From someone who’s survived MySpace, livejournal, deviantart, and fanfiction.nets’ content purges and bad policy updates, here’s some advice on how to get through tumblr’s recent bullshit:

– don’t knee jerk delete. I know it’s tempting to peace out immediately but hang on and do the other steps first. Out right ghosting and erasing everything is how fandoms die.

– archive everything on your blog you want to keep

– tell your followers how they can archive and keep your work too. A lot of fic and art were only saved from ff.net and lj because other people saved it first. If you’re cool with other people saving your work for them to personally keep, let them know this. You can absolutely discourage reposting but I really do highly recommend you allow people to personally save fic and art they like and are worried will disappear forever. Digital Dark Ages are a real thing.

– tell people where you’re jumping ship to. Give links. Keep that info up, even if you’ve left the site.

– go through who you follow and find out where else you can follow them. Save their work if they’ll allow it. It’s tedious as hell but if you want to keep up with people on here clicking on their page to check in is the best way to do it.

– support places like ao3. This is exactly why ao3 asks for donations a few times a year. They are a 100% anti-purging, judgement free, ad free non profit run by an elected board and protected by lawyers. Places like ao3 literally save fandom so please continue to support them and other similar archives. This is exactly why ao3 is so important.

Please everyone look at this.~…

Tumblr wants to take away all adult content on the platform, abandoning a large majority of it’s userbase which uses the site for this exact matter. Please sign the above petition if you would like to keep tumblr the way it is. They need to be shown that they will lose a HUGE amount of their traffic if they’re too carry this through.

here’s the thing

the reason why some of us fall in love with fictional characters is because we learn every little aspect of them. we learn about them inside and out; their personalities, their little quirks and habits, their thoughts, their past, and their deepest darkest secrets. we find traits in them that remind us, of us, and those we love in the real world.

some of us turn to these characters for comfort. it might not be direct comfort, but it does help. personally, i find comfort in my favorite characters from watching them growing and overcoming their hardships. oddly enough, it gives me the motivation and faith that i’ll overcome mine.

whether we come to find love for a character from an anime, manga, movie, book, video game, cartoon show, or a real show, we learn so much about them that they feel real to us.
