Y'know something I really love about Tumblr is that it's one of the few sites I can actually SHOW my art.
Everywhere else restricts you to squares or specific rectangles and it's so frustrating. So much art is in all sorts of unique aspect ratios and shapes that most social media is extremely hostile to or straight up won't even allow!

hi im rowan ! ✿
i made this account to catch up with the ninjago fanbase; i started watching for the first time at the grown age of eighteen. i cant control my hyperfixations so i just follow where the autism takes me lol.
i'm feeling a little lost among all the people who have been here since childhood, but i hope to make some friends and have some fun nonetheless. here's some info about me:
✿ 19y libra
✿ afab demigirl
✿ this account is heavy on the zane julien brainrot lol. some of the ships i enjoy are braincell(!!), glacier, samurai, techno, jaya, bruise, polyninja, etc. otherwise, i like lots of characters and ships and i love to see everyone's interpretations 🙏🏻 interact and let's be friends!
✿ most of my time and social media is dedicated to the palestinian liberation movement. i suppose im using tumblr as a fandom space so i can save my other accounts for more important things. for activism-oriented content you can follow me on instagram and tiktok at @. raydioisotope !
✿ DNI: zionist / pro-israel. dni if you post lloyd x ninja or nevershipping. and uhhh idk haters fuck off ig im just living my life

making hockey edits as a total newbie
having completed my first poetry edit its both easier and harder than i thought! which is pretty exciting considering the fact i have a poem in the back pocket that reminded me of the sharks. its WAY longer and i probably dont REALLY want to actualize it. but. fun process! talking about my process below the cut :)
concept
the inspiration was wanting to make a pickles edit and his number is 44 (and there are SO many sharks players that couldnt take 44 because of him. i mean it so seriously i hope they retire his number solely to inconvenience everyone for the rest of this franchises lifespan)
i dont think hes super widely known because:
the sharks are bad
marc edouard vlasic is bad
so i doubt the narrative of the edit makes much sense LOL
long story short, he used to be REALLY good. never got acknowledged for it in the broader scope. fell off with age . makes him super unpopular because hes signed 8x7m (shout out to past gm doug wilson) and hes bad. hes played with the sharks for the second most amount of games (second to patrick marleau who is like. THE shark of all time. hes so shark they call him mr shark. so if you grade on a curve...?) .
i love our shriveled husk!
the first image (the title card) came way before everything else actually, sort of my proof of concept and proof that i could actually make anything its very young pickles! that image is like. 7 years old
collecting images
all images (not including text overlays) were pulled directly from getty images
i got around the watermark kind of stupidly! most of the time, you can get around it by just pulling it from newsites that did pay for the rights to the image (reverse image search is a pal) or by checking social medias for reposts by the photographer or team (harder for me because i dont use any social media, use instagram only when necessary because it CRUNCHES)
i used mspaint.
it shows.
Tumblr media
(brian babineau)
yeah it was by literally pasting the thumbnail (upsized by about 334% i believe?) on top of the image which is why its such a mess of pixels . the nice thing about the human eye is that it kind of smooths over the image if you dont look too closely . other times the texture of the image is so crunchy already that it doesnt actually make a difference.
(i DID edit the right image i just. cant see it?????)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(left: kavin mistry, rightt: noah graham)
for simpler shapes i did try to use an airbrush to fix it but its not super noticeable so.
the important thing was not using photos where theres a watermark over the main focus because im not making it look good enough to pass .
are there easier ways? oh god yeah. for sure. am i using them? well if you scroll back up
human centipeding images together
hardest part was the photos that mashed images together:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(man just check the original post for credits)
these were NIGHTMARES (now text free!) i have all the things i edited as separate layers if anyone ever wants quinn hughes disembodied hand or two pickles
making image two
the concept of this one was the second, but i had the final image ready to go second and finished it last. i finished this one second after fighting for my life to compile the images for it
the ideas straightforward enough: pickles on ice with the puck, other prominent defensemen going through the motions of a shot edited in. this is when pickles is like. capital g Good
compiling the pictures were easy enough? the hardest one was actually finding one of pickles HAHAHAHA
fun fact is that i chose a bunch of right shooters by coincidence. actually a miracle that i didnt notice until comparing pickles to them in editing. which i did extremely haphazardly (seriously i was guessing when resizing them
i did all this in an art program that didnt have the ability to select the subject so i hand erased the background. i keep mentioning it but if i had to work around erik karlssons hair i get to complain about it.
Tumblr media
first time using the soft eraser if that means anything. the green background was to help me tell what i had and hadnt erased yet
this one took me the longest by far and had me questioning the decisions that lead up to this point the most.
making image three
PAINFUL. there are five different peoples hands on this thing and i spent most of it trying to choose hands that were interesting poses+decorations and in different places. didnt bother removing the watermark on any of the hands because why do i want to make more work for myself. erik karlssons second hand did not make the cut (watermarked)
the nice thing IS that there is a sort of photoshoot they have with consistent angles and lighting. i proceeded to spend way too much time aligning five different photos on top of this to make sure the hands are in the right place and about the right size.
an interesting bit of the editing is that the colors on the trophy photo were actually an afterthought! because it looks kind of nothing.
Tumblr media
it looks nice next to the second image because of the cymk coloring but the problem was that the first three images had colorful elements to them and the fourth is just text on the image
adding text
alt title: OH GOD IMAGE FOUR IS SO NOTHING.
image 3 uses my favorite quote about pickles believe it or not ^_^
If you are new to hockey or are newer to the San Jose Sharks fanbase, you will see the withered shell Vlasic is of his former self and think that any conversation about immortalization in Toronto is beyond the bounds of possibility.
insane someone wrote this about another person. quite chuffed that you can read that phrase in the final image!
Tumblr media
image four babe im so sorry you are so underbaked. the article on THAT one is literally just about the 1000th game celebration. but also its hella ironic
“I’m still the same guy I was when I came in, just 14 years older,” Vlasic said. “Plays the same way, does the same things, plays against the same players. Just 14 years older.”
whole lotta people want this man GONE because hes flopping so hard. everyone and they momma taking bets on when hes getting bought out. its BAD LMAO i hope they sign him another 8 years
in reflection
edits are way easier than i thought they were to make with zero knowledge of the medium! i had no idea what i was doing but i made something i feel extremely proud of, take a shot at it sometime ^_^
something i kind of struggled with was making something that felt interesting and unique but unified as a whole piece? i dont approach things with a visual "theming" in mind and i more or less tripped up on the colors LOL
give it a shot! a spin, even! oickles.

will you still be posting your art on tumblr with the ai scraping etc? :(
For now the answer is yes, of course! most of the people who want to see my stuff are here, and i like it here. i cant take back whatever midjourney already scraped from my blog before the announcement, and all my blogs now have the 'prevent third party w/e' thing toggled on (make sure yall do that too to protect your posts! any reblogs will still have that protection as long as the OP has it toggled btw so dont stop reblogging art lol), which i trust will provide me at least as much protection as posting images on the open internet did before lol. I might increase my watermarks? idk
I did sign up for both Wafrn and Cohost just in case, and I'm also fairly active on instagram (still beansprean everywhere), but IG SUCKS for posting comics because of the aspect ratio lol. I still plan to transport My Familiar's Ghost over to AO3 eventually (very time consuming)! You can also follow my Patreon; some posts there go public after a bit if you can't pay for early access!
i will let yall know if anything changes, but for now im here im queer and im not getting out of this chair!!

Okay so
I did some research and apparently this "tumblr is dying" thing is KINDA true
What it is is that, Automattic, the company that runs Tumblr, is moving all employees off of tumblr and onto other places. Some are saying this means they have a "skeleton crew" running it, but there's more.
Apparently Automattic ALSO just posted about job openings at Tumblr! So what the heck right?
The way I interpret this is that Atumattic isnt writing off Tumblr yet, but they're changing the management of it in hopes of making it profitable. Which means whats coming most likely isnt Tumblr getting taken down...but instead, Tumblr becoming EVEN MORE like other social media sites. Something I've been predicting for years; after all, to corporate upper management, they see our user numbers (which are still quite significant), and the lack of profits, as a failure to monetize properly. Which is why i WAS against all this "dont give Tumblr money they suck lol", not because they didnt suck...but because it can get a whole lot worse. But again, in search of a great thing, we squandered a good thing. Such is how capitalism works; if you cant pay the tithe for mediocrity then they will make it worse and enforce the tithe MORE. Capitalism never seeks greatness, it only seeks control. I do understand the completely valid hatred of the management Tumblr had, but trying to make it perfect was always a fucking fantasy. No matter how much you withhold your pay, they can always replace you with people who wont.
Anyways. I'll probably stay here unless it gets controlled by republican loonies. If it DOES get controlled by them, well, you can find me on Bluesky. I'm also gonna start back up on Instagram I guess. But both of those are going to be for business/art. Socially, well. No place left to shitpost in a way i enjoy, i'll probably try to get more into discord, where my name is pixeljade, same as here. I guess.
Honestly i'm hoping forums, and other independent online spaces come back. I'm sick of corporations. I hope every corporation explodes and dies. They only seek greater control in desperation to please their bloodsucking shareholders. Death to capitalism.

your art is gorgeous and deserves all the notes in the world. i love all of your fashion and outfit designs and the way you draw poses and facial expressions is always so perfect. don’t let the internet fool you into thinking more numbers means more liked. i think your art is some of the most beautiful art i have ever seen
Tumblr media
oh thank you!! i definitely think you're right that it's good to face what we want and that there's no shame in wanting attention. i've been trying to not be so ashamed of everything in general because i've realized that most people deal with that too, and that being at ease with myself helps people be at ease with me too
but in general, i am very happy with the amount of attention and kind words i get, and i definitely agree that more numbers =/= more joy. i used to chase certain milestones and think that i would reach a point where i'd be content and satisfied, and reaching a milestone is cool but it's still just numbers. ultimately, it means more to me to get thoughtful feedback, or when an artist i respect likes it, or to see the same people stick around for months and years :-) i do notice that & i love to see it
and not to be mean, but i also really don't vibe with how some people i follow on instagram, that are popular artists, act very demanding of their audience's attention and money. i don't think following someone online means you pledge your eternal loyalty to them, and i never would want people to think that if they scroll by an art piece of mine without interacting, or just liking, it's a deep betrayal lol. it's fine! ultimately, my feelings are mine to deal with, and it's not on anyone else to provide validation to me at all times. i really don't want anyone to feel guilty for that
like people are not entitled to free labor from artists, but artists are also not entitled to a "fandom". i remember being really not impressed back on deviantart with how popular artists talked to their followers and tbh i think some people are rude to feel more like rock stars. it's not cute.... i don't like it... i feel like the respect has to go both ways
also im kinda glass half full-ing my way through life - if something doesn't work out, i'm like well, this is a good way to practice failure and emotion control. can't go through life with everything going smoothly at all times, that's just how it is. i cant control what happens, only what i do about it. if i post something and it doesn't work as well as i thought, oh well, it's ok, i'm learning to detach value from notes, i'm going to be just like the buddha very soon
god this is so long. im sorry, i have so many thoughts re : being an artist online and handling metrics and so on. the TLDR : i really love being there on tumblr dot com and i feel really lucky that so many people like my art, like my original characters, and it's a pleasure to be there :-) thank you again!! <3333

Watching oshi no ko s2
(Previous post)
Ep4
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Whoa she traumatised him not cool 0.0
Tumblr media
Is it just me or does the shadow thing look like aqua when he was a doctor in his past life? Im guessing that is deliberate. Probably because as a doctor it was his duty to keep ai safe
Anyways this episode was so good, aqua's emotions and panic were portrayed so well in such a haunting way :(
Ep5
Tumblr media
WHOAKAY
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Kana absolutely destroyed her D:
Tumblr media
Bonding! :D
I love the animation in this episode! The colours! The way its so fluid and bouncy! The eyes! So good! I can also see a lot of kaguya sama vibes from aka akasaka whoch is so fun! Also while i was kinda meh about akane, im kinda starting to see more character traita from her that i like, i love how she is becoming more fleshed out.
Ep6
Not much to say about it other than than the MUSIC IS SO GOOD!! I loved it so much and it sounds sick playing loudly in my earphones, especially since its very different from the music in other episodes.
Tumblr media
Im so glad that the website im watching from has the sub have background talking in a smaller font or else i would be so lost all the time =_= (also glad it translates everything important, and also in the colour of that text in the animation)
Melt went in a full on magical girl transformation 0.0
I liked the development tho, so cant wait for next episode
Ep7
Is... okay
I guess interesting to see the reasons behind the conflict between arima and akane but this episode wasn't that engaging. I cant wait for next episode though. I kind of really liked the focus on the other cast members tbh.
Ep8
Again it was fine ig but
Tumblr media
Hehe
Ep9
WHOA this episode is good! Finally another episode that i like, i was worried since i was kind of bored with thw previous few!
Love the lil peep into when ai was still alive 😭
This is crazy how everything is depicted. (Seeing ai alive feels like one of those "A.I. vine continuations/au trend that my sister has been showing me on instagram, lol)
Tumblr media
😭😭😭
(I wanna and probably will draw this)
Tumblr media
Kana's pure look at aqua bridal carrying Akane XD
Also "im gonna go ho-" "im going with them" "im in" is hilarious XD
Tumblr media
Well okay... 0.0
Im excited again :DDD
(Im kinda dissapointed by the ed. Its nice, and it sounds good, but it doesnt have the energy that makes the ending of each episode just pop. Mephisto made every ending of each episode just go so hard, and i feel like this season also kinda needs that feel, especially how the ed starts during the episode's last min. I get that ppl think it is "op is aqua pov" and "ed is ruby pov" and it does fit that theme, but it just doesmt go as hard as mephisto :/)
(Not me seeing the tumblr posts for this ep and the official art and just letting the most littlest squeals because there is family around but i physically cannot contain myself)
(Unrelated to this episode but i can feel how much the akane nation has grown with this season, this season writes he so well and makes her less unintresting like how she was to me at least in s1)(dont get me wrong, she was cool or whatever, she just failed to keep my intrest in her 0.0)

I thought about using Twitter when I was originally on Instagram, so I can post my art on more platforms. Then Elongated Muskrat bought Twitter.
Now I am here cause Instagram wasn't my thing, and the communities are a lot nicer here, despite this being a hell hole.
Anyway, I love the way you draw Sonic! The Twitter children can go get their binkies and blankies and cry about it.
thank u so much wagh...
yeah twitter is where my most active followerbase is so i unfortunately cant leave or else i'll lose all my income 😭 BUT. usually it isnt like this for me, today was just...weirdly full of hateful people for some reason lol

Hiya!
I was disappeared for 5 months or about kind of it (it wasn't burnout), so, there is my other social networks if you interesting my other arts/fanarts/etc.:
Instagram : @/enri_cocha_here
Pinterest page: @/En's doodles :3
by careful when wath my arts stuff/etc., it can be very bright, so please lower brightness on your screen to not lost yor sight (im sorry if your eyes are sore from my some bright arts--)
And you can call me whatever you want like:
Cocha/Ench/Enrico/Enca/etc.
The main thing is that it should be clear to me that you are addressing me:3
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°
my other blogs (idk when i return to itXD):
@enri-ch (main art acc.)
@dumbestart (doodles acc.) (abandoned*)
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°
Now i have 2 my own stories, whom i write and develop (it MountainsTale, story with my own ocs (I didn't come up with a name after 3 years, but now I'm changing the plot for this, this is the lore of my 7 ocs🥲)
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°
About my au (MountainsTale)
so, what can i say? I havent throw this, just I writing it very slowly and getting confused in my own notes lol. I ofc will post here doodles about it too.
and heeeeeeeey, if you want to chat with my characters use c.ai and share my page @/CochaCocha (but pls remember that bots can say non-canon things about my au and og characters from it--). Especially Rudy's bot, he breaks MountainsTale Gaster's trauma the most:_____)... an canon too-
(i typed 32k lyrics in it,._.,)
and most of they is au-ish a little or completely🙃
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°
if you want you can ship my fan-ut-ocs, but not in proshipper way, ok? i dont approve proshipper thematic with my ocs at all:/
dont ship no one from them, most of them is relatives, I don't approve of i*c*st and pe*op*ilia with my ut ocs.
As an example, I can cite a few of my wasps (I didn't mention their connections earlier because I forgot :(
Fuyou and Kajou are adopted brothers and on my old arts they are kids (I have adult versions of them, but the versions I drew before are only 12 and 14 years old. Those versions that I draw now are 22 and 24 years old).
Lucius and Hazy (old ocs) is brothers to each other and Lucius is 8 years older than Hazy.
And so its with most of my ocs. these skeletons are bros and in Gaster's case, he's Paps' and Sans' father or their brother in my headcanons/fanons.
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°
Special thanks to my always PERFECTLY working damn Internet aaaaaaaaaaaaaghghh😡😡😡😡
(I just live in some damn wilderness😔😔😔)
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°
i love to draw Sans or G often (G in my headcanons/fanons is always Sans' and Paps' bro or dad, so cuz of this i draw him similar to a skeleton to show their kinship).
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°

19 and 24 for the asks
19. you're mad/ashamed/horrified you actually kind of like...
i cant think of anything i actively like despite my better judgement at this current moment in time. so i guess im mad/ashamed/horrified at myself for sticking out through h0hw for so long and being like "well it has its flaws but it's soooo well written, i can look past the issues!!" like i should've fucking known. when the author threw in the transatlantic slave trade for edgy flavor or whatever i was like yeah ok i shouldve seen this coming.
(obligatory "dont send the author hate" disclaimer like harassment is not the answer here. i am criticizing a fic on my blog but that doesn't mean i condone hate.)
24. topic that brings up the most rancid discourse
izzy hands and race lol. like alex sherman said that the writers hadn't written izzy to be explicitly intentionally racist and that apparently gave people the right to shut down anyone who wanted to analyze like, subtext or the connection between "izzy's revenge" and "montezuma's revenge" and the historical significance of that joke. and on the other side of it, some fuckhead heard "izzy hands is racist" and jumped to "that means anyone who likes izzy is racist! im going to go harass izzy likers and anyone who even reblogs art of izzy–" (hi, that's me, im an izzy hater who got called racist for reblogging fanart of izzy lol) "–right now so that they stop talking about izzy."
OR alternative possibility, someone who likes izzy hands wanted to derail every single conversation about izzy hands and race ever so they started sending asks that stole "izzy critical rhetoric" and now nobody can, for example, make a meta post about izzy and homophobia without someone coming in the comments yelling at you for putting your post about izzy hands in the izzy hands tag. or whatever.
like idk who was harassing the fandom on twitter and instagram and tumblr for months but the one thing they did succeed in is derailing what started out as a thoughtful analysis of izzy that was primarily being led by fans of color. every time i see the phrase "izzy critical rhetoric" i lose braincells because the majority of that "rhetoric" came from fans of color, but those interpretations get brushed aside because someone on anon used their arguments in a death threat.

what makes you think they’re not baiting us?
well.... they've been shady for awhile since their return and the louis re-release. i will do a throughout recap for you anon: 
if you need background on louis connection and past campaign with polari i recommend these posts
- prior to this year, polari had been inactive on instagram and did not sell clothing since 2019.
- polari returned nov 9 with a 2022 clothing line. they immediately began teasing a re-release of louis’ 2017 campaign. they also changed their pfp to the ferricadooza art
- on nov 12, the day of the louis launch, the acc posted these messages. the first message has been deleted, the second one is still up
Tumblr media Tumblr media
many things to note about these!!! letters missing due to misspelling, capitalized letters, language reminiscent of dykwya, they are also screenshots of a word processor on a computer (i cant figure it out which one), Look into Polari *harry voice* “we’re all trying!!!!!!”
i also think the writing of these is very interesting which is making me think they’re coded. i tried the polari dictionary, looking into polari writing methods (like letter writing), and even cyphers and cryptography but haven’t found anything :/ tl;dr i have no clue how to decode these past their literal meanings
- after the louis re-release (nov 12) the colour of their pfp had changed about every 24 hours to a different colour used in their 2022 line. this included: peach, yellow and lavender. they skipped green. there is speculation the pfp change was every 28 hours, which is also possible as each colour was up for more than a calendar day
- on nov 13, this was commented under their most recent photo x
Tumblr media
- the acc then posted cyan / turquoise, to their feed. it was quickly deleted. what colour is this??? blue or green??
Tumblr media

- since the release of their non-binary line, louis campaign shirt and sweater are back on their website for sale. those items had been previously removed from sale on nov 13.
- harry has also been posted on the acc a few times (on both their feed and story) since they started their non-binary campaign!!!

other important things to note:
- before they unfollowed to zero, polari followed both louis and harry
- the quality of the pictures they post are TERRIBLE. i have no clue why they would post such low quality pics, especially ones that belong to their own campaigns. they’re so bad they’re joking about it in the comments and captions of their pics lol
my thoughts: no anon, i dont think they’re baiting us. personally, i think this is a lead up to louis is doing another campaign with them, considering they continue to post pics of him (and now harry) on their feed. polari was an insane thing louis was able to pull off at a very interesting time in his career, and considering its history, i think it was a very important project for him. i don’t think they are simply using us or louis for clout, considering all these posts are making the brand look utterly insane to most people. cryptic messaging does not draw people in, it draws US in. we know what to look for and if its worth sticking around. considering the amount of work put into all this, and that its continued for almost a month, whoever is running this acc must be very familiar with louis fanbase.

It’s not really “I thought long and hard on this” it’s more “my brain thinks at 100 mph and you all must suffer the consequences”
…Lysa is that anti vaccine Facebook mom… I see it, it’s terrifying… She’s one of those women you see on Dr Phil…
Instagram Cersei is HILARIOUS every picture would have some type of brand in it, Gucci, Luis Vuitton, Prada any big luxury brand name.
Jamie has his own insta and would post thirst traps and try and photo bomb Cersei’s pictures without a shirt on. She doesn’t find this amusing.
Joffrey tried taking a selfie with Nymeria.
Ned is that dad in the rink with just a t-shirt and shorts insisting on ‘he’s not cold’ while you and Cat and huddled under a joint blanket shivering. Sadly, Lyanna, Jon, Robb and Arya share the same ‘I’m not cold’ mentality.
Lyanna, you and Cat at Arya’s hockey practice… Lyanna is the loudest and has been kicked out of games for profanity (“KICK HIS ASS” being the main culprit) while you and Cat hold up a sweet little banner ‘Arya is coming’ or something corny.
…I’ll stop now, I’m sorry XD
LOL i will gladly suffer esp since modern!au is my weakpoint
Jaime being a thirst trap is just canon akskdkd he makes the most ridic tiktoks .... sir youre over 30 ....
I CANT BELIEVE I DIDNT THINK OF LYANNA shes a terrifying hockey mom and probs coached Jon's hockey and soccer team when he was a kid. She means business!!!! ... but she also brought lots of ice cream for the kids if they lost and gave them encouragement to improve. She'll GO AFTER parents giving her kids a hard time. She totally got tossed out of a few games when Jon was in HS for cussing out parents from the opposing team 😂😅
I like to think that Cat was also active in Sansa's cheerleading or softball in HS but she's a lot more lowkey there compared to Arya's hockey lolol. Probs helped raise money or design team shirts. Ned helps out where he can and gets doted on by all the moms .....
I can see p much all the Stark kids in sports but only Arya really sticks to it thru college. Maybe Jon??? And Rickon because VIOLENCE. Joffrey is signed up by Cersei for all this shit but sucks plus has a bad attitude. Tommen is more interested in art and Myrcella has an alright time with softball or tennis. She mostly just sticks to it bc her friends play.
