BEEN A WHILE
HI it’s me, a long lost once-blogger that used to post art, sorry for being inactive (i’ve enjoyed it)
please don’t go through my art tag cause dam that shite old and otherwise you all probably know well that i don’t post here anymore (moving on from tumblr has been one of the best decisions of my life)
tutorial
question: how do i make my photograph more tumblr relatable?
Simple:
filter
lowercase helvetica
for extra points: add japanese text
I’m taking notes
wrong you do this
this site drifts further and further away from comprehensible humor every day

Scallops Have Eyes
“scallops have eyes” fig. 1: IT’S THOSE BLUE THINGS
“scallops have eyes” fig. 2: THEY LOOK LIKE GOOGLY EYES WHEN YOU ZOOM IN! PLEASE NOTE THE TINY FLESH EYELASHES!
EVERY SCALLOP HAS TEN TO ONE HUNDRED OF THESE! ENJOY!
Note that eyes are pretty closely tied to mobility - other bivalves don’t have eyes because they don’t move anyway, and may at most have simple eyespots so they know when it’s daylight or can detect the shadow of a passing fish.
When you startle a scallop, however, this happens:
yes, like on spongebob

Video games don’t have to have good graphics to be good:
Video games don’t have to be about combat to be good:
Video games don’t have to be linear to envelop players in their worlds:
Video game bosses don’t have to be difficult to be fun:
Video games don’t have to lack color simply because they are “post-apocalyptic”:
Video games can have lighthearted art design and still carry deeply dark themes:
Rethink video games.
But also don’t think that dark games can’t be beautiful in their own way:
Or that difficult bosses can’t be fun:
Don’t that games with combat in them can’t be light hearted:
Or that violent games can’t also be silly:
Don’t think that playing the game competitively ruins the fun:
Or that dreary, colourless, post apocalyptic games hold any less story value:
Just because a game or playstyle isn’t good, or beautiful to you, doesn’t mean its any less valuable to someone else who does appreciate it. At the end of the day, it makes someone happy, and thats the greatest value of any art form.
Oh, hey! This is the best addition to my post after 100k notes! <3
Things just transpired in my house hold that are equal parts offensive and hilarious… Here goes.
So my roommate, Dale, has a gf who does not live with us, but she’s here all the time. So Sunday when my gf was her we were on the couch and we kissed (scandalous, I know) and she saw it, and I’m pretty sure that’s the first time she’s seen us be affectionate, that’s neither here nor there.
So today she tells Dale she’s “uncomfortable” here and wants him to move out because she thinks me and my lady are going to hit on her or something, she doesn’t like living with lesbians, cause it’s not “normal”, so now I’m pissed. Then, Dale goes, “well you don’t live here, so it shouldn’t be a problem, just stop coming over”…things escalated and Dale is trying to break up with her, but she won’t leave our house….she locked herself in Dales room.
So, Dale barges in my room wearing a bathrobe and goes, “call every lesbian you know, we’re smoking this bitch out!” Then turns around and whips his robe like a cape…
And that’s the story of how there are 8 lesbians climbing through the window of Dales room…
Holy shit.
This is glorious
I like Dale. He’d break up with a bigoted girlfriend and he wears bathrobes like a cape. Not everyone would wear a bathrobe like a cape.
“We’re smoking this bitch out” 😎
:V :V :V
Reminder to Artists!
Add your tumblr page, product listing, or website as the content source for each work you upload. Doing so guarantees that you’ll be visibly credited even if some asshat removes your comments or you don’t feel like adding a comment.
How do I go about doing this? Just tagging it as the content source? I’ve been on tumblr for like a year and a half and I still don’t know how to do a lot on here ;p
I’m glad you asked! I’m sure a lot of people are wondering the same thing.
Let’s use my recent jigglypuff piece as an example
For an older piece, go to the original post and click edit in the upper right-hand corner:
After doing so (or while posting originally) you’ll reach this screen:
From here, click on the cog in the upper, right-hand corner:
You’ll see a bunch of fields you can enter information into, but you’ll want to pay attention to the “content source” field:
The rest is pretty simple:
Just enter in your Tumblr/website URL. (Note: You should also use this to source anything you pull from other sites, e.g., YouTube.) After you click “save” (or post, queue, etc.) at the bottom, left-hand corner of the editing box, only you will have the ability to change the source, unless someone’s doing something illegal.
The result is having your Tumblr/website URL sourced even if someone deletes your comments and you choose not to report them. I’ve seen far too many non-sourced posts without any comments circulating on the site, and I refuse to reblog 95% of them out of fear that they’re stolen works. So, please, if you don’t use this information for your own good, use it for the sake of people like me who really want to love and spread your work but don’t wish to reblog possibly stolen works.
Them: Oh you don’t want this cat. He’s wild and he bites everyone and he’ll never just sit nicely in your lap. He’s a project cat.
Me: That’s okay, I’m a project person.
Two weeks later:
He won’t leave.
@donskoi
Tell us your secret oh great kitty whisperer.
Step one: let him hide or shy away from you if he wants to. He wouldn’t let me touch him for a couple days after we got back from the shelter. It was more important that he felt comfortable than that I touched him.
Step two: make yourself nonthreatening. In my case this meant being very quiet, bringing food and lying down on the ground within his eyesight as an invitation to investigate.
Step three: watch his body language and don’t do things that make him uncomfortable. Turns out my cat often bit when he was overstimulated so I made sure not to overwhelm him.
Step four: draw lines, but not with brute force. Even though his biting wasn’t meant to hurt, it was eventuallto be harmful. So I decided when he bit me, I’d yelp “ow!” And then withdrew all physical contact for a few minutes, sometimes leaving the room.
Step four: provide a good outlet for destructive behaviors. Aka PLAY WITH HIM, SEVERAL TIMES A DAY.
Step four: be patient.
Step five: get lucky and somehow pick up the best cat in the entire shelter. I don’t know how it happened but he’s a godsend. He’s literally cuddled me out of a panic attack. We both really needed each other.
I can 100% vouch for Lying On The Floor as a great way to get a nervous cat to come over to you. Just lie on the floor and do not move. Often, their curiosity will win out over their fear once you are no longer looming over them. I first tried this when I was a teenager briefly staying at a motel that had an abundance of feral cats roaming the grounds. I was told they did not allow humans to approach them, and sure enough, they ran and hid when I came near. I tried just lying very still on the ground and within about 10 minutes there were kittens SWARMING around me. (And a couple mama cats hovering nearby keeping an eye on things.) It was an Experience. So many kittens.
Damn
WATCH AND REBLOG THIS VIDEO. PLEASE
Yaaaaaassssssss my fucking lorddddd they switched the audio and image!!

i’m loving all this violent response to nazis stuff that’s going around but i also want to say like be careful out there because not all nazis are fucking clowns like richard spencer. most of em carry weapons and will not hesitate to cut your ass up and leave you dying in a dumpster. if you don’t know how to fight, don’t take one on without backup. and even if you do know how to fight, watch yourself. i don’t want to see any of you getting killed
Irl these are the same ‘people’ who put up their shitty swastika stickers around towns and hide poisoned razor blades behind them so people cut themselves and get sick if they try to peel it off with their hands so don’t like underestimate what those animals are capable and what they’d be willing to do to you.
I think the worst thing that fandom culture and the increasing acknowledgement of fandom culture from creators has wrought is this
incredible amount of entitlement that people in said fandoms get like
just because creators know something is a thing in a fandom doesn’t mean they have to do it or else they hate their fans. It’s a consistent thing I’m seeing more and more in fandoms and it’s getting worse. Like all the steven universe garbage that’s happened over that show’s run and now overwatch like
people are wishing other people dead because a robot ninja and an angel woman are dating. and there are people who are legit horrified at the sheer concept of characters being straight and I’m just sat here wondering how they can possibly tolerate real life.
the fact that people get so entrenched in what they perceive as author approval when their ships and headcanons aren’t immediately shut down, despite said author interacting with the fanbase, that their mental health deteriorates when something contradictory is even hinted at is just sickening like
I just went on twitter and saw people legitimately wanting to kill a man on the overwatch team because of gency and like
its. not. yours.
you do not own overwatch. you do not own steven universe. you do not own anything you’re fandoming so hard over. rebecca sugar could tomorrow have pearl confess her love to renaldo and the overwatch team could make torbjornXpharah and both of them would be canon because it’s THEIR CREATION AND THEY DECIDE WHAT HAPPENS.
THEY get to decide what to do with it. Not you. It is NOT YOURS.
I absolutely think fandom/tumblr culture has led to more death threats and harassment than any other thing on the internet and I think if creators want to avoid it, the best way is to just stop acknowledging the fandoms. Because they’ll twist whatever they can get their filthy hands on so they can shit on other people and never feel remorse or grow as people because they’re doing it to be “progressive”
This. I’d also add that there’s a lot of “consumer entitlement” going on right now. Just because you bought a game, or a book, or a Blu-ray, or an album, doesn’t mean the creator of the content now OWES you. We’re happy for the support so we can continue creating art – but it will still be OUR art, and we’ll make it how we feel it should made.
And just to be clear, it’s absolutely ok to not like a creator’s decision. And to be open about your dislike of said decision. Just keep in mind that the creator’s preference DOES matter more than yours when it comes to their OWN DAMN WORK.
‘cause I’ve seen people take the ‘stop being entitled pricks’ thing too far and act like the creator’s choice is Sacred And Perfect and Beyond Criticism and disliking whatever happened is a bloody crime.
There is a middle ground. There is such a thing as ‘disliking something but accepting that it won’t cater to your whims.’
Agreed
