Thinking about a timetravel au (perhaps via hatchy's portals?) where its just the bots as we know them today fucking around in the cavalcadium in the 1890s right before they were built. idk why but theres just so much comedic potential. like they hide from most people they live in the walls its a bunch of baffled scientists attempting to figure out why three (to six. depending on whos coming.) blue matter signatures are moving around their building. they discovered this element last week goddamn it!! why is it here!! then they finally find them and why are there fully sentient robots. why does that one look like dr moreau. why does that one look like peter walter. whats going on. cut to peter frantically looking between his barely sketched out plans of singing automatons and the very-real fully-complete band of robots before him. they sing ballad of delilah morreo. they sing brass goggles. there has never been a more confused group of scientists

I got the Rabbit boat done!

I had to turn accidental black paint splotches on the inside into dripping oil, but I think it adds a new layer of detail!

Here’s all the boats together! Steamboats unite!

I must not mock Gen Alpha. Mocking Gen Alpha is the mind killer. Mocking Gen Alpha is the little-death that brings total generational solidarity obliteration. I will engage with Gen Alpha lovingly. I will permit them to be cringe. And when they grow up I will turn my eye to their accomplishments. Where mocking has gone there will be nothing. Only generational solidarity remains

The world has discovered that you are the fountain of youth. For every 1 hour someone spends with you 30 minutes get added to their life span. Unfortunately, you’re a hermit who just wants to stay at home by yourself.

#in a sense this is how ches' character works #i've not gotten down why exactly he'd be trusted so strongly in comparison to everyone else #(maybe it's because he's an Object rather than an Animal in terms of what form he takes) #but i'd imagine he somehow holds records on all the other characters' pasts and so if they discovered this theyd be like. What the fuck #you do???? #and then hes just like AAH NO I DIDNT SAY ANYTHING #mags' oc aquarium #ches checce #ennedail #ig this deviates from the prompt a lot but like theyre all ghosts it would mean nothing to follow it strictly <_<

You know, an interesting tumblr transformation that's happened gradually, and which I've seen no one talk about: ask-culture has essentially dropped off to nothing.

By which I mean, asks used to be WAY more of the tumblr economy. They used to be more common to send, and receive, and see. They were integral to the collaborative, forum-like behavior of old tumblr communities, not even to speak on the HUGE number of ask-blogs that used to exist to only be interacted with in ask-form.

I'm not saying this in a vying-for-attention way but instead in an observational way: I used to get way way more asks in like 2015, even with a fraction of my follower count. I wonder if it's due to the homogenization of social media sites? There's a lot more of this divide between "content creator" and "consumer" instead of just a bunch of peer blogs who would talk to each other. "Asks" aren't really a thing on twitter, are they? And as I understand it, the closest thing to an "ask" on instagram or tiktok would be a creator screenshotting some comment and responding to it in a new reel or video or whatever those content mediums are. Are asks just too tumblr-specific? Is that aspect of the site culture dying out as more and more people converge to using all their social media sites in the same way?

People liking your personal OCs is still such a crazy feeling, I've been doing this for years and ppl asking about them still fills my entire heart with warmth and idk how to handle it

You enjoy this fictional guy I made up for fun?? Whose only content is random artwork or writing made by me and a handful of other artists at most? They have no show/book/game with a large fandom, it's just one person with an art blog?? I love u
