If you're a writer and you see this post, stop what you're doing.
WHENEVER YOU SEE THIS POST ON YOUR DASH, STOP WHAT YOU’RE DOING AND WRITE ONE SENTENCE FOR YOUR CURRENT PROJECT.
Just one sentence. Stop blogging for one minute and write a single sentence. It could be dialogue, it could be a nice description of scenery, it could be a metaphor, I don’t care. The point is, do it. Then, when you finish, you can get back to blogging.
If this gets viral, you might just have your novel finished by next Tuesday.

Kamishiro and Kirishima: Ends of a Spectrum
Tumblr media
(Alternatively: Women Too Pretty to Ignore So I Wrote About Them)
Thanks to @just-another-tokyo-ghoul-fan for unlocking a part of my brain I didn’t even know existed. It’s definitely not like Touka is tied for 2nd place for my favorite character in TG. No, sir.
As always, I’m using the official translations because of my monolingual curse.
Under the cut.

fun fact!! it turns out that now when u make a new blog, tumblr forces you to follow 3-4 people before you can change your icon or modify your blog in any way!! this, of course, means that, yes, some of the "potential bots" many of us have been automatically blocking could have possibly been genuine new users who were only just seconds in to having an account!!! tumblr is literally screwing new users over!!!!

That was the image before Ishida took it down, for those who didn’t see it at the time for whatever reason.
I always assumed this was supposed to be Eto’s birthday poem for a variety of reasons.
‘phosphenes’ translation
It appears that the art and poem Ishida uploaded a few hours ago (20170912) have been deleted from his blog. I managed to copy down the poem before it got deleted, so I’ve also included the original poem in Japanese below the translated version. Please let me know if there are any mistakes in the translations!
idealism - phosphenes

Eto and Ohashi / Birb and Borgar

Originally, I was trying to draw Ohashi in Ishida's Volume Character Bio style from TG, but I quickly got off task and ended up losing the simplicity that made those portraits so good. Then I tried to draw Eto with her short haircut, with similar results.

These are pretty old, not sure if I've posted them here before. You can tell how much I procrastinate with one of them.

I’m definitely guilty of this. It’s not exactly what OP’s talking about, but I stopped reblogging for a while. I ended up just liking and not reblogging because I felt bad about not being able to answer asks or provide other content despite having dozens of drafts on tumblr alone. Then it becomes a cycle of “I have to do something even bigger since I’ve been gone for so long”.
Alright this is rly sad but here goes. I started doing my once-in-awhile bot purge from my followers list. And. I used to be able to just quickly scan and see the bots. They were the ones with default icons and generator-sounding names like "noun-girl-827". And if you weren't sure, you could click on the blog and it would be immediately obvious it was a bot because there's either just bad porn click bait, or nothing there.
Well. This time I had to give up immediately because I got like ten followers down the list and was having immense trouble figuring out who's a bot and who's real. Never ever used to see this but like 5/10 of the first few followers I checked on had just totally empty blogs. It wasn't until I'd already blocked 2 - assuming bots bc empty blogs - that I thought to check if they had any likes. And bam! There it was. All of their user activity.
We have people on this website now who have never reblogged a single post.
Y'all, I'm sure you're sick of seeing "you have to reblog thing" but you literally have to reblog things. That is how this website works. You understand that, right? How do you think the post you hit "like" on got in front of you? It wasn't because you liked enough things and Tumblrs algorithm figured out what you like enough to hand it to you. It's because you followed someone, a human person, who reblogged that post. And it came from another person who also reblogged it.
You are killing this website by refusing to interact with it in the way that makes it better than the other websites you ran from to come here.
Anyway, I'm sure you're all nice people, but I'm not going to play the "bot or not" game if you have an empty blog I'm going to block you.
