Living for the sake of living

I'm new to tumblr. I wanna learn how to write books and animate. Anything I post might not make sense :')

Intro post...

Hello there, call me Dum or Dum-Dum.

I'm new to tumblr. I like art and writing (might post OCs and writing exercise trials), I'm yet to REALLY get into fandoms, but otherwise I'm just casually into the following:

The Amazing World of Gumball (Animated show)

Jentry Chau VS the Underworld (Animated show)

Sasaki to Miyano (BL romance anime)

Idols of Starlight (otome game)

I'm also interested in learning about...anything, really. Art history, Classic literature, cool science facts (especially psychology and biology). I may know nothing about them but I WANT TO KNOW.

Anyway, yeah. I'm going to take it easy at first and probably try and post regularly after a few days or weeks. Just gotta get used to the surroundings...

Twitter: Starflyfish5 though who knows I might delete it one day

Instagram: SpringSproing

Do not interact: Transphobes and other hateful ppls, People who use GenAI regularly and voluntarily

Long time no see

I have drawn Wilson over 20 times to try and get him to look correct. I have also killed about 10 mosquitos.

Please never expect me to be regular. Usually I am not dead, or only half dead.

I am now hungry.

Oh god now that I've put him there why does this image look like sensual content guys pls scroll and see the rest this was supposed to be cool. I guess I've been thinking of yaoi too much. Yaoi has very much helped me get through torments actually.

God why's it so blurry from the outside

Also, about what happened to Herbert, he is specifically attached to his spine and is currently asleep in the photo, in his shirt, behind him. Very snug.

The rest, are manifestations of spirits.

I drew these a while ago months apart and I know my art style is constantly changing but....what? Are these 2 the same people. I like the facial proportions on the 1st but rendering and pose (yipee new face angle besides front and 3/4th) on 2nd...but....what...

Also ignore the eye, the oven is kinda haunted cuz sOmEoNe's ancestors decided to sacrifice people whose ghosts shift forms including but not limited to household objects and one's own spine...

THOUGHT I FINALLY CAUGHT THE MOSQUITO USING ME AS A BLOOD FARM BUT IT WAS JUST AN INNOCENT ANT NOOOO'

Additionally, this mosquiti has escaped me more than 5 times now. And somehow SURVIVED an actual landed hit. How...

[dumlivingguy]

*Gasping for air as I arise from my temporary grave* GUYS I'M BACK BUT IDK WHAT ART TO MAKE CUZ MY SKILLS WENT DOWN THE DRAIN I SAW THERE WERE NO IDOLS OF STARLIGHT UPDATES SINCE LAST I PLAYED SO I WAS LIKE "Maybe I should just focus on my OCs" BUT I HAVE NO IDEAS FOR OCS BRUH I'VE JUST BEEN TRYING EVERY TUTORIAL ON SIGHT TO HOPEFULLY GROW MY SKILLS FOR NEW ART BUT SERIOUSLY THE HECK WHY IS MY HEAD EMPTY.

Also there's a mosquito on my foot as I make this post. Haven't seen it. But I think I can feel it...it threatens to draw my blood if my art doesn't improve by next month...

Heyy I'm alive again and I've returned to hikanoah posting~

Just Noah making his boyfriend's job a little harder, and Hikaru working around it ♡

Kinda inspired by my fic ( https://archiveofourown.org/works/69420066 ) so go give it a read if you liked this!! (´ε｀ )♡

[dumlivingguy]

I forgot I even had social media for so long...and I have tests again...wut...I hope I remember to visit next month...idk man...my feelings have been heavy recently and my brain's been liquified. Time is only measured in units of suffering. Help. When will the Tests end...?

not mine. found on reddit, but my god scam bots on ao3 are both embarrassing and hilarious 😭 I was told their usual goal was to either get users’ personal informations/money through fake commissions or get them to delete their fics so that these bots could ‘safely steal their works to train their ai without writers being able to claim ownerships of their own works since the original sources were deleted’ but I don’t even know what the point of this is. just to scare people for fun? because some people might unfortunately believe them. just to troll?

I was also told that if they were commenting as a guest comment, they sometimes used the urls of random innocent and legit users (since anyone can use any name they want if they’re commenting as a guest user), which is just bad for the innocent users who were impersonated by these losers.

anyway, if you got a comment like this, report them for scam.

it’s also important now more than ever for us all to leave nice comments on the fics we like. with the rise of scam bots plaguing ao3’s comments section, getting a genuine, nice comment from a real person means so much to writers who gave us these wonderful fics to enjoy for free.

Will and tiny Petrichor (full img) too lazy to give him his hair accessory.

[dumlivingguy]

Don't worry guys this baby is not being eaten Herbert finally stopped giving Wilson an urge to eat them and is instead feasting on various gourmet egg dishes (in his dreams)

The baby's hairstyle has changed btw

I've been experimenting different hairstyles for him...

Quick tips for writing Sleep Deprivation 

☽ Memory becomes absolute garbage. Like “why am I in the kitchen?” garbage. “What was I saying?” garbage. Their brain is running on buffering screens and regret.

☽ Fine motor skills? Ha. They’re dropping everything. Pens. Phones. Entire moral compass. They’re basically a malfunctioning claw machine.

☽ Hallucinations creep in. That jacket on the chair? Suddenly a person. That noise? Definitely doom. Everything becomes mildly haunted.

☽ Time gets weird. Five minutes feel like a year. A full hour disappears and they swear they blinked wrong.

☽ Irritation skyrockets. They get mad at chairs. At air. At gravity. At the audacity of other humans continuing to exist.

☽ Their voice sounds weird. Slow, scratchy, like they swallowed sand.

☽ They walk like a drunk baby giraffe. Walls suddenly jump closer. Floors rise unexpectedly. Coordination said: “I’m out.”

☽ Zoning out becomes a hobby. They stare at random objects like they’re trying to understand quantum mechanics.

☽ Vision blurs in and out. Like someone smeared Vaseline over their eyeballs out of spite.

☽ Their body just hurts. Not a dramatic pain, just the “why does my skeleton feel like it’s buzzing?” pain.

☽ Food cravings go feral. They’d fight someone for a stale cookie.

☽ Terrible choices. They will absolutely say “I’m fine” while making decisions that end in disaster.

☽ Random emotional implosions. Crying because their sock feels wrong? Yes.

☽ Cold hands. Cold feet. Cold heart. (Okay maybe not the last one, but it feels like it.)

I have literally only posted two OCs on here (4 if you count the snake and the idols of starlight OC) but I already want to redo them like Wilson still looks fine to me and needs less alteration but Petrichor doesn't live up to my expectations so anyway here's an in-progress example of a new iris because I don't like his eye details. But tbh my canvas size is so small how the heck am I going to actually implement this-

I'm just as bad as Petrichor's father. He really just doesn't live up to my expectations. Sorry bro you will change until you're good enough.
