Oh I adore this! Little mechanical spiders reaching all across the world.

I think it would do everyone some good to occasionally remember that you are on the interweb and I am the World Wide Spider

#wanted to warn that the movements in the video are very spiderlike and i could see how someone with arachnophobia or who doesn’t like how >#spiders move would be uncomfy #also cw for spiderlike creatures going in and out of mouths and ears at some point in the video??? no idea what to tag that but uh yeah #<yeah!#the magnus archives #glad you like the vid! cyriak has lots of nice animations like this #you can also check out iiii think it was called ‘circle world’? vaguely similar premise just with teddy bears

People on twitter are acting like Artfight is more about getting free art from big artists you like by attacking them and less about appreciating original characters (which have been relentlessly bullied by almost every community for years now) and its getting annoying so heres your reminder that you should be drawing oc designs you like and nobody is obligated to attack you or at all

soooonotsketchy

I actually avoid attacking bigger artists cause I know they already have a HUGE pile of attacks already. I'm sure they love getting to see so many people draw their characters. But it must be overwhelming and the artist may feel guilty for not being able to return the favor to everyone who attacks them.

the reason you, a white american, believe that white americans don't have culture is the same reason fish don't believe in water

yes i know you think it's an antiracist statement, that you're saying it's a bad thing white americans don't have culture. but what you're actually saying is that the way white americans live is simply the normal way to live and that "culture" refers only to deviations from that norm

there's real holidays and then there's, you know, cultural holidays. there's regular foods and there's ethnic foods

this is not (just) about "cultural christianity," an idea that gestures at a real thing but the way tumblr talks about it is mostly not useful, i'm talking about stuff much broader than that.

making yourself a ham sandwich with mayo on white bread is a cultural practice just as much as making jollof rice is a cultural practice.

#usss🤤🤤you should do that to me sometime #misc

if you feel some kind of yearning as a white american to connect with your Ancestral Culture you can get really into wearing lederhosen or playing bagpipes or whatever. but you could also just learn to understand the way you are living right now as a culture and not some kind of neutral default absence of culture

Hello, Cousin! Saw you - floating around - figured I'd come say hello.

-Mongfind, your friendly local Sea Vastling.

hello, hello!! glad you decided to drift by! right after my trip to the baltic sea as well hehe

you can have some of my cloud photos, while you’re here. went an extra mile to find these wavy ones for you! they’re quite tricky to catch, at least from my experience

Ooooh, very nice. I especially like how blue the sky is in the left one! Thank you for sharing these, Cousin!

(And really, you're perfectly sufficiently coherent and I have few stones to throw anyway, really I mean it don't worry about it.)

you’re very welcome and thank you for your kind words! i do try not to worry, i just get so terribly excited whenever i interact with a Cousin, as you put it (:

Yes! Very much excitement!

I'm guessing from the name you're Sky-aspected? I'm Sea myself, primarily, though I get along with what I think of as all three environmental aspects - Sea/Sky/Void.

yes! i’m mostly Sky. though it’s definitely because i live very, very far from any sea. unfortunately. i know that for a fact, thanks to my recent trip i’ve already mentioned. i would’ve been insufferable about the Sea if i lived anywhere near.

i’m content with what i have though! i should admit that my fascination with the Vast came before (and was pretty much the reason for) my interest in clouds and i wouldn’t have it any other way.

Then you can be both, and love the Ocean when you do get to meet her! And the Sky is beautiful.

(Absolutely in fact do not worry about talking too much. This would be very hard to actually accomplish - I'm rambly myself and it's fun to talk to people.)

definitely! i’d love to meet the Ocean eventually! so. when did you start hearing the call, if you don’t mind sharing?

I've been - swimmy, a Seachild - pretty much as long as I can remember. I suppose I wasn't as much when I was very small and first taking swimming lessons and so on, but - I've been A Thing That Swims - it's been good for and important to my soul to swim - for a first approximation of forever. I don't - know that I can separate out a moment when I really first started hearing the call.

...it's not - quite exactly the thing you asked - but I do have a memorable singular moment of meeting it. I described it, more or less, in the post I've linked - I figure linking that is likely to be better than saying most of the same things again.

Tumblr is a place to express yourself, discover yourself, and bond over the stuff you love. It's where your interests connect you with your

interesting! thank you for sharing! (:

yes, i remember the linked post! sounds like a lovely time! honestly, my way of wording that question might’ve been a little off the mark. i also can’t really pinpoint the moment when it all began for me.

maybe these dreams from when i was a small child? they wouldn’t have been so remarkable if they weren’t some of the only dreams i can remember from that time, and the ones i can remember the most vividly.

i can tell you about at least two or three, if you’d like. i’m not really all about interpreting dreams, i just see some similar themes.

Ooh, yes tell me about dreams!

(But tomorrow. Goodnight, Cousin!)
