jackal / riley | 28 | ♐︎ | he/him | 🏳️🌈 🏳️⚧️ artist and fish enthusiast | wisconsin, usa 𓆟 personal blog 𓆟 largely a queued account with occasional active posting
I’m a digital (and less frequently traditional) artist from the USA, and I’ve been on this site for over 10 years now. I talk a lot in the tags. I love fantasy and art and poetry and nature.
If you message me and I don’t respond, please don’t take it personally! Decent mental health comes and goes, so there are times when I am very social and times when I am completely withdrawn, so it becomes very difficult to communicate consistently as a result. At the worst points, I go through periods of isolation and will abandon social media entirely for weeks. I use an untagged queue function, so it may not be obvious if I’m offline. Sorry in advance for any trouble and thanks for your understanding 💚

FULL INFO ABOUT MY TAGGING SYSTEM BELOW THE CUT
PERSONAL TAGS:
I frequently reblog posts about grief and death and bones and graves under #death tag, and I also post about love and community under #love tag. I also have a newly established #hope tag, but it’s less frequently used.
TRIGGER TAGS:
I tag triggers in the #trigger format (ie #bugs #blood #suicide #animal death). I try to tag most common triggers, but apologize in advance if I miss a post here or there. If you have a specific trigger you’d like me to tag or watch out for, please message my askbox. I also occasionally tag #nudity but I do not tag things #NSFW as that is too vague a term in my opinion.
OTHER:
Guilt-tripping posts and “reblog this and you will have good luck” posts are hostile to people suffering from OCD, so I avoid reblogging them. If you see one, assume I failed to resist the compulsion lol. I will reblog donation posts occasionally, but because I’m sure everyone on Tumblr follows well over a hundred blogs at least, I won’t reblog every donation post that crosses my dash as I don’t want to flood my followers with more GFMs than they can keep up with. Please do not message me with a request to reblog your fundraiser.
Other than triggers and the specific personal tags mentioned above, I also occasionally will tag specific media for my own reference. It’s rare that I do this though, so it would not be effective to use my media tags to filter that content out if you don’t want to see it. If needed, feel free to send me a message to ask me to tag certain media, but I might not be able to consistently tag it, so if you are really uncomfortable with something I’m blogging about a lot, you might be better off unfollowing for your own comfort. I ultimately believe in the concept of cultivating your own online experience, so if I am not a comfortable part of that experience, no hard feelings! 💚
"'I don't know' isn't an answer" alright man then I'll just. Fuckin. Enter my philosophical mind-palace and check the fuckin akashic records. Real quick lemme just catch and cook and eat the Salmon of All Knowledge. Tell me ur question again so I can real quick climb to the highest branches of the Yggdrasil and lay it at the feet of Freda the all-wise Queen of Heaven. Dickhead.
We need to conquer space travel for the only reason that zero-g would allow for new never before seen pastries, you know how the top of the muffin is the best part? Well that is because it is exposed to air so it changes the chemistry, in normal earth gravity it is impossible to make a muffin that is all top part because it needs to be placed somewhere which would restrict air flow, however in zero g it would be possible to make a bubble out of muffin dough which gets optimal airflow and becomes an all-top part muffin... This is the dream...
being the second child is so lame when your older brother has no fortunes to inherit or power to come into. all of my scheming younger brother tendencies are being completely wasted like it’s not even worth putting all my efforts into usurping him and taking his place as heir. it’s not even worth it
like obviously I’m still going to do it because plotting and scheming are natural responses to being the second child but it’s just not the most lucrative career option anymore
I could . not. put. this down for 48 hours - stayed up too late, had weird dreams about it, woke up early, and played it while I was supposed to be doing other things. the last several dozen items took a lot of googling, which I do not even begrudge it.
and then. My partner started it. And the SAME THING happened to him.
surprisingly compelling. start when you have free time. like, yanno, a snow day.
oh my god, if you are the kind of person who gets sucked into logic puzzles, do not click that link if you have to do anything/go to sleep in the next couple hours
I was disappointed there weren't more levels, so I made them! The creator's code was under CC Share Alike, so I moved a copy to my website, rustled up 40 new categories, and added buttons so you can generate smaller puzzles!
Went to an Oedipus Rex adaption today and my friends were debating whether the Oedipus/Jocasta age gap was problematic. Like guys…I think their relationship has bigger issues
any tips for developing discipline? ive been going through life on a lackadaisical hedonist build but ive got a bunch of mysterious problems that i may or may not be at fault for
pluto (the celestial body) told me that it’s actually kind of upsetting how much you guys insist on her being a planet. she says it feels like you don’t like her for who she is and you’d prefer an imagined version of her instead. what’s so terrible about being a dwarf planet, she asked me. does she have to be a “real” planet to be worthy of love?
