Hyello It me

I go by Sparrow online and I’m 22 years of age and I’m a big fan of Games, Comics, Art and just storytelling and media in general. I’m mostly currently posting about Traffic Life and I am very normal about desert duo, trust me.

I have an art blog over at @msparrowscribbles and that’s where I do most of my public posting, here is more where I reblog things and periodically yell thoughts at the void and see if it responds back and maybe periodically post art WIPs if ur lucky.

I use the tags:

#sparrow yells into the void | for any random thought that comes to my mind that I feel like expressing on tumblr.com

#my art | for my art, crazy that one

#sparrow wips | for WIP art posts that don’t go on the art blog ;>

#aesthetic | for things I find that are really pretty, unrelated to any fan communities I’m in (I wish I’d called it something else too)

#block people | general tag encompassing all things those cube lads get up to on this ere tumblr.com, i.e: Life Series, Hermitcraft, miscellaneous AUs etc.

I’m vaguely socially anxious so I am unlikely to reach out to anyone to talk to you first previous statement now redacted as I have in fact reached out to multiple people. My asks and messages are completely open, feel free to yap at me, I will likely yap back and I will definitely appreciate it.

But yeah, if you ever want me to tag stuff (spoilers or trigger warnings) feel free to message - I try my best but you can never be 100% certain you’re covering all bases. :>

i’ve warmed up significantly towards the concept of small talk ever since i learned that its sole purpose is to make friendly noises.

as long as you smile and nod, people are satisfied. it’s just to show that you are nice and there with good intentions. we’re small in a big world and have to rely on other people to be decent to us. so we do our little human dance to each other to say, “i’m not here to hurt you. here’s something we have in common, like the weather or sports or itchy sweaters, so we both know we’re on the same team. we both agree on a basic fact, like that it is rainy or that being itchy is uncomfortable, and this proves we can get along. i’m being light-hearted and non-threatening right now.”

small talk isn’t to get to know a person. it’s just a greeting to affirm you’re buddies in the universe.

i am motivated by wanting the other person to know i am friendly, so i have gotten pretty decent at small talk when i used to hate it.

Your friend’s unpublished fic idea is kind of a dead wife

there’s this term i coined in my friendgroup i call “the charizard effect” and it can apply to anything and everything, but it was born from me explaining my feelings about the pokemon charizard. the term is basically about how overexposure to something be it by corporate shilling or fandom prominence drives me away from really enjoying something bc i’m exposed to it so much against my will i become tired of it. it came to me bc i was ranting about how tpci does not, and cannot stop reinventing charizard, and how it is popular and obtusely included in almost every region, merch, etc in every way possible and it’s highly commodified.

i dont dislike the pokemon charizard, in fact i really like its X form, but i am exposed to so much charizard in my pokemon consumption that i cant be bothered to care for it in any more than in passing. this applies to a bunch of other stuff i’d otherwise be ok with, but i always just call this aversion phenomena “the charizard effect”

[blxnc]

making this term has done numbers for me being able to concisely express how i feel abt something. like. its not charizard’s fault i feel this way, im sure i’d feel normal abt it if it was stripped of all this over commodification, but i cannot. hence the name

my friend's discord server has a "proof of touch grass" channel where they post pics of them doing regular activities outdoors/in public. i think many online spaces could benefit from such a thing

[weaselle]

when i was super depressed - like struggling to eat anything barely able to get out of bed to pee depressed - my good friend asked me every day to send her a picture of me holding a leaf and a picture of a meal i was eating and it helped me significantly

(also, she was never judgey - if my meal was a single potato chip she would simply say good job eating a potato chip today <3 )

which is to say, i agree proof of touch grass is a good idea for online spaces

This kinda required my brain a bit

fucking sucks when an au idea is SO OBVIOUS to you like surely everyone agrees w me forever and then u go on ao3 theres NOTHINGGG

gameoverse seems fun enough. but the cynical feminist in me can't help herself. all the male characters are like, cartoon blobs, which is contrasted strongly by the two major female characters in this pilot, both of whom are hour-glass shaped humanoid women who spend most of their screentime in swimsuits. and like that's not an outright dealbreaker but i *am* staring into the camera with my eyebrows raised.

[demilypyro]

idk i'm getting really tired of this "connecticut clark and malfina" type shit where male characters get to be Silly Abstract Little Guys but women have to be women shaped. it's this male-as-default thing that i hate where you don't need to add anything to a character design to imply male-ness but the woman better have wide hips and booba or else yknow like idk it's not outright Offensive but it is tiring

how it feels seeing a woman depicted in any media

liking a ship but disliking the distinct set of stock fanon that they have been assigned is like one of those punishments dante came up with when he wrote the worldbuilding for hell in inferno

[drizzledrawings]

Im so used to my queer echochamber that when a woman doesnt have armpit hair its like a jumpscare

[cheaphalloweencostume]

also we have GOT to collectively come to terms with the fact that me or any other stranger online disliking or even making fun of something you like is not saying “no fun allowed” “no one can ever enjoy this” you have simply got to grow a spine and be able to like the shit you like. you don’t even have to defend it! like 90% of the media i really enjoy is divisive and half my friends actively hate it. i really don’t give a fuck though because i like it. you can write whatever you want! you’re allowed! even if it’s MY least favorite genre or style of writing and i have active distaste for it!

[valtsv]

my problem is if i enjoy something enough i will be nitpicking. i Will have things to say about where and how it failed. out of nothing but love straight from my heart. unfortunately this often makes me indistinguishable from a hater who has never experienced joy or kindness. such is the amateur critic's burden.
