i mean ngl if i was a respectable scientist in some weird town on a research job and i saw a guy wearing some combination of a feather boa, fishnets, booty shorts, and an arcade floor pattern button up, with the voice of an ANGEL, i would also immediately fall deeply in love and make every effort to never leave

hey guys, my blog is endo safe so i try to look out for tags that say “endos dni” because i dont want to reblog those. if you see me reblog a post with tags like that, feel free to dm me and i’ll take it off my blog! i probably just didn’t notice it. all types of systems are welcome here and i want to make you all comfortable :)

listening to wtnv in 2024 makes me understand immediately why tumblr over a decade ago thought this shit was the coolest thing ever. it casually but flawlessly parodies the us surveillance state, ultra-militarized police forces, inane human resource bureaucracies and the blasé of the suburban middle class all within the span of three episodes with a very tongue in cheek slice of life format that doesn’t sound possible on paper but is executed absolutely absurdly well

I CANT STOP DRAWING THEM SEND HELP

[crittercoll]

hello fellow systems of any shape, size, or origin:

Did you have this experience?

While i don’t remember much about these imaginary friends, there is a video of me talking about them. There were three or four, and they were all named after flowers. They had relationships with each other and myself and came in and out of my house. I described their appearances and outfits in detail. They were mostly older than me (i was 5 or so, and they were teenagers).

I remember very distinctly yelling at them that they had to go away and that we couldn’t’t be friends anymore. In my head, i was getting too old for imaginary friends. They refused! They were stuck and i couldn’t get rid of them.

(small comic + more text under the cut)

(read left to right)

panel 1: “I’ve always had a very vivid imagination! I used to have imaginary friends.”

panel 2: “You know, I had a conversation with them once and yelled at them to go away, and they wouldn’t…”

panel 3: (slightly disturbed expression) “…”

I don’t want to assume anything, and i don’t know much about child psychology, but: Does anyone think this could be an early manifestation of DID? Is this a normal thing that happens to children? Are imaginary friends supposed to be optional? Any answers are helpful.

Thank you to whoever finds this!

Everybody talking about how Cecil is peak Sexy Tumblr Man bc he's Skinny White Guy in a Suit

But nobody talking about how Cecil was also the catalyst for anti-Skinny White Guy in a Suit!

By the time WTNV and Cecil rolled around in 2014 people were sick of skinny white guys in suits!!! They wanted something different! and it sparked a lot of talk around the default white depictions of characters who didn't have canon designs.

There's this image by zenamiarts that depicts a lot of the popular human Cecil designs that started popping up as a result. You started seeing Cecil with long braided hair!! Cecil with a walking stick and chronic pain! There was Cecil who was a just giant floating eyeball. Cecil who could change his entire appearance at a whim. A very popular ask blog where Cecil was a Silkie Chicken. (Newer more modern designs also showcase the eccentric fashion Cecil is now known to wear.)

i mean Fuck. Cecil Palmer was the first male character I saw drawn in a skirt!! he was the first character I saw drawn as gender nonconforming and he got treated and drawn like it was a normal thing and i will never forget that.

was it the perfect depiction of diversity? nah. & it sadly seems like a lot of the surviving artwork of Cecil from 2013-2016 is 'Skinny White Guy in a Suit'. (the 2018 tumblr exodus might have something to do with that :( )

But!!! Cecil really did open the door for future audio drama character designs. (looking at u mr. jonathan the magnus archives)

Cecil is mr tumblr sexyman and always will be thank u

"wtnv is important because of the queer rep!", "wtnv is important because it created a radio drama renaissance!" yes, these things are true, but have you considered that wtnv is important because it made an entire generation of queer teenagers feel deep, indescribable feelings of love and existential wonder whenever they saw an arby's?

[ID: A doodle of Carlos and Cecil reenacting the "are ya winnin, son?" meme. Carlos stands at the door, saying "are ya winnin honey-pie?" and Cecil sits at his computer, which displays the tumblr dashboard in the goth rave palette, focused on a poll. Carlos has a beard and is wearing square glasses, a labcoat, and shorts. Cecil has a mustache and is wearing spiral earrings, a peasant top, crocs, and just his underwear. Both of them have visibly hairy legs. end ID]

I love you trans characters in media whose voices would be associated with their AGAB, but are treated normally.
