#I do like how different they are in 2012

[seagull-scribbles]

A day after valentine's, but here's a simp

#TMNT #TMNT 2012 #donatello #it’s technically been a year since I drew Donnie #and while I preface rise 2012 holds a special place in my heart #also rob paulsen my beloved #anyway I’ve been listening to 2012 since I finished rise and I’m nearly finished s2 #I’m a bit annoyed Donnie’s main characteristic is lovesick puppy #but like I guess my aro/ace ass was just really spoiled with the sonic franchise #anyway as much as I adore the different species concept #I do like how different they are in 2012 #with raph being small and dark and Donnie is so lanky looking and toll #he is a little sweetheart but rise Donnie would eat him alive he’s a maniac #but yeah as always I’ve left mikey till last I’ll have to do a quick 2012 mikey to complete the set #I spent like a week on Leo and raph this was only super quick so apologies for the drop in quality #I did play around with some human characters but boy do I suck at them #I did 6 exams today it was terrible so if you want to know how I’m doing that’s where I am at #and I was going to doodle yakko cause Friday but yeah rob paulsen it all still counts

#I love this exchange so much specifically because it tells us a lot about how the translator microbes work. I mean. I highly doubt that – at #least at this point – john has ever discussed woodies with Aeryn. #But I can quite easily imagine that he’s at one point looked at some alien thing shuddered and gone ‘ugh. Gives me the willies.’ #And since aeryn’s translator microbes picked that up and returned it with woody we can kind of see how they work. #It’s taken willie – a colloquial term for penis – and substituted it with another colloquial term for penis – woody. #The problem is that these terms both have connotations that the microbes don’t pick up on #hence the incorrect substitution. #However they do seem to do okay with homophones #presumably based on context. #It’s like how back in like 2012 if you typed a word into google translate that didn’t translate well #it would give you it’s best guess #and then if you translated it back it would just have a completely different meaning. Essentially translator microbes work probably as well #farscape #aeryn sun #claudia black #syfysource #cinematv #filmtvcentral #chewieblog #smallscreensource #usercreate #userthing #farscapeedit #john crichton #ben browder #farscape gifs #my gifs #claudia black gifs #dailytvwomen #popcultureds

Man I love POTO a lot !!!!

#😭😭😭😭 #i have such brainrot about the opera house setting. ever since 2012 #i've planned 2 previous longfics with that as a setting (for diff fandoms) and now i want to do a reworked one for todolf #the problem is i am NOT convinced the amount of effort needed would be proportionate to how many ppl will read it #but maybe i have to do that anyway... also my lesbian rudolf x stephanie fic which will be read by even less ppl 😂 #and its always like. with aus like this they might as well be original fiction. except my ideas for Theme make it imperative that it's crown #prince rudolf fanfiction... because the point of the au is to comment on how it would work if [habsburg empire replaced by ballet company] #or [rudolf secretly a lesbian] 😭🤣 that latter is also self indulgent #i mean both are in different ways lmao #but um yeah

liberals when someone from west germany has a nuanced view of the gdr: how dare you romanticize this brutal dictatorship!! go listen to someone from east germany who actually lived through this horrible authoritarian regime!!!

liberals when two thirds of east germans actually feel nostalgic towards the gdr and one fourth of east germans feel like their life got worse after the fall of the berlin wall: those backwards east germans are still brainwashed into authoritarianism, we should just rebuild the wall if they like it so much, they were simply not made for democratic participation

#pol #sorry for formatting this like a shitpost from 2012 #obligatory disclaimer i do not think the gdr was a socialist utopia blah blah #but i recently read an article about how academic discussion about the gdr is still primary held from a west german perspective and #perspectives from east germans can only gain traction if they support the leading west german view otherwise they get #dismissed as brainwashed while west germans who view the gdr with nuance get written of for not having #lived experience #and i think we should be able to discuss the progress made in the gdr ie re: womens rights and combatting homelessness without being #accused of turning a blind eye to its flaws if we don't stress how absolutely horrible terrible bad it was there and how lucky we are #that we live in a free democratic good enlightened country nowadays every 2 seconds #anyways shout out to that guy who got asked if he wouldn't criticize the gdr for not allowing its citizens to travel wherever they wanted #and responded with if you're poor in germany nowadays you also can't travel wherever you want so what's the difference

Hi! Genuinely curious. I know a lot of artists don’t like qrts on Twitter because they remove engagement from the original post, but on tumblr, the engagement stays with the original poster, so I’m curious why you don’t want comments on reblogs. Is the engagement thing why you don’t like comments on your art, or is there a different reason?

hi! so im going to write this post with the assumption some people who read it may be unfamiliar with tumblr so pls excuse me if im explaining things you personally already know/is considered common sense/etc... i am also unsure which parts i should consider common knowledge/how far to explain so please forgive me if i overexplain a bit!

so on tumblr, comments on art do not affect engagement, but it is still commonly held etiquette not to add comments directly onto reblogs of art.

the reason for this is that when you add a comment directly onto a reblog (ie, not in tags nor the reply function) is that the comment becomes permanently affixed to that version of the post. it becomes a secondary caption, basically; it is not the same as a reply on twitter or a comment on insta. if the reblog with the comment is reblogged by someone else, that comment will remain and can continue to be shared, even if the commenter were to later delete the post. you now then, effectively, have a new version of the post that has additions to it.

this has become somewhat more of an issue lately, as tumblr recently updated to remove the ability to go to where somebody reblogged a post from. which is to say, if somebody encountered a post that has a lot of additive comments on it, but wanted to reblog the original/a version with less or different comments, they can no longer do so unless they scavenged someones blog for the post manually.

generally speaking, many artists prefer no direct additions be made to their posts (although sometimes people add image descriptor IDs, which i dont mind people doing) so that only the original iteration exists and can be reblogged, without anything extra added onto it that isn't meant to be there. the reply function (looks like a chat bubble at the bottom of a post) is a newer addition, but most people still prefer to add thoughts/commentary in tags -- since reblog tags only serve an organizational purpose within someones own blog/exist to help filter content warnings, it is very commonly used to add comments, since that will stay within someone's specific reblog and will not affect or change a post. original posters are still notified of every reblog and their tags (and i really like to go through and read/reread tags), so any commentary can still be appreciated and seen even without having to attach it to a post directly

tl;dr: id just prefer my art posts to be able to stand alone and be able to be shared that way w/out extra comments/a comment chain on them

i hope this helps answer the question...!

#umbrvx.ask #ofc different ppl are different too... idk if there r ppl who dont care abt additive reblogs but #in my experience using tumblr since like 2012 ik this has been the generally held etiquette...! afaik at least #anyways im sorry if i am overexplaining #ik quite a few new ppl are joining so i didnt know how much to consider common sense or not #also i hope it doesnt seem like i am making a big thing of it i dislike telling ppl what to do... #but ive been seeing it happen a bit more lately n thought itd just be worth at least trying to say something rather than hope ppl just know

folks i have put in the legwork to try to understand the jgy apologist side of the fandom since that seems to be So Many People... I thought that maybe the tv show elevated his crimes to make it a more black and white villain situation but then I read what he does in the novels and it is WAY WORSE... i literally feel like it's 2012 and people are writing loki-style apologism for "his childhood was very sad (extremely true it was horrible) and that's why the crimes are okay (the crimes are so so many murders and SA because his feelings and desires are more important than People's Lives)"

#like it is truly SO SO SO MUCH murder and SA and betrayal. SO MUCH of that. like hes. squarely evil. am i MISSING SOMETHING #like the way he kills/SAs his admittedly horrible father ALONE would put him squarely in. This Guy Is Genuinely Evil territory #i literally feel like there has to be information i am missing because that alone (and then having the 25 sex workers killed immediately) #puts him in like?? This Is A Vicious Villain territory to me??? but it doesn't seem like people like him for Hes A Villain... it feels like #EXTREMELY loki 2012 did nothing wrong vibes. loki was 100% trying to do a genocide in the first thor movie #i dont CAAAre how sad his backstory is. it is genuinely tragic and also he doesn't get to murder whoever he feels like because of it #i literally am doing the legwork to try to figure out wtf people are talking about but I feel like every single argument I can trump with #playing the he orchestrates Mass Murder/SA card?????????? #plus like. hes been killing people he doesn't like From The Beginning #that guard who was tormenting him was terrible. and yet he DOES murder him in cold blood and try to frame a different mass murderer for it #IDK i just feel like IM the crazy one here because theres SO many fans of his and I just do not get it AT ALL #i DO love villains I get it!! but that is not the flavor of discourse ive seen about this guy. ANYWAYYYYYY

I know I'm like. Deeply sleep deprived. But I wasn't expecting Jenny Nicholson's video essay on the final brony con to make me tear up, especially since I was never a brony and only had negative impressions of the fandom, but here we are.

#YES brony's were cringy and mean a lot of the time but that video really is a time capsule to the death of fandom #like fandom is so drastically different now than it was in 2011/2012 we're so disconnected now #when in ye olden days you were mainly in a fandom to make friends #and there was so much fanwork and everyone excitedly interacting with those fanworks #and nowadays you're lucky to get 7 comments on ao3 on your fics and 30 reblogs of your fanart on tumblr #everyone used to be so passionate and excited to share their interests and make friends where now it's like. reblogging gifs to your blog #but not engaging with the creator or the other fans #fandom is quietly isolating in a way it never used to be #and that's really sad #it's why i don't really interact with fandom these days because it's boring and not as fun #it feels like less of a community these days and fandom simply isn't as fun if you're not sharing it #maybe it has to do with the rise of seeing passionate interests as cringy or it has to do with how much content we get on streaming service #maybe it has to do with seeing writers and fanartists as being content creators instead of community members #so you don't engage because you think that they should just churn out product without you investing in it #it's hard to know #but i miss the excitement and love and sense of community that used to exist in fandom #and sure it still exists in some fandoms #but most of them are so solitary #i just miss it #oscar talks to himself

absolute cosmic irony that I was such a shithead about ace and NB people a decade ago when those are 2 things I now consider myself to be in some capacity. the gods rlly were like they think they’re so funny well we’re about to be hilarious

#personal #erika's blog and bar #does it count as internalized phobia. when I think back on it it doesn’t feel that way but idk #I’d be interested in trawling my archives and seeing where my head was at and if I can figure out where tf it came from #bc back then I was like well I’m ace but also lesbian so it’s different than being cishet ace #like it wasnt full ace exclusion it was just. cishet exclusion #which I don’t believe in now but it’s part of why I’m like is this internalized??? #tbh I think I probably got influenced by like crypto TERF rhetoric #idk I just remember one day I was like wait a second actually yeah who cares if they’re cishet other cishets think they’re weird #and it felt like waking up from something. I’m sure this was the product of pushback from the broader Ace community #but I don’t remember. I just rmemeber having a realization one day of how shitty I was being #with NB people I don’t remember a lot I just kinda remember like. being annoyed with the gender discourse of 2012-2014 #like w ppl being like my gender is plant or galaxy or whatever #which in retrospect I’m p sure a lot of those people might’ve been trolls #but even if they were sincere it’s like okay whatever do you #I think a lot of my shittiness was stoked by annoyance at how brain rotted and toxic the SJ discourse could be back then #like if you look at what Twitter is now it was basically like that #just absolutely wretched and toxic environment that contributed to a lot of ppl being radicalized I think #and a lot of bad faith actors looking to take advantage of ignorant kids who got screamed at or mocked in that environment #for asking questions and trying to learn and not already knowing the correct terms and whatnot #like I do still firmly believe that a lot of leftist spaces create their own far right adversaries simply by treating #open minded ignorance like it’s the same thing as deliberate bigotry and malice

loving russell in a mlm way really hits different

#and of COURSE i will elaborate in the tags like i always do when i want to ramble but not think about formatting #but i have liked this man since 2012/2013 which was my Shittest Year #and then late 2013 i have started... thinking about my gender #and then i've had a couple big resurgences #but this is my first Back On My Bullshit since i started testosterone almost four years ago #and i have gotten comfortable with myself #and sexually active etc etc #and now that i am Back On My Bullshit i realize how different (but also the same) my attraction is #there are a lot of Gender Feelings and i still really cling to him in an almost mentor type of role because guess what?? i need that lol #but i also love him and his masculinity also in a whole different way now :) #and some of it is very sexy and some of it just very comforting #...... i analyze myself even more than i analyze people i care about #i just like to think about people and how our brains and behaviour works #even if i am wrong sometimes #or just sketching out ideas

I want you to tell ‘em that you love the way that they don’t stick out like sore middle fingers

[Continuation of this]

#TMNT 2012 #casey jones 2012 #raphael hamato #rasey #this is platonic again but I’m not against romantic subtext or whatever #when I was in school being able to do this with your hand was super cool and I often still do it with both #but I’ve met both adults and kids who’ve never seen it before and it freaks them out ahaha #anyway I was jus thinking of hands again and this is a warm up sketch #but i do think thee two would have heart to hearts on rooftops sometimes and really open up #maybe theyre sat next to eachother and raph looks at his thigh next to Casey’s and gets self conscious #maybe one of them was hurt in a fight (probably Casey) and theyre patching eachother up and they just start exploring their differences #or maybe its something as simple as raph asking casey if he was Tarzan and the scene with the hands and Casey’s like yo we can do that #or even more childish theyre just doing it to see who’s hands bigger because Casey’s sister has been doing it a lot and its fun #because let me tell you it doesnt matter how old the kids i work with are they all love comparing my hand with theirs #but i imagine Raphs eyes for a second would give away hes upset a little cause he’s definitely the most self conscience about being a mutant #so Casey would do this and be like ahh look see we arent that different really #raph could bend his fingers to emphasise how much shorter Casey’s are #and cause would say something like these digits might be small but theyre mighty #leading to a shove or even a thumb war or something #anyway ill stop gushing i have a comission to do xxx #OH OH OH THE BITE MARK ON CASEY IS BECAUSE A MUTUAL COMMENTS ABOUT EATING MY RASEY ART SO THATS THEIR TEETH but im not naming names....

tumblr peaked with superwholock (dont kill me)

#ok but honestly i feel so old #im trying to get back into this hellsite and i just dont know how im CONFUSED #my first blog was a naruto one in like 2008? 9? #and then any soft feelings i had for anime in general was crushed but i stuck around (ish) #then superwholock grabbed me by the balls from like 2012-2015??? #the end of it coincides with graduating secondary school so i think i left to focus on a levels or some shit #but now?? tumblr is??? so different and weird and idk what im DOING anymoer #i went and looked for xkit hoping it still existed #and it does but its so DIFFERENT i read through all the things it does now and i got SO OVERWHELMED #.... i am twenty fucking five why am i so confused #is it because i keep expecting everything to be like it was years ago? #probably

in one of the 2022 shows gerard said that like everything used to be so white-knuckled. in comparison to now where theyre having more fun. and my sample size is small ive only seen the 2011 reading show and now 2007 rock am ring but yeah i can kinda see what they meant

#kinda same feeling as when you watch 13 #like girl /breathe/ #i like both #i really love the 2022 shows #but these old ones are also So good #just #very different vibe #i think if mcr hadnt come back i wouldnt have felt like i got my gender now #i mean i definitely wouldnt have bc i wouldnt have KNOWN them #but also i just saw circa 2010 gerard way i wouldnt have felt this much like hope #like the 15 year difference is kinda what makes me feel like oh i CAN do this #if i just saw circa 2010 gerard way i would have felt like wish i could do that #but with 2022 gerard way next to it i feel like oh i COULD #idk why #maybe part of it is seeing someone just like. live all that #it's like time travel #like i get to see immediately how it turned out #also added to that is that i still feel like it's not right that 2012 was a decade ago #so when looking at 2022 i really do feel like im looking at the future #and standing in 2012 #bc im still 14

i just realized that since i actually deliberately AVOID cartoon fandoms most of the time, having a cartoon blog on the fandom website probably isnt a good idea

#my enjoyment of cartoons tends to be like #disconnected from the concept of fandom? #like i dont want to get into headcanons or fic or anything #i want to discuss the media as it exists #and i want to pick it apart and criticize it #and in the case of the turtle franchise #i have been having so much fun comparing each version as i watch them #and seeing which version did what better #what changes between them #how different each take on the story is #from what ive seen theres a lot of hostility between fans of different versions though? #which has me kinda worried that if i post praise for the 1990 movie and criticism of the 2012 cartoon in the same day #ill be accused of talking shit and trying to make people feel bad for liking the 2012 on or something #but yeah with every cartoon i like (not just turtles) #it’s been a lot of me rambling on discord to my partners about like #the writing the animation the voice acting etc etc #occasionally if im especially attached to some characters ill do some silly headcanons #my enjoyment of cartoons is usually very isolated though #it’s kinda like my pony doll collection? #idk how to explain what that means but #i collect information about cartoons the same way i collect pony dolls #instead of it being like. transformative

I finally finished Sandstorm B and I think those two might be my new favourite Night Vale episodes (however I am not very far but still), and hands down the funniest part is Kevin arriving in Night Vale all "oh? What is this strange new world I have discovered?" meanwhile Cecil is over in the Desert Bluffs studio like "what the fuck what the fuck what the fuck what the FUCK"

#(not me writing an entirely different post in these tags) #Kevin is kinda a funky guy it sucks that he's stuck in Desert Bluffs #That town sounds like literal hell. Ther is definitely something deeply wrong there #The immediate visceral disgust I felt at the part about the baseball team having to do the spreadsheets #I am The Sports Friend inescapably and like that was what made me realize how fucked up Desert Bluffs is #That shook me to my core. The removal of childhood and play and replacement with corporate productivity is probably the scariest concept #That this show could ever face me with. like I don't even play baseball #That probably wasn't even this scary back in 2012 but we're living in a late stage capitalist society #and it's only a matter of time at this point #welcome to night vale #desert bluffs #curio chatter

Bored at work so the demons are finding me

#girlbob.txt #both the customers and my thoughts #thought for a bit about how methodical the process of killing nuance is on this site #example: the way talking about how eldest sisters are used by their parents as secondary parents #and how that went into this weird sibling position dynamic #that then morphed into 'eldest daughters have a victim complex for no reason and are weird' #or to bring up Ancient Drama #do yall remember in like #2012-2014 when the conversation around gay bars went from #'gay bars arent accessible to everyone so itd be good to create other spaces to provide different experiences' #to 'gay bars are evil disgusting and bad and should be destroyed and removed with something that has no sex (sex is bad) and nothing i hate #and then there was a counter movement to that mocking gay cafe ideas and stuff #that shit was wild
