Is it just me or is there way less fanart being made for this game than the previous ones? Kind of makes me sad, I remember with dai I could check the tags every few hours and find something new weeks after launch, now I only can get away with only looking a few times and week and miss nothing.

I don't think that's Veilguard exclusive.

Things I and my mutuals draw now are getting less notes/reblogs than they did even one year ago, regardless of the fandom. Fanfiction is getting less comments and kudos on ao3 too (not that they were getting many comments in the first place) Less gifs are being made because gif makers weren't getting reblogs. Hell, most of the post I make have a huge discrepancy between likes and reblogs and add polls into that? A thousand people voted on something and only a dozen people reblog it. It's a hollowing feeling when you realise you're calling out to an empty void, I don't blame people for creating less art because of that.

I don't see a vast majority of the people who follow me in my notes because I have likes disabled. Multiple times someone has sent me an ask apologizing for spamming me with likes and I don't understand it? That is not a bad thing And unless you reblogged anything along the way, I didn't even realise you were doing it in the first place. And the people whose notes I do see are not annoying in the slightest, I love the tags you add and I'm sure the original poster does even more so

I'm not trying to shame anyone Into interacting with the fandom spaces they're in but the whole point of Tumblr and what makes it a blogging platform and not social media is that this is a show and tell website. You're supposed to look at something you think is cool and then wave it around for your followers to see and then they pick it up and do the same regardless of how old it is

When you reblog an ask game from someone it used to be common courtesy to send that person one of the asks from it. Folks used to leave comments analysing paragraphs from stories people wrote and theorising about what would happen next on every chapter. We used to send each other asks just asking about our ocs unprompted

If there's no interaction or community when you create something, then what's the point of creating it? It sucks that fandom is morphing into something to be consumed and thrown away the second it's more than a week old unless you're one of a handful of blogs that got lucky and picked up traction at just the right moment

I'm sorry for the rant but I get emotional when I think about the decay of fandom spaces for too long. And this goes without saying, but you guys can reblog anything on my dash if the button isn't disabled on it

idk i do like hearing peoples perspectives and arguments about transfeminism, but i believe what i believe about it because the arguments for it are effective and the evidence we have supports their conclusions. yea they also help me conceptualize events in my life through a transfeminist lens but that is what theoretical frameworks are For, they begin with the evidence and describe the experience.

i think semantic arguments and talk of empty unity and dismissing through sexualization are just as much tactics of argumentation and to me they're are highly ineffective in doing anything but making the people using them look good to an uninformed observer. its the reason we say a lot that some people here have a "vibes based politics" because it's clear from their arguments and rhetoric that they think of these arguments as a way to display an image rather than to actually have a discussion.

thats why im pissy and get upset and block people, they're just wasting peoples time for their own egos rather engaging with any of these concepts or acknowledging that what they know might not be totalizing. the desperation to have a perfect unsullied and intelligent image is why posts like mine pointing out a subtle dogwhistle will get backlash that amounts to telling me i'm making it up. i am communicating to them that there is a piece of knowledge that they might not have considered or even known is offensive to them so they reach for reactionary defenses instead of treating the trans woman in front of them like a person

Tumblr bare with me here my hands did not want to draw but I wanted to at least sketch out a noob neighbor design so I can put some doodle plans into action on Friday or Sunday >:3 Now if anyone needs me I'm gonna play minecraft again-

just to let everyone know: I saw a ent doctor and there's something going on with my ears so I have to have them cut into my eardrum and get a tube put in on December 9 and usually it's done in my doctor's office but because of the pain I'm in i wouldn't tolerate it so I have to be sedated so it's surgery and I'll be out of it probably that day so if I'm not here that day you know why <3 it's a very simple and routine surgery but it's still nerve racking and every surgery has some risk no matter how small it may be so wish me luck!! ily guys 💗💞💕💖💜🧡💜🧡💜🧡💜🧡💜🧡💜🧡💜🧡💜🧡💜🧡💜🧡💜🧡💜🧡💜🧡💜🧡💜🧡💜🧡

toby fox did NOT need to make sans so hard to write. on an unrelated note, the first chapter of the next part of tgas should hopefully drop later today (after i figure out how to write sans).

[kurokoros]

still mad that we didn't get Vecna possessing Steve. haha silly Steve who asks stupid questions and everyone dunks on as if he's not an athlete and one of the better combatants in the group. Steve, who knocked out a trained soldier at 19. Steve, who has been beaten to hell every season and gotten right back up afterwards. just goofy old Steve.

but what if Steve wasn't actually Steve anymore?

Am I having a meltdown that My Hero Academia is coming to a close and the fandom's gonna slowly trickle out like many before it? Very much so, yes.

The best thing about Italy and Europe is that linen just- exists here. I can go buy a shitty cheap 100% linen dress like I would go to Fry's and buy a shitty cheap 100% polyester dress in America. Absolutely revolutionary for my wardrobe. I can't actually buy wardrobe enhancements because I have a carry-on suitcase, but the fact I still have the option is amazing.

i like to think that the reason mindflayers like to make their bodies look so human is because they were originally made to provide some sort of medical assistance and they became intrigued by the human body

[seventh-district]

ok breaking my silence but i'm getting kind of frustrated at the way the story is handling psyche in the recent arcs. it's as if she's set up to finally do something impactful but then circumstances align to make it end up not being a big deal. she succeeds in reaching the emperor and heals him but it turns out killing him via poisoning wasn't eros' plan to begin with and then he dies anyway. she's framed (as medea) for murdering the emperor and captured by eros, her powers go haywire and it looks like she might finally strike back at eros, but it turns out thanks to the necklace it only affects a bunch of npcs and eros himself comes out more or less unharmed. she pretty much could have done absolutely nothing and it would have been easy for her to end up in the same position she is now. what's the point of anything she does if none of it ends up mattering in the grand scheme?

also i think i'm in the minority here, but i'd rather psyche is the one that takes out eros, not medea like the story seems to be leading up to? obviously my ideal choice is that they do it together, with both of them contributing equally, but if it has to be just one of them it makes sense to me that it's psyche. i still sense way more animosity and personal vitriol in psyche and eros' relationship, because she's still the person who was used and wronged the most by him. sam has tried to up the stakes between medea and eros with their back-and-forth and medea pretending to be in love with him, but... eh. i'm not very invested in their relationship. i'd still much rather psyche get the satisfaction and closure of bringing eros down (or at least contributing significantly to it) herself. i feel like it's what makes the most sense and would be the most satisfying given their history together.
