#I just don’t post for validation like I sometimes used to.🤔 I only post when I want to share my joy with my oomfs and buds

[spectacledraws]

I threw together an art summary bc I don’t think I’ve really made one before! maybe once kind of? Art-wise this was kind of an inconsistent year I guess but very fun, I mainly got oc-pilled toward the end of the year which is awesome and that’s continuing into this next year :3

[kaarijatits]

about reblogs... first of all I absolutely love your's and everyone else art or anything they create and share and I'm super thankful for having a chance to see it 💚

one - what other's have mentioned before is general social media usage where 'like' is the primary reaction.

two - is a bit personal... it's how I feel and maybe I'm the only one, but for me it's that I'm terribly afraid of being perceived (that's why I'm on anon :'l ). Kä's community seems like a very tight and very talented group of friends mainly having conversations in the tags, and I often feel like if I don't have anything neat to say - then I'm just barging into a friends group uninvited.. even if I know it's completely unreasonable and not true. It's very hard to shake off the feeling that if I reblog too much, OP will look at me and think "ahhh this weirdo again". So I'd use likes instead, because mostly no one notices who gives likes so it's much easier, but then it seems everyone hates likes so I stopped leaving them too (´･･`)

what I wanted to say maybe for some people it's not that they don't appreciate the art and the effort, but more internal lurker struggles that make it very hard to react appropriately?.. (I'm trying to work on that)

hi anon, thanks for sharing your thoughts with me <3 makes me so happy to know you enjoy my art <3<3

i made that post because i'm just a small blog, so i get it, but then i saw art from -in my opinion- popular artists with several notes that are mostly likes, i thought it was just the kä fandom. I come from a huge fandom where 1k notes post are very common, and today i checked again and the proportion of rb and likes are similar (or worst? 200 rb and 800 likes 🥴), so... it’s just how tumblr works i guess

However, on tumblr what keeps a post alive are reblogs, but it’s fine if you don’t like something or just ignore it, we can’t expect to everyone to love what we do, but sometimes (more than i'd like to admit) i think “maybe is not good enough”. Personally, when people share their thoughts in the tags, it makes me so happy (I always read what people say on my art, it’s one of my favorite things to do, but i rarely respond because i don’t want to be annoying 💀...)

Being afraid of being perceived is something i can relate to, sometimes it feels like everyone here are friends but you... but tumblr is make for reblogs and silly tags, you can talk whatever, interactions are completely fine, rarely I've seen people getting mad because reblogs 🤔

If you reblog a lot from me, definitely i won’t think your weird, of course i’ll notice you but i'll think fondly of you 💕 because you enjoyed something i made, and sometimes when people say that my art cheer them up a little, it's one of the best feelings...

and well don’t worry too much about it, if you don’t want to say anything in the tags is okay you still can reblog, with a little heart or emoji or simple nothing <3 and if you don't want to reblog at all is valid... first of all, take care of yourself and what is more comfortable for you <3

Not me still getting unfollowed by „leftists“ for my posts on insta 🫠 like if after 3 months and all the info out there you still side with a state that’s been continually under a fascist government for decades (and even opposing israelis say the racism is systemic, its internalized in their entire society rather than in just a few „spoilt apples“) or think staying neutral does anything… hon you are no better than the oppressor. You support fascism. I shared several stories by jewish creators yesterday who debunked the „safe haven for jewish people“ myth that is more like an ad slogan israel put out into circulation about itself (additionally fueled through the controversial nation state law passed in 2018) rather than based on facts, on the contrary - due to the forced military service and ongoing clashes it’s actually a very dangerous place (and how can you REALLY be SAFE like that, nobody would be) - and think you are fighting antisemitism by unfollowing me while not even listening to those creators but continuing to throw every single jewish person into one pot with israel, which is a fucking clichee and generalization - isn’t that literally what antisemitism is? Assuming generalized things about one ethnicity/religion legitimately will go for every one of them, like „knowing one means knowing all“? 🤔 Rather supporting a nation state with those laws and ideologies than to start calling and working towards safety ANYWHERE? plus you’re blatantly disregarding all the work organizations like JVP or also singular individuals have done to fight that stigma like idk that seems more antisemitic to me than still defending a state that bombs a small strip of land consisting of mostly kids in the name of „jewish safety“ then arrests Jewish Israeli citizens when they dare to criticize the military and show empathy with Gaza (like how is this a „safe“ jewish person when they don’t even have the basic law of free speech and get arrested for showing sympathy with others ESPECIALLY about something like THAT) honestly I just don’t get it it makes me so so angry - then again these were oftentimes the kind of people who thought they showed solidarity during BLM when all they posted was a black square which was exactly what creators and black activists asked us all NOT to do bc it clogged the feed and killed the flow of information and news but yeah… some of those antifa people - at least here - were and are just scene kids who pay more attention to their outfits and hair colors and patches and maintaining a certain look than to actually sit tf down shut up and listen once. They only feel validated when they can feel like they are the „saviors“ and secretly wallow in that feeling and can pat themselves on the back for waving a rainbow flag that has the antifa logo on it in a local demonstration. They are so concerned with symbolics and outer representation that they forget to actually keep LEARNING instead of just repeating the same things over and over again and oversimplifying things by that, because sometimes there’s so much more behind matters which brings me to the starting point of this post.

poll results: 🔥fire signs🔥

Strangely enough, this was the least popular poll among the four posted. At any rate, polling is now closed. Thanks to all who responded and took ALL of the polls. The ones I want to thank the most are those who were REAL ACROSS THE BOARD and answered all polls as objectively, honestly and as comprehensively as possible (meaning not telling me what they think I wanna hear).

In summation, the answers were pretty interesting, to say the least. What disparity! LOL. I’ve found that the ones who came out in full force and had sooo much shit to say about the water signs and the earth signs (whether relevant or not) went oddly ghost when it came to the fire and air signs. Strange 🤔🤔. I only counted one answer per person, so needless to say, I happily deleted any double answers from the same person trying to skew the results in a certain sign’s favour. And as with the earth sign poll, air sign poll, AND the water sign poll, I gleefully deleted all of those who just put periods or smiley faces or idiots who typed random letters in the alphabet to get to the next question or said stupid shit like “no strong preference here”, “because”, “shrug”, or “idk” as a lazy cop out of actually using their brains and giving a valid reason as to why the preferred the signs they did. Yall don’t count.

After clearing all the extraneous, incomplete, and clearly triggered opinions and focusing exclusively on those who actually have VALID reasons, there were:

100 total who answered the water sign poll

70 total who answered the fire sign poll

77 each who answered the air and earth sign polls

All coherent reasons (even if it was just as basic as expressing pride in your own/certain signs) were copied verbatim, atrocious spelling and grammar and all. I took the liberty of bolding the best ones. Here’s the breakdown:

The reasons for Aries:

I like aries influence a lot, they’re the most obviously cardinal of the cardinal signs and i just love that attitude. Leos egos are a turnoff.

everyone needs an aries in their life tbvh

they’re real warriors, have a heart of gold, are balls of energy, fearless, magnetic, entrepreneurial, always up for new things; hot-headed and childish, but that’s because they live and love with all their heart

As an Aries, I do love both signs and have great friendships/relationships with people with planets in both signs. Stronger connection to Aries though. Leo can be too much for me.

Friend

Love the loner types

When they aren’t being selfish assholes, Aries can be very childlike and can love hard and be loyal as a child would. Leos egotistical nature is often very dismissive of those they claim to care about and they seem to have a tougher time balancing themselves.

They’re really fun and exciting. Probably the one who I’ll laugh my ass off with and sneak in to parties at night. You know, stuff like that.

There’s not so much judgment with them. Fierce and childlike at the same time

I’m in love with Aries’ raw passion. They can be unflatteringly stubborn and inpulsive, but I love how willing they are to talk through their thought process and admit why being so impulsive is dangerous. They’re significantly less self-centered than Leo imo. Plus, they can be so childlike and pure sometimes, I just want to take them under my wing and shelter them from the darkness in the world.

don’t even go there haha, Leo’s annoy me and I don’t know any Aries, but Aries seem more up my alley.

Not self centered like Leos

Aries is hardheaded and dependable

aries are more independent, driven, and action-oriented than leos. leos can be too stubborn (their fixed nature…) and egotistical for my preference.

No particular reason. Just feels like I’d fit better with one? Never interacted with either though.

THIS WAS SO HARD i love leos but theyre soooooo self-centered you cant even talk to them without them always changing the subject to themselves

im aries

I personally have always got along with them better, they’re humorous and adventurous as well as headstrong which suits my sagittarius qualities just great.

Leo’s are too dramatic

most of the ppl I know have a lot of aries on them but also, they cute angry pies I love them

my sun sign

Less egotistical, also more mutable in terms of their opinions

Aries seems to mind their business slightly more, and their large ego comes off as more endearing rather than annoying, unlike Leo.

As an Aries moon I completely relate to this sign, and my favorite people have been this sign. They are really charismatic and not afraid to poke fun at themselves, but still have enough pride to not take any pity from anyone. They are impatient, but at least they do what they say that they are going to do. The type of person to follow through with a dare. Can be childish sometimes, but I love how quick they are to recover from defeat and get back up again to slay. I love being around Aries because they add a ton of excitement and adventure to my life.

As an earth dominant I can deal with aries better than with arrogant and flashy leos

I admire them more. And they’re not attention seeking cunts

leo’s rlly bother me for some reason??? they just kinda seem full of themselves

Attraction to the sign

Leos tend to care too much about their status and being in the spotlight, they’re petty and aren’t afraid to tear down their loved ones if it means they can advance their own personal success. Though they do have good traits such as their generousity and wanting to stick up for others. Aries on the other hand is selfish and starts arguments for their own amusement which is annoying, but more bearable than Leo’s negative traits. Aries courage and honesty is extremely admirable as well

Leos are too demanding, Aries are more simple 

audacity, cardinal principle, movement, mars

The reasons for Leo:

Leos are funny and their self-confidence is inspiring! As a Taurus with a leo moon, I feel like leos are earthy fire signs, whereas aries is fiery/watery fire signs. Aries is too fast, blunt, and emotional for me.

yes, leos are proud and arrogant but they are not too openly agitated or aggressive compared to aries

I get along with them generally, their more fun to talk to and I like how we can both argue without hurting each others feelings.

hard choice because they’re both cool but leos are just creative powerhouses in an almost unbelievable way.

i am an aries, and i love my people, but o h m y g o d. i  literally feel like every aries i know is actually more concerned w appearances and ppl liking them than the leos i know. what irony.

I dislike their self centeredness but I love the drama and aesthetic of Leos. They can be extremely loyal and have a great sense of humor at their best. Aries can be too overbearing sometimes.

I know more Leo’s then aries

because arieses are so impulsive and the lions and annoying but cuties

lmao this was hard but i chose leo bc theyre motivational with their goals (although they can be detached from what’s realistically possible??? and im the cancer with 12 house ego and thoughts???). my mom is aries dom and every time she talks i detach from reality and cant bring myself to listen

Most of my celeb crushes are leo men. (also aries but more leo)

more friendly (a con- rely too much on validation compared to aries which is eh)

leo’s are less selfish, more kind hearted

aries is too boring

aries in my experience tend to be impulsive in big situations so.. i’d rather stick to leo

They are fun and most of them are self-confident

I’m a Sagittarius and while I get along with Aries, I prefer Leo’s because we get along better

I’m a Leo Moon. Aries are really brash and impulsive. Worse than me. And the Aries men are like big babies. They only lack the pacifiers

I can’t deal with Aries dominant people, we clash tf out until we hate each other’s guts and cant be in the same room.

Aries are like 99% impulse which irritates me.

Purity of the heart; love; leadership; kindness; generosity

Leos are more fun, aries are so stubborn and uptight sometimes, also rude and stone faced.

My sisters are leos

They have such big hearts and they’re less selfish and annoying.

Leo is warmer and more affectionate 

Great sense of style & are so sweet!

Leo’s are easier to predict and they don’t change their mind every 5 seconds. Plus they’re more patient.

Leos are less stupid

I like them both, I think Aries are caring and cute but a little bit of a mess, but Leos are funnier and easygoing

okay so im a leo dom and aries moon so this was next to impossible, but i just LOVE that flair for the dramatic that having a ton of leo gives me, so i gotta go with that

Not as aggresive and explosive

I love most aries, but some of them can be a little much for me. Just too opinionated and too much energy- and often impulsive. Leos can be self centered a little bit but they’re also hilarious and charming and fantastic at making you smile.

Aries are childish and often don’t think before directing their energy, which makes them burn out easily. Idk man, I’m an Aries Venus but a Leo Mars, and I identify more with the latter. Aries make more mistakes, Leos don’t; their pride/reputation are too important to them.

i love leo energy, they’re generous and adorable, tho i prefer other placements than leo suns

The reasons for Leo:

I just….hate the sag archetype. They’re overly philosophical, think they’re smarter than they are, can’t commit, and blunt. They don’t go well with my own personality.

I’m Sag Dom myself but I don’t get along with Sag Suns due to the fact that their just idk we don’t have the same sense of humour and their more on the ..boring? side (the ones ik all altleast)

my bf is the only sag i know that i have ever gotten along w. i vibe better w leo energy, and i value the loyalty. unless theres some heavy earth energy from what i have seen, sags arent characteristically loyal.

i dont trust sag (unless theyve got compatible dominants with me) bc of the lack of commitment.

same as before. and I see sag as more of a friend/brother. both brothers and my father are sags. not interested in them but i love them lol

sagittarius are selfish and self righteous

I have had bad experiences with Sagittarius. I’m friends with only one Sagittarius girl. The others I know are so full of themselves and think they’re better than everyone. They criticize people about the same flaws they have themselves. Same goes for the guys. The Sagittarius guys I’ve met are also womanizers.

Generousity. Caring. Can be a complete ass, but they can’t really help it. I know some awful leos and some pretty rad ones. But even the rad ones are selfff obsessed, and rude so idk lol.

This is difficult to pick but a Leo of higher frequency overpowers all else

My sisters are leos

They’re more reliable. Plus some Sagittarians can be prone to looking for drama. Leos to me are easier to get along with and are less judgemental and negative.

Leo is more genuine and loyal

less selfish

leo’s are just so much fun!!

Not as obnixious… lol

Saggitariuses are my least favorite. I find them kind of self centered and inconsiderate. I just never really vibe with them for the most part.

Dependable

The reasons for Sagittarius:

SAGITTARIUS IS THE BEST FIRE SIGN!!! Funny, not self centered, curious, overall really cool. leo influence is cool but the suns… Eh, annoying at best

sags are the most funniest hands down! they know how to have fun, they know what they want, and don’t give a f*** about what people say

they’re adventurous, physically and mentally attractive, energetic, respect others’ and their own freedom/privacy, ready to defend their principles and beliefs, have a freaking good sense of humor, can be friend with literally everyone, generous, have a warm and big heart.

Love both but I always feel more motivated in the presence of someone with a Sagittarius planet.

More interesting

Chill and have a old soul maturity about them

sags are not as openly arrogant as leos

sagittariuses seek validation a bit less which is inspiring

I can’t dissolves Leos because they are the heart of the zodiac but I love Sagittarius sense of humor and their capacity for understanding the world on a far deeper level than most.

I’m Sag dominant. I’m not really sure what to expect from a Sag, but they always seem to be putting something to use in the sense of making artisan crafts, traveling, or athletic. Leos can be averse to the thought of work, least the ones I know.

They’re are my favorite sign even though I’m not a sag

we sagittariuses can be so emotionally detached but we always want lo learn about the life, about the others and be part of them

First of, because I’m a sagittarius ahah. Second of, because I really like our fun and witty nature but also our care for the deep questions of life. Therefore, I feel like we have a somewhat balanced duality of extroverted and introverted. Also, some Leo’s that I know are really self-centered and think they’re always right and that drives me nuts, so it’s sag nearly all the way.

I’m a Sag rising, so I might be a little biased. But Sagittarians are just SO CHILL yet so full of passion. They are almost air like in the way they move through the world, get her in friends and followers of through heir cause, or just generally burning the world to the ground. I love Leo’s and their golden personalities, but Sags just seem much more dynamic to me

fun as fuck. Not desperate for validation, have a good amount of ego, not clingy or desperate but not too distant either. Just the best really (sag falls in my fifth so maybe that plays a part too but still sag always)

I don’t know Sagittarius people in person but I do online, and I love them. I feel like they’re underrated. They’re open, honest, frank, and kind.

More fun not as into me me me

more exciting / sarcastic

my momma is a sag and she’s the most understanding person in my life

sagittarius are very open and adventurous which is more fun to be around. they’re willing to debate and discover different perspectives, which a leo is unlikely and/or unwilling to do. leos value their own perspectives and opinions too much that even when faced with a valid counter-argument, they often refuse to listen (once again, because of their fixed nature)

sags are literally the cutest 💞💞

I am a Sag, and proud too!

Thats my moon sign and I love everything about sagittarius

Because I’m a sag and we are the better sign 😂

bc its my rising, and i love these reckless bastards

more chill

This is my sign, but i’ve always attracted people with sagittarius in their chart, and they make great friends. Someone whom i can always joke with and i feel free to express myself around them.

Sags are the best. Always interesting to talk to and a party pusher. As long as their not a enlightment-new-age-nut.

There’s only fun fun fun with sags, and if they commit, then they commit more than leos.

I love them for the adventure shit but hoe try to use me for having experience I will HURT U

More adventurous!

Sagittarius is waaaaay more relaxed than Leo. Not everything is about their ego with them.

Life of the party, and gives the best advise

Sagittarius is vvv fun to be around

Are you kidding? We, sags, are perfect. Ok, but really, I’m blinded by my own pride.

Sagittariuses are hilarious and fun—Leos are overbearing and irritating.

I love both but I haven’t been pissed off with a Sagittarius as much as I have been to a Leo. I hate Leo men though, the gals are great though. Once Leos realize that their magnetic charm, they can be quite conceited and entitled. Sagittariuses are laid back and really chill, and are pretty blunt to the point that it’s hard to insult them and have them take it seriously. They are comfortable with who they are.

I prefer Sagittarius,but some of them are quite unnerving

I don’t like them all that much but they’re okay. I prefer them over Leo but some Leo’s are cool too

Sags are more interesting to me, funnier, can actually care about people other than themselves. Vanity is something I despise in others.

i don’t really like either but i get along better with sags

i like how they’re free spirited and at the same time love deeper discussions

Sagittarius are honest, free-spirited, funny, and generally has a strong sense of morals. Leo’s morals on the other hand can be questionable and their fragile ego can be too much. I have much Leo in my own chart so I really just hate sharing the spotlight with other people who have Leo in their chart

Sagittarius are more easy going, but I hate that they are irresponsible

wisdom, philosophy, universality, adapting spirit, worldly consciousness, not caught up in one’s own ego

The reasons for Sagittarius:

Sags rule fam

sags know when to chill, they’re less likely to get into fights, less pushy and childish than aries

based on my own experience with them, Sags are usually more level-headed than Aries, less likely to ‘attack’ those who displease them, definitely more chillax, more open-minded and tolerant of others. They don’t make you feel like you have to walk on eggshells around them, and some Sags I know are better at listening to others.

Humble and aren’t very brash

aries are just too much for me to handle sometimes

aries are like life personified but i prefer the filter through which sagittarius sees life

like i said, love my ppl. but i would rather spend time w a sag than an aries. i butt heads w em too much.

Sags are my favorite sign

Because is my sign and I love it

When it comes to these two, I choose sag bcs I feel that aries are really agressive without even considering why. Idk just feel that they have an angry nature. Despite this I really like aries.

Same as previous response [”I don’t know Sagittarius people in person but I do online, and I love them. I feel like they’re underrated. They’re open, honest, frank, and kind”], and I don’t know Aries to base an opinion (except theoretically)

an aries doesnt stand a chance against a sag imo 😭✨♥️

Always gonna back my own sign, unless it’s something bad. Then you gotta scold it!

They’re the best

Because I’m a sag and we are the better sign 😂

Sag cause dad jokes woot.

Sagittarius are the last of the fire signs in the zodiac while aries is the first, and in their nature aries can be a little child like and to me focused on things i don’t care about. I want to be free and travel the whole world and that is what sagittarius embodies.

Aries are sweet but Sags are just more interesting to me.

Openmindedness; transcendence; travel; learning

Still sag, more friendly and open with people.

They’re less shallow and conversations are more interesting than with Aries.

Sagittarius is more interesting intellectually than Aries

Sagittarius isn’t as impatient and bratty as Aries

Sagittarius are smart

I think we Sags are chiller than Aries and Leo in some senses, but we are kinda bitchier too, but we can balance both things better? Idk

Sagittarius is funnier and more entertaining, and I don’t notice their ego as much as Aries, which is always a good thing.

Sags understand the world and how to be adults. Aries don’t.

I love their free spirit and open-mindedness

Aries are problematic point blank, they cause more trouble and drama than worth it and they are way too competitive. Their ego depends on being better than everyone else. While Sagittarius has their own faults such as flightiness and being rude at times, they aren’t as much an issue as Aries are

mature, wise, adventurous, friendly, generous and accepting, not commanding

The reasons for Aries:

Again, love both signs. However, I resonate more with Aries than Sagittarius.

See previous answer [”I just….hate the sag archetype. They’re overly philosophical, think they’re smarter than they are, can’t commit, and blunt. They don’t go well with my own personality”]. Just don’t like sags lol

Aries are more fun to talk to than sags

That’s really hard I only choose Aries not to be too biased as a Sagittarius moon.

While I’m a Sag, two Sags can be too much and we can also be very petty. Aries are goofy, fun, and balance us. I can always rely on them if I need anything.

This was a close one for me. I only chose Aries bc I need their raw passion, ambition, and fearlessness in my life. They’re such inspirations to me, as surrounding myself eith them gives me the zest and intensity to pursue my dreams. I find their aggressiveness sexy and their destructive impulses endearing. I just want to cuddle them, but I know they’d burn me if I tried

i dont like aries but they seem to gravitate towards me and provide for me more than they even need to. i try to try for them now which i cant see myself doing with a sag

not as free-spirited as sag.

I like their drive plus I’m Mars in Aries so props to my peeps

aries are more loyal as friends

Aries are trustworthy and always a good time

hard to pick, but ultimately aries. aries are more reliable than sag

My opinion and experiences with Sagittarius girls and guys are just too bad. Already mentioned the reasons. Aries is better in comparison.

my mom is an aries and shes so much fun

im aries

Aries is one of my favorite signs

I LIKE ARIES PPL WHAT CAN I SAY

more courageous

Hot!

Has more of a personality instead of being one with the crowd

i vibe with the intensity of aries SO HARD

Aries is so passionate about things and they inspire me to embrace who I am. Quite honest, but not as blunt as Sagittarius. I do love Sagittarius though, but they are too free-spirited and careless with consequences to my taste. At least I can count on Aries– with Sag I have no idea where they are half the time lol 

A well balanced aries is better than any Sagittarius

They get me as a cancer and listen when people talk

Cuz there’s always something to like about an Aries

Aries can be a lot, but they try so hard. I love their fire. Saggitariuses kind of get on my nerves.

one of my closest friends is an aries and sags just kinda bother me bc they’re so all over the place??

Attraction, qualities I wish to embody more

Bad experience with Sagittarius
