i need some of you to realize that call out culture, by design, rewards people who make the most outrageous & aggressive accusations, without regards to truth or context. it encourages people to misconstrue, to erase context, to outright lie. it feeds the instinct to attack, with or without cause. 

and that naturally enables certain types of people (terfs, exclusionists, bigots) who already have a vitriolic bandwagon behind them, to target & harass minority bloggers whose inclusive platforms they do not like to see becoming popular.

this has happened time and again, it has driven good people off this site, it is traumatic and unhealthy to everyone involved. purity culture creates an atmosphere of fear & paranoia, i am begging you to reexamine this attitude of mob violence in online spaces

so pixar is making a movie about two boys who have a secret that they share with each other and hide from everyone else so people don’t think they’re weird. i wonder what that could possibly be an allegory for...

have you considered that posting your shitty mspaint drawings on here and getting hundreds and even thousands of notes for them is disrespectful to actual talented artists who can barely get 10 likes on their art. just something to think about.

i'm not posting it for notes

Have you ever looked at floating plants

From a fish’s point of view?

AND i was correct, compared to the hole i dug myself into with drawing Zelda, drawing this gentle hooligan was TOO easy 🙆‍♂️🙆‍♂️

some of this was purely self indulgent because it took a lot less practice to be consistent LOL, at first how puckish his face came out kind of bothered me but honestly ? its true to his personality

the only bit that gave me a headache really was how scarred is TOO scarred ... iirc a fair few NPCs state that he's covered in them so at least i dont have to feel bad about hurting my boy fhjdkfjdk

thanks to @newtsnaturethings @aquaticpal @flydunes & @lynkhart for the help with poses when my brain imploded for a bit there lol ... and shout to the ladle run

look at this funky lad [marge with potato] i just think he's neat!

“ it's not like you've ever tried to stay ”

I've received some criticism for accepting commissioned posts, so I want to clarify

this blog & the content I produce is currently my only means of income

I'm saving to escape a toxic household

tumblr is notoriously difficult for content-creators to monetize

I accept ko-fi / paypal / commissions instead of reblogging 'sponsored' content (ads from fashion retailers or Adam & Eve) the way most blogs my size do. I don't want this space to feel impersonal; reader support allows me to avoid commercial advertising.

I'm doing my best. I've spent years putting in full-time hours on a blog that has only just started paying part-time wages. eventually I would like to make a living writing traditionally published content, but that's a long ways off. for now I'm just trying to get by, and trying to write fun and weird and (hopefully) surprisingly helpful content on the platform I have. please bear with me. I'm simply trying to turn an obsessive passionate hobby into something I can live (frugally) on.

hi i moved them around feel free to use for stuff theyre transparent JLKSDJF

Calcifer was being very feisty today with the camera lens
