Welcome spring with a Jade Harley inspired candle!

Smells like fresh tomato leaves, turned earth, light musk, and melting snow.

diet culture people make me feel like i’m going crazy. you want me to take an experimental pill that destroys my appetite?? you want me to remove part of my stomach??? you want me to stop eating bread and rice, two of the staple foods most inherent to humanity????? why exactly? because my stomach is big? because you don’t like the way i look, and you think it’s reasonable to tell me to carve pieces off of myself and try random drugs and ruin my own life so i can look more visually pleasing to you? and you somehow don’t see how absurdly cruel and selfish that is to ask of somebody???? while pretending you care about their HEALTH????????????????? FUCK YOU!!!!

I’m in love with this sentence:

Miserable people just want to make you as miserable as they are.

I don't love that every time a famous artist turns out to be a fucking disgusting piece of trash loser evil shitstain that everyone always scrambles to say WELL THEIR ART WAS ALWAYS MID AND BAD ANYWAY. like dude just reckon with the fact you can't judge someone's moral fiber based on the art they make or the clothes they wear or the way they speak or fucking anything anything at all

[d3viantvanguard]

doing my part to break this trend: i genuinely really liked lostprophets' music before it came out that the lead singer was a child predator, and i also still enjoy some kevin spacey acting roles like 'the negotiator' and 'outbreak'.

cognitive dissonance and discomfort intolerance are hard to cope with, believe me i know, but holding opposing viewpoints (e.g. "this person has caused harm to some people" and "this person has brought joy to other people") and finding nuance in the space between is an important skill to practice.

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

"This song slaps, but now that I know it's made by such a horrible person it gives me the ick and I don't want to hear it any more" is a perfectly legitimate stance. "This art is good but I don't want to partake in it because that will ultimately support artists who are using that money and support to make the world worse" is also a legitimate stance. "I liked this, but the author being so gross means I can't enjoy it any more and also the fandom has become a political nucleus for bigots so I'm excising it from my life" is another perfectly legitimate stance. You can choose to disengage with art for whatever reason you want, personal or political, it just. Doesn't mean that the quality of the art was always bad As Us Good People Knew (or should have known) because Good People make Good Art and Bad People make Bad Art.

Even if you genuinely did always dislike it, it's not the time to be showboating about your discerning taste. It doesn't mean you had some unique insight into what a bad person the creator was. It just means you didn't like it.

[dykepuffs]

Also if you do think like this, be cautious because... Do you think that people who make bad/shallow/unoriginal/squicky art are more likely to be secretly predatory, and are you prejudging people who make ugly art as bad people?

and this is why we don't have online sharing LMFAAAOOOOOO

I don't think this ought to be a "hot take" or a "big request" or an "unusual standard"..?

But could we tag homestuck separately from the post-canon content?

Like, I get it, if your drawing contains a bit of each, or there's a compilation of characters, or if you're talking about both in one post that makes sence to tag both. But if you're just talking about/drawing the new fanspecies or new panels or whatever, that has a tag. It is a different tag. You can use that tag.

[storysetter]

A majority of responses to this is just "filter that tag then??" as if (1) I have not already been doing that and (2) others are actually using the tag system in such a way (dare I say, properly) that this is effective.

Yes it catches some posts.

No it does not catch them all.

Why do you think I would say something otherwise?
