Slimecicle: Oh, hang on, that's actually so cool. Aw man, this is sick.

Ironmouse: A beautiful memorial.

Slimecicle: [Throws flowers in front of the ofrenda] It's actually really cool. I'm glad this is here.

Baghera: Yeah, that's really cool.

[Slimecicle leaves, then goes back to the ofrenda]

Slimecicle: JuanaFlippa, this is- this is Technoblade. You guys never got to meet, but... I only met him a couple of times, but every single time he kicked the sht out of me in Minecraft. You know, we would do mod videos where like, I was supposed to play like a big monster, like a Wither or something, and the whole thing, the whole premise of the video would get upended because he'd hide and destroy me so hard that I needed to be like, "Dude, you're actually popping off too much right now, like– Mods, give me more hearts!" [Laughs] 'cuz he was so fcking good. He was so funny too.

Slimecicle: ...Yeah, but he- he was- he was unbelievable. Still is.

[JuanaFlippa goes up to the ofrenda and throws a blue flower]

Slimecicle: This is cool, all these little things. [Slime looks through his inventory for something to give] Do I have any blood for the Blood God? [He throws some redstone dust in front of the ofrenda] I've got blood for the Blood God.

Lose me intro in Birmingham.

So... The year is ending and I just wanted to say a little (big) "thank you for being there" to everyone who I met on Tumblr... Because honestly, I wouldn't be the same unhinged idiot that I am Rn if I didn't meet such wonderful people in the span of three/four months

First there's @cherrytasticc, I have known her for 2 years now, science fair, digital drawings and all, but these last months of the year, I've grown towards her, making her almost like my lil sis that I would die to protect, Same goes with @melikedraw, I knew her through her posts on Tumblr, and one day she simply dm me and now I can't see Gaolang or Sendo without remembering her every single time

After a few days I ended up knowing @itshirohi, Still very shy about almost every interaction with him, but he is a nice person (A bopping maniac, maybe) but overall I don't regret dming him, specially because I adore drawing his Ocs!

The same happened with @kunhisstuff, After all, I keep going with my Oc search to make more friends on Tumblr, and I happen to stumble across their account, and accidentally falling deeply for one of his oc's!

With @aneenasevla it was in the opposite way, because surprisingly she was the one to "adopt me" (extroverted bean getting adopted by another extrovert) to be fair, I wanted to talk to her, but shyness won that time, but the order of the factors does not alter the product (or the fact that I love the Heavy Bakery fanfic <3)

My memory is a bit blurry from here on, two other mutuals that I ended up growing found of were @souxton and @rottencarr0t! Both of them gave me a surprise when they understood spanish (mostly rot since she speaks it as a first language, but it was a nice moment w soux too!)

As little honor mentions I include @riddscorner and @adamant1ne since I haven't talked to them that much, but I wish to be able to get to know them a little better :3

And the last person that spawned just this month and unironically made me cry of happiness when they told me that my silliness made their day, @habuoibeo!

I really wanted to say thank you for being here when I arrived onto Tumblr and cheering me up without knowing it, even if you think it was just a message, just a fanart or a simple drawing, Maybe it made me feel better just when I needed it and I seriously appreciate every single one of you <3

Happy new year Guys ✨

[shithowdy]

realized a drawing i'm doing rn is almost identically posed to one i did 8.5 years ago of a different oc, except the old drawing was instantly tainted by one of the players featured messaging me asking if i could take it down because their abusive, possessive rp partner saw it and got jealous of them "roleplaying behind their back" and i said "nah" and it became a whole Thing that i should have walked away from at that exact moment but didn't and the 6 months that followed contained some of the most truly condensed batshit i have ever witnessed in an rp community already well-known for its batshittery.

... anyway i love my friends. so happy to accidentally redeem the pose.

sorry to be a bit of a hater but i do wish youtubers weren't so scared of making their videos just like, "reviews", whys everything gotta be a "video essay" all the time. every day my recommendations are filled with 40 minute videos titled "_____: An Underrated Masterpiece" where the first like five minutes are reading the wikipedia definition of "masterpiece" in a somber voice with dramatic themed text on screen. please just tell me how good or bad you think something is and use the rest of the runtime to explain why. you dont need to put on all these airs

[skibasyndrome]

that post about which was the first thing you read fanfic got me thinking about like. fan and fandom behaviors. how like. aged 10 or 11 and just through sheer power of will and armed with a crappy little camera and the pre-installed video editing software on my dad's laptop I would create """"edits"""" of my then current fandom obsession 😭😭😭 not even for anyone else, literally just because it was such a joyous little activity 😭😭😭 like I'd draw the blinds, so there were no reflections, then neatly filmed the laptop screen only so I could then clip the videos down and rearrange the scenes and put my favorite songs underneath 😭😭😭 I didn't even show it to anyone!!! I was just like!!! look!!! my thing!!! 😭😭😭 this was before I even had an email address fdkghkdf let alone any accounts anywhere, I was just yearning for the fandom experience dhgakldfhgkdf and isn't that so fun in a way? that you love something so much you just. invent your way around engaging with it so intensely??? idk man, I'm having a very grateful that fandoms exist and grateful that I've had the chance to spend so much time in spaces with people who have shared the passions I've had time

phil’s second draw my life is one of my favourite videos on his channel i looooooove phil just talking openly and honestly about things

[roszabell]

i saw so many posts today abt how there’s no time for tears, how we need to “get off our asses” and stand up and fight. well i think there’s a place for tears, and for feeling sad and upset and angry. we’ll have plenty of time for action but we need to allow ourselves a little time to mourn. take things slower this week, wear your favorite clothes, treat yourself. we have to have a healthy relationship with ourselves before we can create societal change. please stay safe, our time will come 💙

There is a Rampant and Vicious Cycle in the Online Left That Needs to Be Addressed

Every leftist needs to understand that not every proclaimed leftist is a safe person or one that is acting in good faith. Many people in this sphere --even if they are minorities themselves-- are Abusers. Let me be clear: they are Abusers REGARDLESS of --NOT because of-- them being a minority. Despite this, many of them have weaponized their standing as a minority in order to get away with their behavior and achieve what they see as some form of power and control over others. Let me be clear. I am referring to those that:

Manipulate and lie about pressing situations (especially when it's to harm another person or demographic)

Excessively use idpol to either elevate themselves to holier than thou levels ("listen to ___ people but only when it's something I agree with, which just so happens to devolve from constructive change to making others grovel and plead forgiveness endlessly before me") or belittle others (ie their skin color, gender, queerness, disability, neurodivergence, religion, age, etc.) in order to discount their point or not treat them as equal human beings; yes, even if their skin tone is white or if they are men, abuse does not have to be backed up by systemic issues in order to be abusive or at the very least harmful (sidenote: this does not apply to people talking about their experiences as a minority that is otherwise not experienced or understood by others, the issue I'm pointing out is when it's twisted to cover everything not directly tied to their identity and proclaim themselves as the only ones allowed to be the voice of reason, therefore shutting up everyone else and to avoid any constructive criticism or discussion)

Act on rage and at times even trauma to bring forth harmful ideals (ex: truly hating every person of a demographic, wishing for a genocide, making actual death or rape threats towards someone or a group, conversion, etc)(sidenote: I'm not discounting those that have trauma and even have harmful thoughts, just please seek help and understand that it is not healthy nor sustainable to paint or alter reality to be in line with what trauma makes you believe)

Actively try to get others they don't agree with to either permanently leave the internet or commit suicide and even celebrate when either happens

Excessively test others on their "purity" on unachievable standards to the detriment of everyone and Leftism as a whole (purity culture is fueled by christian culture in order to disguise doomerism, accepting defeat when change is not possible, of which is the very thing that will kill leftism)

Infight over weird made up issues (remember how divide and conquer is a war strategy? To split hairs and discount others for non-issues is to do the work of conservatives and nazis for them)

Shut down people or discussions over minor slights such as using an incorrect word/phrasing or any numerous perceived mistakes (example I've seen here: berating a person with schizophrenia (or a trans person or any other minority) for using a derogatory term for themselves when they're talking about how everyone else is speaking over them and not listening), ignoring the hypocrisy or not taking into account any number of mundane causes such as non-native english speakers, generational gaps, being in the process of learning (either recovering from harmful beliefs or simple ignorance), using those terms to prove a point (such as that example I mentioned above), neurodivergence, etc.

Not letting others talk about their experiences of oppression when those experiences don't match theirs, instead opting to call those people bigoted for contrived reasons

A rejection of nuance, intersectionalism, and even reality to better suit their goals (ex: claiming that every trans man benefits from the patriarchy and can never experience misogyny)

Misuse of therapy speak and terminology in order to water down those terms and render them near meaningless so they can weaponize them under the pretense of their original use (ex: gaslighting), or to cut off any need to connect or sympathize with other human beings and instead speak to them like a PR message (refer to this video by Zena and Poppy for reference)

They never speak on true leftist/progressive ideals or positive change, they only engage in destructive discourse or any behavior listed above

Making baseless dangerous accusations towards someone they don't like. Before you go harr harr you're doing that, I'm not calling out any specific person and am merely listing dangerous behaviors I've seen people here act out. What I am referring to are when someone casually calls someone specific a predator (or whatever else) with absolutely zero proof and expecting everyone to believe them no questions asked. This has been shown to ruin people's lives

Any other similar behaviors not included in this list (as well as classic logical fallacies), but what I've mentioned above should paint you a good picture

Every example I've pointed out were REAL EVENTS I've seen from people that proclaim themselves as leftists or even just progressive, and sometimes are even minorities themselves (some even infight against their own communities using the behaviors listed above, often out of internalized bigotry)(an example of a real event that happened here recently were when several people were making rape threats towards a trans man by the username of @a-faggot-with-opinions). To be blunt, I'm pointing out exclusionism in practically every form, asexual discourse, transandrophobia, TERFs/radfems, TEHMs, tankies, "cornbreadtube", nationalists and ethnonationalists, and all else I don't have the terminology for For many of the people that fall under that bullet list I would hesitate to even refer to them as leftist or progressive, as they never seem to actually show they act on it or even believe in it, only making an appearance in those communities for their own destructive personal gain; hell, often times they have ideals that directly go against what those communities stand for! Examples include TERFs with white supremacist beliefs, transandrophobes that are misogynistic, ethnonationalists that are antisemitic, puritans that are ableist, the list goes on forever. Once you know what to look for, you can see the hidden or overt bigotry behind their false "progressive" statements

No one is infallible No one is better than everyone else You are not immune to propaganda No one is immune from behaving abusively

These people are dangerous, whether they actually qualify as abusers --as I've been referring to them as such for brevity and impact-- or are people that are engaging in hurtful or fully abusive behavior (use this paragraph as a disclaimer, I of course can't know if someone is an abuser in real life unless there is documented evidence of such). Regardless, they are hurting the left and are letting the right win

If you see any of these behaviors either 1) take caution if you're unsure, 2) block them, or 3) if you have the fortitude, call them out. Either way, use your best judgement and think for yourself (or discuss with good faith leftists if you're uncertain). And remember, often times (albeit not always) they are actually fully aware of their disgusting behavior and are choosing to act maliciously, not ignorantly.

Stay safe, log off, do what you can to support your local community and leftism as a whole, don't let these people distract from the real issues at hand. Have empathy, if you don't have empathy then act in compassion, if you don't or refuse to do either please do not engage in politics. Misanthropy has no place in matters concerning humanity.

And remember: we have to stand together in unity so we can create a better future for all
