Yelling at the Void

My art blog where I share my art and stuff about my OCs. Feel free to come ask about my characters, or any of my art in general. (Pronouns: they/them)

"Be sure to shake it!" the bubble tea barista tells me but I don't. I won't. Why would I? "It mixes the sugar" maybe you want that. Maybe YOU do. To be drinking some homogenous concoction. Uniformly distributed. Each sip the same as the last. Just as sweet. Just as sweet. Just as sweet. All pointless flat indulgence. No personality. No humanity. A time-loop of your own devising, bereft of experience, sanitized of risk.

I want my first sip to be teeth-curdlingly sweet. I want the next to be horribly disappointing. I want to hunt. I want to jab my straw into pockets of substance like my ancestors stirring twigs into a bug colony. I want to raise the straw to different depths and feel something. The ocean is so far but I know what it means to rise from its syrupy dark depths into the still waters above.

I want all boba. I want no boba. I want to scoop the bubbles with my straw when the ice-rocks have been washed dry by the tide. "Be sure to shake it." Never. I want to experience every human emotion in this cup of tea. I am not a coward. I am not a sheep. My tea is still enough for pond-skaters to glide. It will not shake. Live your repetitive nothing. Live in fear of the unknown. Live your fear of change. I am choking on a boba.

keep thinking about how I wrote in my dissertation about how every time a new form of public/social space emerges it's immediately popular with kids and teenagers who see it as a chance at freedom and then adults colonise it and kick them out. this happened with malls in the 80s and diners in the 50s and pool halls in the 20s. my dad was doing research on this trend in like 1975. and I was like "yeah so this is going to happen to the internet" and then five years later every government suddenly decided to ban kids from everywhere online. I hate being right especially when I don't even get paid for it

BEFORE YOU CLICK A LINK!

Reblog this post :) Especially if you’re on mobile, you’ll lose the post if you click the link without thinking. Take a note from your elders before you

[porcupine-girl]

Interesting note: It definitely uses whoever you're following now, not at that date. Even the 2020 one includes a lot of people I was absolutely not following yet in Feb 2020, which is actually kind of cool, I can see what they were reblogging from this fandom before I got into it.

[mossghoul]

Distinct from fine art, it’s also about avoiding developing the skill of written composition (forget vocab, spelling, grammar, appropriate word choice, proof-reading), it’s about avoiding developing any ability to express yourself, and failing to develop reading comprehension (if you plug something into it, asking for a summary). It’s just about being lazy and incompetent, and insisting that laziness and incompetence is fine, actually.

[robo-cryptid]

I hadn’t connected AI use with the recent surge in anti-intellectualism, but this makes me think it pretty neatly links that with the capitalist disrespect for art and writing as meaningful pursuits.

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

all goofing aside I genuinely don't understand the urge to reimagine Taylor Allison Swift as a secretly queer icon when the pop music scene(TM) is like. literally overflowing with women who actually like women. Gaga and Kesha and Miley and Halsey are right there. Rina Sawayama and Hayley Kiyoko and Rebecca Black and Kehlani and Victoria Monét and Miya Folick if you're willing to get slightly less top 100. Janelle and Demi for them nonbinary takes on liking girls. like what are we doing here. like I'm not even saying you can't enjoy Taylor but why would you hang all your little gay hopes on her.

[thepuppeteer-andthetrashmob]

Isn’t Lady Gaga bisexual?

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

yes that is indeed why she's on the list of famous women who like women

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

why have multiple people reblogged this with some horse-assed "um actually most of these people are bi or pan" did I fucking stutter I said they like girls. what is your point. I'm going to kill you.

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

#op probably has this post muted but the icon is too real.

the icon is because of this post

[wildflower182]

POV: you make a good post and then encounter tumblr reading comprehension

[ericrmalice-deactivated20240323]

btw to just clarify for anyone who sees this reblog of this post

op is basically saying something along the lines of "yea ik taylor swift is bi but like. why is she y'all's only lgbtq+ pop icon when there are all these other lgbtq+ people in the pop scene???"

i might have worded this badly but hopefully i got the main point across

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

hi op here I certainly did not fucking say Taylor Swift is bi

[1-800-horrorfilms]

[cealvan]

Op is saying that liking Taylor for being QUEER or Lgbtqia+ is not a bad thing, but to also know she is not the only one.

He did not call anyone in the original post lesbian bi or pan.

He did call two people NB

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

you have to be fucking with me there's no way

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

#Op you gonna have to make a graph

on it:

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

#I think it’s so funny I got that damn Taylor swift ad underneath this#anyways this is reminding me of that makeup post from way back when#where someone was saying no makeup is a valid way to wear your face and everyone kept insisting that you only need like….4 products

yeah that was also my post

[halfabouros]

Please actually read the post because Taylor Swift isn't gay or queer you're just protecting because you want a reason to treat a real person like she's not humanly here.

If you want women or non-binary people to talk about their love of women there's actual bi/pan/lesbian artists who talk about their love of women and sing songs about it. You literally don't have an excuse to not listen to their songs at least once, especially if you're after W/W rep that Taylor Swift literally can't give you because she's Straight.

It's actually so simple in fact to find a song about kissing girls as a girl because there's a fucking song titled "I KISSED A GIRL" By LADY GAGA!!!!!

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

I Kissed A Girl is by Katy Perry

[wickedpissahnerd]

“I Kissed a Girl” was by Jill Sobule, who sadly died a few days ago (May 1, 2025). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jill_Sobule

The Katy Perry version is a cover.

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

I can't believe I'm still doing this on this post but it's not a cover, they're completely different songs with the same names.

this is the Sobule song

and this is the Perry song

[therosielord]

This is the most godawful train wreck of a post I have ever seen on this fucking hell site. OP you are braver than any US Marine

[syccamorarts]

Drew my friend's favorite pokemon, piplup for her! Planning to turn it into a sticker for her using tape.

[syccamorei]

Check out my art blog! I'll be posting pokemon, one piece, genshin, and Homestuck fanart there, as well as art of my cat and my ocs

[lr-arts]

My current little concept design of my Cookie Run Kingdom Oc: Toasted Cookie! He's a s'more cookie from the Dark Cacao Kingdom. He's like a nomadic hunter/gatherer type? His like story is still kinda vague in my mind but I'm honestly just having fun with the designing aspect over anything else.

[lr-arts]

I've been told I need to post on here so ig I'm here to yell about some projects I'm working on. I've been mostly Struggling, but in between that I have a lot of writing I've been doing with some side art projects.

Kazue story/lore. I've been wanted to write out their whole story for a while now and so off and on I've been doing just that. Mostly a lot of disconnected scenes from their childhood up to their 'in game' timeline and beyond. I have like their backstory, traveler introduction(pre-inazuma, end of Liyue time line wise), to character quest one and two(though they don't really involve the traveler so not exactly) all outlines roughly.

Homestuck Sburb/sgrub fan session. I made a bunch of ocs for some fan session rps that never went anywhere so I decided to just... write my own. Mostly ping ponging between character design and actual planning lol. Some day I'll share them cause i actually LOVE these guys

Cookie Run Kingdom OCs. I got super into the game again with my friend and we both are almost caught up on beast yeast, so we made ocs together. It's mostly just doodles but I love them anyway.

Dirkloz Fanfic. I have a whole ass fanfic on AO3 I'm writing. Haven't updated in a while but I'm TRYING to get back to it. It's literally just an excuse to indulge in my insane rare pair lmao (It's here if you care uwu)

Anyway just an update as I try and get myself to be somewhat more productive. I'm starting college and moving out on my own at the end of the year so I'm hoping to force myself into some kind of rhythm so I don't entirely die

[lr-arts]

Apparently I never?? posted this fucker??? wild. Anyway, since they're on my mind again- here is my little Genshin OC. Or their rough concept design at least Their name is Kazue Sano. They end up being raised in Liyue by a really lame Mentor Yin Jian and even train under Tighnari for a bit of their teens/childhood. They later return to Inazuma after the vision decree is over to find their family, and end up working as an apothecary for the Yashiro Commission

I have poured like way too much research and lore into their design LMAO but it's still not where i'd like it to be, hence dubbing it more of a concept at this point. I'll probably yell about their lore and stuff more cause i think i posted previously that i have genuinely entire quest lines planned out for them and stories from their childhood in inazuma, being raised in liyue, training in sumeru, and then returning to inazuma! im totally normal about them frfr.

[lr-arts]

I have an entire act one and act two quest sort of planned out for my one genshin oc, however im stuck with how to write it out.

Obvs if it was a true quest it would be from the travelers pov, but I'm considering writing it more from Kazue’s so i can explore more of the inbetween.

I could mix the povs..? But im not sure how to structure that.

Act one is just an intro and set up so that could be more traveler pov

And then act two i switch since it goes more into the back story and maybe us a omniscient POV in the parts with the traveler.

Many options.

[lr-arts]

Its been age an a half since i used this side blog properly/updated it.

But i think I shall change that soon so i can inflict my half formed projects on the void.

Mostly for my own use I'm going to establish some proper tags for this blog so i can pretend to semi organized.

#oc for all oc related things

#rabble for my unconnected thoughts in text posts

#my art for art/drawings/doodles

#oclore for anything about my ocs stories/writing about them

#storyboarding for any writing not tied to ocs

[revoltingchild]

[mxlabradorite]

I will reblog this every Christmas season I’m on tumblr.

[drunkygoesonadventures]

It’s beginning to look a lot like shit scram

[midnight-spectrum-again]

Oh my god

[lr-arts]

holidays have me in a choke hold, but I did manage to get this lovely little drawing of an adult Abaddon- one of my ocs.

[lucidicer]

i'm seeing people losing hope for palestine i'm begging you seriously please don't. the death toll is high but there are still people alive, there are still journalists risking everything to make sure the world sees what is happening. please continue protesting if you have the option to, keep demanding for a ceasefire and keep talking about palestinians both alive and dead. you have to keep going until the very end or else you really did fail them.

[bundibird]

Reminder that before all this, the population of Gaza was approximately 2,300,000. The current death toll is around 15,500 - possibly as many as 20,000. That's horrific, yes. But that means that there are still at least 2,280,000 gazans alive and kicking. There are 2.28 million people who would benefit from a permanent ceasefire; for an end to Israeli hostility; for increased aid and reliable access to food and water. There are still 2.28 million people that Israel has not managed to kill.

So keep making noise. Do whatever you can to help those 2.28 million living people, and to remember and honour the 15,000-20,000 lives that have been taken. Giving up on Gaza helps no one but Israel.

[lr-arts]

So on top of health stuff acting up again, I've been really hyper focused on my writing lately over art. so here's some options for yall

share my writing snippets or general insanity

just post wip pieces or art ideas

just wait until you have time to do actual art again
