Help, I accidentally created a Fantoccio tulpa and he won’t. Shut. UP.

People thinking K’nuckles is genuinely a man’s man is so funny to me because he’s so clearly meant to be making fun of someone who is overcompensating for not feeling manly enough. Yes, you see on the surface level K’nuckles acts macho. However, you must ask yourself, IS he really that macho?

No! He regularly gets his limbs stolen and made fun of by the other sailors because he’s pathetic! Literally no one in Stormalong respects him except for Flapjack. He acts that way because he’s insecure, and he’s insecure because he is NOT manly!

little site i made the other day to congregate a bunch of misc HIGNFY-related media in one place

not an actual archive by any means since it isn’t self-contained, more of a link directory i guess but that doesn’t sound as cool

i’m planning on maybe making an actual blog or website for proper archival at some point, but that’s a bit ambitious so it might not be ready for a while (or i might just lose interest as with most things, so don’t count on it)

Gan Ning appreciation time because uh… Team Ninja made him a slutty pirate with sexy facial hair and poorly applied smokey eye, how can I NOT draw him…

That. That is the face of a Pirate.

Why Team Ninja? Why did you design such a fine ass man, only to have him fuck off immediately after his (damn tough) boss fight and leaving me to content with the significantly less sexy (and significantly more spammy) Taishi Ci?! No I definitely do not have a bone to pick with Taishi Ci. No way.

Anyway…

Awooga indeed.

(Note: No ranting in reblog tags pls. I’m the only one allowed to do that in my tags, cause my post. Might delete this psa later)

Do you have any tutorials on how you drew Tallest red and purple?

>>CLICK OR TAP THIS LINK<<

This is as close as it’ll get to one. I spent 45 minutes digging in my ask archive to find the closest thing I got, boss.

Same. It’s a real shame.

Screenshot game! Who’s resting where when the event ends?

Y’all, does anyone remember that one specific cover of The Girl Who Sells Misfortune? I can’t find it anywhere, but I remember that it had really distinct lyrics, and Google is giving me no results. I don’t remember all the words, but I’ll put what I remember under the cut.

Content warning for repetition under the cut.

Stop it now, cut it out

Stop it now, give it a rest

Don’t you treat her like a pest

Stop it now, cut it out

Stop it now, give it a break

Just think of her for goodness’ sake

But there’s no helping it now

No helping it now

She’s just so weak it’s like she’s nothing anyhow

Doesn’t shed a tear

She could disappear

That’s why it’s cute to tease and pity her with ease

Misfortune

Misfortune

From what she gains, she can sell off all her pain

something something

The girl who’s selling misfortune

Misfortune, misfortune

And though she’s unaware, it’s getting her somewhere

something something

The girl who’s selling misfortune

Stop it now, cut it out

Stop it now, give it a rest

Don’t you treat her like a pest

It’s starting to sprout

It’s starting to sprout

But the flowers stay underground

But there’s no helping it now

No helping it now

something something

That’s why it’s cute to tease and pity her with ease

Misfortune, misfortune

From what she gains, she can sell off all her pain

something something

The girl who’s selling misfortune

Misfortune, misfortune

And though she’s unaware, it’s getting her somewhere

something something

The girl who’s selling misfortune

Ah

Also, I definitely remember the phrase “have some sorrow for tomorrow” being in there somewhere.

It's my 2 years and 3 days anniversary on Tumblr 🥳

Wow, time sure flies. And I still haven’t finished my island. At least I’m cleaning it up!

[ghoulbats]

i love my morning routine of waking up, getting on tumblr and scrolling through the same 5 blogs to catch up from the day before

The 80,000 warnings about the ao3 spambots on here are making me realize... do people on tumblr not know what an SEO scam is??????

Everyone warning each other to not click on the links... I mean yes this is just good internet advice, don’t click random spammy links, but if the point was trick you into clicking they would be doing a better job of pretending not to be bots, don’t you think?

The purpose of these comments is SEO optimization... just trying to increase their pagerank in search results on Google or Bing by making a lot of different pages link to them.  

These aren’t a big deal if they hit the accounts of active writers, who have plenty of tools to get rid of them.  The game is to hit the accounts of writers who aren’t  checking their emails, and won’t bother to log in / mark as spam.  Then the comments stay up and help with getting their links on early pages of search results or making them look more legitimate. 

Anyway here’s something for the AO3 engineering team to do - figure out where these bots are coming from and block the domain.  Since ao3 is mostly volunteer labor we just wait until someone’s free to work on it or the board votes to pay for it, though.
