See, knowledge isn’t old or gnarled or knotted.It’s young, always growing. That’s the thing about knowledge. No matter how much you think you have, there’s always room to grow.

Why doesn’t tumblr have inline polls? Anyway my question to anyone who cares is about what I should do with this blog. For full details on what’s behind this question, check under the cut 🙂
a) Create a new sideblog dedicated to writing
b) you guys don’t mind if I blog about writing a lot more on here
The pro of a new sideblog is it can be a proper writeblr and I might find new writing friends. The con is another blog to manage and I’m a bit pants at keeping multiple things going.
The pro of keeping it here is that then everything is just in one place. The con is not being able to network as a writeblr and also it might annoy you guys. Although I do promise that I would tag for blocking purposes.
What do you guys think?
I’ve been thinking – dangerous I know 🙂
When I first joined tumblr back in May 2016 I didn’t reblog gifsets very much as I don’t think I understood how tumblr worked that well. I thought if I saw it on my dash a lot that reblogging was pointless/potentially annoying, as it would just repeat again. I also apologised when I started reblogging more than 3 things a day as I was concerned about spamming /facepalm
These days I like reblogging gifsets because a) shiny, b) it showcases stuff I love and I like showing what I love. I’ve made posts bemoaning lack of gifsets for certain things because dammit I want that content on my dash hehe.
BUT (and here’s where the thinking comes in)
Reblogging all those gifsets ties me in pretty firmly with fandom. Now I consider myself embedded in the rumbelle fandom and I never want to leave. I don’t really know where the fandom is for anything else very much (I equate knowing fandom with knowing people in the fandom) but I do as I said reblog a lot of shiny gifsets.
There is one person I follow, and I’ve completely forgotten how come I came to follow them oops, but they are a writeblr. Now I had to look this up as I didn’t really understand that tumblr can be different things (apparently fitblr’s exist too! learn something new everyday heh) but they are writing dedicated blogs.
Now I’ve been in a writing slump/pit of despair for getting on for two years. My lack of updates and poor neglected WIP’s testify to that. Given my shame I’ve mostly been quiet on the writing front. Sort of a “if I don’t talk about it, I won’t draw attention to it” kinda deal. Sometimes I’ll say stuff but not often (the amount of written and deleted posts is staggering).
So my thought is maybe, just maybe, I’ll get my enthusiasm back if I pretend to be enthusiastic. Sort of a ‘fake it until you make it’ kinda deal. If I re-immerse myself in the writing world again, I’ll start to pick it up, rather than just ignoring it and letting time slip through my fingers like water.
Yeah so that’s what is going through my mind.
Whenever I have an overabundance of love for something since falling into tumblr two things happen:
1) I find and reblog all the gifsets I can because I want to be surrounded be the thing
2) I want to create all the things because I want to immerse myself in the thing
So invariably #1 happens, along with a lot of rambling, but lately #2 hasn’t as while I mentally want to do all the things, when it comes to actually doing them…
just add it to the list
I just decided to change my icon because it had been awhile and I’m totally in love with The Librarians and just have to shout that to the world heh BUT
posted something and didn’t realize it was me.
Why do I change icons when I hate it when icons change? I rely on them so much for identifying people. I’m a huge hypocrite.
*rolls eyes at self*
WTF Tumblr. I often like posts and add them to my drafts, then tag them on the PC and add them to the queue. Today I’m getting the message:
“This post was created in the tumblr app and can’t be edited on the web at this time. Please use the official tumblr app.”
Erm how about no?
Please don’t let this be a thing!
Tumblr stop showing me posts have been reblogged twice, and then when I delete the extra, miraculously then deciding it was only the once /headdesk
Whomever made the enhanced queue shuffle addon thing for X-kit deserves the world, or something really damn nice.
I can now hit one button – ONE – rather than manually ordering it to avoid spamming the same thing as I don’t want you guys to hate me.
Addons developers are geniuses.
Tumblr is like cables.
Cables get all tangled up and have a party the moment you leave them alone.
Tumblr adds tons of unnecessary <span> tags and other such styling to complete screw with your pages (aka I’ve been going over my masterlist and yikes).
I mean seriously, how? why? It’s weird. I didn’t do that. I didn’t ask it to do that /headdesk
Watching G.I Joe: Rise of Cobra and I’m very sad I can’t find any gifsets/pics on tumblr of Scarlett (Rachel Nichols character).
That is quality content.
Well extremely attractive content anyway *cough*
I apologise for my incredibly unbalanced queue. Just because I love Killjoys doesn’t mean you guys want to be spammed with it. I did try and keep shuffling my queue on mobile (I haven’t turned my PC on in days) but obviously *rolls eyes at self*
I’ve rewritten this post 3x (on mobile!) because I can’t decide what to say. I feel like I should say something because I do have these ‘grand plans’ about getting stuff done. Only problem is I feel like I’m constantly waiting for something to be finished so I’ll be “free”.
Maybe when the present situation resolves itself I’ll finally be able to get to things. Oh I do hope so…
