The most basic, intractable fact about mental illnesses is that you simply cannot willpower your way out of them. The only exceptions to this rule are the ones I have, which continue to disable me due to lack of determination and other grave personal flaws

The Gods of the Disc!

They had a bit of un update, since the last designs were from 2023, and at that point we didn't quite know in what direction we want to go with the world all together. Note that these designs were made together with @klu4ki.

Lore below:

Gods in the universe have a bit of an confusing position. Among people some information is considered factual and other as beliefs, to a varrying degree. Multiple generations of religions and myths surrounding the three, only confirms that people don't really know anything for certain about them. Well, maybe besides the simple fact: they exist.

Nameless, Lucifer and Ergo are three gods, that created the world in the universe. They watch over the disc from the moon, where they have a huge palace.

Nameless is the god of Order. He controls the passage of time and day/night cycle, which is often represented in artwork by him holding sun in one hand and moon in the other. He is also a symbol of balance - the forces and energy of the universe leveled.

Lucifer is the god of Death. Embodying the uncertainty of fate and the overall question for the meaning of life. He knows the date of death for everyone, and can change it at will. It's said that he's very subjective and will pick favourites that he will save from death.

Ergo is the godess of Life. She's represented by nature as a whole, including both the fauna and flora, as well as instincts that lie in everyone. One of her most important values is freedom and creativity. She's a patron of creators of all kinds that she inspires. She's also often associated with falling in love.

[prof-grace-aspen]

I really think everyone needs to truly internalize this:

Fictional characters are objects.

They are not people. You cannot "objectify" them, because they have no personhood to be deprived of. They have no humanity to be erased. You cannot "disrespect" them, because they are not real.

[nope-the-weeb-deactivated202408]

I know this has good intentions, so I will just add the "how you treat them, even as objects of fiction, can speak about your own character, be careful out there"

[prof-grace-aspen]

Your addition is actually completely antithetical to my message. It is literally the opposite of what I am conveying.

Stop telling people to encourage the cop inside their head.

How you treat fictional characters, given they are entirely objects of fiction, does NOT necessarily speak to your own character, and you do not need to be "careful".

It is not dangerous to imagine dark things happening to fictional characters. It does not mean you are secretly a bad person. It does not mean you unconsciously want to hurt people in real life. It is not a "slippery slope" to doing bad things to people in real life. You cannot damage your brain or turn yourself into a bad person by consuming "dark" fanfic.

I can write tentacle noncon of my favorite character all day long and be a fierce anti-sexual assault advocate in real life because what I do in my head is not the same thing as what I do in real life.

Ok class, art literacy time. This image "Ceci n'est pas une pipe" (This is not a pipe) is meant to illustrate this exact lesson. A pipe is paraphernalia, a tool used to consume tobacco and drugs. Some places make it illegal to carry one on you. But this is AN IMAGE, not a pipe. It is art depicting a subject. You can have feelings about pipes and their use and risks but when you begin censoring art, you begin to surrender your freedoms as a human being.

A fictional story about a fictional person being abused is not abuse of an actual person. As uncomfortable as our society has become with so much as using the words for uncomfortable subjects is indicative of our society's slide towards fascism and puritanical repression. Art depicts life and, whether we as a society like it or not, abuse, domestic violence, rape, suicide, incest, child sexual abuse, addiction, homelessness, sex work and murder are all actual things that actually happen and most real life villains are never caught by the legal system. Burying discussions, censoring depictions and silencing artists only helps these villains.

You are allowed to dislike a subject and choose not to engage with media that depicts that subject. You do not get to villainize artists that produce art of the subject, you don't get to censor the words and images just because they make you uncomfortable and you certainly don't get to restrict production of that art.

You know that weird phase where you are not asleep yet but your mind starts doing whatever and you can't really control it? Yeah.

[thickness-protection-program]

stop talking about politics over the fucking tumblr for-you-page, no one wants to see the fucking political shit your talking about, and your posts are offensive and I don't wanna read your political topics, GET OUT

Fuck trump, fuck maga, fuck billionaires, fuck Nazis, feed the poor, eat the rich, trans rights, women's rights, yay abortion, yay free healthcare, yay free education, yay all vaccines, black lives matter, blue lives don't matter, abolish ice, fuck Republicans, fuck ai, fuck capitalism, fuck racists, fuck fascists, fuck war mongers, fuck Israel, fuck zionists, stop the genocide, and if any of that offends you then fuck you you're ugly and stupid and I hope you have a terrible day but thank you for taking time out of your day to give me attention

[wolfertinger666]

I'm scared I'm wasting my time drawing shit nobody cares about. it's not even the results it's my fear I'm wasting my time on bullshit. I wanna work on Hitch and Hitomi refs but is that a waste of time too despite being my more beloved ocs?

I rather not self flagellate but this comes from a place of anxiety.

[fall-shorter]

Ngl, I fucking hate how the sideview of GFR chars look on their official model sheets. It was so clear that this one year ago I had no idea how to draw a body sideways and it looks ridiculous and I hate it.

And yes, the efficient part of my brain really tries to push the idea THAT I HAVE BETTER THINGS TO DO THAN FIXING IT. But alas. I will. fix it. Because those sheets need to look good for animation later.

ANYWAYS.

(Also btw Ivo is getting a design update, because I say so.)

[inbabylontheywept]

People are so much more sad, and desparate, and lonely than you think. I have had three incidents in the last four months were a technician I was working with was being either dangerously unfocused (we work with high voltage), or just flat out angry with their coworkers, and every time when I just pulled them aside to say hey, this isn't you, you're nice, and you're competent, so something must be up - what can I do to help - they have responded by bursting into tears. One guy was struggling to get his wife moved into a care home, one guy just got served divorce papers, and the other hadn't slept a wink the night before because his daughter had the pukes.

I haven't spent my whole life responding to people being rude, or stupid, or dangerous with knee jerk compassion. It's a new habit. The first time I did that as the lead for my lab, it was because the guy genuinely was so good natured that I knew something had to be off. But the other two times were just me going, alright, lets see if it always goes this well, and so far, it has. I'm almost 30, and I just figured out that the #1 reason people are shitty are because they are going through shit.

I don't think you have, like, a moral obligation to respond to people being jerks with knee jerk compassion. But it has made my life so much easier the last four months that I would recommend trying. For your own sake. Please.

(I'll step off my soapbox now. Enjoy your Sunday.)

[anarchopuppy]

practice soft skills. shit is going to keep getting worse for a good while before it starts getting better. we need to be making an active effort to show ppl grace and kindness and understanding now, bc were all going thru it, and maintaining community is only gonna get more and more important from here on out. this isnt optional, its a survival skill

Many people are aware that copyright originated as and remains a protection for publishers, not authors.

However, there are longstanding rights intended to protect authors. These are legally called 'the moral rights of authors.' Good naming.

These rights include:

The right to attribution. To have your name on your work. Don't repost peoples work without attribution.

The right to use a pen name or to publish anonymously. Publishers should protect the privacy of authors. Service providers shouldn't require posters to provide ID.

The right to integrity. Editors should not cut up your work to make it say something you do not endorse.

So let's review:

❌ AI harms authors because it violates copyright.

✅ AI harms authors because it violates their rights to attribution and integrity.

Szili x Willie ass post

[junkratsadstuck]

here at the sandwich shop, we’ve started to notice some people who are new to sandwiches aren’t used to meat and cheese between two slices of bread. they find this practice strange and confusing. that’s why we’ve decided to cut the bread out all together. from now on, we’ll just serve slices of meat and cheese on a plate.

[junkratsadstuck]

we know that many of our loyal sandwich shop customers have been coming here for years to buy our delicious sandwiches. but some people don’t “get” sandwiches, and we need to try and appeal to them with an easier-to-understand meal format. we will no longer be serving sandwiches. all of our food will just be cold cuts on a paper plate. we love our customers and appreciate your understanding <3

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

Yes we know Craig's Cold Cuts down the street does cold cuts better than we do and has millions of customers. That's why we need to switch to cold cuts, to get their customers. We hope that our long-time sandwich loving customer base will be patient in this transition to cold cuts and welcome the certain influx of Craig's Cold Cut customers who will surely come here to enjoy our worse cold cuts with you, our sandwich-deprived customer base, whom we value so much.

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

I love how this goes around again every time the tumblr staff does something fucking stupid.
