How do you decide what to tag your gifs?

Oh…hmmm. I’ve been thinking about this since I saw this ask and realizing that I have a system I deliberately don’t think much about. I don’t want to have to think about it each post and make decisions on what to include, and what order and all that. So I just have a set of rules, I guess, and they do slowly evolve, but I try to stay consistent so it’s almost autopilot when it’s time to do that.

I think I started off with the show name, character names (up to four), actor names (same), and that was it. Oh, and spoiler tags if it’d aired in the last day, or if it was a season drop, then in the last week. But the tagging is for three purposes, right, for other people looking for content, for me to easily look up things on my blog, and for people to avoid it if they don’t want to see it. So I added femslash related stuff on my own, and then the edit and ep numbers when asked for one show, but because I like to be consistent, I’d go back and add them for others. And ship tags…I think I decided that myself too.

The only other tweak is that I used to just use the show name as it was exactly but now I go with something identifying if it’s a common word, so not just “warrior” but “warrior cinemax”. I’ve been mulling over additional tags like tvedit or wlwedit or whatever, but I don’t want to go back and add them to existing posts and also, well, that’s exposure to whole separate big groups and I don’t wanna be thinking, well, is this wlw-y enough to be using this tag or whatever.

Damnnnn I’m actually really enjoying filthy rich… and I highkey ship ginger x becky now.. I’m sad they cancelled T.T do you think there’s a chance they pick the show up again?

I do appreciate how much it gets that Ginger and Kim Cattrall are the leads, I do like to see mostly women sparring, and that within that very religious, judgmental environment and the main goal of milking as much soapy drama as possible, it does try to point out and reward when people are actually good and kind to each other. That does make it an easier watch than it might have been.

But at the same time, I do think as we get to the season finale, that it’s going to revert to the drama and will probably ruin a bunch of things in preparation for what would have been the arcs for season 2, including, sadly, Becky/Ginger. And I don’t really think it will be picked up, sadly. I think even as the summer show it was clearly meant to be, in normal times, it’d have been hard pressed to be picked up for next year, but now? With covid costs? Seems even farther out of reach.

since it’s a day away, is there something u absolutely dont want to see happen on station 19? i don’t want a pregnancy plot or for marina to just be okay again but also, i know how the show is so im going in with no expectations

Oh, god, yes, don’t even put that into the universe. I don’t wanna see any pregnancy for at least a few more years. Otherwise…well, already did cheating, so hopefully no MORE of that. And obviously no death! Also please nobody get the bright idea to make Maya abusive to show that hurt people hurt or whatever. 

But yeah, like you said, who knows. I just wanna be able to continue to ship them, so anything that doesn’t destroy that, I’m fine with.

everyone in shondaland is badly written lol majority of the main characters have all done shitty things just like they’ve also done good things. also we all know that the list of characters who haven’t cheated is shorter than the list of characters who have.

Right, that is the impression I get. Especially about the second part, lol, for real. I try not to judge too hard, or at least not make my dislike about anything deeper than my own personal feelings. Everyone’ll get their turn sooner or later, you just hope they won’t do anything TOO bad or die.

I love that you don’t want to watch Bly and half of it but understand people that like it.Your reasons are understandable even if we don’t share it. I love that you include them in the recommendation someone ask you before.

Aw, thank you! I actually have this one KE answer I still need to ask that really made me think on how I can react negatively to media for a variety of reasons, one of those being simply that it might not have been what I wanted. Which, that’s no reason to mark it as Bad. 

I mean, if one wanted, they could still call out things they both did in a problematic sense, but that’d be every single thing in the world. There’s a whole spectrum, right, how bad it is, who it bothers, why it does. All I see is many wlw loving them, so why harsh on that. 😮

Interesting, Mostly super heroes. Did you shipped couples like luke/Lorelai, Nathan/Haley, Castle/Beckett?

Oh, not mostly superheros, I don’t even know most of them, I just remembered that I do actually love CW’s Westallen and that reminded me of the other very good superhero men I liked, and their ships. More and more, I have to really like the guy and he has to be completely besotted with the woman and then I’m in. 

For those ships, I didn’t really watch OTH, and I liked Caskett at the start but less so over time, partly because of Castle/Nathan Fillion, but that was also coinciding with my shifting to f/f so it’s just how it was. Ah, hmm, no, not really that into Luke/Lorelai either, I don’t hate them, I just didn’t really care much for any of Lorelai’s romances.
