#and its what the popular blogs post

[strange-creature-with-a-hat]

The neat thing about being a Will Wood fan is that you find this decently sized community of people who like this guy and you're like "wow look at all these people I can talk to!" But it definitely isn't that BIG of a community

But after a while you realize that they're everywhere, the best example I can give is that I'm in quite a few different discord servers, for quite a few different things, and I can't name one active server that doesn't have at least one or two Will Wood fans™ and its not like it's always the same people

Idk I just find it really Interesting and cool

#What is it about this guys music that causes such a grasp on so many different communities?? #I would try to figure it out but I'm afraid my conclusion would be biased because he's my favorite artist #Like I checked out the blog of a TGS fan that liked my Jekyll and Hyde post and they said somewhere that their favorite song was a WW song #Maybe I'm just good at spotting WW fans?? #creatures ted talks #wee woo #will wood #will wood and the tapeworms #wi wo #wwattw #no tumblr i don't want to tag this as wwe #its fun looking at someones carrd or spacehey and unexpectedly seeing Will Wood in the section about music #it's like he's popular #But he's not? #Also I know I could've said “fandom” in place of community but whatever #Why do I always talk so much in tags?

Tangentially related to some of the discussion i posted earlier but quiet literally the first RW Art Month i participated I did it completely on whim like, one day before it started. And I mostly did it because I hadn't drawn a ton of rain world and wanted to draw more. Fandom presence was a lot smaller than and I was one of a handful of artists who did the entire thing. Fast forward and I still do Art Month and I've gotten to work with VC directly. But it was quite literally something I decided to do completely on whim that set the ball rolling, and for something a lil more niche and certainly with a lot more dev/fandom art involvement than most. It's really random how and why you might get noticed more than usual, especially with the "toss it into the search and hope it pays out' mechanism of Socmed

#t.extpost #and im hardly the fanciest art month artist out there so it wasnt even about being a jaw droppingly talented artist or whatever #and while artmonth for rw is still given a huge focus its also a much much bigger thing now with a much bigger number of participants #which is cool! its awesome how many people i saw do most if not all of last art month! and VC is really good about not just repping the #most popular artists or fanciest pieces #but theres So Much More there now and while its great for finding artists its also impossible to get Everyone in there you know? #Although they absolutely try #And this is like. one of the most fanartist involved devs ive ever seen in terms of both celebrating the art their fans make and actively #bringing those fans in to contribute #and its /still/ hard to get going just because thats how Posting is #i used to be more of a hk artist which is both a huge fandom and riddled with stunning artists but theres So Many #and niche fandoms are niche so youre more likely to connect with people but less likely to see a ton of engagement regularly - #probably best example i have for that was being briefly fixated on patapon. #Its just messy to try and find the hack that sets you up #just have fun and jump around and make what you like #get a sense of feeling for your style and some people will stick around for that vs. strictly the subject matter #others will look up the thing you switched too and some wont engage #you cant really control it #so have fun and draw that thing you randomly thought about at 2 am that doesnt match your blog #draw for that forgotten rpg you liked when you were 15 or draw for the 70 player max steam game you played for this week #you never really know what will happen #but its not really worth worrying about what will happen either

//ooc hi it's me the anon who just sent in the most targeted monologue I could think of. the "do you ever think about" one. you have been giving me Davesprite Thoughts for several weeks so I shoved it in an ask. hope its devastating to him/pos!!

ps. I love this blog so much actually keep doin what ur doin!!!!

ooc

i love you so fucking much holy shit /p you get it. you fucking get it. dsprite feeling like he was responsible at least in part for all of his friends dying, and literally sacrificing himself, his identity and his *humanity* to save them, only for them to just. overlook him in favour of the 'real' him. the one that didnt fuck everything up for them. does he feel like he deserves it? does he think that its some form of karma for the way he let them all down and let them die (or in roses - his *sisters* case - literally killing them?) fuck, would he even *tell* them what happened in his old timeline? or would he just make vague allusions and stupid jokes because maybe if he doesnt tell them, he can have a second chance with them (a second chance that he doesnt really deserve after lying to them). maybe he can eventually win them back. sure, hes never going to be the 'real dave' again, not while the other dave is around, but maybe he can be more than just the spare dead bird dave that should have stayed dead

or maybe he shouldnt even try and should just save himself the pain of when it inevitably fails. they deserve better than just the weird bargain bin dave, right?

idk ill never stop thinking about this orange motherfucker and im glad i managed to infect someone else with the Davesprite Thoughts

#davesprite #homestuck #he drives me insane. every day #i have more but i dont want to turn this into a full on essay #also tyty >:) this blog was initially just a way to contain *my* davesprite brainrot somewhere that wasnt just spamming my main/insta/ #discord servers #the fact that its gotten so popular and so many people seem to genuinely like it is. wild! like what the fuck theres 200 of you?? #/pos /pos as shit just. goddamn yk #ooc post

curious is classic or EU companions ever stood a chance, not passing any judgement, even if you call yourself a fan becuase you've seen one episode, still fully consider you a fan

can’t stop intellectualizing about barbie

#maybe ill post a rant later #tales from diana #it's funny. i've written a lot in my private diaries and notebooks about how much i love dolls and have always loved dolls #and what an impact they've had on me personally and wider popular culture #and why i view them as both products and art #etc etc etc #but i dont really try and convince others of those points even on this personal blog where ill rant about truly ANYTHING stupid i want #its not like im worried about anyone judging or tearing apart my opinions (my followers first of all would never) #(i dont think tumblr generally would either. maybe some pockets of tumblr but theyd have to find it somehow) #i guess for me its just a very introspective topic first of all bc it goes back to my early childhood and covers basically all of my life #and i dont assume the history of my life is something that interests most people very much #like most ppl dont really wanna hear about how many similarities i find between playing w dolls and writing poems #(altho ive written and posted poems on that topic before!) #it would be interesting specifically to ppl who know me well. which is probably why ive also talked about this a lot w my sister #kaily and i would literally play games of dolls that would last entire days for like several days in a row #playing w dolls was my FAVORITE thing in the world hands down as a kid. and it did so much good for me #but also barbie and other fashion dolls are so culturally and historically significant and impactful in many underappreciated ways #justice to all doll lovers. xoxoxox

this is why i just cant accept white lesbians who say kill all men in general. butch please, it's not subversive when you DO actively benefit from and participate in the dehumanization, subjugation, and slaughter of black and brown men. intersectional feminism doesn't just mean ~women and femmes~, it includes racial justice on all levels, for ALL racialized people.

#if u arent white u cool but tbh still on thin ice #ill shittalk machismo obsessed cholos all day but im not gonna say shit about other men of color #i literally just had to block a radfem i randomly saw and there was a popular radfem post on her blog #being like WHITE MEN ARENT THE WORST #ITS MEN OF OTHER RACES WHO ARE THE WORST!! and then they listed a bunch of different ethnicities alongside #literal racist stereotypes about the men belonging to that ethnicity #u wanna be a radfem? for what?? the simple joy you get being a racist white lady??? not worth it

#just thinking about the engagement on my art blog again #why is there so little why dont people talk to me about the things i make #the only times the numbers arent trash are when it's something for an event #and when i say 'not trash' i mean 'above 50' #which is already a low bar #its like #art is my life. it's what i'm good at. it's one of the only things i'm good at. #so forgive me if i have a hard time believing i'm so unremarkable as the reblogs would suggest #i know i dont post that often but there's no fucking way that's the only problem #even a lot of people im close to dont reblog my art #like damn yall what am i missing what am i doing so wrong that im not realizing #or am i just failing an inscrutable vibe check on every single post ive ever made #i dont want to spam self rbs i dont want to guilt trip i dont want to make it about the numbers #its not about the numbers. its not. its just that the response i get is so small #most of my recent posts dont even receive comment-type tags #im doing everything i can. i genuinely just want to know what im missing #is it my timing? my tagging? my art style? do i just have rancid vibes #literally genuinely tell me if theres something wrong with how ive been posting my art since i literally made an art blog #because i've had that blog for like 6 years and this is where we're at #like. the hs fandom is big and i draw popular characters. #i'd like to think i draw them *well* but i suppose that's subjective #still though. what so fuck #ok literally if i dwell on this any more ill just get depressed and i do have to go to bed anyway #but like. if you have feedback for my art blog. i frankly have no idea what to do

Thinking about Berserk again. I havent read any of the new chapters because Miura's death kind of got to me really bad so thinking about or talking about berserk at all just made me really depressed and I think I probably havent even looked at it since he passed (after I used to reread huge chunks of it like every week) but now its been like two years and Im thinking I should just accept it and give the new stuff a shot.

One thing I am always thinking about though is how Miura's death effected discussion around Berserk and how much it will continue to effect discussion. Like, I always felt Berserk never got enough criticism. You can search Berserk on here and find all my old posts complaining about how everybody was jumping the gun on calling it One Of The Greatest Manga Ever when it wasnt even done and at the time most people were convinced it hadnt been good since like what, conviction arc? And that was back before Kentaro Miura died and his death has only made the discussion even more like "Berserk is a beautiful wonderful masterpiece and anyone with problems doesnt GET IT".

So like I stopped reading under the idea that no matter what happened it wasnt gonna be what REALLY shouldve happened, now I think thats kind of unfair and maybe I should give it a shot, but I think that idea is gonna be influencing how people talk about a manga that was already being given alot of undue praise and adoration from people who seemed to mostly never have actually read it and had nothing more interesting to say about it beyond it being the manga that popularized the idea of a guy with a big big sword. I dunno.

#Also when Miura died and everybodys first questions were like what was gonna happen to berserk. I dunno #I might be lying I might just never get back to it. #Berserk still very important to me but also the fact that it is continuing at all. I dunno I guess I dont know what Miura wouldve wanted #but it kind of seems nobody did and I have this feeling in my mind of like 'is the only reason they continued Berserk is because- #-its so profitable'. but I dont know enough about the current mangaka or like Anything to really say that without feeling like a jerk. #yeah somebody liked one of my really old berserk posts so I started thinking about how much I used to talk about Berserk but also #have just been thinking alot about it again in general. I dunno.............. #also when I say got depressed I mean I got convinced art was stupid and pointless for a second it was fucking bad #Like this is kind of the one time ever a celebrity dying really got to me and it was because like he was gone and everybody was just #asking about when berserk was gonna continue and again the nicest thing most people said about berserk was it #popularizing a trope in anime. It made me feel hopeless #Fine now. been two years. Sad situation but I dont think thats gonna be all berserk gets remembered for now. #yeah this is long and rambly sorry. MY blog I can start posting about berserk really sadly out of nowhere.

screaming bc theres a song (no i wont tell u what one but its by an artisit i dont listen to rly to much except for the last two days but i do like what of her music iv heard) that like. i rly feel like fits a ship (I WILL DEFF NOT TELL U WHICH ONE !!!!! but its like. not one i rly ship tht much but i do think its cute and im slowly getting more into it) in like. a weird way bc like. im not like omg this song is so this ship its so cute i mean the first time i listened to the song which was a while back when it first came out i was like this feels like ppl r gonna talk abt it w tht ship or like the song feels very like. like a fanfiction to me like generally and to me i feel like its like a modern au fanfic for the ship nd i listened to the song again today nd iv been thinking abt tht but the thing is i looked to see if anyone in any context has put that ship with that song before expecting to find lots of stuff but i literally found NOTHING its ubsurddd !!!

#like. searched tumblr w the ship + song name nd the ship + artist name? no results #went to google w either? just got results w either the ship or the song or tumblr blogs #that showed up bc they had prob posted seperate posts abt the musicain/song and the ship #and like. a fucking archive.org pdf of a totally unrelated article on the first page of google #searched the artist and song name on ao3 showing only options with that ship #in hopes id find a fic titled after a lyric from the song w that in the description? #no resulfs either!! #like i feel insane how has no one ever pointed out this ship w this song ever #i do NOT!! want to be the first one babes. esp since no i feel like im almost definatly wrong #abt it fitting the ship. but i mean im also not thats someone modern au fanfic of them as a song #i mean like. i dont rly ship the ship as said but iv seen what theyre fromm !!!! #okay. the friendship between one of the characters in the ship and another character is a part of like. #why it fits bc w like the framing device of the song it fits #so perhaps i am putting too much emphasis on that friendship idk how much ppl care esp in the context of tht ship alongside it #but they shld care more abt tht friendship like ik general tbh. bc i care more abt tht then the ship tbhh 😭😭 #also like. i feel a littol dumb for not realising this earlier but maybe its bc the song is like. #a bit of a timeline on the relationship nd loke. dowsnt mention any point of any dislike #at the beginning and i think that is a thing with is ship but also COME ONN #the song doesnt need to encapsulate every single moment or aspect of the ship for someone somewhere to say it fits #im also kind of like how in character is this but i mean like. its a big the most popular probably ship in a fandom theres lots of ppl who #dont care if its in character thats not a reason someone wldnt have mentioned it either #ik its like. not a big deal ig but im so baffled tht like. no one seems to have seen this popular ship and i think prettty popular when it #released (and that was last! year!) song together that iv become obsessed w finding someone who has #im going to look thru spotify playlists for the ship and ao3 more thoroughly later bit rn im making pancakes <3 #flappy rambles #EDIT: also for cotext in not telling the ship not bc i think its ‘cringe’ its bc ik many of u ship it #and again. dont want to b the weird oe w this song that made me think others wld associate it w thw ship #which apparently not a soul hasss !!!!! which is like i said freaking me out a lil bc im sure someone wld have
