#ive followed them for years

[meangreenmulletmachine]

i'm glad you posted about that brand lifting your edit bc i wanted to get something from them and i suspect a lot of their designs are probably stolen too so i'm not gonna buy from them

Hey Anon!

I'm glad you found my post and thought better of it :). I suspect much of the same. Also I've seen several other people warning potential buyers about their pieces being poor quality.

Doesn't seem worth it to me.

#I started making these edits because it made them easier to use/post online #who doesnt love beautiful pixel art with a transparent bg #The part that urks me is that their whole “brand” seems like a cheap money grab #ive followed them for years #not to start a roast fest but their designs have always seemed pretty low effort #but the actual quality (allegedly) is also low #BUT #THEY WANTED 100 BUCKS FOR THE SWEATSHIRT I POSTED #i have a really hard time following along with things that dont sit right with my morals idk #i cant sell my soul to capitalism #if i made any it would be a few higher quality pieces #probably with some diy/handmade elements #like fuck maybe i should :u #one of the homies just got their screen printing set up rolling

didnt have the time to do a full finished drawing, but i tried to keep up with my tradition for redrawing the same good bro day drawing ive done for 3 years already :')

(last year's, which also has links to prev years as well)

#feels like i havent drawn the boys in. forever. i missed them #kinda unrelated and i said this on twitter too but i think most of you guys here should hear it... #i know a lot of you have followed me since my early dmc days and i just wanted to take the chance to thank you #its crazy to me that ppl have known me for so long and the support means a lot to me #i know i havent posted a lot this year bc ive just been busy with work but im grateful you guys still stuck around. thank you :) #anyways back to actual tags #devil may cry #vergil(dmc) #dante(dmc) #allyart

are you actually cancelling the shipment of the new laptop or was that a joke?

It's a joke but. What if I did auuugh

Making big purchases like this give me anxiety to a heavy level because low key I feel like I'm wasting money and that I don't need it because Arson, even though he's clearly not meant to last a lot longer in that shell and is corrupting and losing files, is still booting up and therefore I feel like I've done this 'too early' and that I don't deserve to get the new pc

Like I KNOW I need it and it will help me immensely but. You know

#ive been saving up for about 2ish years now since arson started showing signs #and hes well past his 'shelf life' but if youve been following me for a long time you know i dont really like replacing things #until theyre practically scrap metal #theres also the thing where if you grow up without a lot of money then you develop the mindset of #'now that youve spent that money you wasted it and also theres gonna be an emergency that will happen and youll wish you hadnt' #'what if you hate the pc' #'what if it ships in broken' #'what if something else happens and it breaks when it gets here' #just anxiety anxiety #i hate making large purchases i have such fears around them #also i actaully am really attatched to arson as a character which makes me crazy but hes like the little dude in my head aka my desk

big thanks to @nahrgles for finishing this for me after i hit a wall with colors bg and effects- chromatic aberration blew my fkn mind

pre edit transparent version under cut because i spent too much time cleaning it loll

Aight I feel like I should go ahead and officially say this! I probably won't be drawing much of sun and moon anymore! I'll still reblog art and fics of them but I will no longer be a creator! Just a consumer!

#i thought id be obsessed till the day i die #i do still love fnaf a whole bunch #i think ive just drawn everything i want to see for sun and moon? when i try to draw them it just feel repetitive?? #guys watch me draw them as soon as i post this im gonna lose it #i just had the sudded urge to draw them #but for real thanks for everyone for following 🥹 especially the people who interact with my post #the past two years have been the online experience i had dreamed for! lots of support and interest in my art! means a lot to me #ren won't shut up #I'll probably occasionally draw them but I have new interests now ❤️ #my life is a lime green jeep (that's a metaphor)

[moveslikekeithrichards]

i took these pics in college but i still like them (taken through a screen thats why theyre Like That)

[ID: two pictures of a light sky filled with clouds. they've been taken through a window screen, which almost makes it look like a fabric.]

#tiddytaco #i think ive posted them before but it was 800 years ago on a side blog with no followers so nobody saw it ghfdkdjh

Creators I love you but it's time to wake up

Among rumors about our tumblr user data being sold off to Midjourney/Generative AI, recent Extremely transphobic events (that have been ongoing) coming to a head, another extremely concerning internet censorship bill being pushed in upper levels of government, and a general air of frustration over how the site belongs to and is operated by perhaps the second stupidest CEO (second only to twitters own) of our age, I'm very done with the last few vestiges of what the old internet held for artists.

And if you're reading this, you probably are too.

I know we're tired. We are all tired. It is not always viable to pack up shop and move, again and again and again.

From tumblr to twitter to anywhere else we've ever grown up posting, things no longer work. Our audiences are kneecapped by aggressive and hostile algorithms, our reach is abysmal - if we aren't shadow-banned or silenced for one (transphobic) reason or another, we're thrust into an ever growing pit of hostility where the only thing that drives clicks is fighting and contention.

We're tired. We're so fucking tired. We aren't businesses, we aren't content mills, we cannot keep this pace that modern social media has set for us, to wring every ounce of creativity out of us to profit from and leave us rotting.

The key to staying afloat here, and I cannot stress this enough, is to stay connected to your peers.

Pack up and move as units if you must. Exodus from the sites that are killing us. Push your entire friend group of artists to move from one site to the next that promises you a kinder experience.

Art drives movements, it drives change, it is all that encompasses being human. If you take that away from the shitty places, they will be left with nothing but a cesspit of inhumanity and the people who follow you will be more incentivized than ever to move with you.

Yes, this is terrifying. There are no guarantees. There never was, and never are, and never will be.

But stay connected. Stay human.

Support each other and be willing to hold hands and jump when we all - as a group - need to jump from the flames we're all trying to convince ourselves wont kill us before rescue comes.

Rescue isn't coming, rescue will be found hand in hand with each other. I'm offering you my hand, please take it. There's always a new start, there are always helping hands reaching for you. You have to look up from the doom-scroll long enough to see and take them.

#art communities #art community #teo talks #sorry I have a Lot of opinions about posting art online I've been doing this since I was 14 and I'm 28 this year #I have watched the rise and fall of social media titans and you have to understand the ONLY thing that will keep you afloat #is keeping connected to your peers #we have to move as units and we have to stay together and we have to support each other #your following is not stability. your friendships are. #thats why you hear about networking. thats ceo talk for friendships. connections. #you have to have enough connections to build your own support web on the chance that everything goes to shit. yes its hard work. it sucks. #but it is a necessity. twitter isn't getting better. its not going back to how it was. neither is DA or tumblr. its not happening. #If you put all your eggs in one or two precarious baskets and both fall. you will be shit out of luck! thats reality #there is hope to be found but you have to be realistic and understand that you NEED to build up a presence elsewhere. even if its hard. #I want to help you if I can!!!! bluesky is a really solid twitter alternative!!! #ive heard good things about cohost as a tumblr alternative!!!! #sheezy and inkblot are both indie sites currently being developed by and for other creatives. support them! #they won't be perfect until - and UNLESS - you do! #anyways sorry I will step off my soapbox now Im just frustrated with the state of everything

sometimes i think abt how shocked chuuya was when dazai was like 'teehee i blew up your car' and its like ??? bro why are you surprised?? he presumably left the pm the same day your car blew up and you never connected those two things😭😭

#its funny but if i think abt it too much i get sad #which is dumb bc its supposed to be a silly little guy thing #but like. #holy shit he just never considers that the asshole(said fondly) wld have done that 😭😭😭 #soukoku #help i was an outside observer to this ship like a year ago and now ive been obsessed w them for a month and absorbed sm content i might die #god this will sound insane to my non skk followers hey guys i promise theyre great #blowing up your car(lovingly) threatening to murder you(endearingly) #“hm dazai just left the pm and now my car has exploded. these unrelated events sure are annoying for me. wonder who did this🤩”

[handweavers]

sorry like I know this post is vagueing me and it's so far far far removed from anything i have ever felt or said and not the intention or sentiment behind my words whatsoever and thousands of people reblogging this Including Mutuals and putting it on my dash. you are making up someone who doesn't exist bc this isn't how I feel whatsoever nor was it what i meant by that post at all and no matter how many times i say that you will all continue to insist that is how i feel and call me mean spirited and self important etc etc when i have said again and again and again and again that there isn't an ounce of ill will or superiority or righteousness in my intentions and the post was based on questions that i ask myself in an entirely neutral way bc i find them helpful to gauge my relationship w media! bc i know myself and sometimes i do disappear into things to my own detriment!! it wasn't about you nor meant as a self righteous thing. at this point you guys are looking for someone to be mad at and making up this person because i've said all i can that this isn't how i feel or think or believe at all and i give up trying to clarify myself because no one is listening or cares they just want to be angry

#& its sad bc i like the person who posted this ive followed them for a few years we r both longtime pathologic fans #like. okayyyyyyyyy

My friends and I joke about how Declan Mckenna is Miles Kane and Alex Turner’s secret son.

#i dont know anything about declan ive just been listening to his music and loving it for over 5 years #he has sparkly blue makeup sometimes and that reminds me of miles too #theres probably a lot more parallels between them but like i said idk declan well enough #please add more if you know any #they should follow their sons lead and come out #they have 2 sons actually; declan and al pacino #declan mckenna #miles kane #alex turner #charlie time #?

How the hell did I watch all your MLP videos, scroll through some of your Tumblr stuff, read "The Twilight Effect", adore the art in it, and only NOW just realise you have a Tumblr?

I really scrolled through going "Huh, the art seems REALLY familiar..."

ahhh hahaha im glad that you found me! and thank u so much for reading :D

#lili talking #tbh tumblr is so detached from other social media #i have definitely followed someone on twt/yt and then realized ive been following them on tumblr for years

i do love canon amy & rory but god, does some part of me wish they really had gone with the idea of the doctor picking up a child as a companion (and then later, that child’s best friend with a huge crush on her.) with the rest of the season really not changing at all, except now it’s amelia pond with an angel in her head killing her and lost alone in the woods. it’s little rory who dies and is forgotten and becomes a toy soldier. if this is going to be a fairy tale, then let it be one. children have never been safe in fairy tales.

#it wouldn’t have to change any of the actual plot of the season. except MAYBE amy’s choice but even then i think amy’s choice would be the #one episode where they should be adults. if only for the half where they live in a village in that dream. #because that’s the kind of future that children would dream up. they live in a little cottage and nothing ever goes wrong and their best #friend visits them all the time even though they’ve grown up. #they aren’t actually adults there just children with an idea of what they should be as adults and acting accordingly #and it would still end the same way. #but idk its just. rory’s 2000 years waiting for amy inside the pandorica is already tragic. yes. #now imagine its a kid. a kid in a little roman soldier helmet who will never grow up. who will not leave his best friend. #he loves her and she’s more important than the whole universe and that sort of love is supposed to MEAN something in a fairy tale! #its supposed to melt the ice out of hearts and transform people from stone. #and what that love means here. is that he will have to wait 2000 years. a child and a box. #little rory and the amelia who followed the doctor’s letters to the pandorica. and she doesn’t recognize him again. #and amelia in the pandorica… 2000 years a child trapped in a small box waiting to be rescued. #s5 is already fucked for them but it could be worse. it could be so much worse. #and it would make the doctor choosing to take her place in the pandorica to save the universe later even better. #because who else but the doctor would put the fate of the universe on the shoulders of two children and realize much too late what a #monstrous thing he’d done. and still have to hope. have to hope. that amelia would remember him fondly enough to bring him back to reality. #the logistics of all of this would have been a pain lmao. child labor laws in acting and all that. #BUT. hypothetically. it would have slapped. #doctor who #amy pond #rory williams #<- also this entire time ive been referring to him in my head as rory pond so much that i fuckin. forgot his actual last name. #and then like if you want them to be adults in s6 or whatever you can just timeskip to them getting married and still have amelia remember #the doctor there. it would work. it would. #amelia pond au
