#important issue

I will be tagging them with the relevant tags as well as "#important issue"

We all know that one of those is the 'right way' and the other is the 'wrong way'. And we all know which is which, so don't pretend you don't.

But there is one thing that both ways agree on.

So we all need to sit down and have a chat. The TSC fandom physically makes me want to cry sometimes. At this moment in time, I am this close to deleting all my content and leaving the TSC fandom. Have a look at this:

Now I wonder......what post may the first picture be for? Real content? An important issue being addressed?

No. It’s a MEME. A bloody meme which took me about 5 minutes to make.

Now what might type of post may the second picture be for?

Well let me tell you. It’s a content post which took me 5 DAYS to make. 5 days. I spent 5 days making it for it to get 270-ish notes. Yes, this sounds like a lot and no I’m not just complaining for myself. This is an issue which needs to be addressed because for some reason some of you still haven’t gotten the memo. 270 notes sounds like a lot right? Well compare it to 700+ notes. 700+ notes for a MEME. In my opinion, that’s out of order. It’s not fair, it’s not right.

Content creators spend days and weeks making their content. If you haven’t noticed, that’s a LONG time. They spend all that time making content for it to get at the most maybe 500 notes? That is not ok. Content creators spend their time making things for the fandom. They do it by choice. They decide that they want to entertain and make others happy and so they make content for the fandom. Is the way to repay them? By giving a meme they made in 5 minutes more spotlight than a post which took them weeks to make?

It’s demotivating as hell. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: this isn’t TikTok or Instagram y’all. This isn’t the place where funny videos are the ones with the most likes. This is Tumblr. This is a place MADE for fandoms and made for content. But no. It’s become a place where memes have dominated and real content sits there, gathering dust, going completely unnoticed. It’s so disheartening and discouraging.

I’ll give you an example. I spent a week making a content post. Did I post it when I finished it? No. It spent a week sitting in my drafts because part of me knew that at the most it would get 200 notes. An idea which I love and really enjoyed bringing to life would barely get any attention because ‘Oh look haha a hilarious meme’.

Do y’all see what I’m getting at here? Content creators are discouraged to the point where they want to delete all their content and just pack it up and leave. Can we blame them? No. They spend time and effort making things and it goes unnoticed.

Another point: to those of you who take content for granted, here’s an idea. Why don’t you make some content. Why don’t you write a fic or draw something? Why don’t you make an edit? Why don’t you make some content that you’ve worked hard on, to see that your efforts go unnoticed because everyone’s too busy looking at a meme? Yeah. It hurts. You don’t realise it until you’re in that situation.

Overall I just want to say: TSC fandom get your shit together. Forget the memes and the shitposts, boost the content. Boost the art and the edits and the fics. Not the memes which took around 5 minutes to make. The TSC fandom has become notorious for reblogging memes but not content and we need to stop. Reblog that fic, reblog that piece of art, reblog that edit. Yes, appreciate the memes but always remember that that’s not what’s holding the fandom together. Start appreciating content because before long there’s not going to be any content left for you to appreciate.

Cereal first, but I don't really care about the order. BUT who the fuck eats cereal with hot milk. Eww
