#some shitposting I think | Explore Tumblr posts and blogs

To illustrate this post by @mayahawkse I would like to visualize to you the difference:

A post in 2023:

A post in 2014:

A zoom out of the same post:

This is what a community looks like.

See how in 2023 almost all of the reblogs come from the OP, from their few hours/days in the tag search. Meanwhile in 2014 the % of reblogs from OP is insignificant, because most of the reblogs come from the reblogs within the fandom, within the micro-communities formed there. You didn't need to rely on tags, or search, or being featured. Because the community took care of you, made sure to pass the work between themselves and onto their blog and exposed their followers to it. It kept works alive for years.

It's not JUST the reblog/like ratio that causing this issue, it's the type of interaction people have. They're content with scrolling and liking the search engine, instead of actually having a reblogging relationship with other blogs in their community.

Anyways, if you want to see more content you like, the only true way to make it happen is to reblog it. Likes do not forward content in no way but making OP feel nice. Reblogs on the other hand make content eternal. They make it relevant, they make it exist outside of a fickle tumblr search that hardly works on the best of days.

If you want more of something, reblog it.

#i said i wont ever rant about this bc it's unseemly but HONESTLY.#you simply cannot complain about not having enough of A or B or C and then never reblog / interact with the content you love.#If you LOVE something you cannot just leave a like and silently wait for more to happen #I know countless of content creators that simply stopped doing art/writing fic/making edits #You need to understand that fandom content is made FOR the fandom FOR the engagement FOR the entertainment and fun it makes.#If a content creator does not have fun IN the fandom-- why would they spend the scares free time they have on making this content?#And we're not talking about things that you don't like-- no one expects you to reblog things you don't like.#However I think it's safe to say that when a post has more than 5k it's not some random shitpost with no value.#tumblr issues #tumblr #content creators #buns.txt #something something please don't starve your local clowns

renaissance dogys

characters belong to @canisalbus

#i love i loveeee ludovica sm shes so cute. ive only known her for 5 min but i fell in love with her design and i love her friendship #with vasco ^_^ i think them having each other makes hiding their sexualities a little less lonely so thats sweet #ik in modern au shes considered an old friend of vascos but i originally assumed she and vasco fake dated in college or smth #to get their parents off their backs until they came out properly and continued to stay in touch as friends after LMAO #im not very familiar with period fashion so i had to look at renaissance costumes as reference. but i have to admit i love the #high waistlines used in some of their dresses.. i have a minidress with a similar high waistline pressed against the chest and sleeves #also if u squint machete is holding a little paper bag in the 2nd photo which is supposed to be his lunch courtesy of vasco <3 #idk what ludovica would wear in modern au but i thought poet shirts might suit her because theyre like somewhere evenly between #masc and femme. to me anyway.. based on observation lesbians seem to love poet shirts and i think she looks good in one #these are all shitposts.. ill draw serious art of them one of these days i promise #i listened to fools rush in and it reminds me of them.. especially when it goes 'though i see the danger there / if theres a chance #for me then i dont care' like its so poignant and bittersweet.. a little indulgent when u think of those small moments they have togethr #save me gay catholic furries... gay catholic furries... gay catholic furries save me #my art #myart #doodles #fanart #others ocs #canisalbus #fur #furry art #machete #vasco #vaschete #ludovica #sfw fur #furry #anthro

Funny how things sometimes need only a spark to spiral further than you ever thought it would

Did you know that song was written in 1892

I've been curating some of these things and I think it's time to let them loose into the world. My hope is that at least one of them is funny

I love that hickey is trying to insert himself into some kind of relationship with crozier but like every niche he tries is already filled by someone else. us irish should stick together - no, crozier's colonial parallel is silna. let me be the little guy on the captain's shoulder - no, that's jopson. surely the flogging will change something - yeah, for thomas hartnell. well he hates me now but he'll surely see my inner depths - no, that's fitzjames.

and then hickey finally technically succeeds at becoming like the only man crozier wouldn't forgive - he kills a whole family! he massacred the men! he makes him eat goodsir! he loots fitzjames' boots from his grave! he leads them to doom and worse doom! - and when he is giving his villain monologue crozier only reaction is just. you could have joined up.

#the terror #they do some brilliant things with hickey's writing but also it's kind of funny #and I do think he's a parallel to crozier too just not in the way he wanted/hoped #also I like that 'you could have joined up' is right there with silna's look when goodsir is like we are dying for the economy #i love the crozier&silna paralllels...#also generally I love antagonists trying to force a relationship with the protagonist who is like who knows you #i blame reading black cat in my formative years #this is obviously more shitpost than polished meta but it is a thing I noticed

I don't recall the books ever specifying what weapons Elrond primarily fought with and while he is usually given a sword by both the movies and fandom, I think it would be incredibly hilarious if he came out with fucking Dramborleg. They are getting ready for battle and he brings out this huge ass axe his gramps once killed balrogs with. Sir, you were discussing poetry 10 minutes ago, where did that thing come from

#or was it balrogs? it's been a while since i've read it #but he 100% killed some firey things during the fall of gondolin so whatever #the comedic effect of this comes from the fact that literally no one would expect elrond to have an axe #he just doesn't seem like the axe type #i know tuor's axe went to númenor (so presumably elros had it) and later was probably lost in the downfall #but consider: i don't think it was said where in númenor the axe was?#so if elendil had it he WOULD take it with him #and if the royalty had it #isildur already commited fruit-robbery what's one more #or elrond just got it from númenor before the downfall whatever #i am not figuring out the logistics behind my shitpost (this time)#elrond #tolkien #silmarillion #lotr

I was working on this video when the Investigations Collection Announcement dropped, then proceeded to spiral for the next few days before finally finishing it.

#my art #ace attorney #ace attorney posting #ace attorney shitpost #ace attorney investigations #ace attorney series #aai #aai1 #aai2 #aa investigations #aai collection #yumihiko ichiyanagi #sebastian debeste #eustace winner #ema skye #kay faraday #detective gumshoe #dick gumshoe #miles edgeworth #franziska von karma #the ‘bestie’ line was the one thing that convinced me to make this video since I thought that was a cute nickname for Debeste.#THEN the announcement proceeeded to render that nickname non canon.#this video is now the Ship of Theseus.#still think the character choices fit though.#there’s another AA version with this audio on YT done in objection.lol and the only character consistent is Miles which I find really funny #Miles taking psychic damage over absurd logic is my favorite genre of AA content #some parts of this video got super scuffed because I forgot to turn on bicubic interpolation but oh well

i think i made a mistake while realistifying him. he turned out a little adorable

#maybe he'd look different from a side angle or with his signature grin. i'll have to investigate that tomorrow #maybe i should've mixed in some tanuki or weasel instead of relying on pure cat refs #i theorize that his pitchfork tail is actually an underdeveloped cobra head since i think hes the tutorial chimera.#so i made his tail kinda mutate-y and scaly!#shitpost #sketch #my art #twisted wonderland #twst #grim

The existence of Ratio's vertical pupils indicate that his species evolved as potentially apex ambush predators, while Aventurine's more diamond-shaped pupils suggest Avgins occupied a middle rung of the Sigonian food chain, with divided need to both track prey and maintain wide-angle vision to identify predatory threats. In this essay, I will--

#honkai star rail #aventurine #dr. ratio #2am shitpost coming atcha #but I do actually think one of the funniest things about Honkai Star Rail #that just never gets acknowledged #is that just about everyone comes from a different planet #with a long enough history that even if they were all initially human #they would have successfully genetically diversified into separate species #like every ship in Star Rail is an inter-species romance #and actually sitting down to think about the genetic science #behind some of these character design choices #makes it all ridiculously funny #catch Dr. Ratio back on his home planet lurking in the bushes #using that insane depth perception to slingshot his dinner into submission #😂😂😂#everything is funny if you apply too much logic to it
