[adu101]

I can’t believe my most popular post is this

[seaofdreams-moved]

I wonder who has the sculpture in their house?

[adu101]

Tv magic means…they never bought it and thank god they didn’t because that thing was overpriced

[seaofdreams-moved]

Oh good. tbh I thought the thing was kind of ugly anyway ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[emmi-kat]

But the thing exists…and someone else might have it and not even know how important the ugly little thing is to us.

Oh, God. I barely touch Tumblr anymore, and just... WHY GUYS?!

[shillelaghthegreat]

I know I mostly browse and almost never post anymore, but... is... is that Rachel Ray?

[emmi-kat]

What if Captain Albert Alexander was rescued by a mermaid when his ship sank and Mr. Pescado is their son?

[snartl-deactivated20220403]

…how OLD is mr pescado then????

[antrapta-deactivated20200517]

Immortal. Mr Pescado exists outside of time. He is ageless.

[catgirlzoe-deactivated20200908]

Captain Albert Alexander was around in like the 1700s, and died around 40. Let’s say he had Mr Pescado at 50, in 1780 lets say. That makes Mr Pescao 240 years old!

[emmi-kat]

There’s a variable for mermaid magic so Cap could have lived much longer (he may even still be alive today…)

That leaves a range for Mr. Pescado’s age to be anywhere from 1 (we don’t know how fish people age) to 240!

[shillelaghthegreat]

I BARELY TOUCH TUMBLR ANYMORE AND COME BACK TO THIS. WHAT HAVE YOU GUYS EVEN BEEN DOING I CAN'T LEAVE YOU ALONE FOR FIVE MINUTES (OR MONTHS!) CAN I?!

HEY ARTISTS!

Do you design a lot of characters living in not-modern eras and you’re tired of combing through google for the perfect outfit references? Well I got good news for you kiddo, this website has you covered! Originally @modmad made a post about it, but her link stopped working and I managed to fix it, so here’s a new post. Basically, this is a costume rental website for plays and stage shows and what not, they have outfits for several different decades from medieval to the 1980s. LOOK AT THIS SELECTION:

OPEN ANY CATEGORY AND OH LORDY–

There’s a lot of really specific stuff in here, I design a lot of 1930s characters for my ask blog and with more chapters on the way for the game it belongs to I’m gonna be designing more, and this website is going to be an invaluable reference. I hope this can be useful to my other fellow artists as well! :)

Did you find this helpful? If you’re able, maybe buy me a coffee please? :D

[nerdtlelovesart]

Hey Steam Powered Giraffe Fans!!!!

I want to pick your brains about something: Who else is thinking of The Spine in a white and black tux, I also picture him in a red and white tux for Christmas

Tell me if I’m not the only one who has thought of this, comment below what U picture SPG wearing??

[shillelaghthegreat]

Ugly Christmas sweaters. Every one of them. All of them trying to out-ugly everyone else's sweater.

[goddamnshinyrock]

oh god what is going on now

[goddamnshinyrock]

guys calm down, you can still draw fictional people naked

#just not fucking.#I can live with that.#honestly this is slightly irritating but not ‘THE SKY IS FALLING’

Yyyyyeah except they’ve already:

purged the ‘chronic pain’ tag

purged the ‘top surgery’ tag

made ‘trans’ tag inaccessible to non-functional

deleted a bunch of chronic illness blogs

deleted a bunch of chronic pain and chronic illness posts from blogs they’ve left (like mine)

This isn’t just about ‘oh no you can’t look at people fucking anymore’ (even though lots of sex workers are losing their means of supporting themselves). This goes a lot further, with a lot more chilling effects. 

The sexualizing of things like ‘top surgery’ or declaring all ‘trans’ tagged things to be … sexual… is really, REALLY fucked up. Never mind the fact that ‘chronic pain’ had NOTHING to do with sexiness, and we’ve been given no explanation as to why disabled people were considered acceptable collateral damage.

[vaspider]

ALSO I had a post flagged earlier today for a cartoon picture of Mario in a bathing suit. Mario, from Super Mario Brothers. 

Someone else reported a picture of a cartoon scorpion with a hard hat on being flagged as pornography. Tagging things as ‘queer’ or ‘gay’ gets them flagged NSFW. (Hey, guess what I’d been tagging my t-shirts, because they’re pride stuff? Oh right. Queer. Gay. Pride.)

This is a fucking problem, let’s not blow it off.

[thebibliosphere]

I know some people are too young (or simply weren’t involved in fandom back then) to remember what went down with livejournal and a couple of other sites “back in the day”, but it all started out as “it’s okay, we’re just removing the nasty porn”, and then “okay well, just make sure you put your porn behind a cut, no, wait jk you need to host it externally, a link is fine, maybe” and pretty much devolved swiftly into “actually sweety, LGBT content is inherently NSFW by default because it might make the kiddies gay if we expose them to it, so y’all need to leave now byyyeeee”.

Like…that happened. And it took nearly a decade for the fandom spaces to recover and stabilize and to get to the point where LGBT content creators could host their content without being told “you’re not welcome here” and I’m just sitting here, watching as youtube demonetizes LGBT content creators, and Facebook flags up LGBT ads as “inappropriate” and now tumblr is going through the queer and gay tags and just mass blanketing it as inappropriate, while actual pornbots and nazis wind up in my recommended feed.

Like I am uncomfortable y’all. I am looking around at everything I’ve built and all the friends I’ve made and I know we’re all looking for the next safe space to jump to while hoping we don’t lose each other overnight like “the olden days” where you’d wake up and your fave blogger was just gone.

And usually it was because they’d drawn or written something as simple yet explicit as a kiss. It was just the wrong kind of kiss.

So yea, the sky is not falling, but the ice under our feet sure is making worrying sounds.

[weavethewild-deactivated2022060]

The entirety of the chronic pain tag is gone.

Why

[corrathecat]

any of yall who agree with the nsfw ban keep in mind: they aren’t doing it to keep the minors safe or to get rid of pedophiles. they’re doing it because they wanna be back on the app store. they give less than a shit about their userbase and dont think for even one second that there are good intentions behind this ban

You kiddos have no idea how groundbreaking this was. Like there’s a reason THE lesbian website for a billion years was called After Ellen. She changed everything.

[aleph-none]

oh man you know that feeling that’s like kind of an ache right between your heart and your stomach? like nostalgic knowing of pain? that’s how the scared look in Ellen’s eyes makes me feel.  

[auntiewanda]

Look at her hand too and how nervous she is. Every gay and lesbian person knows this feeling, because we know there are assumptions and consequences and there’s no telling how someone will react.

[gayheretic-deactivated20190804]

And let no one forget that she suffered consequences for this. It wasn’t just a moment of cathartic unburdening and then business as usual.

[auntiewanda]

Right, she lost her first TV show. She worked hard to get up to where she is today.

[pillowprincesslexa]

Ellen lost her TV show and didn’t get offered another job for the next 3 years. All while facing harsh critic from most of the world. Not to mention that Oprah, who immediately said yes to playing her therapist in this episode, got her own fair share of disrespectful and mostly racist comments. All over this one episode on a sitcom. Correct me if I’m wrong but I believe that over 40 million people watched this episode to see the first openly gay character on television.

This is history and it better fucking be in the history books for next generations.
