#joy should be spread

[an-ocean-viewer]

I missed yesterday. I'll add an extra today as compensation.

Things I liked about yesterday #3:

1. Went to the library to study. Very cold and comfy.

2. Visited the new campus of our school. Air conditioned rooms are neat. Air conditioned rooms with friends and chaotic good students are neater.

3. Exam week is still going smoothly.

Things I liked about today #4:

1. I swear people let me pat their head way too easily. I don't even know if it's a love language, but I like headpats so I assume that others (unless stated otherwise) also like them

2. I tried to dress myself nicely. People called me handsome and so I think my plan went pretty great.

3. Hugging Alex feels nice. Big and chubby. Want more hugz. I wish I could hug all my friends without gender making it awkward

#3 good things #nice #headpats #outfit #hug #wholesome #i wonder if im scummy #if i use tags that boost #me in the algorithm #hmmm... no #joy should be spread

This is my favourite frog drawing I've ever seen. I think everyone should see it because it made me happy so I wish it to make more people happy 😁

(I am someone who enjoys the simple stuff in life ngl)

#frog #frog drawing #i love frogs #frogs are cool #frogs are ace #frog frog frog #froggy #cute art #i think everyone should see this #this made me happy #so i am blogging it #to make others happy #spreading joy

personal hc that once the future became paralyzed, celebi’s chrono veil (a symbol of her status as a minor deity) lost its luster and became unusable

#I love you funeral veil celebi. I love you characters that are defined by grief. I love you characters that persist and spread joy anyway. #she looks meaner that I meant in the first one oh well #she should be easier to draw considering she's just four circles #pmd #pmd eos #pmd celebi #mine #my art

mmmmm, I tend to forget that tumblr could be a place where I actually, you know, write blog posts and whatnot. like i used to back on dreamwidth. about fannish and nonfannish things. or even hiccup out more of my short-form whimsy like I used to on twitter. I mean I'm still generally blogging about nonfannish things at my dreamwidth and talking occasionally about my vid projects there since that's where I've always chattered about those wips. I don't bother really talking about my witcher wips over there. but tumblr has taken up this space in my head as space where I glom onto all the pretty posts like beloved scrapbooking material and stuff my queue for a whole year. and just rolling around in the ask games and wip posts from everyone else. not writing more posts of my own. me writing posts here...a thing I want to do and yet I don't. I have a giant list of half-written recs posts and other fannish and nonfannish things waiting for me to finish. but my brain keeps stalling out because of a lot of reasons (stress life stuff fucking with my focus). but this has been on my mind.

this has been your musing kuwdora. or: musingdora.

#blogdora #it's also quite possible i've posted this very thing before last year or the year before. i can't actually remember #and have trouble tagging my own posts ppfpfhtht #suppose i could start creating some polls like i always say i want to do and then don't #follow through. easier said than done #having a rough few days that are actually a rough few years but man i'm still trying to embrace and spread joy where i can. #but also i should probably let myself be heard and seen a little more #and not let guilt and fatigue and sadness hold me down

Hope you don't mind mind random PMs! I just thought I'd let you know how much I've been enjoying your Ainana posts as of late. I also thought I'd share one of my favourite ZOOL comics on Pixiv here (https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/84180511) that you might find fun. Scroll down to the one that's based on their Beyond the Period performance where Haruka tells the audience that he loves them for maximum hilarity. Veeeery rough and condensed translation but basically it goes:

Touma: (Wow, Haru is actually saying 'I love you' to the fans. He sure has become cool. Okay, I should say it too.) I love... you... (Huh? Those two are really staring at me for some reason.)

Torao: Did you hear that, everyone? Touma just said he loves me.

Haruka: No, he looked at me when he said it.

Torao: He was looking at me longer though.

Haruka: No, he was looking at me 5 seconds longer than you.

And then while Touma's being all what the heck are you guys talking about, it's like...

Minami: I'm the only one you didn't say 'I love you' to.

Touma: No, it's not like that, Mina. When I said 'I love you', I meant -

Minami: I'M THE ONLY ONE YOU DIDN'T SAY 'I LOVE YOU' TO.

Touma: OKAY OKAY YOU'RE SCARING ME

Feel free to check out the artist's other comics for more clueless Touma and possessive ZOOL shenanigans. <3

HELP I'M DYING. That was SO good! The expressions and the progression of events was GOLD. They are a comedy of errors or something, and thank you so much for the tl!! The fact that Toma is simultaneously Zool's father figure and collective son will never not be funny to me.

And nooo, I'm always happy to have my inbox spammed for these kinds of asks! Thank you, OP! That's so sweet of you to say, and to take the time to share fanart you like!

Also, tagging resident zool lover @msperfectsheep-posts

#fandom spamdom #note's notes #idolish7 #everyone look at zool being all possessive over toma #maybe its the kimcom lover talking in me but i sure love a found family who is all obsessed with their one member who is just a guy #a guy with a bowlcut that is #also i know i know we should found family every group that has more than one (1) positive interaction #but consider that im simply here to be insane and wrong #every time someone sends me an ask to spread joy i gain back all the psychic hp shows and media have stolen from me #which is why i always feel bad for simply forgetting to send asks.... #BUT IT'S VERY APPRECIATED AND I LOVE YOU ALL

A few years ago, Danny Jacobs uploaded a video where he sang "The Christmas Waltz" as King Julien. The video was removed at some point this year, but I downloaded a copy in time :)

Here it is for anyone who didn't get the chance to see it, and for the adoring fans and loyal subjects who like to revisit it every year. (I know I do.) Merry Julianuary!

#lost media no more >:) #all hail king julien #ahkj #king julien #the penguins of madagascar #tpom #for fandom archival purposes and also for spreading the joy and magic of what is easily in my top 5 king julien songs ever #i went years w/o backing this up then realized i probably should #and literally a few months later it was gone #whew! #also does anyone remember the date this was originally uploaded? #i'm assuming 2014 bc it's for ahkj's release #but i feel like it was later than that

i wish more people reacted with fun and whimsy to finding out their oc looks like someone else's/a pre existing character, i feel like artists as a whole would be having an easier time with this sense of "oh hey! funny coincidence" than "oh my god this means im unoriginal and i suck" it's sad it's the mindset of so many people

#i used to be like that too but now im like. Omg. i have an oc like that too! we should arrange a play date #its fun its silly i want to spread this Joy #its much better #t

Going back through my ao3 bookmarks and adding little notes for myself about the story (for fun and to remember) and it's like flipping through a photo album remembering all the good times. And the whumpy times. Lots of those too.

#seem to really like those #but also as an author I find it fun to take a peek at bookmarks because y'all crack me up with some of these comments #so I figured I should spread that joy around too #dizarys talks #ao3

#she's barely hanging in there in the real reply but this pic of the grave is her mood #thank you f.lynn for letting her sample your baking 🥲 #it was ... life-changing ................ #to the point where it's out of this world .......... i made it to the afterlife bc it had such an exquisite taste .................... #i even got to reunite with my brother at last ! #perhaps you should share it with your bf too ? to spread the joy since you worked so hard to bake it :) #surely your lover would appreciate your hard work more than me :)) #°˖✧❀ ❛ chaos! ┊ dash commentary. ❀✧˖°

You're nothing

Your honor, they simply hate to see a girlboss winning (being happy with her friends and enjoying life)

#The hate anons are back :D #There's two more but this one is the funniest #honestly dude do you have no one to talk to? #Are you okay? #why do you want to spread hate in a world where joy should rein #hate anon

I recently got into Lookism, and now that I read all of it I went to search for fics here. I just wanted to tell you that I absolutely adore how you write them all. Specially Gun. I liked him before but your writing made me appreciate the man a lot more, now I'm giggling like a school girl 😭💜 I also love your characterization of Goo, Vasco, Jake, Samuel, Yuseong (I find your writing of him very sweet!)... Everyone, really. Considering how drama heavy the comic is, I appreciate a lot the fluffiness, and I love how you manage to keep them in character while being soft. I'm going to keep reading your work and look forward for your future ones.

Sorry for the long text, and English isn't my first language so apologies if I didn't explain myself too well. Love your work, thanks a lot for sharing your writing with us!

OUWGHH,,,.,, ANON THIS IS SO SWEET........ SOBBING MY EYES OUT .. also dont worry about the long text, and your english is just fine !! <3

im glad u like my characterizations so much!!! its always so reassuring to hear people enjoy the way i soften them but dont make them ooc T_T 💕💕 (also welcome to the gun fanclub <3 ngl it was fanfics and stuff on here that made me rlly fall for him too so now i find it funny that im the person who has made someone else convert 😭😭)

i hope u have fun continuing lookism as it updates and looking at other lovely writing pieces on here by other people, as well as continuing to look thru my stuff <33 thank u so much for dropping by!! 💘💘💖

#answers #i love spreading joy im glad i chose to share my writing and its made other people happy AAAAAAAAAA #also i finally have 4 days off (at least i should. glaring at my english teacher rn) from writing an essay im gonna try to see- #how much writing i can get done!!!! #and i will try to catch up on lookism chapters this weekend as extra motivation;;

#'fandom rant' anon #yes feel free to always come to me if you want to rant <3 i get it lol #and yeah i've definitely noticed that to- i love people not blindly following their faves and having a healthy level of criticism #because that's super important! hero worship is never good! #but yeah then you get some people who fall back on that when they legitimately don't seem to like them or one of them anymore #and it begs the question why they're still here if they're disappointed by everything they do #not in a 'how dare you be disappointed in my fave way!!!!!' (because i don't care) but in the way that they don't seem happy to be here #i do think it's complex because people have complicated relationships with these kinds of things- like they used to bring you joy but now #they don't and it's hard to give something up #but there's some people i genuinely think would be happier if they took a step back so they could realize whether this fandom is genuinely #something that makes them happy or not #and then proceed from there #because they just seem to be angrier and angrier or sadder and sadder as they move through the fandom #and even though we deal with some heavier topics in this fandom- it is still a fandom and the purpose should be having fun #and yesss about what you said about expectations #i really dislike the catastrophizing that happens in fandom so often #like i understand trying to brace yourself for the worst but when you're constantly spreading the worst case scenario #it's just.... needlessly miserable. especially when the worst case scenario doesn't happen the majority of the time so you end up with so #many people anxious or disappointed about something that hasn't even happened yet lmao #and like you said- it doesn't end up being a 'bracing yourself' situation when people are just as angry and disappointed when it does happen #and also 100% about people getting mad at others for not being angry enough or sad enough- that is entirely unfair and more of #a 'misery loves company' than anything because this is a FANDOM. you should want people to have fun! you shouldn't want them to be stressed #and anxious constantly over celebrity's lives. we have enough anxiety about our own lives lmao #sorry this is making your fandom experience worse than it needs to be :/ it is hard to avoid sometimes #hopefully you find people to follow that make you more happy than sad or anxious #ily!! #asks #anonymous

#the power of a reblog i tell ya #went from what? just over 1k? #and now we're at like 3k #from a single reblog #and like yes reblogs from NOT todayontumblr will obviously do a lot less #but when we say that reblogs ARE tumblr we're not exaggerating #and honestly i don't care if i sound prissy i want people to see my shit #because you know what? i love those tags where people from like a 56 person reblog chain are like ''omg i remember watching this with my x'' #and it's just like. make it an active choice i guess #instead of just passively not reblogging #instead of just going eh i'm too lazy or whatever it is that most people do (we should do a poll maybe) #bc it's about spreading joy and sharing the things you love #idk this probably isn't going to change anything #and it's not really a big problem #it's just a little sucky #your blog is your own but i hope more people learn to find happiness in sharing things with others #rambling
