#why do we follow so many textpost blogs | Explore Tumblr Posts and Blogs

OK I know that the big meme is to try and scare Twitter users from joining but Twitter is a super toxic place and I have some friends who have fled here so. (done by voice-to-text, there may be typos)

Open Tumblr on desktop to do this because not all of these options are available on mobile. You'll be able to find all of them in your settings.

make sure you set your dashboard to chronological

turn off the ability to see other peoples likes (for reasons explained in the next bullet points)

disable your likes as being visible & disable the blogs you're following from being visible

The reason for the previous bullet points is that the Tumblr like is not the same as other social media - it is used as a bookmark button. Often times people will bookmark content to look at it later (videos, long textposts, etc.) but it is not an endorsement of the content. Information on this website is much more dense than it is on Twitter which is more bite sized, so not everyone will have read the texts or watched the videos of posts they "liked." People can and they will use your likes against you. and just like Twitter, if you happen to be following someone and that person says something the people don't agree with, if you are following that person you can get pulled into the situation even if you know nothing about it. so for this reason pretty much all of Tumblr has unanimously agreed to have their likes and follow blogs hidden to prevent unnecessary infighting.

Choosing not to see other peoples likes on your dashboard follows the same principle and it is one of respect for your fellow user

The above may seem deeply weird to Twitter users but we have far less drama on this website. It is significantly more peaceful because we have decided to curate the community in this way. You don't necessarily have to hide your likes or your follows, but that's the reason why we as a community do that. It used to get as bad as it gets on Twitter, but it doesn't anymore. We have learned to live in harmony here. fighting still occurs certainly but not nearly to the same extent.

make sure that you set the toggle that enables you to see content that is filtered on iOS. This is entirely safe for work content that was filtered out by mistake but Tumblr hast to keep in place to appease Apple or some thing like that but it does hide lot of content and prevents users from communicating with one another.

If you are 18 or older make sure to input your birthday to prove your age and have "mature content" set so that it either appears on your dashboard as normal or that it appears blurred. A lot of content is mistakenly marked as mature as a form of censorship even if it is not graphic in the slightest. I have seen text posts that use the word "fuck" that have been marked mature

YOU CANNOT POST PORN HERE. YOU WILL GET BANNED. if you post something that isn't porn and it gets flagged, you can usually appeal it. but if it is actual porn (irl or illustrated), you're in hot water. do not tag posts as "NSFW" or "NSFT" (not safe for tumblr, an alternative many porn blogs used). invent a different acronym for reblogging dirty jokes, or you may get shadow banned. i use NSFM, personally.

That said, you're technically able to say whatever you want on this website within reason. It's not like Twitter where if you say you want to guillotine the rich you get suspended or something. But do be aware that like Twitter, all text can be picked up by Tumblr search. So if you type something like " I want Stede bonnet to crush my head with his thighs like a watermelon" there is a chance that other users will see that post if they look in the stede bonnet tag. (hi all!)

most celebrities do not use this website so you're able to talk about them without censoring their names. Just be aware that fans of that celebrity may see your post.

likewise do be careful if you're talking about groups that perpetuate transphobia, because those groups do use Tumblr just like they use Twitter. if T*RFs reblog or comment on your posts, block and ignore. do not platform them by arguing. you put your followers (and accounts you follow) at risk when you engage them. you also reenforce their held beliefs that trans people are aggressive. it isn't up to you to deradicalize them. you can report people for bigotry on this website but most of the time the reports don't actually do anything. So your best friend is the block button.

The difference between commenting in the tags, commenting in the replies, and commenting directly on the post is thus:

commenting on the tags is the equivalent to sitting in a room with thousands of people and commenting to those at your table. Other people might overhear you, but the message is intended for those at the table, your friends.

Commenting in the replies is the equivalent to standing up and walking over to the person who just gave a speech. It is intended for them. Other people can overhear it and they definitely will - which means that some people might stand up and walk over to you and start talking to you. Especially if you say something really rude.

Commenting in the reblogs is the equivalent of standing on top of the table and shouting to the entire room. you don't do this unless you feel like you're contributing to the post in a comedic fashion or you're adding information that others may find helpful. Otherwise, you look like a clown. Also by commenting on a post, as with the replies, you are opening yourself up to a response from anyone else in the room. So if you're rude on someone's post, or you're spreading misinformation, people are going to want to have a word with you. You don't get to use the response "this is my blog and I say what I want" - because you've made the decision to go on to someone else's post.

Now with every form of communication, the OP of the post will be able to read everything. So if you're writing in your tags and you start trauma dumping or writing lurid sexual fantasies or otherwise being a weirdo, the OP of the post may block you. the OP (or anyone) may also choose to highlight your tags or otherwise respond to them depending on what is said. Sometimes someone will write something very funny or very thoughtful, and that's usually why. They want others to see the contribution.

There is also the notion of "prev tags." culturally, this is a relatively new development and a lot of people were mad about it at first. But the purpose of prev tags is to nod in agreement at the metaphorical table. You're keeping the conversation amongst you and your friends. Whereas screenshotting someone's tags and adding them directly into the post is the equivalent of shouting "HEY GUESS WHAT THEY SAID!" so it's entirely contextual. prev tags is also used as a meme. For example someone may say something deeply absurd. And so people will blog that post and say "prev tags" in a chain, encouraging people to follow that chain to the inevitable conclusion. A funny example I saw recorded in video form, was a text post that said something about white haired anime boys. And there was a chain of like 20 people encouraging you to work your way through the reblog. And the punchline was "Santa Claus."

although there is an option now to automatically shorten posts, it is considered proper etiquette to tag long posts as such. this post will be one.

when you reblog a post and you tag it, there are three primary things you are doing. One is to comment on it, one is to apply any categorization you wish so that you can find the post again, and one is to add filter tags for your followers who don't want to see that type of post. The last one is normally reserved for triggers - things like blood or violence or flashing images. People have different policies on this, but most users are willing to tag their posts if you ask them to. So if you were deathly afraid of frogs, you could ask someone to tag frogs for you.

and yeah Tumblr filtering actually works. If you block a tag, you will get a pop-up that obscures the content if someone blocked a post with that tag or keyword in it, giving you the option of whether or not to engage. But if you are looking in Tumblr search, those posts will be screened out automatically so you won't even see the pop-up. I think it's because Tumblr assumes that when you follow a blog you're following someone you trust, whereas Tumblr search is the wild west and it's full of strangers - so they're like "nope we are not showing you your triggers at all."

as for the second use case, you don't need to reblog a post and add 1 million categorization tags. Because other people aren't going to see your reblog in the Tumblr search. so you're wasting your time if you're like "#ofmd #our flag means death #our flag means death stede #ofmd stede #ofmd stede bonnet #our flag means death stede bonnet" - you look silly. this only works if it is the original post. Also because of the way that Tumblr works most of those tags a redundant because if you so much as mention a keyword in your post it's probably going to end up in the tag

do not tag an original post with unrelated hashtags. You will clog up the tags and people will hate you.

it is recommended that you have anon asks disabled because a lot of people use them to be cruel. But a lot of people leave them open for people who are too shy to talk to them otherwise. There are also a lot of ask games that circulate which makes use of anon. Like having your friends give you compliments, but you don't know who they are. so it's a personal decision and you can change it any time. But if people are being cruel to you, don't let them. It is OK to close anon asks.

while twitter makes great use of alt text, it is much more common on this website to write image/audio descriptions, which are pasted directly into the body of the post. Either in the original post itself, or in the replies. If someone transcribes your post for you, the etiquette is to thank them, copy their transcript, paste it onto your original post, and add a credit for the person who transcribed it. A lot of people volunteer their time doing this for people who otherwise do not have the spoons to do it themselves.

always tag flashing images and flashing videos. Do not tag with "epilepsy" - that prevents epileptic users from communicating with one another, because their tag is full of content that can hurt them. it doesn't eliminate the problem entirely, but it's part of a cultural shift to make those spaces safer in the future.

art theft is bad. Always credit and link to original sources.

The asks from people asking you to boost their fundraiser are scams. they are always scams. People on this website do not solicit one another in this way even if they need help.

if you like a post, you should reblog it. That allows your followers to see it and gives the post more reach. The likes as I said before, function as a bookmark. They are also used to show emotional support to a friend.

Tumblr has recently introduced the concept of unrebloggable posts. You can make a post unrebloggable from the get-go or you can edit it later. you can also make it so that the original post remains rebloggable, but an individual reblog of it cannot be shared. So for example, I could make a shit post that takes off and people enjoy. And let's say someone was rude to me in response to the shit post. I could reblog my own post, say " don't be an asshole" - and then make it so that the "don't be an asshole" edition is not shareable, but leave the original shitpost to be shared. some people may choose to make their original post and unshareable if they are receiving too many notifications, they are being harassed, the original post had misinformation, or simply for fun. Some people have started a sort of "you can only reblog this post until x date" game.

Tumblr has a feature known as the read more. Read more is actually a lot more complex than most people realize. The read more allows you to hide a long string of text under it, sparing people on your dashboard from having to scroll a long time. But a read more is not a drop-down button. It is a redirect link that takes you to the original post. And because of this, if the original post is edited, you will always see the most up-to-date version under the read more. This makes it an excellent format for news posts with developing stories. But because of this set up, if the original post is deleted or the blog is deactivated/banned, the information underneath is lost forever. it is important to be aware of that. Even if you reblog that post, whatever is underneath is entirely determined by whether or not the original post can still be accessed. So if you want some thing to be archived, do not put it under or read more. If your blog gets wrongfully deleted, that information is gone and cannot be recovered unless you have cache on the way back machine.

do not use a default profile picture and do not have a blank blog (blog with no reblogs). You will scare the user base and they will block you on site. The first thing you should do upon joining Tumblr is immediately changing your icon and then finding a or two to reblog. This tells people that you are a human being, and not a bot.

you can have sideblogs on this website. In fact there is no limit to how many blogs you can own. The only limit is how many sideblogs you are permitted to make per day. Side blogs allow you to organize content by fandom or theme. However the side blog will always be tied to your main blog. You cannot delete your main blog and keep your sideblogs, you cannot select a sideblog to be your new main. And when you send someone an ask, comment in the reply section of a post, or click like on a post, it will display as your main blog. So total anonymity is not possible. You can, however, send and reply to DM using your sideblog, as well as answer asks directed towards the sideblog, and reblog a post (and comment in the comment section + tags) as that blog.

URL hoarding is when someone makes the decision to save a username by making a blank sideblog so other people cannot use it. this is considered kind of an asshole move, especially if you have a lot of URLs hoarded, but I think most users have at least one or two that they have saved for a rainy day. I know for a while I had a lot that were Spock themed. you are able to change your user name, but that releases it into the wild. So some people will hoard their previous usernames to prevent identity theft (as well as to redirect to their most current username if people are looking for them.) This is a different thing, but some people view them as being the same.

Tumblr does not use "OOMF" or "moots" - we usually just say the entire word of followers and mutuals. Some people might be confused if you use Twitter terminology here

i think that covers most of it. no i will not put this under a readmore. thank you.

Imagine you speedrun Undertale and at the end if you go below a certain threshold Flowey pops up and is like "How many hours did you waste to achieve this you idiot?" And he closes the game and forces you to never press X to skip dialogue again or some shit

I think the fandom doesn't use the meme potential of reblogging literally any textpost and tagging it spamton even if it has nothing to do with him. We could change that

265 notes - Posted April 27, 2022

Maybe it's because I'm not from the same country as most of my mutuals but it's kind of funny when I read people arguing that Hometown is weird and then list some things that are completely normal for anyone that has slightly different culture.

"But why do they have a hospital with two rooms and someone staying there?" slightly modified Family Health Center (rough translation), next question.

"But What Does Sans Sell? his store is so small why does he have magazines? How would the characters buy X Item?" Have you ever entered a boliche? A corner store? They don't just sell food sometimes I've even bought cleaning products and your average school supplies.

"How is it possible chapter 3 is church day when chapter 2 was a week day?? Do they have school on Saturday?" Deltarune could be set in literally any day of the week if chapter 3 takes places during a local religious holiday. It doesn't need to be some christian Sunday. The school week doesn't even need to be Monday to Friday.

Now "Why is there a bunker far into the Southern edge of town?" is indeed a weird thing and the game is setting it up that way. Go wild with theories.

My #1 post of 2022

NOnonono but the entire point of the promise Sans makes to Toriel about "protecting the human coming through the door". Is that he really doesn't know who she is beyond the conversations they've had so far. And he doesn't know who the human coming out from there is. But they still trust each other to make it happen, regardless of timeline.

This happens regardless of Toriel's fate in the game. If you kill her, but not Papyrus, he still comments on this promise.

And here's the thing. He has to make the decision of trusting this woman he is fond of, but ultimately doesn't know beyond what they've shared together.

And Toriel had to make the decision of trusting him too. She is convinved that the world outside the Ruins will be hostile, because she knows what's happened before. And it fucking hurts to think it could happen again. And yeah I've heard all about it how she "rejected" her duty and didn't make the right choice back then. I think Toriel is somewhat aware of that. Her moving to the Ruins was a choice she made while grieving too, but it is a decsion that goes according to her integrity as well.

ANYWAYS I'm getting sidetracked. What I mean with this post is that the implications of trusting someone else with something that is so personal, because you know your limitations (because of flaws or any other cause), and having that person receive this in a good way is so important.

And while Sans is not the best at actively doing that job, it is still remarkable how much this promise is on his mind.

The VERY LAST THING he does before his No Mery fight is apologizing to Toriel, or his memory of her, because he had to break that promise.

This post is a mess but... I need to rotate them. And also I always get a little mad when people assume that Sans doesn't make that promise when Toriel dies, like in No-Mercy. Because the whole deal about the promise is that it happens before the game, it is not something anyone, not even Flowey, can affect, and it is a reflection of the closeness the two have, so placing this as something Toriel does only if she deems the human a good person, and something Sans only "keeps" when Frisk is pacifist just takes away that weight.

Also go play neutral routes they're super interesting to make character analysis. Different events affect different characters in specific ways.

Favourite Solo Artists: 谢天笑 (XTX), 刀郎 (Dao Lang), 刘森 (Liu Sen), Dean Martin, Celine Dion, 李荣浩 (Li Ronghao), Wheesung, Yoon Jongshin

idk i listen to songs/genres more so than bands/artists so I'm really reaching here, especially with the favorite bands.

Last Movie I Watched: Nezha Conquers the Dragon King (1979) like 11 days ago (I've been watching dramas lately)

Lucky Number: I don't really have one. This guy in my elementary school said his lucky number was 27 (his birthday was Feb27) so I used to steal that as my answer lol (omg wait that's tomorrow....)

When Did I Create This Blog?: 2020. I've been on tumblr since 2011 tho, I just accidentally deleted my old blog :(

Do I Have Any Other Blogs?: my sideblog where I just reblog textposts. It used to by my main blog but I decided to make this my main when I remade

Dream Trip: I'd like to go back to China with my sister and just do a straight up touristy trip. In the past, I've mostly just gone to visit family or follow my dad on business trips. I didn't even realise Chengdu, where my nainai used to live, was a big city until I was a teenager because every time we went to visit my family there, they would take us out the city to Buddhist temples and to hike up mountains.

Instruments: I used to play piano and cello (10 years and 7 years, respectively) but unfortunately I haven't really had access to either in years. I think it would be nice to pick them back up at some point

It's nice knowing someone as clueless and a clown like me.

It's comforting seeing your posts in the tags and the dash and I absolutely love this itsay set of yours. You are so talented and lovely and I hope that you have a wonderful year ahead.

It's lovely reading your tags, they are so cheerful <3 Hope you're doing well and taking care of yourself. You deserve to be happy always 💖💖

Omg this is so long. If you're still here, here are some of the works that I'm proud of. 1)This itsay set. This was my first time doing big gifs and although this is loooong I like how this turned out, specially the colouring. 2) This cause do I do anything except 2g shitposting? No <3 I had this idea even before s2g aired but decided to wait so that I have more shots from s2g and I'm glad I did cause Earn basically got confirmed as a wlw so (Also special thanks to Terry cause the Man and Air hc were hers,her phd brain ikr) 3)This cause dcjsdjidi SARAWATINE SOULMATES. I love how the colouring turned out despite the fact that ps crashed halfway and I lost the gifs i spent 2 hours colouring. I tried to do this with scenes from the series only but couldn't cause wHen YoU aRe wItH yOuR cAmeRA SHOW US goddammit. If this was ao3 this would've been tagged as Tine teepakorn loves Sarawat guntithanon xD 4) Still2gether textposts obviously. I KNOW that 90% people follow me for my 2g shitposting and I got an ask once saying how were they so accurate and the reason for that is I spent HOURS on these. Atfirst it took a long time but after a while I got the hang of it. It was fun (though sometimes tiring) to make these after each ep aired. I'm proud of it and the fact that I managed to do 13 parts? gsjsdjsj 5) Still2gether subs that looks fake but aren't. shutup this was my first time giffing but it was funnnnn looking for the (canon) crack parts after every ep aired.

Also,thank you to all the lovely people who likes and reblogs my posts, I do see you and I love you all <33

Tagging: If you’re here then consider yourself tagged if you wanna do this or to anyone who sees this on the dash

GETTING TO KNOW ME!

i was tagged by @xie-wang thank you so much!!! and because obviously it took my forever to get round to actually doing this (i'm so sorry) since then i was tagged by @haleths and @manwesbreath too thank you loves!!! 💜

why did you choose your URL?

i don't really remember the process but originally it was for my tolkien sideblog so obviously i wanted something that fits the theme and i love glorfindel and it was the only one i could think of

any side-blogs? name them and why you have them.

none, and after having like ten sideblogs for years i gotta say i'm really enjoying being annoying on main and i'd like to formally apologize to everyone who followed me back here out of loyalty after following only one of my old blogs (most likely the tolkien one) with more specific content and now has to put up with whatever the hell this is

how long have you been on tumblr?

4 years i think?

do you have a queue tag?

bold of you to assume i even use the queue and don't just reblog fifty posts in one go, leave for a couple of hours and then repeat

why did you start your blog in the first place?

this blog specifically because i was tired of my old one and felt like i wasn't really able to be myself on there but i feel like this question is more about how you ended up on tumblr to begin with in which case for me it was seeing star wars textposts reposted on instagram fan accounts back when we were waiting for tlj to be released and i decided to check out the source?

why did you choose your icon?

because it's hanguang-june babeyy

why did you choose your header?

i don't think there even was a thought process behind it, i just wanted something new since i was redoing my theme a bit for pride and it was the only thing i could think of so i went with it

what’s your post with the most notes?

this eowyn one i made for tolkienweek i think?

how many followers do you have?

134

how many people do you follow?

176

have you ever made a shitpost?

at one point i'm sure i have but not recently i don't think?? my sense of humour is basically nonexistent until it's like 4am and i'm too exhausted to have any reservations about saying whatever's on my mind so it's not really my genre

how often do you use tumblr each day?

more than i'm willing to admit

did you have a fight/argument with a blog once?

nothing big, i did use to get into fights when i started out because i was really petty but since then i've either become a better person or just gotten too tired, but i think the last time someone tried to start shit with me was in the led zeppelin fandom for suggesting that we should maybe stop constantly sexualising the band members which didn't go down too well shdvdjsx

how do you feel about ‘you need to reblog this post’?

best way to ensure i won't reblog it <3

do you like tag/ask games?

oh absolutely, nothing like a socially acceptable excuse to talk about myself 😌

which of your mutuals do you think is tumblr famous?

i mean that's a question of perspective but shockingly enough a solid amount of them are? no idea how they even put up with me

do you have a crush on a mutual?

if we've interacted twice i am in love with you i don't make the rules but i would actually die for some of you and you know who you are so no need to expose my blatant favouritism 😌

aand finally i'm tagging @afklints @thcrin @coralinejoines @sapphirecastles and @passingthetime if you feel like doing it? 🌷

#this has been sitting in my drafts for almost a week and i keep adding like two new answers and rephrasing another never finishing it #but here we go thank you again for the tag!!!#tag games

check in tag ✨

tagged by @sangyus and @dustofinsanity 💖💖

1. why did you choose your url?

because the way jaebeom is when he looks/smells/is given and is around flowers is one of my favourite aspects of him.

tldr: flower!beom is one of my favourite beoms.

2. any side blogs? if you have them name them and why you have them.

yeh, but don't worry about them.

3. how long have you been on tumblr?

started in around 2009, dropped off about 2011, came back in 2018.

4. do you have a queue tag?

nuh, but I queue. so up to you to figure out when I'm actually around. muahahaha.

5. why did you start your blog in the first place?

in the first first place? cause livejournal wasn't the best for visual content. and in the second first place? cause I started reading/writing fanfiction again and thought "why not, just post them on tumblr. who knows what'll happen.."

6. why did you choose your icon/pfp?

cause jae is my guy. above anyone else, above all else. is more than an ult. he is the be all and end all. he is it.

7. why did you choose your header?

cause that beauty+ shoot gives me life bro. and @sangyus is my beautiful talented wife and makes me headers. especially when i give her full client-esque briefs on what i want.

8. what’s your post with the most notes?

tension. it couldn't be anything else, who are we kidding.

9. how many mutuals do you have?

i don’t know the exact number, but they're so much cooler than me. i like em a lot.

10. how many followers do you have?

so much more than makes sense to me.

11. how many people do you follow?

1803 🤷🏻‍♀️

12. have you ever made a shitpost?

lol yeh, when i used to live-textpost during jaeb's lives and other shit.

13. how often do you use tumblr each day?

🤷🏻‍♀️

14. did you have a fight/argument with another blog once? who won?

nope. but i don't care if you come at me.

15. how do you feel about ‘you need to reblog this’ posts?

i'm sorry, but who are you to tell me what to do?

16. do you like tag games?

shit yeh! it may take me a while to get to them but I love them.

17. do you like ask games?

for sure! whether or not people send me asks, that's another story. but yeh, they're fun.

18. which of your mutuals do you think is tumblr famous?

i think it's all relative at this point.

19. do you have a crush on a mutual?

i got me a wife which is so much better than a measly crush. aint it @sangyus?

20. tags?

@jackbamiels @ljaebeom @wabisaba @bamshine @bubblebeom @soonhoonsol @secndlife @jinseunie @jjinyounf @def-ars @jjpmoans @allthelxves

when did i create this blog: i wanna say mid to late 2019, so i’ve had it for a year now

what do i post: it used to be dark academia, then pink/red lovecore, but now it’s warm pastel pictures and love-based textposts (i’m sure my listography is way more comprehensive than me lol)

other blogs: i have one other blog @iwatcheditring for 1975 stuff

dream job: a writer or an artist or even a therapist but i’m not sure if i could pull the skills needed for any of these jobs on a professional level (also the systems fucked and i have to find a way to live)

dream trip: want to go to italy, particularly to see the italian countryside, and scotland (everybody will make fun of me but i might deeply want to see france and hear french spoken by native speakers...)

favorite food: pasta!!!! especially with alfredo sauce or if it’s ravioli

THE OWLS ARE IN! IT’S TIME FOR THE SURVEY RESULTS!

So, as many of our followers are probably aware, we recently did a survey to get a feel of what people thought of our blog. We got a total of 57 results and we are grateful to each and every one of you for taking the time to let us know your thoughts. Now, we’re here to share the general consensus of what people thought and how we will accommodate these opinions.

We’ll definitely have some changes to the blog, so read on to see what those changes are!

Before we begin, we have a few things to briefly mention.

The results are pretty scattered. We didn’t want to restrict anyone, so most were free response or included “Other”. In hindsight, there were a few questions that could have easily been multiple choice without really restricting anyone. (Side eyes the first question.) Therefore, most of these will just summarize the results we got. Occasionally drop the graph for the multiple choice questions.

Because of the large amount of responses we got, not every answer will be listed here. We highlighted the things that were either most commonly mentioned or had us thinking the most.

If anyone would like to see the full results for some reason (par the names, to keep anonymity), feel free to email us at [email protected] and we’ll send it over!

And yes, we are making changes to accommodate these results! That’s what this survey was all about!

We’ll be opening applications for new mods within the next couple days as well.

We’ll have a tiny hiatus as all of this is going on.

Now, we begin...

How long have you been following incorrect-marauders?

The most popular answer seemed to be around 2 months or 10 months. A lot of people filling out this survey seemed to either be relatively new or here since the beginning. Kudos to you incorrect-marauders veterans, and welcome newer followers!

How did you find incorrect-marauders?

Somewhat as we expected. Keep reblogging us, lovely people!

What do you love MOST about incorrect-marauders?

"It's funny.” (x50)

No really, we got 50 variations of “It’s funny,” “It’s hilarious,” “The humour,” “The funny text posts.”

Thanks, we appreciate it!

“How weirdly in character the quotes always are.”

(Similar variations include, “How actually accurate your post are,” “That not every post is as funny, imho, but that they do keep true to the characters,” “How much they fit the characters.”)

“They offer new content to the Marauders 'franchise' as it were because some stuff within the fandom is constantly being reused.”

“How correct it actually is if Joanne made it canon.”

“McGonagall with the marauders and that the sources are listed.”

“Accurate representation, variety of ships and relationships, isnt toxic.”

“Very funny and can be great art/writing prompts.”

“The taste.”

“EVERYTHING.”

These are all very nice, thank you all. Glad we hit where we were aiming.

What do you love LEAST about incorrect-marauders?

The most common response was, “Nothing,” or a variation thereof, but that’s no fun for this question, so here are some of the legitimate criticisms we received!

“Quote sources, I think, occasionally aren't there.”

Our original quotes often don’t have sources. But if there’s one where a mod forgot to credit a source, please just message us and one of the admins will fix that!

“There isn't a particularly nice aesthetic to the blog, e.g. a matching layout and profile picture or quote.”

Yeah, we’re working to fix that. I like pretty blogs too.

“Could be updated a little more.”

(”Not much posting in my opinion,” “Long time between posts.”)

Strangely enough, we got this a few times but our later poll about how often to post were contradicting this. So, unfortunately, we will not be adjusting this.

“I mean I would say that Peter is on it, but can’t really get rid of him...”

(Got a few of these, like, ”Peter being seen as a good person.”)

Sorry!

“Some are a bit too small.”

“I don’t like the long quotes.”

Well, then.

“Seeing my #notp but that isnt rly a minus?? Its called diversity so im not gonna hate or anything.”

Thank you for appreciating the diversity. We get occasional hate over it, but we also get hate over not posting some of the other ships. I suppose that’s what happens when you have lots of different followers of different opinions.

“If I send you a text post you credit the source in # but i'd like you to include a link to my tumblr in the post itself so people would actually find my tumblr. I doent send you text posts anymore, cause it doesn't really profit me and it feels like you get credit for my work.”

We’re sorry you feel that way. We always put it in the tags, just in front of the source. We are more of a mod-based blog rather than a submission-based blog. Anyone is welcome to submit, but about 98% of our posts are created by our mods.

“Sometimes I feel like the wrong characters were chosen or not well thought out.”

We can assure you our mods put a lot of thought into what characters to use, but you are welcome to message us with your own suggestion! (But please note that we are a Marauders blog; we got a few comments about how we don’t post enough Hinny or Romione, but that’s not what our blog is about.)

What makes incorrect-marauders stand out?

Once again, we got a lot about how funny we are, so we’ll skip over those and highlight the more unique answers!

"They don't use things from other people without credit.”

“The love and attention put in to everything.”

“Don't think there are any other blogs about marauders in this style.”

(We got this a few times. ”Like the type of blog and incorrect-marauders was the first one Harry potter themed I found,” also, “Its really funny and pretty much the only blog that just does this kind of post and i LOVE it.” But alternatively... “There are a lot of textpost blogs like it, but it is one of the only ones that I have found that consistently keeps characters in character in the posts and appeals to my sense of humor.”)

“I feel the quotes are in character and from multiple sources which Is cool.“

“How open it is.”

“The continuous content.”

“The posts arent so often that my dash is spammed like other blogs of the same nature.”

“Not sure but I like you.”

Not much to comment on these except we’re happy to see people think this about us!

How satisfied are you with the blog and the posts, in all?

So, you’re telling me, we opened a public, anonymous survey and not a single hater filled it out? Am I impressed or disappointed?

Please explain your response to the previous question.

“I just love the whole blog.”

“It's not my favourite blog ever ever which is why it's not a 10 but i still love it.”

“You guys are just so awesome! But it'd also be cool to have a little, meet the creator(s).”

“Its good but I don't have or want notifications on.”

“It’s the #qualitycontent i signed up for.”

"Always room for improvement, and also there's no 9 3/4 option.”

Awesome! We definitely agree that we can always improve, which is what this survey is for!

How often should we post?

We got a lot of variety here. Some say once a day (which is how often we currently post) was ideal. Others put stuff like...

“I wouldnt mind my entire blog just being filled with your posts.”

While Once A Day is the most voted for, the rest of the options put together, which we’ll name Two or More Times a Day, do win overall. Since we have one new post followed by a reblog, we’ll compromise by posting two times a day, but with one new post a day (the second being a reblog).

In UTC, what times do you prefer us posting?

As expected, not many people cared. But two people felt very strongly and voted for 12am, 1am, and 6pm UTC. So, we’ll consider that.

What characters, relationships, universes, etc. would you like to see more represented in our posts?

We got a lot of responses here, primarily being more Wolfstar, Jily, and BFFs James and Sirius. We also got a lot saying we should post about Hinny, Romione, next gen, FBAWTFT, etc. in which I remind you that this is a Marauders blog.

We also got the hilarious response that said we should maybe post about the “merauders”. Well, we can certainly promise you that.

We also got a lot of people saying more McGonagall. That’s something we can definitely do.

Would you like to see more original quotes from us?

For the longest time, the option 50/50 was at exactly 50%. Kind of disappointed that is no longer, but the 25% option is at 25%, so that’s something. Anyway, we’ll aim for 50/50.

What else would you like to see us post?

This was one of the results that will make the biggest change to the blog. People seem to really love these ideas. So expect...

Marauder Mondays! Every Monday we’ll have Marauder Monday, where we’ll answer asks, reblog posts, and have a party! Probably when we’ll post the “extra” posts, like our GIFs, graphics, aesthetics, videos, etc.

How would you feel if we did sponsored posts?

Combined, it seems like ~75% of those who took the survey are good with sponsored posts.

These results honestly surprised us. We’ve gotten a lot of offers of sponsorships in the past but have always denied them because we didn’t know how our followers would feel. We probably won’t do this in the near future, but it’s an option.

What kind of projects would you like to see us host?

We got so many people suggesting merch. Shirts, stickers, pins, other merch... So we’ll keep that in mind! We’d love some Marauders shirts ourselves.

“Projects that other blogs can get involved with to help other accounts grow.”

Noted!

“An art challenge maybe? like, 30 day challenge where you have to draw them as characters from movies/tv shows? like, friends, clueless, avengers, dc characters etc.“

Definitely interesting. Art challenges would be a lot of fun. Hopefully there’s an interest for this!

Which of our other accounts do you follow/would like to follow?

We’ll look into bringing on people to regularly post on other sites.

What device do you use to browse our blog most often (whether through Tumblr or our site)?

Why are we bothering with a redesign again? Oh, right. Personal vain.

How often do you visit the blogsite?

Those numbers are higher than expected...

What kind of things would you like to find on our blogsite?

“Character aesthetics.”

“Fanfiction links.”

“Marauders fan art would be cool.“

We’ll be working on this! Thank you for the suggestions!

More meet the creator(s) (if not comfortable with should, maybe just telling a funny story)

We got a lot of people saying they’d like to know more about us. We are anonymous, but this particular comment had us thinking. We’ll be implementing something in the near future. We will still remain anonymous, but we will have “blog identifies”, I suppose you could say. More info to come!

Other than show, character, and ship lists, what would you like to see in our navigation?

We didn’t get many new suggestions for this, except for fanart, aesthetics, etc. which we will add as more people join the blog!

Do you have any additional suggestions for us?

"Maybe find a blog that could do fan art, but only if you’re comfortable with it. Also, you’re blog is already so amazing, and any redesign would just make it more awesome!!! Don’t let anyone get you down espically if some one puts something negative on the survey because it is so so great already.”

We got no negative feedback (just constructive criticism), but thank you for your concern!

“um. keep doing this. i like it. it helps fill the gaping void in my soul“

Mood.

“Thanks for making the survey, caring about our feedback, and being awesome overall :)”

Of course! This is not just our blog, this is the Marauders fandom blog. Your feedback means everything to us and we hope you will like the changes we’ll make in response to it.

And that covers all of it! Cookies to anyone who read all of that! Keep an eye out for those new mod applications if you’re interested in joining our team!

We’ll be taking a tiny little hiatus as we’re figuring some stuff out.

for the blog ask game - 1, 4, 10, 12, 13, and 15: do you plan on somehow celebrating the year of bein on tumblr? (also just the upcoming new years :D)

1. Why do you use tumblr?

i had considered making a blog much before last year but never got around to it. one of the reasons i go on tumblr is it’s a social media i can use where i’m a lot less likely to be bombarded with transphobic hate like i was on ig. i don’t use much social media, and other than ig i had mostly used snapchat, but by the time i made this blog there was now trauma associated with it and i’d have an anxiety attack every time i got a notification. i hadn’t heard of discord yet, and tiktok, frankly, scared me. i downloaded the app for a day once and very personally invasive, like my friends talk about it recording their voices when it’s not on or u being on it for 5 minutes and it knows every singe thing about u. also, tiktok crowd is very slightly too young for me. with tumblr, u could make ur own textposts and u could also reblog others’ posts! and it helps their post instead of a repost with credit being the only thing u could do other places. and also, most of the posts i liked on ig were taken from tumblr anyways, so not like i was losing peak comedy from there by coming here

4. What’s your favorite post you’ve made and why?

hmm, i’m gonna answer this in a way that doesn’t conflict with any other questions in the ask game about posts, cuz i have a lot of favorites. i really like mr. frogman a lot. great post by me

10. What’s one lesson you’ve learned while on tumblr?

i think one of the more important ones is watching out for radfem rhetoric, particularly from things that aren’t strictly/obviously terf shit. i see posts sometimes where yeah, looks like they’re uplifting women, but a lot of times it tries to put men down in the process. and im talking about in a “men are inherently evil/bad” type way. also i have tags like terf safe and radfem safe and radfem blocked, so if the original poster put those tags but they weren’t reblogged with the same tags (especially to spread further on tumblr) i can tell

12. How many mutuals do you have?

slightly complicated because here i’m gonna count side-by-side mutuals. these are mutuals where either we follow each other’s side blogs or one of us follows the main and the other follows a side blog. anyways, counting it all up and making sure of no double counts, i’ve currently got 50 mutuals! wow, did not expect that!

13. How did you decide who to follow/what was the first blog you followed?

i think the very first blog i followed on tumblr was gaud, but i don’t necessarily count the popular blogs as first cuz i knew about them before coming to tumblr. the actual first blog i followed was the first one that followed me @/winter-day-in-the-south . They have this cool OC named Wynter to go along with Snow Miser. then i started checking out and following people who liked my posts, first being @/potatolemon (love ya bestie) anyways, pretty early in my time here on tumblr i made a post that has over 1,000 notes, and at some point i could not keep up with it and that was the end of that method. but it also gave me a lot of people to follow, and since it was a post about being ace, i got more cemented into the tumblr ace community

15. [Other questions]

I don’t necessarily plan on celebrating my one year on tumblr outside of tumblr, but i have a post in queue later today for a little celebration (it’s not very exciting or anything tho so don’t put a lot into it lol). for the new year, idk. we’ll probably be at my family’s house, drinking sparkling grape juice, counting down to the new year (as long as i am not in the hospital again. got out just barely before the new year a couple years ago)

legitimate advice for new phandom blogs

hey !! so i know sometimes posts like ‘RULES FOR THE PHANDOM XD’ are made and they’re all like “numba one. dan is a squishy bean respect this uwu” but this isn’t gonna be like that lol. im just going to list a few actual things that might help people new to the phandom learn about and become integrated into the community! of course these aren’t ‘rules’ and u dont have to listen to any of it ofc,,, im not here to control ur blog, just here to say what people normally do. feel free to rb whether u are a new blog or not, ill appreciate it either way!

(NOTE: PLS TELL ME IF ANY OF THE LINKS DONT WORK AND ILL FIX THEM PERIODICALLY!)

italicized text is defined in the glossary at the bottom!

1. be interactive!

here, unique to our corner of timmy darn communism, we have a lot of like virtual traditions that everyone knows. these help you to make friends and also grow ur blog with some new mutuals. here are some examples.

networks: networks, or nets, are a sort of selective gc, usually with a theme or concept that it’s based around, in which all who wish to be part of fill out an application form that determines whether they get in. this is kinda the one with the most work, as u also have to make a group blog and info post, but it’s definitely worth it. i have made my closest friends in nets (such as @phleurnet which i birthed), and a lot of people on here would say the same. if you want to know more or apply, my friend diana runs an update blog @phandomnets! (examples, these are all open btw: x x x)

meetups: meetups are not in real life, don’t worry. a meetup is when someone organizes a specific time at which we all post thing around a certain theme! for instance, on halloween on tuesday, my friend milo hosted a halloween meetup. usually people post selfies but if u are uncomfortable with that, u can post art, music, or anything else related to the theme. a blog called @phandommeetupwatch keeps track of these! (examples, all happening soon/just happened: x x x)

follow forevers: a follow forever is a big celebration post when u reach a follower count milestone, no matter 50 or 5k. u tag all of the blogs you love, and they reblog it to appreciate u! it’s really positive and shows people how their work has paid off. usually people are tagged in alphabetical order, and sometimes people bold their favorites but the stylization is up to u. (recent examples: x x x)

milestone activities: sometimes people do things for their followers when they reach a follower count that involves their followers requesting something! there are many many forms of this type of thing. a common one is blog rates, in which there is a set template and the blogger rates each blog that sends in an ask using the template (info post ex: x; rate ex: x). there are also url edits (x), name/url moodboards (x), and more. u can certainly come up w an idea of ur own, being creative is great!

talk to people: that’s right dude!!! ye!!! u can message a blog u think is cool, or send an ask if u think something they made or are talking about is interesting, or add something sweet in the tags (more on etiquette later) when u rb their post. additionally, sometimes people stir up discourse, and u should participate in it if u want (past discourse examples: x x). u can also send asks when people reblog ask games, which are a list of questions with a theme (new one of mine ex: x).

2. play around with your blog!

customizing your blog can start giving you what we call a branding, making you distinguished from other bloggers. this can include everything from as simple as using an icon to coding your own about page.

themes: a blog can be way more appealing if it is aesthetically pleasing. admittedly, i often follow people just because of the smoothness of their mobile theme. a mobile theme is rather easy to construct as u can do it on ur own with a phone. it is how ur blog looks on a phone. although u don’t have to do this, i recommend sticking to two to four colors on ur theme and avoiding stuffing it with a lot of bright things because it can distract from content. additionally, bloggers often make their descriptions short and succinct. (my fav mobiles: x x x.) on a pc, your blog theme can be customized completely on html, meaning there is a lot of freedom. u don’t have to learn to code for this, bc u can find free themes anywhere, just search ‘free tumblr themes’ on google. once again, be creative, but u shouldn’t overload. (my fav pcs: x x x.)

about pages: in order to avoid chunky descriptions but still let people know the key deets about themselves, bloggers create about pages. sometimes these bout pages are uncoded but u can also use html code if u want to. some common things in an about page are interests, maybe personality types/horoscopes/hogwarts houses, original content, and links to other social media. (examples: x x x)

urls: urls are a key part of your blog’s brand. ‘rebranding’ is what people say if they change their url! if u are tired or bored with your url, changing it is an opportunity to change your theme and other parts of ur blog as well. (url change ex: x).

saved urls: saved urls are basically when bloggers hoard sideblogs in order to reserve the urls used for them. if you ever encounter a blank blog that has ‘saved’ as its title, that’s probably it. sometimes people like to give away their urls, either as a constant thing (ex: x) or by doing a url giveaway (x). either way, it’s a good opportunity to change it up!

tags: in order to keep their blog cleancut and organized, a lot of bloggers have special tags for certain people, certain topics, and/or certain types of media. many people in the phandom particularly have tags for dan and phil that match (strawberries and cream, lune and sole, etc). if they have many of these tags, there can be a page for their tags on their blog. this page can be coded with special html or just a regular tumblr page, it doesn’t really matter. but it’s very useful for those who visit your blog, and makes it easy for u to navigate older posts as well! (examples: x x x)

3. learn to make og content!

producing original content helps you establish what your strengths are and why people should follow you. it also allows u to contribute to the fanbase, and gives u a chance of being noticed by dnp! and the validation is lovely. there are many options if u want to make something.

gifs: gifs are an ART here in the phandom, and its mechanisms still perplex me to this day bc ive never tried it. u probably already know what a gif is, but if not, its essentially a short animation made in photoshop that repeats. gifmakers are often distinguished by a unique coloring (example gifmakers: x x x), such as my friend emily’s smooth dark blue tint (x). it can be a long process to learn how to gif but it is very rewarding in the end, from what i’ve heard. (tutorials: x x)

art: there is a very wide range of phanartists, all with such talents, either digital or traditional, that you can draw inspirations from for your own work. you can make cartoons, comics, realism, abstract, nsfw even, or any mix (or none) of the former. artists on tumblr definitely deserve more attention than they get here on tumblr, so be sure to show appreciation towards them! (my fav artists: x x x)

edits: edits are the Graphic Designs of our community and are usually very aesthetically pleasing. they can be centered around a certain event, like a video or something dnp made, or just for fun. the more practice you get making them, the more dexterous u’ll become. they can be a great tool if u like the design aspect of art but don’t want to actually draw. (edit makers: x x)

icons: icons are just the little profile picture that u can insert for ur blog. it’s really easy and fun to make them, kind of like a lazy version of edits. you can make them using photoshop or an app like picsart or medibang, and it doesn’t take a lot of time. more on how to use icons in section 4. (examples: x x x) (my lil tutorial: x)

moodboards: moodboards are nine pictures arranged 3 by 3 that have a certain color scheme. it’s kind of like a collage except the photo feature here separates the pictures for u. there are a lot of innovative moodboard makers that stun me w how pretty it looks or how they arrange the pics. moodboards are also an easy and fun option! (moodboard tags: x x x)

textposts: this is by far the easiest and more common form of content u will find. it’s just writing about dnp in a textpost! if a textpost isn’t very serious, people also call it a meme or shitpost. shitposting is defs on the rise here so its a good business to get into. it’s also a great outlet for ur emotions or personal connections to what dnp do! (example talk tags: x x x)

fics: by far the most famous media to come out of here, phanfiction is a popular form of phan indulgence. u have probably heard of the most scarring ones (list: x), but there is actually a really vast range of it, not just creepy smut! some other genres are fluff, angst, and slow burns. u will discover that, despite the sterotype, not all fanfiction is bad. you can find lovely fics on @phanfictioncatalogue by genre, au, or topic. and, if u need help writing something, many writers would love to help. (a few well-known fics: x x x x x)

4. tumblr etiquette!

i know tumblr might seem like a simple social media (or perhaps not after u’ve read all the above?) but there’s a lot of things that u just....u just don’t do. it’s sort of like virtual manners, and if u don’t follow them, then it’s unlikely that people will like ur blog. once again, this is by no means me forcing u to run ur blog a certain way. it just happens that the types of ppl who break these rules are who we mock in gcs :////////. so yea, here’s some advice.

credits: if u decide to use someone’s art, edit, gif, or icon on the theme of ur blog, check what they require of u before u use it. most content creators strongly ask for credit in the description of ur blog, either by link or like ‘icon/header/art by ____’. it is just a common courtesy to the person who spent time on that, and if u think credit will ruin the aesthetic of ur blog, a) u probably don’t have an aesthetic in the first place and b) learn to appreciate art, binch.

anonymity: anon asks can be very powerful either negatively or positively depending on how u yield them, so make sure that u are careful with what u send. compliments are always welcome and criticism as well, but blatant rudeness or hate will do nothing. u will only make someone feel bad about themselves and it will not accomplish anything. also, u face the threat of all their friends turning u into a meme.

sensitivity: a lot of people here are way too easily offended by harmless jokes, a common example in the phandom being when we insult dnp affectionately and people take it way too much to heart. please don’t start drama over something w no real meaning. however, there are times when it is indeed necessary. if u want to criticise a blogger, be respectful of them simultaneously. by all means, if u spot someone being racist, homophobic, transphobic, misogynist, or the like, feel free to call them out on it. but beforehand, make sure that u have done ur research and are educated on the topic, or u could turn out to be blatantly wrong.

adding to posts: everyone makes this mistake when they start out here and that’s totally okay, but adding to every post u reblog is incredibly bothersome. a rule of thumb would be don’t add anything unless what u say will actually improve the post significantly. if ur additions are along the lines of ‘LOL’ or ‘i relate!!!!’ or ‘philly is a smol bean XD’, learn to use the tags for heaven’s sake. they’re there for not only organization but also for commenting. some exceptions, though, would be if u are mentioned in the post or the op is your close friend.

respecting privacy: this should already be obvious to u, but respect dan and phil’s boundaries. do not tag them or their main tags (#daniel howell, #danisnotonfire, #amazingphil), in any phanfics, phanart (like specifically with them as a romantic ship), or phan edits. do not talk to their family members, expose their personal info like address or phone number, and do consider that they are real people just like u. we may make things based around phan, but it is kept in a community for us and not for dan and phil’s eyes. this is very important.

5. have fun!

sorry if this is all overwhelming, but i tried to make it as simplified as possible. and also sorry for the sass, i’m kinda tired of all the ding dongs on here and want to prevent further ding dongs from being created. thanks so much for readin and be sure to send me an ask anytime if u have questions! welcome to hell!
