the insane experience of missing a fictional character . like you can always go back and reread the book , replay the game , rewatch the show or movie , you can always go back & see them , but you can never experience them & their story for the first time again . its absurd to miss them because they'll always be there , but you'll miss when there were still new things for them to say .

for a small time they were real & growing and changing and you hung onto every new word, but now all they can do is repeat the same story forever&ever & they're not real anymore because you know everything they're going to do. & you miss them. its fucked man...

in this way fanworks are like necromancy

I'm planning to use Tumblr to be a bit more grounded so... Having to drop from three streams a week to two really bites (laughs) I'm in an incredibly fortunate situation right now and get to devote *a lot* of time to developing my social media presence and trying to be a full time content creator, but I just can't manage time for shit I love streaming, I stream around two hours per session- I know that seems like a bit too little, but then I have my post-stream crash afterwords for like minimum an hour bc sitting at my desk that long and talking hurts bad (laughs) and I need the menty-B. The rest of my time is fulled by me me struggling to edit, eeking out maybe a couple shorts for the upcoming week, attempting to draw while telling myself I should do more editing, working on my first cover song while I tell myself I should be editing, and researching for my longform YT videos while telling myself I should be editing. Writing this out, I think maybe I beat myself up too much for not editing (laughs) But it's important!! And I just can't seem to make myself do it regularly. I struggle to work... I don't think I'm suited to the standard 40 hour work day (is anyone?) so I don't strive to do it while I work on this, usually working 5-6 hours a day instead. So in the interests of growing outside of twitch, I drop a day of streaming (laughs) But it sucks!! I like streaming and talking to everyone! And I hate editing!!! And I think... if I were rich, then I wouldn't have to do any of the parts I don't like, I could just outsource it to someone else and pay them fairly. But I'm not rich, my family is not rich, and so I actually have to work at the thing that I want to make my job one day (laughs)

I don't follow the advice of all of the "here's how to grow your content!" girlies (including the men) who all say that I'm young and that I should be spending 100% of my time working on content and posting every single day and posting slop to get monetized faster- but like. I just don't think I'm suited to that. Wonder if my "work 6 hours a day and take breaks when you need to and take weekends off to go socialize" workstyle will actually, you know, work (laughs) guess I'll find out

Long winded way to complain and inform that my streams are being bumped down to twice a week lmao. Thanks for reading <3

tumblr is the funniest social media site to go viral on

[were--ralph]

on tiktok people will quit their jobs after going viral once but on here not only can any post get 50k notes, but if it does theres nothing you can do with it. theres no monetization or any transferable skills at all. you just made a funny post and people liked it and thats the start and end of your career

[were--ralph]

you could say "i left the stove on" with no context and it might break containment on here and people start tagging it with ships and kins and theres no way to delete it forever unless staff gets involved. your mistake will never go away but your claim to fame will instantly

[were--ralph]

its like yes im the pineapple werewolf guy but no one outside of here and like 5 posts on reddit will ever know what that sentence means. i could jump on tiktok and no one would know me. no one on youtube or facebook. this is my little corner of the internet and i will die here before i give up that title and when i do know i lost nothing in the process

Oh my god I forgot I made a tumblr XD

TWO YEARS LATER, where am I at now? Welllll

I’ve been streaming for the past 6 months! 🥳

I have 35 followers on Twitch and have hit Affiliate 🥳

I’m re-learning how to edit to make Shorts! 🥳

And most importantly…

MY 2.0 PNG MODEL IS RELEASING THIS WEEK!!! 🎊🎉🥳

I’ve been nervous to work on it bc I feel bad for taking longer with my actual model (lol) but I decided the model’s taking a really long time, so here I am!! I’ll likely be making a couple more poses and using this for my primary youtube channel as well- you may see me using this png for a commentary video one day soon XD

(Ignore that the clothes are weirdly cell shaded and look like they belong to a completely different drawing style- I never claimed to be an artist and I don’t understand how to render colored art. I’m frankly amazed the hair looks as nice as it does I just started going at it with random lines XD)

I’ll try to post more here in general. I really do love Tumblr I’d love to have a little side blog where I can be a bit more down to earth and can talk to people a bit more like… me, lmao

Thank you for reading everyone who did 🤍

Update!!! Update!!!

I’ve been noodling around with my design for a while now, as trying to figure out a cool and interesting concept for a character’s backstory & designing a character are apparently very different skill sets XD

But I think I finally hit on something really, really cool!

I saw a video that explained that good character design starts with a good silhouette, so I started with making an interesting silhouette and AHHHH I REALLY LOVE IT

Now I have to add the details XD but even as a stand alone it’s so visually interesting!!! It feels like a hard upgrade compared to my character before;

Stay tuned to see her in full glory ^^

I need to come up with a way to induce a dopamine feedback system for just doing tasks that take a bit longer, I think lol

I’ve been trying to write some video scripts, but I keep getting distracted by working on my Vroid model, because the dopamine hits faster when I make a braid on my model then when I finish a script & then still have to do the recording an editing.

And seeing how I’ve just worded that, I do think I’ve encountered half the problem XD Probably would help to few the script as one cohesive finished item that allows access to the next cohesive finished item, the same as making a braid vs making the whole model.

But regardless, people with concentration issues- what are your systems? Do you do what I outlined above? Do you have some external reward set up? Bc I’m trying to figure something out, but clearly I need another system lol

(Oh boy here we go XD)

Hello all, I’m Poppet! I’m hoping to be an English V-tuber focusing on cozy content and positive creative vibes. Ultimately I hope to do good morning streams, and some productivity streams. Plus, I have this whole backstory planned out. It’s tragic and everything! :D

I’m going to try to post here often (my Host is a Tumblr native, so this seems much safer to other social media sites comparatively XD) as I start to set things up for my first few streams.

As an extra sign on bonus for this first post, here are some sketches Host did for me while we started to work on a PNG for the first streams ^^

I hope to see you all on this journey with me!
