It started out with me being pissed off at Tumblr's new dashboard layout + dark mode settings just looking like Twitter in a way that made me want to commit crimes. Then my good friend @zerojanitor brought two things to my attention:
The existence of the Dashboard Unfucker
The existence of Tampermonkey, which is used to execute the Dashboard Unfucker
I realized that Tampermonkey is a tool that lets you do anything. You can overwrite CSS for any website you visit so that, locally, it looks however you want it. The devs of the Dashboard Unfucker use this to revert the awful layout changes, but then I realized I could use it to make the dark mode layout actually have color.
Then ZJ realized they could use it to just have a purple dashboard for funzies.
Then I realized that I could recreate a MySpace page aesthetic by having a custom background image be a screenshot from the OoT Forest Temple.
I created a GitHub repository to share the scripts I used for these palettes. There's one for just if you want to change the colors of your dashboard, and there's a slightly different one for if you want a background image. The defaults are how it looks screenshotted above, but using the templates, you can make it whatever the hell you want.
The fic by Rockity Sock is still an unpublished WIP so far, but it's really nice and will hopefully be completed and published later.
It begins at the end of the Ultimate Enemy episode, with Dan getting trapped in the thermos. And... I'm not sure how much I can say without spoiling it, but a lot of really cool stuff happens. It's a psychological type of fic, about different types of prisons and punishments, and has time stuff and pocket dimensions, and redemption stuff. (I was only planning on drawing one illustration for IB, but when I saw the WIP, I wanted to see so many things animated. So many awesome visuals. I wish I could've animated them all.)
This is the part I did animate:
He just walked for now, searching for the tiniest crack. The darkness went on for seemingly forever though, and no matter how far he walked it kept on going
Dan kept moving
He tried his best to break through the walls but every ectoblast he formed fizzled out. Fading into the darkness.
Oh, now it makes sense.
His powers are being limited, it takes him a few more tries to believe it. The fact that he’s trapped with nothing whatsoever. Endless hours spent, and wasted. Powers he has built up from the ground with no mentor, ones he trained endlessly after a decade.
Gone, disappeared, muffled. Limited. Dan let out a laugh, one with no humor. A laugh that turned into a cackle, he couldn’t stop.

(I also uploaded the video on deviantArt and YouTube)
Shitty Miles "Tails" Prower aesthetic: ever since i learned that this lil guy is eight years old, i have been rendered incapable of ever playing another sonic game where he tags along with you or you play as him. i die so often, dude, i am not good at video games, and i can't take on the responsibility of inflicting more trauma on a fuckin baby. get back to me when they're doing middle-aged sonic installments

test how they tile here! i had a lot of fun with these, i was thinking they kind of look like some sort of fiber arts pattern, like cross stitch or knitting. might do a couple color variants (:
So, a while ago, I was tagged by @delicatesadist to do this, and completely forgot about it. Rediscovered it in my likes, and decided to be curious. The rules are, go to pinterest, and look up [enter your name here]core, and select images from those search results.
Originally, it asked for 6, but it gave me... a lot of interesting results, so I'm posting 9.
It was a lot of this. A LOT of this. It was hard to choose lol.
Assigned Stoker at Pinterest, tbfh.
Tagging @coupleoffruits @seemlikeapercy @confetti-vampire @cultofthepigeon @renmorris @eternalmonoliths @enki-ankarian @deermouth @hat-engineer @stromcuzewon @keenie-bo-beenie @f0xx0rzz @ourbastardofsorrows @threearmsally @fvckroach ...and any one of you who sees this and feels like doing it!
EDIT: Apparently more than half of who I tagged weren't actually tagged, because tumblr is rude... so hi again
look up adriana varejão if you liked that gore wall. i've seen that wall irl and many more of her pieces. i love when she makes eviscerated canvases
HELLOOOOO these all fuck INCREDIBLY hard and seem like they would go EVEN HARDER as installations not just images :0 thank u so much
(image description: a selection of pieces by brazilian artist adriana varejão. several feature motifs frm traditional portuguese tilework, a common feature of all the pieces shown is that the surface canvas or tile is broken / torn / gouged / sloughing away to reveal bloody viscera underneath)
I just read someone’s hot take on ‘the mermaid scene’ being ‘peak cringe’ and I just-
Sweet, sweet human. That’s Ed’s psyche you’re taking about. My dude is having his life flash before his eyes in the most beautiful little heartbreaking s1 montage, and if that’s how he wants to picture Stede coming to redeem his lonely fucking soul - as a glittery goddamn tits-out merman, then that’s HIS GODDAMN BUSINESS.
