#its a beautiful day to be on tumblr

[swamp-cryptids]

to me this line is like, where harry reaches the closest thing to self actualization within the text of the game. he doesn't desire to be a different kind of animal anymore. its such a kind thing to say to himself about a quality that in his line of work could very much be perceived as a flaw. idk i just like it

#im probably gonna put something close to this in my video but i just. yeah #disco elysium spoilers #ANNIE AND FEARGHUS DON'T READ #but like the way the phasmid goes on to say that it empathizes with harry/humanity itself due to its sensitivity #to have that experience which is so accepted and brushed off in day to day life be heard and sympathized with #something something the way disco elysium presents humanity's unique consciousness as something that is often overwhelmig and horrifying #and forgives harry for being overwhelmed by that sensitivity and consciousness and congratulating him for even reaching this point #IDFKKKKK #the noid line thats like consciousness is new to the universe we all have our ways to ease the shock #literally been thinking about it for WEEKS #the way we interface with the world is unique and beautiful but it can also be terrifying and devastating so its ok to be scared #even if it feels like everyone else is fine #getting personal in the tumblr tags ummm #disco elysium #disco elysium meta #harry du bois #insulindian phasmid

shoutout to you and all the other ethubs warriors who have been here with me in the trenches since 2021. we were right about everything ever since the beginning of time but in the worst possible ways and no one can ever take that away from us . amen

#genuinely love how many of my last life era ethubs mutuals are still here and posting 5000 word analyses about their intricate gay rituals #just like the good old days. none of us will ever get over it and its beautiful #actually speaking of old mutuals who r still around #pretty sure one of my first posts ever was me adding an unsolicited four paragraph reblog addition to one of scott megabuilds ethubs posts #i didnt understand tumblr at the time. 2021 rio was so brazen i dont even think we were mutuals. i could never do that now . #mildly embarrassing in retrospect but You know what were both still here and i still stand by everything i said. #also i have no idea when this ask was from btw sorry Aleph if this is old. i found it in mydrafts half answered

what's good about a pilot falcon?

HI! The Pilot Falcon (older generations were sold in the US as the Namiki Falcon for whatever reason) is a japanese fountain pen manufactured by Pilot!

it's often referred to as the best modern flex pen, or the best gold nib for a beginner! Tldr for people who aren't pen nerds, a flex pen is a pen that...well, flexes! Most pens have some sort of "flex" to them that results in some sort of line variation, but flex pens can handle a relatively higher amount of pressure. Think like a G nib used in a lot of manga. Old pens were the MASTERS at this, and a good bit of that is due to the nibs being made of gold, which naturally has a "bounce" to it that modern steel nibs have a really hard time living up to. Most people wax poetic about Waterman or other vintages like that because of it. Even modern gold nibs can't really keep up with the gold nibs of yore, but the Falcon is considered to be one that can. I do think legally it's considered a "soft" nib, meaning it's not truly a flex pen but has a lot of flex qualities to it, but some terms that get used are used interchangably so. idk. True flex nibs aren't really a thing in fountain pens these days outside of Noodler's Ahab and Konrad (which are their own nightmare and a half tbh).

The Falcon prized amongst artists for it's very fine nib, which Japanese pen manufacturers like Pilot and Platinum are known for. A Japanese Fine is comparable to a Western (Kaweco, Lamy) Extra fine, and a lot of these pens come in an EF, F, and M. It gets alot of nice line variation despite being so small, and is really an all-around great pen, if legend is to be believed :] An alternative to buying the Pilot Falcon would be getting the Pilot 912 FA, which has something called the "Falcon Nib," not to be confused with the actual pen. They actually look pretty different. The FA nib (right) has these weird cuts on their side that help with flexing and allow it to mimic a full-flex nib, but again. According to legend, modern pens don't flex like vintage pens do, but it IS pretty close.

(sources mentioned in alt text)

I've never used either myself, but I'm pretty picky about my pens and so I don't know if I'd ever pay upwards of $200 unless I got familiar with the nib first tbh....The falcon's nib isn't offputting to me like many feel about it, but I'm particular about aesthetics and the feedback on paper and I can't tell if I like them just from looks alone lol. Right now, I don't have much experience with pilot nibs, but if i were to get a pilot pen, tbh I'm looking at the Pilot Elite/e95s in a fine or medium, or a vintage platinum pocket pen.

Anyways that's that and this is also that. *twirls so elegantly and then collapses onto the ground in slapstick fashion*

#im a dweeb #im picky enough about pens that if the nib isnt particularly pleasing (good examples are Visconti Pelikan or Parker nibs) #or particularly unique (examples are Regalia Crossflex and Trilogy or most Music Nibs) #im not particularly drawn to them. superficial and so on #I really like inlaid/inset nibs like the Platinum Carbon or old Pilot desk pens. or the aforementioned Pilot Elite #The Shaeffer Quasi-imperial is PARTICULARLY sexy in design with the diamond inlay tbh #a good flexy or at least bouncy pen can be EF or F for me (sometimes F is actually too large like with the Platinum Preppy) #i tend to benefit from thin nibs anyways (and gold but bouncy steel is good too) because the inks i use are wet #so im not always picky about nib size. but i AM also rlly picky about pen body shapes and a lot do NOT speak to me #I like desk pens bc of the tapered tail but they really aren't suited for travel. but i dont care much for the classic cigar shape of pens #i like how twsbi pens are shaped. i strongly dislike lamy's shape these days. flat top and torpedo pens are better imo #Benu makes both beautiful and gaudy pens and the dream would be a regalia crossflex in either a benu or something truly atrocious #like a custom fountain pen themed after my lonesome cowboy by takashi murakami. no i wont elaborate no dont look that up #alas fountain pens are an expensive hobby and ppl can be a bit dickish about 'lower quality' pens so its not very newbie friendly #esp on reddit. some ppl are so obnoxious tbh. i like the tumblr fp fans way better theyre a lot more helpful and not married to brands #OK THATS ENOUGH SORRY YOU GOT THE RAMBLINDS OF A LUNATIC ITS MIDNIGHT GOOD NIGHT ANON #not art

i think it should be mandatory that everyone watch The Social Dilemma at least once every six months

#dear everyone saying that tumblr doesn't have an algorithm: yes it does oh my GOD. #i see people say this so often irt twitter and reddit migration #just because tumblr has a different feed system to facebook/inta/twitter doesn't mean the only things you see are exactly what you want #free of influence or coercion #simplest example is tumblr suggesting users and tags for u to follow. what do you think is informing its suggestions? #how does it know which blogs are similar? it's not by fucking chance #please i know we all clown on what a mess this website is and how poorly it delivers ads but let's not forget that that's a choice they mak #if tumblr wanted to deliver ads in the way other social media sites do they could. but it's part of the image they've created for themselve #hence why they feel they can offer a paid subscription to remove ads that has an off switch so u can still see their weird crazy zany ads #because they know how much we love to clown on their shit ads. they know users will screenshot and share ads if they're weird enough #and they want you to. they're not so incompetent that they can't get us classy ads lol. this is their brand. let's not forget that! #anyway this is all triggered by me sending someone (hi bunni <3) a post of misha collin's sfx make up in gotham knights that popped up as a #recommended post despite me never having watched it or searched for it etc. what triggered that post appearing was me searching/tagging spn #a couple times recently. and of course misha collins and spn are frequently cross tagged. anyway since then i have been bombarded with that #godforsaken show constantly on my dash #sorry to gotham knights enjoyers i get the appeal and i am a dc simp but it's just not for me ig #if u read all this i love u im kissing you sloppystyle and or giving u a firm and warm handshake and or a friendly nod like we're walking #past each other on a beautiful day <3 #my post

love everyone who has ever been nice to me. i’d very much like to give each and everyone of you a hug

#ive probably posted something about this like 10x before but I CANT HELP IT! the world is evil and i feel crazy sometimes but its soo much #more fun to live when you think about all the silly stuff youve gone through #every nice ask or joke drawing or letter or sweet reblog i screenshot and save it all #so nice to have mutuals that post about their faves and reblog cute things!! 🤍 i love you all sooo much uee #feeling crazy right now so i’ve decided to take a moment to think about how lovely everyone here is ... evilness within me? cured asap #not even just my tumblr mutuals but the nice people who have complimented me randomly ... you’re all way too cute #two days ago i saw two incredibly pretty women with cool outfits and another one with the most beautiful braids and i!!! #wanted so badly to talk to them but the one with braids was doing smth and the other two with the outfits were like getting into a car #shame and misery. i should telepathically communicate it to them i guess #💭

[elaena]

as a general idea I think Tumblr is the best social media for art as a hobby. Sure if you want the chance at professional opportunities you may bet for Twitter, but if you just want to post random art you did just for fun or love it's great. It gets a lot of attention years down the line, and while it's kind of embarrassing seeing my first pieces of art pop up on my notes frequently considering how I've improved, it's great that there's still an audience for it. You don't need to "learn" the algorithm or tame it or whatever, you can just. Post it. Maybe add some tags for people to find you, but that's all the work you gotta do

#not counting artstation because i think it's on its own league #and yeah i understand the likes to reblog ratio is frustrating to a lot of people but like #Twitter its like. very difficult for art. #you get a massive influx and then it dies within days! #the way i see it it's just a marketing tool not actually an art environment. idk #i still see art posts from 2014 being reblogged with tags like 'op this is beautiful' #not even 2014 just. years before #if tumblr changes the 'algorithm' to make it more fast paced I'm going to be heartbroken #again im sure i said nothing nobody hasn't said before but i kinda love Tumblr let's go tumblr
