A Brief Summary Of How User Engagement Is Tracked On Tumblr, For The Newcomer:

A brief summary of how user engagement is tracked on Tumblr, for the newcomer:

When you like or reblog a post, that counts as user engagement for the person you liked or reblogged from, and shows up in their notifications.

If the person you liked or reblogged a post from wasn’t the original poster (i.e., you’re liking or reblogging a reblog), it also counts as user engagement for the original poster, and shows up in their notifications as well.

This means that user engagement from your likes and reblogs can potential accrue to two different people, the original poster and the person you liked or reblogged from.

Consequently, you cannot “steal” user engagement from someone by reblogging their post.

This is one of the very few areas where Tumblr is actually functions more reasonably than other social media platforms.

Note that this is only true if you use Tumblr’s built-in reblogging function. If you save someone else’s content to your local device and append it to a new post, you effectively become the original poster from that point on.

This means that on Tumblr, “reblogging” and “reposting” are two different things; if you see someone complaining about “reposting”, this is not the same as reblogging.

Commenting when reblogging does not affect any of this – unlike, say, Twitter, where quote-retweeting causes user engagement to accrue to the quote-retweet and not to the original tweet – and you can and should do so freely.

However, every Tumblr user can see who exactly you reblogged a post from, which functions as a soft disincentive against making inane comments; if you make a dumb comment on a reblog, people who see your reblog may “back up” one step in the reblog chain to reblog a version of the post without your comment.

Nobody understands tags, and there’s a fair amount of evidence that how tags work changes periodically and without warning.

Tags are a divine mystery.

Day 3 (Three)

Bi Pride

Characters: “Nicoren [no last name in canon | Disaster Crew] & Stephan Castellanos-Nomikos [Disaster Crew]”

[Image Description: Two people stand near each other with part of a big cat next to one character to show that he is related (not in a family way, in a concept way) to it. The man on the left who has the big cat, specifically one based on a jaguar that has a condition that causes the production of a lot of melanin, is named Nicoren. Nicoren has dark skin, oddly green eyes, and curly black hair that seems to have some deep jade green in it. Nicoren is wearing a tank top with the text “I’m purrfect” on it in the bisexual colors, he is also wearing black shorts with bisexual leggings, and black boots to finish this look. Nicoren appears to have a strange tattoo on the inside of his lower right arm, he is also a “were-jaguar” or at least something that can be called that.

The man on the right is a Caucasian with messy blond hair and golden eyes who is named Stephan of the Castellanos-Nomikos family. Stephan is still sitting down and is much bigger than Nicoren.]

[Text in Image: Stephan; 7′2″ (seven feet and two inches, or around 218 [two hundred and eighteen] and a half centimeters) monstrosity (in reference to the fact that Stephan is a ridiculously tall being; ‘(no one in fam [family] knows why he is so tall); Nicoren; lowkey 6′4″ (six feet and four inches, or around 193 [one hundred and ninety three] centimeters); You think he’s like 5′6″ (five feet and six inches, or around 167 [one hundred and sixty seven] and a half centimeters) but no (in reference to Nicoren); Both Bisexual; combination of Nicolau & Renato (a note of the names combined to make Nicoren’s name); leads people to victory (the meaning of Nicolau, to my knowledge); reborn (meaning of Renato, to my knowledge); Were Jaguar; June 3rd (third); Bi Pride]

These two (plus their friend) are not apart of any universe I have made yet but I want to state that they are somewhat inspired by alittlesliceofcucumber‘s Spooky Lads! AU. They aren’t dating but close friends. The three of them have a business of sorts that is basically “pay us a commission and suggest what we do, and we try our best to do it (without destroying the world)” they will even do some less than legal things but they generally won’t commit murder. They are often mistaken for monster hunters as they often do things related to the supernatural but they are very much not.

Nicoren and Stephan get along great, with their love language being lovingly insulting each other, being salty, and sarcasm, but they have one genuine argument that they will never agree on and will go on until someone stops them. It is all about whether being turned a vampire, but your heart never stopped beating until they were full vampire, could be considered dying.

Here are some close ups of the two.

[Image Description: A close up Nicoren and more specifically the text. You can see that here Nicoren has fangs. Nicoren is doing finger guns. A small example of the tattoo is seen off of Nicoren’s body. It looks like a “t” with a shape similar to the circular part of the on/off button that on electrical devices. The circular part does not touch the “t” and is at the bottom/smooth part of a “t”]

[Text in Image: Nicoren; combination of Nicolau & Renato (a note of the names combined to make Nicoren’s name); leads people to victory (the meaning of Nicolau, to my knowledge); reborn (meaning of Renato, to my knowledge); Were Jaguar; June 3rd (third); Bi Pride]

Nicoren is the newest member of this odd jobs club and least educated. He is both the muscle, the looks, and the distraction. He can best be described using three (3) words that start with the letter ‘b,’ bada**, b*tch, and b*stard. He knows that he is a solid 10 on looks but cannot read (Stephan and Kolimai are teaching him) but he can identify a crazy amount of random stuff.

[Image Description: A close up of Stephan so you can see the text better and see that his eyes are golden with tones of red and not brown.]

Stephan is from a well known, famous, and powerful family of magic users (most are sorcerers but some are wizards) and is an extremely intelligent young man... so you would think he would be good at magic... but his genetics decided to be a**holes and gave a condition where he will get migraines, mild vertigo, and very severe motion sickness when he casts (or even affected by) magic. There is only one spell he can cast without this condition activating, summon balloons. He is also gained a habit where if he panics and can cast a spell, he will cast that spell. It has solved a lot of problems, but it also made a ridiculous amount of problem exponentially worse.

He is extremely stubborn, clever, and can hold a grudge for eternity. He may be an a**hole, but he is a loving a**hole.
