I'm In The Middle Of Season 5 Of Doctor Who And Midnight Is Definitely One Of My Favourite Episodes.

since twitter users are migrating here i figured i should make one of these since i was also one of you at one point :)

welcome to tumblr! here's how to do it aka a list of things i wish someone told me when i first joined

we ACTUALLY USE THE BLOCK BUTTON. there's no harm in blocking someone. i know you feel like blocking means the other person "won" or you're conceding or blah blah blah but no. blocking is for your own peace of mind. and you can block for any reason! don't like their vibe? hate the layout? bad opinions on your faves? block and go on with your life

cannot stress this enough. LIKES DON'T DO JACKSHIT HERE. yk the bookmarking feature on twitter? where it lets you save tweets for later? that's what likes are on tumblr. they're a way to save a post. they don't make that post show up on other people's dashboards or anything. reblogging on the other hand? THAT'S what spreads posts. reblogging is like liking AND retweeting at the same time.

2nd 'cannot stress this enough'- if you're on desktop, USE THE SHINIGAMI EYES EXTENSION. it'll help you know which blogs are terfs/radfems so that you can block and avoid them and tell your friends who to block and avoid.

you can never truly delete a post. oh sure you can delete the original. but once someone reblogs it? it's there forever. you can still see all the reblogs that everyone has reblogged of that post. same with editing- if you edit the original, only the original changes. the reblogged version stays the same.

you don't lump words together to hashtag. for example, if i wanna tag something as percy jackson, i don't write "#percyjackson". i write "#percy jackson".

you'll notice that when ppl reblog, they talk a ton in the tags. that's what they're for. if you wanna add something to the post but you don't think it's important enough for the main post section, you add it in the tags.

you know how on twitter you can follow topics. that's what tags are like here. on twitter i would follow the topic "percy jackson" but on tumblr i gotta follow the tag "#percy jackson"

another one i can't stress enough- anons on here are NOTHING like curiouscat or tellonym. they are not there for you to spew hate unabashedly. we don't believe in cowardice here. you got a problem w/ someone? say it on main or keep your mouth shut. anons are for people who are too shy to ask questions with their account visible.

comments (while not as useful as rbs) are still good. comment a ton! it helps you talk to other people and express any opinions

there is no such thing as clout here. the only ppl who have it are neil gaiman, neil cicierega, and those 2015 youtubers (dnp, thomas sanders, tyler oakley, etc). no one can see your follower count but you. anyone you follow could have 50 followers or 50,000 followers and you would never know unless they told you. it honestly doesn't matter.

GIVE YOUR BLOG A HEADER AND PFP. don't just use the one tumblr automatically sets for you. people will think you're a bot and block you instantly because if there's one thing people HATE on this site? it's bots.

same if your blog is empty. post something, rb something, just do SOMETHING otherwise you'll be assumed to be a bot

the "based on your likes" feature is not based on your likes. at all. not in the slightest. so just toggle it off tbh

tumblr is like a massive archive. it is 100% normal to see posts from 2012 or reblogged posts from accounts that have been deactivated to circle around again.

there are so many fuckin porn bots on here. just block them

your likes and follows aren't public unless you toggle that feature on, but people can see when you like and follow them

for extra privacy, you can hide your blog from search results (including external sites like google or yahoo), make it only viewable within the tumblr dashboard, or password protect it (ppl will have to enter a password in order to view it).

turning on submissions basically means that users can submit posts to your blog. you don't have to allow the submission but if you do, it'll have a small heading underneath the text that says "submitted by (insert username here)". you can turn on and off any types of submissions you want to allow or not allow

i'll add some more in rbs bc i hit word limit

Heeey, dear people, it's been a while! I know I've disappeared, but it's cos I barely draw lately, disappeared into watching streams and playing after work. Though I do draw some sketches sometimes, which I bring you 🤲

They are not perfect, but I like them a lot 😄

DW watching update

I've recently finished watching all the seasons that run from 2005 and oh. my. god. It won't be a lie to say that I love all the doctors. And I was very sceptical about Thirteen because of all the comments I saw, but she is such a ray of sunshine 🤲

Ten and Fourteen are the dearest, Twelve is super badass, Eleven and Nine are great. It was a wild 5 months journey and I can safely say that DW got deeply in my heart! Now rewatching the 60th anniversary specials and Fifteenth Doctor to go, so curious!

Oh

My

God

How gorgeous this art is

David's BAFTA looks 🥰

Oh dear people, you can't even imagine how much your comments and cool tags make me happy and gives the inspiration to continue

"Are you done yet?"

Twelve would like to come back to his own adventures, not participate in The Doctor × Posing

I'm in the middle of season 5 of Doctor Who and Midnight is definitely one of my favourite episodes. This terror in Doctor's eyes and how shaken he is, horrible and fascinating

Burned

Hand, anyone?

That was a topic "Heat"

Miles and Misha are very close friends with pretty blurry edges of allowed. But their men are used to the fact that these two can kiss out of overwhelming happiness or share a little peck of support

To get ps vita to play its games but also super old nes ones? More likely than you can imagine
