where am i? - epilogue

i think i know how to tumblr now. i'm still quite eternally lost. but i do funny draws and music, so... that's something!

[sphxremint]

(man. this art is really old but im usin it anyway. lol)

☆ heya heya! it's me, Mint!

i do funny draws and music (and sometimes edits).

some of you have definitely heard that line way too many times before. some of you also probably still know me as the "Simple Yet Stupid" guy from like 2023.

if you haven't seen me before... congratulations! you've successfully met "that guy" (aka. me) for the first time!

This is my tumblr blog. I say things and reblog stuff I think is neat and post art/music or stuff I like once every [unspecified time frame]. I'm a lot less active on medias in general, but I like to pop by here now and then. now you're here and reading my cool and awesome pinned post!

☆ cool stuff you should know

21 years olde (July 4th, aka. Mint Day. not "Independence Day". eugh)

he/they, aroace queerplatonic enby (shoutouts to plate platonics)

black (there's like no way to make this funnier. it just is what it is)

☆ some other neat stuff

I draw! i'm not consistent with it at all, but I'm trying. it's fun and I like doing it. I may be into a lot of medias, but I'm mostly an oc artist, a curse I will bear until the end of time

I make music! i'm also not consistent with it. i talk about it a tad less than other things, so it goes under the radar sometimes. i think it's fun, too. and i'll get annoying about it at least once.

CST moment! ... which is about UTC -05:00. in case you need to know that. i know we all got varied timezones around here and active hours vary quite a bit

I'm very good at being inconsistent! at what, exactly? a lot of things! like basic punctuation and grammar. if you haven't noticed yet. like that stuff is important... sometimes i'll actually use apostrophes and sometimes ill just completely forget mid-sentence. lmao

☆ my 5 core interests

aka. the main things i like! it's been several years and they still haven't left my thoughts. i switch between the five of these on a whim. you can inquire me about any of them. Be ready when it happens.

Sonic The Hedgehog (he's just THAT GUY, yknow. just a guy who loves adventure. but i, personally, am quite obsessed with ultimate life forms and two-tailed foxes and whatnot)

Kirby (dude i'd literally forfeit everything for him. he's such a silly. actually he's my silly. i love them. #1 blorbo living life)

FINAL FANTASY (especially XIII (13) and XIV (14). but it's mostly XIV. my two lalafells who reunite after being apart for forever become the world's strongest duo. partners in crime)

Celeste (#1 game ever. i love everything about it so much. i'm good at getting my friends to play it. i'm also just pretty good at the game. maybe grandmaster levels of good. smile)

and object shows! (not into the fandom "like that", though. just a guy on the surface layer. big fan of bfdi, ii, boto, ppt2... and my own stupid objects, of course. 2763 rewatches and counting)

☆ cool and awesome tags

□ #mint.txt some random text i spat out one night

□ #mint.png funny image included (not guaranteed)

□ #mintdraws i sure do! and you should go look at it!

□ #mint.mp3 i sure... am! and you should go listen to it!

□ #mint.ask i do get those. sometimes art, sometimes shenanigans

□ #simple yet stupid for those twelve funny objects i talk about. kinda the highlight of my blog

□ #mint's expoboard i'm probably talking about my ocs. dunno which ones or what

☆ some extra stuff i guess

□ my swag and awesome site go check it out! it's my own corner of the internet! stop by and say hi! do whatevs honestly i won't mind...

□ my sonas and stuff y'know if you need that for some reason

□ my toyhou.se because I never shut up about my characters. and sometimes people just need the Repository of Information... so here it is.

(that was probably like a read and a half. oops)

I'll update this post more as time goes on. you'll know cause i usually reblog it when I do.

just know... if you do follow me, you are (unofficially) officially consigning yourself to my presence. this includes any stupidity and/or brainrot that follows. if that's cool with you. =ᴗ=)b

(big shoutouts to the old pinned i had. you will forever be missed)

Boo hoo i'll be able to add more physical storage to my phone and be able to change out batteries if they degrade as well as all these other optional features I won't have to touch

Continuing in the trend of political cartoons depicting milquetoast moderate positions seem so much cooler and more badass than they are

[domina-honoribila]

I love how they add totally absurd things no one is asking for to make the idea look crazy. And still, I must emphasize, failing to make this look like a bad idea.

do not forget the patron saint of these weeks that we celebrate ourselves proudly and openly in the streets

her name was Marsha P Johnson, and we have her to thank for so much.

remember, the first Pride was a riot, and she was one of the brave souls who endured it to help carve the path which so many of us walk today. she helped found several activist groups regarding LGBT safety and wellbeing. and she was absolutely radiant, too.

thank you, Marsha. we remember you.

Once when I was in undergrad, someone described something as “problematic” in class and our professor was like, “That’s cool, but ‘problematic’ doesn’t really mean anything. It means that the thing you’re describing has a problem, and in and of itself that’s not bad. Art, especially, should always have problems, or else it’s not interesting and not art, either. It sounds like you’re trying to say that this is bad, but you don’t want to say ‘bad.’ Is that right?”

So from then on whenever one of us called something problematic, he would make us talk it out until we could name the “bad” thing we were hinting at. In this particular class, 7/10 it was some type of oppression, and the remainder was like, “I’m uncomfortable because this is very new/confusing/pushing boundaries that made me feel safe.”

Once we stopped calling things “problematic” and stopping at that, class got way more interesting and... we all had to say, like, “that’s racist” or “that’s misogynistic” or “ew capitalism gross” out loud, which a lot of us had never done in a classroom before. Or we had to be like, “Uhhh... I’m not sure what’s so bad?” and confront our own beliefs and that was maybe even more useful.

Anyway. Whenever I see the word problematic, I can’t help but think of this professor being like, “Good starting point, now let’s get specific.” I think when we have to commit to saying “that’s ___” it requires a lot more careful thought about the truth and impact and complexities of whatever we’re claiming. Sometimes there really is some bullshit afoot, and also sometimes it’s art, and it should be full of problems, because that’s what art is.

You ever think about how old people have no idea what “survivor bias” is, and take full credit for being excellent out of things where they lucked out?

“Back in my day we didn’t have any of these childhood protective things, we were smart enough not to do stupid shit on our own!” Except your little neighbour, who got the funniest idea at the age of seven, and got his skull pierced when he slipped?

“Back in my day nobody got divorced, we stuck together and fixed our problems!” What about your cousin, who was slowly killed by her husband because she had nowhere to escape him?

“Back in my day nobody had ‘mental problems’, we didn’t whine, we just toughed it out and endured life!” Hey remember that guy you used to work with, who seemed really friendly and normal, and then suddenly hanged himself ‘for no reason’?

“Back in my day we didn’t have any of this ‘gay’ or ‘transgender’ thing.” You did, but your family cut all ties with her before you were born.

 You kinda start seeing it in everything they think, if you start looking for it.

“When we were kids nobody whined about car seats or bike helmets. We didn’t use them, and we all survived!”

Yeah, except for the ones who didn’t.

remember that pride is still a protest

[zangoonse]

a party of adventurers that are all equally convinced that they are in completely different forms of media

[zangoonse]

the mage keeps giving smug glances in the direction they assume a camera is in. the fighter keeps getting indignant about missing attacks because of "bad dice rolls." the rogue is doubtful that a villain is gone for good because "nobody ever stays dead in comics." the paladin attributes fortune to "good rng." none of them have even considered that "tumblr post" was an option
