like the alphabet you'll C @chameleon-sting - Tumblr Blog

new pin :]

im dust (he/they) and this is my main blog. here you will find:

reblogs (queued to post twice daily)

reblogs (at any time, sometimes a lot at once)

occasional original posts (tagged "thoughts on")

original posts but with less sfw subject matter (tagged "thoughts on (evil edition)". im twenty-three. this can occur)

i tag things sporadically and inconsistently but i do try at least a bit. outside of my organizational tags, i also try to tag for things one may want to block, such as nsfw material, blood/gore (infrequent but still), or things like unreality and visually straining imagery, but as i am fallible and sometimes just end up not tagging things, you may not want to follow if you dislike seeing certain things. but if you need something tagged, ask about it and i will make an effort to prioritize it

you may also know me from the following blogs

@came0dust - my oldest sideblog. it was my art blog for about 5 years but recently i've retired it, at least temporarily, due to feeling stifled by how i used it in the past

@garlic-gun - a sideblog i created during my sudden and extremely intense dragon ball fixation. i don't go to db as much as i used to so it's kind of dormant

@dustmustdraw - my most recent sideblog, where i am currently posting my art as well as the Many thoughts i have about both my art and its subjects. i think it's effectively garlic-gun but for anything minus reblogs right now. very much under construction but i'm having fun over there. general mature content warning there though. nothing explicit but there's some Dark Silliness (about on the level of thoughts on evil edition) going on

by the way if this place blows up i have an as yet underused cohost account. redust 👍

bro i havent edited this thing in years cohost still existed. damn

BLOGS THAT LOOK LIKE BOTS ARE BLOCKED ON SIGHT. PLEASE GIVE SOME INDICATION THAT YOU ARE A SENTIENT BEING IF YOUR BLOG IS BLANK

This may be the best Pride merch I've seen from a major corporation.

Levi's said yes, actually. Assless chaps and a biker vest. Happy Pride.

And the assless chaps sold out on June 1.

They also specifically contacted members of the leather community, used them as models iirc, and donated $100k to Outright International. They talked the talk and walked the walk and put their money on it too. I don't really care that I can't afford and don't want this merch, I love to see my community getting the respect it deserves. Levi's said, "We make jeans which gays wear lots of jeans? Oh leather daddies? Let's call them."

fandomsandfeminism

I think Levi's donates to Outreach International every year too, as well as sponsoring pride events and other community support. They were offering Same Sex domestic partner benefits to employees in the 90s, and have been very public about their support for pro-lgbt legislation all through the 2000s.

So, you know, a giant corporation that walks the walk pretty consistently.

i want ice cream .

javascript-official

This seems counterproductive to your goals, how are you going to get ice cream if there is no earth? Are you an idiot stupid of sorts?

oh my apologies i see my mistake

this entry in a ‘what would happen if the internet went down tomorrow’ contest has been making me laugh since 2009

Gotta tell you guys something wild in the Chinese fan sphere

So some fanartist drew a “sexy” (read: booby) version of a (cartoon) character who is traditionally very non-sexualised. Fans of the character got mad about it because it’s kind of groundbreaking how that character is written and portrayed and this art totally ignores the entire point of the character. They demanded the art be deleted. In response to that other people said, well what the fanartist did may be distateful but they have every right to draw what they’re into. The two sides fight for days and each starts a harassment campaign and even report their “opponents’” accounts.

So far so typical. But things eventually come to a head and they decide that this will be settled by votes - not through a poll. Through donations to a children’s education charity via each side’s portal. Whoever can get the highest amount of donation wins.

And that is how this charity received over 1 million in donations in three days lol. Oh btw the “freedom of expression” side won by a landslide (960k to 40k)

tlbodine

From now on this is how all petty fandom disputes should be settled.

calling ppl "larpers" to insinuate theyre fake fans of smth/poorly pretending to be smth is so fucking stupid cuz. tell me u have never met a real LARPer without saying u have never met a real LARPer. those guys care. they are fucking locked in dude. like LARP is a lifestyle its a commitment they care so much. they're not fake nerds either like fake nerds just repost LOTR gifsets and talk about how nerdy they are for being into like, fucking batman and stuff. LARPers know their shit. they read the whole Silmarillion. they know who Ambush Bug is. like get LARP's name out of your fucking mouth

thinking fondly of this meme I made for a coworker years and years ago

burins

this is going around again and the tags are full of people talking about printing it out to put in their breakroom or cubicle or sending it to their coworkers, which fills me with great joy. vast diversity of professions represented also. zoos. labs. summer camps. restaurants. garden centers. libraries. schools. many reports from the brave warriors of assorted retail. a truth universally acknowledged: if there is a sign a customer will not read it <3 and they don't read emails either <3

theprofessional-amateur

Thinking about this again as someone breezes past the “how to find this” quick guide full of screenshots and my slack handle “email Librarian” to send a dm ask ‘does the library have this book?’

No one is stranger than kid icarus fans. We will keep believing in the impossible. Checks date. Just 11 more years until they’re guaranteed to make a port right. They have to acknowledge it on its 25th anniversary right?

coderiderr

I meant to say stronger but. Stranger also works.

my biggest word of advice to anyone scared to post their work/ocs/involve themselves in creative spaces online is to earnestly get interested in other people. be kind to others, like/reblog their work, tell them what you like about their work, get to know them as people.

this isn’t to “weasel” your way into anything or having ulterior motives or whatever. if you become friends with someone then that’s great! but there’s always something very personal about posting any kind of creative work. we’re all trying our best to connect with each other and the best way to get comfortable is to get to know others and show up as yourself. 🫶🏾

new commission stuff because i am getting top surgery and its a bad financial decision

sorry my comms sheet is so ugly i am genuinely very bad at these things. maybe one day i will have a very pretty website set up for commissions but until then i use procreate like glorified google slides.

If you don’t feel like commissioning me but would still like to support me, i also have a kofi!!

more art examples under the cut! note that some of them are wips please.

Was driving with my grandmother and in broken English she says “no eyes… no nose… no face. Don’t trust.” To which I looked around wildly in search of this omen of ill portend.

Cybertruck. It was a cybertruck.
