Your darlings are not an extension of you.

They are separate, distinct, and independent of you.

Their actions, good or bad, do not reflect on you.

Their values are not influenced or dictated by yours.

They can change their minds or adopt a new belief at any time, and there is nothing you can do about it.

You have no input, no say, and no control over what they do.

It is not your job to make statements about their controversies or shortcomings.

If they remain silent, it's not your responsibility to fill that silence.

You are not their spokesperson; nor are you their ethical guardian.

You might find it exhilarating to hold the reins of cancellation, to take your darlings to task for their shortcomings and demand public penance, but your performative outrage is empty at its center. It is not activism. It is theater-- sound and fury signifying nothing.

Petty policing of those near to you does nothing to bring the real Titan down. It dilutes your strength and keeps you paralyzed.

So if your banner-bearers and heroes aren't pure, how can you be? If you can't explain their actions, how will you explain your own?

The truth is that you don't care what people think about your darlings any more than your darlings themselves care. You're deeply, desperately, abjectly afraid of what people think of YOU.

That's what needs to stop.

MONKEY MAN (2024)

Imagine spending all your energy being cool and mysterious 24/7.

What an idiot have I mentioned I love him?

Idea came from a cool post @nouverx made about Alastor’s possible sleeping habits. 💕

cant tell you how bad it feels to constantly tell other artists to come to tumblr, because its the last good website that isn't fucked up by spoonfeeding algorithms and AI bullshit and isn't based around meaningless likes

just to watch that all fall apart in the last year or so and especially the last two weeks

there's nowhere good to go anymore for artists.

edit - a lot of people are saying the tags are important so actually, you'll look at my tags.

#please dont delete your accounts because of the AI crap. your art deserves more than being lost like that #if you have a good PC please glaze or nightshade it. if you dont or it doesnt work with your style (like mine) please start watermarking #use a plain-ish font. make it your username. if people can't google what your watermark says and find ur account its not a good watermark #it needs to be central in the image - NOT on the canvas edges - and put it in multiple places if you are compelled #please dont stop posting your art because of this shit. we just have to hope regulations will come slamming down on these shitheads#in the next year or two and you want to have accounts to come back to. the world Needs real art #if we all leave that just makes more room for these scam artists to fill in with their soulless recycled garbage #improvise adapt overcome. it sucks but it is what it is for the moment. safeguard yourself as best you can without making #years of art from thousands of artists lost media. the digital world and art is too temporary to hastily click a Delete button out of spite

Young Hero Sent On A Quest meets other young heroes also sent on various quests—only to discover they're all being used as free child labor by the same flaky wizard as a scam to collect magical artifacts.

the Young Heroes' collective new "Quest" is now to Unionize.....

Cricket Cat concept. Do you see it? Do you see my vision? I don't think they'd purr or meow, just chirp with their wings.

Do You Love The Color Of The 413?

[snowrosestudio]

When you go, your footprints will fill with grass. Moss shall cover your tombstone, and as the sun rises, green shall spread over all, in all its shades and hues. This verdigris will overtake your swords and your coins and your battlements and, try as you might, all you hold dear will succumb to it. Your skin, your bones. Your virtue - The Green Knight 2021
