santiago is an unreliable narrator

↳ jamie maybe isnt the worst ever

BPD santiago, AuDHD jamie

↳ why did santiago cheat on his girlfriend?

santiago analysis proper

jamie analysis proper

Reblogs in a chain now get their own notes

The reblog chain is one of the things that makes Tumblr unlike anywhere else. All the notes on reblogs are attributed to the original post, no matter which branch people actually liked or reblogged. We want to keep encouraging conversations, and give contributors the recognition they deserve. 

Soon, you'll be able to like, reblog, or reply to any part of a reblog chain, and that note will go to that reblog's author. Each reblog will have its own counts, instead of one aggregated number from every version of the post. And yes, you’ll be able to like multiple posts in one chain.

If a reblog doesn't add anything, the love flows up to the last person in the chain who did. Your post doesn't lose notes just because people spread it quietly.

Past notes will stay on the original post — we're only changing what happens from here on out. Retroactively re-attributing all of them would be... a lot.

This is just the beginning. More changes are coming as we keep building this out – stay tuned!

[changes]

It’s very clear that you all have strong feelings about Tumblr and about this change. We hear you. The passion people have for how Tumblr works is one of the things that makes this place special.

As this rolls out over the next few days and you explore it, we’ll keep reading your replies and reblogs, so please keep sharing your questions, concerns, and ideas.

Your creativity has always been the heart of Tumblr, whether you’re the original poster or adding something brilliant in the reblogs, and nothing about this change is meant to limit that.

If you’d like to talk directly beyond the comments, leave a reply and we’ll follow up with as many of you as we can. We want to work with you to make Tumblr better.

for ask game:

20. Something everyone else finds hard to draw but you enjoy

21. Art styles nothing like your own but you like anyways

25. Something your art has been compared to that you were NOT inspired by

hiii hmmm

20- i'm strangely really good at studies from real life, ie i can look at something in front of me and if its not moving draw it pretty accurately, it's very medatative for me. so 'realism' in that way i guess? i'm nowhere near as good from photos lol. i don't really 'absorb' what i draw either way, i just kinda turn my brain off so it's not very helpful for actually learning/improving... I also really like doing style matching, used to do a lot of fake screenshots/panels/edits for various media i liked and it would always make me kinda proud when i could confuse people on wether it was official or not LOL. i know i could probably do the same for TOL but it feels kinda scummy seeing as it's just one person's project, I don't want to be confused with the creator/muddy what people think is actually Official. ik @classic-jamie already gets mistaken for the author sometimes, and her art isn't even the same 'style' as the official...

21- umm well i don't like pinning myself down to havng 'a style', the way i draw on here & generally is really just usually what's 'fastest' because if i think too hard about my art i end up really disliking it & i've been having alot of issues getting in the wayy of being able to Sit Down And Draw of late... i think pretty much any 'style' of art has its own merit but personally i really like low poly 3D art, watercolour/painting, limited palette w/ thin linework (kinda woodblock print or vintage book/magazine illust-ish) look, and ofc a good classic black and white ink comic... i can appreciate pretty much any 'art style'...... apart from illust/2d visuals, sculptures & most audio stuff are stuff i really love (only exception is when things are too loud/harsh i just physically cannot handle it lol). i have a lot of appreciation for mixers/audio engineers. A few artists on tumblr i loove are @teomodo , @thetidemice @mr-foods and @shittishittibangbang , they have such nice loose expressive art and compositions that are just so much FUN to look at.... i'd love to be able to make art in a similar vein someday! I also really love old eastern european stop motion stuff. & i'm sure there's so much more i just haven't discovered yet ^_^ 25- hmmm... i honestly cant think of much cause not enough ppl really look at my art in general to make comparisons LOL... i think i wear my inspirations pretty on my sleeve ? But i guess sometimes ppl will compare it to cartoons i've never seen, i didn't have cable growing up so didn't see most cartoon network/nickelodeon/disney channel/whatever & i would get local public channels... when i used to draw with a lot more focus on intentional tangent lines (i was really like... rebellious? isn't the right word. i guess kind of spiteful? very 'they say tangent lines are bad but i think the system is WRONG!') people would compare it to that sorta y2k cartoon style and it would piss me off because i was actually inspired a lot by the sercret of kells/hungarian folktales... i'd like to think im more mature now hah & that i recognise its all interconnected stylistically so i don't really care anymore

i can feel myself becoming increasingly hostile to the aspect of "geek/nerd" identity that's just a conglomeration of pop culture.

and like. i'm not immune to the appeal of a franchise, either in the past or presently, but i really don't want to be stuck in the blender that's currently liquefying fandoms together into a homogenous yet flavorfully clashing gloop

[headsplit2008]

im chewing on them. im chewing on them. wat does it all mean. ms ecka why are you so attached to mayvitch specifically. mayvitch what other things in your life do you find unpleasant that you grit your teeth and deal with anyways. theyre fascinating. i want to crack them open like a shaken bottle of beer and see wats inside. the pscht noise & shit. iooooiiuugh hannahs...

[headsplit2008]

and thank god jamie isnt light blonde

[weepyemperor]

descriptions of the Essential Masculine Experience are always written by a) someone who thinks that women have no inner lives and thus imagines that the basic elements of the human condition are only experienced by men or b) someone who thinks that video games and action movies are real life

[headsplit2008]

I KNOW

[headsplit2008]

watever not to sound pissy about it but i'm not a 'fan' of thinking out loud (or really anything else i like) and it really gets on my nerves to be lumped into that category. i'm very critical of 'fan' culture, especially its hyperconsumerist nature. i very intentionally don't participate in 'collecting' mechandise for things, one of the reasons i respect TOL as a project is how blunt it was in its kickstarter about the fact there would not be frivolous excessive merch. not to get too personal but coming from a background involving hoarding it's frightening how easily i see people start to slip into those kinds of purchasing habits, and the impact they have on the environment & other people (1-day shipping, toxic materials, etc). i hate how nobody cares where/how the keychains they get of their 'blorbos' are produced, wether the labour practices there are humane. it's like being anticapitalist or whatever they'll call themselves leaves someone's body as soon as preorders open for plushes of Their Favourite Character. "let people have nice things" "it's my little treat" i'm not against people having things they like, but if the thing you like is not essential to your survival and the mode of its production/distribution (you have the ability to find out) is directly harmful to someone else, i think it's frankly incredibly selfish to still purchase it; to think that your convenience and gratuitous 'comfort' is more important than someone else's safety/health. Class also becomes glaringly obvious when one can't afford 'merch' even if they want it, and how someone being a 'true fan'/'bigger fan' is 'proven' by the more merchandise they own. It enforces a classist dynamic even within these spaces, where wealthier people have more power and influence over the 'fandom' because of their associated 'authority' that comes with Having More Stuff, and/or having more tools/resources to be able to make more fan-stuff. When I like something I personally prefer to try and see what I can do to help it succeed from a production standpoint. Like in a lot of things, I prefer to try and help from behind the curtain rather than in front of it, which is why being labelled as a 'fan' makes me uncomfortable; it paints the people making something I like as on a higher level than myself, and implies their superiority, rather than acknowledging that they're humans too & their work is made possibly by learning & trying rather than some innate special talent they have that others lack. to me it can feel almost disrespectful to them, like it disregards the active effort they put in to improve. 'fandoms' can deify the creators behind the media they like, and/or witch-hunt and villanize them when the things they as individuals want don't happen in the narrative. a lot of 'fan' culture as well is incredibly misogynistic, even women, and very racist, & that whole "let people enjoy things" mindset is used to shut down the possibility of meaningful discussions regarding those things. even though i'm sure most people perpetuating it aren't doing harm intentionally, this stuff has made being in these 'fan' spaces often a really terrible experience for me and i do not like being associated with them.

Thanks & i hope this clears up a bit of why i don't like being called a 'fan' of things i enjoy.
