Well fucks? Get to it!
1937, stage in french cabaret, burlesque
Shameless and indecent
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
Reverse au Aziraphale and Crowley for DTIYS challenge from Instagram organised by @linuxvaloare! I'm in love with their style, really, a chief kiss 🤌
Hand sneak peek, because I'm so impatient to share the whole art, but will be able to normally take photo of it and edit only in the evening t.t
Enjoy the hand 😏
Doctors and emotions. Some kind of study? But also to rest a little from big arts, when hands itch to draw anyway. I LOVE drawing emotions
One year difference
That was for Oc-tober topic Tasty (ice-cream, of course)
Previous year I didn't really like how this art turned out and recently I decided to redraw it for fun to see how the style changes.
For all the new people here, that's my oc Mikhail (Misha for short) Dunlopov from 1920s, aristocrat, his roots come from Russia and Scotland. When he was 17, his grandfather picked him to Scotland. And in few years he ends up living in London, hanging out with bright young things and being besties with Miles Maitland! A photographer.
Also he has a dog, russian borzoi girl, called Belka (that means squirrel) 😌
Big thanks to Neon for throwing a gorgeous photo I could absolutely not resist ✨
The moment of calm at the battlefield. And Toni picked this moment to clean shave with a little help from Misha
