paused all my queues across my various blogs. going to try to limit my activity on here these next few days bc they’re looking at engagement and activity regardless of what we’re actually posting (disdain for this update). boost in activity = positive outcome in their eyes. it sucks tho bc I love being here with y’all, and the whole point is that I want to hang out with you on here and have fun. but in the meantime I’m going to: make more gifs and edits, work on some WIP fics, practice coding, read stuff, and hopefully have cool things to share when this gets fixed

PSA to all artists / gifmakers / creators who self-reblog to recirculate their work: you shouldn't delete those self-reblogs later. I know it's tempting to do to keep things clean and organized and not have a million of the same post on your blog but, did you know that if someone likes your self-reblog (aka not the original post, but your reblog of it) and you then delete that reblog, the post disappears from their likes? Because yup, that's a thing that happens. Which means that if someone say, likes posts to later reblog them or add them to their queue or read / check out the post in greater detail later the post will be lost to them if you delete your reblogs! So don't do that, or at least wait a longer period of time before you delete / private your reblogs.
