Embarassingly, I haven't mentioned it on this blog, so I figured I would officially state that I stand against the ongoing ethnic cleansing/genocide of Palestine by Israel. I genuinely don't know what to say other than that I hope every politician - especially those in my country, the US - who has signed off on the murder of what is now twenty thousand civilians suffers forever.
#i saw someone like a post of mine that was very vocal in the opposite direction and realized with horror that most people dont follow#my other accounts#notart#anyway normally i dont make statements about this stuff on my tumblr art blog specifically#but being as the US is complicit i feel it is irresponsible not to at least make my stance known#should have mentioned it sooner on here but i forgot that this account has like. 10 thousand more than any of my other ones

#something is very obviously different about these two compared to my normal images on this blog. i acknowledge this#also the sv model is Really good. and since they always stare straight at the camera anyway… and no one pays attention to the background…#and the only high-quality phantump model i could find was so horribly shiny that its eyes were just white voids#in my defense‚ phantump always just stare straight at you in game#the lighting is different‚ yeah. that's probably the dead giveaway. beyond the background. but like. i'm the only being on the planet who#really likes phantump anyway. i feel like it's a generally forgettable pokémon to most folks#phantump#HELLO this one is a weird one. i have some explaining to do. so when i did this one i didn't know how to edit models really at all#and when i got the models for these‚ the xy models were super shiny. shiny to the point that it made their eyes fuckin invisible#and i decided that since you could barely tell it was phantump‚ i needed a different way to get these images#i remembered that in the SV dlc‚ every time you find a wild phantump‚ it just fucking. stares. at you. and i was like. aha#i kinda remembered because of the test stream that i did. tumblr user alligayytorr (am i getting the right amount of Ys) said#“haha i am getting a sneak peek” when i zoomed the camera in on a phantump. and i remembered that. and i was like. i can utilize this#and ended up using just an in-game screenshot of SV in replacement of the regular content. later on‚ after that#once we got into gen 7 and it became less and less reliable to find models‚ i had to learn how to edit them manually to remove the shine#i am a software dev. not a 3d modeler. this ended up coming down to editing the code of the models directly (which i ended up writing a#script to automate). now‚ today‚ january 22nd (the day of me writing these tags and updating this post)‚ i remembered this post was in the#queue and was not normal. so i went back‚ ran the script on the phantump and trevenant models‚ and unshinified them#then edited these two posts to be normal. i have left the original pictures i took under the cut for reference and as bonuses#because i really enjoy phantump. so that's why those images are there‚ and that's why these tags are here#just for posterity's sake‚ the folks who come here mostly for my commentary‚ i've left the ORIGINAL tags of the post when i initially#made it with the SV pictures up at the top (i wanted to rearrange them‚ but tumblr makes that Very difficult‚ so i left them as-is)#so if these tags are confusing to read i Apologize. but i hope now that you're at the bottom you understand what happened#i'm gonna go edit the trevenant post now

For new users who are confused by tag novels
It’s an ancient tumblr practice from back when reblogged posts looked like this:
If you reblogged and added a new caption, it would indent all the previous text, and if someone reblogged from you and added a caption, it would indent again.
Which means sometimes popular posts would become completely unreadable, especially on tumblr’s mobile app.
To avoid this, people would refrain from commenting directly in the post, and would instead take their two cents to the tags. Anything from small comments, to incredible jokes, to in depth commentary could be hidden away in the tags to extend the longevity of the original post.
Obviously they’ve since fixed the format, but we’ve never stopped using tags this way. For those struggling with when to caption and when to tag their responses, maybe consider “is this addition worth making the entire post harder to read”, as that’s where it all started.
#reddit refugee#tumblr guide#these screenshots make me so nostalgic#also normally don't screenshot peoples posts and repost them but obviously reblogging wouldnt work for this?#also fun fact#only the tags the OP uses when they post are searchable on tumblr's search feature#any tags you use when you reblog are only searchable on YOUR blog#also please tag however the fuck you want#theres no rules here#its okay to look like a new user#youre doing fine

I've been checking out the OC tags for a little while, and I can say the state of OC sharing on tumblr is in absolute misery.
We've all discussed how bad the ratio of reblogs has become, how the amount of them have been dwindling those last couple of years, but I think an extra important emphasis has to be made on original creation. Though everything is hit by the lack of sharing, fanarts at least have a tag people will look for, improving their visibility - fandom OCs are sadly shared less than fanarts, in general, but they still enjoy that same visibility.
But what of the purely original? People who have OCs belonging solely to their own world, with a tag nobody will look for? I've been seeing awesome OC art that has been sitting for days and weeks with 0 or 1 notes, sometimes 5 or 6 with luck (though most of the time only likes)... And though there are exceptions, overall, it's a frankly saddening sight.
The way for someone to get attention on their OCs is to already be a well established blog or to produce fanart on the side to build a following. Blogs solely creating original content sit at the bottom of the note pool with no escape in sight.
As much as we praise tumblr for its tagging system and the fact it doesn't kill old posts the way other social media does, it still does fail in the way of uplifting creation that isn't fandom-based.
I don't have a solution to this. It is merely a sad observation. It's only natural that people would look for what they already know and love. But in a world where all of our interactions are linked to consumerism, in a world where automation replaces human imagination, I'd love to see a community of people willing to actively search for, and uplift, the creatives that are trying to peek out of the water.
One reblog may lead to another may lead to a follow, may lead to a creator feeling like their work matters.
So I'm doing it, one reblog at a time.
#ocs#oc#original character#original creation#original story#reblogs#tumblr#mine#i've had this build up in my heart the more i've been exploring the oc tags#clicking on blogs and seeing all their lovely ocs#and seeing all of em with what. 1 note? a Like most often#idk.#i love fandoms! i love so many of them#but. i wish i could see more cool imaginative stuff from us normal users too#and i wish there was love and support for it#so yeah. i'm gonna keep exploring the tag randomly and reblog a bunch of cool ocs i find#i'll be happy if you even just consider doing the same

technically if it's not simmered in the champagne region of france it's a sparkling best boy friend
#you see actually this is an ingeniously relevant caption b/c of the concept of Authentic food tying into the film's main themes re culture#Clearly impeccable lol....anyway here's me using this blog as like a tumblr hosted imgur#also just now in the shower it occurred to me the parallels / overlaps with My Big Fat Greek Wedding. obviously also v different but#so your family & by extension their culture aren't the Normal & your father especially holds on to this distinction#& you don't just want to work at the family business forever & then you meet a nice boy & there's no problem there he's just nice#except then how to reconcile this with your relationship w/your family & your culture & thus also your identity btw....#anyways how about that uhh#elemental#elemental 2023#pixar elemental#ember lumen#wade ripple#fanart#always a time & a half trying to decide how to tag these kinds of titles. but somehow i survive#it's really a testament to the so precisely captured Cuteness of wade's design that it's like; trying to just do a shadow of it justice lol#it's So good. definitely went for the like expressive wobbliness...the wavy smile is just thee perfect detail all thee time. ugh#giving both of them that Flow while also ember is pointier & has the whole luminosity element....the chefs are kissing#love the Relationship when it's like yeah it's easy to make it agonizing when it's like ya both people have fun & like each other & enjoy#being together & find the relationship enriching & motivating...you Are a cute couple / again that the conflict isn't really even like ooh#will the won't they as a question of if they really like each other; & Definitely not a question of [these ppl hate each other actually] lo#like me saying i like romcoms sometimes when it Does mostly mean i'll watch mybigfatgreekwedding 500x in a row. it's on youtube btw#then you watch some random other romcom & it's psychological torture. random xmas romcomdram like gave me a headache fr....#anyways really liked this film really had a great time i'm def gonna see it again soon#i loved both these characters & their relationship & the Elemental manifestation of Culture is really inchtaraesting#plus other metaphorical resonance ppl find...physical disability; queer experiences....#it was also fun b/c their interacting & their arcs w/each other having that mutual Effect & Change from their dynamic was like#that also just feels like both of them / their relationship = my relationship with myself &/or both how i interact w/the world/anyone#definitely always describing myself in ways like ''i never x except for when i do always; readily'' like Crying for sure lol. I'm Both....#probably a bit more wade? within Myself; by this point lol. i feel like maybe i'm the wade w/someone i'm more comfortable around#but that otherwise i probably come across more emberesque. usually. except for when it's the opposite except for when it's not lmao etc!!!!

I miss tumblr back in like 2014 or whatever when we used to all send each other asks all the time. Ask games, sleepover saturday, anon confessions, all that good stuff. Happy birthday messages on your birthday, feel better messages when you'd post about being sad, "oh my god i can't believe what just happened in the show we're obsessed with" messages from fandom buddies. Trading messages back and forth with your circle of mutuals all night. Etc etc. It was more fun and less lonely.
#like i just checked my ask tag on my old main blog#and it used to be normal for me to get like 10 or 20 messages a month#(and I remember feeling back then like I was unpopular cuz my mutuals were getting even more 🙄)#now I get like 2 or 3 a YEAR maybe#(and I mean yes I had like 10 times as many followers on my old main and tumblr was less dead in general but STILL that's such a big change#beth posts

tells me to check out this blog and then shows me my own post
#It was reblogged by the blogger they are recommending obviously#But like why is it recommending people off of one random reblog and not their own posts?#Like I was like huh is that my post? Did someone repost it or something?#But it’s a reblog which is normal#I just don’t know why that’s what tumblr uses to advertise blogs on here

#RIP to the legacy post editor. you will be missed. while queueing this post and the last one it's removed the option for me to switch to the#old one and is making me use the new one. which is like not bad. it's not a bad editor. i just don't like change as most tumblr users don't#it also just appends the post you make directly to the top of the currently-displayed posts behind it even if it's not meant to go there#which is a little bit scary when i'm on the queue page and i click “add to queue” for a post that's supposed to go up on august 18th#to see it immediately appear above mega metagross. the legacy post editor didn't do that. it made you refresh the page if you wanted to see#your own new post on the dashboard. which i think was better!! honestly!! i've never Made a post using the new editor to see how it behaves#only ever queued up FFP using this thang. but that's also bc i feel like i don't post very much. i need smth Interesting to say when i post#on my main blog i mean. i don't make extraneous posts on here (usually) unless i'm answering an ask or something. which. still have yet to#miss one to this day. going strong#bibarel#can you tell idk what to say about this guy. what are they‚ water-type? big chance i'm fucking wrong and they're just pure normal#OKAY i was right. normal/water. semi-interesting typing and i get why they're a water-type. but. i never use. bibarel. even as a kid who#didn't understand or care about competitive. i knew bibarel was not very strong. it's a route 1 normal-type fucker. and maybe it's like#better than i think or something but tbqh it's a sinnoh 'mon and i already have another sinnoh water-type that has my heart. buizel#so bibarel was not so much in the cards for me. bro i should do like. a mono-type run of a pokémon game one day. that would be fu#do folks do that? is that a challenge run that actually exists? nuzlockes exist so i don't see why not. okay i'm doing it. my next replay o#any pokémon game is hereby decreed to be a water-type mono-type run. i may or may not liveblog it on my main blog#and it may or may not be nuzlocke. we shall see#hell maybe i'll stream it. maybe that could be fun. i don't know of *anyone* who would be interested in that but it tends to help me#actually go about completing games when i have someone there like. waiting for me to do so

header that i worked so hard on looks great on desktop and blurry as all fuck on mobile
#im not kidding i had to make the image just Slightly smaller like 4 times just to get the whole thing in#either cropping the picture or readjusting the size of all of the elements together#and then i had to keep moving it up and down so it would be ROUGHLY centered instead of stuck to the top of my blog#and every time it was ok. save to desktop. go to tumblr. upload new one. thats wrong. edit and save tumblr upload ok thats bad too#SO MANY TIMES IN A ROW. SO MANY TIMES#levi.txt#this would probably be easier if i just used a normal header from someone else. or a picture. but i like making them myself

wish we had a feature to de-activate that was not delete
#facebook has this#or at least used to#tumblr#not particularly of immediate relevance just in general#facebook also has the nice ability to mass-remove things like your comments#iirc#I wanted to restore my blog from backup and hahahahaha#they did not save information about post status#so drafts. private posts. unanswered asks. etc. all just exist as html posts indistinguishable from normal posts#which no I am not publishing#next time I'm using the api to backup ntch#but also post limit makes restoration a nightmare

didn't realize how much fat i lost on my hips/waist since starting to work out until I put on a pair of looser pants today that i hadn't worn in a while and they almost fell off
#literally without the belt they fall off#they used to just sit low without the belt#i knew i had recomped bc i got weighed at the drs abt a month ago & i was the same as I have been w/ a visible change in muscle mass#but did NOT realize how much straighter my waist/hips have gotten even since then bc dysmorphia/dysphoria#e/d tumblr do NOT interact this is NOT for you#who knew that doing weighted exercises with your obliques would make you waistline less thin. oh wait. me. that's why i'm doing it lmfao#also it's good for my chronic hip/back issues#and it's nice to see the fat leave the spot i specifically don't want it. i'm OK with fat on my body i just don't like it there specificall#tw weightloss#not technically weight loss just abt weight redistribution#I want to eventually GAIN weight from muscle but don't want to be a gym rat so yk#and it's hard enough to eat normally as it is so yk. maybe some other time in my life#or maybe just v slowly over time#also i don't weigh myself so for all i know i have but most likely not#at least i don't think so?#anyway#i'm serious abt the e/d thing though stay away from my blog if you're posting abt that
