[originalartblog]

Apparently much-needed reminder that reposting artists' art (by saving the images or screenshotting them and reuploading them yourself) on other platforms without the artists' expressed permission and without credit is theft and an insult to their passion and craft. You are profiting (in views, in attention, in feedback) from someone else's work and ideas, who do not get that feedback for sharing their creation.

If you are an art reposter, you are a thief and I have no respect for you.

On average, what is the total MONTHLY amount that you spend on dining out*?

*(This doesn't only count going out to restaurants, but also stuff like picking up fast food to bring home, getting a coffee on the way to work, getting a premade sandwich from a grocery store deli during lunch, buying a quick snack from a convenience store or food cart whilst walking somewhere, ordering a pizza or any other food to be delivered to your home, etc.)

*(If you often dine out in groups/as a household: calculate and divide the costs so that you get a Per Person average. This is for YOU individually, NOT the total household/group costs)

(I'm sure polls similar to this have been made before (very common topic), I just haven't personally seen one that I can remember, so, I was curious to do my own! I was discussing this with a group of people today and it was very interesting to see how widely the number varied between individuals. :0c )

(Reblog for bigger sample size if you can, and feel free to explain your answer in tags if there's anything extra to add!)

one trc opinion i have that i don't really have an entire explanation for is that i think blue and henry are the only characters with like a normal knowledge of pop culture. like they've seen movies they've heard music. henry definitely more than blue but despite the fact that blue's tastes would be more weird I DO think she knows about more mainstream things. she has heard top 40 radio she has watched a disney channel movie she is capable of making references. everyone else on the other hand? gansey is not aware of anything that came into being this century. adam gives strong 'doesn't listen to music' energy. you ask him what he likes and he's like i don't know. i just don't listen to music. ronan is probably the most perplexing case because we already know he had a weird fucking childhood in which he only read alice in wonderland (and i believe it) and YET in his routine in cdth he has a designated 'movie night'. WHAT movies is he watching! i simply refuse to believe this man is capable of making a Reference. at least not a normal one. he'll just cite whatever irish myth his dad told him about as if everyone else is gonna be like oh you're so right ronan this is JUST like that part in the táin bó cúailnge. am i making any sense tonight ladies. gansey does not know who taylor swift is

[destielmemenews]

Due to a lot of feedback on the nature of this blog, and how the meme format can come across as insensitive and shameless, I'm considering switching to a news only post format, without the use of the destiel meme. I greatly enjoy sharing information about current events, and would like to continue doing so in some way.

So I am making this poll to ask everyone their opinion on the way I do things, and for suggestions to improve my content.

five and many more: a timeline summary

(For legal reasons, all of this is alleged.)

Ref. links: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

1984, is the first time Neil Gaiman released a book. 

In 1985, he got married and started his career as a comic book writer and in 1986, he assaulted Julia Hobsbawm.

This took place in Chalk Farm, London, where he forcibly kissed her and shoved her down on the sofa at her own studio flat before she escaped. According to The Crown Prosecution Service, “sexual assault is where one person intentionally touches another person sexually without their consent. The touching can be done with any part of the body or with an object.” In her own words, she described it as “an aggressive, unwanted pass” and that she still remembers it even now. 

Through 1987 and 2002 he progressed his career and published the famous book Coraline. A new year happens and he is in his early-forties and is thriving off of the success of his several money-making works, at a book signing event in Sarasota, Florida. There he hits it off with a young 18 year old (K) and they start dating. Two years later, in 2005, with two more awards under his belt, he forcibly penetrated that young twenty year old who told him not to because of a painful infection.

After another two years, he and his first wife divorced.

It's 2012, five years later and one year into a new marriage and at another book signing, Neil, age 52, immediately assaulted Claire (pseudonym) with a non-consensual kiss. Throughout keeping contact Neil had escalated this with video and phone calls that had a heavy sexual connotation where he appeared to either be naked or tried to instigate something. All of this accumulated into sexually assaulting her on a tour bus. Neil’s contact with her lasted until 2014 where he had promptly accused her in a text message that she had used him for sex.

Within the same year, Neil had enough money to buy a property, and met Caroline Wallner, 55, and her at-the time current husband. With a deal to do odd jobs for Neil and his wife to live there until she could own a five-acre plot, it wasn’t long before things turned sour. A divorce in 2017 sent everything spiraling, with her former husband fired, she in a once financially stable position, was now completely dependent on Neil Gaiman who used that to his advantage. Using her lack of financial stability to get himself sexual favors, he coerced her into a sexual-only, notably uninformed BDSM-entering territory while she was emotionally vulnerable, not accepting denials. This lasted until the summer of 2021, and in December of that year she and him went to court, what awaited her was $275k of compensation and a non-disclosure agreement (nda).

It wouldn’t take long for another woman to experience Neil Gaiman’s repeated offenses as well because in February of 2022, Scarlett (a pseudonym), age 23, a newly hired nanny, was sexually assaulted in the bathtub at his house. Neil, age 61, climbed into the bathtub with her and coerced her into having sexual relations. He too, in his coercion of her, made her financially dependent on him and brought BDSM elements to an inexperienced young woman who could not say no.

Since July 3rd of this year, 2024, five women have come out with sexual assault allegations aimed at Neil Gaiman. They all have several things in common with each other: either being young and naive, a fan of his, or put in a vulnerable spot financially or emotionally. Throughout the years and according to the stories, Neil progressively gets more bold and aggressive in his attempts for sexual gain. There are many more stories out there and whispers on the internet of how predatory Neil Gaiman has been in the industry. However, focusing on the five women who came out to speak and pushing their voice is an important part of the discussion.

Staying silent will only protect his peace.

i want there to be like a cybertronian stan twitter or smth and half of it is just people thirsting over optimus and the other half is like, stan twitter shit

[dee-daa]

as shitty as what in hell is bad is as a game (especially due to pb's greed), the community on this site is absolutely wonderful so far and seeing all the posts on my home page makes me so happy ^^

[skinnypaleangryperson]

Everything has been so pathetically genuinely terribly cringe to me lately, to the point where I don't get joy out of anything anymore, but I'm trying

I'm aware enough to know that this is a side effect of severe depression and stagnance and mundaneity and generally being sick of being alive and hating everything for it

My coworker has a new Ethel Cain sticker on their water bottle that they brought to work and for a second I forgot that Ethel Cain is a musician that does indeed exist outside of Tumblr.

[cozylittleartblog]

I thought newgrounds died years ago. Pleasantly surprised to see it's still around

i haven't used it since middle school to play demented flash games and watch animations, i was also surprised to know it survived the flash purge lol. a lot of people are recommending it though and it never hurts to have yet another platform to fall back on. i didn't even know it was a regular art site either tbh 🥴

i think the diamond dogs should play improv games just bc it would amuse me, an ex theater kid, specifically

Actors AU:

What do you think some social media accounts look like for some of the actors?

Bc regulus definitely just. Posts memes and that's all 😭

Imagine X's is like, a chemistry/robotics social media because he's a nerd but from time to time he puts out scientific memes. He's the kind to just use social media for the purpose of sharing his inventions.

Same with Voyager who posts videos about Violins without a single word being spoken. She just posts herself playing the violin, explains a couple things with text and yea that's it. She's very famous for her unique way of acting, which is literally just staring while text appears.

Blonney and Sweetheart are more like celebrities, they handle their accounts very carefully and post only what's necessary

Meanwhile there's 37 and her long and public collection of mathematic videos and mathematic memes to share with the world. Should she? No. Will she? Yeah.

Eternity, Ms. Newbabel and Bessmert are purely work related, they post nothing about themselves, just work and business which helps sell. They're famous actresses and also business women (Bessmert is a hc, she probably runs a fashion shop that's very famous and that's how her husband got into the R1999 backstage crew)

Then there's Vertin, Vert and Regulus or as we all know them, the sillies. They post memes 24/7 of funny backstage images.

Isolde does use her social media that much since she's more of a traditional person, she just watches a couple videos but doesn't do much with her social media aside from following her brother and Klara. Theophil uses it for art, his Instagram, Twitter and Tumblr (yeah he probably has one) are FILLED with request about the show but he also takes commissions. Trista doesn't use social media because not only is she young but she's evil, she's a menace.

Mercuria is the kind to just post about her gfs or her tarot predictions and divinations. Her old content was about making weed brownies but now she's making meditations and stuff. Yeah, we all thank Matilda for that.

Speaking of the duckling, she uses her social media to post pictures. I hc she wants to be a photographer so she posts a lot of pictures she took, lately she's been receiving some help from Click so her pictures are more professional. She sneaks in one or two pictures about her gfs under the pretense of practice. She probably doesn't use TikTok, just for following Mercuria.

Kanjira doesn't use hers as much. She doesn't post much aside from like, a picture of something she liked once a month and just follows her friends. She's not an avid poster or someone who likes messing around on the internet.

Kakania? She advertises her father's mirror company and her own career. She takes a professional approach to social media but once in a while she will post a picture of her friends. Marcus, Isolde, Theophil and Greta are seen very often since they share the same season. Pain it is to see "Taking coffee with my friend Isolde!" In her posts.

Sonetto doesn't post either, she's probably very centered in her studies, just like Melania and Bkornblume. Schneider manages her account for her, which includes pictures of herself, Sonetto and a couple videos and announcements on her own career. Not much.

Mesmer Jr doesn't have one altogether, she shares account with Vertin just to see some things but doesn't plan on making her own.

Jessica's social media is her Xbox account. She just uses her phone to play and let's Blonney manage her social media accounts, she only uses YouTube to watch videos and playthroughs.

Greta and Adler use theirs for their respective fields of work, not many unprofessional slips but they're accidentally funny when criticizing so they're like this kind of funny celebrity on accident. Their responses are like Duolingo's

Marcus uses hers for reading and buying books. TikTok is for harmless recommendations, Instagram is for buying books and twitter is for more book stuff. She also started promoting her own works and ideas there, though her content is managed by Greta after an accident.

Windsong uses it for nerd purposes, like watching chem videos, new theories or plain ol game theories and explanations, she even posts her own theories and Ley Lines revival investigations. Meanwhile Vila is more educational, she's on the educational side of social media and well, doesn't post anything but she follows a lot of very smart people

Lilya doesn't have a single post, she's just there to do her thing which is watch videos at ungodly hours of the morning with Druvis. And Druvis posts plant caretaking videos on YouTube with like, a thousand subscribers. Now that she's famous, she has many more, but she's still posting the same content.

sometimes i think why it's actually surprisingly hard for me to look for content with some of my faves here and then i remember that i blocked. so many people and i go "oh yeah that makes sense"
