Made this one a few months ago while trying out different ways of painting backgrounds. This one is way too textured, but I learned a lot afterwards :)

#sth #silver the hedgehog #been listening to sonic music a lot lately #I got an external disc driver last year and some blank cds #and the first thing I burned was a Sonic mixtape #I'm all for buying CDs and supporting the artists #but sometimes you just gotta make your own playlist yknow? #my stuff

CD problems

#kids nowadays will never know the pain of your favourite CD being scratched and becoming horrible to listen to #jjba #i ran out of time #it's old stuff #stone ocean #jotaro kujo #jolyne cujoh #enrico pucci #narciso anasui #skipping cd #disk #cw moving gif #cw skipping #lolo edits

They would have made Xiao Xingchen pull the car over at least once an hour if they ever did a road trip together.

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #bonus comic #A-qing #xue yang #this was going to be paired with the redraw of the audio drama art but I think its funnier as it's own post #Did anyone else have the experience of one song player between siblings? #The additional issue (that will immediately show my age) was when you both wanted to listen to the same cassette or CD #On roadtrips you might have a player in the vehicle but not everyone liked the same thing. #Kids these days have it too convenient. In my day you suffered if you agreed *or* disagreed with your families music tastes #I almost had Xue Yang say he was listening to MCR but tbh....he would be a Mariana Fan. A-Qing is more the MCR fan. #They would have the same taste in bands I think. Pros and cons of that. #I think these two could have had fun adventures together. In another life. #Just wanted to have one last silly moment between then before....you know....

I want to write one of those "how to talk to your Gen Z coworkers" thinkpieces, but for Gen X.

"Harsh! Is your new 46-year-old employee tuning you out? Here's how to connect with Gen X in an authentic way that's not totally bogus, dude!"

#hey guys the office breakroom looks like a cassette tape that was eaten by the boombox! can we clean it up? #want to listen to some CDs and rent a movie? #try putting a bowl of ibuprofen out for your gen x coworkers

[butch-bakugo]

It still blows my mind that no body wants to own movies or CDs. Like I don't like not owning any movies or shows I like and wanna rewatch. Maybe I sound like a boomer but I'm not planning on paying for Netflix for the rest of my damn life just for this one movie I love that their hosting. Imma go on the internet and get the DVD.

We really shouldn't allow these streaming services to kill DVDs and CDs. We should not let them kill physical media. They want you to not have a physical copy, so that when you stop paying, you don't have access to the product your paying for. Buy more CDs. Buy more DVDs. Buy a damn VCR. I mean shit, a fucking Xbox or playstation can play any DVD, blue ray or not. Your car has a radio for a reason.

Don't let them kill physical media. Because if or when the cards fall, you'll be left with nothing.

#levi speaks #listen im not the type to be like all streaming services are bad #there are some good ones #but dont contribute to somethign you know is killing your ability to access it without their help #they make more money for you paying every month for a netflix and Spotify subscription then you going out and buying the dvds and cds #subscriptions make more money than one time purchases #and you've been raised that thats normal #it isnt #its greed #what happened to personal piracy? #burning cds with your favorite tracks #recording movies off the tv #lets bring digital piracy back #cause theirs no way im paying $7 a month just to listen to one song #im finding the youtube lyric video on the internet using the ytube to mp3 downloaders and listening to that file all on my own #fuck you netflix and spotify and every other bs service #except for shudder shudder is fine #shudder is baby girl and highlights young small horror artists #fuck everybody else #the only reason i can justify netflix is because they have enough Netflix exclusives that make it worth it #they dont put their money where their mout is in terms of representation tho

physical media is so fun why did people decide that it was bad and outdated . i love you cds i love you dvds i love you physical copies of games and books

#ive been listening to sonic cds on my cd player today having a great time #< sonic cds as in cds with sonic music on them not the game called sonic cd #did you guys know that ummmmm All hail shadow heroes rise again obliterating everything thats not your friend #nothing can stop you now #no ghost to bring to down #when theres nothing left to lose you win #(thats the song i am listening to rn)

man growing up without any privacy is a fucking trip what do you mean i'm scared my mom found my imagine dragons CD it's imagine dragons for fuck's sake why would i get in trouble for that

#i want to buy a bunch more cds too #but if my mom looks too closely at my music i think i'll die #since she has a history of being weird about it #okay sorry i discovered my chemical romance when i was twelve #it was a decade ago #am i allowed to listen to sad songs now #or songs where they say “fuck” #any time i want to buy something i evaluate in my head if it's okay for me to have first #the way i triple thought before buying mayday parade merch when i went to their concert #because of fear #and it's more than just music #i chat on discord so she never finds my messages #exclusively use it on incognito so i can close out at a moment's notice #because she went through my text messages #i don't keep a diary because she'd read it behind my back #i hide my sketchbooks because despite being a medical student i worry she will be weird if i know too much anatomy #she was weird abt me not drawing a shirt on a bust drawing #that didnt even include shoulders #like jeez #anyway #sorry for venting in the tags lmao #sometimes i forget that people actually read my posts #and im not just existing here lmao #erm close your eyes im fine #i really want more cds tho #sour #collide with the sky #scoring the end of the world #folklore #ugh just so many

few things are as touching as the appreciation hardworking, heartfelt, passionate, dedicated young people express when you support them. sometimes this appreciation is shown by those young people sending you unedited footage of their professional wrestling ambulance matches and it fucking rules.

#[ whispers ] #mango brought to my attention a ugandan pro wrestling promotion fundraising for their first wrestling ring and i decided to reach out #to them because i made a post raising awareness on my wrestling sideblog. they asked me to record a video saying hello to a young lady #wrestler of theirs i said i'm a fan of. so she can record a video saying hello back to me! and then sent me exclusive footage of a match! #i cannot stress this enough: reach out to dreamers. reach out to the people making their dreams reality. to artists and musicians and #writers and people blogging about their cultures' food and their daily lived experiences and dedicating their lives to community outreach #and harm reduction and activism and rescuing animals and raising awareness. tell the people making what you love that you love it and #admire their hard work. thank the person bagging your groceries and driving your bus with a big smile. tell the makeup artist standing with #palestine openly what that means to you. one of my favourite authors is on tumblr and i'm reaching out to her after i read her new book that #just published. one of my friends became a well known poet in pakistan because a group of us all sent CDs of our spoken word poetry to each #other and made all of our friends listen. i'm friends with youtubers because i've been vocally supporting their videos since pre-YT or early #into their channels and have met up with some of them to hang out and talk shop. don't just cheer people on silently! let them know! #long post #sorry. overcome by my simple love for humanity in the midst of unfathomably dark times. it will happen again

bought a florence + the machine cd just to find out our car doesn't have a cd slot. god wants me dead

#our old shitty car had one :( i actually bought my first cd so i could listen to it on the car ride to school </3 #i mean that wasnt my FIRST first cd but like. the first one i bought for myself #i miss you old yellow fiat panda </3 even though your doors would only close if you pushed down the handle from the outside #and even though your brakes were messed up every other week and you had no air conditioning #you shall be missed #stella's horoscope

Spotify is currently giving me premium features despite the fact that I have not purchased premium nor have I signed up for the free trial. I want to see how long this lasts

#yknow i do see why people buy premium. this shit is nice #however this will not make me buy premium because 10.99 a month is OUTRAGEOUS #especially considering spotify isnt my main form of listening to music #like i mostly use cds along with vinyl #including ones i burn myself so i know how to get mp3s #i have an ipod too which i need to work with to get songs without itunes #and i have bandcamp to buy digitals of the songs i want #this is your sign to stop paying for spotify premium btw you can get SO MUCH better for free #me posts

hello, it's me, back on my soapbox, reminding you to get every piece of media you can in a physical form.

what do I mean by this? I mean buying CDs, DVDs, box sets, physical books, and whatever other things I'm missing here. You cannot rely on streaming or online copies of things, you just can't.

and yes, I understand you may not be able to afford something - physical media is expensive and I'm not asking you to break the bank!

I am asking you, however, to do what you can - you can burn your own CDs or DVDs, you can get a library card or visit used book stores. You can download music and movies and books onto a physical USB drive so it's can't be deleted by anyone but you! It's so important that you realize that you do not actually own anything you stream or access exclusively online. you are paying for a license to borrow that stuff, not actually own and use it again and again.

and if you can afford to buy things, you should! especially if the work comes from a smaller group or artist - they get paid more for those purchases than they do by streaming groups.

you do not own anything you "buy" online - and if you can't buy it (either financially or because the corporation behind it has refused to sell it), then pirate it.

#spotify #streaming #netflix #listen if it helps you #its also such a cool aesthetic to have a bunch of CDs in your car for people to flip through on road trips #my friends have fun arguments about what mixtape or album we're putting on to even go grocery shopping #its fun to crack open a DVD case and not have to worry about shitty streaming quality! #ITS FUN AND PRACTICAL AND IM SO SORRY CAPITALISM CONVINCED YOU OTHERWISE
