last year of artfight pissed me off

i hate it when i cant even write a poem about something because its too obvious. like in the airbnb i was at i guess it used to be a kids room cause you could see the imprint of one little glow in the dark star that had been missed and painted over in landlord white. like that's a poem already what's the point

before june ended i wanted to also say:

happy tenth birthday to dirty paws!

it may be kinda cringe now but it always makes me happy to know it made an impact with many people over the years so🥺

Okay I JUST realized I never posted these on here—- BUT BASICALLY, about a year and a half ago I started doing these experimental black hairstyle posts that were threads long on Twitter, to give artists a source of inspo for their black ocs whose hair they wanted to try something new with! There’s more to black hair than just the selected styles portrayed in media, and I thought it would be fun to show people how much texture, shape, fades, length, and style can be combined when drawing black hair—-cause it’s a kind of manipulation our hair can do irl! The OG posts were lost with the hacking of my original Twitter account (@/bagels_donuts) but I’ve since reuploaded the whole thread to my new Twitter (@/ItsDonutsFR)! I hope artists on tumblr find these useful, sorry it took me so long to post them here😭🙏🏾 I’ll upload them all in parts!

Part 1: Long masc hairstyles + playing with fades

Part 2: shape, style, and length with femme styles!

last thing, it's really telling other websites have more Juneteenth stuff upfront but it's barren on Tumblr, not even trending.

whitest website known to man, it's why I create black centered art as a black creator on here because it's ridiculous how this site tries to be mega queer woke epic edgy anarchist commie heaven but absolutely refuse to acknowledge the existence of black people or dismantle their own internalized antiblackness.

I still love being black tho, nothing can take that away.

It's Springtime!

Please bloom!

[inkcritters]

oh julie’s gonna kill that flower. she’s gonna rip it from the ground or smother it for not being able to understand it or why it doesn’t bloom. and it’s gonna be the most horrifying things she’s ever done in her life.

Okay so me and a bunch of my mutuals were discussing the achilles and patroclus arcana cards and I pointed out that pat’s card has two stars in the corner. I was like “haha what if that represented patrochilles” fully thinking I was making shit up

BUT THEN!!! One of my mutuals pointed out that achilles’ card has ONE star. Specifically in the scene where he crashes out after pat’s death. There’s only one star because only one of them is left alive

So how are we feeling Julie nation (wip)

[inkcritters]

No one is talking about this

I don't see anyone talking about how Jonesy says that Rainbow Monsters stick to 1 color. All Julie's siblings do this.

But Julie DOESN'T stick to 1 color. While her siblings stick mostly 1 color besides accent colors. Julie is completely different. She is much more colorful than her siblings

“the average rhino beetle can lift up to 850x its weight” factoid is actually just a statistical error. Average rhino beetle can only lift from 30-100x its weight. The Strongest Rhino Beetle from Australian article who can lift 850x its weight is an outlier adn shouldn’t have been counted
