[hustlerose]

here’s a new ideological movement for you: internet iconoclasm

stop putting random internet people on pedestals because they’re funny or quirky or for any reason at all actually

self examine and self criticize: are you putting too much stock in parasocial internet relationships? are you being mindful of the humanity of others?

never lay down your pride to defend someone you’ve never even talked to

remember that the person and the persona can be very different

if an online celebrity or influencer deserves to be torn down, then let them be torn down.

The 1 exception: Seth Everman

[hustlerose]

how about no exceptions because this is literally a basic guide for healthy and respectful behavior wrt internet fame

[adelaecalendai]

Seth Everman IS the internet and we must worship him accordingly

[hustlerose]

do you people hear yourselves sometimes

chaz-targrin-gw2's blog owner here o/ With the stuff that's happening on Tumblr right now (Quite a few of my posts got incorrectly flagged, including the one with Bitra), I'm wondering where would be best to continue posting stuff where it can be seen by the GW2 community (and by the moderator(s) of this tumblr too, I like you a lot and I wanna keep sharing stuff as long as I know it makes you all happy!)

Hi there! I’m sorry to hear your stuff is getting flaggedincorrectly, and I know there’s a lot of uncertainty right now. >< Some of ourposts and reblogs have been incorrectly flagged as well.

We’re waiting along with everyone else to see how things go, but for right now we’re going to keep interacting with the community here and reblogging workfrom the gw2 fan submission tag as usual. We do have an official Guild Wars 2account on Pillowfort.io (guildwars2, just like here, although the site is currently down for maintenance). We haven’t started posting or rebloggingcontent over there yet, but we’ll post an update with any news in the future!

In the meantime, we haveofficial Twitter (English, German, French, and Spanish) and Instagram accounts where we seelots of fan artists and screenshot artists posting their work. There’s also theCommunityCreations subforum on our official site. Those channels are all managed bythe communications team, so we share cool stuff we see with each other from allover. ฅ(＾・ω・＾ฅ)

No matter what comesnext, we always want to be where the community is. <3 As always, anyone who thinks their work might have been hidden from the tag can send me a message with a link to the post. We’ll keep sharing the same kind ofcontent we always have according to our Rulesof Conduct, regardless of whether it’s been flagged by Tumblr.

I love how their post says “A better, more positive Tumblr” as if female nipples are what’s ruining the experience on this website and not bullies, racists, homophobes and actual nazis

[system-architect]

things you can do to help make the gw2 community better and safer– for yourself and others– in the wake of the JP issue:

regardless of your opinion on JP herself, make it clear that you do not stand for bigotry. express disapproval for the people who are saying bigoted and aggressive things, and let people know that your blog is a safe space for women and other marginalized groups who might feel shaken by this atm

be careful what you say about this discourse before you post something. think to yourself, “does it look like im agreeing with the community’s hate and aggression if i say this? are people going to feel potentially unsafe around me after i post this?”

SPEAK! UP! let anet know if you disagree with their handling of this. speak up when issues like this arise. don’t let bigoted voices become the only ones in the room before it’s too late. you don’t have to argue with people– just post your opinion on the forums and then leave and ignore your notifications if you don’t want to debate people

join or found a guild committed to providing a non-hostile environment that doesn’t let people toss around bigotry or slurs

go into your chat settings (tap \ and fuss with the little arrows next to the chat tabs) and turn off map and potentially say chat if you can’t stand it. you can even make one tab that has them on for events etc but another that has them off if you don’t want to see it

if you do keep map chat on, if you see people spouting misogynistic shit, slurs, etc, toss in a casual “not cool, dude :/” and then tab out of map if you want. ignore backlash if you don’t wanna get into fights. in a map where people are being bigoted in the chat, there are usually tons of other people who are uncomfy with it as well but don’t say anything because they’re too afraid to speak first. they’ll feel comforted/empowered by seeing someone standing up to it

use your “block” and “report > verbal abuse” and “report > innappropriate character name” buttons liberally. people spouting bigotry counts as “verbal abuse”. people who have names mocking marginalized groups is against the ToS.

if you’re in a party with friends and get some pugs to fill it up, and you and your friends are able to hijack the majority vote, then kick people who say nasty shit or slurs. don’t put up with it. you can find a new pug. people who are going to act like that don’t deserve the party space. don’t let them feel welcome

these are just a few things you can do and there’s quite a bit more, but to summarize it, the rational voices of the gw2 community need to be louder against this. it can be hard and scary to combat bigotry in a videogame but remember the loud bigots are just a loud, small fraction who has been allowed to run wild. the amount of people who won’t tolerate it is much larger and we need to demonstrate that

[moveslikekeithrichards]

can u believe some people can see a cat & not immediately be filled with absolute unconditional love for that animal. they dont even get the urge to kiss them right on their little baby cat head. thats incomprehensible to me

[abysattic]

I had to unlearn my instinct to huge and cuddle cats bc when I did my face would swell and begin to burn/itch.

DEAR DIGITAL ARTISTS

This is NOT okay, do ya`ll see how small and brittle the new nibs are?? I usually only draw in weekends (I don`t press hard either) and now I have to change them every 3 weeks. 

Complain. Tell them this isn`t okay. Don`t let big companies rob artists because they have the most reliable products. 

Wacom`s website Wacom`s instagram

[orangetoonist]

How do they expect people to be able to afford that? This is ridiculous.

[qsy-draws-a-lot]

I’m not saying this is the artists’ fault but Huion tablets cost half as much, the only reason nobody seem to buy them are the almost slanderous reviews you find online. I’m glad I didn’t see them because they’re basically all wrong as far as I’m concerned - for instance my pen’s batteries last around a month, not hours like reviews suggest. So you know instead of giving a company a monopoly that they’re going to abuse, just buy from another brand. You don’t like their product ? Fuck them, go see somewhere else, it’s the best way to to make them understand.

[k-eke]

Hello everyone.

So today I have sad news to bring to you, I’ve been plagied.

I had some messages there telling me if I made a game that I released lastly, knowing I didn’t I asked no and wanted to know why many people asked me this, then they gave me a link to the Facebook page of the company :

 https://www.facebook.com/fortafygames

I looked on it, and directly saw the icon that is, quasi my little pigeons I animate bouncing, then I was like “ mmm … maybe they were inspired but they could ask for permission because it’s way too similar for my taste, it’s really like my animations”  then I saw the videos and it was terrible.

You may already what I animate, but when I saw the video of the gameplay, I had no words.

All of my motions, bouncing animals, Dancing frames are exactly the sames !!

They totally copied my art !!!

So I contacted them, I wanted to be sure, they replied me that it’s for game and that my art is for animation so it’s not the same. Sigh 

So I told my friends about it, many tried tu put messages to discuss with them, no success. Some even were blocked when they put proof of my work.

I’m lost, I didn’t sleep last night because of this, I contacted lawyers and got some explanation, so it’s still going but I have to deal with it and I wanted you to know my current situation.

I share this with you because I’m an artist, this kind of thing happen to us WAY too often and I want to act, for me, for you, for any artists on the internet!

It have to stop!

I have so many proofs on my blog, but also you know me and my art well. 

I can’t let this pass and stay there.

All I wanted was just to spread happiness with my art, now some took all my dreams and hope to make money … but I’m fighting !

Please be aware of this and tell people that it’s total plagiat of my art.

Thank you.

[antisocialxconstruct]

hey this is a super random question but does anyone know if you get the “Twice Told Legend” achievement for making the new craftable legendary weapons, or does it ONLY work with the gen 1 series?

[antisocialxconstruct]

-stomps foot- but I don’t LIKE the gen 1 legendaries >>>:U

[basic-mesmer]

It definitely only works with gen 1 legendaries. Since gen 2 are unlocked via collection, you can craft only one per account.

Double space axes would be so cool…

[antisocialxconstruct]

is that actually true of all of them though? I didn’t have to complete any collections for the Shining Blade, it was just a crafting grind. I believe Shooshadoo and the Binding of Ipos are the same way, not sure about the others. So in theory I could easily make TSB again since I have all the recipes unlocked, but uhh… I probably wouldn’t bother unless I got a Cool Title out of the deal.

[abysattic]

Yes, this is true of all of the 2nd gen legendaries.

If you look carefully at the UI crafting pane recipe for the Ascended-quality precursor, you can see the text “this item can only be crafted once per account.”

If you’re curious, you can search on the reddit and find the post of the Super Unfortunate Person who got all the materials to recreate said ascended precursor for the 2nd time, but ONLY THEN noticed the once-per-account crafting limiter.

Additionally, the 2nd legendary you craft must be bound to you for the NPC to recognize you for the achievement. So you can’t just sell off the 2nd Twilight you have after getting your title (for example).

I hope this clears up confusion and prevents someone from making expensive mistakes.

I am sick of people thinking deodorant is optional

[seattl-ite-blog]

i’m sick of people thinking that they can judge others on a normal bodily function and that the only way they can be accepted is to wear something that is harmful/poisonous to your body. just because some men in the 1880’s decided bodily odor was no longer acceptable. 

[pussydeity-deactivated20151212]

bitch you stink 

[abysattic]

Hello there, likely-very-old-tumblr-exchange. I’m here to inform you that there are diverse deodorant options now!

I personally use this because I never really had sweaty pit issues, but check the above links if you want to find options that are also antiperspirant as well as deodorizing.

Gender Troubles: The Butches

[samandriel]

my rooster doesn’t crow when the sun rises, he crows when he hears humans wake up, like you can literally just roll over in bed and he’s like “hoLY SHIT THAT’S A PEOPLE THE HUMAN ISAWAKE AHHH AHHH AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH”

[samandriel]

the same rooster - god guys he’s so cute - he always lets hens eat treats first and won’t have any treats until they’ve had as much as they want, unless it’s a blueberry. shit, blueberries are like serious fucking business for Pharaoh. he’s a gentleman until the damn blueberries come out and then he don’t play no fuckin games

[samandriel]

in case you were wondering this is him

[samandriel]

It’s been almost a year since I made this post so I guess I should update you guys on Pharaoh!

He’s still a sweetie but with more attitude and will fuck up your shit if he’s grumpy or if you’re wearing shoes with shoelaces. He doesn’t like that. He watches Netflix with me a lot and cries anytime theres explosions or gunshots in a show. He has so many chicken lady friends who he adores and he has fathered 4 chicks. I tried to train him to walk on a leash but he protested by laying down and refusing to move, so we gave that up after a while. He likes to guard me from cars and squirrels, and even plastic bags (which are his worst fear)
