now that jacksepticeye is on tumblr again do you think we can start making unprompted requests for #deep life advice like people do with richard siken on twitter. @therealjacksepticeye how do i motivate myself to get through my gaming backlog instead of just playing 2048 cupcakes on my browser religiously

Don't you fucking dare compare TikTok to Vine. ITS NOT THE SAME THING

Vine went away cuz it couldn't afford to stay active

TikTok went away because congress RIPPED it away from us. It let to many activist groups connect faster than ever before; it let too many voices of dissent be heard louder than ever before; and most importantly it was more popular than Facebook, Twitter( cuz fuck that X bullshit), and instagram.

I understand losing both of these platforms hurt, I was alive for vine's death to. But don't let yourself be fooled into a falce equivalence.

Vine died

TikTok was murdered.

Well. It's back. But not gonna lie it's unsettling how I called it. I figured it wasn't going to be that long before it got back up, since the ban said it was temporary. It's more of the reason behind it, it's a strategy to get the younger population on the side of the president.

But honestly, there's nothing he could do that would ever change my opinion about him. 😒 Hate that man and all the billionaires that are close to him.

The intense muscle memory from opening Tik tok when music isn't hitting the way I need it to only to have not work because of ban in America is. Like. Woah. 😟 My app!

I've been keeping it off my face as much as I can on video, but I'm livid about the TikTok ban.

I have about 100,000 followers on that app. I joined during the pandemic. I was lucky to find a community full of incredible people, many of whom I now consider lifelong friends. Because of the community I found on that app, I found space to experiment with my gender presentation. I was able to come out as nonbinary (to feel SAFE ENOUGH to come out as nonbinary) because of that app.

I've seen a few Tumblr posts in which people gloat they never got into TikTok. Good for you. You won't suffer emotionally, and that makes you feel superior. But if you have no concept of what that app has meant for more than 170,000,000 Americans (that's half of all Americans!), many of whom do not have access to community in physical spaces, kindly sit down.

The ban constitutes the largest mass layoff in American history. We will lose billions of dollars in our domestic economy. Over 7 million small businesses are shuttering because of the ban. You will feel the effect of that whether or not you were on the app. If you can't grasp the significance of that, again: kindly sit down.

The language of the TikTok ban has set a dangerous precedent for the American government to shutter any tech platforms they deem "dangerous" for arbitrary, undisclosed, nebulous reasons. This will affect Americans' ability to organize, spread information, and protest. They have effectively banned our right to assembly in digital spaces. This is the greatest infringement of free speech that has ever occurred in the United States. If you can't grasp the significance of that, either: kindly sit down.

This is bigger than "never falling for the TikTok craze." This is an enormous governmental overreach sanctioned by our own Supreme Court. It's bigger than teens doing silly dances you can sneer at from your smug high horse.

And if you can't grasp that: Kindly. Sit. Down.

“You’re the first person I’d ever shown my heart to. why was it that you had to be the reason no one will see it again, Partner?”

I made these not to long ago actually! Just never got around to sharing them but man, I got attached to this little jester. 😒

A friend of mine gifted me chapter 4 & 6 the other day and it just made me wanna make a more human design for BitterGiggle since he's my favorite. Probably gonna draw him and Toadster more 🤭

Not me writing again 🤭

Recent art! This time it's also some orginal characters!

One thing no one tells you about art school, is the amount of time you don't spend drawing (at least for my degree 😔)

I also lowkey can't wait to talk more about these characters, it's like a festering idea in my head, sadly tho. I've been sucked back into MHA as of late and that's taken up a lot.of my headspace (working on an su for that 🤭)

[ink-vax]

Hehe more character sheets! Plus a design for Twinrova, so there's that! We also have a name for the au 👀

When the Zelda au starts being an actual au.

I've been working on so much for this silly little idea when having free time from art school. I'm hella hyped how it's turning out!!
