[A sad violin song plays over an image of a sad hamster]

Pac: This doesn't have anything to do with me – I wear a blue sweatshirt, you're crazy, this mouse doesn't even have a sweatshirt, this hamster! [Reading chat] Am I a depressed hamster?

[ Transcript continued ↓ ]*

–

Pac: Actually– that's fine! I embrace that idea – of course I'm going to be depressed, are you crazy? [He hits his desk, then starts counting off people on his fingers] Fit is gone, Richarlyson is gone, Ramon is gone, Bagi and Empanada who were always there when we were there are also gone, I haven't seen them! It's just me and Tubbo, and sometimes Philza shows up.

Pac: I lost Chume Labs, I lost the Favela, I lost Murder Mystery, I lost Ilha Chume Labs, it's crazy! Look at how much I've lost, and I've gained nothing! Of course I'm going to be depressed, are you crazy?! How am I supposed to be happy?!

Pac: [Reading chat] "You have us Pac," that's true, thank you. No, that's true, sorry.

#Pactw #QSMP #Pac #March 18 2024 #As much as I love keeping people updated about Pac / the other Portuguese-speaking creators #I think I might not make as many transcribed posts for their clips anymore #I just don't think I'm qualified enough to be transcribing things for a language I don't know #like yeah we have the Qlobal Translator and Aypierre's translators to rely on #And I'm always upfront when I'm not 100% sure about a translation #but I've been thinking about it a lot and it kinda makes me feel a bit icky. Idk. #I might be overthinking this but I just I don't want to spread around translations I'm not super confident about #esp. since I know a lot of people cite my clips in analysis posts or link them to other people as resources #and 90% of the time I'm like ''Hell yeah I love seeing people getting a lot of use out of the archive'' #but sometimes I get a bit anxious like ''Did I do a good enough job translating this'' #''Am I ruining someone's entire perception of a conversation or character because I left one word out or mistranslated something?'' #And like I said that's normally not a HUGE concern since if I'm not certain about a translation I just won't post a clip. but you know #idk it might just be the anxiety talking but I really really don't want to spread bad info #Happy to hear other folks' perspective #I'm really grateful for people like Bell and Pix and others who translate clips and I always try to reblog those #but we don't have a ton of people posting clips & translating things on Tumblr since we're so English-centric #which is part of the reason WHY I like sharing clips of the non-English-speaking CCs #but at the same time I want to do an accurate job representing what they're saying #Maybe I'll just start posting things and give a TLDR context of what they're talking about but not a transcript #that way native-speakers can hop in and add translations if that's something they're comfortable doing #and if not then well. at least I'm not sharing something that isn't super accurate #idk I'm just thinking out loud a bit in the tags #But I'm open to hearing other people's thoughts on the matter #Anyways giant rant aside. q!Pac is NOT doing ok rn

impulse and skizz being like ''yeah people were really sure it was skizz, so weird, no idea how they guessed that'' when at the end of season 9 in his final stream impulse said ''oh new hermits, maybe you know we'll see'' when no other hermit i saw mentioned that possibility at that time at all and he looked at the camera with such a smile like buddy. we know skzz is your best friend. y'all are talking about gem not having a pokerface? where's your's? we could tell you were really happy about something and it was not hard to guess what or who that something was

and then of course all the other clues like all the many interactions with other hermits really solidified it but that one moment at the end of season 9 already had me veeery suspicious

#hermitcraft #impulsesv #skizzleman #like. i tried to keep my hopes low. i'm not one to get super into the speculations #but like. it was sus #maybe y'all should get back to playing more among us #you clearly need some lying practice #anyway i'm so happy for both of them this is so good #imp and skizz

every time a post/poll goes around about being aspec and fandom shipping enjoyment/engagement/whatever im like. NOW can we stop acting like being an aromantic person who enjoys shipping is some kind of Weird Outlier Situation? can we stop acting like this is an Unpopular Opinion or even Persecuted Outcast Take rather than idk, the default standard, just like everywhere else? idk romance repulsed aromantics Yes Including Fiction aren’t the default or even a significant majority and it really drives me nuts when people act like aros who enjoy shipping are somehow Not exactly that.

#gav gab #aro blogging #like gdspeed bud enjoy what you enjoy #glad you’re happy #but can we fucking knock it off with the ‘but am i VALID to be an aro who likes shipping?????’ stuff #like yeah dog you and fucking Everybody Else in fandom #a small handful of ‘im too aro for this’ from the handful of Yes Including Fiction Yes All Of It romance repulsed aros #are not persecuting you or taking away your aro card #anyways that goes along with my general opinion that #going around asking people Is It Valid To Be X Identity And Have Y Experience Or Opinion #is a fundamentally useless and unhelpful thing to do #and is unfair to yourself and to the person you're asking #bc you're placing your like #ability to Have An Identity in someone else's hands #which they did not ask for #and is not theirs to give or not give anyway #this one just super extra annoys me lmao #'am i valid if i'm an aro who still likes shipping?????' well if you weren't #most aros wouldn't be ValidTM #because that is not unusual at all #you know what IS unusual? #being the big mean aro in the corner who DOESN'T like shipping #no none of it yes including that one I Do Mean All

A moment from [S] Cascade for this Homestuck day. Haven't drawn them in a minute! I've missed Homestuck.

Happy 4/13, everyone!

I've always been a bit unsure with how I draw Animal in my style. I'm always worried I make him look too cutesy compared to how his character is portrayed as more wild and unpredictable.

But when you guys comment, message, or leave in the tags saying that if there were to be an animated Muppets show you'd want my design of Animal to be how he looks, is just the most sweetest, heart warming thing ever and is the highest form of a compliment I could ever hope to get!

I've always loved cartoons and admired all the effort that goes into even making a small five second piece of animation. Animation has always been something I've wanted to try but I've never really had the confidence nor the time to properly invest in learning the skill, but you guys saying MY Animal design is what you'd want to see in animation?? I don't even think there are enough words I can use to describe how amazing that makes me feel! Thank you for liking my art and the way I draw the crazy drummer man!!

#Those types of comments are the reason I will just smile and giggle to myself randomly through out the day #It make me so so happy! #Animal has become one of my favourites so I always try to draw him well #I'm just super happy you all seem to like his design!! #The Muppets #Muppets #Animal

the real question is, where will all the asian artists migrate to

#*shakes my hand @ Elon* now where am I going to find my carefully curated yuri and yaoi #you need to use 38595 exclusion tags to avoid being scarred for life on pixiv #and tumblr is all fine and dandy for the mutuals and writing your showet thoughts but I don't think it's super accessible for everyone #but I liked seeing artists sharing their creative process! And paleontologists talking about their research! #How am I supposed to see the Mexican translator and localizator of a manga talk about his method??? #I'm happy that Musk is rolling inside a garbage can on fire but also he's destroying one of the ways we could interact with people #from all over the world. what are the alternativea

So is no one gonna write a fic where Tighnari's dad comes back from the desert bearing gifts for his son and his family, but said family (Cyno and Collei) didn't know they were known as his husband and daughter respectively? Cyno plays into it to watch Tighnari suffer, and Collei is just :) ? The whole time.

No? I guess I'll have to try and write it myself...

#guys I'm hilarious #also Tighnari's dad in my head is very extroverted #he's not super loud cause he has sensitive ears too but definitely is one of those 'embarrassing parents' #he's just so happy to see his son has a job he loves and a family and he wants them to know that he LOVES anyone his son likes #Tighnari is just. “oh god please no” the whole time #cyno has a shit eating grin on as he buddies up to his dad like “let me help you with that” and “it's so good to finally meet you sir” #or he's still tryna come off broody and mysterious as the General Mahamatra at first. no in between. #collei is just !!! #i love her she's my baby #genshin impact #arlo's #tighnari #cyno #cynari #cynonari #collei #Tighnari's dad

Me: oh no, my stomach has been acting up a lot for 2 weeks already, and I have a trip to England in a few days... Google: You can't use Imodium for more than 48h!!! Me: Ah, shit. A literal shit! Me: Doctor, please, is there any medication for IBS? Doctor: No, unfortunately. Imodium typically helps. Me: I've been using it and it does help. How long can I use it in one go? Doctor: Up to 3 weeks. Here's a prescription for you. Just take less when your symptoms start to subside. Me: Oh heaven's bless QuQ

#if you don't know how it is to live with a stomach #which will shit out everything you put inside when the flaring happens #when eating ANYTHING is like playing Russian roulette with diarrhea #where you NEED TO go to a toilet in THAT INSTANT and not 5 minutes later #be SUPER HAPPY #this is a genetic family curse from both parents' side #this is what happens when your families live in the same fucking 200km area for at least 650 years #breeding with one another #I've been really stressed out lately with everything #with finances and the job #the company I work in has gone to bankruptcy and I'm pretty much waiting for them to kick me out #Patreon income has dried to 1/3 since I stopped drawing FUZZY #PMS isn't helping this at all #the IUD has been a blessing but it hasn't taken all of PMS away #which it apparently even doesn't do #tmi #niu's life #i need the new job #something where I can operate despite by diseases

talking to a friend about getting back into art and i think the #1 most important piece of art advice i could ever get or give is just "figure out what is FUN to you"

like i think there is sooooo much emphasis on how to build SKILL in art but a lot of it really treats art like a job or like video game grinding, like it's this thankless job that you have to work at in order to reach a Threshold and i know it's not EASY to make yourself have fun but like

imo a solid 70% of the reason i create art is because the Act of Drawing is fun to me. it's fun problem-solving and planning and putting down lines and playing with colors and tools. it's fun to depict little scenes in my head or to create outfits or to find ways to fill the canvas. never forget that creating can be fun. sometimes it's hard and sometimes you have to battle through your own blockades to get there but the ultimate goal should always be to ENJOY it, to find what you enjoy doing and then do it forever. improvement will follow enjoyment.

i think especially with all the debate about ML image generation it's more important than ever to embrace FUN. if you're only focused on the end result it's so easy to get in your own head- to think about what doesn't look good or what skills you don't have yet or to compare yourself to other artists. but photography didn't kill the art of drawing and AI won't either because, simply put, there will always be people who want to do the physical act of making art because it's fun to do! using paints and markers, splashing colors around, doing shitty pen doodles, using the symmetry tool in your art program to do abstract mandalas that are just squiggles formed into patterns. do art like you're 5 and you've been handed markers to pass the time. do art like you're bored in class and you're keeping your brain entertained by drawing stick figure comics in the margins. do art like an absent thing, do art because it satisfies your brain. the goal is not to make something beautiful and perfect, the goal is to make something because your hands need to make and your body needs to make.

#i know and love so many people who have intense anxiety about their ability to create art and who are so hard on themselves about the result #and i think that's a REALLY easy thing to feel because creating is also vulnerable & physically difficult and there is SOOOO much to master #but i think for me the people who churn out 300 colored pencil front facing hands behind their backs oc doodles on lined notebook paper- #are the ones with the right idea. they're the ones i aspire to be like #i'm not saying i never struggle either bc tbh #as someone with depression and adhd there are times where the Act of Having Fun is simply not possible #sometimes i CAN'T enjoy things because my ability to feel joy is locked behind a barrier of my mental illness #so i don't think it's an Easy thing to do by far and I don't think you can just Magically Make Yourself Happy And Having Fun #but i DO think that experimenting in a low-stakes low-pressure manner until you find something that clicks in your brain helps #doing things for the sake of doing them is the only way to figure out which ones WILL be fun to you #not all of them will. some things will feel like a slog #but i think you have to look for the passion before you're able to face the slog #if you jump right into the parts that are Hard and Challenge Your Limits it's easy to spin your wheels and get stuck #but if you focus on the super small stakes and the things that are thoughtless and focused more on Sensation- #the sensory experience of mixing paint or the scratch of pencil on paper or the smooth way a specific pen makes lines- #then you can lose yourself in the physical aspect of it FIRST #and then once you've started really ENJOYING those sensations you can start learning new ways to use them #because now you have the drive to want to do more #now you have the desire to find new ways to apply this thing you like doing #long post #even longer tags #art #drawing #artists #art advice

whenever i tell my mom that they made fun of me at class for liking taylor or anything of the sorts she says "i kinda understand them because they see you as an obsessive fan and childish" ... excuse me?

the whole concept of "fangirls are obsessive, weird and annoying" comes, in my opinion, from a clear place of misogyny and i think that as of today a lot of people have finally realized it... is the same thing said about men who engage in fights and scream like animals when their favorite football/soccer team scores? no! for them that's "for the love of the game"

no one is childish for simply being excited about something they enjoy (and taylor has said this herself), everything that makes you happy is worth it and no one should make you feel bad about it. i like taylor's music and it brings me comfort, makes me feel seen or brings me up when i'm down (and i could keep going but that's not the point), that's why i get excited when she does ssomething or my friends bring her up in a conversation, that's literally all

#taylor swift #rant #i'm just tired of this sry #this is because today is world book day so my best friend and i gifted each other a book #and she bought me one about taylor's musical evolution through her eras so obviously i got super excited #i went running over to the girl who is coming to the concert with me to show her and then came back to hug my best friend #and everyone around (even the teacher who was opening the door) was looking at me weirdly or laughing jsakjsd like sorry for being happy ig #the teacher told my friend '...it's something related to taylor swift isn't it...? 😐' hell yeah it is. if you don't like it look away

really wish people would read blog rules more, it makes running blogs like this very low reward and you feel like a machine if people aren't commenting and aren't even abiding by one of the, honestly, very few and politely phrased rules i even have

#then i'm left trying not to respond like a bitch when the rules are there in the first place so i don't have to have negative interactions #with the people who come to this blog #like keeping it 100 you write for yourself but you write for ENGAGEMENT and COMMUNITY #and these days in fandom there really is no community #for any fandom across the board #people see something and move on #that's bad enough at killing fandoms #but the fact that a creator can have really only one super hard rule and it gets disregarded every day #day in and day out! and i really mean it this rule gets broken in my inbox DAILY man! #i write for a lot of small fandoms or smaller characters i love the characters i'm happy to do it #but i have an adult job. college. friends. family. my own original creative projects #and even if i don't respond to the asks where people are blatantly violating /again/ #one of my FEW rules #it's exhausting to even see it !!! #it makes me not feel like a person #who cares what the girl behind the screen asked me not to do? right?? but i'm about done #i'm only at my breaking point because i've had this blog now for what three or four years?? #and no matter how i phrase the rule people break it #no matter how many reminder posts #it's exhausting because it's an every day daily thing #idk maybe i'll feel better abt it in the morning but i'm getting exhausted tbh #exhausted as in this blog might be going BYE BYE i wont delete i think you'd have it up until tumblr goes away but i am getting pissed off #TRULY pissed off bc it's been years of me asking cmon now

I've finished another animatic!!! I've been working on this one for a little over a year now, and I'm so happy with how it turned out!

Here's the YouTube link for anyone that wants to watch it over there :)

This one follows the story of @antnutella-blog's and my dnd characters. Their lore will be under the cut <3

Characters:

Dragonborn - Sybil (she/any)

Aarakocra - Wetherby (she/her)

Half orc - Valscez "Val" (he/him)

Tiefling - Nyx (he/him)

Story:

Sybil was a pirate sailing the seas and terrorizing the Lucidian Ocean alongside her partner, Wetherby. She loved living out on the open waters, but she was at odds with their captain, Covell the Fierce, growing frustrated enough with him to attempt a mutiny against him. But even with Wetherby's aid, the mutiny was unsuccessful. In a panic, Sybil managed to escape, but in turn she abandoned Wetherby at the wrath of Covell. Feeling guilty but having survived, Sybil decided to run, leaving her seafaring life—and Wetherby—behind.

Val and Nyx grew up in Shadycreek Run together. Childhood friends to lovers, their hearts were in good places, but their circumstances led them to a life of crime. Nyx joined the Myriad, and Val tagged along as his bodyguard. It was all cut short when Nyx was allegedly killed. Having no reason to stay with the Myriad any longer, Val left to become a paladin of Bahamut.

The two met on their journeys across the continent, meeting new friends and eventually becoming a true adventuring party.

While they travelled, Tiamat came to Val with an offering to bring Nyx back from the dead, and Sybil discovered that Wetherby was still alive. Though it went against everything Val stood for, he accepted Tiamat's offer. The party followed these leads back westward across Wildemount with Wetherby as their guide, and they found Nyx in Nicodranas, working as a sailor. It turned out that Nyx had faked his death and started a new life away from the Myriad, but not wanting to get involved with a betrayer god, he rejected Val when they initially reunited. In turn, Val severed his connection with Tiamat and started to reconcile.

Meanwhile, Sybil and Wetherby slowly reconnected, enjoying each other's company while Sybil tried to forgive herself for all her mistakes. However, when they all ended up on the same ship heading to Darktow, it was revealed that Wetherby had been leading them into a trap. She briefly took Nyx hostage while an enemy ship approached, and slit his throat when he tried to fight back. Sybil made a quick and painful decision to take Wetherby out, but it was already too late for Nyx.

#Ant threatened me if I didn't post the thumbnail so that's tacked on here too <3 #also this campaign Did take place in Exandria!! one Kingsley Tealeaf makes one (1) cameo in this video lol #I also snuck in a dnd!Shinya and one of my other characters :) #anyways I worked super hard on this one and I'm incredibly happy with how it turned out so I hope you like it too <3 #I already made some friends cry :) #Val and Sybil are solidarity besties btw #also dw about Nyx!! he was revived and he and Val got married once everything was sorted out :) #quillnart #quillnocs #original character #dnd character #dnd #dungeons and dragons #animatic #animators on tumblr #artists of tumblr #Requiem stuff

just a reminder that i do look at my activity and see the tags yall use when u rb my stuff

#someone reblogged my jellybean hoodie with the tags 'i love simlish kpop cc but those s*z swatches are getting deleted' #which is like #it's fine to dislike a kpop group #(although i think this person is an anti which is just embarazzing to me) #and it's also 100% fine to delete swatches #i do it for every single piece of cc i download in order to keep my mods folder as small as possible #but saying that in the tags feels very weird and unnecessary to me #i know it's not directed at ME but it feels like it because i'm the one who spent time making those swatches lol #not to mention my friend who spent time making the simlish album covers which is way more work #AND my other friend who made the simlish maniac logo #maybe i'm overreacting and being too sensitive - given that this comment was not directed at me in any way #but it just annoyed me #that being said -- i do also see the positive comments and they make me super happy #so thank you to all the nice people and fuck you to this weirdo
