[Image ID: a meme that consists of a compilation of screenshotted tags that read: “#top ten guys i want to put in a microwave <3″, “#he is emo -_-”, “#my favorite spimkle spoink”, “#smiling now…this hampster is enriched”, “#im gonna put him in my purse ahuhuh youre coming home with me”, “#ugh my meow meow my skrunkly my little pogchamp my”. the compilation has a top text in caps that read “Artists don’t want compliments in tags” and a bottom text also in caps that reads “They want absolute fucking nonsense instead”]
Reminder that palestinians don't owe you shit, and that them begging for you to not ignore them is actually not entitlement. If you find a problem with it, the problem is you <3
And if you prioritize your own comfort over the safety and livelihoods of people suffering genocide, then by all means, keep funding AO3 and keep watching Zionist media. Just know that you will never be remembered except in disdain.
losing my mind at this
You won't reach a point where you don't need references anymore 😭
Even artists who freedraw regularly still do studies, refer to their past work, keep character sheets at hand, etc
Please don't impose that expectation on yourself just because of a live demo, tiktok, or timelapses especially
worried that thing you put in your art or writing or game or music is too self-indulgent, too self-referential, too niche for anyone but yourself? fear not! you can do whatever you want forever. and you should.
booktok videos should be categorized as some sort of threat to public health

Can you please talk more about bryan dechart and his wife I hate them both of them can get a acting job but they are are youtube playing games and please talk about jesse williams in the dbh community
bryan dechart admitting this is his burner acct under oath when he’s on trial for being mean to me…
kidding, though it’s sooo funny that i get asks like these even years after i stopped being in that fandom for good like what’s going onnnn. anyways, i love jesse williams <33 he was absolutely brilliant in omitb (wish i were mabel that should be ME kissing him wtfff) and i am glad that he is using his platform to speak abt the ongoing genocide in palestine. jesse has always been a loud activist and someone who fights for social justice. it just sucks that the dbh community has tossed him aside to favor the white actor which we should’ve seen it coming. i know jesse hasn’t really talked about dbh (for good reason ngl) but from the times that he has, he was really enthusiastic to talk about the project. however, the dbh community has NOT treated him kindly and it comes to show how incredibly racist that community was and still is.
again, these two just banked off their whiteness and called it a day. they bring nothing new to the table and i am wondering why they still have a “platform”. though it’s small, it’s still there and there are signs of life. they cannot seem to let go of their 15 minutes of fame despite the fact the every single one of their co-stars have moved on and built up their careers. jesse with only murders in the building, valorie with the boys, clancy with the penguin, jeezzz like how pathetic do you have to be the chase the high of being the center of attention loll go get a real fucking job, bryan and amelia i’ll help you with your resumes
ALTinstead of continuously over-donating to ao3 when those running the site are racist zionist sympathisers who shut down support of palestine from its volunteers 1 / 2 (among myriad other issues that u should NOT be funding) please direct your attention to these incomplete fundraisers for people in gaza and various tangible operations doing work. this is a call that if u have donated even a cent to ao3 to a) match that in your donations to palestinians/causes and b) stop donating so uncritically and unconditionally to ao3, pressure them. id like to direct u to @end-otw-racism

Wow. I'm just now seeing this as I was away from tumblr and didn't see that I was tagged but. Honestly I'm really disgusted. Out of spite I want to start a campaign that explicitly focuses on trying to raise an approximate amount of money close to 200 000 USD (it's CAD but hey) to save the lives of 42 members of a big family in Ghazzah, and to match the AO3 campaign's overzealousness. I personally spoke to Mahmoud Qassas and I vetted it. Donate to them!!! We can do this.
fascinating that when you tell people "you have to learn the rules to break them" when talking about drawing/painting etc everyone nods and agrees but the second you say "you have to read books if you want to write better" there's a horde of contrarians begging to be the wrongest people ever all of a sudden
i cannot emphasise enough how much you need to create something. anything. it doesn't matter if you suck. you don't need to monetise it, or make it your career. you can restart an old hobby; you can start from scratch. it doesn't matter. you just need to hold something and be able to say "i did that". baking, drawing, painting, writing, coding, crafts, whatever. make something ! you cannot have all your hobbies be a form of consumption. it's fun, it's great in its own right. but the single best action to make yourself feel better, to calm your mind, to gain self esteem, is to Create
i lied the compliments are very nice too and im in love with you
