagement and sharing on Tumblr...
I guarantee you that if you re-blog something, no-one is gonna be pissed off at you, bub.
Look, no-one is holding a knife to your throat demanding that you must re-blog everything-
Joel, chill my dude. We don't stab our chums here... 🙄
But creators don't share their work for it to be forgotten about or for no-one to engage with it. If we didn't want anyone to see our wacky shit, we wouldn't post it online.
Creators share their work to engage with their followers about it, especially in fandom communities.
Creators make art, GIFs, write stories, share thots thoughts, and share their medium with you so you can enjoy it and share it and get excited about your blorbos together, thus creating a fandom community. 🤝🏻
However, you are not obliged to re-blog or like anything if you don't want to.
We understand there are people who want to just remain silent and prefer to lurk. That's completely okay and creators should never bully you or put pressure on you to do so.
☝🏻It does/will upset us however if you ask/demand more from us when you don't bother to engage or share, FYI... so please bear that in mind. If you want more, show us by re-blogging our work.
We'll always encourage you to simply re-blog what you love, because we wanna share it with you and talk about it and be your friend, and squeal over that broad-shouldered man together. 🥰
If you simply 'like' something, you have to manually scroll all the way back through your like list to find it again.
Say you liked 1000 posts. That's a hell of a lot of scrolling you gotta do to find the post you liked, right? And ain't nobody got time for that! 😨
But, if you re-blog the post, you can add tags to it so you can then search for it and find it easily on your own blog.
For example, you re-blogged a cool post about Joel Miller...
Oh, hey Joel. We're talking about you, not to you... as you were, handsome.
You can tag your re-blog 'Joel Miller' when you post it. Then, you can use the search function on your blog, 🔎 type in 'Joel Miller' and every single post you've ever re-blogged using the tag 'Joel Miller' will be found and shown to you.
Ta-da! ✨️ No scrolling for bloody hours to find it.
☝🏻You can also queue up re-blogs if you're worried about continuously re-blogging.
Say you found 12 posts of Joel Miller you like and want to re-blog, you don't have to re-blog them all at once, one after another.
You can queue them up by adding them to your queue to be posted a few hours, days, weeks, months, or even years apart.
Queuing re-blogs also keeps the original post circulating (ouroboros 🐍). And creators will often use queued re-blogs when creating content in bulk to save time and not to flood their followers with too much content at once.
☝🏻There's no limit to the amount of times you can re-blog a post too. So if you really love that post about Joel's, uh, bulge 😏 you can re-blog it again and again.
You can only ever like a post once though. Boo. 👎🏻
Absolutely. It makes creators very happy.
And will also make your dash very happy too as when you re-blog something, Tumblr will suggest more content that's similar to it for you to enjoy.
So if you reaaaally like Joel Miller, (and who doesn't? 🫠) your whole dash can be filled with him! Bulge ahoy! 🍆🫡
He likes the sound of that really...
🗨You can also add comments to your re-blog too...
Yep! You can free type in the space at the bottom of the original post, and the OP will see this and is able to respond to it by re-blogging again.
You can even have a whole conversation through re-blogs if you want to. And others can be tagged to join in too for even more fun mayhem! 🤗
So if you really liked that Joel Miller fanfic you just read, you can type your thoughts into the re-blog itself.
And FYI, creators LOVE comments. (I'll cover comments and tagging in another post. Don't worry, I got you.)
And Joel just loves fun too, don't you, Joel?
So, I hope that gives you a better understanding on what re-blogging is and why it's so vital on Tumblr and in fandom communities.
If you found this post helpful in any way, then you now know what to do, right?
Re-blog it! 😁
Thanks so much for reading, and I'll catch you next time in another Tumblr Topic post. Stay kind and keep it creamy. 🖤
oh my gdO CAN YOU DRAW GODZILLA MOMMA CARRYING LIKE A HUNDRED LIZARD BABIES ON HER BACK FOR TAKE YOUR CHILD (lizard) TO WORK DAY
oh SHOOT well i cant swing 100 but how bout
I don’t even care if it’s macaroni, ramen or those little bowls you stick in the microwave. Please, I need reassurance that most of the population on tumblr WOULDN’T STARVE TO DEATH if their parents couldn’t fix them food or they couldn’t go out to eat.
This way people can see they’re not alone. I have them and this would help me see that.
Growing.
