Visit someone in the hospital.

Even if they're expected to make it.

Otherwise you'll spend years regretting it when they don't.

Ahhha! my latest public painting is complete! My most ambitious piece of 2025, a painting of Gyarados as I always imagined it to be, massive and downright terrifying.

It's a WIP so I'm keeping it on this blog and not the art blog, but I'm trying portrait oil painting. And I think it's a good start.

Just gotta do a couple color passes

i saw some comments on tiktok where people were talking bout how they found tumblr too hard to use and part of it being that there was no lack of dates so “what if you reblog or like something from five years ago?!” 

buddy… we have posts circulating still from 2011, its literally just how it is

Being on tumblr for years like:

this post is 2 years old and it’s only going to get funnier as it gets older

[spacegothprincess]

Hi I just wanted to share my look tonight that is all carry on.

the road OUT of hell is also paved with good intentions. That’s just kind of the main road we’ve got

New Art (kinda)

I'm sharing a newly finished piece, but it's actually a repaint in oils of a piece I made years ago digitally. I wanted to practice painting on gessoboard, so I figured the easiest thing would be to repaint one of my oldest pieces and use the new medium to practice technique and not form.

suffice it to say, I'm really pleased with the results, and I think this version is so much better than the original. It has more... grit and texture.

I painted a mango! And it's not half bad!

A new painting! I am so happy with how this looks, a little slice of a fantasy painting.

Sharing original art is scary, but here we go!

Its nice to be corporeal by which i mean having a physical form with which to interact with the world around you but i will not lie to you there are problems associated

[pitlanewrites]

since usamericans take up a large portion of the english-speaking internet when their elections happen, i think it’s only fair that i can put out a reminder to all kiwis out there to vote in our local body elections that are happening now until the 11th of october!! exercise your right to democracy!!!

this sentence came so far out of left field i reflexively closed the tab and had to open it up again to take this screenshot. i mean like yes its true that mushrooms are not plants but ive literally never ever ever ever met or even heard of anyone anywhere at any time who has used this definition of a plant-based diet

[curseworm]

im left with so many questions. does she not use yeast? if her definition of “plant based diet” is so literal that it doesnt include mushrooms, does it also not include salt? does she not eat fermented food because bacteria arent plants? why does she not eat fungi? clearly its not an issue of taste, she praises the taste here. does she think theyre unhealthy somehow? does she have moral objections to eating fungus? i would like to interview her

[spacegothprincess]

At some point I just get tired of screaming at the top of my lungs.

Sometimes you gotta stop worrying about being the smartest and funniest person in the room and just enjoy being in a room with smart and funny people

[lakemojave]

I really implore y'all to stop letting the need to prove yourself get in the way of just enjoying life and the people you share it with. I'm using the word "implore" so y'all know I'm serious about it, btw

[lakemojave]

This must resonate so much cause like. Either we all need to hear this or we know somebody who really does

watched the truman show for the first time yesterday >>

We've been losing power due to winter storms lately so my partner 3D printed me a tealight "to fill in for tumblr when you're offline"

anyway this should be official merch imo

[kedreeva]

If you're wondering why I will not leave this site and why I love it so much: after this went around, I got a message from Tumblr asking if they could make it official merch and then they did. I said go for it, and donated the .stl file because I want to help the site stay afloat. It went live yesterday I think, and it's even prettier and better than this original design (they definitely put work into it which was very exciting).

But I want to say something else. They asked for suggestions on where to get these made, and I gave them the names of a few mass production companies, but I also gave them the name of my small local guys. I didn't expect them to go there, it's probably more expensive to use a smaller local shop, but I know it would mean more to them. And I was immediately told they'd check in with them, and then that's just what happened.

They went with my little guys.

So if you're wondering about the price, it's because Tumblr staff just... Listened and cared. They listened to the people who said they wanted one of these, and then they not only asked me but listened to the answer when I suggested supporting a business local to me. That's invaluable to me.

Also it's important to me that you know this comes apart so you can use just the dumpster to put things in. My prototypes are full of jellybeans.
