You know if you really want to help an artist on this fucking hellsite of a sharing platform you can reblog their art.
It takes 2 seconds.
But it means that maybe someone else gets to see it too.
Tumblr’s algorithm is very time orientated and if someone isn’t in the right timezone they have no chance unless people reblog it
Liking is great, but it doesnt share it. If you really like a piece. Reblog it.
Art is fucking hard and artists need more appreciation
See this got 72 fucking notes in 30 minutes because the right people reblogged it.
A prime example of what can happen when you reblog people’s art
The same goes for any creative art.
Writing? Gif making? Editing?
All arts that people pour their heart and soul into deserve to get recognition for that piece of themselves they share with the world
Nothing like having a post up for 3 hours and getting this like to reblog ratio I really enjoy being an artist sometimes 🙂
In fact, I have more 🙂 it’s real cute people think this isn’t a serious issue with tumblr and just reblog this for the sake of it without paying attention, here’s some lovely ratios I want you to just…. think about
some things that horror movie culture has taught you are scary…. are just ableist
….clarify?
okay sure. psychosis? scarier to have than to know someone who has it. DID? im more a threat to myself than people around me. wheelchairs and psych meds? are tools that help people live more functional and flexible lives and are not judgments of the persons character and for sure are not scary things. and for real, intellectually disabled people are not threats, but movies love to make them villains because they act different and understand the world differently. and people with notable physical differences? people who’s bodies look different? people with scars, growths, amputations, etc? are literally just people. and seeing themselves painted like monsters on the big screen is absolutely sickening and damaging to how society will see them.
its not only bad writing but its extremely harmful to people who actually live with conditions that are misrepresented in media. when i found out i had DID, my mom freaked out because her only point of reference was Sybil. when i was younger and first went on psych meds, i thought it meant i was set on a track to be a bad person, because in so many movies and video games you find out the bad guy has medication in his bed side table for some sort of psych disorder. the worst thing a hallucination has ever made me do was wake my mom up at 3 AM to check my bathroom to see if the bugs i saw everywhere were real and the worst thing an “episode” of any sort has made me do is hurt myself. my ptsd doesnt make me kill people, my alters dont kidnap people, my autism doesnt make me so morally unaware that ill murder for senselessly, my ocd doesnt make me hurt people etc etc etc
literally the only “horror” is the ableism. and the only way you can write good horror about disability and mental illness is if the focus is on how society and the medical field treat us rather than focusing on how we are apparently so scary, threatening, and bad.
shoutout to 10th century norway for having the only medieval penal code (gulaþinglög) i’ve read that not only doesn’t suggest you torture people but explicitly says tortured confessions are made out of fear and you should specifically not listen to them. good job 10th century norway
also shoutout to tumblr mobile for letting me blog exclusively in hot pink

Merle has peach fuzz on his face, curly hair and glasses and is wearing socks with sandles and a t-shirt that reads “Pan Camp.” He is holding a small potted plant. Taako has bangs, braces on his teeth, and is wearing sunglasses, a cardigan, and skinny jeans with sneakers. Magnus has a mullet, pimples, and is wearing a letterman jacket with a Big Dog t-shirt underneath, and has a wallet chain hanging out of his pocket. End description.]
Last night on stream we listened to the high school live show and I was under legal obligation to draw Tres Teeny Boys again
Confession time: my teen Taako is inspired by this kid from that Vine
god i had a weird dream that the Mcelroy brothers started doing their own paranormal adventure show but it was just them going to haunted places and rating them based on how haunted it was.
At the end of the show Justin was like “yeah it’s a haunted hospital so it loses points for being overdone but Griffin got possessed and ghosts tried to kill Travis so that brought in some fun and flair. 7/10″
