I'm planning to start making stickers sometime within the next few months, and I'd like to see how many people would be interested in them.

I would make a variety of designs for stuff like fandoms (star trek, metalocalypse, elder scrolls, books, et cetera), animals (invertebrates, fish, maybe some mammals if you're lucky) and various other adjacent things... like wizards.

Right now, I'm working on some shark stickers to test out a simpler style that requires less time to produce but maintains the quality I'm aiming for.

🚨🚨if you followed me in the last two days, please like this message. Last night, over two hundred bots followed me, and some even left really vague comments on my art, almost making it seem like a real person. i'm about to go and block people especially if you have the default icon.

i'm sorry. i know not everyone with a default icon is a bot, but there are viruses going around for if you check, and with 272 bots, I just don't have time to check. The are following me quicker than I can report and block, so I have to block default icons on sight.

please reply with something that sounds real to this post or like it or something if you followed recently.

edit: like twenty more followed me in the two minutes it took to post this. i can't block them fast enough. Not all of them have default icons, some are sneaky, but they're still bots.

edit edit: over 700 in the last 12 hours

#sorry yall #just with constant bad news and all this bot stuff it's just so exhausting #hngggg. what a way to reach 6k #also a bunch of people who still reblog my art aren't following anymore and idk if it's a glitch or some sideblog thing but i do have a #separate account for just art if people want that #petricorah-art #i have another account and this isn't happening there. why my art account??? why...

Decided I’m gonna get really into working on our yard.

The thing is: the yard is like 80% weeds. No exaggeration

#the last people who lived here just must not have touched it #I know it’s in vogue to have weeds instead of pristine lawns these days but I want a lawn #but at the same time I’m not trying to sink a bunch of money in it because it’s a rental also #my dad thinks the only way in its current state would be to fully resod #so I think I’m going to start with clearing a small sport #to see how sod takes #ideally I’d like to try to grow some things eventually too #plants and veggies and such #so maybe some soil patches won’t need sod in places where the sun reaches

how come you do post much about gaza?

assuming you meant don't*? because this makes no sense otherwise? anyway

that you don't see my activism doesn't mean it isn't happening. tumblr is a terrible platform for activism, so I don't use it for that

#i won't pull up donation receipts for a fuckign tumblr anon #i won't sit here and try to explain that tumblr activism is typically restrained to tumblr. people rb the posts and never do anything else #people here notoriously do not click on links #so what i do. what i donate. where i protest. my household's boycotting. i do it and i talk to people about it but i don't do it here #because it won't do jack shit here and i'm trying to connect with people who might actually participate. for tangible results #sorry if that sounds Angry. it's because it is.#if y'all want to free palestine then you have to participate more than just reblogging. boosting voices is good but it takes more than that #tumblr rbs don't put pressure on politicians. they don't fund relief efforts. they don't pay for esims. they don't demonstrate organized #support for palestine in a Visible Manner to your city or state or country #they aren't disruptive #that's why you don't see me post on here. i'm trying to concentrate my efforts where they might do something #NOW. before you come for my throat. obviously there is nothing wrong with circulating posts about aid and resources to help #but then you should really consider like. contributing to those resources. that's key. that's the point. and some people here do! great!#i just. am more likely to be able to find and reach people who do in other places #maybe i should've said all that in the post instead of the tags but i really don't want to bring a bunch of misunderstanding down on myself #asks answered #'i wont sit here and explain' and then i did. damn

congrats on writing the fic that made a man text his (sort of estranged) dad. fr your portrayal of every single dynamic is so flawless and considerate. nobel prize.

THAT ACTUALLY DOES FEEL LIKE AN ACCOMPLISHMENT... i hope it goes well anon!!!

there's a lot to be said about people who did the wrong things but feel genuine remorse and want to get better, i think. i've been there (though not in a parent sense), and it's also what happened with my mom after i moved out, so i guess i kind of know how it is from both angles. on top of, you know, just writing what i know of who chilchuck is as a person (and assuming a lot of things about meijack and the others, lmao...)

#tox answers #tox.txt #fic: promises to keep #i've never known my biological father and atp my step-dad can eat lead paint for all i care #but dynamics aren't as gender-locked as people think they are anyway so my experience works fine for what i need #i think chilchuck is a very good and very flawed person (ryoko kui is super good at writing nuanced characters)#he wants to improve not only for himself but for those he cares about... but the way that manifests in canon is something of a winding road #in promises i tweaked a bunch of story elements and then asked myself how i thought that'd change his responses #if he knew from the outset why his wife left him would he then have a better understanding of what he needed to change about himself?#in a world with cellphones it was easy for him to reach out in the moment #in canon i think even if he knew where she went immediately... by the time he went looking the anger would have set in #so even if he wanted answers i'm not sure he'd have been willing to listen at that point #this is what's fun about AUs to me--putting characters in situations they've never been in canonically (or altering the ones they were in)#and then asking “how does this affect their response? how does my understanding of them piece together with this new situation”#every individual choice in the setting and to the lore of the world affects how these known dynamics will play out #whoops wrote an essay in the tags.

random, barely comprehensible word vomit about in the gloaming

because i'm obsessed and in tons of pain

The entire movie maintains a heavy air, melancholy weighing in the contact the characters’ eyes share, yet make room for levity in Danny’s conversations with his mother.

Danny reflects on his past, yearning for what could’ve been. He’s unsure of whose remissness on the topic of his lover was to blame for what he didn’t have; His own, or his mother’s?

What if he’d come out sooner? Could he have salvaged their relationship? Would it be just as he imagined? Could he have enraged his family and treated the arguments with a careless levity, just as he imagined? Could they have learned to love and accept each other, to hang each others’ ornaments in their family trees? Could they? Would they?

An analytical young man who, while glib in his words, knows.

She knows she’s messed up. She’s made too many lapses in her life. She wasn’t as inquisitive as she should have been. But it’s too late to worry about that now. She needs to be with her baby in the now. She needs to shut out everything she couldn’t mend, she needs to be with her baby.

Non-confrontational–We don’t need to talk about it right now. We just have to deal with it. This is the way things are.

You can’t change the past, but you may the future.

Anne’s life, from a childhood of being a glass door to her brother who had the favor of their mother that she tried so desperately to earn, feels like it’s culminating to this; Mother’s favor turning into more than just favor. She shields her child and withholds love because of the damage inflicted on her by her mother, as though Danny turned out the way he did because of excessive love from their mother, as though her child may turn out the same way if he comes into contact with him. Unresolved.

No matter what she does, how many wonderful things she does in her life, no accomplishment could hold a candle to dying. She’d officially lost.

He who cares for his family so deeply but has no way to express it. He who has a bottled ardor for his child but can’t find the means to connect in the same way he sees in his wife; Is it too late? Did he wait too long to realize their relationship could never have been “normal?” Was it enough to bring out the lamb and grow the tomatoes? Was he too late?

Four people separated by more than just miles.

I'm gonna throw hands. What happened to being able to write and enjoy writing different types of fiction with people who ALSO clearly enjoy writing things?? You can aknowledge toxic behavior and not support it or be down for it and still include it in fiction for you know. Entertainment and story telling purposes. Even then. What happened to blocking content you don't like or people who talk to you in ways you don't like and shit and continueing on.

why are people who enjoy or like writing villains or morally ambiguous characters such subject of attack by people. You don't have to like that content. no one is shoving it down your throat and forcing you to read or interact.

#i remember why i wasn't rping on tumblr #or why i stopped rping for a few years in general #jesus fuck #ooc #so many reminders on why i have such a hard time wanting to reach out to mutuals or people in general to write honestly #for a bunch of fucking adults a lot of you on this site are babies #im trying to sit here and be sick #and it's like every day im seeing different blogs being deactivated #most of them being bullied for their type of content or because years ago they might have treated someone poorly or something

aous was...fine, imho, it was fine, but it was fundamentally white, middle-class british and i could accept that but i couldn't forgive it

#aous #aous spoilers #namely...paul mezcal being terrified at having seen a ghost #people treating ghosts as unnatural or weird or wrong was bizarre to me #latinos built different!#also visually the film felt Too Polished #it should've been grainier; the past and the sex all felt too clean #but mostly i can't get over the ghosts part...i.e. why would you be afraid #there's something...comforting about them being able to linger and then choose to leave #anyways things i did not like about it included seeing andrew scott in pjs. the ways money didn't seem to figure into anything.#(he's a writer but he lives in these high end flats but he spends all his time visiting his childhood home which is empty but not??)#(paul mezcal is an alcoholic who lives alone and seems to live at andrew scott's beck and call - WHAT DOES HE DO FOR WORK)#the whole sheen of ''we don't need to think about the material conditions here'' really bothered me actually #it felt necessary to engage with if we're also doing the magical realism #anyways when we left the theater this gaggle of young 20-something women were also exiting #and one of them said ''okay i think that movie forced me to process a bunch of shit i hadn't wanted to think about''#and i laughed bc i'm glad it reached out and touched her

i'm watching a podcast talking about one of the most famous missing persons cases and they have the sister of this missing person as a guest. at the beginning she was talking about how, after 20 years of her sister's disappearance, she made a podcast with the help of another true crime victim in hopes of getting people to keep talking about her sister's case and also to like see if any new leads will pop up (and also to dispel a lot of the false information that has been spread throughout the years). and she said that yes, thanks to her putting out this podcast, they've had at least two new reliable leads come because of it. and she seemed so pleasantly surprised when she said this, because why wouldn't she be happy that at least something new has come out of it!

like yes, there are A LOT of scummy and terrible true crime youtubers/podcasters AND consumers out there but there's also some that do try to help the victims and spread awareness in the most respectful possible way and idk i just keep thinking about that one post i saw on tumblr a while back dissing on people that consume this type of content. i've heard of at least two other cases of people doing podcasts on missing people that have actually helped solve cases or bring new information to light, so while you DO have to be careful on which youtuber/podcaster you do listen that just doesn't treat it as some sick source of entertainment and YES those types of people are absolutely disgusting and shouldn't be supported and should actually be denounced for it, there are also podcasters out there who are trying to make a difference in these cases and help in any way they can.

#junk #this podcast i listen to has had a bunch of family members of victims throughout the years #and the family members of course wish they didn't have to be there to talk about their missing or murdered loved one but #they know that social media is a powerful tool in spreading awareness and to help raise funds for their cause #because most of the times the media will not cover their case unless other people start talking about it and star getting traction #also the two channels i do follow do a lot of fundraisers #and matching donations to help families/victims of true crime so #because my god that shit is expensive hiring private investigators and stuff #also yes i know not all victim's families want to publicly speak out about their loved one's case but #for the ones that do podcasting and agreeing to be on these shows helps their cause #oh and also in one of the videos that they did without the family of the victim the family actually reached out to them and thanked them fo #the great job that they did covering their loved one's case so #just be careful out there

Hey if you're a non-radfem and you want to make a complaint that radical feminist critique keeps getting applied to you because you hang around radical feminist spaces here is my advice: leave.

Honestly, I'm so tired of seeing this shit. Go find some other places to hang out. I don't care that you came here because everyone else kicked you out for being a "transphobe". That does not make it our responsibility to soften our movement and our criticisms so that you feel comfortable in a movement you have no intention of of committing to. You are welcome here on the basis of being a woman, however, if you can't handle the feminist action that goes on in these spaces, then you need to leave. That is a you problem, not ours. I'm tired of hearing y'all whine that we don't coddle you enough and then adding anecdotal evidence of feminist harm or strawmen arguments for why you're justified in doing patriarchal actions were other women are not. There is not a single identifier or life experience you can tell me that is going to make me think that you deserve to be exempt from the same criticisms I would level at any other woman. If you're an adult, you should be mature enough to hear them. If you are not mature enough to hear feminist critique, you need to leave feminist spaces.

if you want to be self-serving, it is completely your right to do so. I've heard a number of you in passing claim that you "don't want to be feminist, you want to be people". Which, while that's an insulting sentiment as a feminist, just demonstrates that the only person y'all care about is yourself. You see being a person as inherently being self-serving and self-centered. First and foremost, it's all about you. That level of selfishness is pathetic and frowned upon in collective spaces. Feminism being one of them.

Just save us all the headache and go away. Y'all are one of the only groups of people on the internet who are able to piss me off in seconds, istg.

#lily responds #literally any of you who do not have a vested interest in the liberation of women refuse to do feminist action and #then still feel entitled to control how these space is function #f*** off. we have enough trouble holding spaces where we can have these discussions because we are feminist in the first place #we don't need a bunch of non-feminist women coming in and telling us that we are hurting their feelings and they #want us to do something about it. we're not doing s*** about it.#if you can't handle the fact that the things you're doing harm other women then stop f****** doing them #don't get mad at us because we're pointing out the damage you're doing and the damage in the messages you're helping perpetuate #you can log off and go experience all the spaces in the world that aren't made specifically for radical feminism #y'all hear that we're here to serve women in the effort to liberate all women and think that means we're here to serve you personally #I may be responding directly to a person regarding this soon but I'm so irritated I can't edit my post at the moment #I will make it clear here that I don't think every woman of the groups I just listed is doing this at all #I think it's a minority however I'm tired of these minority group of women using these identifiers to justify being a shit feminist #or justify why they don't have to be a feminist but should still have all the entitlement to the feminist spaces we create to talk about #our movement. these are feminist spaces first women's spaces secondary #I don't even know how to tag this because the specific people I want to reach is you fucking entitled ass orbiters #you who take advantage of the fact that we are welcoming to any woman to be divisive in our movement when you don't wish to be an activist #in the first place. or you want to claim the title alone and do good action but get us to stop criticizing ur anti-feminist actions #there's clearly enough of you that y'all can create your own gender critical non-feminist spaces. just leave us the f***#alone.#also when you use being gay as a justification for why you shouldn't have to be a feminist you make all us lesbian feminist look bad #there are plenty of feminists who recognized that we are women and therefore benefit from women's liberation #y'all are so f****** annoying #some of my tags may not make sense because I just listed just about every group of women there is realized I listed every group of women #and then erased it because I realized that was a lot of words for no reason so those are the identifiers I'm talking about in my tags

Someone asks “where is this money going and do we have any evidence of it” and suddenly they’re being negative y’all just wanna play at helping ppl without using common sense or listening to the people saying MONEY IS NOT MAKING IT IN! Like. Can we be serious for 5 fucking minutes

#I will say apparently creators clarified it’s not going to Palestine but Palestinian based charities so I’m gonna be looking into that #but ppl just using the filter and saying ‘use this or u support genocide 😍’ and don’t even know how the fuck the filter is helping #like I understand the desperation of wanting to do anything ANYTHING in the face of all this #but y’all A) are being dumb as fuck about it and KNOW it’ll come back to bite you if it turns out to be bullshit #and B) taking the opportunity to gloat 💀 thank you so much for using a filter and donating a few cents to a person who’s word ur taking at #face value. bc lemme remind you these people are calling anyone saying ‘can we get some proof ur doing what u say u are’ NEGATIVE #like if it’s going to charities and individuals who are being impacted and need help or can get some kind of help out to those being impacte #that’s PERFECT #but not only do we NOT know that y’all are using the fact that ur form of revolution is stupidity and half a prayer to feel morally superior #which is sick as fuck to do #anyways #idk if I already said this but I’m not fixing tags but apparently she has evidence that she’s being honest #-the creator of the original filter-#so duh I’ll look into that and see #BTW! there’s more than one filter. this is not a good thing to me sorry #well not that there’s more than one the fact that there’s so many #and if y’all can’t handle a question about one I know you’re not fact checking them all #and unfortunately ppl like to take advantage #and even if they’re not spreading it out across a bunch of filters with no evidence is the same as that person who had a list of shit to #boycott that reached the 30s when BDS already has shit out there #WHICH IS WHAT BOTHERS ME THE MOST #there ARE things you can do orginizations already out there literally saying ‘if ur x age in y financial situation you need to do Z’#but y’all wanna be katniss everdeen so bad that it’s impossible to handle that ur not the main character or calling the shots #and as ‘noble’ as it is to feel that ur not doing enough sometimes u do all u need to do and u still have time to kill and that sucks. but #going overboard in ways that are only not productive but harmful is so much worse #whatever tho what do I know #at least it’s sweet that ppl WANT to do so much but it’s not always the thought that counts and shit

Tbh I'm glad that sp artists dont do that "reblogs > likes" thing. I was a little worried when a few people put it on their posts a while back, but it died off pretty quickly.

#1) 'always reblog every single piece of fan art you interact with' wouldnt really work in this fandom since liking sp is considered-#-taboo on tumblr. Reblogging sp fan art requires admitting to your moots that you like sp. That's why a lot of popular sp fan art has-#-really high like to reblog ratios #2) from what i've seen most of the artists doing the 'reblogs > likes' people are fresh from twitter and mostly only care about the numbers #-tumblr is getting more traffic now than it did a few years ago; but it's still not where you want to go if reaching a lot of people-#-is all that you want #3) not too long ago i was in another fandom where begging for reblogs was common practice. Let me tell you how that turned out. -#-first it started as 'reblogs > likes' on every piece of fan art. Then it was posts going around saying that 1 to 10 reblogs to likes was-#-a pathetically sad ratio. Then it was 'always reblog because you are singlehandedly responsible for an artist's mental health'. -#-then it was putting 'please reblog; likes do NOTHING' on every fan art. Then it was begging for even more reblogs because-#-1 to 2 likes to reblogs ratio was pathetically sad. Then it was 'by not reblogging you are telling an artist to end it all' gaining-#-traction among rpf proshippers.#Look. I get it. I'm not as public about it anymore; but i'm a fan artist and fic author too. I sympathize with working hard on something-#-and wanting a lot of people to see it. But if people quiely appreciating your work is affecting you that much then maybe you need to-#-work on yourself instead of trying to control what a bunch of strangers on the internet do.#Also you need to learn how to enjoy creating without caring about the numbers. Because if you're creating just to watch-#-the numbers go up then you will never be happy. It's a miserable; joyless way to be an artist of any kind

i feel like i need to spread my propaganda too. so. the southern reach trilogy by jeff vandermeer is so good ??? its got canon lgbt rep!!! really well executed eldritch horror!!! i know it really doesnt mean anything to say i dont get scared by books a lot because everyones tolerance is different, but these books had some incredibly tense moments. the protagonists switch up from book 1 and 2 but theyre both . such compelling characters. man the descriptions are so lurid.. the imagery.. etc. eternal brainrot

If I had a nickle for every time today I was recommended a dystopia sci-fi trilogy where each book title is just a foreboding word with a different distinct color cover for each that is dearly beloved by a mutual, I'd have 2 nickels. Which isn't a lot but its odd it happened twice.

I haven't heard of those books before, and just like avery you have managed a lot of words without actually telling me anything of what the book is about! but that's okay I think it's funny. looks like its not long either, just 200 pages I could knock that out quick. I won't be doing so soon, because like I've said so many times y'all are probably sick of it, very long and chaotic tbr so I don't have a specific time frame, but it is now on my radar :)

thank you for the propaganda! I appreciate being exposed to media I wouldn't have found otherwise, and I'm curious to see what it is about these books you like!

#southern reach trilogy #quil's queries #tw-5 #love typing in a new tag (southern reach) and seeing a bunch of preset ones pop up #like oh! there are people posting about it enough to tag it and for that tag to pop up here #a community I did not even know existed...fascinating #anyway if someone tells me to read a book 99% of the time I will just go oh yeah sure!#most recent exceptions were 2 books a teacher lent me as part of a big group I just couldn't #i couldn't get into that romance book I got maybe 60 pages in if that and just could not #and then the other one the 1300s murder mystery was interesting the writing style was just so...dragged on #i want to go back to that one but it was. i needed a break ough

#one of my longest-time friends just sent me a bunch of texts that basically said #'i need space. cant support you right now but please reach out when youre stable & moved out'#like how....how much more space do they need?? we only see each other once a month and maybe text a handful of times in between #and like i would reference our friendship anytime i'd start to spiral about how everyone leaves around the 3 yr mark #like 'no leah thats not true. you have andrew and you have X. they've both been friends with you for longer than 3 yrs'#but i guess i cant even use that benchmark anymore to ground myself #because now they've left. they're fucking gone #i dont even know how to reply to their texts i genuinely. dont know what to say #the urge to move to washington D.C. is stronger than ever. just get me the fuck out of the west coast #but if i am going to be so very honest the urge to move is one step removed from the urge to go cliff diving off a hundred foot cliff #i feel like throwing up #how do i fuck up friendships this badly how is this a repeated thing that has happened since 14?#what am i doing wrong. why cant i connect to people. why dont they want to stay connected to me. what about myself is so fucking abhorrent
