I've always wanted to be mutuals with you, how does one do that so we could be friend?
Well I mean, the first criteria is that you have to be a Voltron blog (I prefer Voltron only, but having mostly Voltron and then some other appropriately tagged stuff is fine). I am a Voltron blog. I’m only going to follow blogs that will give me the content I need for my own blog. There are some exceptions to this rule; some of my mutuals are just my friends, or people I met in servers. I’d feel bad if I weren’t following my friends, even if they’re in different fandoms.
I also prefer people who tend to make original content!! Mainly because i don’t like seeing the same posts circulate on my dash. Especially if you’re just reblogging things from me, I don’t need to constantly see posts I just reblogged on my dash again two minutes later.
This is a kind of shallow thing, but I also follow blogs based on urls! Especially urls that are Clearly Voltron Related, so I know what I’m getting from the get go.
Finally, a lot of things just depend on what your blog is like. I’m not constantly looking at new blogs, but I do occasionally look at mutuals of my mutuals. I guess some things I judge for is… theme color, kinds of posts, your attitude (I like funny blogs lmao), your tagging system, and your icon. Little things like that.
Also, I totally admit that sometimes I search for my URL on people’s blogs, because 1. I like to see what they tag my stuff as, and 2. I’m nosy like that.
