#most people are nice

[clownboy-yeehonk]

For my work secret santa I got a gift basket with wine, glasses, a candle, and a llama wine bottle holder thing, and when I thanked the girl who gave it to me she was so excited and told me how she looked so hard for a basket with the Llama because she knew I really liked them and it was just so sweet of her, but the thing is I've never actually had a strong opinion either way on llams. I have a couple scrub tops that have llamas on them (they're a popular pattern theme idk why) but I guess she got it in her head that they're my favorites (for the record my favorite animals are gorillas elephants and any kind of cat big or small)

And like first of all, I would now rather die than EVER let her know my ambivalence towards llamas, but also like...I think about that every time I see a llama now. I'm gonna go through the rest of my life remembering how this girl was so excited to get me something she thought I would like, and she also wrote a really nice card to go with it about me being a good friend, and not to sound like a fortune cookie but the thought does count and it was just so lovely and I'll never think of llamas the same way again bc I do love them now. Anyway love is transformative and also stored in the Llama wine bucket

#something something there are more people than you think that not only notice but care about you and see you as a friend #im pretty friendly with most of my coworkers but we dont necessarily hang out outside of work #and part of me still very much feels like im still the weird kid in the middle school cafeteria with no one to sit with but thats not true #most people are nice #and i do really try and help my newer coworkers especially bc i know how scary and stressful it is to be new #so i go out of my way to support them and let them know they can always ask me for help and i wont think theyre dumb for asking a question #and i guess it works! they do feel supported and like they can ask for help! i made a difference for someone! #and thats a good feeling even if ive got other crap going on or not going on rn #i did something good and made someone feel better and less scared while learning a difficult and stressful job #sort of that be the person you needed when you were younger kinda thing #and i think thats the 2024 goal to be the person i needed when i was younger and to be someone a young me would be impressed by #love and purpose are stored in the llama wine bucket

I should quit YouTube.

#most people are nice #they like the cats and dogs #they engage with the videos #it boosted the shelter's popularity #i like making the videos but some of the people are so rude #they just come to point out what I'm doing wrong #and how wrong I look #it's hurtful

"Tell your favorite creators that you like their work, people usually enjoy things silently, but hate tends to be loud"

This is a phrase I just heard from Dnd shorts that captures perfectly why I often try to make the effort of commenting on posts and telling people that I enjoy their work and why Even to small creators, I advice everyone to make the extra effort to tell them, I can guarantee it makes all the difference in the world, it's not cringy or obnoxious, it'll just brighten someone's day

#text #random dambles #please don't think I only say this because of me #I'm very lucky to have gotten such nice messages and comments #I just feel like on every site I see less and less people interacting and saying how cool someone's work is #I've seen AMAZING artworks on all platforms with near to non comment #I know for a fact people engaging with your work is the favorite part of most if not all artists out there #so sad Jocat is retiring out of hearing the hate too loud

Do you guys notice how when Shawn Fain, president of the United Auto Workers union, started planning a general strike, he did it by a) targeting his messaging towards unions with the ability to safely and effectively strike in large numbers, b) laid out a clear, actionable plan for those unions to follow (setting contracts to all expire at the same time, since many unions cannot strike while under contract), c) is using union contracts to set clear, actionable demands that can be met in order to gauge success and provide an end goal, and d) started organizing FOUR YEARS before the proposed strike date to give people the chance to plan accordingly, because it takes a really freaking long time to get tens of millions of people organized?

You notice how he didn't do it by slapping a message on Twitter saying 'hey nobody go to work on Monday, that'll really show 'em'?

#those 'monday is a general strike stay home if you can!!!' posts are SO performative and they really annoy me #like. you MUST know you can't organize a general strike of tens of millions of people by sharing an infographic on twitter. Right? #don't even get me started on the most recent one that was like 'we understand the last strike only gave one day of notice' #'so this time we're giving you two! strike is on tuesday everyone don't forget!' #like GENUINELY was that supposed to be a joke #the linked article also touches on how difficult actual organizing a workplace is which is nice #because they mention previous failed attempts in which organizers basically just handed out leaflets #and assumed the benefits would be obvious. which i think is basically the equivalent of posting an infographic on twitter #which is to say - not effective at all. Organizing is a LOT of work! Running an effective union even more so! #labor rights

some good news!! the spanish state's ministry of equality has finally passed one of the most progressive trans laws on the planet, shielded free and universal access to abortion and banned conversion therapy and genital surgery for intersex babies, among a lot of other feminist policies. the minister of equality irene montero gave a speech thanking spain's lgtb and trans associations for helping her draft these legislations. couldn't be more proud!!

#spain #trans #ill always prioritize queer&trans revolution over reformism but man. man these are good news #these are gonna make people's life so much more comfortable #i was lucky enough to live in andalucia where we have THEE most advanced regional legislation on trans rights #so i didnt have to fight too many people to access hrt and to change my name on legal docs #but other ppl on the spanish state have been suffering so fucking much #and yeah this law doesnt cover non binary people or migrants but the door is fucking open. its a step forward #and after this terrible terrible week #after the antitrans antisemite game & brianna's murder and so many rampant transphobia #it feels nice to get a win #to have someone in power be so unwaveringly supportive #the queer community in the spanish state is NEVER gonna forget this. never #anyways!!! #felicidades gente trans española!!!! nos vemos en el registro civil dkkskdkkdkxkdk #mine

I love Tumblr because nothing matters here truly. There are no influencers. Having followers doesn’t mean anything. It’s just a site where people post their sporadic thoughts and rb pretty pictures. Anyone who thinks any of this matters is woefully missing the point

#I joined tumblr for the aesthetics and now I’m here bc it’s the most low pressure social media to be on #Instagram is ppl’s highlight reel but Tumblr is where u see their pure thoughts unobstructed and I adore that #It’s very nice to have people to relate to and is def the main appeal to me but I don’t think there’s much more to it than that genuinely #Monetization on tumblr isn’t a thing and probably won’t be so it feels stupid to put more stake than necessary in it. Like you’re in the #Trenches over tumblr of all things. Embarrassing #I know chronically online people exist bc I have seen them in my or somebody else’s inbox but imagine waking up at 70 one day and the #Realization hitting u like a freight time that u wasted all ur time thinking tumblr. TUMBLR. This dying website. Has enough weight for u to #be sending anon hate or reviewing ppl’s blogs like they’re some kind of product. Brother this is licherally tumblr #I choose to laugh at this behavior than take it seriously bc absolutely no one is driving me crazy on my OWN blog. On tumblr dot com. #I refuse #I will do whatever I want forever etc

#persona 3 #persona 3 spoilers #minato arisato #makoto yuki #ryoji mochizuki #aigis #ryomina #lizzy does art #HELLO EVERYONE!!! march 5th is upon us again so i bring... my contribution for this year. my third year drawing for it! #i made the thumbnail for this a few weeks after last year's graduation day #i thought it would be fun to lean into the ryominaigis angle of graduation day (you could read this as minato/aigis if you like- #but i feel like most people would read it as ryoji/minato) #IN ANY CASE working on this made me very emotional over this game :') (specifically minato) #i really enjoy how p3 ends it's such a nice way of wrapping up the narrative's messages and themes #working on this. minato's kindness was at the forefront of my mind throughout the piece #and i really wanted to capture how. ultimately it was his decision to sacrifice himself- to do the great seal #while to an outsider's perspective it is. sad that minato passes. i think becoming the seal is something that minato- #actively welcomes. in the same way that death (ryoji) is a comfort to him because death was housed in him for Ten YearsTM #AND I ALSO GOT REALLY SAD OVER AIGIS TOO. i still get fucked up over how in fes's animated cutscene for 3/5 they portray- #her as human and not drawing the robot parts so i wanted to do something smilar here... #but also i am very sad on aigis's behalf because she discovers her humanity through minato and realizes what she- #wants to do and then. well. minato is like. he's ready to pass on (even if he's scared) and im like. OH MY GOD THIS TRIO GETS ME MESSED UP #this was more coherent in my head LOL BUT ough i like drawing p3 and working through my feelings about it... #anyway! happy (in quotations) march 5th. i love this game to bits. it's so fun to draw for this day every year and see how i've improved #if you've read all this thank you :) lizzy appreciates you all very much. mwah! <3

Artea: "What's your favorite memory with Fit?" It's probably off-stream moments, because Fit is super supportive.

Artea: I'm not going to talk much about Fit, because I don't want him to, you know, see what I say- like, not see everything that I say about him, but Fit is a super supportive person. I really enjoyed playing Ramon because… you know, just- because of how supportive Fit is.

Artea, Ramon's second admin, is live right now doing a Q&A session talking about their experience on the server.

#Artea #QSMP #Admins #March 21 2024 #Ramon #I missed most of the start #I hope posting this doesn't make people sad. #But I think what Art said about Fit is very nice #(Artea uses any pronouns btw!)

People are arguing that Martin Blackwood is a sexy man but not a Tumblr Sexyman and NEED I REMIND YOU that he's the only TMA character that canonically had two versions of himself talking and LOTS of people thought Martin and Also Martin should fuck. If that's not peak fuckin Sexyman right there idk what is

#CMON PEOPLE SELF SHIPPING IS LIKE A HUUUGGEEE PART OF SEXYMAN LORE #tma #martin blackwood #also silly goofy nice guy that also has a murderous streak??? peak sexyman #actually i should make a list of why he most qualifies...

[dimitrscu]

there are two types of elden ring fan:

the normal one

and then this guy

#the second guy just doesn’t like what he read #obviously fromsoft were lying #just like how they lie about malenia being undefeated or that the fight between her and radahn ended in a stalemate #everything’s a lie when it comes to miquella and malenia apparently #and yet people will bend over backwards and come up with the most elaborate shit #to try and paint certain other characters as mr nice guy who can do no wrong #truly the fandom of all time #bitch my girl did not go through hell and back dragging her wife all the way home just to get slandered like this #cleanrot knight finlay #malenia blade of miquella #elden ring

Robin chose Steve. Robin made the conscious and deliberate decision that she could and would trust Steve. She already liked him! She had fun working and bantering with him! They were already on their way to being weird little bffs and the torture just expedited the process. Steve chose Robin just the same! He thinks she's fun and cool and likes her so much! He chose to be honest and open with her too, putting himself out there.

Even though their interests on the surface level don't match why wouldn't they share them? Steve clearly caves when Robin wants to watch a movie he doesn't think he'll like, Robin can watch a March madness game or five.

Stop trying to take away their bond oh my god people can be close to more than one person!!! Their best friend doesn't have to be dismissive or mean or whatever in order for a romance to be special to them!

#if i have to see another fic or whatever that makes it seem like robin doesnt give a shit about what steve likes and talkes about im going #to scream and maybe even rampage #its nice to sit down and have someone who knows explain who the players are and what the stakes for this particular game!! #just because yall seem to not think anyone can be nutral towards sports doesnt mean people aren't #literally why is it so hard to believe robin would like to hear steve talk as much as steve likes to hear her talk #i am so close to telling some steddie shippers to not look at steve or robin or their friendship because some of yall do Not get it. #its like you can see them go 'have to make sure eddie is the most perfect specialest boy for steve...well that means robin doesn't Get Him ' #or 'robin ignores him/dismisses his interests/isnt told everything happening in his life' like okay dont ever touch them again thanks #robin is steves specialest sunshine cupcake goober girl. steve is robins bestest happy times sweet funnyman. dont u dare take that away. #omce again tsgs longer than the post but ah well. #stobin #platonic stobin #robin buckley #steve harrington #stranger things #finda's rambles #steve and robin #this is a scheduled post just to jazz things up i guess #but seriously some of yall need to STOP MESSIGN WITH STOBIN

There is a lot of things that are facinating to me about cletho dynamic, but maybe the funniest thing to me is the progression of it all, because I remember Cleo saying that they didn't really interact a lot with Etho before Last life, so really most of the whole dynamic developed just in the last two years and it went through so much so fast.

First their Last life alliance which was a whole thing on it's own, then it was the whole thing of Etho being deathly afraid of Cleo, then they went to being extremely mean to each other in a very funny way and just the way they were while playing TCG is it's own beautiful thing, then Limited life divorce happened, and now we have whatever Secret life presented us with. They literally have done it all,

#and combine this with Ethubs 10+ years friendship/fangirling and Cledubs that is. a beautiful thing. #which makes clethubs like the best trio ever. the chemistry is immaculate. all three by themselves are just. such individuals. #and together they are just the funniest and most brilliant people and just i could watch them play together all day long #can you tell how much tcg i watched #im not saying this all just in a ship sence i just use the pair names because i think its nice to use them like that btw #i usually use em like that #hermitcraft #ethoslab #zombiecleo #cletho #clethubs #for the tags #last life smp #limited life smp #secret life smp

her name is Tensai and she has a socmed dependence problem

#Oc #2023 #doodles #original #she draws and has a lot of followers #I think maybe around 60k #But she has like 0 friends irl and online #So she’s constantly very lonely which worsens her socmed dependency #Also she’s very prideful so she would never admit she wants friends #She also pretends to be super bright and cheerful on the outside but on the inside she is constantly yelling #I’m lov her #Most people get tired of her pridefulness and leaves most of the time so she doesnt have good experiences with building relationships #Tho its mostly her fault tho tbh #LIKE SHE TRIES HER BEST but eventually her facade of being a nice bright cheerful gal just comes off
