My tumblr feed is once again nothing but Cockles.

And I try to avoid following too many RPS blogs (a few venture into Cockles on occasion, like so, obviously, but.)

Literally I’m just scrolling through walls of Cockles rn.

I could probably blacklist the tag but generally even though I’m not an RPS fan 99% of Cockles squii is so benign I’d just be missing out on general adorbs JenMish content.

BUT STILL LMAO

THEY MAKE US DO IT!! IT’S NOT OUR FAAUULLLTTT!!

For serious, though, I have considered having a sideblog to split off my SPN/Destiel and my RPS content. Unexpectedly, Cockles pretty much took over this blog this year. (It surprised me too, believe me, and I have some analytic thoughts about why that I might share later.) But I do still want to do what I came here for; write meta for the show and reflect on it in a fairly analytic way (with additional yelling about especially great photos or panels). 

I actually think most of my followers are here for Cockles because my numbers go up-up-up after I do Cockles meta or crack posts and I SO GET THAT b/c I am delighted by Cockles blogs and lurked on them for a long time before deciding to go ahead and be a public supporter of an RPS (again, complex thoughts on this). I think this would have to stay the Cockles blog because, honestly, I think most of my followers are here for Cockles (and the other ones tolerate it or blacklist the tag b/c it is, as you say, largely benign).

So, I’m turning that over in my head and I’m somewhat curious about who would make the jump to a quieter and more show-focused sideblog while this one stayed Cockles and yelling and endless pictures of Misha Collins. It seems kinda nuts to ask people to follow you two places, or choose based on content, but I don’t want to lose either of my communities (the meta blogs AND the dumpster mansion). 

I’m a HUGE fan of curating your internet experience to make it the best for yourself, though, and I think this might improve things for other people and also let me interact in more different ways on different types of content. Hmmm. Thoughts welcome, in comments or asks or DMs.

Sorry for the post hijack @intelligentshipper but my thoughts are often with you and my other buddies who dip their toe in the flaming trash fires but don’t like to backstroke through it.

Oh, I’m not trying to make anyone feel called out. If anything, it’s become something I routinely chuckle about. I really don’t mind if. If I did, I’d just blacklist the tag. You guys are so benign about your RPS that I really can’t bring myself to be frustrated with it. It’s like tumblr is my flag on if I missed anything about Jensen and/or Misha anywhere. 

*clicks to tumblr*

Oh, better go see what everyone is on about.
