genuinely is my brain erasing itself or is google/tumblr censoring that post about notre dame and old growth forests.
#i know we joke about tumblr's (lack of) search function#but at some point this is surely (less) passive (more) aggressive#(particularly against people with memory issues...is this. is this gaslighting.#am i. am i being GASLIGHTED. by a social media platform who isn't even my PARENT???)#that post is ingrained in my memory but google image is flirting and fwirling its fan 'haha! you're so cute! and Imagining Things. Dear :-)#i have Looked okay! i've looked! and i've looked for a SEVERAL DOZEN POSTS before this after talking To People...and behold!#...this last year or two i *genuinely* can't find posts 4 out of 5 times.#what the COOL GELITAN FUCK is going on#geletan#gel#GELTAIN#GELA--im so scared right now#so tired#GELITAN#what the chilled gelitan fuck is going on#update: i Am being gaslit just not about the spelling of gelly-thing#i'm both stupid AND being gaslit. these things! can! coexist! *sad clapping*

The primal urge to hug him tight and tender - to show him he is not alone in his pain, that he is seen and cared for with a shoulder to lean on, with the opportunity to surrender some control and be safe in sb's embrace ... if he wishes to, if he allows himself to.
He spends his life in the all consuming awareness that he is particulary vulnerable; a disabled and chronicle ill creature from the Undercity which was raised by the laws of"the survival of the fittest ". And by all means he knows he is not the fittest, but he may be the smartest (not that he would allow himself such hybris).
Clawing his way up to the top against all odds, and now fighting not only for progress for society but desperately fighting for his very own life - if he doesn't take care of himself, if he doesn't stay strong, in control and on guard... Nobody will out there, Topside, Undercity or anywhere else for that matter. A lesson hard learned and deeply I printed in his body an soul.
To at least offer him the opportunity of a true safe space, that he doesn't have to do and carry it all alone by himself.
Don't expect him to emmediatly surrender control and lower his walls; there's so much more danger, pain to allow trust and vulnerability with a person who can't fully catch you.
But maybe with time, patience, gentle sensitivity and steadiness he will let you support some of his weight when you hug him.
//
Thank you for this gorgous piece of Viktor!
Ehm, yeah, I would love to give him a kiss, from a little pec to full on devouring him - but only with and depending on his consent 🖤
Quick Viktor sketch because bark bark bark. Hope you can understand. I have this weird habit to join fandom when they are completely gone, so this is me, hanging sketch inside an empty room.
Bonus: I’ll add a kiss for every reblog /comment that ask me to give him a kiss. Dunno if someone want to do this, but I personally need to kiss this pretty mf
#Yeah she's rambling again#but isn't this what this platform is for#I love all of him#and I would show him that#with his consent#arcane viktor#arcane art#arcane fanart

"C'mon, Luigi! Pump those legs!"
"I'm trying, I'm trying. I got bad knees!"
#mario movie#mario movie spoilers#super mario bros#mario and luigi#super mario bros movie spoilers#cherrysip edits#I LOVE THIS WHOLE SEQUENCE SO MUCH#other than just being a fun nod to 2D platforming it's just such an amazing way of showcasing mario's character so vividly#he is driven and athletic and impulsive and rushes into things and won't be told no#he moves full-steam ahead and makes it all up as he goes along#but!!! the one thing he IS always very mindful of is his brother and what he needs to keep up safely#even if there's some joking and complaining along the way they trust each other implicitly and will follow each other anywhere#even just the fact that mario opens the door at the end when he's on the outside and the gate obviously isn't locked and it's not necessary#it's just a nice little thing he does for luigi because they're brothers and he loves him ;_;#on a very different note: luigi straight up KO's a guy in the fourth gif lololol#and then promptly gets stuck in wet cement in the next one ;; poor bb he's just apologizing the whole way#i love themmmm

Australia is planning on banning under 16s from using social media.
So so many reasons this is a stupid idea but the main one is actually, counter-intuitively, ppl's online safety.
Grown ups know how to cross the road safely because they are taught as children. They get to practice with parental supervision when they're kids.
You keep kids off social media then give them unlimited access at 16 and they'll have no frame of reference, no supervision, no working knowledge of how to fact check etc. If you actually want ppl to be safe online, make it part of education.
When discussing Animal Farm in English, talk about how to analyse ideas that sound good but actually result in inequality in practice and then pull up some questionable tweets.
When teaching kids how to research for their next essay, give them a fb rant and show them how to verify the info.
And then whoever is teaching them about personal responsibility should introduce them to tag blocking on tumblr. Show them how to curate their own experience.
Chat gtp should be its own module titled "ai can and will lie to you please for the love of god learn to think for yourself"
#social media#australian#australian politics#laws#legal stuff#knee jerk reactions from government causing problems for all of us#they're talking about age verification for social media#i can only assume that means they want platforms to gather your legal id#sounds like a great way to open yourself up to more risk#nevermind that ppl like to be anon on tumblr for a reason#if it became easy to link my rl to my online one I'd be out#and then what void would i have to rant to#also take responsibility for your kids learning how to use technology safely#it's not easy but it is necessary#a ban on them using it until a certain age isn't going to miraculously make them safe#i can't believe our elected officials can't think of all this for themselves#even the experts have said kids need to learn to live with social media aka educate them#online safety

Hey I found ur art uncredited on tik Tok
https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMreQSnaw/
They said they "found it on Reddit" so they just decided to steal it and post it ig?? Ugh!!
Wow, that's a whole other repost to the one I thought it was going to be, lol. It's been reposted to TikTok once before, and I'm also not surprised this person got it from Reddit, where I doubt I was credited either.
At the end of the day I appreciate the heads up but there's nothing I can really do about it. The most helpful thing anyone can do is to leave comments on the reposts to provide credit,* because if artists ever try and comment then we pretty invariably get attacked. Don't be mean or aggressive, that just builds their animosity towards the artists, but I do think people respond positively to outside pressure to do the right thing 🤷
*Remember to make sure there's enough context - eg. something like "art by @ landegart on Twitter" is more searchable/useful than "artist is Landeg" to someone on TikTok who has no idea who I am haha
#this comic has been reposted A Lot and I appreciate people keeping me in the loop but it's just wearing me down#I can't do much about it and I'd rather just ignore it rather than spend time thinking about it#especially when people get into arguments with them on my behalf and now suddenly I'M the one catching heat#like it's been reposted a couple of times to twitter too and when people tell them to credit me-#-the reposters call *me* a bitch like. I'm not even there any more you're arguing with the wall#anyway. it makes me happy to see people politely but firmly crediting artists in the comments section :) thank you!#also it's kind of interesting that the conversation has become entirely about credit. when I don't want it reposted WITH credit either#I just don't want my art reposted to sites like reddit or tiktok at all. if I wanted it there I'd share it there myself#and the fact that I don't says a lot about what kind of communities those places have fostered#there's a reason like zero artists use reddit to share their own work even though it's a pretty big platform#anyway that part isn't @ you at all anon thank you for your message & keeping me informed#it's more just how the conversation has gradually shifted from 'reposting is bad' to 'reposting without credit is bad'#i understand that it's because we can't stop people from reposting so it's basically the most we can ask for. but still#and make sure you guys aren't following reposters here on Tumblr. even a lot of the ones who say they get permission just lie lol

holy shit shout out to people who use wheelchair devices because the world is a fucking nightmare. I just had to get myself from an office building onto a train while pulling a heavy roller cart and every step of the way was like a saw trap designed to keep me from getting places. and that was WITH being able to get fed up and decide I was just going to shove this cart onto escelators it couldn't fit on and up train steps it wasn't supposed to go
#WHY the FUCK isn't the platform where the accessibility coach pulls up marked?????????????????#there were also signs in one concourse that said ''this concourse isn't accessible. go to the other concourse'' with no fucking indication#of the accessible route to get to the other concourse#AND i way all the to an elevator only for it to say there's no accessibility at that part of the platform and I has to go find some other#elevator. which I did and then that platform still wasn't fucking accessible#what do you WANT. WHAT DO YOU WANT.

Psst, other snake caretakers

I have an idea for April Fools-
who wants in? Private message me for deets.
#snake#reptile#snakes#pets#reptiles#Doesn't have to be a snake only blog#you just gotta have a snake and make a post#it isn't a screamer or mean prank it is completely innocent#it also will not be scary or harmful for snakes' reputations or anything like that#as this blog tries very hard to fight what media has done to make people afraid of and misunderstand snakes#just silly wholesome fun#that I think would be more fun if other snake blogs were in on it#feel free to do on other platforms just don't spoiler it publicly before April Fools#Yes you can tell your other snake friends privately it'd be really funny if a bunch of posts/blogs joined in for the sillyness#yes you can reblog this if you think ppl following you might want to join in#yes you can reblog this if you just like the pic of the belligerent zip tie#...I've never really understood the blogs that are like MUTUALS ONLY EVERYONE ELSE DNI#I'm sure they have their reasons I just don't get it#I mean anyone can message me#Just don't be like “YO YOU SUCK EGGS” or whatever insults ppl use now. I guess a snake blog that wouldn't be an insult.#A snake would read that and be like “Well yes eggs are delicious why are we talking about this? Do you have eggs for me? Are they quail?”#Also please forgive if it takes a little bit for me to respond to DMs#My new job has me writing SO MUCH sometimes it's hard to respond after a day of work#so ... much ... typing#I still have some asks to catch up on ;u;#...deets=details

#people very much want to blame readers for a lack of engagement with fic these days but frankly i think this is.... incorrect#we need to be real about WHAT ao3 is#it is an archive#it is not a space that is particularly conducive to social engagement#the most collaborative experiences i ever had around fic happened on livejournal#it was not on ff.net#like i agree that there is a depressing drop off in like...idk the idea of the social acceptability of leaving comments#and a far more pronounced divide between readers and authors#but this isn't happening bc readers suck now and they're selfish and entitled which frankly is how many posts opining about this issue sound#it's not like lurking or sorting by complete works only is NEW#these are things that have always happened#what has CHANGED imo is that the spaces where fic happens and the spaces where fandom happens are now very different#and isolated from one another#and we can blame readers for not bridging that gap all we want but it's not gonna fix it#especially since we know how well shaming people for Not Enjoying Things Correctly tends to go#like i don't have an answer to this problem but i think this ''you're entitled!'' ''no YOU'RE entitled'' back and forth#between writers and readers certainly isn't going to fix anything either#it's only going to push those two groups further away from each other#to my mind what we need is a) a platform more conducive to collabortive fic writing and fandom interaction#(think LJ or old dedicated fandom message boards)#and b) a cultural shift within fandom spaces away from this idea that authors are like... untouchable or whatever#bc from what I have observed authors who DON'T have this issue are ones who started creating fanworks from within a pre-existing friendgroup#a pre-existing readership really#and these little subsets then grow into larger readerships#the problem is how partioned all these group start#and that i think is a byproduct of an overall more hostile fandom space where people feel like they can't speak or create openly#without being in danger of running afoul of some fandom scold and their lackeys#like fandom has never lacked for drama but i do think in a post-tumblr/twitter fandom space we can all agree that shit jas gotten Buckwild#*gestures at how bg3 fandom recently speedran fandom insanity primarily on twitter*#shit is different these days and blaming each other for that is missing the forest for the trees

So you think people voicing their disgust at your degenerate coomer pedo shipping bullshit is censorship? Surely that means you support freedom of speech then? How about this: you're a nigger and a faggot.
Real cute! You should say this again off anon :)
Anyway Steven and his Gem are getting married this weekend and I'm the best man at the wedding <3
#bestie I'm a black queer you think this is the first time I've been called a slur? bye lmao#Anyway when people ask why i dont like antis this is my answer#loser behavior fr fr#Also. for fucks sake. freedom of speech is not freedom of consequences#that law is 1) american 2) for federal purposes and 3) not a get out of jail free card#private companies can restrict their platforms and often do#that law exists to tell you that its okay to protest freely or express your dislike of political figures#it is not for private companies; thats what a TOS is for#and guess what! shipping isn't against any social media site's TOS!#anyway get educated and begone LOL#text.txt#nugget rambles#ask#anon#hall of shame#this chor again bet. smh

AHEM.
Your Honor, Plaintiff offers the following exhibits pursuant to FRCP 1001(c), 1003:
Exhibit A:
caption: come on
Exhibit B:
caption: come on
Exhibit C:
caption: COME THE FUCK ON
Upon timely request by the opposing party, the state has additional lower quality, but no less dispositive, in-game photographic evidence. Disclosures pursuant to Brady* have been provided to the opposing party.
Accordingly, the court should award summary judgment to Plaintiff on the issue of SOLAS HAD RED HAIR.
#foolshoujo#putting my law degree to good use#*shhhhhhhh#this isn't just bc i have red hair what do you mean#thank you for this platform your honor plaintiff rests her case#we will accept the eye color change bc it's (a) lore accurate and (b) satisfies the Rule of Cool#our primary counterargument to the opposing party's proposition that his hair is brown is that the DAV screenshots are desaturated#INQUISITION |#headcanons (some have wisdom for those willing to listen.)

Just saw this comment on a story posted a month ago.
*cries in Eddie Munson Solo Series no one wanted to read, interact with or request for*
No shade to the person that commented this on their own fic if you recognize it. It's not their fault. I'm not mad at them. More crying in the tags.
#and no I didn't tag the solo series like I normally would because it's not about THAT.

BEGGED. But bc I wasn't#/have never been a popular writer people don't want it from ME. It's like omg we want THIS but not like that. Not from you.#Can't help but let it get you down when nothing has changed in 2 years. It's not like I worked my way up and have the interaction now#that every other blog I used to commiserate with back in the day is getting currently. Fandom isn't a competition but it's not fair either#and I really struggle with that a lot of the time#Also yes I will concede I should be happy with the notes on the solo series because they are the highest of all the work on my page but#they're still nothing compared to what some people have just hours after posting a new story.#I saw someone complaining the other day that there are less new stories in the fandom than ever 1.

Yesterday I woke up with 74 notes which is more than I've ever seen in one log in!!!! I have to thank @sirianasims for taking the time to go ALL THE WAY BACK to my Geneva Island series (which is nuts cause i went sooo hard on that series lol!) and showed love from my Geneva Island origins all the way up to todays legacy.
I feel so blessed to have found this amazing community this year, and I feel especially happy that so many wonderful storytellers, like yourself, have accepted me!! Luff y'all so fricken much you don't even know
#when i left my small biz last year#i felt pretty lost because i didn't know what i was gonna do#but spending time creating a few series and getting in touch with my storytelling has been the best thing i could have done#for someone who isn't very emotional#it really has helped me to process life#in my own terms#i think everyone who tells a story here on simblr probably feels similar in one way or another#which is why this community is so fricken beautiful#you won't find it on any other platform!!#anywayss speech over lmao#all the love#gif warning

i gotta say it’s so nice to know there are lots more people out there who still mask and are like actually still concerned about covid (and disease in general!) because almost everybody i know has completely stopped and doesn’t care about getting sick or transmitting disease and it is frustrating to say the very least! i know several people who don’t mask who has gotten ill multiple times just this semester and still don’t see an issue with it and still hang out with friends or go to classes. it’s good to know people like u r still out here continuing to advocate for masking and better precautions around diseases in public 💖💖💖
😷💖
#i appreciate this very much! thank you!#i absolutely get what you mean. i too appreciate knowing there's folks out there in this platform still masking up and giving a fuck 💛#i know this ask was sent months ago so hope the remainder of your school year went well!#thank you for sharing 😷💛#i still mask because#covid isn't over#covid is airborne#covid pandemic#covid awareness#covid#ask queue
