Curate, connect, and discover
completely valid and wholeheartedly understandable, let’s see what tumblr has to offer :3
mentioning the nice person in the comments ! you’ll have to type that user’s name out completely, so maybe it’ll be a hassle with names that have random keyboard smashes or extra letters added to words... and not to mention the awkwardness (but you do get used to it after a while)
the reblog is good for doubly exposing your content to the world, even though it’s awkward... (but i definitely would not mind seeing more of your content on my feed <3)
messaging is also probably out of the question, since it may be seen as weird (but omfg i would freak out if you messaged me. i love your analyses btw-)
uhhhh posting a general 'thank you to everyone that likes my content' and pray that the people see it
tbh tumblr needs some other ways to respond to compliments in the tags...
telepathic gratitude is probably the least socially draining one tbh. you are absolutely completely valid
and that is... all??? of the reasonable ones??? so little... and so taxing on one’s social battery...
but i do hope you have a nice day, and that you gain the energy for any of these displays of thanks <3
for the most part I really love tumblr tags and tumblr reblog tag culture but it haunts me that I never know how to respond when people say nice things in the tags of a rb of my posts. like, it feels weird to rb my own post and say thank feels weird to message people to say thank you feels weird to put it in the replies what is a guy to do !!! just hope my telepathic gratitude comes through ? if you have ever said anything nice in the tags of my posts I am buying you a baked good and your favorite drink no take backs
