omgcp fic bingo card

card by @parvuls !!

1. underrated fic is Fresh by whatwouldlilydo (@whatwouldfrogsdo )

Chowder centric taking place his frosh year. I absolutely love the characterization on both chowder and farmer. Here we see deaf farmer and trans chowder (two of my personal fav hc’s for them). fluffy and a bit angsty and a real feel good, this is the fic that truly solidified my wanting to be in the omgcp fandom.

2. introduced me to a new author is That Boy by @wrathofthestag

Alicia’s pov where she goes on a rabbit hole down bitty’s social media when she discovers jack has a new “friend”. it’s a sweet, short fic— always a pick me up. her and bob are absolutely adorable and hilarious here and i love how they are written throughout.

3. free is home like apple pie by @doggernaut

i cannot express how much i adore this fic. at 26k it’s a really easy read. despite that, it’s got so much complexity. i love how it takes years of pain and loneliness and packs all of that in there without dragging it out. a really cute AU, jack doing something i wouldn’t expect, yet somehow fits him perfectly. there’s one scene in here about paintings and friendship that i don’t think i’ll ever forget— i tear up every time.

4. still a WIP is limelight by @ivecarvedawoodenheart

if you can consider 38k a WIP then this is the first that comes to mind. this fic, like all others by syd, is just so gorgeous. alicia and bobs early relationship starts as a hookup and oh no! alicia is pregnant. it’s how the two of them navigate public image, falling in love, and young adulthood (all while being famous). you get instantly absorbed into this story and can’t put it down. also, very nice smut

5. canon divergence is heavy on the sugar by wit

a beast of a one shot (41k) you cannot stop reading this one until you’ve finished it. it’s flirty and fun, and i’m obsessed with jack in this fic. really takes you for a journey and there’s something great about seeing a casual barista/customer relationship blossom into a bigger and better ordeal.

I went to a botanical garden a while back and saw this beauty. I said aloud, "That is a botanical shitpost!" Then I misread its ID plaque and thought "Yes! Tree Euphoria is the emotion I'm experiencing!" Anyway, please witness this Tree Euphorbia (Euphorbia bourgaeana) with me

ok i doubt this is the true shape of the creature in question– the fan shape looks like fasciation, which is an abnormality that can happen when a growing tip of a plant gets damaged or infected in a certain way– but the absolute SHAPE this has taken as a result, like….. my god….. shapes that inflict tree europhoria upon ye for sure

reminds me of celosia "cristata", a celosia argentea mutant where the fasciation is a desired trait for aesthetics.

To illustrate this post by @mayahawkse I would like to visualize to you the difference:

A post in 2023:

A post in 2014:

A zoom out of the same post:

This is what a community looks like.

See how in 2023 almost all of the reblogs come from the OP, from their few hours/days in the tag search. Meanwhile in 2014 the % of reblogs from OP is insignificant, because most of the reblogs come from the reblogs within the fandom, within the micro-communities formed there. You didn't need to rely on tags, or search, or being featured. Because the community took care of you, made sure to pass the work between themselves and onto their blog and exposed their followers to it. It kept works alive for years.

It's not JUST the reblog/like ratio that causing this issue, it's the type of interaction people have. They're content with scrolling and liking the search engine, instead of actually having a reblogging relationship with other blogs in their community.

Anyways, if you want to see more content you like, the only true way to make it happen is to reblog it. Likes do not forward content in no way but making OP feel nice. Reblogs on the other hand make content eternal. They make it relevant, they make it exist outside of a fickle tumblr search that hardly works on the best of days.

If you want more of something, reblog it.

Something I see mentioned often is "I don't have many followers, my reblog won't matter" which is untrue.

First of all, reblogging, commenting and interacting is how you start gathering your own micro community, second of all— you literally do not know how far a single reblog from you could mean in the long run.

For instance, let's say you only have one person reblog from you, and that person only have one person who reblogged from them also, and so on, and somewhere ten reblogs down the line a very large blog reblogs it and boom, the post is getting more and more exposure!

You see, it does not matter if you don't have a large following so long as you cultivate a micro community with the people you do enjoy interacting daily with.

As you can see in the second picture I added, most of the reblogs were between very small groups of people, and occasionally it'll lapse into a large blog that would create a bigger reblog pool. BUT STILL. Saying that you don't have many followers and so it doesn't matter if you don't reblog is UNTRUE.

Even if someone just randomly wanders into your blog one day, it's beneficial for both sides because A. Seeing you reblog content they like might be enough for them to follow you B. They would be exposed to new content creators they didn't know previously and might also follow / reblog from them!

So yes, do not underestimate what your reblogs and words mean, just because you're not 'big' or whatever. It is not how tumblr works!!

P.S IT IS NOT CRINGE TO REBLOG 10 YEARS OLD CONTENT ON TUMBLR. YOU SEE IT. YOU LIKE IT? REBLOG IT. DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU DIG IT FROM THE DEPTHS OF HELL ITSELF. XOXO :'D <3
