Do not apologize for only doing your hobby when you have time and energy to do so.
Unless you're actively getting paid, providing enrichment for others is not your job.

i mean i should probably stop saying shit just to be mean
#on the other hand....#the social environment cultivated on here almost demands it lest i let people walk all over me#definitely one of those skills i picked up in childhood to survive social situations back then#not a great skill. not even one i particularly like using. in fact i hate this part of me that feels the need to be judgemental#the logical part of me- the more ~~evolved~~ part of my spirit you could say knows its stupid and has hated doing it since forever#i completely stopped for a while. and then my abusive ex did all the shit they did so i felt like i had to dig that judgemental asshole sid#back up to defend myself bc ik thats the level they operate on. but it also started being the level a lot of ppl on here operated on soon#after (and im not entirely unconvinced they weren't an influence as to why people became more of an asshole on here)#(them or twitter. probably a mix of both but mostly twitter users coming here lol. also had to be an ass on twitter to survive)#so now i feel like i have to cling on to this side of myself i was more than happy to let rot in the dirt bc if i dont then people are gonn#use my vulnerability and niceness and lack of desire to use ad hom n shit against me so they can bully and abuse me and say whatever#and i have to keep this image up of being unphased and happy all the time and then i snap and then its a whole problem to people#so basically be nothing ever bc ppl on here will think thats you forever moral of story i guess im not sure.#best advice i can give: dont exist online publicly in any significant way. if you wanna be a pfpless. bioless account that is your god give#fuckin right okay. never are you obligated to be part of this shit and im personally telling you its hell and if i knew then what i knew#now i would have never started coming on to tumblr in the first place. its cool i learned about all this queer stuff or whatever but it#sucks otherwise#tumblr. twitter. insta. any social media where the point is to make posts and write posts more than anything else#dont bother. so much is lost in text-style communication. bridging gaps is nearly impossible. you will always be misunderstood#i think thats the case for most vocal communication but ESPECIALLY digitally

had an argument with my sister on the ride home from my friend's :-:
#I don't like when we argue cause we almost never do#like a serious argument#but you know what ? no ! I'm not completely inconsiderate because YOU put me in an uncomfortable situation and I said#“hey this sucked dont do that again”#if I'm so inconsiderate than you do all that stuff ON YOUR OWN !! I won't help you#no need to finish editing the video we did together FOR YOUR FUCKING SOCIAL MEDIA#record your videos on ur own with no help#take pictures yourself#write scripts without asking me for my opinion#delete every single post from your account that I had ANYTHING to do with#delete every single comment and revision I made on your fucking book and see how many publishable pages you have left#get rid of every single casting I made for YOUR FUCKING STORY and see how many actors you have left#I do shit for you ALL THE TIME ! we BOTH DO ! But I don't think it's cool throw those things in your face to win an argument#SO I DONT !!!! doesn't matter how fucking vindicated I'd feel by doing it#I dont like it so I dont. it opens up a precedent if I say one thing and do the other when I'm mad#Saying “i feel you weren't considerate of me when you said this” is VERY DIFFERENT from just saying I'm COMPLETELY INCONSIDERATE#YOU DO THIS OUT OF OBLIGATION !!!! YOU ONLY DRIVE ME PLACES BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO NOT OF THE GOODNESS OF YOUR OWN HEART#AND YOU STILL CHOSE TO THROW THAT IN MY FACE WHEN YOU GOT UPSET#GROW UP !!!! GROW UP !!! GROW UP !!!#LEARN how to talk about your issues and ONLY the issue at hand !!!! you don't get to say what you want cause you think you're winning !!!!#NO ONE'S WINNING !!!! WE'RE BOTH UPSET !!!! WE'RE BOTH UPSET AND WE'RE BOTH FEELING LIKE GARBAGE TO THE OTHER !!!!#(yes i realize I cant actually grow tf up too and talk this out)#(tomorrow tho it's past 1am already and I gotta shower)

Uh oh, been in a new country for long enough that I'm starting to feel I'm slowly losing my friends by having moved abroad!
#idk man you see them on social media and realise that you're not really part of their lives anymore#and you miss so much of their development as people#and you wonder if the messages you send are starting to get one sided#and whether you're an obligation because of your history as opposed to genuinely wanted#and you brought it all on yourself by moving away its not their fault#idk man i loved living abroad but it comes with hella costs#love i mean#oops its real sad bitch hours

You probably noticed that lately I am less on tumblr and honestly, it is so freeing. I still like to scroll my dash in the mornings. And I will never be completely gone. But the ability to just decide to be done with tumblr now and do something else even though I haven't reached the end of my dash yet... it is so good. But also... I had the feeling I had more fun on this page when I still would get more asks and engagement. I know I don't post that much anymore outside of what a shitshow this year was, but even during that, I managed to do some art and some writing. But almost nobody is engaging with me anymore. Sometimes, when I post an ask meme, I am in luck and get a few asks, but so often I reblog them and get nothing (and seeing people reblog them from me without engaging is also not nice then), so oftentimes I don't even reblog them anymore. In short, it is nice to be less on social media, but also I have the feeling I don't want to be here anymore because nobody engages anyway... Also stopped video game stories because I had the feeling nobody was interested in them at all.. I sometimes make a post now and then, but I post maybe... 30 % of the video games I play nowadays...
#little talks about stuff#of course nobody is obliged to interact with me#but I miss the community the internet wants had#when we still were in message boards#it was rare for threads to not have a single reply#now everyone only seems to consume consume consume#and I think it is a social media fault#ah well#I am going to brush my teeth and then do the laundry#and then free time!#have to make the most out of my days off work

You have no idea how happy it makes me to see likes/reblogs on my account and I appreciate you lots *hugs and kisses* 💜🩵
#like i usually dont get that much traction on any social media#which i mean thats your choice#you're not obligated to like me#but still glad you enjoy my silly pixel people

Hiya, I'm reading throgh your backlog rn (sorry for not leaving an excessive amount of likes, my browsers bein a jerk) and noticed that giniroangou's translation notes on Kurogane and Fai's convo in Outo is tagged as Vol 31 so shows up in the middle of the country of Jade, which is a mite confusing.
Thank you for letting me know! I've found the post and fixed the tags so it should show up in the correct chapter now. :)
#And thank you for reading all the old liveblogs too!#You are never obligated to physically like a post dont worry#I try to be immune from The Social Media Feedback Conditioning#replies#anon#Nick also talks about other things

Me: I am a totally reasonable person capable of accepting that some people won’t enjoy my favorite media and not freak out over that.
Someone: (expresses even a mildly negative opinion about Psychonauts)
Me: I am no longer reasonable, I am ready to murder.
#i have to admit I have an extremely parasocial relationship with psychonauts#because my dad is/was personal friends with Ron Gilbert and Tim Schafer#(wrt tim less so but still)#so I feel like I have a moral obligation to stan all their works#and objectively yes criticism isn’t the end of the world#but any time someone makes like a subjective value judgement like#”oh this sucks so bad they were so stupid for doing this”#I want to smash someone’s kneecaps#excuse me those are my dad’s friends and you are being mean to them!#objectively it’s not like they read mean comments about them on social media#but frankly on principle I think calling developers stupid for not agreeing with your subjective tastes#is extremely shitty of someone to do#psychonauts#psychonauts 2#One part of why I think I feel this way also has to do with the fact I was following the development of the game since it was announced#and if you aren’t aware#microsoft fairly late into the game’s development gave Doublefine a huge amount of money towards development#and the creators have made statements that prior to that they legit weren’t even going to have boss battles#because they had to cut them out as a result of the budget issues#so I feel like basically any criticism of the second game for being rushed or underdeveloped or even like anything#NEEDS to keep that in mind and factor it into their critique#treating flaws of a game as deliberate failures on the part of developers is my berserkbutton#my Posts

i am THIS CLOSE to deleting all my social media apps at least temporarily it’s shit for my mental health and i know it
#idk i probably won’t#or just tiktok because that one’s the worst#i just feel like my ability to think normally and be a rational human is being slowly ruined#by constantly absorbing everyone’s extreme black and white opinions on the internet#and there’s always new ‘drama’ for lack of a better word that just makes me constantly anxious and upset#to simplify it i basically just feel chronically online#not to mention how much time i waste on meaningless shit like tiktok#idk i just feel so drained by feeling obligated to get emotionally involved in every single argument online ever#i hate investing so much of my happiness in the internet and people who have no idea i exist#don’t worry i’ll still be on discord and stuff if i do end up doing it#this is not about my online friends#just not like public platforms#at least for a while#sorry i’ve just been so exhausted by social media recently#brain thoughts#rants

Even though I will be taking it easier this next year, as I can recognize that I need to change myself and my life and some of my choices aren't healthy, I want to once again say thank you to everyone who has been there for me and my art, especially those who have been there since the very beginning. To those I don't see as often, I hope you were able to enjoy my work while you were around. To the friends I managed to make, I hope you all know how appreciated you are and how much your support means to me. Even if I'm not around as much next year, I will still do my best to not abandon you completely since we've had such good times, and even if I do taper off in my presence, I hope I am able to bring a smile or two to this space in 2023.
I'm definitely going to keep focusing on what makes me happy, only this time around I'm going to do my damndest to not let that be affected by how many other people enjoy it with me. I am just one small creator in an enormous sea, and my splash is not that big. I'm not a big name creator and I most likely never will be no matter how much I put out. And that's okay. It's time I learn that the people I love enjoying my work is far more important than numbers. If every single one of my posts flops from now on, so be it! Easier said than done, but. At least I had fun!!! As much as I want to bring freshness to the table and as much as I wish it were spread around, ultimately the goal is to have fun. Losing sight of the fun is definitely one of the reasons I need to take a step back!
That said, I'm gonna keep reblogging my own work like an annoying lil shit. Be proud of your work!!
Happy new year 💓
#i need a break from social media and fandom in general#until i am in a better place i think#sometimes it's hard not to feel undervalued when you draw a billion things for a fandom#but like. nobody asked me or forced me to. i did that. and no one is obligated to enjoy it#do i wish they did? ofc. but come on now#but yes that and many other things are why i need to take some time and REFLECT i think#it's bittersweet and it might not even work but!#anyways. i hope everyone is healthy and happy this 2023

wait wtf when on earth did i hit 900 followers?! 900+ people care about what i write and have to say --- i am ASTOUNDED and HONORED.
i am desperately waiting for may to be over so i can properly thank you guys (finally write things, hopefully NQA which is ALMOST DONE and I've been making progress on thanks to @kay-elle-cee)!
#not hp#kat chats#it's so crazy because i have a social media presence irl with 1200+ followers on instagram but these are ppl obligated to keep up with me#vs internet strangers who genuinely want to follow me and see my writing#and that is so touching#when i was younger i had a blog that hit 500 subscribers and even that is a Lot for just random musings on books and life#and now i'm almost to 1000 on here ?!?!

I have this irrational rule in my head that for every Finnish Blorbos post I reblog, I have to reblog an equivalent number of MCR posts, or everyone will hate me and unfollow me.
#from 2016 to 2021 this was exclusively an MCR blog#and I felt guilty when I started writing about other bands#I still get new MCR-blog followers constantly#because people are still finding my old fics#I had to change my bio because I was still getting new fic requests that I had to delete#i feel like the vast majority of my current followers don’t care about BC or LS#but the truth is. I am not going to write about MCR again#I rarely listen to them anymore#I don’t even follow them on social media anymore#this is all out of obligation
