i was tagged by sab @dahliaaz to list my top 9 albums of 2022 so here it is!

1. Faith in the Future by Louis Tomlinson

ok so it would be sacrilegious if i didn’t have this as my no.1 with this url so here she is! I wasn’t sure what louis was gonna do for lt2 but this was such a pleasant surprise! no skips but my fav song is only on a specific version of the album 💔

2. Un Verano Sin Ti by Bad Bunny

i had this on repeat for MONTHS. i’m a huge fan of raggaeton and urbano etc, and benito just does it so good. he explores many areas of latam music and one song might have 3 distinct parts to it, each being amazing

3. Slow Up by Meyru

so i loved this bands debut and they just kinda did a similar thing for their second and i love it! it’s a little sad, very pathetic, but altogether relaxing. my indie blorbos

4. Traumazine by Megan Thee Stallion

megaaaaan. i’ll listen to anything she puts out tbh. the album was solid as were all the ones before and knowing some of the context behind the songs, i commend her for talking about what she experienced sometimes i spend a whole day listening to her entire discography, i like writing or doing hw with her in the bg cus it just puts me in a good, productive mood.

5. Dawn FM by The Weeknd

a lot of hits came out of this album and i think it was for good reason! i love the disco and funk influences. i’d say he does it better than a lot of other pop artists and i recognized a sample from the edm group Justice so that was fun <3 I also really liked the story and song transitions! i remember crying on my first listen, anything about mortality just gets me tearing up istg

6. Laurel Hell by Mitski

This was on my frequent rotation, I’m not like.. emotionally attached to her like some people are i just like her music djsksj so this and many of her older songs are a habit for me. very cathartic to sing along to and was a companion for many bus rides.

7. Dharma by Sebastian Yatra

i’ll admit i’m super biased bc i’ve been listening to him since 2014 but i really like his voice and i saw him in concert and the album is REALLY good live. also amor pasajero was my top song on this years wrapped… it’s a bop

8. Sunflower by Briston Maroney

ok i haven’t listened to this one as much as the others BUT i can count on briston for solid lyricism and indie rock musicality

9. Copia by Eluvium

this was released in 2007 but was a huge comfort to me this year when i was stressed and just didn’t want to hear words or people talking. it’s considered “ambient” but it’s way more than white noise to me! consider at least giving amreik a listen #AMREIKSWEEP

tagging: @bangthedoldrums @pinknoisemp3 @wutheringheights78 @daffodilsfortomorrow @alamedast @sunsetlesbo and anyone else who might want to do this! no pressure to do it <3

i miss poptropica so much

[faygelehh]

I DEEPLY miss the era of being an online artist and being able to have a page with detailed customization and SLATHERING it with your ocs, your art, your friends, other artists you looked up to, etc . And striving to make it really POP, but like, not as a form of… “branding” or trying to sell your aesthetic, back then it was literally just “hiii look at my ocs :3c i made this page myself with basic html and i had fun!! Look look look!!”, i miss pagedolls, i miss pixel art, i miss old school deviantart and tumblr where we actually cared about each other’s page themes , i miss artists being a more intertwined community instead of being forced to focus on what is the most “palatable” !! I wish we didn’t have to sell an easy-to-swallow “brand” to survive, i just want to create, and i miss when there were platforms FOR artists, yknow?

sorry for the like/rb spam i was hyperfixating 🥺👉👈

haha that's okay!! I don't mind, I kind of like it when people do that honestly, it usually reminds me of art or posts I might have forgotten about. I really like that about tumblr compared to twitter, feels like things I post aren't destined for the void 48 hours after posting

[butchdykekondraki]

why are you telling little "dyke" girls that's it's bad to say "men DNI"? why is it directed at little girls/girls specifically? why are you using language that invokes childhood ("little____girls") and a homophobic slur to address, what I hope, is an adult lesbian audience? why the focus on youth in your language in telling women/girls that saying "men DNI" is TERFY? men (grown adults) shouldn't be talking to "little girls" online. I'm confused about the contrast between "men" and "little.... girls." not saying you're a creep, but are you safe for minors to follow?

this has got to be bait you Cannot be fucking serious with me right now. surely you dont actually fucking think like this

I think 'cringe culture' is the next one that needs to be put up on the high shelf so people can't reach it. It's lost almost all it's intended meaning to me when people say 'cringe culture is dead' now because people use that deflect any criticism of poor behavior/bad faith takes. It's become not about, 'I like what I like, who cares!', or 'my blog, I post what I want!' and more about people expecting not only that their niche head-cannons will be respected, but that they will be validated and adopted by everyone in a ~fandom~, including creators and actors.

It's become an excuse to linger around in a fandom you've grown to dislike it and to spew negativity because, 'cringe culture is dead so I can rage about my ship not going cannon'. Because no one seems to understand anymore that they can walk away from a story at any time if it no longer makes them happy. Or even that their specific ideas for where a story should go are not necessarily even good, or the story the creators wanted to tell.

It's become a weird shield for people to wield when they are told that maybe, possibly, they may need to take a step back and log off and that it's not that deep. Cringe culture is dead so it's okay to be absolutely unhinged about something, even as a full-grown adult. There is no line between healthy enjoyment and unhinged obsession anymore cause 'cringe culture is dead!'

I think it's also fed into the whole belief that 'cannon doesn't actually matter do whatever you want!' crowd which, again, devolves into demanding that certain niche head-cannons or fannon takes are more important than cannon and people thinking it's okay and even correct to bitch at creators and/or actors.

maybe my mother doesn’t realise it but when i message her for the first time in a few days to share something i’m excited about, her immediately suggesting i use it as an opportunity to look for a new job makes me not want to share things like this with her anymore

[marble-pop]

OH DEAR GOD HES BEEN ROBLOX-IFIED!

Okay okay, in my defense I didn't realize I bought the wrong hair until it was too late (i made this cosplay back in October) so yeah that's 70 robux down the drain

And plus, it's rlly hard (4 me at least) to find specific items for my avatar/ cosplays

I'll probably consider playing roblox again if my art procrastination starts eating me up

Woulda captioned this " life is roblox " but I alr used that a hundred times and it was gettin' old

Also kinda gettin' off topic here but did anyone catch the new videos about the full " the last Monday " game being released?

[fantasy-costco]

Ramble vent in the tags about. Tumblr.

[detectivenyx]

no bro trust me THIS time when we send loads of feedback into the staff they'll listen and actually implement the change. yeah nah i promise that if we @ staff on every post imaginable they gotta listen eventually. no i don't plan to leave the webbedsite i plan to send death threats to anyone who used the blaze system. no if we @ support and @ wip and @ staffsecretaccount and @ and @ and @ with enough death threats they'll listen!!!! no i can't tell you any time it actually worked but if we reviewbomb the app on the app store and threaten to shoot the office dog and eat its brains they'll get rid of tumblr live and unfuck the dashboard and stop flagging trans womens' selfies as nsfw content and ban all the bad people and give us all lovely little chocolates :))) bro you gotta trust me it'll work this time

[saintajax]

everyday I get a little bit closer to purposefully tripping over and bouncing my skull off the pavement because I don't want to be able to comprehend anymore

[derpinette]
