noxelementalist asked: Hi! I'm a new follower of yours (well, new Tumblr follower- think i've been following your fic since last Oct, if a person can follow just fic). Anyhoo, being new here, I was wondering if you knew of any awesomely awesome people like you around that I should follow? 'Cause I'm not gonna lie, I have no frickin' clue how to just, like, *randomly* meet awesome people. I swear it's like high school all over. Do I hunt fandoms? what's the Tumblrquitte here? I AM LOST WITH NO MAP, HALP OH AMAZING ONE!
HI BB HI. So, HERE IS MY NEW-TO-TUMBLR ADVICE (which admittedly is probably quite bad because I cheated and made everyone and their brother and Ro—mostly Ro, RO, DO YOU REMEMBER WHEN I KNEW NOTHING OF TUMBLR—guide me through):
1) Find you some fuckyeah blogs. Like, type fuckyeah[thing and/or person and/or fandom I enjoy].tumblr.com or into your search bar and see what comes up. See who is posting things that look awesome! Follow them.
2) Find you some tags. Like, type tumblr.com/tagged/[thing and/or person and/or fandom I enjoy] into your search bar and see what comes up. See who is posting things that look awesome! Follow them.
3) Reblog things! Add your thoughts! Add them in tags if you are nervous or just really really enjoy the comedic timing available to you in tags what no I don’t do that why are you looking at me like that um. Reply to posts! Send people asks! Interaction will teach you how to use tumblr, introduce you to awesome people, AND lead you to new blogs to follow.
4) Be kind, and seek kindness in return. This is not really tumblr advice; it is just advice. I am a broken record, and the only tune I play is “I want to buy the world a Coke.” And, sometimes, the BeeGees.
5) See below! FOLLOWERS, IF YOU HAVE NEW-TO-TUMBLR ADVICE, LEAVE IT IN REPLIES/REBAGELS/WHAT HAVE YOU. Oh, jeez, can you even reblog asks? See, this is why I should not be giving tumblr advice <3
