#the internet is literally RIGHT THERE

[cinamun]

People always want a source for facts, especially when they are probably the result of the negative end of said facts. I get it, its so unbelievable and you're so shocked about George Washington and Black people's surnames that, instead of googling your damn self, you send me two paragraphs asking for sources and instead of sources you got blocked.

Stop asking Black people to do labor for you during Black history month.

Well this absolutely sucks.

#vice is responsible for some of the funniest articles ive ever read and also some of the best reporting on far right dingdongs #im currently watching some more news' video about the internet killing journalism that literally came out 2 weeks ago #and its obviously only gonna get worse. unfortunately i reckon rolling stone might be the next to go. some of my fave writers went there #after other sites died but the EOC stepping down a few weeks ago doesnt bode well #anyway everyone go subscribe to the worker owned sites like defector discourse blog and 404 media! #because they're needed more than ever! #vice #vice news

I really do love your writing and Salvage gets me through when I am sad or depressed. However, I was wondering, how do you cope when someone who wrote a review didn’t like your writing? If you’ve had this before… I had one today and I am dejected. I’m working through my perfectionism and I keep telling myself, “my writing isn’t for everyone and it’s okay.” Any advice?

If it was unsolicited, especially on a fanfic? Delete it, block the person if you feel like, then go do your rage activity of choice before forgetting about it forever. That person is rude and doesn't deserve your time anymore than someone bumping into you on the street.

I've also found it useful to actively think of my fanfic as writing practice, and not even my brain expects perfection from writing practice. It also frees you do Try Cool Things.

Now take this digital blanket and cup of hot chocolate and go reread your nice comments.

#most readers are absolutely lovely #But yeah I've gotten these too because there is always someone on the internet who thinks they are Right and Smart and that those things #Are more important than being kind and polite #Fic Reader Etiquette 101: the only writers looking for crits on a fic are the ones that explicitly asked for it #The only potential exception is for typos that impact reading clarity and even then varies by author #I love having any and all typos pointed out but I know some writers Don't Want To Hear It #My worst comment was the person who wrote essentially: #Wow I remember loving this story it had a huge impact on my life but now I reread years later and it's shit #...Honey. HONEY. #please realize that your personal growth and resulting resonance or lack thereof with a story's themes #have literally nothing to do with me #and I hope your next bit of character growth involves internalizing your self-reflection instead of outsourcing it to fanfiction

random note about king on that animation, i got really lucky with how simple his animation was and how clean my sketches were to begin with that i was able to do very minimal cleanup on what i had sketched (and add back. his horn. it's supposed to take place just after echoes of the past, Oops) and call it done that way instead of having to redraw the entire thing like i had to on his dad

first sketch > line cleanup > nearly final animation (i'd added slight eye movements last-second but otherwise that's the final)

#toh #the owl house #animation #gif #king clawthorne #the lineart slightly flickers on his one paw where i had to erase the tag and i thought it would bother me a lot more #but most people seem to use the internet on their phones - coupled with the darker palette and color of his fur #it basically completely hides it #based on feedback i don't think a lot of people realize i made that and it's not a gif from the show lmfao #BUT ITS STILL REALLY NICE THAT PEOPLE THINK IT IS!!!! I AM NOT AN ANIMATOR I AM JUST A HOBBYIST... #i animate like once a year... shits hard man.... but apparently when i do animate. its extremely good :) proud of that #even if i have an extremely unhinged way of animating #i don't have an animation program i draw everything individually frame by frame in photoshop #each character had their own psd file with the same background and every frame was its own group. twice. one for sketch one for colors #i do test takes with gifcam (there are literally 55 WIP gifs in my documents folder rn) by switching between layers and taking a 'frame' #and i compile in blender's video editor and to move things separately i save each character's frame in its own .png 'cel' #so luz was her own 'cel'. king was his own 'cel.' etc. and then i have to manually slide the lengths of the frames around #to match the right framerate. traditionally animation is animated at 24 FPS on 2's - so 12 frames a second. i go on 3s. 4 to slow down #anime-ass framerate. i'm insane apparently but its what i like to do #i dont understand real animation programs they have too many pieces but i DO understand photoshop and my funny brushes #imagine having Digital Programs and Still basically doing ye olde traditional animation method just in the computer #if im Just making a gif then i only use gifcam and switch between layers. like digital stop motion. somethings wrong with me

If anything were to happen to me, I hope that the most significant message I conveyed was that you matter, and that there is always hope. Even if a flame goes out, there are always ways to reignite it.

#this sounds incredibly ominous so I want to specify two things #I am not a danger to myself #I am not in any mortal danger #No one is seeking to harm me #I just might go away for a while soon and idk #Life is very uncertain for me right now #But I just care that you know I love you all as much as one can healthily love strangers on the internet #hearing your stories and your jokes and anecdotes and everything in between has literally gotten me through some nights

All i'll say is

Believing that Dr*am is a groomer does not mean you have any moral high ground to judge people who don't think he is.

This situation is complex and both side have pretty damning evidence on the other. You can't blame either side for believing what they believe.

You are ALLOWED to hate Dream, you are allowed to not feel comfortable around people who are fans of him. You are allowed to think he is a groomer without being attacked for it.

You are NOT allowed to tell people to end their own life or that they're a "pedo defender". Holding moral judgement about people you dont even fucking know personally in a situation like this is not helping anyone.

I'm not gonna say what I personally believe because no one's fucking buiseness. All I want to say is that the trend of judging people's morality in situation like this is just purely a way to make yourself feel better.

We live in the real world, sometimes situations aren't black and white.

Idc make assumptions about this if you want, internet genuinely has been fucking vile recently and my hope in people's critical thinking skills have sunk to an all time low.

This isn't even about Dream I'm gonna be honest although the issue is especially worse with him. You could replace him with a piece of fucking cheese and I would say the same thing.

It's not just Twitter, the internet from the beginning has instilled into people such a chronic fear of being a bad person, it's rotted people's brains.

Leading to shit like policing queer identities and supporting people's horrid behavior for the sake of feeling superior, of feeling like you're the one in the right.

I'm so sick of people constantly fighting eachother, it's disheartening to see the internet has just become like this now. I've had panic attacks thinking of how people would perceive me for opinions I DIDNT EVEN SHARE on the internet back in the day. For fucking enjoying content people saw as problematic.

People act like they're doing this to help people or a cause but let's be honest what good are you fucking doing beefing with random people on social media ? What are you acheiving ? You can't tell me people don't find personal satisfaction in feeling morally superior to someone.

Btw if you take anything in this post out of context or look into my other posts to try and assume shit about me, you are what this post is about. Fuck off and don't ever fucking interact with me.

Anyways, probably gonna take a break from social media outside of discord and youtube (idk if they count as social media but idc). Might change dependent on if I get hate for this post or not and if I something to brainrot about.

This rant was ruminating in my brain for a long time I'd argue even before the Green Bitch was in the picture but it definitely became the tipping point for me to realise that the majority of people on the Internet are just Awful.

#dream situation #rant #vent #i'm just Done #like literally people have been nothign but horrible lately #i dont fucking care about dream he could get off the internet forever and I Would Not Care #I care about the horrible way people have treated this situation #go ahead and try to assume i think dream isn't a groomer #i don't consider randos on the internet my friend #you don't have any right to judge my fucking character when you dont even fucking know me #that's all

I really wish they had officially translated 共犯者 (kyouhansha) as "partner in crime" instead of "accomplice" because partner in crime sounds sooo much sexier and gayer

Just swap the words out in your head and then tell me I'm right:

#otherside picnic #we have to set the right mood #this is a joke BUT #dont take this seriously but also im so serious #also this is literally like chapter 1 i dont consider this to be spoilers #spoiler alert some people took me a little too seriously but thats okay #its impossible to read the fact that im usually joking on the internet

HIS NAME IS RAIN ITS NOT ZEFFEERO. HIS NAME IS RAIN BECAUSE HIS MOTHER NAMED HIM THAT. BECAUSE AMARA WAS A HYDROMANCER TOO AND SHE GAVE HIM THE NAME BECAUSE SHE KNEW IN HER HEART HE WOULD SHARE HER ABILITIES. RAINS NAME IS HIS ONLY TANGIBLE CONNECTION TO HIS MOTHER AND IT IS THE ONLY GIFT FROM HER HE WILL EVER HAVE THE PRIVILEGE OF RECEIVING WHICH IS WHY HE GETS SO DEFENSIVE WHEN KABAL INSULTS IT IN MK11

#me when i spread misinformation on the internet #BUT IM RIGHT #IM RIGHT #IM SO RIGHT #LISTEN TO ME #RED STRING ALL OVER THE WALLS BAWLING MY EYES OUT #HIS NAME IS RAIN #IM GOING TO CLAW MY HAIR OUT #THIS SHOULD NOT BE SO IMPORTANT TO ME BUT I CANNOT HELP IT #mortal kombat #rain #literal prince related to literal gods

kevneil outserved like every aftg ship but is hindered by the existence of andrew minyard because unlike kandrew, a situation where i feel neil would be just fine as long as he was kept around as a friend the way kevin is in canon, i truly believe andrew would take a page out of one jean moreaus book should kevin and neil enter a monogamous relationship right in front of him. every kevneil fic on the internet must be supposedly kandreil but andrew is on vacation for the duration of the fic, or take place in a universe where nicky took the twins with him to germany circa 2003, and as kevneil fall in love andrew is somewhere in berlin going “warum lief mir gerade ein schauer über den rücken”

#kevneil #aftg #theres something so tumblr about the way i phrased this its pissing me off so bad #but its too late to go back… Literally what you post on the internet does stay there forever they were right

i am begging people to be less weird about whether or not i'm online/how quickly i'm replying to messages

i like want to make new friends online but this is just the reddest possible flag to me

#like there's the universal 'oh i sent a risky message so the longer it goes without a response the more stressed i get' #and 'oh i sent a message to a group chat that was moving at a pretty fast pace and now no one is responding' #like both of those are pretty valid reasons to be anxious about someone's reply speed #and even then i usually don't actually say anything to the parties concerned when i'm experiencing these things lol #but if you're a brand new internet friend and you keep making comments on my 'online' status on discord #and getting antsy if i'm showing as online but not responding right away #literally back off lol
