Reasons I'll like but not reblog an artist's art:
1. I am, it's just in a queue
2. It's art I really like, I just don't want it on my blog (which is just an archive for posts I want to go back and look at later)
3. It's something I like but don't really understand the context of like a fandom I'm unfamiliar with or OCs and don't want to reblog because it makes tagging difficult which messes up my organization
4. It would go on a blog (either main or side) where I have no followers and don't have the blog TO gain followers or communicate with and it literally would not spread to anyone for that reason
5. I've been on this site for 8 years and even then have memory issues and use likes as a way to mark what posts I have and haven't already seen/reblogged
6. And the one you want to hear the least: yeah. Sometimes art is nice enough for a like but not a reblog. It's called preferences. It's not a matter of technical skill or effort put into the piece or fandom they're not in or whatever. Sometimes you just don't vibe with something that much. That is NORMAL. A like and no reblog there shows, at least for me, "hey I can appreciate the concept behind it/technical skill/etc" but I won't reblog because for some other reason I just don't like it enough to have it on my blog. If the idea that not everyone will like your art enough to show it around to your friends is that big of a blow to your ego then you need to stop posting it because that is EXTREMELY unhealthy. It does you no good and only serves to ruin your relationship with your art. Stop
I have had it with this likescolding. “Tumblr doesn’t have an algorithm so likes don’t actually do anything” motherfucker I am not clicking that heart to give some post better ~algorithmic visibility~ I am clicking that heart to help my internet friend microdose on serotonin as god fucking intended
#saying this on a blog where i specifically have tried to let go on tagging things and dont comment on stuff#but this is how ive operated for the past 8 years#if an artist says reblogs > likes even if it's something i really like i wont actually click like#if you want to beg for less engagement thats on you. i wont engage then lol#some of the above reasons other than 'i just don't like it that much' i will leave replies on the art complimenting it like#i support artists#but this mindset you've all got is deeply unhealthy lmaooo#and the whole argument of 'but spreading my art gets people to commission me etc etc' is a big ol conversation about capitalism#and forced monetization of everything to determine it's value#but to cut all that short: if you're trying to survive off of commissions only and you're struggling to get an audience#the solution is to cater to an audience. that's it. yeah you'll probably lose a lot of passion and shit in the process which sucks but if#your complaint is a lack of engagement because you absolutely desperately need commission money#find a group of people and give them what they want. if its about surviving then SURVIVE#just posting your ocs or landscapes often wont do that on tumblr#not unless you're really lucky#all this is assuming you've got a style people find interesting etc etc#basically the reality is you're better off changing yourself than unreasonably asking other people to change in that situation#if you want customers you have to work to get them#(all that is directed specifically at people who dont just want attention and use the argument they need commission money)#not even covering a past reason i would like and not reblog: being raised in a cult and having queer art on my blog being a fight to not get#sent to conversion therapy

The funniest LGBT+ headcanon for Nat, which is also the only one I have for Nat, is that she's bi but she doesn't like anyone on her team like that.

y'all my mom asked me to travel w her this weekend because she didn't wanna travel alone and like. we have a rough relationship but i'm a girl's girl u know i didn't bother asking where she was going i was like yeah sure. cause i'm a girl's girl.
turns out we're flying to a trump rally.
she got me shirts and everything.
i'm literally a genderfluid lesbian (who is never a guy if anybody wants to start shit abt that). i dress alt most the time. i literally AM alt i listen to rock and shit. fuck two of my celebrity crushes r shin ryujin and emma watson i don't know how much gayer that can get. i don't even LIKE politicians or politics in general because i believe all power inevitably corrupts.
literally going to a rally to a man that fucking hates ppl like me dear god how am i supposed to gaslight gatekeep girlboss my wa out of this
on the bright side however i can at least style the women for trump t shirt (she wants me to wear this one to the airport) so it just says women. however the actual trump rally.... hhh
yall this is literally so tragic i might make a tiktok abt this

hmmm looked it up and it looks very difficult to persuade a court in a sibling custody case without evidence of neglect or physical abuse. i did not want to press a physical abuse axis in charlie and the vampos because the emphasis was supposed to be the prevalence of abuse in non-tangible ways. but i dont think running away bc your parents want to send you to conversion therapy, like, counts in the eyes of the law.

writing a list of ocd triggers for my psychiatrist and it’s literally so embarrassing bcz it’s things like “seeing people” “being in a room with only one other person” “sitting on the left side of the sofa” like i can’t do anything
