Drive Tranza mad as fast as you can.

Step on him, stab him, spit in his face,

Send him to the asylum - his sanity's erased.

Welcome twitter users fleeing the absolute cesspool that twitter is going to become as Musk gets his way with his awful ideas! Things are better here, and hey, if you're an old user coming back, they've actually improved shit!

Here's a list of important notes for tumblr usage:

Don't censor words, particularly trigger warnings. Tumblr has a very functional blacklist (found in your settings) that can filter by post content and/or tags. But the word needs to actually be present for the filter to work. Censoring words like r*pe is actively harmful to people attempting to avoid those topics.

Use tags liberally, you have as many as you want, but don't tag unrelated shit. You'll get reported for spam really fast if you do.

Set an avatar and reblog things, otherwise you look like a bot.

You are not obligated to have your real name anywhere in your blog/bio/etc. Most people here use handles.

You can turn your ask box & anons on or off if you are experiencing any kind of harassment. You can also turn off replies on your posts, and turn off reblogs if you need to.

Tumblr has keyboard shortcuts on desktop. You can find them listed under the blog/account menu. Go learn them, they make life so much easier.

Reblog things. Seriously. Also set your dash in chronological order. You can maintain several blogs if need be, but reblogging things is normal, expected, and how you pass along stuff you enjoy.

The majority of people aren't reading your card/dni/blog bio before they reblog stuff. Posts get passed around and the OP often isn't the focal point of the post. Learn to live with it.

Fic writers: you have unlimited words, do not post fics as images.

Reblogs with comments/tags are encouraged. It's not like twitter's QRTs. The OP will see everything there. Know that before you comment.

You have a queue. This means you can set posts up ahead of time to run while you're busy. You can also completely ignore this and just spam your follows whenever you're online. Both are very commonplace

It's not weird to go through someone's blog and reblog old posts. That's actually very normal. If you add /chrono to the end of a tumblr tab then you can view an

"Spam" liking and reblogging isn't a thing that is a problem. This is invented by people I do not understand. If someone claims this is a problem, they can learn how to turn off or manage their notifications.

The only form of promotional posts that tumblr has is "blaze". There is no ad targeting or any kind of invasions of privacy with blaze. You just get subjected to w/e someone wants to show you. If you want to give tumblr some money to help the company keep going and provided an alternative to twitter, it's not a bad way to do it. You can make people look at cat photos.

Also, we have fun colors here. Plus actual formatting ability. Use it!

People lie on here for fun. Don't accept everything you see at face value, check the reblogs/replies or google something if you're skeptical! Critical thinking is good!

Above all else, be chill, use your block button if you need to, and have fun.

Rest in peace to Billy Kametz.

To his family, friends, and everyone who knew him personally, I am so sorry for your loss. I can’t imagine your grief, but we grieve with you.

He was an immensely talented man and the world is dimmer without him.

Do you ever think you'll stop drawing fanart? No offense it just seems like the kind of thing you're supposed to grow out of. I'm just curious what your plans/goals are since it isn't exactly an art form that people take seriously.

Ah, fanart. Also known as the art that girls make.

Sad, immature girls no one takes seriously. Girls who are taught that it’s shameful to be excited or passionate about anything, that it’s pathetic to gush about what attracts them, that it’s wrong to be a geek, that they should feel embarrassed about having a crush, that they’re not allowed to gaze or stare or wish or desire. Girls who need to grow out of it.

That’s the art you mean, right?

Because in my experience, when grown men make it, nobody calls it fanart. They just call it art. And everyone takes it very seriously.

Just read a Cracked article about kappas

Here’s the link: https://www.cracked.com/article_33043_meet-the-kappa-the-mythological-turtleman-who-steals-souls-from-butts.html

I don’t know whether to laugh or facepalm. This entire article is just “OMG MYTHOLOGY IS NOT GLAMOROUS!“ Yeah, tell me something I don’t know.

If kappas unsettle you, then you don’t know anything about unsettling creatures.

Like yachichna from Russian mythology. The poor crone literally has legs made of shit.

Or another Russian monster, anchutka, that possesses people and makes them rape chickens.

I couldn’t make it up if I tried.

It finally happened.

I never thought it would happen, and yet here it is.

I’ve received my first dick pic today.

You can get away from responsibility for your mistakes as long as you say “do it better, dipshit“. For example:

“Doctor, my baby is dead! You killed my baby!“

“Do it better, dipshit“.

Good evening, beloved mutual. Today I, Cactus, woukd like to ask you some some questions. What do you think makes Odd Taxi so striking that makes ir stand out so easily? Is it the dialogue, both the acting and script? The multiple influence of both sound mixing and the soundtrack? Maybe the animation style coupled with the designs? Or what about the story of being such a mix of genres and styles?

good evening beloved mutual :D

for me it is the acting & script. its naturally flowing conversation & attention to timing is what immediately stood out to me when i first watched the show. anime tends to have its own kind of language which includes very exaggerated mannerisms. and of course this exaggeration in exists like, everywhere, in any kind of storytelling at any time in any place, and theres a reason for it -- its an expressionist view of emotion, not realistic yet an accurate reflection of how it feels to like. feel intensely as a human being. But unfortunately its often used as a substitute for subtlety and well-earned characterization....

continued below (spoiler-free)

i was watching another anime today, it has very exaggerated main characters. and while i was watching i was like wow i am learning nothing about them. 5 episodes in and theyve done almost nothing but reiterate the same things we already learned about them in the first episode. they are literally just yelling their personalities out, while this dialogue is not based in good enough jokes and scenarios for it to work well (cuz it can work well! but it didnt here). in this case its just a bad substitute for care put into writing

oddtaxi rules because that care is 100% there. everything is so deliberate. such a short anime with so much going on in it cannot afford to waste time, and oddtaxi doesnt! with conversation being the driving factor of its storytelling, it's key that its there with purpose. oddtaxi totally nails this -- pretty much all dialogue has a direction, all of it can be justified narratively, none of it is superfluous. and the fact that the dialogue is more realistic is super instrumental in this. since most of the characters' dialogue isnt exaggerated, the times when they show a lot of emotion are that much more impactful. you get a main character like odokawa who speaks pretty monotone & with natural conversational flow, and characters with unique/exaggerated speech habits are much more noticeable. imai speaks noticeable more like an anime character - which feels totally right, he's an idol otaku! yano talking like no one else in anything fucking ever is so much more funny when he is speaking like this in a world full of relatively normally-speaking people. and the contrast between him and odokawa's speech styles is really interesting. odokawa's has a lot of give to it; it's certainly detached, but he's a great conversationalist and the flow of his speech allows people space to talk. while yano's is totally self-centered, leaves awkward silences, no one can get a word in edgewise. his conversation has flow, literally, its fucking rapping, but his flow is with himself only & is abrupt in the context of talking with anyone else. and thats just the tip of the iceberg, you really could analyze all characters dialogue and find something really interesting + poignant to the show's themes

but yeah, oddtaxi just has. tons of amazing qualities about it. but dialogue is #1 for me, in what makes it great, and what makes it stand out so much. im so glad so much attention to it was paid, with the entire development process changing due it; dialogue was recorded first and animation was done along to it later. this is so characters' speech and expressions would work together well, never be at odds. this is very nonstandard in anime, and definitely took a lot of money to do, but it was totally necessary and is so awesome!!!

thank you for the ask ^_^
