You know, an interesting tumblr transformation that's happened gradually, and which I've seen no one talk about: ask-culture has essentially dropped off to nothing.

By which I mean, asks used to be WAY more of the tumblr economy. They used to be more common to send, and receive, and see. They were integral to the collaborative, forum-like behavior of old tumblr communities, not even to speak on the HUGE number of ask-blogs that used to exist to only be interacted with in ask-form.

I'm not saying this in a vying-for-attention way but instead in an observational way: I used to get way way more asks in like 2015, even with a fraction of my follower count. I wonder if it's due to the homogenization of social media sites? There's a lot more of this divide between "content creator" and "consumer" instead of just a bunch of peer blogs who would talk to each other. "Asks" aren't really a thing on twitter, are they? And as I understand it, the closest thing to an "ask" on instagram or tiktok would be a creator screenshotting some comment and responding to it in a new reel or video or whatever those content mediums are. Are asks just too tumblr-specific? Is that aspect of the site culture dying out as more and more people converge to using all their social media sites in the same way?

i love when random tumblr users find my blog and go through it liking and reblogging everything in a frenzy, it feels like i’ve been cultivating a nice backyard with a lovely birdbath and feeder and i’ve glanced out the window to see a bird going absolutely wild with it

REMINDER TO THE TWITTER REGUGEES THAT TUMBLR IS AN INTERACTIVE SITE.

See how your dashboard is covered in posts? Yeah, that’s because people reblogged them. Reblog posts. Reblog artwork and gifsets and text posts. If you like a post, reblog it.

“Oh but I’m nervous about social interaction” reblogging isn’t social interaction. It’s not. It’s adding things to a virtual scrapbook by yeeting the additions into a swirling vortex. No interaction necessary. Someone makes a post you like, you reblog it, that’s it. Job done. Zero interaction, but a post has made it one step further in finding its way to people that might enjoy it.

Reblog stuff. For fucks sake.

[clanofmikiwing]

The bots have apparently realized they were too obvious and now don't add a description or title to their blogs at all so reminder to any new users to have Something there or you'll end up blocked and reported by mistake

OOC Post:

Text to Pokémon site

I messed up and didn't get a proper screenshot like I did for my other blogs.

I did another one

Kinda like @coatlscoatlseverywhere 's, still looks kinda like Xana, mixed with one Clink!

Heya! Just asking as someone who's interested, but very unfamiliar with askblogs (both in terms of interacting with one and possibly running/managing one)- I've had a few questions about them, and was wondering if you could share your thoughts?

Do askblogs serve to directly convey an original story, to act as a little side adventure with the cast, a "get to know" kinda thing, or does it really just depend on what the creator wants?

How do you approach out-of-character related content?

When different askblogs interact (ex: one askblog asks another in-character), are there any limits or bonuses that have to be considered?

Do you ever worry when sending/answering an ask? If so, what helps to get over that hurdle?

Sorry for the bombardment of questions! I'm a huge newbie when it comes to this stuff, and this is the first time I've tried to reach out directly. Your work is awesome, and I love seeing your stuff come to life ^^

Credit to @daybreak-mun for their amazing contribution!

I'll add a list of additional tips beneath the cut, but hey! If you're an existing askblog, or just someone in the community, feel free to reblog with your own wisdom!

Q: How do you approach out-of-character related content?

Answer: Everyone handles ooc content differently - though a common way to separate it from the rest of your blog work is to utilize tags! Such as #ooc #modspeaks, etc!

Q: When different askblogs interact (ex: one askblog asks another in-character), are there any limits or bonuses that have to be considered?

Answer: First and foremost, check the blog in question for any pinned posts/pages regarding their rules and guidelines! Every blog is different, and some artists may have their own boundaries you will have to respect if you want a positive response (or any response at all!)

That being said, common sense and basic respect will go a long way! Ask questions relating to the plot - 'hug asks' or vague requests can be interpreted as an attempt to get free art and will most likely be ignored. And as always - never send explicit or offensive asks containing NSFW themes or hateful language.

Q: Do you ever worry when sending/answering an ask? If so, what helps to get over that hurdle?

Answer: Inbox anxiety is actually very common within the community, so don't worry if you're not sure what to say! Many blogs will have a page or post dedicated to Ask Hints to guide newcomers along, and it's good to remember the worst response you can get to a poorly shot ask is a 'no'!

If your ask is ignored, don't take it personally! An artist might simply be overwhelmed, or saving your question for a separate portion of the plot. My advice for sending and answering asks? Practice, practice, practice!

The more you do it (no matter how short the question/response), the easier it will be!

Hopefully that helped @azurityarts!

I apologize for not being all that productive the last few days guys the heat down here where I live has really taken a toll on my motivation to even do the smallest of things...half the time I feel like the wicked witch of the west and I'm gonna melt into a puddle XD I'm still at work right now, today's gonna be a late day unfortunately...and since there probably wont be any art posted for a while, I thought I'd start up a muse game! ^^ It's been awhile since the last one I did with you guys lol. So I figured I'd get a start on it now so that when I get home I'll have a decent pile of asks to answer.

There are a lot of you who are probably new to one of these muse games but no worries the game rules are simple.

Send an ask to any of my characters with one of the following emojis to get a specific question answered. Make sure you type the name of the character you're asking first. (character's name):(emoji)

RP Muse Asks

👍👎 Are you optimistic or pessimistic?

🗣 Are you introverted or extroverted?

😬 What bad habits do you have?

🤣 What makes you laugh?

❤️ How do you display affection

💪Strongest character trait?

😪 Weakest character trait?

👊 How competitive are you?

👏 How do you react to praise?

🤬 How do you react to criticism?

😭 When was the last time you cried?

👻 What haunts you the most?

⛺️ Are you indoorsy or outdoorsy

🤤 What is your guilty pleasure?

🫂 What quality do you value most in a friend?

🪞If you can change one thing about yourself what would it be?

😍 What is your obsession?

🙄 What are your pet peeves?

(These are good to start with. You're still welcome to ask them any other questions that's not listed as well if you get your own ideas. Also if you have a hard time finding some of these emojis, its fine. You can just send the question ^^)

All right I'll leave you guys to it, have fun!! :D

new discord hacking scam

this one is pretty clever

basically

you get DMed by a hacked member of your friends list

they say someone with the same username and avatar as you sent someone inappropriate pictures

they invite you to join a server to see the accusations and defend yourself

they say that they cannot risk having a creep on their friends list until you defend yourself

they block you so you feel pressured to join the server to defend yourself

if you join the server it tries to get you to scan the QR code to log in, which hands over complete access to your account

never scan QR codes on discord. do not join these servers. do not put the rest of your friends list in danger.

Munday Meme Extraordinaire

[clanofmikiwing]

Those both sound absolutely scrumptious!

A lot of my clan have sweet teeth, so they'd be happy with either!

Hrm... Should I make red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting and strawberries, or a double chocolate cake with chocolate frosting and chocolate bark curls... Decisions, decisions...

#especially one of our Imperial members! #her name is Felicity I think- she's pink! #she has a MAJOR sweet tooth! #maybe Delilah could learn a thing or two from you!

[clanofmikiwing]

A Spiral and a Guardian are relaxing, enjoying time together.

They seem very close.

But they will spill the beans on their clan however!

*Will you inquire them or walk away?*

No NSFW

You can swear, just no slurrs, or things like the r- word.

Feel free to look though my lair and hibernal den for more dergs to ask- it doesn't hafta be these two! ;)

Mun is shy but will answer if/when she can
