I made a meme in spite of the two apps below, which for me personally became just the worst.

Instagram because it doesn't help users with stolen profiles

Twitter because Musk is making an awful mess out of the platform

Tumblr is just 10 steps forward imo

#instagram #twitter #tumblr #spiderman meme #spiderman across the spiderverse #i hate instagram with a passion #twitter just became worse #tumblr best platform

Tumblr is the only social media platform that makes me happy because it doesn't force feed content down my throat or enable negativity. Thanks Tumblr 👍

Which is your favorite platform? (of the ones you have accounts to post things I mean. I can't imagine it being Instagram since you don't really post there which honestly fair)

Tumblr, Twitter (X?) bluesky? Something else?

I think I'm going to have to go with tumblr, and it's not just because we're here. Twitter and Bluesky are nice and my experiences on both are overwhelmingly positive. But tumblr has an atmosphere that encourages originality, sharing your creations and talking about things in depth.

#I dislike the mindset of making “content” and when I'm posting here I don't feel like I have to tailor my posts to be #as easily consumable by as many people as possible #microblogging platforms are fast paced and you're constantly fighting the algorithm #making long text posts is inconvenient and usually not worth the trouble #so I rarely talk about my characters or their lore outside of tumblr #what's nice is that when you ramble about your personal projects and fictional fixations here people tend to be pretty receptive to it #like they Get These Feelings and are able to analyze and read between the lines really well at least if you ask me #on top of that customizing your browsing experience and curating an organized blog is easier #and above everything I love and cherish tumblr's tag culture #very often the best commentary I get comes from tags #answered #anonymous #instagram continues to give me bad vibes and going there has always felt like a chore

am i the only one who finds tiktok hate on tumblr a little like. excessive.

let's be real here. tiktok is, by majority i'd say, teenagers. yes, those teenagers sometimes do and say stupid things. but a lot of you guys here are in your twenties, or older. and like, as a teenager who also does and says stupid things, not cool! it's not cool to be an adult making fun of teenagers doing things you know DAMN WELL you'd be doing too if you were our age.

you guys wanna preach and preach your live and let live lifestyle until oh! people on tiktok do something that copies you, and do it differently. oh no! oh my god! it's the end of the world!!! shut up

#tbh i dont think this is a hot take its lukewarm at best but a lot of you guys take tiktok hate wayyy too far #like i used to use it and yeah dumb shit went on but i also made some really good friends there that ive kept over the years #so calm down! chill #zepotha #goncharov #not directed towards u if youre just like poking fun at it but if ur just genuinely hating and being an asshole then like. shut up #also last note. dont forget that again tiktok is a much different platform with different skill levels and again #different ages #so yeah nobodys gonna go in depth as you guys for the fucking bit #so applause to tumblr i guess now get off your high horse

my worst OFMD take is that out of the three guys who are hopelessly in love with Ed, Jack has actually treated him the best. Like yeah he was a huge shit head in every way but he didn't threaten to kill him or rip his heart out of his chest and stomp on it. The bar is in the fucking ground someone get Ed some icecream or something.

#jack is won the least painful Ed boyfriend competition the way tumblr is currently winning best social media platform #the bar is in the ground and Jack did start digging to try to get under it but then he got bored and challenged a bird to a duel instead

I wish there was like. Tutorials on how to use different social medias that isn’t just “here’s how to set up an account.”

I got a Bluesky but there doesn’t seem to be hashtags, I have no idea how to actually get people to see my art if they aren’t already following me. There’s like lists but nothing on how to post to them? I feel too old for this shit which doesn’t bode well for the majority of my lifespan.

#ramblies #I want like a friendly video about how to be an artist on different platforms and how the app culture varies #but in general I just kinda hate Twitter/Instagram models because the best part of Tumblr is that art keeps getting reblogged years later #whereas all the other sure make you make a whole new post every time you want to remind people you made something

WIP Wednesday

I'm back with more MLC excerpts!! (sorry I missed the last 2 weeks!)

In honor of it being the 1 year anniversary of my neurosurgery and of my finally being over the sinus infection from hell enough to write, here's an extra long excerpt (. . . and an extra evil cliffhanger? #sorrynotsorry. It will all work out, I promise)!

This is more from the (difanghua) MLC fic where DFS and FDB rescued LLH from the donghai beach after his shiniang tried to sacrifice herself to cure him and he shattered his own heart meridian to stop her.

For anyone who's interested in seeing how I put my analysis from the CPTSD meta into practice via fic writing, enjoy!

(To read earlier excerpts–although it’s not necessary!– you can follow these links to read part 1 (LLH), part 2 (FDB), part 3 (DFS), part 4 (DFS), or part 5 (FDB), or part 6 (LLH). Oh, and another excerpt from a WIP ask (LLH))

TW: panic attack, medical emergency, flashback (nonconsensual medical procedure)

**

He shivered as familiar icy tendrils tore through him, chilling him to the bone.

Damn it.

“Xiaohua? What’s wrong? Is–is this a trick?”

“Xiangyi, what do you need?”

He tapped the three points on his chest that had always controlled these attacks before and slid his hand down.

Nothing happened.

He tried again. A wet cough ripped itself free and black spots started to crowd in front of his eyes.

Firm hands gripped his shoulder and spun him 90 degrees.

A large palm pressed against his back, radiating a slow, creeping warmth. Familiar callouses returned to his wrist, pushing down far harder than before.

“He needs Yangzhouman into his zhong fu,” a-Fei said, from somewhere close behind his ear. “Now!”

A shaking finger poked his lung meridian, and a sharp pain flared along his collarbone.

“Less than that! Calm your qi if you want him to live,” a-Fei snapped.

“Sorry,” Xiaobao murmured, his breath brushing against his face.

Time crawled like qi through his meridians.

After a few breaths, the chokehold on his lungs began to relax, and the icicles that had replaced his bones began to thaw.

He let his shoulders fall from their perch by his ears, used some of the Yangzhouman to force the Bicha flare back to more manageable levels, and circulated some of the newly introduced Yangzhouman through what remained of his lung meridian, and through his newly reconstructed heart meridian. It did feel sturdier, didn’t it? Thicker than it used to be. As though it had been reinforced–

–his qi battering against the walls of his meridians, desperately trying to–

“Xiangyi? What is it?”

The room suddenly felt far too small. He needed more space, more air, needed this transfer to be done. Immediately. “That’s plenty. You can stop now.”

The thin stream of qi from his back cut out, but the one on his chest pulsed on.

His skin crawled with the need to get up, this instant. “Xiaobao, I said stop. Save some for yourself.”

“Don’t be ridiculous. I’ve barely given you any yet.”

Li Lianhua’s hands started to shake. “It’s more than enough.”

“Will you quit lying? I can still see the Bicha lines on your neck.”

That was it. Another second of this and he’d make a break for the door, legs willing or no. “Brat, listen to your shifu.” He flung his arm up to bat Xiaobao’s away.

“Shifu?” His wrist was grabbed before his arm could make contact. “I’m not falling for that again, you old fox. So don’t–” a hard jab to an acupoint,

“even–” a second hit, and he forgot how to breathe,

“try it!”

***

“–Stop fighting it, Xiangyi. Listen to Shiniang. Please, let me save you!”

“I said, let me GO.” He lashed his qi against his acupoints again, with more force than any blow he’d leveled before, even at his shixiong at the end. The reinforced structures started to shake. Just one more hit, that’s all it would take, and then–

“–Fang Duobing! What did you do?” “N-nothing! I just–”

“Undo it! Now!”

“But he was about to–”

“NOW!”

Li Xiangyi blasted his qi against the obstruction with all his strength.

There was a loud crash, the sound of splintering wood.

A wet, pained gasp from somewhere far in front of him.

“Fang Duobing!”

“I’m fine. Xiaohua, are you ok? Say something!”

Why did Xiaobao sound so pained?

Li Lianhua blinked his eyes open to a blurry haze.

But he didn’t need clear vision to recognize Xiaobao’s silhouette–

–slammed against the cabinets–

–with red spreading around him.

“Xiaobao,” he gasped, and tried to stumble out of bed.

“A-Fei, don’t let him–”

The world tilted wildly.

A hand pressed against his chest.

“Xiangyi, don’t you fucking dare di–”

Do you think we’ll ever get to see their houses? I never see you draw environments but I would love to see them in Machete’s villa or Vasco’s estate

It's definitely on my to-do list for next year! Trying to figure out backgrounds in general.

#I have a bunch of short comics thumbnailed that I'd love to finish #I think chances are you might enjoy some of them #and I'm doing my best to build up the nerve to start posting mature pieces more frequently as well #on appropriate platforms of course I think they'd be a little too risque for tumblr #I'd like to show them and a bunch of people would like to see them but I'm just awkward I guess #but I'm working on that #answered #anonymous

Trans people don't have to abandon their entire pre-transition lives, and this is something I wish more people could acknowledge and respect.

There's an expectation for trans people to abandon every aspect of their "old selves", that it is only right for us to renounce everything that we were or that we thought we were before discovering we are trans.

Trans people will sometimes engage in communities that are "antithetical" to our current understandings of ourselves for so many reasons. For instance, a trans man might go to a lesbian meet-up because the lesbian community was the first place he could explore his gender and presentation in an environment that tends towards accepting gender and presentation deviance. There are way more examples of this, but my point is that trans people are not bad, or lying about their current gender, or heaven-forbid are predatory for engaging with these communities. You don't have to understand why some people do what they do, but I find that there is so much fear mongering about trans people who don't "match" what's expected of their gender or transition. Not all trans people will retain their pre-transition lives, and that's fine. Some of us do, though, and both these types of trans people can coexist; we take away nothing from each other by existing.

#trans #transgender #lgbt #lgbtq #ftm #mtf #nonbinary #like i've unironically seen people equating a trans man at a lesbian meet-up to a predator going to a lesbian meet-up and like...#...you realize how that's different right???? same went for trans women at gay meet-ups #same for nonbinary people at 'womens events' and 'mens events'#like trans people existing isn't predatory and i'm so tired of people equating us to predators #do you *have* to understand? no. but it's not an excuse to be transphobic #i don't go to lesbian spaces because i don't have a connection with them and don't ID as lesbian however i am not the only Guy in existance #your experiences are not universal ect ect #similar to another post but also. i'm living my best life and i don't particularly feel the need to slog through the horrid tag search #tumblr legit has the worst search function of any media platform i have been on ngl

actually insane you have to post daily, if not multiple times, on platforms like twitter and instagram, to even be in the vicinity of being seen by people who follow you, let alone brand new audience lol this is why tumblr is still king, people will not like or reblog your stuff simply because they don’t give a shit

#and now for the non memey-part of the post: i've seen many artists lately on twitter #who have not been able to upload constantly and return to a 18k+ following #and have their posts get maybe 1 like because THEY'RE NOT BEING PUT ON PEOPLE'S TIMELINES #i'll burn your algorithms to the ground and build them back up with the tried and true tumblr noodle code #the tag system might not be working here on the best of days but it's not because of the algorithm #why are social media platforms so obsessed with making artists suffer #this is genuinely so upsetting for freelancers #even if you just wanna vibe as a hobbyist or as someone who simply wants to follow artists #you'll either not be seen or not see the people you follow #STOP THAT !#GET SOME HELP !
