You know, with the news of cohost shutting down (another attempt at a social media site that could be an alternative for tumblr and twitter) I'm just reminded of how few sites even have the features I truly love about tumblr.
Cohost never had the features I appreciate having here. All the other alternatives I've seen are way more like Twitter than tumblr.
You know what I like about tumblr? Especially for this blog?
I can add both images and text intermittently throughout a post. I can write a block of text, insert some images, and then do more text. No other tumblr replacement I've seen can do that. I don't know why.
I really don't want to have to make those extremely long single image art advice posts like the ones you find on deviantart. The posts I make here heavily utilize the text block function to explain my thoughts and give more advice that isn't necessarily visual. Images to convey visual ideas, text to convey everything else.
So until another site shows up that allows me to do that as easily as tumblr does, without requiring me to pay for the ability to upload images of any useful size, without making me jump through the hoops of hosting images elsewhere so I can use their urls for html image embedding or whatever, I'm staying on tumblr.
It's the only site that allows me to make the posts I have here in this convenient format. I'm so tired of the Twitter-Instagram knockoffs. They're only good for having a little portfolio I guess, but artstation is still the more effective site if you just need a portfolio space, and at least artstation allows for some level of nude imagery. Can't even upload college art studio levels of nudity on some of these "art social media" sites.

[ID: a digital painting of Bluestar and Yellowfang, two battle-scarred gray cats, from Warrior Cats. They are cuddling in loaf positions in a den with sunlight streaming in, looking towards the entrance with slight smirks. The image is drawn in a semi-realistic art style with soft colors and shading. End ID]

A little tired of people saying Moon can’t stand up for herself. Like yeah I think one of the flaws she has is she is too lenient and forgiving, but also in her situation it’s VERY HARD not to be. And it’s very situational, usually manifesting with Five Pebbles.
She stops talking to you if you annoy her enough, and only starts again if you win her back over. You have to put in the work. She isn’t “rolling over” and letting things happen to her, despite the fact that she is in absolutely no position to bargain. As stated by her, her kindness and her words are the ONLY thing she has. So her taking those away from you, the player, is absolutely her standing up for herself.
Everyone brings up how she handles Five Pebbles (esp the comms thing) and it is incredible to me just how many people lay this entirely at her feet when the game states over and over again that even despite Moon’s intentional feather-light influence over him, he still resents her for being his superior. He seeks out a mentor who is her opposite.
He wants to be something more than what he is, wants to be detached from her, and she can’t do anything about that but do the best she can to exert as little influence over him as possible.
She is stuck between a rock and a hard place here, and was betting on her kindness to have fostered enough mutual respect that she wouldn’t have to resort to forced communications. She was wrong. He was driven by fierce desperation, something that she wasn’t privy to. And she paid for it.
Yes, this is a flaw of hers. But it’s not a universal one. (the rest of the iterators look to her for help- she’s the group senior for gods sake- and people act like she can’t take a stand) I genuinely doubt Moon would’ve waited so long to used forced comms if it were happening to anyone else. If it were being committed by anyone else. And that just makes the tragedy even sweeter.
