#STOP WITH THE GREENDAY JOKES IVE HAD ENOUGH #internet #old web #old internet #was thinking about how 'lurk more' used to be a common phrase so people would learn forum etiquette before posting #but now.. #the fact that the phrase 'netiquette' has died out entirely says a lot i feel

Possibly The most surprising thing I have discovered on the internet is the number of people who will unironically refer to others as "degenerates" without expecting anyone reading this to immediately assume that they are a straight-up fascist

#i don't mean the actual nazis though alas there are an eye-opening number of those on the internet too #i mean the 19yo purity wankers who will vaguely gesture at lefty talking points while freely tossing around 'degenerate' as an insult #apparently without recognizing that this sets off like 1000 warning sirens for anyone w the slightest familiarity w fascist rhetoric #bonus points if they actually use the phrase ''degenerate art'' #genuinely i have spent my entire internet life immediately blocking anyone who does this on the assumption they are an Actual Nazi #only to discover an alarming number of Kids These Days doing it????? to a point i don't think it can just be undercover fash????? #obviously the purity wank is itself concerning regardless of what political talking points they have learned to parrot but i just. #the multiple overlapping layers of accidentally-right-wing lack of self awareness are. TRULY incredible to witness. #my posts

#alolan raichu #holy shit these alolan forms are kicking the fuck outta my ass #the things i do for you all. my production value on this blog has increased over the years and i don't think i can get away with the same #weird shit i used to be able to when i couldn't find a good model so now i'm having to learn how to use blender and shit?? #downloading weird scripts off the internet just because i can't find the right models. and now alolan raichu has kantonian eyes #they have kantonian eyes. i know. i'm sorry. i don't know how to fix it and this is the best you're going to get because i had to work for #like an hour and a half just to get to this point. and i know the lighting is dark. it's. it's bad. it'll probably be like this for all #the alolan forms at least. and holy shit when we get to gen 9 it's going to be even worse #this is a wreck!! this is a wreck. i had to use the sv model for this one and it's like #i dunno the eyes in sv aren't textures?? they're procedural. they're fucking. shaders. in sv. which is why espeon's pupils #are no longer pupils and are instead reflections (lie‚ falsehood) #and i'm. dissolving. y'all're gonna have to bear with me moving forward bc i've gotten Very used to the “it just works” nature of #the older models that i was using but this is getting way harder on me as we move into newer generations

society if ronan knew the phrase “me when i lie” and used it after everything declan said

#actually wld prob be more of a bitchy adam thing #he learns it from one of his internet savvy friends and is like oh i l #know where to use this #and in his groupchat w lynch bros (hes in it to text in place of ronan who never will reply to messages) #he just sends me when i lie wfter everythin declan texts

Be BOTH Team Bonnie & Team Monty

There is no wrong way about this. If you enjoy both characters, good! I love that, I adore both as well. Both are fictional characters, both are comfort characters.

You can also make your own userbox as well. I've used freebie program called GIMP #on a site called youtube. you can learn plenty of tutorials on how to use GIMP. don't think version matters so much? just mess around

really fucking sick and tired of people who really fucking love the eddie book jumping on people who don't like or are even remotely critical of it's posts and like crusading their opinions around from the top of their high horses and shoving it down our throats.

if you like the book, great! that's awesome! love that for you! i am genuinely glad that you were able to find good in it and enjoy it!!

but not everyone did, and not everyone is going to agree with you. so, instead of going on some grand crusade where you find every single post that includes anything even remotely negative or negative adjacent or even neutrally critical and spending ALL this time and effort trying to provide unwanted rebuttals to every single thing, maybe you should just stay in your lane and find people who DO like the book and chat about it with them.

because i can PROMISE YOU, none of us appreciate it when you come onto our posts and start accusing us of "hating on" the author or "being rude" about her and her work and RIDICULOUS shit like that.

being critical of something and pointing out it's flaws is NOT inherently hating on it. i, frankly, do not know where people got that notion, but it's not fucking true so can we fucking quit assuming it is? and, critiquing something is also NOT the same as saying this is shit and it sucks and the author is a piece of garbage. again, where the fuck that came from is beyond me. you can be critical of something and still enjoy it. as soooo many of you love to point out, it's not perfect, why should it be perfect? so D U H. of course that means criticism can and should arise???

also. hot take (by which i mean ice fucking cold because it's NOT a fucking hot take), but going around toting FALSE facts as part of your "defense" does not make you or your argument look good. you, like the author, should maybe do a basic fact check first. 🙃

tldr, if you like the book, that's genuinely great, but stay in your fucking lane and stop seeking out posts from people who didn't like it to start shit in the notes.

#flight of icarus #stranger things #this has happened to me and to so many of my friends and im fucking SICK of it #i didn't even hate the book either!! i thought it was just okay #and yet i STILL get all these book lovers jumping down my throat about things i say about the book #things that - HONESTLY are not even like that scathing!!!!! #like god damn all im asking for is a little BASIC effort from the author and they all think thats me asking for her head on a platter #its NOT #i have no problem with the author #she's whatever to me honestly just a vessel through which the book was given to us #ALSO she is some nebulous blob way outside my orbit. AS IN any critiques i have of her and her work are NOT direct assaults on her??? #like i dont fucking KNOW her #im not saying any of this to her face #she is a published writer she should KNOW the risks she is taking when she publishes her writing #not everyone is going to like it! there are going to be people who are critical of it! there are going to be people who hate it! #critiques and pointing out mistakes and wishing for things to have been different is not a fucking direct attack #those things are actually pretty fucking common responses to ANYTHING #and a lot of times theyre actually meant as useful helpful things geared towards improvement and not something to tear someone down with #some people on the internet need to go touch grass and learn how to CRITICALLY THINK again #the world is not as black and white as you think #n e ways. rant over. if you stuck around through all of that kudos to you. i am just. at the end of my rope with this bullshit.

i dont care if this is a stupid gimmick account if you support or are neutral to genocide you are truly undeniably evil and with absolutely no respect im telling you to block me and fuck off

#take a few minutes out your day to learn about what's happening and reblog some posts #you have access to the internet and telecoms speak up for those who can't #And I mean reblog use the fucking reblog button because i know you know the like button does nothing

horrid yowling! so terrible I thought the cat might be dying & ran downstairs with heart tangibly hammering. I sighted her pressed up against the window, freaking out about an outdoor cat on the other side.

After I and CJ covered the view with flattened boxes:

cat: [skulks & pokes at the edges of boxes] me: idiotic! are you going to worm your way back against the glass to look at the thing that upsets you? partner CJ: wouldn't you? me: D:<

#well. he felled me with that one. can't deny it #rambl #housecatblogging #partner CJ #for my slain dignity's sake: i'm great at not *looking* at stuff that upsets me but so so bad at not thinking about it #i think my discipline around the former is unusually good & has led to a great internet experience when algorithms are in charge of my feed #it's plausible to me that twitter like fb uses 'milliseconds a tweet is in viewport' as a metric. so even if you don't like it #it learns when bad posts grabs your attention. i don't even do that! if i feel sithy about a post i immediately yeet it out of view #i have often lamented that i have no such ability with my own brain. calls from inside the house are just different.

original colors

#a doodley #1. alt title was gonna just be Dracula. like. the my name is dvd normal post. #2. im still struggling soooo much to find a way to darken my fun usual line drawings to color em in like this. #like. i always end up losing what makes em fun and gorgeous and it turns into this. no 2 tone. just looks bad and messy. #3. when talon is almost too weak to fang feed he'll use the last of his energy to low energy shapeshift to look like dis #less purple hair - his original brown eyes - original ears #just a little more disarming than the usual...easier to lure someone...doesnt sap too much energy...it works ! #also i think talon wld learn internet shit from al bothering him with it #i already know im gonna hate this doodle in like a week so im. sorry for how bad it is in advance. my art brain takes ages to develop.

^google drive link to vid... i think quality goes tumblr < google drive view (capped at 1080p) < google drive download. unfortunately u'd have to download the file from google drive for proper quality, so i'm putting it here in case anyone's interested lol. also i think the vid on tumblr gets cropped when viewed on phone/tablet :(

Why is Natsu so baby uwu

Inspired by cutie Natsu's lil spark jutsu in ch 25!

From The Color of Summer by @spideywhites

#based on fanfic #naruto #naruto oc #natsume uzumaki #the color of summer #animated gif #heat waves - glass animals #lyric video #have all 3 versions of jpg gif and mp4 #bc the colour and quality changes a lil whenever i convert lol #learning how to colour correct gifs and use shotcut was... interesting #biggest trek was scouring the internet for cost-free and watermark-free editing websites #with trial-and-error for better quality #almost gave up on my whimsical heat waves idea #but chatgpt came in clutch LOL and recommended me shotcut #i shall use the knowledge gained from this project in the probably far future heheh #also if u think natsu’s eyes somehow look like dragon city eggs… i agree lol

not to be a boomer on main… but i think children should adequate to the online experience instead of every site having to shift and model themselves to whatever the fuck children consume the most

im sick and tired of everything nowadays being made “with kids in mind” because CEOs have figure out thats the demographic they can exploit and get the most money out of

today is the tiktokification of every social media site, tomorrow who fucking knows, we should fucking stop this

#just to make it clear its not the children’s fault #its greedy capitalism figuring that kids are easier to trick and exploit #im fucking tired of how we let them keep doing that shit #for one kids shouldnt be with unrestricted web access #on two they should have places for kids instead of forcing all the internet to be ‘kid friendly’ #for three if they want to use the internet they should learn to use it instead of making it just scrolling for convenience #teens and kids don’t understand tumblr because they are used to be spoon fed and i think we should keep it like that #learn how a site works #learn social protocol #adapt overcome all that shit #seriously #i have to learn to adapt to new social sites why cant you adapt to learn mine #why do i have to give up a fun site just to make it as automatic and souless for your consumption??? #tired im sick and tired

Since your most likely not gonna continue Lights Out, could we get some of the lore for it you haven't gotten the chance to reveal?? If you still wanna keep it on the down low that's understandable too!

hmmm i don't know! i wouldn't know where to Start, not that there's all that much... by the time i stopped thinking about it it was still full of holes and a bit Vague plot-wise for a solid chunk of it

#'stopped thinking about it' i will admit. #i have been thinking about what i would change given our updated knowledge #but like. there's not enough to Fix The Problems! #so. putting her on a shelf! sadly! #lights out is reserved for my indulgent brain thinkings #bedtime story... #wh lights out au #rambles from the bog #some lore some lore... it was rather uninspired looking back on it #very basic i think! which is part of what disheartened me - it was just... unoriginal and boring to me in the end #but hm... what could i say that would Not inspire a slew of asks about it... #well my initial butterfly howdy thoughts were For This Au for one #ummm Home sacrifices itself for Wally. uhhhhh #eddie has to learn how to use the internet.... sally made wally a heart-shaped rainbow patch for his missing eye <3 #hm hm hm. the pit was a portal activated by sunlight #etc etc there was a lot </3
