What the Hell is going on here?
Well that is a good question and I am glad you asked!
This blog was originally meant to be a nice, peaceful, inoffensive blog, to go to and relax while looking at pretty seasonal and/or holiday pictures. I am in North America, so these are the seasons as they occur for me. I am American so these are the holidays which are common here, but I do try to include other holidays. Whether I am successful depends upon if I know about the holidays and if there are tumblr posts which relate to the holidays.
Then I discovered positive cartoons and I have included them. Unfortunately this blog seems to have outlived some of them, or at least their presence on tumblr. So there are some sweet older cartoons in my archive.
I have also added in actors, television shows or movies which I enjoy. This isn’t really a fandom blog, though. For something like that, please visit the blogs that I reblog from.
I also occasionally find a particular post that is funny or weird and I will pop that in here too.
Mainly this is a queued blog. Generally it posts 50 times a day.
But if there is something politically or socially going on, I will post, or reblog other blogs about that. I usually post those when I am actually online though, those are not usually a part of my queue.
I have more recently begun reblogging posts with terms peculiar to tumblr ie. blorbo, or old posts that are well known on tumblr ie. World Heritage posts, or posts that may be so old that people have seen posts about them, but have never seen the original posts. I have been on tumblr for a lot longer than I have had this blog, some of these are nice memories for me, or make me laugh.
Occasionally I will go through my list of followers and reblog something from each of their blogs to keep myself up to date with them and to introduce them to each other. These are usually put into my queue, so you may see that I liked a post and then a week later that I reblogged it. I still try to find posts that somewhat fit my theme.
For my seasonal and holiday posts, I use search terms. As fewer people are on tumblr, I find fewer posts there. Also, some people are just as lazy as I am and forget to tag their posts. I always tag my original posts, which are fewer, but I don’t always remember to tag my reblogs. In general this is because only the tags on the original posts will put then under a search term.
I do however try to tag anything that might squick someone out, or be triggering.
For instance I do reblog from @jenny-jinya . I always tag her posts with jenny jinya, lovingreaper, and sad comic, as well as other tags about the actual content, to help my followers who need to avoid them do so. But I think her messages about cruelty to animals and other such subjects are important and beautifully done, so I want her work to be a part of my blog. I would have never found her if someone I was following hadn’t reblogged her work, so I try to do the same.
I usually follow back those who like or reblog from my blog, unless they have something on their blog which makes me uncomfortable. Usually straight up porno blogs don’t take the time to actually like or reblog something, but lots of people like pretty pictures, so occassionally I find a blog that doesn’t post things that will make me happy when I see them on my dash. That’s nothing against them, just a difference in opinions or tastes.
I don’t often participate in the “tag more people” types of messages. Not that I don’t appreciate them, I just have a lot less time for that rn, I’m sorry! I used to have one another blog which was my main blog, and a second side blog but I abandoned those a few years ago to concentrate on my happy blog due to time constraints. That’s why a little more of my personality has come out on this blog than I originally intended.
So that’s the story. Thank you for reading it!
Peace and love to you!
