#free of cringe

[porcelain-rob0t]

on identity, healing the inner child, fursonas, and cringe culture

I've got, like, five posts in drafts. Who am I? Aren't I just a spam-reblogger, an integral part of the Tumblr ecosystem? Since when do I express opinions?

"We need to bring cringe/shame back" more like you need to learn how to sit with the discomfort of people liking and doing shit you don't like.

I myself sometimes feel it when I browse social media and then I remember that other people having fun isn't about me and guess what ? I stop feeling uneasy.

You don't viscerally need to say or do something about things you found cringe. You can just look away and mind your own business.

I lost a bet and as a result I had to draw Mithrun in that one pineapple shirt

I'm not going to buy your art if you're going to reblog cringe.

This is one of the funniest asks I’ve ever gotten I don’t even know how to respond

You’re ON the cringe website. Do you also get mad when you open a book and words are inside

What if instead of playing Chess in Ford's Mindscape they play Parkour Civilization 🤔

[demico-art]

Wanted to draw some Stan fluff and more details kept piling up. Anyway, the idea here was that Ford was nerding and telling Stan about whatever he's discovered or thought of. It also looks like he's telling him a story :D A continuation <<<

I just realized something about bright colors in art.

When I was first learning to draw, neon-bright colors were associated with sparkledogs and cringe. Which was the original reason I avoided them. Now, I try to steer clear of them in my art because they scald my eyes. Not because of cringe. They just physically hurt to look at sometimes.

I like natural color schemes that help characters blend into their environment, like with my Zunru (Pokemon-esque) character Bunnub.

I like pastels. Especially different colors of pastels. The light purple and green work really well for Booabug.

I like fiery colors- not the brightest in the box, but generally warm. Redent is an example.

But I realized my beef with bright colors is purely a physical thing now. Maybe I'm just older and my eyes are decaying. But I've seen people do some really cool shit with bright colors on here and other sites. I guess everyone has their color scheme. I like softer colors, but I'm sure someone else finds them boring. I have to force myself to use cool colors, but they may be someone else's forte.

Sometimes, I'm even okay with brighter colors. Like with these characters based on "tell me the name of God, you fungal piece of shit", literally named Fungit and Exdecay (their colors are way brighter in Krita).

Maybe one day I'll give Mary Sues some slack too? ...Nah. But at least I've accepted they are important elements of learning to write. That's one step closer to being free of cringe I guess.

I just love how the difference between these images SO encapsulates the difference in vibe between SNW and TOS.

I’m genuinely sorry, glistening-tits-buff-Spock-with-manly-sleek-interior-design-choices-and-scantily-clad-bethrothed-in-background-who-you-rather-explicitly-raw-and-cheat-on, you could only attain the level of unadulterated cunt that is TOS Spock and his weird campy artifact-filled bedroom in your DREAMS.

Self-indulgent showtime sketches

I’d love to see more of your “what if Tad Strange was canon and helped Stanley”, especially how it would change the turn of events with Bill since he thought everyone he knew was dead from the accident

Ok so you might not like this but it’s kinda part of my au called “ Shapes and Pines “

I got a comic in the works for the start of it and a BUNCH of drawings and doodles! I wanted to hold off on it until the comic is done but I’m weak! So here have some lore, jokes and doodles! I’m scared!

Most of these ARE jokes but uhm… idk if I’m gonna make them kiss but wouldn’t it be funny? A little? No?

Part 1 | Part 2

more spiderjon nonsense enjoy 😌

Have you seen anything more romantic? (They make me SICKKKKK)

[la-pheacienne]

I'm reading the lord of the rings and I'm once again amazed at how... good most characters are. Like, they are genuinely good people. They are a bunch of kindhearted, gracious, caring people, coming together under adverse circumstances and trying to figure things out and find a solution and support each other through it all. Like Frodo and Sam meet Faramir and Faramir is a bit suspicious at first and kind of implies Frodo may be a spy, and then when he hears his story and he's like Frodo, I pressed you so hard at first. Forgive me! It was unwise in such an hour and place. And this blows.my.mind. He wasn't even particularly mean or threatening to him in the beginning, he's just such a kind, considerate man, recognizing the kindness and honesty of another man. And they're all like that. Even Gollum starts slowly changing (for a short while) when he encounters Frodo because that's the thing about kindness and humility and grace, they are contagious. They transform people, even a creature like Gollum cannot be immune to that. Like, you may consider all this simple and basic and I get it but, hear me out. It is quite rare to see that in modern media and it is also pretty difficult to pull off in a way that is not corny and simplistic. It is mind blowing that you actually don't have to present the entire palette of human cruelty and vice in order to tell a compelling story, contrary to popular belief. Lotr does the exact opposite, and it is just beautiful and it warms my heart. Especially taking into consideration tolkien's pretty grim growing-up experience, him being a double orphan without a home, raised between an orphanage and a priest and having no family apart from his brother and then the war and then he almost dies and then he's poor as hell and then a second war and it all makes sense somehow. He writes to his wife who is also an orphan two days before the marriage "the next few years will bring us joy and content and love and sweetness such as could not be if we hadn't first been two homeless children and had found one another after long waiting" and, yes, yes! The love and sweetness just radiate from his work, the entire lotr series is a little radiant bubble of hope and love and grace that he imagined in his head to deal with a dismal reality and then he just gave that to the world, and isn't that what imagination and art is all about after all?
