#brand testing

[bob-artist]

Hi, New People?

For some unfathomable reason, Tumblr has decided to suggest my blog to brand-new accounts to follow, so I've had a crazy influx of followers who, of the ones that are genuine accounts, probably have no idea what they've signed up for. (sorry.)

Oh, and I also have some new bittern-loving followers who have a slightly better idea but might not know the whole story!

So, here's your chance to escape, if you so choose.

Anyway, I'm Bob! I've been here since like 2012. I mostly make comics, but I also do some prose writing, game dev, and general shitposting. Should you choose to continue following me, you will be subjected to such content as

Canada geese.

Like... a LOT of Canada geese.

Also ferrets, the love of my life. And other art and general musings about my favorite animals, including but not limited to bitterns, grebes, pheasants, parrots, crayfish, eels, every single other type of mustelid, alpacas, etc.

But, because I can't be bothered to make myself a consistent "brand," I also make

Very Gay Comics.

I can't emphasize this enough, because I kinda suspect all those plumbing company blogs didn't know this before following me. I make very gay comics.

I'm working on a new webcomic called Into the Smoke that's gonna launch soon. It's about a gay medium who binds himself to a killer ghost, and I think my new follower with the car financing blog is gonna love it.

Lots more on that soon.

Anyway, I don't want to make a super long post. I just want to make sure y'all understand that if you follow me, you will get

Canada geese

and

Very Gay Comics.

Cool? Cool.

#huh maybe i have a brand after all #artists on tumblr #intro post #I thought they were ALL spambots till I made a new test account and was prompted to follow myself before I could even set a user pic #so I’m sorry if I blocked any actual accounts before that #but not sorry to the ones that clearly were spambots

Test Track AU (T$$ AU Masterlist)

previous /// next (cw: injection)

combined suggestions from two different anons!

to answer the question posed in the branding ask: the shape of the brand wouldn't necessarily have a psychological impact, but that could change if it were permanent :)

the vegetarian/fake meat tech is getting so advanced, they're finally, Truly mastering the boss fight that is Texture and i'm so glad. i love it when the cooking result is "damn that's tasty! AND i enjoy chewing it??? it is properly toothsome?" and not the uncanny valley of mouthfeel and fla-vor

thanks uuuuuh [scurries afk to check the bag then scurries back] Daring. plant based chicken pieces. yeah you gets a recommendation from me to the veggies in the audience. now all you have to do is stop being expensive as fuque along with everything else in the store these days lmao

#sporadic warbling #fr tho all i did was add a little herbed salt and adobo just to keep it simple as a baseline test of trying a new brand & its great #i would have not at all questioned it if this was fed to me under the impression it was real chicken #and i'm usually the first person to call bullshit on that type of claim even if i'm gonna eat it anyway #with an actual re-sippy involved this would kick So much ass

✰ ON THE BRIGHT SIDE, GOT THE WRONG INSIDES. ✰

THEO RAEKEN: THE KINTSUGI KID “Real pain is emotional pain. That is the kind of pain that lasts.” 

#it’s theo’s false tears of deceit versus these moments of real emotion slipping through. the terror of letting himself feel. #the impossibility of it. and then it’s the dread doctors’ syringe and how carelessly and callously he would give life back and rip it away #doling out both resurrection and murder with this drilled-in emotional distance. perfecting every action to be so necessarily heartless #because bodies were test sites and weapons and /his/ body was an appendage in itself of someone else’s agenda— #versus his own flesh upon gabe’s in this one selfless moment. and how his touch is gentle and light and his hesitance underscores every beat #and how inundating the revelation is—that he’s capable of this. that it's all possible for him. #and how perilous it must be to look forward from that post-hell hinge point and know that the death of the myth he was promised is only the #beginning of his life. and all of this is difficult and painful in ways that are brand new but must (avowedly/somehow/please) #be worth that pain. #theo raeken #flashing gif #tw: blood #twedit #teenwolfedit #teen wolf #fyteenwolf #cody christian #tvedit #fall out boy #so much (for) stardust #there's something so staggering about the fact that theo (in cody's imagination) stays. #he's not much of a pack animal and scott's never going to forgive him and it doesn't matter who forgets because mason won't and #he'sbarelyevenhumanlikeacheapknockoffdotheylookredtoyouithinkyoupushedherandithinkyoulikedit and #he stays. #like. i don’t know how i’m expected to be okay about any of this! i’m undone!! it’s shattering and stunning #and so is the kintsugi kid in the context of like. my insides are copper and i’d kill to make them gold / do you ever get the feeling that #your insides and your outsides don’t really go together? / i wonder at the way that someone can write thousands and thousands of pages about #my insides / it’s about feeling all right and feeling safe in your own skin / on the bright side got the wrong insides !! #and [back to theo] this chorus as a callback to ‘when i’m just the ghost of nothing nothing’ in from now on we are enemies #anyway . will the real hard hard pills to swallow please stand up.

i saw too many “what kind of intelligent are you” quiz ads on instagram so i decided to even it out a little…

This seems to confirm it is the 2024 helmet.

oh interesting 👀

(link)

#as i think more about it...VERY interesting to me that both daniel AND yuki seemed to have helmets nearly identical to last year #just with updated color schemes and branding #maybe i'm wrong but i feel like generally they announce their helmets a bit closer to testing than literally at the launch? #so perhaps this WAS just for the launch who knows #now that we're talking about it i'm like: hmm.......... #dan #at24 #answered #anonymous

Purina apparently discontinued and then reformulated the only canned food I've found so far that Griffin's extraordinarily sensitive tummy can tolerate, adding one of his potential worst allergens to nearly the top of the formulation list. I have sent a Karen-like e-mail to Purina, and am now having to have five million tabs open on different pet food websites to put the ingredient lists of everything under a microscope to try and find something remotely close.

#(look he's my special boy he has very special needs) #like he has one brand of dry dog food he can eat #so he won't starve #but he gets the canned wet food on top because of other gi issues #related to last year's emergency surgery #but on an unrelated rant: why the FUCK would you put LIVER in your sensitive stomach formula #it literally registers as a 5000 on griffin's allergy test #i believe 80 was the cutoff limit before it starts causing problems #so like he had some cranberry supplements he was getting after a uti #that had beef liver in it #and it would immediately start him on an episode that would take several days to calm his stomach down #so if i had not looked at that ingredient label and started feeding him this #i would have had at the very least a giant mess to clean up

Overall adderal seems to be helping. But I truly cannot feel I’m hungry anymore. I already couldn’t till it was p late but it made it worse.

So I’ll legit have this moment where I’m like WHY AM I PANIC ATTACK NERVOUS AND ALMOST SHAKEY??? EVERYTHINGS FINE??? And then I’ll be like, ah shit maybe I’m hungry? Am I hungry? Should I eat?

And sometimes it’s easy and my body is also doing hypoglycemic things, but other times (like now) I’m like MAYBE??? But I don’t feel awful… i could be over stimmed….???

Anway, gonna try some peanut butter and jelly toast and see if the world is better

#irl shit #mel babbles #mel whines #adhd issues #adderal issues #it’s off brand but #hypoglycemic tendencies #docs tested me and said I’m normal even tho I feel all the symptoms of it #cries in can’t trust my brain

hi friends, keep my adi girl in your thoughts ❤️ she isn’t feeling too great and was monitored all day at the vet

#the vet thinks she ate something bad? which is as on brand today as it was 11 years ago #she’s coming home tonight but needs to go back tomorrow when the blood test results are back #she went for a 3 mile hike yesterday so it’s very sudden :-(

7 deadly art sins

this whole video is super quotable like i keep pausing to yell in discord bout it but. a fantastic ref for artists of all kinds but i have to pull out these quotes:

"you're not perfecting your craft, you're shielding yourself from vulnerability"

&

you ever see the opening act of a concert that the crowd isn't really into, but they go "hey…y'all excited for the headliner?" the crowd goes like "woo!" are those the cheers you want? status without substance? are you okay with that? do you want to get a million hits on your content because you connived your way into it? or because people loved it so much they wanted to experience it a million times? does it matter to you where your glory comes from? because it should.

#this entire video is incredible #honorary mention to this quote: #“heres a test! make something beautiful.and then.delete it. I DO THAT FOR FUN SOMETIMES. BITCH.” #the distinction between direct marketing and brand marketing is chefs kiss. #hold my hand we'll make fun stuff together for no reason other than making fun stuff #we'll make stuff and find other stuff that is good and say nice things about it #we'll make things because we care and maybe someone else will see it and it will matter to them too #this world is so beautiful and uncomplicated #cj the x #Youtube
