Hi ! Tumblr is behaving really strangely right now, and with the rumours of it shutting down I'm a little bit scared that it might be the end of the hellsite ? I doubt it to be honest, but in the scenario in which I never hear of you again, I want to let you know that I'm happy to have been your Tumblr mutual, even though we rarely interacted.

Have a wonderful life. ^^

Awww tyvm friend! You as well 🥰

OP this belongs in a gilded frame above the mantle

One of my favorite approaches to painting is to select a 'domestic' scene, many times hinted at within a narrative but not directly described by an author. This is one such example with Bilbo writing his will for Frodo and contemplating keeping the One Ring. Frodo's Inheritance 11" x 14" Oil on panel private collection

See also: literally any hand movement within their vicinity is an obvious sign for "ATTACK MODE ENGAGE"

One thing you gotta watch out about mimicking cats is that going “Mrrrrp” means “Hello baby I’m your mom” but going “MrrrrrOW” means “I’m single and ready to mingle and I’m inviting you to bite me in my general head / neck area right now”. Easy grammar mistake to make.

There are three cybertrucks in my town, which is four more cybertrucks than I'd like to see. I would like to see negative cybertrucks. I would like to see a void where a cybertruck might be and realize that there is not a cybertruck there.

I don't think I've ever seen a danger noodle sulk before

recently deep cleaned Liku's tank and gave it a whole rescape 💛 he was a hissy pissy baby brat the entire time, like heaven forbid I keep him thriving

One of the most frustrating things about being ADHD is the way hyperfixations and skill levels work.

So I, an ADHD person, will get obsessed with A Thing. I will research, I will practice. I'll check out library books, watch YouTube videos, seek out podcasts, all to learn everything I can about The Thing.

Thiat Thing is often a skill or hobby. Painting, writing, candlemaking, baking, mixology, tea blending.

But the thing with ADHD is that you'll be obsessed with it only to a certain skill level. Something where all the mystery is gone. It's not as fun once the learning part is over and it's just boring practice to get better.

Then abruptly, you'll lose interest and move to another fixation.

That skill level you've earned may be higher than your average person with a passing interest. But it's also lower than someone who specializes in said thing, who has put in those hard hours of practice and work.

So you start just forming this miscellaneous collection of things that you're good enough at to earn some praise, but still leave you feeling like you're just never *quite* good enough at anything because you can't just choose anything.

And you want to pick a Thing. To find Your Thing. The thing that fits, that you can finally excel at. But you just can't seem to.

Just found out I was thirsty not by receiving a signal from my body about it but by dozing off and dreaming about cold water from different alluring angles. This is great. I think all my wants and needs should be revealed to me this way

I'm back from work youll never believe what happened

in the spirit of diy or die I'd like to remind yall that there's people, usually small local businesses whose is literally fix clothing

I had a pair of boots that i wore religiously almost every day for five years; had the soles fixed twice by a shoesmaker for less than half of what a new pair would've cost

almost alm of my zippers have broken at least once, local seamstress fixes them for like 10 bucks

yes, making your clothes yourself is good - both in spirit and economically speaking - but you can still pay people for fixes you can't do yourself. it's still punk af to support small traders

hi do you have any tips for people just joining tumblr? people on a /lgbt/ discord say it's where they're moving but I've never used it. is there like a 'introduce yourself' place or something

you’re gonna want to lean into an inscrutable gimmick that alienates everyone and acts as a funhouse mirror distortion of your personality whilst prompting 2,000 randos to send you asks that aren’t funny
