yet another reprise of the same post i’ve made dozens and dozens of times before but GEEZ! i am so incredibly lucky to be doing what i’m doing! to think i spend hours and hours and days and weeks and months and years and hopefully DECADES pouring over animation history, lauding the masters and studying their work so intently and absorbing it and feeling and identifying with it, and the fact that i get to walk the same turf they did. that i get to be a part of this business that they established. that i get to carry the torch and that, some day, no matter how small or insignificant, my own work and contributions will be regarded as “animation history” because i work in animation and all history is history. i just can’t believe that i’m privileged enough to indulge in some of the same practices that The Greats did, that i get to study their work and, if i’m so lucky, channel and make homages to it where possible.

this isn’t to say “i’m just like Tex Avery because i work in animation TOO!!!!”, but, rather, an expression of my sheer GRATITUDE and amazement that i get to do what i do at all. i’ve met so many nice people. blossomed so much as an artist and cartoonist. get inspired each day by the talent i am constantly surrounded by. and to think that i get to be a part of it!!!!! that i get to carry the torch! i know this sounds so conceited and pompous and i really don’t mean it that way at all because i don’t WANT to be known as someone who people are only interested in because i work in cartoons. i just wanna be known for me! what “me” is i guess is for you to decide! but, regardless, i’m just feeling extra thankful tonight that i’m able to indulge in my passions and SPREAD my passions and have said passions fostered. that i’m lucky enough to tread the same ground as some of the greatest creatives that gave me this ground to tread on. there will never be enough words to properly articulate just how deeply and passionately my gratitude extends.

are you a radical feminist? fail proof test!

1. are you part of a women's organisation that has its direct action primarily based on radical feminist theory?

2. are you an academic researcher/writer in the field of radical feminism?

If you answered yes to one or both, you're a radfem. If your answer to both is negative, you're not. The end

some thoughts

reminder to self too but making friends is really just that simple. or getting closer to someone you've always thought was cool but never talked to because you were too intimidated is also just that simple. its much easier if you have a shared interest tbh but. the worst thing is? they say no. or they ghost you.

and if it goes through? social link rank up and you get invited to do stuff!

anyway this week i made friends with a few diff groups of people ive only ever been mutuals with. and i got invited to do a bunch of things with them and got introed to their own respective friendgroups too. so im kinda happy with that!

and it turned out that they too wanted to talk to me since forever but were also just too shy to do so. maybe the world is just full of individuals who want to make friends but are too scared to make the first move.

so sometimes you have to be the one reaching out.

we need to re-normalize not sending almost-total-strangers graphic descriptions of your self harm plans. i think.

ok so if someone is decently knowledgeable about gender stuff and used to consider themselves nonbinary and use they/them and suddenly gets rid of public pronouns and says that their gender is ‘female’ (and they’re afab)…… that’s a little concerning, right? am i overthinking this, or does that sound concerning?

reflecting on how all of my other DMs have gone above and beyond to lovingly weave my and my friends' backstory elements into the larger worldbuilding of the campaign by contrast to all of the ways Elyss' DM has gone out of his way to suppress or excise any influences her family may have ever had on anything and I'm genuinely near tears over it

eeuuaghh i would like everyone to know that i apologise if i have not responded to your reblogs/mentions/posts on tumblr, i have really terrible social anxiety and for some reason people talking to me makes my nervous system think i'm being hunted for sport by a resident evil boss. sorry if i havent responded i'm not being rude i'm just having a panic attack :P

additionally: social anxiety is actually the reason why a lot of my old posts from late 2022 had weird spacing and spelling mistakes. i was too anxious to type properly

hi rosy! i've been wanting to get back into reading actual books instead of fic because i used to read so much and now i kind of don't anymore. and i was wondering if you have any good book recs or books that have stood out to you in the past months/years? i'm pretty much up for anything and you seem like a really good person to ask 🫶

hiya anon! thanks for the question -- i used to be an avid reader basically up to uni, and then stopped reading for pleasure because of my assigned readings. and then when i picked up books in my free time, it was always something related to my studies to #advance my knowledge and at that point it was honestly dreadful. so don't make the same mistake: start whatever genre you like most! is it fantasy? romance? thriller? stick to that genre for the first few books that you'll read!

thinking of the most fun books i read the past years, one of the first books i got lost in once i finally had some free time for my actual hobbies was The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. it was really big around in the late 00-s but i was too young for it back then and then just never got around it (have no idea whether the movie is good), and the two sequels are also incredible. if you haven't read the Hunger Games trilogy, the books were sooooo well written and so much better than the films! i also absolutely loved Neil Gaiman's American Gods and also Nevermore (i actually liked both more than Good Omens). i just finished this week She Who Became The Sun and it was incredible! if you like something more melancholy, Swimming In The Dark was amazing, and if you're looking for something dark, dystopian then i can deffo recommend the Handmaid's Tale, and also the entire Arch of a Scythe series by Neal Shusterman. and if you want to start reading poetry, then my go-to would be Devotions or American Primitive by Mary Oliver :)

also if you're like me -- you might find that your attention span is worse than it used to be when you read a lot, and you'll start worrying whether you'll be able to get lost in books again. the answer is yes! not to sound like a boomer but screens and the tiktokification of the internet is indeed ruining our concentration, but it will totally get better with time. so be patient with yourself, try to get rid of distractions, and enjoy yourself!

I think some people are allergic to reblogging posts, so they do the extra step of taking caps and posting them as their own

[sheepwasfound]

after a few days have passed now, it was interesting to read through a transcript of the instagram dm’s which dream confirmed he believed were real. seeing them just on their own like that with nothing around it is a valuable experience i feel like

[honeyboyfelix]

Sometimes I look at “callout” posts or people airing their dirty laundry on the internet and just think “This could of been a email at maximum.”

Alright I’m finally gonna address this because it frustrated me enough that it’s been sitting in my drafts for weeks (cw another long and angry ramble about respect and boundaries) ⬇️

This is just… very frustrating. I am an outspoken advocate for curating your internet experience, which means blocking people for any reason (from genuine irritation to just off vibes) if you feel the need to do so. I block empty blogs most of the time cause they annoy me. I’ve blocked people because I disagree with the things they post, or just because the way that they interact with me doesn’t feel great.

Not to sound like a real dick or anything, but I don’t owe any stranger on here anything. If we’ve been friends for a while, I might feel obligated to explain a hard block via DMs (which I have done before and will do again if the situation arises), but other than that, we’re all just strangers on here. If I have blocked you, it’s because I don’t want you to be interacting with my stuff anymore, that’s it.

The fact that this person felt the need to send this to me probably from an entirely separate tumblr, (despite us never having had even a whole conversation), just immediately tells me that they don’t respect my boundaries as a blog or a as person. Long answer short: no, I’m not going to explain specifically why, and I don’t think I need to.

If you’re decent and respectful, I promise I will have absolutely no problem with you. I appreciate y’all who follow me a fucking lot. Y’all have been lovely and kind and sweet to me, and I very much enjoy interacting with y’all.

If you and I don’t know each other at all and you do find yourself blocked here, though, I would prefer if you simply respect that boundary I’ve established and move on.

I’ve worked hard as fuck to try to have a good time on here, including being respectful and decent to others as best I can, but doing that work involves setting and respecting boundaries. I’m just an anxious human person existing in this wild hellscape, and I’m more than happy to do the complicated work of communicating with friends about conflict if need be, but I’ve also learned to be pretty hard and fast about those boundaries, and it’s helped me a lot.

Once again, to all y’all who follow me, appreciate what I do, and respect me (and also have gotten through all of this rambling):

I appreciate y’all endlessly. Please know that you boost my artistic self esteem and brighten my days routinely, and that means a heck of a lot to me❤️
