#immortalizing my silly doodles on the internet

So, they're making a film centered around the classic childrens book Harold and the Purple Crayon. That's a book I remember reading in grade school back in the 80s, in fact I still have my copy of the book. The amount of dingbats who flood the comment sections with "Just a live action rip off of Chalk Zone" is astounding. Cool, you watched a show on Nickelodeon, in the 80s there was Simon in the Land of Chalk Drawings and it was part of the show Pinwheel - I watched that show religiously. Simon was the inspiration for Chalk Zone, the cartoonist behind Simon wrote the children book series. The internet has this thing called a search engine, try using it before posting something that makes you look like a total dumbass.

There are several silly kid books about children using crayons and chalk, those drawings then come to life and the child interacts with their drawings. Harold and the Purple Crayon was released in the 1950s, Norway has the story The Magic Chalk that was released in the 1940s, and of course the Simon series that I believe came out in the 70s. From what I saw, other countries have cartoons about crayon and chalk drawings coming to life that date back to the early 1980s. For gosh sakes Spongebob had that evil doodle episode! So this dumb idea that Chalk Zone is original is absolute bullshit.

Just a side note, is magic and imagination just a foreign concept now? The crayon is clearly magic but grown adults were ass mad and freaking out about how shit they saw in the trailer wasn't logical. Captain America injected with immortal serum isn't logical yet this set you off? What the hell? I would think you'd be more concerned about preventing your kid from drawing all over walls with their "magic" purple crayon after the see this movie or read the book. That was the big problem when I was a kid in grade school, teachers had to confiscate purple crayons after several kids drew on walls around the school, and of course I did my share of drawing around the house. If you think your kid won't be that problem child, think again.

Hello!

So, my brother got me a typewriter for christmas. He is the hipster of the family, and has had one of his own for quite some time. Now, if you’re me, and have some admittedly hipster-ish tendencies yourself, you think that this is very cool and fun. I was ecstatic to receive a beautiful, functioning typewriter for christmas.

But what to do with it? Well, to start off with, I’ve been using my typewriter to write journal entries. The un-editable, stream-of-consciousness nature of typewriter writing makes it ideal for this purpose, with the bonus that the sheer fun of writing on the typewriter (click clack tip tap! ding! entertainment abounds) motivates me to actually write my journal entries. I’ve also decided to use my typewriter to type up snail mail letters to my siblings who live far away. I already wrote them letters to keep in touch, but lately I have gotten out of the habit. The typewriter will make my letters more aesthetically pleasing, as well as hopefully motivate me to write more regularly (again, it’s very fun). But what else can I do with it?

Well, who would I be if I didn’t immediately make a new tumblr sideblog upon finding a new interest? Not myself, that’s for sure. Introducing @typed-tumbles! (a tumble being anything you do on tumblr.com, of course. I have lovingly referred to being on tumblr as “tumbling” for quite some time now, and you’re not allowed to put the word “tumblr” in your username apparently.)

And what is the purpose of this brand new sideblog? Well, to typewrite tumblr, of course! Do you have a textpost that you just love and adore? A thought you feel needs to be more than just a textpost? A song lyric that haunts you? Immortalize it forever* and bring it into the real, physical world through the medium of typewriter! Send me the words you want typed, and I will type them up, maybe add a little border, doodle, or sticker, and then post a picture here on tumblr.com! DISCLAIMER: I reserve the right not to accept any post for any reason. It’s my blog and I’m just having fun here. The main reasons I can think of that would cause me to not accept a post are if it contains sexism/racism/homophobia/transphobia/hatred or bigotry of any kind, misinformation, or any stuff like that you know. Don’t be scared to submit a post cause you think I won’t like it or whatever. The worst that could happen is I don’t post it. I mainly just don’t wanna put any nasty stuff on here though. It’s just a fun and silly blog.

Let’s have some fun with typewriters on tumblr.com!

*forever here being however long a piece of paper, or an image on the internet lasts. Which, according to my dad, is forever. So if you trust my dad, then yes, forever.
