Hey dude! I kinda have a question, and because you’re pretty cool and friendly, I wanted to ask you. How do you make friends online? Hope you’re doing well!!

well first… darling… 🥺🤍✨ thank you <3 and second! a lot of it is starting with following people whose content you enjoy, whether that just be posts or if it’s full fics and amvs etc. and then interact with them! adding tags on posts, sending asks (even and especially anon asks! i’ve been an anon a lot, and most people would love to have someone who sends asks every once in a while anonymously or not). a lot of times people will recognize you if you’re in their notes a lot, even if you only like their posts (i have a few followers i know by sight, just bc they like things <3)

sometimes it’s pretty scary to put yourself out there, and friendships don’t normally happen overnight, but over time you can really build some nice things with people just by consistently showing up and being nice in the tags of their stuff, or being passionate about the same things! :)

#i hope this is good advice! sometimes Things just Happen to You and you gotta ride along with it like a river #i’ve been blessed to find a supportive community here that hypes up my creations and that helps people Know Me #but a huge part of me starting out here was me seeing stuff i enjoyed (like art etc) and reblogging it and just letting them know i liked it #this is mainly coming from an in-fandom-space perspective but it works for other spaces too! if you find someone funny or relatable or kind! #i would also recommend avoiding a lot of discourse blogs because those can become pretty toxic #if someone is always starting fights or being nasty etc then they’re probably not the person you want to be a close friend #ask and ye shall receive / knock and the door shall be opened #tw emoji #also if you’ve read this far (i know i ramble a lot) you can be a reoccurring anon with me! lemme know if you wanna tag or if you want to be #off anon and then we can just talk back and forth :)) <3
