The TikTok-fication Of Tumblr And Why It Needs To Stop Before Your Fave Writers Are Gone For Good:

The TikTok-fication of Tumblr and why it needs to stop before your fave writers are gone for good:

1. “Part 2??”

Unlike TikTok, writing 5,000 words for a fic does not happen in 6 seconds or more. Weekly updates are from a writer who spoils you and is passionate about their story. Don’t kill the passion by demanding for more and not appreciate what’s already given.

2. The DC Conundrum

Many writers on this platform hail back from the ff.net days where dark content is a norm, not like TikTok where even death has to be censored or you could get flagged.

Despite that, writers are doing you a service by sharing fic warnings despite how it may take away from a plot twist or a big reveal. However, there’s a fine line between sharing warnings and downright spoiling our own work. Heed the warnings, don’t be a dick. If you don’t like it, don’t read it. Learn how to filter your own content, too, while you're at it.

3. The Wild Algorithm

Unlike TikTok, Tumblr’s FYP is not in your face and you have a choice to not view it. Content often gets buried a few days after it’s posted without reblogs or comments to keep it alive.

4. Passive Content Consumption

Ties back with point #1. If you’re only sitting back and reading works without supporting the writers, they can’t spend 6 seconds to conjure up a fic. Writing takes time, editing, proofreading. Tumblr is a book club, not a delivery service.

5. De(constructive) Criticism

If an opinion isn’t asked for, don’t give it. Many writers choose this craft for their own enjoyment and to share a thought or story about a beloved character to those who love them, too. If an opinion is asked? Be kind when you share it across to them. No one likes their hard work to be shat on by someone who doesn’t understand the time and effort it took to create this piece.

6. Are You My Content Machine?

Again, back to point #1. Writers have busy lives. There are days when we want to scream into the void about our favourite characters. We want to share our thoughts about them or sometimes, we just want to talk about what happened during lunch break. Demanding and expecting that a writer post content without giving a shit about the soul behind the screen? Dehumanizing.

Don’t ruin the experience for those of us who are still here. Do your part to make fandom better for everyone.

what if tiffanny started like trying to copy reader like to a t but failing

like tiffany reads readers diary only to not be able to copy their interest

when they bake its burnt, gross, or just slightly off to the point its noticable to everyone but yk

reader likes making music ? tiffany cant sing or play any instruments. any music that used to make the manor feel like home now just sounds rachet. like a class full of elemntary schoolers trying to play the recorder

reader likes to play music ? the music that once haunted the manor is gone and replaced with silence.

reader likes painting ? the paintings reader made are taken down by tiffany and replaced with hers. suddenly the quality is buns. everything looks ai and off.

reader likes to make drinks for others ? the drinks tiffany makes arent the same. too salty. too sweet. not salty enough. not sweet enough.

ect ect idk

-🍰

Yessss! ok you've read my mind bc this was the exact direction i was going in!!! it's gonna be so fun seeing how the family reacts to these changes and how they regret ignoring reader. the pure anguish they feel as they realize that reader doesn't care anymore. in my story, they're all kinda alr possessive over each other so they're gonna go crazy over reader. especially bruce, once he realizes how horrible hes been he'll want to make up for 11-12 years of lost time.

Tiffany is also weirdly obsessed with reader. like the hobbies I have in mind for reader are theater kid things like musicals, instruments, reading, baking, things like that and those are things that really have to come from the heart so no matter how hard she tries, she just can't compete. she doesn't even realize that her failed imitation is what exposes her, that she drew attention to your greatness with all her failures.

Sorry if this sucks im legit so tired and can't sleep :(

Omg the mafia batfam is deliciously dark, well done!

While I know that Mafia!Reader would likely never do this, I can't help but imagine a bolder version of them passively rebelling against the batfam with a 'fucked if I do, fucked if I don't' mentality. There's no way out of this, so may as well annoy the hell out them while hiding behind their newfound 'loyalty' as a shield.

Their method? Trolling.

Red hood's about to snipe a target? Reader plays 'smooth criminal' on blast at his location, making him miss the target and alert half of gotham.

Dicks trying to negotiate with a rival gang? Oops, how did that photo of him sleeping with the leaders daughter get leaked?

Hell they somehow manage to hack their 'business only' cars to automatically play chase music whenever they drive past 60mph.

Just little ways of pissing them off but not enough to maybe revoke the Wayne name

If readers going to be forced to play their familys game, they can at least try to make them ragequit.

(Or idk maybe they get taken out right away, but at least they went out iconic lol)

LMAO IMAGINE

ok so i could totally see reader doing goofy shit like this when the family really starts acting yandere. Rn reader is too obsessed with the idea of fitting in and proving themselves to them. Readers also scared of Bruce ngl 😭

like he has my girl shaking in her boots 24/7 fr

It's so good and you're doing amazing!! Please keep up the great work. I can't wait for more to come. Also, Damian??? Hello??? Um, yes, actually, we can punch you and just leave.
