I've been thinking of the least stalkerish way of asking this but I've got nothing. So here goes anyway. You seem to interact with a lot of people here on tumblr. Who are some of your favorite people you follow/mutually follow? I've been looking for some new blogs to follow but I haven't had much luck. Also, what are some tips you can offer on befriending people here? It seems a bit intimidating tbh. Anonymous

Oh, I know that feel. Tumblr still intimidates me an awful lot, seriously. I have been fortunate to have truly fantastic followers that are fun to play with online.

I started on Tumblr when I got more involved in the Klaine fandom. I was starting to read fanfics and people kept mentioning Tumblr. So I eventually made my own. I looked for some of my favorite fic authors and started following them, and here and there some would follow me back. I would say the best way to befriend people is to reach out to them. Sure, there are those in the fandom who are not as approachable as others, but I think you will find that most of them are quite lovely. 

Some of the people I mutually follow that I absolutely adore:

idareu2bme - my best bestie

christopherpcolf - my baby girl

chazzam - my divine inspiration

yadivagirl - my goddess supreme

likechildreninafairytale - my angsty darling

mothergoddamn - my classic beauty

Cimmerians - my incredible idol

leeminkyo - my artistic honey sugar britches

hearteyesanderson - my cuddle bug

thaliana1981 - my hot piece ;)

lizzyourlife - my sweet pea

hammster - my snickerdoodle

reading-in-heels - my sweetie pie

ohmygodstopit - my smushyface love

andwakesimagination - my sweet thing

getwhatyouwantorjustgetold - my CONTROL freak *you know what I mean*

xxpandalawlsxx - my punkin

zavocado - my favorite playa ;D

I love each and every one of these ladies and the gentleman (and hopefully they will forgive my sappy descriptions of them…) and they all make my Tumblr experience a fun one on a daily basis. They are all lovely people that are fun and approachable. All are members of the Klaine fandom in some way, form or fashion, though you will also find the bonus additions of Supernatural, Star Wars, Disney, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Big Bang Theory, classic Hollywood, food porn, porny porn, and the occasional crackship, among other things. 

So, my advice? Look for people with some common interests and check them out. If you like what you see, follow them. Not every one follows back but don’t take that to heart, most are happy to answer messages and will chat easily. Lifelong friendships exist now that were created here on Tumblr between people who are continents apart, so there are few limitations. It takes time to gain followers sometimes. Not everyone will have the thousands that others seem to have. People will sometimes unfollow you. There will be times that you will unfollow others. BUT. The whole idea is to have fun, right? So, just jump in and take a look around. It isn’t always rainbows and fluff, but when you get down to it, Tumblr is a pretty fun and addictive experience! Good luck!
