How to start conversations & make friends on tumblr

I have no idea why, but I feel compelled to make this post. Probably because I need to remind myself once in a while, and I always see posts about ‘oh, I wish people would talk to me!’. And surely I’m not the only one who has had the should I/should I not debate with myself?

When I first got on tumblr I was really nervous about messaging people and literally didn’t know what to do with myself, but I really wanted to talk to them anyway. Because you know, you guys are really awesome. So if like me you sometimes feel like a llama in a flock of sheep,  here’s how to just go for it.

Remember 99% of tumblr loves getting messages. Unless they’re a super popular blog and have 46 new messages every time they check, most people are damn well pleased to receive a message. And if you look, plenty of people have “come and talk to me!” written in some form or another on their blog pages or about me sections, so if you want to talk to someone, do so because high chances are they’ll be beyond delighted.

Give them something to work with. Starting conversations can be awkward, so when you do send a message, make sure there’s plenty they can reply with. If they made a post about loving AUs of a certain ship and you read a great fic you think they’d love - rec it to them. Tell them why you liked it so much. Ask them for their favourite story. If they reblogged a post on society and put something in the tags that you agreed with, tell them so and bring up another relevant issue. If they’re an artist and you love their work, send them an ask saying you admire their stuff but also drop a question about how they got into art or how they perfected a certain technique. If they draw, make videos or write things, anything like that, this is a perfect starting place. People put hours, days, even months (!) of effort into these things, so if you tell them you loved their stuff, expect to be cried/screamed in happiness at. Appreciation will put an ear to ear smile on their face and maybe even make their week, even if they seem to get compliments all the time. If they made a personal post about struggling with something you have trouble with too, relate to them. They’ll probably love you forever. Just pick a starting point that can create a conversation (if that’s what you want, of course) and press send.

If you had an awesome talk that ended, but you want to speak to them again, then just message them again. Imagine they feel the same as you do, and how happy you’d be if they struck up a conversation. Send them a hello and ask them how their day was, or if they’ve seen that video of bloopers that’s been circulating.

Oh, and don’t be disappointed if it goes badly or the conversation fizzles out. It happens.

Okay, well, that’s all I got right now. Apologies to my followers if this is a really stupid post, I am the human version of a turtle on its back so please forgive me for my awkwardness ;)

I love drawing monsters ft. Feetman

I don't know why I made this, but I'm too sick to care. Something something the player controls the game.

Guess who loves hlvrai and has hands to draw?

Hey, so. Genuine question. Is it Tumblr etiquette to just... message somebody? Like private messaging? Is that allowed? Who can you do it for? Is it people you've already interacted with? People you think are cool?? How I talk to them? Do I just say "Hey, I like your blog"???

Since my last art post got attention, here's some drawings I've done of Pride and Greed. I'm currently working on Wrath, but I've just started a new job, so it'll be a while before I finish.

I regret having hands to draw, your lordship.

wormaids. they're like mermaids but they're 1/3 human, 1/3 fish and 1/3 earthworm

the worm is the middle third

Look at this fluffy lady!! She is a Sierra Nevada Red Fox! She is very endangered!

I haven't seen anyone say this before, so:

Frumentarii means grain farmers in Latin (according to google translate). Vulpes Inculta is the leader of the Legion's farms.

dead cells au where when you show up to the hand of the king fight in the king outfit he recognizes you as the king and instead of “you stole his body! thief!” you now have a giant puppy bodyguard who loves you soso much and literally Will Not Leave You Alone. every time you go somewhere he cant follow you get a constant notification of “The Hand’s Misery Is Increasing!” until you literally cant hear anything else.

why do so many people like this

why is this my top post please i made these in an hour

I wanted to practice painting, so I struggled to make @worthlesssix's Courier Six. I know it's bad, but I tried.

Then, I gave up on painting and made my Courier and the crew. (I just realized I forgot Rex, but I'm too sick to go back and fix it..)

This is my pathetic baby.

what if we ain't men?

idiots will really suck water into their mouth and swallow it.

Every 21st century piece of writing advice: Make us CARE about the character from page 1! Make us empathize with them! Make them interesting and different but still relatable and likable!

Every piece of classic literature: Hi. It's me. The bland everyman whose only purpose is to tell you this story. I have no actual personality. Here's the story of the time I encountered the worst people I ever met in my life. But first, ten pages of description about the place in which I met them.

I feel like if I am to be tumblr-known-at-all, I must leave the house. Unfortunately, it is warm, and thus the outside is not here.

I'm rather proud of this one :)

I really needed this, thank you fish

god damn, I really hope whoever reads this has a good day

I don't know you

but I can tell you really do deserve a good day

whatever it takes to make today a good day, if possible, please do it

I feel confident enough to post these now. A collection of all the existing posters after some edits from the other post that got 13k notes! These are full size/quality. Go nuts.

You may use them for wallpapers, tabletop campaigns, whatever. Consider tipping me (do people use kofi for that or tumblr's built in system? Let me know what you prefer) or buying a print or sticker here! (STORE DOWN 7/28) If you do use them, let me know what for, or send pictures!

Hey I'm trans what do I do now?

You must journey through the western gates into the great unknown, past the black ridge, through the mires betwixt towering mountains, past the empty fields of gold that stretch on for miles, unto horizons anew.

So this was the unanswered messages in my ask box a couple of days ago:

and this is the unanswered messages in my ask box today,

and I'm incredibly grateful to everyone who has said such nice things about the season, and I'm sorry to everyone who had emotions they weren't expecting, and I'm impressed that so many of you have theories and don't plan to answer, validate or really even comment on any of them, but mostly I'm just sorry because I probably won't read whatever you've sent, not because I don't want to but because if I was doing nothing but reading Tumblr asks as a full time job I still wouldn't catch up with the thousands of asks coming in.

I'm glad you care.

New take: The cat in the hat is an ancient god.

That, or he's just a screwed up cat.

my brother started calling our cat "doobie brother" which he then lengthened to "dubious brother" and has since morphed into "brother dubious" like he's some sort of fucked up little monk
