Coming back to tumblr feels like I’m reconnecting with an ex, maybe enough time has passed that they’ve changed for the better. Maybe it’ll be different this time

Now that I’m on Tumblr, is this the opportunity to share more of my story stuff?

I’ve drawn a lot, I’ve designed a lot, and I’ve written a lot over the years over multiple projects and seldom let myself put it out in public (and instances where I have I’ve buried it shortly afterwards). Maybe it’s finally time to let loose a little?

Tumblr’s running a lot slower now...

And I think it has to do with a mass migration of sorts

So Twitter may be dying for good.

And in the event that happens, I may have to wipe the dust off this lil’ ol’ account of mine which I’ve now had for (checks notes) NINE YEARS!?!?!

Not me archiving nine years worth of old artworks lol

It’s times like these when you truly realize how useless celebrities are and how essential your average grocery and health care worker is.

Calling a forest “the woods” is like calling a herd of animals “the meats.”

petition to call herds of animals “the meats” from now on

Being severely depressed is the opposite of being a ghost. Your body is still here, but your spirit is gone.

people with friends never understood the pain of the teacher saying “pick your own partners”

i always hated picking my own partner

Here’s a hot take: villains should be relatable.

Not every villain, not every time, and certainly not to everyone at once, but there should be moments. We should, occasionally, be able to see ourselves in the bad guys, be able to understand how they got there.

Because it reminds us not to fucking go there.

Antis who get upset about villains having relatable qualities (often couched as being “romanticized” or “woobified”) are people who cannot bear to ever think of themselves as having the capability of being wrong.

Every human alive is capable of being a horrible person. Relatable villains remind us to keep an eye on that shit.
