#do I even have a happy tag for this blog

[golyadkin]

I cannot express enough that if your reaction, as a hobby artist, to not getting that many notes on your art is to say "maybe I should just stop doing art altogether" you need to stop posting art to tumblr

not necessarily forever, not even for long, but just stop putting your art on here and start doing it for you again, remember why you enjoyed doing art in the first place and stop relying on the attention of faceless people on the internet for your enjoyment of your hard work

believe me, I get it, nothing crushes the artistic soul quite like labouring for hours on a piece only for it to get like 10 notes, so you need to find your own source of joy in the act of creation and a lot of the time that means making art and not showing it to anybody

#not art #listen #for real #this is not about any one person because i've seen posts about it from a bunch of people #you think i post everything here? buddy i dont even post half my stuff here #every drawing you see is preceded by five more just like it #that never see my cursor close to the save button #i have a sketchbook i draw in regularly that i do'nt show to a single goddam person #i make cutout art from gels i steal from work and stick them to my windows and do paintings in my living room just for me #because that it the only way you are ever going to be able to retain your original love of art #is by doing it for the sake of doing it #not for the sake of seeing how many people stop and stare #anyways i'm sorry if this sounds terse #but i'm so sick of seeing artists put all their self-esteem and happiness in the hands of a blogging website #stop selling yourself short by measuring your self worth by how many reblogs you get and what people say in the tags #your artistry and your happiness are worth more than that #if you're an artist for a living that's another story #but even then #even then #anyways sorry i'm done ranting

dear everyone,

a while ago, i hit 1.5k followers on this blog.... i didn't want to get too sappy but i really wanted to write something, so:

the fact that over one and a half thousand individuals follow me is truly insane and too much for my little brain to grasp. i want you to know that i'm so extremely thankful for each and every single one of you and this makes me so so so happy. this is way more than i ever had expected when creating this blog.

i made this account back in june purely for my own enjoyment; i created it mainly because i was disappointed in myself for having stopped writing, since writing has been such a big part of my life since forever. ever since i stopped writing about kpop, i had barely written anything at all... i made this account just for fun with no pressure and no expectations, and before i knew it, this blog turned into something so special for me. the blog, all of the people i've met through it and all of the moments we've shared, all mean the world to me.

honestly, i'm not sure what i would do right now if i didn't have this blog and this community. these last few months have been pretty rough for me, but i've always been able to come back on here and gain a smile or some laughter. you've all helped me so much, even if unintentionally – every single interaction helps me push forward. i'm eternally grateful for every single like, comment, reblog and ask i've received on here, and your kind words really do mean the world to me. i don't know where i would be without you.

i hit 1k a while ago but didn't celebrate it properly, so i decided to make an 1k/1.5k-celly that i will be releasing soon (when i have more time to actually write)(hopefully at the start of december). please stay tuned!

and once again, from the bottom of my heart, thank you all so so so much. you truly are the best. 🧡🧡

#i never got near this much support on my old blogs (or wattpad accounts for that matter) #my most liked fic on my kpop blog had a little over 300 likes #and now my most liked fic here has over 3k notes #its all so insane to me #i'm so incredibly thankful for this community #i truly do not know how i would've stayed sane if i didnt have you all and this all #the support and sweet words i've been receiving is so so kind and i'm so so thankful #i read through every reblog & comment & ask i get and they make always me feel so warm #i get so giggly and kick my feet even at someone writing like “this was alright” in the tags of a reblog #i have a photo album saved for my fave tags & comments for when i feel down :((( gives me so much happiness #i love every person who's ever even shot a glance at my blog #hope everyone has a wonderful day 🤍🤍 #thank you again!!!! from the bottom of my heart

> Rose: Confess to Kanaya!

Rose: I love you.

Kanaya: Y Yo Ati, Rose.

> Rose: Get swallowed by something that looks like Venom.

> Rose: Get sent to super hell!

> Kanaya: Have something very gay and homophobic happen to you.

Kanaya: ...

What an absolute diversity loss. You find yourself thinking "love loses!"

#Okay this is my highest possible effort post so far; please spread it around like it's the flu or something #I put so many hours into this like actually lmao I surprised myself with how late I stayed up #going on a content hiatus soon so I suppose that fits that I put out a high effort destiel meme & scene recreation as a last hurrah #send in requests though; i'll get around to them when I get around to them! love to see what you folks come up with! #the sprite assets are up on my main but I'll reblog them here later; not sure if I'll have a tag system or not for it yet #new supernatural & homestuck memes format dropped along with a couple of spn AU designs & beyond canon too #yes I even included a shot of super mega turbo hell; it's got a little bit of everything as it should 🔥 #rosewheresheshouldntbe #kanaya maryam #rose lalonde #rosemary #homestuck #originals #hs rose #hs kanaya #spn #supernatural #destiel #dean winchester #castiel #please don't expect me to commit to the bit this hard every time because that's absolutely not realistic; I just got super into this 😂 #I can't believe I designed entire new outfits around rosemary just for the bit of doing this joke; just for this little side blog #the rose outfit is just an edited version of her hs beyond canon outfit; but still!

I just wanted to come home... I wanted to come home so bad.

#my edits #richard rider #nova #marvel #marvel comics #marveledit #comicedit #gotgedit #queenlance post #aaaand I don't think I'll tag any big blog #this is the first edit I do after my year long posting hiatus and instead of focusing on erasing backgrounds - something I'm good at - #I decided to do this. I went through my edits tag and like my first 3 or 4 posts had no text and then I did two with text and was very happy #with them. AND THEN every single one after it has me complaining ''why is choosing fonts so hard'' #I will do another Rich edit later (I even have some PNGS!) maybe when I'm finally on my break #ANYWAYS. I just have too many thoughts about Rich and the idea of coming home and this popped out unplanned out of nowhere

really do not agree with some of these takes from the vc fandom concerning the show only fanbase

#at this point y’all #some of it just seems mean spirited #like whyyyy does it matter SO MUCH to some of y’all that newcomers are show only? #why can you not just…be happy the fanbase is growing?? #and this is not directed at anyone in particular #I’m just… #i’m over the comments about the show only crowd. i really am. #why do you think they’re unable to grasp the complexity of what they’re watching #and yeah i have legit seen some blogs say this #even critizing them for reading the fanfics but not the books like…can we relax? #is iwtv a college level course with required reading now? lol like??? #the show is not the same as the books and it’s perfectly fine for people to engage with one and not the other… #having a different perspective bc you have read the books is absolutely fine but like #having knowledge from the books doesn’t mean that your interpretations and opinions concerning the show are more valid or superior #i have had three more anons in my inbox talking about this and it’s starting to drain me #let! people! enjoy! the show! without requiring some in depth meta knowledge from the book #okay…tag rant over <3 #iwtv #vampire chronicles

When did the latest 1,000 of you follow me??? good lord hi and welcome, I should maybe pay attention to my notifications and activity page more 😭

#I’m not sure if you showed up about fanfiction or from one of my brief hyperfixations or from the cult post or from Star Trek or batfam #but hi welcome hello! #it’s just this! it’s just this. all the time. I bounce interests and recycle old ones #and share way too much personal life on this blog #especially in post tags #and i really love talking with people but most of the time my brain treats messages and asks and emails and texts #as if they are a deadly danger #so I WILL take up to 7 years to respond #but please know it haunts me every day #and I will get to it eventually #even if it’s long after you unfollowed me potentially #anyway. in this house we stan fairness and authenticity and compassion towards both others and self #and we are a pro skepticism and pro sourced-information and pro scientific research around here #AND obsessed with experiencing existence through the realm of story #I hope you enjoy your time here! you can always stick around and I’m happy to see you #but absolutely unfollow me at any time! curate your online experience! it should be good for you #when I or my blog no longer spark joy #please unfollow. I literally do not care. your experience is supposed to be nice for you #take what serves you and leave the rest. #this is just tumblr. you have a whole life #I’ll never be mad #👍 #2024 #this is a lot of followers. like not five digits a lot but INCOMPREHENSIBLE numbers to ME regardless lol #thanks for following whatever your reason was

Everyone, if i'm not writing much just know it's just to spite this anon, heh. it's all their fault 😤 nonnie needs a timeout

#did i say anything about my interactions? no. i'm very happy with where my blog is at #i just said i've noticed tumblr being dead as a whole #if i need to dumb it down for you even more #im wondering why my mutuals aren't screaming the dash about their favorite blurbos #and if people are doing alright in general bc the tags are super dry these days #if you're banking on me to pump out content as if i don't have a life outside of tumblr #you need to go find another blog that can do that for you because your demanding attitude isn't welcomed here #☏voicemail. #anon.

Here is a screenshot of my heavily modded ship in Starbound!! I've been working on it for a couple days now and I really like how it's turned out :3 I still have the cockpit to make pretty, but I have no idea what I want to do with it.

Most of the furniture is from "WW Furniture" (Steam Workshop link)!! I've installed too many mods to list, but if there's anything in particular you're curious about I can absolutely get the mod pages for you!!

#the nameplate signs are animated so the letters bob up and down :3 #the main/front room of the ship is just storage so its fine it doesnt fit in the screenshot. #i am playing as a custom race (the 'familiars' race i think) but im pretty sure the ship is just the human ship. #you can see my little character under the neon FOOD sign :3 #even though my wife doesnt play starbound i still made her a room on my ship because i love her very much!!!!! #i might do some little adjustments n stuff but im happy with how it looks :3 #OH OH ALSO the bi flag is 2 custom signs!! #ive been playing starbound since before the full release and ive only gotten into mods like. last week. i am having a blast :3 #batty blogging #text #image #starbound #idk the starbound tags

how does it help tumblr users if ppl w/ no followers rb? /gen

We don’t have any kind of promoting algorithm here, so it’s not like reblogs suddenly will make our post explode in views or interaction or anything. I feel like new people might think we’re just fishing for exposure when we ask that.

Truth is, reblogs just are the only way of knowing people enjoyed something. Reading people’s tags on our fics and posts is the fun part of creating.

I recommend people to reblog even if they have no followers because it makes the creators really really happy. That’s all.

Creators really do get the shit end of the stick here. If we dont do very specific things we won’t even show up in tags. If we don’t have some luck, tumblr will just decide to not show our posts. People liking a post doesn’t do anything. I only ever see it as a measure of how many people saw something, not actually enjoyed it. ♡♡

#like on tiktok I think you like a bunch of stuff and the algorithm will #start showing you stuff you wanna see? doesn’t happen here #all we have is the tags and reblogs #ofc if you do have followers and reblog things it helps them get seen #which is amazing and I know most creators are so happy and grateful #but even other blogs just reblogging w/o followers is honestly #so much better than just getting a Like #honey mail

Hay, do y'all have any tips for when one notices they prioritizes personal shit/fandom/social media over important stuff like schoolwork or bedtimes during the school week? You know, so that they will do the schoolwork now and, when they have free time, that is when they work on personal projects? Just asking for a friend, hehe...

#The friend is me #key's post #I don't know what else to tag this #Hmmmm... #halp #<- (*＾-‘) 乃 #I have a terrible habit of just scrolling through Youtube or Tumblr #instead of doing work #Personal or school related #There is a reason I still haven't released my Rimworld comic despite promising it since late last year #Watching videos or reading posts turn my brain into happy mush #and even when I'm like 'I WILL do work today' #the 'One more video please...' mindset makes me waste my day away #I got work to do #I'll be surprised if I manage to focus on it instead of scrolling trough Tumblr blogs

#making another nonsense post (it's my blog; i'll do what i want) #(but i'm at least keeping this confined to the tags. you're welcome) #i just think. there's a joke to be made #about yuu being hikaru and yuna's daughter #(irt the similarities between the three of them -- #she's an ungulate; extremely loyal and bloodies her hands blindly for another girl; just like hikaru #extremely off-putting with a very similar horn to yuna's #and her color palette isn't yellow anymore but her original sprite's was) #she and hikaru even have similar hair colors #i just don't know if i'm strong enough to make that joke. but it's a very funny thought (to me) #i call her an ungulate because i know she's an equine like hikaru. but i'm starting to become infected with the giraffe!yuu virus #that's all of my disjointed rambling for tonight #oh; happy werewolf wednesday

blog that makes me happy vs nobody will ever take me seriously here as long as I post the way I do

#mousetalk #im aware that a lot of my biggest interests are for children. thats why this main blog looks like a seven year old designed everything #im also aware of how silly i tend to look to anybody who isnt myself. 'adult who likes things for children“ isnt really something you Want #to be known as because this makes you look stupid to folks who do not have or understand the childish stuff #which is pretty understandable. i do look silly taking cartoon dogs seriously and being converned over toy rabbits feelings and whatnot #im not so oblivous as to pretend that i dont lol #i just wish i could enjoy these things and still be taken seriously! im not angry at people for deciding they wont or deciding they dont #like me or deciding im some sort of strange freak who will never grow up. its valid when you consider the everything else about me. #just wish it didnt have to mean that any and all footholds i have in adult spaces werent null and void you know #itd be nice if the two things could coexist. #im really only rambling in the tags like this because having this childish blog as my main ends with me being blocked a Lot #which again! im not mad about! people can choose to interact with who they like and form whatever opinions they want #im just a little sad is all. i have plenty of (mature even!) interests outside of things like stickers or stuffed animals but i cant really #interact with these things here without somebody inevitably looking my way and going oh. another immature person. goodbye #or just assuming that im a child trying to wiggle my way into adult spaces by claiming i am one. according to 1 ask i recieved a while back #i dont know. this really isnt much of a complaint is it. 'people dont take my stuffed animals seriously' is about as stupid of a problem as #it gets haha #maybe someday ill suck it up and rebrand and stop talking about baby animals on my main blog #so i could finally follow a blog for something like a horror game franchise without being blocked on sight #or greeted reluctantly and with an eyeroll haha #TLDR; if this blog stops being happy funtimes it is nobodys fault but my own for being spineless about my own interests lol #i doubt anybody is reading this wall of text (hello if you are) but dont take anything i said in here personally #enjoy what you want to enjoy. dont let me or anybody else dictate that when your life on earth is so short #this is more just me with my own trivial issues that dont matter in the grand scheme of things #okay goodnight everybody thats it for the time being

yOU ALL IM LAUGHING SO HARD

The archive is still there too, and all those fans who created works in the past still deserve some attention too, so please check out the archive if you haven't in a while and if you're also missing Tsuritama!!

Also, if you're interested, please check out my YukiHaru A.M.V \o/ (Made a few years back for YukiHarus shared birthdays specifically!)

{All I did was reblog some old gifs I missed to keep blog active, but I'm glad if people still appreciate this blog existing!!!}

(I may also have another A.M.V. or two planned for future years, if I can finish them in decent time!)
