selfishness is putting the wants of yourself over the needs of others.
self respect is putting the needs of yourself over the wants of others.
one is disregarding others, one is taking care of yourself.
the difference between the two is the difference between being a friend and a doormat.
taking care of yourself does not make you a bad person
i repeat:
taking care of yourself does NOT make you a bad person
your acts of softness spread ripples throughout the daily lives of others. choose kindness, for even the pebble doesn't know it's great potential impact
Im at work and nobody knows that im painting Doris from Shrek in Pre-Raphaelite style on my ipad.
In case anyone thought I was lying, here is the proof!
My reference was Hanging the Mistletoe by Dante Gabriel Rossetti (Its hard to match with their skill but that lady reminded me of Doris very much)
Miscommunication
Blatantly inspired by that one icarly clip about blood

help the ao3 subreddit is pissing on the poor again
they're acting like "you should consider leaving authors comments instead of exclusively praising their fic in private discord servers they're excluded from, because it's extremely demoralizing to have zero comments and they might stop writing" means "no one should ever discuss fic opinions outside of ao3 and authors should be worshiped like gods"
the post literally says do both!!!! have your private discord discussions AND leave a comment!!! no one is trying to take away your precious rEaDeR's sPaCe, just asking for the basic goddamn courtesy of letting an author know you liked their shit
Limitations breed creativity in doing something despite those limitations, it's a known thing; however, I'd somehow never considered how it would apply to "showing your support for someone in a competition, when you're not allowed to make noise". This is delightful.
Plus, there's the humour that comes from something being MOSTLY familiar, but one important aspect is COMPLETELY opposite. NORMALLY, if you see a video of people cheering someone on, they're, well, cheering; but here, they're quieter than the average person riding the bus.
Reblog to give prev a fucking break holy shit y’all
Yes. We all need a fucking break
Today's children don't know what it was like when half of your photographs would turn out with demonically glowing red eyes.

You can't blame them. Twitter fries their brains, and not to mention, most of them are porn addicts.
It's not a matter of them being 'porn addicts' as much as it is people being baffled people draw porn at all. like so much of the engagement i got on that stupid app was people goin 'WHAT IS BRO DOING?!?1/!???!' and its like!! why are we being so fucking juvenile here??? it's porn!! you know its porn!1 what is the point of going 'JUST SO YOU KNOW IM SHOCKED I SAW PORN GUYS LOOK HOW CRAZY IT IS PORN GETS MADE WAOAAAAHH!!!'
like yes its porn. yes his dick is out, oh my god do you want counselling about it?? should we throw a group therapy party? should we invite the pope?
sorry- not done-
its so indicative of a greater issue too, because so much of that app is just people interacting with content that upsets them CONSTANTLY. why?? why do you feel the need to let people know they've upset you? the artist didn't post this with the intention to make you mad!! thats so fucking clear!!
and when you interact with shit its just pushing more of it into your feed!!! you could keep from ever seeing this again if you just minded your own business!!!!
its so fucking infuriating!!!!!
ALSO IF I DIDNT MAKE MYSELF CLEAR- ITS NOT ABOUT THE OBSCURITY OF THE FETISH OR THE CONTENT IN GENERAL.
YOU SHOULDNT REACT THAT WAY TO ANY KINK BECAUSE ITS WASTING YOUR FUCKING TIME.
Everyone wakes up with a limited amount of energy for each day right??? Why are you using that energy to police ANYONE AT ALL??? You’re not getting paid, there’s no compensation to being weird and mean to people who have an unorthodox fetish
AND MOST IMPORTANTLY OF ALL I CANT STRESS THIS ENOUGH:
THEY DIDNT PUT THE FETISH ON YOUR TIMELINE!!! THE ALGORITHM DID!!! DOG THE LAST THING I OR ANY OTHER PORN ARTIST WANTS IS FOR OUR ART TO END UP SOMEWHERE ITS NOT WANTED!!!
I need everyone to think critically for five seconds! Do you go out and post regular fanart to specifically make people who hate the property angry or upset or uncomfortable on purpose??
NO!!! YOU DONT!!!
YOU MAKE IT FOR THE PEOPLE THAT LIKE IT!!!!
NEWSFLASH: PEOPLE WITH FETISHES ARENT TRYING TO RUIN YOUR LIFE BY MAKING FETISH ART. THEYRE TRYING TO JACK OFF. YOU ARE THE ASSHOLE FOR WALKING INTO THEIR PRIVATE PORN THEATRE AND YELLING ‘OH MY GOD ARE YOU JERKING OFF TO FEET RIGHT NOW?????’
LIKE FUCK ME!!! WHY DO YOU LET THE THINGS THAT MAKE YOU UNCOMFORTABLE RULE YOUR LIFE???? WHAT PURPOSE DOES MAKING YOURSELF UNCOMFORTABLE BY INTERACTING WITH SHIT THAT MAKES YOU UNCOMFORTABLE SERVE????
And also before you go into the tags of this post to say ‘well *I* don’t have any of those weird, immoral, gross, creepy, nasty, gross fetishes, but I don’t comment on people who do because I’m a good person :)’, I need you to consider what it is about those fetishes that are so ‘gross’
who was the fool who was tasked with naming the galaxy and the only adjective they could think of was ‘mmmmmmmmmmmmilky…’
scientist: (gazing up at space) scientist: ……….. it sure is a milky boy
NO
YOU DONT UNDERSTAND
ASTRONOMERS ARE THE SHITTIEST EVER AT NAMING THINGS I KID YOU NOT.
When it came time to name the two theoretical particle types that might be dark matter THEY INTENTIONALLY CHOSE THE NAMES SO THAT THE ACRONYMS WOULD SPELL “WIMPS” AND “MACHOS” I SHIT YOU NOT
THEY ARE FUCKING TERRIBLE AT NAMING ANYTHING
I just listened to a talk by Neil deGrasse Tyson himself LAST NIGHT and he went on about this more than once.
“I’m walking down the street and I’m like ‘ooh pretty rock…’ and some Geologist is like ‘actually, that’s anorthosite feldspar’ and I’m like ‘Nevermind, I don’t want it anymore.’ Any biologists in the audience? [some clapping] Yeah, you know what I’m talking about. The most important molecule in the human body, what did you name it? It has NINE SYLLABLES and it’s so long that even YOU GUYS abbreviate it as ‘DNA’!
But astrophysicists and astronomers? No, man, we call it like we see it. Star made of neutrons? NEUTRON STAR. Small white star? WHITE DWARF. You know that big red spot on Jupiter? Know what we called it? JUPITER’S RED SPOT.”
okay i’m glad you mentioned the biologist nonsense bc their naming methods are the bane of my existence
I see your astrophysicists-are-shit-at-names and raise you Marine-Biologists-Are-Fucking-Maniacs.
See this beautiful creature?
It’s a carnivorous deep-sea sponge that lives off of Easter Island and never sees the light of day, as it’s about 9000 feet down. Those delicate-looking orbs are covered in millions of tiny hooked spines, which latch onto anything unfortunate enough to bump into it, and hold it in place as it is digested alive by the sponge’s skin. Amazing, beautiful and profoundly creepy. They could have given it so many cool names. Could have drawn on mythology (I think Scylla would have been an appropriate reference), the region it was found in, the textured skin, PHAGOCYTOSIS, anything!
You wanna know what they called it?
Good job, marine biologists.
….. I’m just imagining the scientists amongthe Transformers having fits over human science naming conventions…
Mutually unrequited ChengYao but in a funny way like-
JC: Poor Jin Guangyao, he wants to fuck me so bad. 😒 Like, I would if he asked, but it’s sad how much he needs it
JGY: Poor Jiang Cheng, he wants to fuck me so bad. 😌 Like, I would if he asked, but it’s sad how much he needs it
Hey, if you’re sick of nazis on your Tumblr but you keep on having to block new ones, Tumblr’s most recent experimental feature can probably really help you out. It’s called Reblog Graphs and you can test it here.
Basically, what it does is show you a network of how your post was reblogged and who were big influencers in getting lots of reblogs. That’s useful in general but extra usefull if you want to know who to block to get rid of shit on your dash.
For example, this post that I wrote got a lot of notes and when I use Reblog Graphs is generates this graph:
I’m the yellow dot and all the other dots are reblogs, the bigger the dot, the most reblogs originated from that reblog. Next, I can click on the dots and see who they are and what content they added. For example:
When @thatdiabolicalfeminist reblogged my post the result was a lot of supportive reblogs, helpful feedback and conversations that I want to have.
But check out the other cluster:
When wogbeginatcalais reblogged my post the result was a stream of hateful comments by white supremacist, nazi blogs and nazi trolls. Not stuff I want and one reblog started all of it.
I had blocked a lot of white supremacist blogs when the hate started, but according to Reblog Graph I missed out on quite a lot of the most important blogs that were causing my post to be noticed by these shits in the first place. By blocking key nazi dots in this chain, I can now more effectively stop nazi shits from finding my posts. Good to know!
That’s all. Happy Tumblring.
