If you lose interest in someone, tell them.
If you’re not looking for a relationship, tell the person you’re seeing.
If you’re thinking of ghosting someone, tell them.
If you can’t handle meeting up with someone after all, tell them.
If you’re terrible at responding to messages, tell people.
If you prefer talking in person to texting, tell people.
If you’re seeing several people at the same time, tell them.
If you’re looking for sex rather than dating, tell the person you’re seeing.
It is not difficult to be a decent and honest, open, communicative human being. Respect those whom you interact with and have relationships with by telling the truth instead of leading them on or being deceitful.

RE: The Post™️ and CONCERNS
#1 —> The post as a whole is woefully inaccurate and boils down to a game of telephone where things are easily misinterpreted. For example, the question regarding Thomas Sanders was not “would you ever interact with him?” It was “will your EGOs ever interact with Thomas Sanders’ egos” to which I responded, “no.” Thomas Sanders is a sweetheart as far as I know.
#2 —> We spoke on and off throughout the entire day. The full breadth of our conversation (and the context necessary to understand it) was not, and could not, be fully translated into a simple text post. I’m not attacking their credibility, nor am I attacking them, nor am I truly angry with them for making the post. However, I want to clarify that important information can get lost if someone were to walk away from a conversation with me.
#3 —> I’m not planning to quit YouTube anytime in the near future. I mentioned that I have plans beyond YouTube because I don’t expect to be doing the same thing I’m doing now until I’m old, and considering that I’m going to be entering my 30’s next year my mind is obviously thinking about how that decade of my life will shape up. I’ve told YOU guys this, but again, things can get easily misinterpreted.
#4 —> I don’t want anyone to think negatively about the person in question because of this. I don’t want ANYONE to be upset with them or attack them in any way. I’m still very happy the they were able to join the shoot, I’m happy that the Make-A-Wish Foundation was able to coordinate this, and I am glad to have spent time with them. It’s unfortunate that things that were discussed in confidence somehow got mangled and delivered to you guys with no verification.
#5 —> I messaged the person who posted it to take the post down but I also felt the need to cut the problem off with this explanation before it got any worse. Thank you for not panicking!
-Mark
P.S. —> I am not “abandoning” the egos after this next video. I have no idea where this line came from but it’s flat out wrong.
tips for interacting with a multimuse blog
- NEVER BE AFRAID TO TELL US WHO YOU’D LIKE TO INTERACT WITH.
- We won’t be offended if you followed for one particular muse, we’ll just be happy you liked that one!
- Understand that maybe we don’t have muse for all the muses all the time. It may take us a little bit to get back to that one particular thread
- If you want to interact with EVERY SINGLE MUSE WE HAVE we also will not be upset about that
other multis feel free to add more to this
5. Understand that some multis have a lot of active muses. This means we have a lot of drafts. Please be patient with us.
6. Please understand that we can not know what muse you want to interact with without you telling us. We are not mind readers. Please specify muse when sending in a meme or liking a starter call!
7. Realize that, because we have a lot of muses, there can be a lot of people we’re talking to at once and sometimes that’s draining. Be patient while plotting! Being clear about what you want will always make things easier! We’ll never be mad at you for being specific, in fact, we’ll appreciate it immensely!
8. Realize that just because we have a lot of muses doesn’t mean we don’t put the same amount of effort into them as a single muse blog !! A lot of multi muses get pushed to the side because people just prefer to interact with a single muse and it’s really discouraging. We have multi muses out of convenience so we can actually get to write all these characters! I’m sure if most of us could have single muses for all of our characters and have the time to be active on them all we would!
9. Know that you will not offend us by saying you don’t want to interact with certain muses that we have on our blogs. Saying that you will interact with all of our muses, and then being upset or annoyed about being handed a muse you really don’t care for, isn’t going to make things enjoyable for either of us. Chances are, the thread will go nowhere and things will get silent or awkward, like things tend to do when we lose muse for certain threads. We would prefer that you are honest with us about these things.
10. Understand that rules we have for a specific muse, may not apply to all of them. Certain muses may come from a different background, or be the wrong age, to partake in some aspects of rp. Gentler, younger muses may not be involved in darker or sexual themes. They are not ‘all the same muse’ and shouldn’t be treated as such. (And we enjoy hearing that you can tell our muses apart just by the way their replies are written. Knowing our muses each have their own ‘voice’ is something we strive for, so don’t be afraid to let us know we’re keeping everyone separate!)
11. Just because you don’t see a lot of in character posts for a muse, doesn’t mean you can’t ask for them! Some may come from less popular (or less active) fandoms / rpcs, and they don’t have as many people asking to write with them. If they’re on the list of muses, that means we have muse for them, and we want to write things for them! (Of course, keep in mind that muses are fickle, and they may not respond to things quickly, but the same thing goes for single-muse blogs as well.) Beyond that – some of those muses you don’t see things written for might just rank within our favorites to write. You’d be doing us a favor by asking to interact with them or asking questions about them in general, so we know they are being appreciated as well ❤
Seven years after, I see you again 😚
Guys this completely changed my writing, heed it. I often do an entire draft just looking at sentence variation and oftentimes the results are absolutely transformative in the difference.
Can I just…
In lieu of the new tumblr settings, can I make yet another plea with those of you who read fics and consume art on tumblr to please reblog them?
Fics and art will die on a creator’s dash if they aren’t reblogged. It’s never been more true than now.
If you want to keep receiving content from creators, reblog the the content. If it’s something you enjoyed? Reblog it. It’s not hard. I am going to make a point to reblog everything I read from now on. (With the proper tags of course), as well as all the art that I see on my dash.
I cannot make it simpler. Posts WILL die unless they’re reblogged. No one will see your ‘like’. Your like is a bookmark for YOU to find it later. Your reblog means the world to a creator because it means you are willing to go the little extra distance and recommend this to your followers.
Don’t let creations die on the dash of those who created them.
Reblog to save a creation.
Reblog to keep a creator creating.
Reblog, please.
Why Isn’t Tumblr Freaking Out?!?!
randomstuff-idontwannatalkboutit:
Guys. Article 13 just got passed.
Article 13 just got passed.
Article 13 just got passed!!!!
Article 13 just got passed.
Article 13 just got passed.
Article 13 just got passed!
- Article 13 just got passed.
- Article 13 just got passed.
I don’t know if I’ve said it enough. So…
ARTICLE 13 JUST GOT PASSED!!!!
I have been on tumblr all morning and haven’t seen one post about it yet! I don’t understand how!
ARTICLE 13 JUST GOT PASSED!!!!
It was a 438 to 226 fucking landslide vote too. (https://www.theverge.com/2018/9/12/17849868/eu-internet-copyright-reform-article-11-13-approved)
They’re voting on it one last time in January 2019, but that’s barely any time to change anything!!!!
You still have time to call your MEPs so PLEASE!!! Do so.
If you’re outside of the EU, sign this petition: https://www.change.org/p/axel-voss-save-the-internet-reject-article-13-and-11?recruiter=839558037&utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=copylink&utm_campaign=share_petition
If you don’t know what this means, it’s basically then end of how the internet currently is in Europe. Memes? Nope. Youtubers? Bye!
You’d need a license for everything!!!!
And my fellow Americans my be all like, well, what’s the big deal for us? It’s a Europe deal.
No, because the Youtubers there that you love so much? This effects them too! I’m freaking out because Jack, the person who helps my depression go away, may no longer be able to do what he does!
Guys, we need to stop this somehow. Please.
Call your MEPs. Sign petitions. Protest (Peacefully please. Don’t get hurt).
I’m sorry for tagging you guys if you don’t want to be or already know, I just want as many people to know as possible!
I can’t tag everyone, but if you see this, please reblog it. Spread the news. Sign the petition. Call your MEPs. Do what you can to help stop this from passing in January.
I don’t live in Europe but this needs to be spread
I’m spreading this because this is greatly unsettling to me. I live in europe and really can’t imagine how the future would look like.
I don’t live in Europe but I signed the petition and am signal boosting for all my EU pals. Call your MEPs!
I live in Europe and this is disturbing!
Article 13 Passed
Yes, they won this round. Yes, it’s unfortunate. Yes, it’s upsetting, and yes, it’s scary. But we need to take a breath. We need to have a day of respite. This isn’t the end.
It’s not over. The final vote (yes, because they need to vote on this crap three times apparently) is in 2019. Until then, we need to use the anger we might feel, and we need to keep up the pressure and keep fighting.
The changes aren’t going to happen overnight, and even after the votes, every country needs to implement their own version of the law. We have time and we still have a chance.
Keep shouting, keep making our voices heard, and don’t give up.
It passed. Both articles 11 and 13 have been approved. It passed 438 votes to 226.
They cheered. THEY FUCKING APPLAUDED!!! THEY KNOW FULL WELL WHAT THEY’VE DONE! FUCKING SCUMBAGS!
I’ll wait to see the full report published, I’m very eager to have the names of the 438 MEP’s who BETRAYED the people and look to destroy out freedoms.
This isn’t over. We need to keep kicking up a stink and vocalize our disappointment. All we can do is keep resisting.
I suppose one way to do this would be to get these traitor MEP’s out of office ASAP as they clearly DO NOT represent the people, and also look to those in the music industry who lobbied for this, boycott and blacklist them when we can.
Regardless, we cant give up.
Guys, I did some research.
We lost a battle today, but we didn’t lose the war.
Just because article 13 has been approved, there’s still one final hurtle if its to become an actual thing: negotiating voting in 2019. We still have time to convince people to not go through with destroying the internet.
Talk to your MEPs that tried so hard to vote no, thank them for trying their best.
But for those who voted yes, make their lives a living hell. Remind them that what they’ve voted for by listening to someone that thinks “filtering” the internet will make things better. It fucking won’t. I hope you enjoy the monsters that you have unleashed.
The internet could change next week, and not in a good way
You may have heard about the efforts in Europe to reform copyright law. The debate has been ongoing in the European Parliament for months. If approved next week, these new regulations would require us to automatically filter and block content that you upload without meaningful consideration of your right to free expression.
We respect the copyrights and trademarks of others, and we take all reports seriously to ensure that your creative expression is protected. We make this clear in our Community Guidelines. There’s already a legal framework that works and is fair: Today we take down posts and media that contain allegedly infringing content when we receive a valid DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) takedown request. We also provide clear-cut ways for people to fight back if they believe their removed content was not a true violation. These instances are monitored and reported and live in our biannual transparency report.
The suggestion to use automated filters for issues of copyright is short-sighted at best and harmful at worst. Automated filters are unable to determine whether a use should be considered “fair use” under the law and are unable to determine whether a use is authorized by a license agreement. They are unable to distinguish legitimate parody, satire, or even your own personal pictures that could be matched with similar photographs that have been protected by someone else. We don’t believe that technology should replace human judgment.
Tumblr is and always has been a place for creative expression, and these new regulations would only make it harder for you to express yourself with the freedom and clarity you do so now.
If you access Tumblr from Europe and want to act, you can find more information on saveyourinternet.eu.
