#fuck off 2015 . what

[venacoeurva]

Having an OC that was shipped or otherwise heavily interacted with with an ex-friend/friend who you don't talk to anymore but it's not bitter's OC is a weird emotional trip to get through, and also makes it hard to move on from even if you got over the end of the friendship, but it's also kind of funny to be like "well I wanna do more things with you as a character. DIVORCE"

#I thanos snapped the existence of his oc out of my main ocs story and made it about two of the other people #no more love triangle we just have these two gay fucks beefing and being on and off for all of eternity #vena vents #not art #also all my vampire ocs from that one world.... #gotta dust em off #I've been staring at so many ocs since like 2015 like well what do I do with you now

the many years of firestars, the many years of progress.

#warriors #warrior cats #warrior cats fanart #firestar #my art #sketch #every design was drawn in my art style at the time #with some liberties taken ofc so the anatomy is better for the really old ones #i'm actually pretty fond of my mid 2017 art style. might have to use it again just for funsies #but godddd what the FUCK is up with the early 2015 design #WHY did i do that #it's so fucking ugly #i think it doesn't help that i replicated the style pretty badly #but i'm not redrawing it #it's so so uglyyyy #babygirl what happened to you. why do you look like that #also 2014 is so dull and boring i don't like it #granted the colors are probably off because i didn't have the original drawing with the flat colors #and that was in my gimp era when i made obnoxious backgrounds and used obnoxious filters #so the colors were totally fucked #i just made a guess #my 2013 designs were top tier tho #which is EXACTLY why i referenced them for my newest design #also these are not size accurate lmaooo #i promise he's not bigger in his newest design #i just accidentally drew him a lil bigger there

the past couple days i have been putting so much work into a little lore puzzle-ish thing only to now remember that like 3 people will see it because nobody looks at desktop themes anymore

#trousled rambles #i think. i will be turning off the default mobile theme option 😊 #will it likely make the thing a little bit miserable for mobile users because this specific theme is Extremely catered to a desktop? yeah #but. well maybe that is a necessary evil for fucking with html and searching the ends of the earth for workarounds where it's outdated #everything always caters to mobile users nowadays anyway yall can get on a laptop !!!!!!!! #its a theme from 2015 btw. in case you were wondering what kind of hell i put myself in #but i have looked for alternatives so many times and everything else is even WORSEEE #the only music player i could find capable of more than 1 song was so out of theme it was genuinely too jarring to keep #i tried the good old scm music player and it didnt even WORRRRKKK #i respect ppl who have neocities n stuff so much bc i think any more than this very basic code editing i'm doing would kill me dead

Ok.

Older Adrien would have a k-pop idol inspired haircut YOU CANNOT CHANGE MY MIND

#Miraculous ladybug #Miraculous ladybug and Chat noir #listen the show is still taking place in 2015 #And Adrien's bday is in the beginning of the school year which was 2014 where he turned 14 #Therefore he was born in 2000 #Same year as ME #And what are many people around my age obsessed with??? KPOP #ALSO HE WOULD ROCK THEIR HAIR STYLE AND LOOK LIKE A PRINCE FROM A WEBTOON COMIC #fuck off with the whole looooong rapunzel hair that makes him look like some random ass character I don't recognise #IN FACT HIS HAIR GETS SHORTER #I scream as I don't draw this yet #I should absolutely draw it

pros of being a bastard: getting to be gay

#I wanted to draw something tender and this happened #shea and aerin are actually au versions of ocs I’ve had for like 10 years #I’ve had an asoiaf au off and on for them since I first read the books in 2015 but this current version is the most developed #no matter what they always end up together. I made them at a time when I needed to believe in happy endings and I’ll stick by that #ik twoiaf is fucked up and dark but it was MY escapist fantasy as a teen and I cannot change that only embrace it #I could ramble about these two for hours #they r my specialest little guys #queerness in the au is a little different than canon #bc there’s been more targaryens there’ve been targs who’ve been gay + played with gender more openly #and got away with it by being targaryens/having dragons #so for the targs/anyone of valyrian descent being queer is kind of seen as like. ok. whatever #especially for people like aerin who’s a bastard so if anything him being queer is a bonus #asoiaf au #asoiaf oc #shea reed #aerin storm #my art #digital art #illustration #procreate #artists on tumblr

maybe i missed it but Kiriona definitely took off her pants when Pal/Camilla ascended to Lyctorhood 2.0, and i don't remember her ever putting them back on? I'm assuming she went for the pants because she didn't want to take off her top and expose her speedholes, but, did Gideon spend the rest of the book in just her fancy jacket and boxers? this is incredibly funny and also i love her.

#literally what other underwear would gideon ever wear but when it said she had shorts on underneath i nearly cried #tamsyn muir rlly said butch rights #ntn spoilers #kiriona #tlt thoughts #trb.txt #like she might have put on pants off screen. that would be fine #but imagining her doing everything she does in the rest of the book in only her boxers is incredibly funny #wild how a book abt goth amish space lesbians made me feel 1000000x more comfortable publically IDing as butch #than literally any of the gender/sexuality/identity theory i have read over the past 10+ years #like ive always been butch literally have never been able to hide that #but like the part about feeling like I can claim it publically yknow #also i was a teen on tumblr in 2015 so like that fucked up my ideas abt what i could be for a while #anyway. gotta stop this personal rambling before i have to be taken out back and you know #nona spoilers

[sege-h]

Alright I need to talk about this because its been on and off pissing me off for months since I first saw it, and I've seen it crop up here and there more since.

Some recent events have made me think about it again.

And the recent realizations of people like me that had never heard of a certain queer video essayist thief and how much what he's spewed has been parroted by young queers on here has made me think about it AGAIN.

Though hes not the source of this particular take. I don't know who is.

This take being "twink gets used in the porn industry, so if you use twink to refer to a character whos a minor, youre a bad person that's sexualizing that character"

I've mostly seen this take in the Sonic fandom, but then again its the fandom i orbit around the most often so I don't doubt it's made it's way to other fandoms.

I don't know where it's come from. But the fact that seeing people yell about it reminds me so much of how people in fandoms would yell 'you cant call that character ace/bi/pan! It implies theyve had sexual experiences, youre sexualizing minors!' circa 2015 isnt a good sign

That it kinda reminds me of the whole still ongoing "queer is a slur" bullshit isn't good either

And that there's now a dumb take like this that tries to go after a word gay men use specifically, after it rose in popularity, is both very concerning to me, and it pisses me off

"Twink gets used in the porn industry!"

So has literally every queer word we have.

So have plenty of words that are descriptors, because thats what twink is! A descriptor! Or are we gonna start claiming fat is a sexual term too(which some people have but yknow lmao)? Or skinny? White? Black? Blonde? Brunette??

Twink, by it's definition, means a skinny gay boy. That's it. It doesn't say anything sexual about them.

And the reason im getting pissed is that once again young queer folks are spreading views that are evangelical sounding af, but theyre not seeing that. Because they saw someone on the internet say 'actually this word is bad and if you call a character whos a minor it youre sexualizing them' and have decided to parrot it without an ounce of critical thinking

If you're wondering what the fuck im on about, ask yourself this;

Why do you find yourself outraged and ready to accuse someone of sexualizing a minor if they say "Sonic is a twink" but not if they say "Sonic is a skinny straight boy"?

(Yes yes 'actually im outraged someone would call Sonic straight' there I made the joke for you)

If youre about to go "well because twink is a porn term!" I refer you back to the fact that all queer words have been used in porn, as have many other words that are descriptors

Twink means 'skinny gay boy'. 'Skinny' and 'gay' have also been used in porn. So has 'straight'.

So again, I'll ask why a character being called a twink/skinny gay boy outrages and disgusts you, but not calling them 'skinny straight boy'?

And will you still be outraged or are you realizing you sound a bit too close to a bigot that says gays holding hands or kissing in childrens media is too sexual, while straight characters doing the same is fine?

#Sege rants #This is just the latest in a long line of things young queers that view themselves as progressive and activists have decided to parrot #That are basically just evangelical views that have had the religious ties scrubbed off exactly so young queers wont see them for what they #Are and will start parroting them in the name of protecting kids #And i am tired #Like please spend a moment to think about what kinda views youre adopting and who you sound like #And in this case think about how suspicious it is that suddenly twink is a bad word after it became real popular #The ace and aro communities got destroyed by bullshit claims like this circa 2015 #And! And!!! Aphobia like that is often cited as how te//rfs get people into their rhetoric #So its a double fucking whammy #So the next time you see someone go '-word specific to the queer community-is bad for kids!' and think 'yeah maybe ill adopt this into my w #world view!' #Stop and think about who exactly benefits from that #In this case specifically. Who benefits from 'word used by gay people to describe skinny gay people' being seen as bad?

this is what i was referring to the other day btw.... she literally said well you people were annoying last time so fuck off i'm not doing it anymore.... and i stand with her <3

#i love the way she writes responses to people who are clearly annoying her... one of the funniest things about her fr #beth.txt #this post is from 2015 just fyi. so both 1 year pre tda and 5 years pre tlh #i don't know what characters she's speciaifcally referring to that she explicitly said their sexuality before the book came out. because i #wasn't there back then. but i CAN speak to the way she handled ty. which i WAS there for. and it was hilarious. you all really missed out #one of those things you had to experience in real time spanning years... #that was back when this franchise was still accessible tho. and you could get into it with minimal work #there were only like ten books back then.... #ok ten is a lot but you have to understand that there are 21 now. AND sobh. and four more coming. AT LEAST. #not even counting all the holly black books that are not essential to the tsc lore PER SE. but actually they are. for REAL ones. #like i cannot imagine thinking you have a full understanding of cassandra's work and you haven't read holly's modern faerie tales or the sp #spiderwick chronicles. OR MAGESTERIUM. #god imagine being a cassie fan but you havent read the magesterium books..... #(me. i never finished them) #and then also you of course must familiarize yourself with the writing of cassie's collaborators on the novella collections. #so you also have to read hacking harvard. and 13 little blue envelopes. #and of couurse you have to do all of this concurrently with wearing a cheap fandom neckalce every day (izzy's ruby necklace) that turns the #back of your neck green and gets really worn and ugly looking because it's cheap metal and you literally don't take it off. #anyway. only THEN do you understand the lifestyle. #what the fuck was this post originally about. oh yeah cassie is soooo funny <3

[danielhowellscurls]

been rewatching old videos all day

#i find the early 2011 dan annoying(bad way)—hes cute and funny but the internalized homophobia coming off as misogyny juat really gets to me #and then i have a crush on 2013-2015 dan. hes cute hes twinky hes british and hes hilarious #hes now hot (esp with the curls) but also twice my age and its more of seeing him as a cool uncle now??? its difficult to explain #in contrast #phil has throughout been a ray of sunshine which is actually why i dont like some of the solo stuff—i like dan's sarcastic humor better #but to be fair i prefer joint content no matter the era #back to phil— i LOVE 2011 phil. he's so cute and his humor while not my thing is just endearing #but my favorite phil is current phil. he's just fucking hilarious and the innuendos were always there but now you can see that theyre #intentionally made. he curses. it just feels more real idk #soooo yea my current state is the same as it was when i joined the fandom a few years back #oh special mention to dnp in the dan haircut video. they both look soooooo good i was like 👀👀 throughout #in the end im just a 16 year old girl what can i say

[searidings]

What season was current when you started watching SG?

i was waaaaay late to this clown convention bro 5a was airing as i was catching up on five years of lesbians!!!

#so. so. i first watched s1 when it came out in 2015 #and i liked it but like. there was no lena yet so i wasn't HOOKED hooked #i know you wouldn't know it now but believe it or not superheroes are generally really Not My Thing #and then once lena arrived i kept seeing fruity stuff about them on tumblr as the great lesbian migration commenced once more #but i avoided the brain rot for years until i finally saw one sexy post too many and thought shit maybe i should give it another go #also because hello like. katie and mel are fucking gorgeous #so this was late 2019 when i started watching the whole thing from the beginning to catch up #and i distinctly remember winter 2019 seeing that clip of 5a kara at mount norquay and lena turning off the cannons at the last second #that clip was going around on tumblr while i was like just starting s3 and i remember thinking holy fuck #however gay they are now (s3) it's clearly only going to get gayer #and i was RIGHT #anyway. so i was all caught up to the present by the time 5a finished and ive watched it live ever since the 5b premiere!!! #so since the beginning of 2020 ive really been IN this clown car you feel me #never really wrote fic though #but then the pandemic hit and everything shut down and these two fruits had me in a chokehold and lo and behold #my ao3 account was born #and that's what you missed on glee #so i have not been here since the beginning but by god i'm here till the bitter end #hope you're having a wonderful day #asks #anonymous

[neverendingford]

.

#tag talk #tumblr ads keep auto playing audio for me and I swear to god I will leave tumblr forever if this keeps happening. #idgaf I'll dust off my old reddit account if I have to. I fucking hate auto play videos and I do not want audio playing without permission #I'm on the app version so extensions and adblock won't do anything here. maybe I could just log in via mobile web browser? cause Firefox #I might try that. see if the interface works at all. #thinking about it gave me massive nostalgia vibes all of a sudden #cause that's what I did when I first got on tumblr cause my phone couldn't handle the app back in 2015/16 #anyway urrghhhh I will kill and maim and destroy if this keeps being an issue

[humanmorph]

I still think about “Another Word for Righteousness” by boo_cool_robot btw. Like its just up there. The Divine Scrupulosity is making me sooooooo. Like what do you meannnn thats MY brand of mental illness in the form of a divine software program that lives in a man’s brain/the suitcase he carries around. Good lird

It’s so sick that theyre listed as synonyms truly but like I get it. I got there. It’s incredible really.

righteous (adjective) 1: acting in accord with divine or moral law : free from guilt or sin 2: a: morally right or justifiable     b: arising from an outraged sense of justice or morality

(+ from the fatt. wiki article for Rightenousness: “[...] a deep commitment to others in the broad sense, but in the narrow sense is willing to do whatever it takes for that commitment, [...]”)

scrupulous (adjective) 1: having moral integrity: acting in strict regard for what is considered right or proper

And like. The way that scrupulosity too makes you intensively care about others and to do right by them but in a way that puts yourself down while holding yourself to this high standard that righteousness just brings from itself...

It’s Ibex and Righteousness putting themselves Above... They know what’s best. What has to be done. And then Orth and Scrupulosity

But then again, Scrupulosity never likes its Candidates to be too comfortable.

-

Orth closes his eyes. “The first thing in any situation that Scrupulosity finds the flaws in is me. I don’t think meanness can scare me anymore.”

And how this makes Orth easier to manipulate like I’m going to screammmm. The way he numbs to it it is internalized and also what’s so so good here is that it is really truly exhausting to feel like this. And Orth is Oh so miserable and susceptible to someone complimenting him or trusting him even if he KNOWS it can’t be true.

“Meaning no offense to you of course. Dogs are wonderful. People trust dogs.”

“None taken,” Orth assures him. It would be nice to be trusted.

^ So good to meeeee because when you constantly have to be on guard that extends to yourself too and how you think other people perceive of you. Orth mentioning multiple times he Expects people to be put off or not trust him. Augh !

ALSO Orth making a point to separate himself from Scrupulosity (specifally to put himself down too. “Not my specialty. Scrupulosity’s.“). BUT at the end when

Scrupulosity says, You can’t trust him.

Scrupulosity says, You can’t trust yourself.

“I know,”Orth says aloud. He’s always known that.

Attar Rose looks down at him and smiles.

                  sorry i lost it for a moment. Because it Is a part of him it’s in thereeee. Maybe it’s always been.

anyways. good fic good fic

#(ALSO There’s something to it re: Ibex and Rightenousness and how in my mind they are so intertwined. where do they blend into each other) #(when does it stop.) #take this with a grain of salt btw its been 2 years since ive listened to counterweight. OK #im also extrapolating a lot sorry about it but again thats MY brand of mental illness in the form of etc etc. #not that sorry . im having fun #(i put the adjective definitons from merriam webster bc for the nouns its just like. 'the state or quality of being xyz') #i almost quoted animorphs btw (the bright clear line from a to b my beloved) but thats about ruthlessness. #it doesnt quite fit in with what im talking about here but it IS stil a great quote for ibex imo. #someone get on this i know im right #and then im also obsessed with the worldbuilding notes at the end GOOD LIRD ORTH. ORTH #oh its so much worse for him. lovely i love when divines are so horrible #also entirely off topic but the sokrates description of 'a whirl of blue braids and long skirts' is so. <3 hiiiii #rosa rambles #truly. truly. i think about changing my tag sometimes i picked this in like. 2015? but its just real for this one #ill tag this in a reblog sometime dont quite Need my rambling to go in the actual tag #also all this aside orth/ibex just fucks. that too

me and the 12 other people on last.fm who are still listening to the original 2012 release of this album prior to it being rebranded

#sometimes i feel like maybe i imagined all that but then i check my itunes library and its like a reality check #like god. maybe midway through 2013 this album was completely wiped off the internet #i was lucky enough to have bought it on itunes shortly before that happened #bc then it was removed #and any uploads onto youtube were removed within days #literally impossible to find this album unless you had bought it prior to the blackout #and this went on for years #until like 2015 when the songs were officially released onto youtube #and the album was put back up onto itunes/spotify/etc #but this time the album was renamed and the album art was slightly altered #and the songs were slightly altered too #anyway . i still call this album hawaii pt. ii because thats what it always has been to me #even though the official name that everybody else knows it by is hawaii: part ii #brot posts #music #also god my last.fm scrobbles being only 179 . screams #thats bc my scrobbles are split between youtube itunes and spotify #bc each website scrobbles this fucking album differently lol #and also ive only been using last.fm since december 2020 :( #if i had last.fm back in 2013-2015 my stats for this album would be insane.
