#tumblr has an algorithm

related to my last reblog: bro i hate when social media sites shut down

not only because people's creations are lost

But also because people on here are so damned annoying about it

..well they're not wrong

Welcome home

[bixels]

As cameras becomes more normalized (Sarah Bernhardt encouraging it, grifters on the rise, young artists using it), I wanna express how I will never turn to it because it fundamentally bores me to my core. There is no reason for me to want to use cameras because I will never want to give up my autonomy in creating art. I never want to become reliant on an inhuman object for expression, least of all if that object is created and controlled by manufacturing companies. I paint not because I want a painting but because I love the process of painting. So even in a future where everyone’s accepted it, I’m never gonna sway on this.

if i have to explain to you that using a camera to take a picture is not the same as using generative ai to generate an image then you are a fucking moron.

Hey that one post you made in 2013 is almost at 10k notes

OH TRUST ME I AM WELL AWARE LMAO

My phone has been blowing up for this past week I swear kejfkebfbjdjdkfj

Way back 10 years ago when I said I'd do it, I was still in college and it had jumped to the 5 or 7k or so it was back then, I actually got started working on the damn thing because it looked like it was going to happen.

Then the notes dried up and I was like oh phew, I'm good, I'm fine, I won't have to.

BUT THEN.

This goddamn renaissance of notes has been orchestrated by @composeregg because I've just started playing Mass Effect for them and some other friends and of course my beloved Mako is right there, and I tell them about it.

And hey, what do you know, it turns out I actually do still have that canvas board I started painting it on?? It somehow survived college and like 5 moves.

So like, I guess if yall can do it, at least I won't have to start from scratch?

Which is your favorite platform? (of the ones you have accounts to post things I mean. I can't imagine it being Instagram since you don't really post there which honestly fair)

Tumblr, Twitter (X?) bluesky? Something else?

I think I'm going to have to go with tumblr, and it's not just because we're here. Twitter and Bluesky are nice and my experiences on both are overwhelmingly positive. But tumblr has an atmosphere that encourages originality, sharing your creations and talking about things in depth.

Tumblr has changed... Right?

This kind of goes against what I usually post and I really, really don't want it to come off as complain-y, I just want to know if other people are noticing the same thing I am or if it's just me?

Basically, I used to get like way more activity. And again, don't want to come off like I'm complaining, I don't really care about the numbers and don't do it just to make my little activity line go up, I'm just confused because over the past few months (maybe longer?) I've noticed that my overall activity has gone way down.

I think it's because I used to get a whole bunch of activity on really old posts--like posts so old I was like, "how'd you even find that?" especially the popular stuff would still circulate and float around daily. I get about the same activity on new stuff as I did before, but that's where it ends, it seems no one is finding my old stuff anymore.

So I wonder like.. did the algorithm change? Has anyone else noticed this? Again, I really don't mind or care, I'm just wondering if you guys have noticed any changes or difference either in your own blog or like on your explore page--does it only recommend new stuff now?

Post over. Let me know what you think!

Hi all! To celebrate 1k followers (fun number!! Woo!!), I decided to put together a fun little dtciys/raffle! Draw either of my little guys, and who knows, I might end up drawing one of yours!

Rules, details, and more under the cut! 👇

Both Stell and Phemus have references, gijinka references, and their own dedicated tag. Feel free to draw what your heart tells you! Stell: Ref / Gijinka / Tag Phemus: Ref / Gijinka / Tag

There is no floor or cap for skill. If you need to know anything about me, it's that I love promoting the arts! If you were thinking about trying but felt intimidated, consider this your encouragement to give it a shot, I would love to see what you make!

Please keep the content PG-13 at maximum.

Should you choose to participate, please @ me or my art blog in your post so that I may see! 👀

You are welcome to draw one or both of the characters, but raffle entries will be limited to 1 per person.

The raffle winner will be able to request either a halfbody or chibi of their character of choice. (Most Kirby OCs/characters will be eligible as well!)

The deadline to enter for the raffle has been extended to June 23. I will draw and contact the winner on June 24th. This gives a whole month!

Thank you again for all the follows! And I hope you have fun if you decide to give this a shot! ✌

beware the algorithm

friends, it finally came for me. tumblr logged me out yesterday AND today, and when i logged back in today, it went straight to the "for you" tab, not "following." thank goodness "following" is still there, but boy was i confused at first.

watch out, my friends!

Okay but Mob was so fucking funny for this I feel like people forget he has a sense of humor

Like even before his storm and whatnot. And he does this immediately after being freed from Mogamiland??? This kid is something else

in an effort to un-enshittify my youtube algorithm, i have removed the recommended feed, turn off autoplay, removed the homepage and replaced it with my subscription feed, and turned off comments

basically ive made youtube as close as physically possible to tumblr

Addiction

Malleus pampering Silver with feel-good pleasure magic that takes away his nightmares and sadness, pushing Silver's problems to the back of his mind so he can go limp and thoughtless in his arms. Silver will always tell him not to (if he knows what Malleus is about to do at all) but he likes it so much while it's happening, doesn't he? He gets so upset about it, but what for? Malleus just wants him to enjoy himself, and if he's so bothered by it afterward, he can kindly cut away those memories for him <33

Sometimes he gives his blessings through food, sometimes through kisses. He thinks he has control over the effects, but he really does go too far most of the time, leaving Silver drooling and flushed and broken...

Before NRC, it was less frequent, but now that he can see him and play with him every day, he can accidentally leave Silver in that dumb giddy state for days. Obviously, others worry, but Silver likes it, right? He would never refuse it if it was something Malleus wanted of him, would he? It's not like his grades perform any better when he's in his regular state of mind anyway, not like he doesn't miss classes already, so why not let him stay in Malleus' bed all day like the little spoiled pet he is?

And even if Lilia or Sebek do fight to get Malleus to stop, it just leaves the poor boy an even worse mess than before. Silver's head hurts, throbbing and sharp, and no amount of healing magic from the nurse, his father, or anyone else can fix it. He has nightmare after nightmare, sleeping for a mere few minutes at a time before he's waking up screaming his throat sore. He's nauseous, he can't keep food down, and everything hurts.

The only one who can put him back together is Malleus
