I see all these posts that are like

• “What’s the deal with popular posts on Tumblr, that better not happen to this one!”
• “I dunno, this post reads like a 1m note post to meeeeeee”
• “oh no how could this have happened no dont oh lordy”
• [apollo image]

And I just… I call shenanigans. Look Tumblr is wacky, sure, but that shit doesn’t ACTUALLY get a gazillion notes unless you’re already big enough on here to get those numbers regardless. No amount of “gosh this post better not be big ;)” would ever get any of mine to go above three notes maximum because only a handful of my followers are even real people.

You sure about that last sentence op

It’s got 12 reblogs, granted that’s more than the three I joked about but it’s not gonna break containment. I feel like not only is my Tumblr too tiny and obscure but surely most people would see this as a blatant note-whoring attempt (to get those sweet, sweet notes that I can spend on [REDACTED] or something) and not want to give me the satisfaction. Er. Wait. Or, since this is Tumblr, and we all complain when a post gets big… not want to give me the… uh…

Okay so if people assume I’m an attention-seeking masochist…
