thinking about ezra making the noti little necklaces and trinkets with the starbird. and painting one on his little noti mobile home. thinking about how he really left home but that it never left him. the rebellion was his life. the ghost crew was his life. and he was in another galaxy, knowing nothing, painting starbirds.

...I know people in this day and age think any collaborative effort can fix things, often despite reality (ex. the MULTIPLE tumblr blackout protests over the last like 10 years across different owners of tumblr that didn’t change shit),

but I think going out of your way to buy things from tumblr en masse as a “well then they’ll be profitable and won’t have to change things to resemble profitable sites!” as if the CEO/higher ups are personally going to see this and not AT MOST just go “oh we made money, sick, Anyway.” is just. the most naive and frankly 5-year-old level of problem solving unrealistic idea if you think about it for more than 5 seconds. People are just so blinded by naive optimism it’s painful.

Staff isn’t going to see your purchases and go on a full redemption arc and restore porn in spite of payment systems’ massive stigma against it or Apple’s restrictions and never ever try to mimic Twitter or TikTok again, or whatever the fuck you’re expecting, they’ll keep focusing on shit tweaks that resemble other sites because those are what keep investors who think they know tech and user wants hooked and they think new people from other sites will come over for that instead of the fact these people are typically escaping those kinds of features.

Staff isn’t your friend, their vying for support like they’re your buddy who is hitting hard times and has been here holding your hand all these years is deliberate corporate marketing, they’re an arm of a corporation that spits in the face of LGBTQ+ people and especially black people for daring to post about themselves while touting themselves as The Queer Site! A diverse site! Look at this AMA we’re doing with someone about Black History Month! and you’re doing nobody a service when you’re unintentionally rewarding a service for getting worse because they will not know nor care about your motives, they just care that they got money and will continue making it worse regardless of you. They’re a corporation, not a small business ran by 10 people who are trying their best. People throwing money at Staff already encourages them, let alone when you buy into the weird parasocial shit they try with us which will continue as they see success with that method.

Like the mere idea of everyone buying the crabs to gift to make the site profitable is just unrealistic (especially in this economy with such terrible inflation and in NA there are issues with the weather and fires, on a site that mostly consists of groups of people who are typically low income or unable to work???), it feels very much like the gofundme pages people set up to raise money for celebrities who have debts who will be fine regardless and definitely don’t need your help. Corporations and CEOs are not your friends, they never will be. They do not care about you and they’re not some poor uwu victim of circumstance.

TL;DR half-assed blackouts aimed at companies that don’t care (that I have seen over and over) and “cr*b day” type efforts are incredibly dumb and will change nothing, and they will not change anything, just encourage them since they see they’re making money during their current marketing schemes, if they notice at all. You pitying them like they’re a poor innocent person is exactly what the corporation wants.

If you want to make a difference give that money to an artist or lgbtq+ people who basically get flagged as mature for Existing, or people who get their posts flagged for criticizing the site, or something, someone who gets screwed over by this site on the regular. It will do far more good than that whackadoo type pipe dream and sit down and think for a second, please.

Finally after so long!!!!! I’ve done fully colored redesigns of the mane 6 (w/ matching background!!)

So happy with how they all turned out. I also have one for spike and the cmc, so I might post those next!

[liquidstar]

oc req i got from a friend on cohost for these two hanging out! which eventually turned into me thinking "what if this is just saiph walking up to ramus unprompted on Guild Beach Day, but ramus fully forgot who he was since they last met" and that concept was funny enough to me that thats what the drawing became

but still, here's an edited (technically original) version under the cut bc i think eventually they start to talk for real anyway lol

Sorry for lack of posts I forgot and my queue ran out again so here I am two days late anyway heres Facts 12:

COCONUT CRAB

The COCONUT CRAB is a type of giant hermit crab. It is also known as the ROBBER CRAB, PALM THEIF and if you want to get scientific BIRGUS LATRO and are generally around 3 feet across. They mostly eat fruits, nuts and seeds but are known to occasionally treat themselves to eachother.

A collection of things I’ve screamed into the void with mild hope that the void would scream back (it did. on several of these)

I am so sorry but every single word uttered here is canon to YLS’s already insane lore. yes even the one about Jack Skellington. yes even the one about Dimentio. yes even the one that ties into MSM/TBoCI. yes ESPECIALLY the one about Captain Barnacles.

Guys guys guess what!!! I'm still struggling with health issues and writing takes a lot of effort I just don't have the energy for. But some friends decided it could be fun to do a little fanfic/fanart collab. And it's just a silly casual thing so its okay that it will take me a really long time. So im gonna be working on an enby Dazai fic that will get fanart with it!!!! I'm really excited. I hope it turns out good. This will be the first project I'm working on since I went of hiatus and im worried it will escalate my issues again but im going to try anyways. Wish me luck!!!!

[kedreeva]

Happy crab day!! Enjoy some company for you and fowl while writing, and I hope Bug doesnt try to hard to eat them off your screen!

Happy Crab Day! Thank you for the crabs!! We are gonna get so much writing done together!

i don't get how you can be friends with people on the opposite end of the political spectrum. if you're both hard leaning towards centrism then it's understandable, but in my case that's a matter of being a normal human being and being a cannibalistic nazi because politics here is not about being left or right for a long time.

apolitical people who are strictly against any political discussions are just gross

Currently harassing someone that hacked my dad's account with crab attacks so there's that

[rainyyday-box]

heyheyhey!!

its me again :33 your biggest phan :333

just wondering whats it like in your universe!! whats different!!!

ps youre so cool rainbox

Oh hi again friend!! uhm, I don't actually know the details cause y'know, how would you compare something to something you don't actually know??

But from what I've seen I think it's just... a lot more peaceful here, I guess? I'm seeing like straight up murderous people or people who are fine with murder which is.. concerning! To say the least...

Uhm other than that I also noticed there's like, multiple of the same people in one universe?? Which is like rad totally cool however we unfortunately do not have that. Which sucks cause I wanna see and hang out with other me's too y'know???

But uhhh yeah, not sure what the other differences are. Other than the obviously different versions of us. Feel free to ask more stuff nothing's really coming to mind rn so sorry lol
