I've seen the "comfort character but they've never had a day of comfort in their lives" post floating around lately and so I propose:

I am THEIR comfort character. I have a pretty good thing going on. usually I'm nice. sometimes I cry but that's alright because I have things to do about it. Let them watch the imaginary show I'm in and feel a little happier. let them be happy, my god. every single character on screen or on paper has had the worst time of their lives. i have an inkling of a feeling they need waaayyyy more comfort than I do. so.

#just thinking #how comfort characters really need their own #i offer this servive of being a comfort!#they need it more than i do #viktor lol #jayce talis #starkid #richie lipschitz #jinx arcane #jinx #bucky barnes #do you see the trend in comf characters uet #do you see the trend of deep deep trauma #nico di angelo #comfort character #jess mariano

the men and boys are innocent too.

we cry "the innocent women and children" to appeal to the masses, to try and force their sympathy, but the men and boys are innocent too.

I have seen sons crying out for their mothers, their fathers, their siblings. I have seen them break down at the loss of their families. I have seen them cling to their dead and grieve.

I have seen fathers cradle their dead children, seen them kiss their faces and hold their little hands. I have seen them faint with grief when asked to identify the dead. I have seen them carry their sons and daughters. I have seen them fasting to provide what little they can for their families.

I have seen men and boys digging through the rubble with just their bare hands, I have seen them comforting strangers, playing with children, rocking them, hushing them, even if the face of such imminent danger. I have seen them cry, seen them grieve, seen them break down into each other's arms, seen them be selfless, beyond selfless, becoming something I don't have a word for.

I have seen the men who are doctors refuse to leave their patients, even when they have no medicine or supplies to give them, even when they're threatened with bombings. I have seen fathers who have lost all their children pick orphans up into their arms and proclaim them their child so they are not alone. I have seen men and boys digging pets out of the rubble.

the men are innocent too. the men and boys are being hurt and killed too. the men and boys are grieving too. the men and boys are scared too. the men and boys are fighting to save their people too. the men and boys deserve to be fought for too.

#I don't have words to describe how I feel for the men of Palestine #the things I have seen them do after everything they have been through goes so far beyond selfless #what do you call this? this prevailing goodness and willingness to give everything they have and more? what word even touches it?#I don't think there is one #islamophobia has conditioned us to see these men and boys as evil and dangerous #we see this in how we speak about Palestine #and we need to uncondition ourselves #they're just as innocent and of value and good as the women and children #so fight for them #they don't deserve this any more than the women and children #free palestine #palestine

"content creator" is a corporate word.

we are artists.

#anti ai #fuck ai #artists on tumblr #please do not call me or any artist a content creator #i'm an artist. a fanartist. a designer. but not a content creator #ai clowns in my replies will be deleted and blocked without response so do not waste your breath #you are not an 'artist' for generating an image any more than you are a chef for ordering from a restaurant. someone Else did the work.#owen dennis just deleted all his blue sky stuff again and i hate that he does that because he makes such interesting comments #about the entertainment industry lmao i need to just. start screenshotting every smart thing he says #anyway thats why i decided to finally make this when its been sitting in drafts for a few months #owen dennis #edit - if you dont know who owen dennis is he's the creator of one of the best animated series of the last 20 years (Infinity Train)#he's very open about talking about art and the entertainment/animation industry on social media and in his newsletter and hes so cool 4 it

yeah we might be brothers in christ but so were cain and abel so shut the fuck up before i decide to find a rock about it

#postscript;#if you try to tell me cain and abel were not brothers in christ shut up pls #i've studied theology for nearly a decade. i know more than you.#christ's harrowing of hell exists to retroactively turn all of humanity even before his existence into ''brothers'' in christ #because it is not a literal term it is an evangelist term. bc christianity in all denominations is evangelistic in nature #not being a christian is 1. a moral incorrect choice according to them and #2. not actually possible. everyone is judged as a christian everyone is fundamentally supposed to be christian #calling someone a brother in christ is just calling them christian.#so ergo according to doctrine cain and abel are in fact brothers in christ #but #and this is far more important than any of that #i was not trying to be perfectly accurate to the theological timeline of the tanakh vs torah vs old testament vs new testament vs apocrypha #i was trying to make a silly one line joke on the internet #and all you do when you try to go Well Actually They Werent is make yourself look stupid and pedantic.#so for the love of god stop it with needing to be right online im so bored and tired

HOT, SINGLE, UNSTUDIED SPONGES. 3000 NAUTICAL MILES AWAY. Come sail the distance and read Tiger Tiger!

#tiger tiger #ludovica bonnaire #remy bonnaire #jamis arlesi #This comic has been on my radar for *years* and I only recently - finally - sat down to read it. And by god is it amazing.#I don't want to spoil anything! But if you like amazing art and character writing *and* high seas adventure? READ TIGER TIGER.#If you asked my who my favourite character is I could not tell you. I truly like them all!!!#I even like the sleezeball who has less charm than a dead rat. He's *my* darling little rat man. With every disease.#A special shout out to my lad (he is the lad of all time) Jamis Arlesi.#Who - upon walking into frame makes me go 'Sir! Is your bosom too heavy?

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

modern au gale+cyra/dadkarios for soul healing <33

cyra should not have a phone her internet history would have her on a watchlist

#bg3 #baldur's gate 3 #galemance #gale dekarios #dadkarios #tav #this whole thing was just to give shart that name #also i'm trying new texture/shading things #dying that cyra would have more 'parenting' experience than gale bc she raised her snakes from hatchlings #that's frightening #i feel like for the wedding they would do contacts for one (1) day so they don't have to spend the whole thing cleaning them #that's my plan anyway i'm a face toucher #i think gale needs to be more domestic. look at he with his laundry

#art #twisted wonderland #twisted wonderland spoilers #twisted wonderland episode 7 spoilers #twisted wonderland book 7 spoilers #here's to another year of episode 7! 🥂#going back to kinda the same vein as the crewel i did a while back #every few weeks i would run across this again in my sketch file #and be like 'oh i should finish this'#six months later...#l-look i did finish her eventually okay #honestly i think when i get mad at my art i just end up doing shit like this #it's cathartic #literally the hardest part is not overdoing it #sometimes you just gotta be like nope it's done. it really doesn't need anything else.#'but maybe just another line here to...' NO. IT'S DONE.#'but surely it needs more than just...' IT'S. 👏 DONE. 👏#do not overbake the meleanor

your pearl is one of my favorite designs for her i’ve ever seen <3 her face shape feels so right, and i love how you draw her hair. by way of a request, have you ever drawn her as an avian?

thank you so much! pearl's design is definitely my favorite to draw :')

ive done a bit of practice with pearl and grian as avians but that was way before i started posting hc publicly! ( these ones are new :D )

also played around with an alternate version! i dont know much about birds but i saw the australian barn owl and took more inspo from them

#pearlescentmoon #i also drew pearl with her head tilted all the way like how owls do but it ended up a bit freakier than i expected heh #me barely dipping my toes into more crechur designs... im too scared to try #eydireqs #asks #hc #my art #pearl was THE first hermit i ever drew (cleaning lady pearl and suit pearl)#she's always looked like this to me in my head #although in my earlier sketches she had curlier hair in the front that slowly phased out to the swoopy ones she has now #anyway this was really fun to do!!! i definitely need to do more studies on how wings work but :DD #learning many a things over here

*crawls out of art block dungeon*

Here's a page of a comic I've been thinking of. I don't know if I'll finish it, but posting might help motivate me. Or I'll move on to the next thing, haha.

#I still dont know how to do comics #or perspective #dont look at it too close #or at all #one piece sabo #revolutionary sabo #one piece ace #portgas d ace #one piece asl #one piece koala #one piece fan art #one piece #one piece fanart #What do you mean my text layer was off when I saved and posted???#no?#you didnt see this #controversial opinion #but maybe you need more than four hours of sleep

Yes you’re not fatphobic but are you capable of talking about fat people in a positive manner without saying somft/round/rotund/squishy/tumby/chumby/any other variation of the sort. Are you capable of talking about us in a positive manner without it being about beauty or attractiveness. Are you able to talk about fat people in general without being dehumanizing or infantilizing. Can you treat fat people with respect.

#disclaimer ofc that not every fat person feels this way. but i personally hate it sooo bad #and also disclaimer that ur ok to rb but the second someone clowns im taking away reblog and reply rights #like i think if youre talking about a fat person the same way youd talk about a fat cat you need to reconsider some things #tbh i see it more w characters than i do real people but its smth i Have seen happen and it drives me up the wall
