#so many on tumblr are struggling

[buttfacemcgee]

hey since you gave tumblr money when it’s literally confirmed to have gained money from reverse racism ads and censored a trans man’s post for “female presenting nipples”, can you look up mutual aid in the search bar and give all the money you can to those in need

Sometimes I like having money myself and need it so no thanks

#a lot of them are scams #a lot of them when they cross my dash i literally cant give anything #my current car needs some work done and i need to save up for another cause i dont think shes going to last another year #what people do with their own money is their own fucking business and i have no reason to justify my spending habits #to someone who doesnt even have the balls to get off anon #if i had a big disposable income sure i would go nuts giving people money #but i only have a part time job dude. i still live with my parents. im still on welfare payments and im disabled. #i need every cent i get #sometimes small payments are made for joy #and again i dont have to fuckin justify it to anyone. #i want a pizza? ill get myself a pizza. i spend $7/month to not get annoying ads down my dash? i dont get the pizza #go after people who actually have enough money that $50 means nothing to them #and yes i mean aud #by 'a lot of them are scams' i do NOT mean the majority of course #theres just enough where you need to be cautious #how about you go petition richer people like redditors or whatever #so many on tumblr are struggling #ask #anon #i cant ever use this website again 4 promoting reverse racism ads #how dare they say white people cant dance #🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

I'm catching up with comms so in the meantime here is a page from KF 2022 PDF, which I drew to substitute for a NSFW post!

I hope you will have a great Monday <3

52 weeks of KICK Fridays - what is it?

It's 3 PDFs made out of my Patreon content where I published Klance each Friday (Kick Fridays) since 2020. You can buy them by lowest price Patreons could pay each year to see it (1/month) on my shop (payhip.com/mezzy). I publish something for each sold PDF 💞

#klance #laith #hi tumblr! #ughhh i ckecked out my folders and ive seen so many cute art i feel like o javent shared or #am reluctant to share because its unfinished #SO MANY its a struggle #thinking posting maybe just pilesnof doodles #though that poses a threat to a structure i had of trying my best to actually finish arr but #maybe there is an equilibrium in it somewhere #anyway let me know if we enjoy content or tag the year #if someone mentions renesAINcE im going to start spamming you with old art reblogs #😆 #its already tuesdsy when im posting btw #but draft has been done on monday so we are going with it #no one will know

Marzipan <3

I was immediately drawn to Marz I’m my first exocolonist playthrough mostly cause of her being the biggest kid and I loved that she was still considered pretty. Her whole thing with her augment kind of explaining some of why how she was how she was is so interesting to me.

(she also was kind of the worst as a child but what I adore about her is how much she can grow, also she actually likes it when you aren’t a yes man.)

I have an urge to do fun typography with exocolonist illustrations but my Adobe fonts weren’t loading on procreate and it’d probably be better just to use illustrator instead but I just kinda fave up for now.

#cal was the second one I was drawn to because he also had a connection to sols parents #so he related to their grief #and the dad stuff particularly hit hard cause the dad literally looks my dad AND my dad irl was a farmer for many years #fairmerthefarmer art #i was a teenage exocolonist fanart #I struggled with this side profile for so long with face proportions and I think it still may be off #but we are just calling it good here. #i was a teenage exocolonist #iwatex #artists on tumblr #my art <3 #character art #marzipan #digital illustration #procreate #fanart #gaming #cozy gaming

Commission! (PHIGHTING!)

WOOHOOO finished commission for @/.r9cket on discord :3! This was a really fun project to work on + I learned a lot of things with it!

commissions are currently closed as I’m backed up at the moment with other owed art pieces and art fight reference sheets! I’ll probably open them in a few weeks once I get done with some of these other projects I have, but for now they are closed indefinitely >:3!

#YEAAAAAH #OH MY GOD I CAN NOT SAY IT ENOUGH THIS WAS A BLAST #I was kind of struggling in the beginning stages of it but once I got it down then it was super fun #I loved getting to play around with the poses and the expressions and this is such a silly combo of characters I love it #“Hey hyperlaser do you wanna invest in brokercoin?” #“Do I…. Know you?????” #Anyways YIPPEEEE #I got a ref sheet comm to work on and then I’m gonna be burning through my art right refs #I don’t have too many at the moment but they are of my biograft oc’s and I do tend to struggle with biograft full bodies so. #I’ll see how this goes LMAO #Hopefully I won’t loose motivation like the last time :’DDD #art #artists on tumblr #phighting fanart #phighting! #digital art #phighting #phighting roblox #phighting art #roblox phighting #roblox #phighting! roblox #phighting! art #phighting! kin #phighting broker #the broker phighting #hyperlaser phighting #hyperlaser kin #rocket phighting #rocket

nothing to see here, just the party rogue reporting to the party tactician after a scouting mission... being that close and shirtless is mandatory. for party morale of course.

I’m finally biting the bullet and contacting a therapist today after being ambivalent ab it for so long… this hellsite has its many disadvantages but one thing I can say is it has truly helped me be less scared of pursuing therapy. Silver lining etc etc

#And to be clear I have nothing against therapy. I’ve seen it do wonders for other people #I think the reason it’s a point of defeat (just a little) for me to be like ok. I need a therapist. Is bc I’m admitting to myself that I #need one to begin w. And I get it’s not healthy but I always liked to think I could handle anything by myself #That was even the whole point of this blog. It was supposed to serve as a conduit for these feelings #And I’m not saying I don’t have a support system. I do. I have many wonderful friends #But I struggle to be vulnerable at all tbh and whenever I am I’m guilty ab it bc #I understand so many people have busy lives & I feel like an emotional burden on them by venting #Despite them telling me that it’s totally fine. Obvi a therapist is literally paid to listen so no guilt there #And I think that’s what I need #I’m not like on the brink of a psychotic break or anything but it’s just little things. I think it’d be nice to sit in someone’s office for #One hour a week and just go. That did bother me actually. I am tired actually. I do feel that way actually. #Rather than just burying my feelings w school and a busy schedule #I don’t think therapy will make me any less of a workaholic anytime soon but it’ll at least allow me to slow down one hour a week #And also not bottle shit up so fuckin much #But ya all of this is to say I’m drafting the email to her RIGHT now . #Starting the day off strong by oversharing on tumblr dot com

Every boop I get and every boop I send is a little piece of love being sent electronically and boy did I need that today *boops you*

#boop #just know that if you received any type of boop from me that i struggled through so many errors in order to send it #also i love you all this is just a beautiful reminder of how community focused tumblr is #if we're strangers and we've booped in passing i love you #if we're mutuals then i love you and i boop you #if we're mutuals-in-law i still love you and i boop you

Confession: During Baizhu's first banner in May 2023, I whaled for Kaveh.

During my pulls, I received

Baizhu (guaranteed)

Keqing

Baizhu again (C1

and after approx 100 pulls....Kaveh.

total of $200 spent for obtaining a Kaveh.

My biggest sin of 2023. I needed to confess it here on tumblr. Thank you.

#genshin impact #kaveh #genshin kaveh #genshin #whaling #my friends are witness to this #they saw me struggle so hard #in the group it has become our inside joke #i can't leave 2023 without confessing this on tumblr #i honestly dont know how many pulls it took to get a kaveh #i do have c3 because i got another one from the baizhu banner a few days later. and some on standard #i got c6 candace before kaveh #i love him but he needed to have mercy on me #it's cause i used alhaitham to pull with...wasn't it #biggest sin in genshin is to whale for a four star and i committed sin

redraw of Soren's official art from Radiant Dawn (because I needed to practice my rendering/pretty anime boy drawing skills, and if you follow me @itssquidbian you'll know that i'm obsessed with the tellius games again :3)

#soren fire emblem #fe9/10 #path of radiance #radiant dawn #tellius #fe10 #fe9 #fire emblem #fanart #redraw #my art #artists on tumblr #this could be a lot cooler and interesting but tbh im not skilled enough yet. getting there slowly tho #truthfully part of why I did this was because I was REALLY struggling to draw him in a way I was happy with #also this was uhhh too many layers. I hit 100 and thats just unacceptable #so next time imma work on getting that number down lmao

[blueskittlesart]

me, thinking that i have at least a base level understanding of botw: :)

blue, about to write a 1,000+ word essay that is going to completely revamp my understanding of the game and interpretation of its events: bada bing bada boom

i dont know how you do it. i am incredibly impressed and using all of this for fic inspiration. keep writing

every time someone asks me how i do this shit i have to regrettably inform them that the real genuine answer is that i am fucking insane. my 2 passions in life are writing and video games and the place where the 2 converge fascinates me to no end and i am that special kind of crazy that is capable of latching onto something and not thinking about anything else for 10 years. so. the only thing i have cared about deeply for the last several years of my life has been the way video games are written and constructed. and zelda is one of the most interestingly constructed franchises i have found to date. these games are just like. the absolute perfect story for my brain to work with and i truly do not know who i would be without them. and i am genuinely incredibly grateful that ive been able to build a platform where people like. CARE about what i have to say and take the time to ask me to think about the games because like. i would be doing it ANYWAY but knowing that there are people who actually read my analysis and appreciate the amount of thought i put into this stuff makes me really happy lol

#i sincerely think video games are an art form and that so many stories benefit from being told interactively via video games #and i'm especially fascinated with the way loz chooses to tell its stories because the games are almost always designed so that the player #actively makes every decision in the storyline even though every game only has one preset ending. that's SO COOL. #ive found myself frustrated recently by rpgs that are super cutscene heavy and i was struggling to articulate why until i went back and #looked critically at the way zelda games are designed and i realized that there isn't a single cutscene in loz that openly takes away the #player's autonomy. cutscenes are almost always reserved for dialog or the beginnings of fight scenes but link almost never makes choices #without the player's input and that's a huge part of what keeps the games engaging! YOU are link. he's not a vessel you occasionally #control. he is you. his decisions are always yours. #and that's generally easier to do with a less complex storyline but the way botw kept that autonomy despite its complex story is SO clever #by making the cinematic cutscenes MEMORIES there's never any percieved loss of autonomy because the player understands that this is #something that has already happened so obviously there's no way they can alter link's choices. that's SO SMART #ANYWAY. i didn't mean for this to be a tag essay about video game mechanics sorry but tldr i am so so so passionate about this LOL #if you cant tell. very few people irl will listen to me talk for this long. this is why i love tumblr #asks
