I Try to Art and Somtimes I Vaguely Succeed

I taught myself to draw simple chibi-like figures from YouTube videos, which is not unlike the way I learned to play the guitar (rubbishly). I love and am proud of every finished drawing

[saradrawings]

I don’t draw a lot anymore but during lockdown I’ve been painting (mainly frogs, I tried some Pride ones too)

[jellied-peaches]

i meant to do real art but photoshop keeps fucking crashing so look at my shitty high school musical troy/chad water colour doodles, i take no criticism on my shipping

THIS IS AMAZINGLY UNDERRATED

Dear Tumblr Staff:

I have a story to tell you, the story of Digg.

Digg was once a very popular and vibrant site. Once valued at about $200 million, it eventually sold for $500 thousand. 

What caused this sudden drop in Digg’s value? About five years ago they updated the site, removing a bunch of features in a way that nobody really liked and changing the site around. They didn’t listen to what their user base wanted, and rather quickly alternatives were discovered and they were no more. It is said that their traffic dropped 25% in under a week.

And so was born reddit. Remember this tumblr, you’re not indestructable. If you continue to fuck the site up, the next “tumblr” will be born and the inevitable migration will occur.

Digg made a mistake. They underestimated their user’s willingness to jump ship and took their community for granted by going against their wishes. Don’t make that mistake, tumblr. It won’t work out for you.

There aren’t enough *puts breadsticks in purse* memes to make me stay if you go through with this destruction. 

[scaredofbats]

Here’s a petition, reblog if you think tumblr should not go through with the REBLOG update. They’re going to lose users.

This is the update btw for anyone wondering

[prettylittleliartheorie-s]

How will the pun and joke posts work with this update?

[yabookers]

It looks horrible!

[mommabearclarke]

SO THE POSTS WILL BECOME EVEN LONGER???? What the fuck are you playing at staff?

[saradrawings]

This is terrible. We're going to get rid of the iconic way that tumblr works? And has worked for years? I'd be willing to bet that most people use the website because they like the way it works. We may as well just be on Facebook or Reddit if we change it to this.

what is your favorite assassination story in history?

Some people who’ve been following me for a while probably have picked up that I love the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. Although all the political mechanisms behind his assassination are fascinating as well, especially because, y’know, it led to world war 1, the actual assassination story is my favorite. (Because it was so hilariously botched)

You guys probably already know it but GUESS WHAT I’M TELLING IT AGAIN. (Im not gonna source though ‘cause I’m lazy sorry) 

So, ahem. Story time. Gather round, children.

There’s this dude named Franz and he was heir presumptive to the Austro-Hungarian throne back in 1914. So he went to inspect some imperial troops in Boznia and Herzegovina, which were provinces of Austria-Hungary. This pissed off a bunch of Serbian nationalists, who thought the territories should be part of the Serbian nation.

But I don’t really care about that. What’s important was that Franz and his wife were in Sarajevo and a terrorist group called the Black Hand decided to off him.

So Franz and his wife are touring around this city in an open-topped car, doing their whole royal wave thing. The Black Hand actually sent six assassins after the Ferdinands, just to make absolutely sure they died. The first guy actually chickened out so he’s not really important. The second assassin comes up all “Yeah i’m gonna kill these guys” so he throws a grenade at the car and it BOUNCES OFF and although it injures some people nearby, the Ferdinands are completely fine. So the dude’s like “oh shit” so he takes a cyanide pill and throws himself into a river so he won’t be taken by the authorities.

Unfortunately for him, though, the cyanide pill was expired and the river was six inches deep so the police just pulled him out and took him off to jail. All the other assassins kinda just gave up and wandered off. One of the assassins, Gavrilo Princip, was like “well screw this, i’m hungry” so he left to get a sandwich.

He was in the middle of ordering said sandwich when he heard the sound of a car stalling behind him. Turns out the Ferdinand’s drivers had gotten messed up by the crowds and accidentally took a wrong turn and then stalled RIGHT NEXT TO PRINCIP. So of course Princip was like “what a crazy random happenstance” and shot them both and started world war one.

So yeah, that’s my favorite assassination story because it’s great.

BUT DID HE GET HIS SANDWICH

(To answer your question, probably not, because he was quickly apprehended and died of tuberculosis in prison a couple months later…)

BRINGING THIS BACK BECAUSE GUESS WHO WAS ASSASSINATED 101 YEARS AGO TODAY

[saradrawings]

I saw that same show with the sandwich and it made our class laugh because the narrator says it really intensely

Then I asked on Yahoo! Answers what type of sandwich it was and got told I was being insensitive to all the people who'd died in World War One

Cop shootings by race/per million: 1.47 white people vs 31.17 black people. And people really want to believe that the outrage is simply over one murdered black teenager.

[upallnightogetloki]

For anyone wondering how many people that amounts to, the current US population is at 316 million people. So- rounded to the nearest whole number, cops shot 465 white teens & young adults vs. 9850 black teens & young adults in a 3 year period (2010-2012).

[kyriarchy]

in other words, black teens age 15-19 are 21 times more likely to be shot by police than whites are.

[rakesandhoes]

I almost want to read this just so I can find out what time period it’s supposed to be in.

John kept his time-traveling machine in the basement behind a false wall. After the terrible Automan War of 2137, he’d decided to take up a new life in the past. A simple life, with a pleasant wife and a couple of children. He’d purchased a few sets of shirts and pants from the “Olde Tyme Clothing” bin at his local consignment shop, packed his bags, and said goodbye to the smog-filled city of Nuevo York.

‘Jane’ had had enough of Prexil-Q-245. She’d hijacked a ship, set a course for a random, terraformed planet and grimly hoped the population had yet to invent direct-to-conscious-advertisement-streaming. She’d hid her ship in an abandoned barn in the woods.

Against all odds, John and ‘Jane’ found each other during America’s Colonial years. It was love at first sight. The locals thought the two perfect for each other, with their strange manner of dressing and odd colloquialisms. The years went by and saw the birth of two children. John began to feel the pressure of his deepest secret, torn between wanting to tell his wife and keeping the peace. But his growing silence and brooding led ‘Jane’ to become more agitated herself. The once-joyful relationship started to fray and tempers were running high. Then one day little Tommy went to the basement in search of more jam for his morning toast and discovered a hidden button…

Would the truth heal… or divide them?

[saradrawings]

I'm just assuming that's not the real synopsis, but can someone please write that book because I would love to read that.
