#i just wanted this on my blog. and not just my twitter

[csny]

not to be messy but how do you feel about people stealing other peoples viral posts on tumblr and reposting it on twitter like it’s theirs. (she’s on here by guttergirl-444) & she has stolen many more lol

at first glance it’s like shock and amazement more than anything because i never thought this would happen to me, but when i actually stop to think about it, it actually is very frustrating and invasive. i know it happens all the time and i can’t really stop it, plus my posts have no copyright or anything but it is true, when i make posts that aren’t haha funny laugh a lot play a lot, they kind of are little extensions of my artwork. like drafts and ideas that often get elaborated on if they seem to connect with people.

i don’t really want to dunk on other artists because it feels mean spirited, but i just want to point out this one instance that shows how writing anything on tumblr is “just a tumblr post” and people often don’t consider that there’s a person behind it. it’s almost like a popular tumblr post becomes fair use. This artist here took my words directly from my post (and even used the same iconography of a beach??) and when you click on the link in the description, it takes you to their instagram account with 142k followers. not even a single nod to me, who wrote the actual words. as an extra little punch, they call themself a poet in their bio.

sure my post was a bottom text top text “meme image” but there was a lot behind it—in both thought and time. the exact same ideas and photos made their way into a book i made just a couple months later. i think i sold umm one copy?

all in all, im not complaining about lacking “popularity” because that’s utterly stupid. but there’s something moderately soul-crushing about making a tumblr post and having it ripped to shreds by all walks of life online. It literally feels like i’ve placed something beautiful in the world out of my own kindness, then walked away, and when i come back everyone has defaced and damaged and killed it. it’s kind of invasive but I know it’s the way things go.

i love the anonymity of tumblr but sometimes I wish it we were all a little more open. Maybe people could remember that behind every blog is another person with ideas, cares, opinions, annoyances, and loves. I’m sure this one twitter account isn’t really doing much damage—honestly I haven’t even gone to look at it to see how people are replying—but it’s rough out there on this beautiful social media we call tumblrposts.

it's crazy how Everytime I open YouTube there's some variation of Wish is the worst thing ever "movie review" or "character analysis" on my screen

Like dear God I can't wait for this film to drop on Disney+ so the masses actually watch it and end up loving it or at least finding the hatred undeserved so all of these "critics" end up looking mad stupid

Like Jesus Christ it's the most simple harmless wholesome Disney movie you truly gotta be miserable to react to it like these YouTubers are.

#I want my blog to be positive and not just defending the film but ugh it's kinda hard to just enjoy it when there's so much vitriol against #Like why can't I go on YouTube without seeing some absurd take on this sweet little movie bruh #I think I will forever be looking for what's so offensive about Wish to warrant these unhinged reactions #It's mainly just YouTube and kinda Twitter tho #Wish #Wish movie #Wish Disney #Asha wish #Star wish #King magnifico #Wish fandom #Disney #Animation #Cartoon

listen this may be a hot take that’s okay i’m fine with that i just feel that the @everyone main tag fandom vagueposts about sending admins hate and/or targeting ccs is . abyssal nonsense to post to tumblr. like you’re not wrong im not disagreeing with any of you— it just feels fruitless to post that on a website where none of us have direct contact with any admins or creators. if you see it in the main or side tags feel free to call it out, i think we should be doing that, but like the aimless vagueposting is not only reductive but directly adding to the negativity you’re trying to combat

#eleanor.txt #qsmp #i feel bad for even putting this in main tag but it’s like. at the same time i do want the tag to be a nice space #correct me if i’m wrong and there’s admins that are being targeted here but like. idk post ur post on twitter maybe #and this isn’t me trying to excuse qsmpblr we have issues of our own just. those aren’t our issues i don’t think #plus maybe my blocklist just works real well but i personally don’t see any excessive hate or negativity or anything #willing to be wrong on this one maybe we really need the callout or something idk. did we do something #this isn’t even discourse this is just blogging and it also feels like nobody knows the difference here. THATS one of our real issues

after a few weeks from being at the USA, my reflection is: you could have everything. this country could have everything and be an amazing country , but it is fundamentally broken even more than I realised. its unlike anything ive ever seen, there is the population to support a UBI and public transit across its entire surface (australia has issues of being too small of a population to support high speed rail). it feels like something held together with duct tape that no one is fixing because it was fine 150+ years ago, so why change it? Thats the vibe I get. it needs changing so bad like it just made me angrier coz it could be an amazing country and have amazing infrastructure but its so broken that its just... god. its sad!! it makes me so angry!!!! you could have so many things!! i am so sorry

#meroaw rambles #i am thinking with twitter dying i will talk more here than just posting art but if you guys just want art i will shut up #i have a personal blog shinymeowstic #if you wanna see my reblogs

i think we as a tumblr society have progressed past the need. blows you guys kisses

#i have simply had enough after last night #some of you have gotten excessively parasocial not just towards me but towards other blogs you come to talk shit about #as if i am not friends or at the very least acquaintances with them #and it's obvious you're from twitter because then i see the same phrasing on a vague tweet #i try to be positive or at the very least constructive about the issues you guys bring to me #but there's a bit too much venting a bit too much infighting i just won't waste my time on #i really wanted to have a normal conversation about how me and that one anon felt about content #and some of you got SO weird SO quickly i was put off. especially waking up this morning to the disaster that was my inbox #it is on me for having encouraged that type of behaviour at some level #so i'm pulling the plug now. go back to twitter and keep vague posting there

Motley is an excellent starter project, because the main goal with it is just having fun and maximizing My Enjoyment in making it. It's a very personal story in a lot of ways (this bad boy can fit so much projection into it), so I'm really focusing on creating it in the way I want to.

I think it helps that I have a second, entirely new story to tell immediately after it, so even if Motley isn't "perfect" or whatever, I know I'll have another project to improve with. Either way, I'm just having a lot of fun lately lol

#i said no more textposts but i lied. youre gonna have to take me to court over it #mom said its my blog and i can post what i want #the second story is one thats existed EVEN LONGER than motley if you can believe it. and just as developed and personal to me lmfao #one day ill post about it somewhere other than my priv twitter. one day #not art
