Din + 🤏

Hi! so I have some questions based on operating a blog (i’m new and i have no clue what to do… sorry)

what would you recommend putting on a pinned post? how do you put links of other posts (like stories/hcs/etc) onto another post like for a master list? when you start a post for hcs/oneshots do you do it in drafts or on another app and copy and paste it? i’m sorry if this is a lot to ask :,)

Also! i love your blog sm! your writing is so good!!

Hello there! No apologies necessary! Happy to answer any and all questions about this sort of thing 🙂

I'll answer your questions in reverse order. So, starting with drafting posts... I personally have always used Word or Pages when I write (and I was cool with using Google Docs in college as well). And honestly, I would recommend others do the same, mainly to avoid issues with Tumblr drafts not always saving properly. There is no worse feeling than losing all your hard work and not being able to recover it! Tumblr's post editor is just, not the greatest, to put it politely. It's glitchy, difficult to format certain things, and way too easy to mess something up or accidentally delete it altogether. For peace of mind, draft your stuff in a more reliable app and then copy over when you're ready to actually post.

Links... The one thing I'll say in Tumblr's defense is it does have a fairly easy way to link to other posts.* You don't need to know html or coding or anything. I'll explain as a step-by-step:

Copy the url of the post you want to link to. Best way is to click the three dots in the top right corner of the post and then "Copy Link." You can do this part on mobile or a web browser.

Create or edit the post you want to contain the link. Highlight the words you want (ex: Read here!) and a little bar of options will pop up (below the color options on mobile, above the highlighted words on the web). Click the symbol that looks like a chain, then paste the url you previously copied into the designated area. That's it!

For a post with multiple links (like a masterlist), you need to do it on a web browser. Keep the post you're creating up on one browser tab, and then open additional tabs to grab the links to your other posts for copying.

And then one note of caution (because even though it's easy, it's not perfect lol): If you edit a post with links it in, like changing the wording or moving things around, the links will sometimes "break." So I usually open two tabs, one with the post in its original format, and one where I'm editing it, and I can grab from the original if I accidentally mess it up.

*These instructions are for adding links in a post. If you want to set up links in your blog's bio/description section (like in mine), then you do need to use some basic html codes. I referenced this post when I set mine up.

And then finally, pinned posts... this is really up to you. Personally, I think you can't go wrong with some kind of a masterlist, or a "welcome" type post that includes a link to a masterlist. As a reader, whenever I find a new writer I like, I want to be able to see their bibliography, to see a list of all the other stories and things they've created. It helps me get to know them, their style, their fandom preferences, etc. And if I ever lose it or want to go back to it later, it's easy enough to just pull up their blog without having to scroll or search their whole posting history.

But it really depends on what you want visitors to your blog (and yourself!) to see first. Is there an issue/take/sentiment you're especially passionate about? Pin it. Are you running some kind of a game or focusing your writing on a particular prompt list? Pin it. Is there one story you are really proud of? Pin it. And the best part, you can change your mind and pin something else later. I currently have pinned an "I'm back!" post after I went MIA for a bit last year, because idk, I figured that was important for people to see. But I'm probably going to change it back to my masterlist now that it's been a while and I miss seeing that dumb meme I edited for it 😂

I hope I answered your questions and explained everything well! Again, happy to answer anything along these lines! I know starting out can be overwhelming, but a lot of it becomes second nature the more you play around and take note of what other blogs are doing. Then your focus can be on just having fun with your writing!

Hi! can i get a blind date with a clone (if you feel like it <3)

i’m usually the mom of the group and i’m quite active! i enjoy cooking, reading, sports, and hanging out with friends and pets! i like to try and stay organized and in control but that doesn’t always happen. i’m talkative, i take care of my friends and family, and very oblivious to things romance wise lol. i love being active and hanging out with people but sometimes i get burnt out and just need some me time. my love language is quality time and physical touch!

Not me pushing these underrated clones on people until they're loved more... 😆

Your date is...

✨Boss!✨

This clone will appreciate your "mom" role with your friends; he'll probably even laugh out loud at the phrase. He hasn't heard that before, but now that you put it that way, he sees how much it applies to himself, too. Some days he feels like less of a boss and more like he's babysitting. This will launch you two into lively storytelling about your respective friends and all the shenanigans you put up with. But because you both care so much, too, you'll inevitably also end up talking about just how much your people mean to you, all the ways you willingly look out for them, etc.

There will be plenty of other topics you end up bonding over, such as your mutual values on staying active and keeping organized. The more you connect on, the more Boss becomes comfortable on the date. He says he doesn't have time to date, but deep down, he's a real softie who just doesn't know how to put himself out there. He'll enjoy your every smile, every brush of your hand as you pass the bread rolls, every "me too!" moment you share. He'll have a great time.

Boss is a very textbook kinda guy, so your date will have every cliche imaginable. Roses, candles, jazz in the background, the works. It may not feel very personal to you, but thought and effort was still put into every detail. And besides, it's only a first date. I'm sure if you asked to go on more, he'd start to work in more personal things as he gets to know what you like. The more time he spends with someone, the more natural their connection feels.

✨

Want to be set up on a blind date with a Star Wars character?

Tfa Prowl x Cybertonian Femme Reader

Authors Note: ok so yeah there's not really Prowl x reader yet but if i do continue this there will be? Also thank yall for your support!! It means so much to me! and just a warning that this was originally written forever ago and i did enough editing to this so it's atleast readable so yeah. Oh and this didn't take me nearly as long as i thought it would so i'm actually pretty happy about that. lmk if i should write more to this cause i've somewhat got an idea of where this was going.

Reader is female and cybertronian

Reader works as a sparkling caretaker

Her built-in power is that she can make holograms and can basically live in them (she can let others too) and they act like they can touch, taste, etc so like another body... until she removes them

There’s a reference to tfp lol

lots of timeskips

(Y/H) - your height

(Y/H/C) - your hair color

(Y/E/C) - your eye color

Setting:    While prowl was gone (before the protoforms were destroyed) he was required to bring back sparklings who were on a ship, which had broken down in space, with a bot he trained with. Oh and there are space pirates now

( ) = comms 

[3rd POV]

Aboard a ship in deep space all was quiet except for one room. Eleven sparklings surrounded two bots who were each sharing their experience during their ninja bot training. 

Y/n placed Twilight, the youngest sparkling, on her hip and whispered to Prowl that she was putting the femme to bed. Quietly humming to herself, she gently swayed towards her berthroom. Twilight was too young to share a room with the other rambunctious sparklings, so she offered to keep her in her room. Slowly, Twilight was placed on her railed berth while she sang her to sleep. Seeing the young child sleeping, she walked over to her own berth and started recharging. 

Alarms rang out through the ship as Y/n jumped off her berth. Alarmed, she grabbed the sparkling and quickly ran towards the control room. 

“Prowl! What’s happening!?” 

“We’re being ambushed by pirates! Take the sparklings and put them in emergency stasis! I’ll try to shake them!” He answered. 

The sparklings were huddled in a corner shaking when she burst in the room, “Everyone follow me! Keep up now!” Quickly they rushed to the lower deck. After doing a head check she found that one was missing. 

Y/n turned towards the oldest of the group and asked them to watch the others. Swiftly, she raced throughout the ship calling the young mech’s name while trying to calm down Twilight. Upon not finding Axel, the missing sparkling, she disappointedly sprinted into the control room to find that he was in the room helping Prowl. 

“Axel! Don’t leave the group like that! Prowl do you need anymore help?” She took a deep breath. ”If not, I’m taking you,” she looks towards Axel, “to the others. Ok?”

Prowl looks over towards her. “You can take him down with the others.” 

She frowned then grabbed Axel with her free hand and rushed out of the room. 

(Is everything ok?) She asked Prowl over the comms. 

(Not so much. They’re hot on our trail.) He hesitated, (I need you up here when you are done.) 

(Ok, I’ll be there in a bit.) She bit her derma. This was not a good sign. 

Silently, they stumbled to the lower deck. While passing the escape pods a huge boom sounded out through the ship as they were flung into a pod. Suddenly the doors slammed shut and they were ejected into space. 

Eclipse stared wide optic as they witnessed what was happening; the ship had been shot and was hurtling towards a large asteroid. She turned around and gazed at Axel and Twilight. Their terrified eyes met hers. 

    Silently Axel spoke,” What are we going to do? Our power will go out soon and we have no energon.”

“Well we will go into stasis until someone finds us. There is really is no other choice.” She explained. “But we will be fine.”

She took one look at the younglings before putting them into stasis pods then herself.

                      [was planning on making this ch.2 but its not long enough so another time skip]

    ( )= comm.      

   [Y/n’s POV]

Alarms ring out through the small pod as I online. Pain shoots out through my body as I stand. Looking at the surroundings through the windows, I find that we crashed on a planet. Who knows how long its been since we were shot off of the ship!

As I start to open the door I realize that Axel and Twilight are still stuck in stasis pods! 

I find that the stasis’ door control is broken and I sigh. Why do these things happen to me?

I quickly grab a piece of the metal sticking out of the ship and examine the pod for a way to break the glass without hurting the kids. 

I decided to not break the glass but instead to ply open the door. I wedge the metal in between the door and

“What are we going to do now?” Axel asked. 

“We’ll I’ll learn about what lives here and try to fit in... I guess?”

           [timeskip]

“Ok. I found out about some stuff and found us disguises.... well I can disguise us as a family if that’s ok with you two.” I looked at Axel and Twilight. They both nodded even though Twilight probably thought that she was gonna be fed. It was going to be a struggle to keep us safe and fed. 

Frowning I scanned through some photos of people and chose a lady who was about (Y/H) with (Y/H/C) hair and (Y/E/C). 

Then for Axel chose a young boy who had dirty-blond hair and brown eyes. He seemed around the age eight or nine. 

I smiled, Twilight was next, I’m going to have fun with this. For her I chose a young girl with auburn hair and eyes that were blue on the outside and brown closer to the pupil. 

Now onto the hard part: a believable backstory. 

               [biiiiiggg timeskip]

As we walked in our apartment I dropped off our stuff at the door and explore the rooms. There was two bedrooms, a kitchen+living room, and one bathroom. I sit in a bedroom and grab my new phone and look for a job. To my surprise found a job as a building supervisor for a business called Sumdac Systems. It is in a city called Detroit, Michigan. As I quickly look up where that is I realized that it’s like reeeealy far away...... and I’m in......... Jasper, Nevada. I was required to be there to do the job so I quickly schedule a interview on zoom since I was so far away. If I got the job then we will leave if not then we stay. 

    [Three days later]

  As I start to log on to the meeting/interview I look towards the kids’ room. We had each chosen different names; Axel’s is Austin, Twilight’s is Cassie, and mine is Y/n Smith. I was a “single mother” of Austin and Cassie. We ‘came’ from Nevada, looking for a new start. My “husband” had died in a plane crash.

I sigh. What am I going to do? It’s taking a lot out of me to keep up the disguises. Hopefully we can find other bots. 

   As I face the screen I realized that Mr. Sumdac was looking at me. “Oh! Hi Mr. Sumdac! I’m Y/n Smith… well you probably know that but I’m here for the interview.” I nervously smile. I am NOT good at this stuff hence why I work with children. They don’t judge nearly as much as adults.

  He laughes. “Yes. Now I assume you have experience with robots?” Oh the irony

                [After the interview]

   I throw myself onto my bed. That was way too stressful. However I think I made a good impression..... maybe. He said that he would message me in about a day or two to tell me if I made it or not so I can start the moving process as soon as possible.

   Austin ran into my room. “Tw-Cassie is crying and keeps throwing her toys at me.” He complained while rubbing his forehead.

   “Oh no. Are you ok?” I slide off of my bed and stand up. Sighing, I pick him up and set him on my hip. 

    He nods, ”Y-yes. But my helm hurts.” He looks at me with teary eyes. 

    “Aww I’m sorry I’ll fix that ok? And remember it’s head not helm kiddo.”

I walk towards their room, wondering what’s wrong with my wonderful, dear child Cassie. Once again I am reminded how hard it is to be a single mom. Now all I need- actually I’m not going to jinx myself so we’ll leave it there.

hang on I’m trying to see something

don’t tell me the name of your pet, just tell me in the tags the name you call them that’s got nothing to do with their actual name

I hope you like them! these are some of my personal favorites ;)

two fish are in a tank, one turns to the other and says… “how do you drive this thing?”

I made sound fish tacos last night! they just swam right past them though…

why are fish so easy to weigh? because they have their own scales!

A fish walks into a bar and the bartender asks him “what can i get you to drink?” the fish replies gasping, “Water! i need water!”

Hi! would you like to hear some fish jokes?

What kind of question is that?
