Can You Tag Asks on Tumblr? The Unspoken Rules Outlined
Ah, the mystical realm of Tumblr! A place where memes, art, and chaos collide. So, can you tag asks on Tumblr? Well, let’s talk turkey—or in this case, tags!
First off, when someone says “ask to tag,” it usually means that the OP (Original Poster, for clarity’s sake) thinks their post might touch on something a bit sensitive, but they don’t have the time or brainpower to figure out which trigger warnings (aka tag magic) to slap on it. Hence, they leave it open for you, the precious user, to suggest a specific tag. Why? Because Tumblr is all about protecting those emotional vibes!
Imagine there’s a post featuring, oh, a creepy eye aesthetic that doesn’t really scream “body horror.” The OP might put “ask to tag” in their post, opening the floor for the comments section. You’ll swoop in and say something like, “Hey, can you tag this cw eyes?” And BAM! The OP adds that tag just for you. Love that collaborative spirit!
Now, how do you respond? Here are your options, my friend:
- Comment on the Post: You can be all adorable and comment directly, tagging the person who reblogged it. Something like “Your tags 😭😭” usually does the trick.
- Screenshot Those Tags: If you want to turn the tag praises into a full-blown celebration, take a screenshot of their fabulous tags and throw it into a reblog. Just ensure you do this with people you know. Nobody wants an awkward taggery moment!
- Reply Up on the Post: You could tag them in a reply on the original post. They’ll get a nifty notification, but it won’t clutter up your feed with a new reblog.
But a word of caution: if their reblog came directly from you, they already know you’re going to get notified about their tags. They’re probably cool with you showing them some love!
Now, here’s where it gets tricky: never reblog someone’s work with a comment in the body of the post. Seriously, you’ll feel the wrath of Tumblr’s unspoken rules coming down on you! Instead, if you love someone’s tags, take a screenshot and say something like “Too good to hide in the tags!” That way, everyone gets to see the magic, while keeping it classy.
And remember, Tumblr can become quite the echo chamber. This isn’t a place for your glorious, bold thoughts to wander free; it’s better kept in the tags where only your followers will see it. So keep those comments to yourself!
