Dive into your creative stream
The average tumblr experience is yelling into a void and then sometimes the void yells back. If you get lucky you might get an echo friend.
Also, tumblr fame is like being the main subject of a towns gossip mill. 2/3 of the people don't even know who you are, and it's not like they even care, it's not the point anyways.
Like, somebody waltzes into the town market in a Mothman costume. Nobody will actually give a shit if it was Margaret's grandson, or Mariann's third niece twice removed, because somebody waltzed into the town market in a Mothman costume!!!
It's not who you are but what you did.
Im sorry but it is so funny how people outside of tumblr view us. Like why are the tiktokers treating tumblr like some professional ass website you need to do extensive prep before you begin posting on. And the follower farming advice is so fucking funny to me when this is the website where people actively hate getting new followers
