also just something i think more people should be conscientious about on here: there are certain people who have gained a following making their entire blogs about saving and reposting other people’s art, gifs, analyses, etc without credit or acknowledgement. it’s usually very easy to tell whether someone is posting their own work or not. i strongly encourage everyone to stop supporting that kind of behavior and stop engaging with clearly plagiarized posts. just a little critical thinking before hitting like/reblog is not too much to ask i think

The rise of "let people enjoy things" is single handedly the backbone of the rise of anti intellectualism
#i need to talk about this#disclaimer : im beyond terrible at putting my point across#so with that being said let me attempt at it#let's take look at the hate and misogyny women receive for liking a certain genre of books#that is so often simply countered with let people enjoy things#but we cannot let that narrative take over a whole as if critical thinking is “bad”?#booktok has made it so that disliking a popular books makes you the person with the superiority complex who should just let people enjoy-#-things#but when did criticizing actively target audiences who like that peice of literature? When did that become the narrative?#its all mindless consumption without a second thought to the actual material which can easily be credited to the tropification of books#the enemies do turn into lovers and the best friends do fall in love 10 years down the line#classifying books into tropes and then fulfilling that promise gives books an illusion of being “good” since it checks those boxes-#-that the reader picked up the book for in the first place#the act of reading has kind of been substituted by the act of being a reader and just owning stacks of books#we have turned away from any form of analysis or criticism#if it scratches the itch then its automatically the perfect book without further thought#i cant help but contribute the mere existence of that “itch” to how mordern books are classified into tropes with set plotlines#intelligenctualism is almost always looked at as elitism#reading only classics doesn't make you an intellectual individual but looking at any book with a critical lens may it be a classic or a rom#-com does#criticizing certain aspects of your absolute favorite books is intellectualism and not bullying people who like anything but classics#that distinction is so far lost in translation that talking about how a popular book is objectively bad is being a “hater”#well then im a hater#this is not a hate post for people who actively enjoy booktock or the more popular books#im just trying to introduce any amount of nuance into the conversation thats all#i can honestly go on forever but i think ill end my ranting here#literary criticism#literature#books#anti intellectualism

Being in this fandom is less and less fun... Can't people even take their own screenshots anymore? I mean it's just screenshots, I don't put a signature on screenshots but it still takes time to go through a video, find the right moment, capture it, edit the photo and so on. I spent an hour or so last night to capture my favorite moments from the gag reel and someone just took them and reposted them on Instagram.... I know it is JUST screenshots but still... it speaks for this fandom to just take what other people put effort in to get the likes for it. No crediting. Not cool.

I love Origins and find it's incredibly underrated, but the instant you get to Lacey Towers and find out the entire advertising campaign was a lie and Joker was the main villain once again is just

#Doodles#Original#Tala#BunBonBop#Yaaay the Tala in the BBB universe idea finally congealed into a full concept! Love when that happens haha#It's also fun to see two of my cutest lads interact haha ♥#Bun-Bun can be quite courageous if given the right stimuli! I feel like I've only drawn her being silly or weepy the poor lad haha#She's a good lad! Deserves to be shown for all her many facets haha#I don't think I've ever mentioned her actual age - I mentioned she's pre-pubescent but never an actual number#Partially because their brand also obscures their real age lol ♪ All the BBBs are a year apart but their image is ''triplets''#They all Shift to be the same apparent age but they're not! Bunny's the middle child both in her family and among the BBBs haha#She's 12 :) And Tala's 7 so she's intimidated by this large child! Even tho Bun's only a couple inches taller than her#Mostly Tala just doesn't do well with strangers and she's in a new environment without her adult attendent - she's very freaked out#Piggybacking off the previous idea of property/person bodily rights and kidnapping - I think it was just such a mixup that happened here#Bunny especially but all the BBBs like plushies so it's not unusual to occasionally find one sitting around forgotten#Or like cleaning up after a shoot - Tala probably just wandered away for a moment and Shifted into her plush form since she's tiny#Much easier to sneak around! But then froze when another person showed up and got carried inside D: Very scary!#She probably shifted back just in time for Bunny to notice her - taking up the rear of the BBBs going to their next appointment#But also Bunny is rather observant! Definitely more than people give her credit for since she can also be a bit spacy ♥#But she's quite kind and altruistic :) She's a sweet lad! Shifting down to her minimum age (if you recall when Shifting starts presenting!)#Just so she'll look like Tala can help her rather than the other way around ♪ And talking so it's not awkward haha#Oh yeah - last fun fact lol - time Shifters' clothes don't Shift with them so she's swimming in her clothes a little bit lol#The BBBs' clothes are made with Shifting in mind but they do have an upward limit! Or I guess downward limit in this case lol

Hate how i got into the habit of (objectively!) criticising/pointing out flaws with my work to compensate being overpraised as The Gifted Kid TM & how it makes me sound like i'm being self deprecating
#its such a hard habit to get rid of#tbf its true im not the best at taking compliments but mostly im just. allergic to praise i dont deserve and/or that singles me out#and it comes up every now and then w irl ppl how i am supposedly constantly talking myself down#even though among my artist friends i am doing that the least amount!#like. guys. there is a difference between not giving myself credit and acknowledging flaws#bc belive it or not i can do that without feeling shit about myself!#and half the time im not even talking abt myself im talking abt others?#cus i hate when people talk themselves down and i will often chime in to say what i think theyre good at#and bc *they* start comparing themselves to me i will then counter with what they are better at than me#or that yeah maybe xy about mine is better but ive also got a lot more practice#and idk i genuinely dont belive that is being self deprecating???#if anything you acting like im a prodigy or sth is devaluing the time and effort i put in to hone a skill#which btw being able to feel ok about my skillset including the goods and bads is also a skill i had to learn!#idk.#lay rambles#sorry for the rant this is just sth i get frustrated about way too often#this doesnt just apply to art but thats where it comes up the most#actually im not done sorry#this specifically was in the context that we got a project graded and the teacher graded us by comparing projects#(which is questionable in itself but i digress)#& then when it came to me i argued that the person he compared me to deserved a better grade and then listed a bunch of reasons#bc she visibly put in more effort and had included things i hadnt and i thought the grade was unfair#and i never once said i thought mine was bad or didnt deserve the grade! but i know i did not put much effort into it and that this showed#and yes it still turned out visually nice; i got pretty good at getting the most out of the least effort possible#and i acknowledge that this is also a skill!#but also pointing out the very visible differences in quality and effort is not? self deprecating?? or am i missing something???#and then had 4 ppl calling me out later for talking down my own project smh#like guys at this point youre just projecting#ik im grumbling abt this way more than warranted lol but a lil venting never hurts

Let me into your echo chambers. Please.
Introduce me to your friends.
I need out of my echo chamber and so do you.
So don't just like. Share it with your friends.
If you liked it don't you think your mutuals might be interested in it too?
Then take 30 sec to check out the OP's blog and see if they are worth a follow.
Tumbler's UI is shit and I ramble, so I apologize that this will be a scroll.
Tumblr media
==================
I am a rambler when I write. And for a blogging site, Tumblr is pretty shit for blogging. Almost like it was on purpose...
But anyway, since I ramble, I write to help skimming. I highlight important points you might want to pay attention to and then you can go back to read a bit more context on that point.
So don't be intimidated.
I give every art I see at least a like. Maybe a comment. Because I love to see people express themselves and put themselves out there. And I want to encourage you. And maybe interact a bit. And maybe I was high.
And when I write, I tend to ramble. But I promise that my writing and content is worth the effort and time.
But whenever I see something unique or special or meaningful or especially lovely or just plain weird, I hit that share button.
So, follower beware: I reblog a whole lot and it is part of my content. And my created content might take a bit to read.
And it's not that I'm particularly trying to get your attention. I just play around on here when high.
I just think a wider view of the diversity in this world is better for everyone to have. But more importantly I believe it is necessary to hear from the weirdos.
I find weirdos and I amplify them.
Like and subscribe!
Because you fuckers need to meet each other and see each other's shit. Especially the shit that is different.
We need to see the world outside Normies' Big Media Capitalist curated News world.
I love you fuckers. All so unconventional and weird and whatnot. Most of us keep it together in the outside world.
But we have to find the other weirdos to be weird with. Normies are great friends and I love all my lambs, but the weirdos are my people and we can be ourselves together.
There's a lot of normies that try to be weird to build a fun persona and I'm kind of impressed with you. It takes a lot of guts in this society to pick a fun way of living and stick to it against the tide. You do you.
Just like all the other lovely normies out there. They try so hard to find themselves.
It's due to all having shared interests and hobbies. They all have same politics, same worldview, same income, same race, same shared media and experiences, education, upbringing, and desires and cares, wants, and needs. They just need to feel loved. Like us.
Shalom.
But otherwise normies only want comfort and conformity to get acceptance. So they go along with everything,
and only go to water parks, the mall, and DisneyWorld, eat shitty imitation of Popeyes weekly for Jesus's sake, and do all the Applebee restaurants and dabble in exotic local eateries. They watch sports and play golf or bowl or "manly" shit together and talk sports, women, politics, and work. They look for normal jobs and the normal White/cic-masking BIPOC at work or church count for diversity and as their "many" Black "friends." They go to big well funded fancy museums filtered through capitalism and Western academia and that society.
All of it with a fuck ton of asshole Aristocrats and Billionaire meddling,
bankers picking and choosing, America bullshit, Capitalism and grants making us beg like dogs for centrifuge tubes or explain why my research required fucking printer ink while we rely on desperate and idealistic kids to do all the work basically for free.
The normies just go along with it all and live in the normal Aristocratic-lite society, do normal stuff, watch normal media, and love Disney. The normies just eat that Disney shit up.
They go those normal museums for culture. And while they are there, they look at magnificent art, technological achievements, architecture, poetry, and toys with wheels by ancient civilizations that made ours look shitty and all they see is pretty or weird.
I see before me strange weird things someone saw as common place and wonder how they would have regarded it.
I try to do that with weirdos too.
Weirdos show me a whole new world without the Disney bullshit.
While Aristocrats pump us full of Big Media, Disney, Education Systems, fake high society, fake Masters fake educated Geniuses flown to prominence by their privilege, and fake Comedic Geniuses.
(Van Gough & a few Divincci's and Einstein' or Jim Carrey' excluded)
Fake everything. And once in a while a true weirdo leaks out. And once in a while that weirdo shows up in public.
And that wonderful weirdo is seen as freak of nature. Abnormal by the normies narrow Diversity Standards.
Excluding us even more. Driving our personalities under cover just to get a seat at the table or make a good damn friend. I hate those smug fuckers making us act like them just to get a fucking job a "friend" who won't let you be yourself.
Sometimes I hate them. Most of the time I'm just tired of them.
They just are so boring. I'm so lucky to be faculty at a shitty school. It's filled with weirdos.
You fuckers must be drowning in normies
That's what made elementary, middle, and high school so bad. All the conformity. It was an exqisitely painful narrow kind of homogenous environment dominated by the few rich families in the neighborhood who ruled the school dress code. You wore what they were or you were Out. Outtened of interacting with Their society. You talked what they talked. You laughed at their jokes and only told similar kinds. You can't be too different. Just flavorful enough to get noticed if you're brave. You were "goodlooking" like them. White Sons and daughters of modern inbred high society modern day slavers and over titled middle management. All waspy rich brats. With a few diversity hires being "normal" for dear life.
How is your society now? Is it different now? I'd assume there's a definite ruling society. Who runs it? What kind of people have a seat?
Not the weirdos.
Not us.
We're below notice.
Like these words I write on this backwater shitty blog. Which is one of the few places that let us be weird together in long form and media for free.
So I figure a fake name should be enough to keep my Uber White Evangelical well-educated over-paid middle-manager Christo-fascist trustees running my shitty school from ever finding this page. I doubt they'd even thinking of looking here. Not without a Google hit for my Christian name.
So I'm just me here. And most of you are just you here. And that's refreshing.
There's a lot of normies still on here for fun, but bit most were driven away by the shitty UI, search features, lack of toggles and filters, oversaturation of ads and general derision for the user experience to the point that I think they are doing it on purpose.
You know a similar thing happened at another social media that brings truly diverse people together on more egalitarian grounds. Twitter got fucked up like Tumblr. Elon over paid just so he could be the one to destroy our communities.
(and drive the site Upulie loves to play on into the worst possible version of itself and then into a long depressing death spiral.)
This is Capitalism after all. And who controls Capitalism sanctioned social media? "Geniuses" ™️ like Elon Musk. And his tech bro fanboys and billionaires. No Aristocrat or Aristocrat-lite or their sycophant wannabes wants our shit out there in normies Big Media world.
So they drove the normies and play-actor normies and well-connected away. There's no fame or money here. You can't even go viral. There's just other weirdos without connections. And Will Wheaton. Who is also a weirdo.
I love you all just because. But I especially adore you because you are so fucking weird. But you still love others. Mostly. You are my kind of people. You don't fit in society. You beautiful, magnificent bastards.
And it's killing you acting like a fucking normie all day. It's itchy.
When you're stressed it gets impossible to mask and that gets scary.
I'm lucky to be surrounded by such loving weirdos at work. But they aren't weird weird if you get my drift. They are all conventional in most of their education experiences, interests, religion, Big Media consumption, background, White, and mostly men.
And I'm...? I've never fit in with any society.
Never enough to be even exotic normal for them.
And I've been in some weird societies. I'm just able to conform enough to get by with a buddy or two at work and not freak my friends, family, therapist, or the wife out.
I just want to be me. And that's hard when everyone just wants to be boring and do Capitalism bullshit and preferably do it the luxury way.
They just can't accept my personality being uniquely weird. And they will never recognize my uniquely weird genius languishing in this Tumblr prison of an echo chamber.
But if you are still reading, know that I amplify weirdos and important shit.
This might be a fucking tiny echo chamber Tumblr stuck you all in with me. This might be a really tiny sub chamber just for me. Mine is like the same fucking 10 people in my mentions. But I'm starting to leak out a bit.
Thank you for noticing me.
I hope you like my shit, but I don't give a shit if you don't care for it. (I very much do give a shit. Why don't you like me?! )
Anyway I think seeing the world from the non-normies is important. Knowing more foreigners and strangers and poor and lower SES is important to see the whole world. But you are still mostly seeing the Aristocracy's world. But the real world. To know the real world, you need to hear from the weirdos. We live outside the normie world. We see it from the outside looking in. We observe it. And we live a unique experience that gives us a unique world to share with others and a unique take on our shared world.
Knowing more people who live in totally other worlds is a wise thing to do
And you should all be amplifying whatever is weird or beautiful. But also the more unpleasant important things and local news.
Help us see this world.
The world beneath.
To help us see takes that are truly unique and not rehash of corporate plants and cherry picked normie viral sensations.
Giving us unique understandings of this beautiful world, synthesing the experiences of some truly beautiful people in some really weird or unusual, under represented, or shitty circumstances.
Big Message : Learn from each other, enjoy each other, amplify each other to help us escape these echo chambers. And follow me so I can escape with you.

people accusing 9-1-1 of queerbaiting or worse being SCARED of queerbaiting and that being the reason we haven't had a lot of buddie scenes this season is so funny to me cause 9-1-1 has quite literally done everything with buddie except make them be romantically involved, consistently and all throughout the past 5 seasons after eddie joined the show - why would they be scared of queerbaiting NOW

OK GO OFF, GENUINELY STAN TF OUT OF AN ARTIST KNOWING THEIR BOUNDRIESSS. it can take some people a lot time to realize that no, you dont owe anyone anything with ur art. its UR art. youre allowed to make what you like, and NOT MAKE what you do not like. its just-- highkey its honestly refreshing. sorry if this seems dumb or unrelated
HAHA THANKS ♥︎ (and this doesn't seem dumb or unrelated, there are people who need to hear it because they'll feel bad for refusing an ask like the pv anon one when they shouldn't)
that person has been sending that ask to ML artists for years, I remember when I first joined the fandom something like 2 years ago and so, they had sent me 2 asks as soon as I started dropping art (and it was more agressive like "draw pv felix bridgette tango dance" dhjdfhj). Back then I had been pretty nice because I felt a little bad for rejecting their request like "I'm sorry :// I hope you understand ://" but now I don't feel sorry in the slightest
And they've done it to lotssss of artists in the fandom it's ridiculous, and never with a "please" or anything
And you know it's the kind of person who will never leave you a thank you, never reblog what you drew for them for free, and for all you know they're gonna repost what you did on instagram or something 🤪
Some people really think artists are at their service and they can just ask like it won't take us hours to do a drawing. Some even take the opportunity when we do ask games & ask people to send us a character to draw, to drop their OC so they can have it for free, sorry but no, if you can't draw then go on picrew or something for that hahaha
But anyway for every new ML artist who hasn't had that PV anon yet: if you get it don't waste your time with them they're annoying ✌️
