A PSA for tagging DPxDC Content
This post will include:
The proper tags to use when posting
Why we use them and not the parent fandom tags
A chart of key words to help you filter
Image descriptions under the cut
We know we can't control who tags what, and how tumblr chooses to work, or not work, but these are just some general guidelines to help everyone find or block our content.
What DPxDC Tags should you use?
General: dpxdc always
More Specific Tags: Batpham, dpxjl, dpxyj
For ALL ships please add “ship” after the ship name. For example: Dead Tired ship, Dead on Main ship, Double Edged Sword ship
What Tags should you NOT use?
Parent Fandom Tags: Danny Phantom, dp, Phandom, Phanart, Phanfic, DC Comics, DC Universe, dc, Batfamily, Batfam, Superfam
Variations of General Tags: dp x dc, dcxdp, dc x dp, dp x jl, dp x yj, dp/dc, dc/dp,
For ships please don’t tag JUST the ship name. For example: Dead Tired, Dead on Main, Double Edged Sword
As a general fandom tag we are using dpxdc, WITH NO SPACES.
Why no spaces? Tumblr is so glitchy it’s baffling a very functional website. Because of this we’ve received reports that sometimes if a post is tagged "dp x dc" or “dp/dc” then, even when the tag is blocked, the posts will still show up in the individual "dp" and "dc" tags. That isn’t cool.
Why is it important to tag separately?
dpxdc is a big crossover. The crossover fandom has been rapidly growing over the past year. The crossover fandom drowns out the original dp/danny phantom fandom by a lot, especially for people who may be interested in dpxdc but also want to enjoy regular phandom content. By not using the dp and danny phantom tags, it helps a lot to not drown out the main fandom's inhabitants and content. dpxdc as a fandom tends to pump out a lot of content (which is amazing), but that means that we need to be careful to not suffocate the main fandoms. "Why can't I tag the danny phantom or batfam main fandoms? it's a crossover" -- yeah, it is a crossover, but it's a crossover that is huge (especially in comparison to danny phantom) and dpxdc has taken over the main fandom tags. It's causing a lot of animosity and tension on both sides.
Additionally, the crossover (like most fandoms) comes with some common characterizations, tropes, aus, and concepts that tend to be interpretations that do not link back to the main fandom well. While fandoms come up with their own characterizations, tropes, aus, and concepts, it's important to know when a crossover fandom has existed long enough to establish its own sets of common themes that the main fandom may want nothing to do with.
This doesn’t mean you have to pick between dpxdc and its parent fandoms, like Danny Phantom or DC or Batfam. Indeed, by NOT tagging dpxdc with its parent fandoms, you are ensuring that people who want a space for dpxdc and a space for its parent fandoms can have both! We don’t have to pick sides! But in order to have both, we need to tag dpxdc content with a tag we can search (that is, dpxdc), AND we need to make sure we’re NOT tagging the parent fandoms (such as, danny phantom).
What if I don't want to see dpxdc content?
Here {link} is an in depth guide on how to block tags and filter certain content from appearing on your dash. We also ask that you please keep any venting out of the dpxdc.
However, if you’d like an easy list of terms to just put into your filters, we’ve made a chart!
Thank you!!! 🦇👻🦇👻🦇👻🦇👻🦇👻🦇👻🦇👻🦇👻🦇👻🦇👻🦇👻🦇

So there's this ex-racer, right? He had a lovely career, won races, got sponsorships, etc. and now he's happily retired. He's seen his miles (heh, miles) and now he'd gone to the countryside to calm down. Well, he's living great on his own, his own little house, his own (still fast) cars, his own little town. Well, in his little town he stumbles into this sweet man at the grocery store, literally stumbles into him, and by god its like a fanfic. When he falls he drops his things, grabbing the toned arms of the taller man. when he looks up, damn is he hot. He's got this lovely salt and pepper hair, some smile lines and far too many worry lines too. The taller man chuckles and liftes the racer from himself, crouching down to pick up the groceries he dropped in the process. The racer doesn't even realize the other man is talking till he registers the silky smooth voice in his ears, and the hand on his shoulder, and the mans face a little too close to his own. Once the racer finally realizes what happening, he flushes and takes everything, scurrying away a blushing mess.
He thought thats the last of the other man he'd be seeing definitely not in his dreams no when the racer stumbles into the man again at the library, with the mans child. A sweet young girl who challenged his knowledge on racing and cars until he outed himself as an ex-racer. Then, he saw the man again with his child at the coffee shop. At the arcade. The bowling alley. He continued seeing the two until he saw the man by himself at the gym, and damn he was a lot more toned than he originally thought. The ex-racer talked to him and was able to officially plan a date no he did not giggle like a teenage girl when he got home.
Eventually, after a few dates when the man was walking the ex-racer home, the man walked the racer to his doorstep, and placed a rough hand on the ex-racers cheek, somehow cupping it softly.
"I had a lovely night, Fenton." The ex-racer said, fluttering his eyelashes.
"I did too, McQueen." Danny said, leaning in for a kiss.
i hope you all hate me as much as i hate myself :)

How to use the Tumblr Tag Blocking and Content Filtering functions with nifty screen shots
[with small about dpxdc venting/hate posts at the end]
First, what is Filtering Tags and what is Filtering Post Content.
Filtered Tags: the tags you hide here will be hidden from you dashboard and in search.
Filtered Post Content: Post content filtering searches the entire post for the word/phrase you add. Not just the tags.
Below is a series of screen shots showing where the blocking/content filtering option are and how to use them.
DESKTOP: got to setting and scroll down. Tag filtering and Content Filtering are right above the Community Labels and under where your birthday is displayed.
MOBILE: Click on the gear in the top right corner of your dashboard → go to General Settings → scroll down until you see Filtering. There you will be able to see all of your blocked tags and filtered content once you add it in.
You add a tag or content to filter by, by clicking the plus sign and typing in the EXACT phrase or tag you want to filter out. As you can see in the video below, if you only block Jazz Fenton/Jason Todd only things with that exact tag (for tag filtering) or phrase in the post (content filtering) will be hidden.
Therefore you CAN block Jazz Fenton/Jason Todd and still see Jazz and Jason content respectively.
Jazz/Jason Content Filtering.mov
Here is an example of tag filtering we did with the dpxdc tag so you can see how it will look if you have a blocked tag, and how to UNBLOCK a tag very easily. Note that it’s really easy to block and unblock tags, and the change takes place IMMEDIATELY so it’s easy to block/unblock at your leisure.
dpxdc Tag Blocking.mov
A helpful cheat sheet for words/phrases to filter by!
On another note: PLEASE DON'T tag vents or hate about dpxdc as "dpxdc" or as "dp x dc" as those are the main fandom tags.
Thank you!!! 🦇👻🦇👻🦇👻🦇👻🦇👻🦇👻🦇👻🦇👻🦇👻🦇👻🦇👻🦇
