on cleaning out & keeping stuff
Dec. 10th, 2018 08:46 pmOne of the things with my Tumblr, is that a lot of the things I never really intended to "keep". Silly memes, whining about writing, gpoy-reblogs with "oh look too much to do"? Yeah, whatever, let it goooo~
Other things are, essentially, online copies of things I have. Rose of Versailles, Utena and CLAMP art? I've got the artbooks, the anime, the manga, it's all safe and sound as physical copies (unless this place burns down, wah). I don't feel a huge need to save even the fanart, because it's the original works that really matter to me.
But. Some smaller fandoms - everything Sparkles, for instance! - or stuff like Les Misérables meta and long reblog chain discussions... if that's gone, it's gone. And it may not matter to more than 13 people in the world (or in some cases, to 1, namely me) but it does matter. I don't want to see it all gone, but nor do I want to save a huge clumsy copy with Unique and Lolspam and Yeah, I've Got That Elsewhere in a big mess. So still holding out and hoping I manage to backup during this week :/
