I hope every single person who puts nice comments in tags under reblogged art knows that you you guys are the backbone of society. Being an artist online sucks these days, but here on tumblr I still get compliments under artworks that I made years ago. I hope you know every WOW and heart emoji and heartfelt compliment and funny comment you left in the tags is part of the reason I kept drawing all these years, in spite of everything that was going on.

I've been screenshotting the nice tags I get for years, and at this point it would be literal thousands of lines if I still had my old files. I love u tumblr users <333333333

This godawful recent update made me think about this post again. I still screenshot and collect all the kind comments and tags I get under my art posts on here. Some of these I got recently under art that is YEARS old. This literally doesn't happen on any other social media. The way tumblr note system works (worked) is THE reason me and my friends are on here instead on twitter or whatever else tumblr seems to desperately want to become.

Why would you fuck up THE thing that differentiates you from others? That makes your platform fun to use?

Man :(((

that BIIITCH I’M WARM comic occupies a portion of my brain ever since I saw it years ago. The majority of the time I get in bed I wiggle the fuck down under the blankets and quote it and it instantly gives me 200 dopamine. Top tier drawing ingrained in my psyche forever.

biiiiiitch thank you hope you're staying warm this winter :)

The two most culturally important things from the past few years are Friday by Rebecca Black because we learned we like hating things more than we like liking them and Cookie Clicker cause we figured out the only reason people play video games is to watch the numbers go up and since then we’ve just been applying those lessons to new and better incarnations of those two things.
