To myself: “It’s ok to make bad art it’s ok to make bad art it’s ok to make bad art it’s ok to make bad art”

*the art is bad*

“Why did you follow this person ? uwu”

I’ve been here for fourteen years, do you think I remember? I don’t know who any of these people are anymore. I don’t know why they’re on my dash. I allow them to stay because they haven’t pissed me off enough to unfollow them yet. “Why did you follow this person?” I’m not sure I ever did. They’re just part of my ecosystem now.

the problem with having a decade old tumblr blog is that there are posts on it from a decade ago

i’ve become a completely different person like 5 separate times since making those posts and there are STILL people finding them somehow

after working for goddamn near 6 years, our savings finally feel secure enough to start building an online shop!!! 😭😭😭 i dabbled in a little bit of everything throughout that time, but i think i want to focus my effort into plushies, enamel, and epoxy 💕

But!!! since i will be out of work, i think i will start taking commissions for the first time in a LONG time starting this summer 🥺

i just remembered a story my first plug told me. she's butch and gets mistaken for a man a lot. one time she was walking home when a guy pulled a knife on her and asked for everything in her pockets. panicking, she said "ok" and the guy hearing her voice was like "oh shit, are you a girl?" and she was like "yeah" and he put the knife away and said something like "sorry. i can't do this to a woman" and left. feminist ally.

it's a tragedy i couldn't find this post in time for international women's day. happy belated women's day to this guy.

HAPPY FUCKIN INTERNATIONAL WOMENS DAY

mom, can you pick me up? people in the notes are fighting over whether or not this is really feminism. yeah, they're saying he should've mugged her. yeah, for feminism. no, i think theyre being serious. at least one of them is. im scared, can you come get me?

They just shut down the eShop too lmao

There should be zero legal protections for abandoned tech. If Nintendo no longer sells certain games and consoles, it should be 100% legal for people to make copies and build their own consoles. In fact, Nintendo should be required to release all development tools relating to their past consoles so that people who still give a shit about them can produce high-quality consoles and games. It should be possible for someone in nowhere Kansas to produce a brand new, official quality copy of Pokemon Emerald to play on original hardware the way it was intended.

This is not an issue of piracy and intellectual property, this is an issue of art preservation. It took decades for video games to finally reach the point of being largely considered art, but game companies do not respect their own productions as art. If they did, they would care about those pieces of art being available for as long as people wish to consume them, even if it means letting them out of their iron grip.

Rest in Peace Akira Toriyama (1955-2024)

He was genuinely one of the very best, no one did it like him. Goodbye, grandfather of Shounen.
