#this is a meme I made that I think is funny

[deoidesign]

I hate posting on social media.

But I do it anyways.

Every time I post something, it risks people getting mad at me. Of getting big, too big, and coming back around to hurt me. It's happened before. It'll happen again.

And yet I post anyways.

Because I think a lot of people feel very much alone. And I think that the power of art is that it can, for a moment, make someone feel less alone.

When I look at art I can feel the artist behind it, saying "I made this, and I wanted you to see it. And I want you to see yourself in it too. And I want you to know I love you." And I feel a connection in the humanity of every stroke they made. Through millennia and cultures and lifestyles, no matter what, there is always the artist behind the work, and I know I'm not alone.

Every time I share something my art transforms, entirely against my will. While I'm working it's reflective, relaxing, explorative. I'm learning while I draw, about myself and the things around me and how I see things.

And then I post.

And now it's in someone else's hands. They see it, and everything I tried to put into it is irrelevant. It only matters what someone gets out of it.

This transformation is magical, but it is also extremely vulnerable.

And it's scary!

But I share anyways.

Because I made this. And I wanted you to see it. And I want you to see yourself in it too.

And I want you to know I love you.

#i know this is kinda funny when you look at my art and it's the vampire yaoi #but im actually so serious about this!!! #everything is meant for connection #even if it's a silly meme that took 5 minutes #it made me laugh while i was making it #and i wanted to make you laugh too #because i love you #i want you to enjoy my silly story #i want you to be maybe a little confused #maybe a little reflected #maybe a little inspired #because i love you! #and i want you to feel seen #to feel heard #to FEEL!!! #my god i want you to feel something #and so i create! #and i put all of me into it as much as i can #all my little weird bits and undesireable parts as well despite my wishes #and i hope that maybe by making myself vulnerable #you can see all my pieces and perhaps youll recognize that we're made of the same stuff #and maybe youll know its okay to be yourself #with all your bits and pieces #that you struggle to love. #well i love them. #i love you. #and i want you to love you too #anyways #I'm just thinking. #i'll probably delete this later

not to be messy but how do you feel about people stealing other peoples viral posts on tumblr and reposting it on twitter like it’s theirs. (she’s on here by guttergirl-444) & she has stolen many more lol

at first glance it’s like shock and amazement more than anything because i never thought this would happen to me, but when i actually stop to think about it, it actually is very frustrating and invasive. i know it happens all the time and i can’t really stop it, plus my posts have no copyright or anything but it is true, when i make posts that aren’t haha funny laugh a lot play a lot, they kind of are little extensions of my artwork. like drafts and ideas that often get elaborated on if they seem to connect with people.

i don’t really want to dunk on other artists because it feels mean spirited, but i just want to point out this one instance that shows how writing anything on tumblr is “just a tumblr post” and people often don’t consider that there’s a person behind it. it’s almost like a popular tumblr post becomes fair use. This artist here took my words directly from my post (and even used the same iconography of a beach??) and when you click on the link in the description, it takes you to their instagram account with 142k followers. not even a single nod to me, who wrote the actual words. as an extra little punch, they call themself a poet in their bio.

sure my post was a bottom text top text “meme image” but there was a lot behind it—in both thought and time. the exact same ideas and photos made their way into a book i made just a couple months later. i think i sold umm one copy?

all in all, im not complaining about lacking “popularity” because that’s utterly stupid. but there’s something moderately soul-crushing about making a tumblr post and having it ripped to shreds by all walks of life online. It literally feels like i’ve placed something beautiful in the world out of my own kindness, then walked away, and when i come back everyone has defaced and damaged and killed it. it’s kind of invasive but I know it’s the way things go.

i love the anonymity of tumblr but sometimes I wish it we were all a little more open. Maybe people could remember that behind every blog is another person with ideas, cares, opinions, annoyances, and loves. I’m sure this one twitter account isn’t really doing much damage—honestly I haven’t even gone to look at it to see how people are replying—but it’s rough out there on this beautiful social media we call tumblrposts.

and in that brief moment I felt it. our periods syncing up like ships passing in the night……

#captain’s own #dumb bitch hours #personal logs #this is a meme I made that I think is funny #I think it will be a post under which the tumblrinas will post their blorbos #I am a lil high and the “lunar agonies” (as my dear friend Meg says) have just begun #anyways I’m scheduling this for like a week away just to surprise myself #I love you future Maddie. It’s all gonna be okay.

mr. tea drinker. escorts cargo from yilong wharf (somewhere in chenyu vale) to liyue harbor. chenyu vale is known for tea leaf growing. where are tea leaves grown irl????? see below

SOUTHERNER??? southerner confirmed????

tea drinker and dim sum enjoyer.........

wushou -> 舞兽 -> literally translated as "beast dancing" -> it's just lion dance but with a knockoff lion ig

TIL! seems that he's based off the red/black lion known as guan gong / kwan kung / 关公!

irl, they look like this (which also explains where his black/red color scheme comes from)

this specific lion is one of 3, the other two are 2 other historical figures from romance of the 3 kingdoms (liu bei and zhang fei. this one comes from guan yu)

his constellation name is Leo Expergiscens which means awakening lion. it's 醒狮 in chinese, which is another name for lion dance used in canton/guangdong !!!

NO INCOME FROM LION DANCING T_T it's his side hustle.....

your honor he's perfect please release him alr

(At Hob's flat)

Matthew: Hey, Boss's husband. I've got a knock-knock joke for you. ...You know what those are, right? 👀

Hob: ...Matthew, I'm more than 600 years old. Of course I know what knock-knock jokes are.

Matthew: Okay, good! You'll enjoy this, then! So uh, knock knock.

Hob: Who's there?

Matthew: Turn down for.

Hob, perking up: Turn down for who?

Matthew: TURN DOWN FOR WHAT

(Hob and Matthew start dancing like possessed worms)

Dream, who is also more than 600 years old and is watching this from the safety of the couch:

enterprise text posts: featuring trip and t'pol

#star trek enterprise #star trek #trip tucker #t'pol #trip x t'pol #enterprise text posts #mine #i have been overcome with the nostalgia of making silly text post memes like its 2014 again. #if you know me at all you'll know this had to be the first themed set i made. i've been brain rotted over them since age 12 #i think they did serious damage to my developing adolescent mind #anyway. they're all funny to me but that last one takes me out everytime i think about it.

the true potential of cross guild is that no matter what, buggy can Only fail upwards. like i genuinely do think that mihawk and crocodile will come to begrudgingly respect buggy for inexplicably revitalizing their dreams and aspirations as actual pirates vs treating everything as business and never trusting anyone, but consider: Cross Guild just keeps expanding after the fact

Gecko Moriah and Perona, after their encounter with the Blackbeard Pirates, salvage what they can of their crew and join up

Doflamingo is broken out of Impel Down alongside Bon Clay in a second prison break scandal and they both decide to join up

Rayleigh, wanting protection for Amazon Lily and for Boa to gain more allies, gets in touch with Buggy after all this time to join his crew ala Jinbe joining Luffy

Neo MADS, in need of resources and manpower after their scuffle with the Big Mom Pirates, contact and eventually conglomerate into Cross Guild, meaning Caesar Clown, Judge and the Vinsmoke siblings all join as well

Vivi meeting up with them alongside Wapol after escaping Mary Geoise and joining them, at least until she can find the Straw Hats

Buggy, through no reason other than being gods favorite chewtoy, straight up having a fully decked out Yonko crew of former warlords, legends and everything in between where no one takes him truly seriously but at the very least respect his authority as Yonko to not kill him. but oh boy do they keep him guessing. the only reason it doesnt fall apart is because they're all united in dunking on this silly little clown that, for the funniest reasons ever, is luckier than the devil himself to not be killed by them

#zerav meme #one piece #Listen to me. theres that theory of cross guild being made up of the broken dreamers panels from rogers execution (the trio + doffy/moria) #But. All the emperors. it would be soooooo fucking funny #buggy having an equal force to luffys straw hat grand fleet AND the marines #unironically i think the Big War thats going to come in the final saga is gonna be Luffy Vs Marines Vs Cross Guild. full on mayhem fighting #everyone is here!!! #cross guild #buggy the clown #sir crocodile #dracule mihawk #EDITORS NOTE I FORGOT TO MENTION. UTA . UTA FOR CROSS GUILD LETS FUCKING GO
