Tags

I’m generally consistent with my tags, and this is how it works.

Writing: These are mostly reblogs (as I don’t think I’m really in the position to dish out advice to anybody); if you’re interested in writing, I’d definitely suggest you check them out. They are tagged as writing tips, writing advice and writing resources. Occasionally I reblog stuff I tag writing problems or writers problems, because life.

Languages: I’m a conference interpreter, so I’m a language nerd. You can find all language-related stuff under the tags langblr, linguistics and foreign languages. If it’s language-specific, you can search by the name of the language (russian). If the post is in a foreign language, it’s tagged in that language (deutsch), though I always try to translate. My current efforts to learn new languages are recorded in my side blog, which is called z-to-s (optimistically, ‘zero to simultaneous’).

Politics: Again, I went with no-nonsense tags. Political rants and reblogs are mostly tagged politics, us politics, uk politics, news or with the name of the country (italy). People are tagged with their name and surname (donald trump - though I’m now also tagging him as the dicktator). Specific political issues have their own tags (climate change, us elections 2016, refugees welcome).

Mythology: As some of you know, in a previous life I studied Classics and archaeology - my posts about those things are tagged according to their specific subject: greek mythology, latin, history, rome, folklore, loki and so on.

General fluffiness: I tend to be a the end is nigh person, but when I find something uplifting, I occasionally reblog it and tag it as good news, funny, cute alert, animals are so awesome or wholesome content .

Tumblr stuff: Asks are tagged as asks, question games as tumblr game, stuff you can go ahead and skip as discourse, negativity and tumblr problems.

Supernatural: I used to write metas and fics for the show. They’re tagged spn meta, and my writing - though you’ll find all of my fics on AO3 (awed_frog).

Other series: I tag them simply by name (torchwood) or nick (poi, yoi) and, when it applies, by character (jon snow).

And finally: for mysterious reasons, a few of my posts got really popular. I’m trying to go back and tag them (popular) so people can find them, but it doesn’t always work. If you’re looking for something specific or simply want to talk or ask me stuff, feel free to tag me, PM me or send me an ask! I’m always happy to chat.

Thanks for stopping by and happy scrolling!
