#and twitter does not help

[gabichanwrites]

I've seen an opinion about JJK that the story needs so much pointless death and unrealized potential because it is the point. That this is the world of JJK, cruel and killing off potential because of higher-ups indifference and carelessness with sorcerer's lives. That Gege did a brave thing by stepping out of the line of a typical shouen plot and made his characters suffer and die and pointed out the ridiculousness of adults making children fight for them.

And to all of that I say - I get it. But also I don't agree.

There is a significant difference between the potential in-universe and the potential of the characters. Sure, they overlap a lot, especially in series like JJK, but there is a difference. For example, both the characters and us have been thrilled with the unspoken potential of Megumi's "sacred treasure" and I'm pretty sure every single one of us went wild when he made his half-baked domain in S1. Also, he got Sukuna as his hypeman - it's hard to really top that in terms of potential. But when I say character potential, I don't mean only power scaling one - I mean what they could do in a story. And one of the best examples for me are The Twins. You know, the ones that try to bargain with Sukuna to kill off the Fake-Getou. And the quite pointless death of BOTH of them.

Their techniques personally interest me a lot but it's not even about that. Even if there is not that much space to explore with them cursed technique-wise, wouldn't it be so interesting if one of them got to live? Betrayed by every curse she turned for help to, alone in a raging Shibuya - forced to work with the School Gang? With their very differing opinions, with her wildly different perspective... Man, I'm not that good of a writer to figure it out on a fly. But there was potential there, a very interesting one, and wasting it isn't the nail on the coffin for Gege's story - but it does disappoint me, considering how hyped the story was for me beforehand. How much trust I put into Gege's writing.

And with the way things are going with Nanami, Nobara and, from what I've gathered from my partner's ashamed face when I mentioned my suspicions, Todou, this is no longer about power potential the characters had (although with Nobara it kinda still is). It's about how those deaths are hidden behind the smoke screen of theme and well, that's the cruelty of the world that tries to hide the balant shock-value of these deaths. Because back in season 1 Gojo already said it - that he knows killing higher-ups won't really solve anything. That it's about a new generation doing better, forcing a change others reject.

So why isn't this story about that? Why does it kill off THREE (?) characters for the sake of kicking Yuuji into dirt? Why does Mahito even require so many named deaths to establish... What exactly? That he's fucked up and immoral and direct opposite of Yuuji? That he can bring out the worst in him? I THINK I GOT THE POINT AFTER JUNPEI AND NANAMI, REALLY.

So, with the spoilers I have from the manga, I just feel like it's not quite right to call those deaths deserved because of the setting. Not when the story in S1 promised a change, a hopeful future set by the new generation.

And if that were never the main focus of the series, then I don't want to hear a single world about those deaths contributing to it because they are not.

Man, there is no one who wants to love JJK more than me and there is no one more heartbroken that I can't bring myself to do so anymore.

[ganondoodle]

this tweet of mine is blowing up (unexpectedly) on twitter and i cant say i am not afraid of it spreading further

#ganondoodles talks #help me #i just wanna talk like i would do on tumblr but my twitter posts that arent art are so much more likely to blow up these days #it sucks #like im getting the feeling im running into danger when i see those numbers go up like that #i just wanna throw my thoughts into the void with a few cool people adding their funny takes #nit be afraid im gonna get swarmed by bigots #how does this keep happening

[fedoraspooky]

Youtube rly out here removing features for smaller creators who don't post often enough for them %)

#they took away advanced features from my channel bc i have 'insufficient channel history' like girl what does that even mean #i've had this account for years in good standing #poked them on twitter bc it's the only place you can get any help from them at all and they were like 'sorry post moar i guess' #gee thanks youtube i guess i'm not 'productive' enough to be able to post links in my descriptions #anyway if i do any streaming it'll probs be on twitch or picarto :B

hey there.

#took a short break from social media... and by that i mean twitter.... #school work was piling up and it got overwhelming so i thought throwing twitter aside for a few days can help lol #i missed drawing him hes more fun and easier to draw than anything im doing for school.... screw studying i wanna look at him all day... uuu #devil may cry #dante(dmc) #allyart #i can feel my art style changing right before my eyes #this is what drawing things and not using your own style for it for 5 days does to an artist

It's all well and good for the twitter people to say that they are going to attempt to make musk lose money like the tumblr/yahoo situation, but the fundamental issue there is that to be able to do such a thing, it would require the people that tweet to stop tweeting. This is a problem because twitter people LOVE to tweet

#on a real note all this media attention- *especially on twitter(!)* is helping musk- i can guarantee he does not feel threatened by tumblr #also with yahoo part of the problem was that no one at yahoo understood tumblr or its users properly. i hate to give anything to musk but #regretfully he does in fact relatively understand twitter and is at least aware of its userbase #twitter #elon musk #im sure that he is very aware that anger and fear and discouse sells. it sells extremely well! im convinced thats objectively why twitter's #character limits are so low... #**discourse #the idea of a meme-ing billionaire edgelord owning the biggest social media platform and directly influencing it himself with his cringe #and awful views makes me feel unwell #my top posts

squad. and some gully expressions

#under the eyes #taz moment #cleary ute #gully ute #sketch #silly gaggle of gay invertebrate teenagers #copypaste from twitter where i was talking gully expressions: #shes got a touch of resting bitch face #but her relaxed neutral look has a more loose hold to the trunk. sad has her trunk curling in on itself w her eye stalks held more loosely #and happy has a raised trunk that brings her mouth more in line w her head #also trying to have the curve of her “chin” replicate her actual mouth a bit #as it is where the mouth would be if there was no trunk and i think it helps convey the mood #also she doesnt talk from the trunk mouth and he voice just kinda. emanates from her gill slits? #dont question it. but she does do open mouth emoting sometimes (and she eats w it lol)

Sad to say I've never played a Rayman game before, I've known about the character for what feels like forever but I've just never thought to actually sit down and play a game. Tho that's definitely changing this weekend when I have free time, I honestly don't know how I've gone this long without playing a game since I love platformers and specifically 3D platformers.

Plus... Rayman's design is just peak character design. I'm a sucker for limbless characters and especially with his look in the Phantom's Show DLC being SO DAMN NICE (he also looks like he hasn't slept in like 10 years in the concept art which is great)

#rayman #i swear if me seeing that silly dlc on my twitter timeline is gonna turn me into a die hard rayman fan... #i really want to play the dlc but i do not own a copy of the base game #and idk if i have the money to spend on a game that i'm prolly only gonna play the dlc for #the urge to buy the dlc and help show support for the franchise even tho i'm not a fan yet #vs the knowledge that i'd be spending like $80 on a game that i do not have that big of interest playing the base game for #the game looks visually great don't get me wrong its just the combat does not look like it'd be up my alley

orz i wish tumblr live was just done better and more tumblr-appropriate. I just got the urge to start a live stream and draw for a while, but then i remembered tumblr live got nuked and then i remembered tumblr live sucked donkey butts. Its unfortunate bc i dont allow myself to use tiktok and instagram intimidates me, and services like twitch and picarto feel too much like a production right now and i have no audience over there.

It would just be nice to pop up here where i already feel comfortable and just have a lil livestream going that u guys could stop by if it comes on your dash (like a normal goddamn post) instead of being this weird tab with porn bait streams tryna be snapchat lookin ass

#livestreams help me with productivity so itd be nice to find something that works for me #instagram seems like the best option right now #its the only place i have a following that isnt tumblr #i pretend twitter does not exist #im considering taking twitter off of my business cards thats how bad it is lolll #txt

[adhdandcomics]

adding to my tags because i’ve been thinkin a lot about the post i just reblogged and have more thoughts:

i’ll be real, the more i saw ‘hey adhd influencers are so annoying’ the more i worried that i was unconsciously contributing to the spreading reputation of adhd folks as annoying and over-pathologizing every symptom they experience

and then i realized. i am not a goddam influencer or life coach or representative. obviously i have some obligation as someone who cares about myself and the people that like my comics to not spread harmful ideology or blatant misinformation but i never intended myself to be a “’increase your productivity!!’ blog OR a ‘if you have XYZ you have adhd!’ blog. and i do this for fun, and originally started this blog bc i had a lot of internalized shame and self loathing about my adhd and thought if i could make it funny i might have less of that. let’s get real! and it worked!

i’ve obviously done this kind of thing— (hey these symptoms might be adhd!) a lot before in my life & on this blog, but there’s more to it than trying to be an “influencer” or whatever. a term that didn’t even exist when i started this blog!

i felt very isolated trying to find out if i had any mental problems & what have you originally because of large advice (etc) blogs with staunchly anti self Dx views at the time

so i overcorrected when i DID get dxed and tried to validate everyone who was like me. and of course. not the best course of action always for the ol mental health. tried to be the source of positivity and jokes that i didn’t see because the online adhd presence was near non-existent.

and anyway. i make a lot of fun of myself & the way m brain works in my comics obviously but it is not my obligation to... how do you say.... not be annoying online.

because if folks interpret MY little jokes as a strict guide to diagnosis. that’s on them, really, not me. i also believe “making adhd your entire personality” is a non-issue. so what if people find out they have it and get over excited with identifying as adhd. saying this as someone who DID do it. criticism of this gives the same vibes as people being annoyed that young queers make “being queer” their whole personality. im very obviously more than a guy with adhd, and id reckon other adhd comic artists are too. (im friends with a lot of them!) it’s fine to post about it online.

anyway. i just don’t take myself too seriously and i’m a comic artist for myself first! and you know what, i’ve been considered annoying my entire life. what do i care if a few more folks think i’m annoying. neurotypical or not

#i think the article did have some good points especially on the capitalism and marketing angle but i oft think it did venture into #being mad at individual folks who post jokes about adhd. which is literally fine thats what an opinion piece is for lol #i am just very tired of people pretending that a lot of reaction to online adhders is not in itself just an extension of the ableism #we already were facing #'adhd people are so annoying everyone does this youre pathologizing everything' ok and how exactly are you helping. #i hesitate to throw my hat in with hating on adhd tiktok because i am simply not on tiktok and have no way to back up my thoughts #that they may be annoying and oversimplifying a complex disorder on the 'drains your attention span' website. #and i think perhaps the value of each adhd resource varies widely depending on who made it and what theyre even posting. #sometimes its a joke made by a person with adhd. sometimes its sourced and cited research. sometimes its someone discussing their personal #experiences in depth. sometimes its someone talking completely out of their ass. sometimes its THINLY veiled ableism. #its up to the individual to research and determine the value of the memes and resources you seek #anyway. perhaps these points are tough to clarify on sites like insta and twitter. bless. #text #adhd #im punk now #oh and yeah i also agree lots of folks do not talk about the unsavory parts of adhd but rather the funnies and the sillies. but that is #once again a larger capitalism and marketing and ableism problem #r we not talking about them because we are actively trying to infantalize this disorder or is it because we collectively experience a lot #of internalized ableism and hesitate to talk about our worst symptoms for fear of the backlash #weve always gotten about them 🤔🤔🤔 #much to consider #if youve read this far sorry for tangent number 56 about this. but also start being more unapologetic about your disorders. fuck it! #<3

I think they probably have separate rooms like I bet they have 3 bedrooms/3 baths and one is a guest bedroom/bathroom. But I think they both sleep in the “Dan” bedroom and have done that for a while . And the “Phil” bedroom is just for decoration/if they need a break from each other/if one of them is contagiously ill or something. Also it probably gave Phil a space to put decor that Dan doesn’t love lmao

what if i told you this is exactly what i think but they have 4 bedrooms and not 3

#the phil filming room is a spare bedroom but also they mentioned a different guest bedroom #now that either the green room or a different room except i think the green room may belong to phil #also incase anyone does knwo the green room its the one with the bamboo pics and from that twitter video where dan is trying to help phil #figure out his hairstyleeee #bethanie answers

"Fuck your online discourse" actually, no, we do think the halloween DID flag shouldn't be used but it's not because of some bullshit like "waah it's just a recolor" it's because the system that created that flag is a huge fucking racist and ableist last we checked, and we never saw ant kind of apology for being racist and ableist to endogenic systems. We never saw them stop being anti-endogenic or anti-Black (because let's be honest, Black endogenic systems specifically would be the ones most affected and hurt by this).

Like, we know people have forgotten by now, but we were THERE just before TPA became a thing, when systems like The Entropy System were fully mask-off in their bigotry (we call anti-endogenics facsists because of the personal experience of having the not-pleasure of seeing shit like the above link lmao), and such other things. We used to be very visible on Twitter as an endogenic system who's seen this shit but it was kind of taking over 99% of our focus when we were working retail instead of working at home, so we ended up tapering it away.

#to be clear. this IS an actual opinion of ours. #it is also a vent & we are fully aware we will never be able to get people to stop using it entirely. #like that would be rude/mean at best we guess. #but we're kind of in that liminal time/space where we came out as an endogenic system pre-TPA but just barely. #researching niche bullshit was a REQUIREMENt for us...until it wasn't #which we thought was supposed to happen in your 50's -- not like...somewhere in the 20's to 30's range yall #we remember niche bullshit in the plural communities that you woluldnt even DREAM of if someone gives us the correct recall trigger if your #newer than like 2 years to plurality #“the plural pride world conference did not even exist yet and then existed within like two years of us coming out” levels of transition #we're so glad the kids will be okay but we're a kid ourselves if were using that metaphor. the older teen-quasi-parent specifically. :') #if were going with that metaphor/those vibes that is #we wont always understand but we do try to at least be kind #does anyone else remember that guide to “so youve slipped into another world” or smth like that??? #you had to dig for hours and hours if not DAYS/WEEKS and you could still be fucked #if your system friend did not also have it to share with you all #yeah that system popped in and said “hI” to us on our twitter when we talked about that there too and is glad people have been helped by it #iwrc that is
