the do's and don'ts of tagging maribat content
if any of you follow me, you've probably seen that I just had a back-and-forth argument with a maribat anti whose primary reasons for attacking our fandom was that we weren't tagging properly.
blocking the maribat tag is useless if people tag their maribat works with tags used for solely dc or mlb works, because they'll show up anyway when people browse those other tags.
because of this, I've decided to write up the do's and don'ts of tagging maribat content on tumblr.
do:
- tag the crossover. maribat, mlb x dc, or any variation thereof, is perfectly okay, and it'll help more maribat readers find your fic!
- tag maribat ships. daminette, timari, jasonette, and any other ship with one or more characters from both miraculous AND dc should be tagged for easier navigation.
do not:
- tag the individual fandoms. this means no miraculous ladybug, dc, batman, young justice, etc. that way, it won't show up in those tags and people who dislike maribat can keep going about their day without a reason to get angry.
- tag the characters. this means no marinette dupain cheng, damian wayne, tim drake, adrien agreste, etc. and any variation of their hero/vigilante personas, because again, that means your work won't show up in the individual fandom tags.
- tag anything belonging to the individual fandoms*, like class salt, lila salt, alya salt, etc. if you really want to tag that your work contains a specific type of content, use 'maribat' before it (ex. maribat class salt).
and finally, all of you content creators are amazing and you make the maribat fandom a better place to be in! keep it up! :D
*note that this does not apply to trigger warnings - tag those as deemed necessary.
