Whenever I talk about hockey with friends that I only see a couple times a year (but they’ve known me forever) they inevitably mention how weird it is that I’m into hockey and it’s so out of character for me & my interests.
and I’m just like...
They don’t know I got into hockey via the hockey RPF fandom on tumblr 😳😔

To illustrate this post by @mayahawkse I would like to visualize to you the difference:
A post in 2023:
A post in 2014:
A zoom out of the same post:
This is what a community looks like.
See how in 2023 almost all of the reblogs come from the OP, from their few hours/days in the tag search. Meanwhile in 2014 the % of reblogs from OP is insignificant, because most of the reblogs come from the reblogs within the fandom, within the micro-communities formed there. You didn't need to rely on tags, or search, or being featured. Because the community took care of you, made sure to pass the work between themselves and onto their blog and exposed their followers to it. It kept works alive for years.
It's not JUST the reblog/like ratio that causing this issue, it's the type of interaction people have. They're content with scrolling and liking the search engine, instead of actually having a reblogging relationship with other blogs in their community.
Anyways, if you want to see more content you like, the only true way to make it happen is to reblog it. Likes do not forward content in no way but making OP feel nice. Reblogs on the other hand make content eternal. They make it relevant, they make it exist outside of a fickle tumblr search that hardly works on the best of days.
If you want more of something, reblog it.

Left is MY FIC, right is the ACTUAL BOOK QUOTE IT WAS INSPIRED BY
(Mask context: masquerade ball / cinderella au)
It has been doing numbers EVERYWHERE and I only found out from this lovely person who commented on Ao3:
So yeah I guess if anyone wants to read an 8 year old Song of Achilles fanfic written in a fever dream after watching Into The Woods, be my guest

had some lovely conversations with my mum this week. meanwhile my dad is still just not understanding the fact that I am disabled. it's all 'you CAN do things if you put your mind to them!' and whenever I say I can't he just views it as me making excuses. having a quitter's attitude. to him, me saying 'I can't' is me giving up before I've tried. to me, saying 'I can't' is stating a fact, a fact that I know from a lifetime of living with multiple chronic illnesses, and often the things I can't do are things I have tried to do.
I am a very positive person. I put effort in. I love to try things. admitting I can't do certain things is difficult and painful for me, and having people tell me that, well, I COULD do those things if only I just tried harder makes it so much worse.

listen there really was just something about how in the book, snow’s 3-page descent from hesitant lover boy to deluded psychopath happens entirely in his mind. lucy gray gives him no indication whatsoever that she suspects him, that she’s going to leave or betray him. he’s just sitting quietly in the cabin waiting for her to return when that seed of calculated suspicion, which he has needed to survive the capitol, takes a hold of him and chokes the life out of any goodness left inside him. it really drives home your terror as a reader that “oh my god did he kill her? did she escape? what happened to her? why would he even think that?” in a way that when the movie had to adjust for visualization it lost some of that holy shit this guy has lost it emphasis.
