Me and my friend talking about Rengoku:
Nobody:
Literally no one:
Her: "If he were licking pussy would he still say 'Umai'? đ¤"
Honestly.... I'm not surprised...
Also that description had no right calling me out like that-
oh no, Iâve accidentally created another quizâŚ.would be a shame if people took this one too.
hey! as an artist do you ever feel discouraged by the like/reblog ratio here? ive been postin art here for some time and ive found for every 20 likes i get maybe 1 reblog and while i dont wanna come over as greedy it like kinda discourages me :( i would rlly like to stay on tumblr bc it feels much more anonymous than insta/twitter but i also crave Validation ykno. ty in advance!
Okay, but I fear you wonât like my answer...Â
My reply is - no, I donât, because tumblr actually makes it super easy to ignore the reblog/like ratio. The two are lumped together into a category called ânotesâ so unless you are looking for it, you wonât know what your reblog/like ratio is, and itâs super easy to view it as a lump sum of people who saw your art and smiled.
Hereâs the thing; liking vs reblogging is not personal. And it isnât something to try to change the tide over. Iâve seen my fair share of posts on here AND twitter, with most of them CONDEMNING liking - going so far as to call it useless. But I disagree. Strongly.Â
My opinion on the matter is this - if people wanted to reblog the post, they would reblog it. If they donât, the cards werenât right. The stars didnât align. It isnât a matter of quality - itâs a matter of the right content being there at the right time for the right audience. Because letâs face is - PLENTY of stuff gets reblogged.... when the circumstances are right.
But the circumstances HAVE to be right. EXACTLY right. There has to be a CHAIN of the exact right circumstances. Thatâs how sharing ANYTHING works.Â
Let me put it this way - say we have a hypothetical follower called J.Â
J is scrolling his dashboard and comes across a post he likes, say, of a frog picture. He likes the post and has to make a decision - to reblog or not reblog the frog?
Say he likes the frog enough to reblog. Itâs a natural thing - he wants to show it to his followers. He may not think of it consciously, but heâs following an instinct to share information with people.Â
But what happens after? Well, itâs not RANDOM. The thing is, Jâs followers are NOT the followers of the blog he reblogged it from. Theyâre a degree of separation from the OP, and are therefore that much less likely to share interests that align with the OPâs content.Â
SO what happens is this:
Some people on Jâs follower list see the frog and like it.Â
Of the ones that like it, a percentage are just liking out of habit and politeness.
A few are liking it to find it later and show it to their irl friends.
A few are liking it because they DONâT want to reblog it, because it doesnât align with what they want to show to THEIR followers (who are, letâs be honest, even MORE removed from the OPâs frog-centric content).
And whoâs to blame?Â
ABSOLUTELY NO ONE. Because you cannot force people to reblog stuff any more than you can force people to show their friend their phone when they see a funny meme.Â
This is ridiculous, right? We cannot presume that people are not reblogging because theyâre out to be malicious on purpose. Most likely they just arenât motivated enough to share it in their own social circles for their own reasons - and thatâs FINE.Â
Look, I get it. People not sharing your stuff gets you less notes. I get how that is disappointing. But if you put ALL of your motivation into internet clout, then you have to put effort into making your art VISIBLE. Thatâs the only way to get more reblogs.Â
For example, if youâre prioritizing visibility:
Get more social media accounts. Make sure the usernames are the same, or at least recognizable, across all social media.Â
Organize your art tumblr and twitter. Make a pinned post that shows off your best work. TAG! Learn common tags used for artwork similar to yours.
Interact with other artists! Comment on posts! Reblog othersâ artwork!Â
NETWORK!!! That is the only way to guarantee that the flowchart of reblogs gets more than once branch.
Twitter circumvents this issue by shoving likes in your face as often as Retweets and thatâs certainly one way to give your reblog-tree a boost, but itâs not foolproof. Tumblr has tags you can follow - and that DOES give you more of a possibility of getting reblogs of the content because if people are in a tag, they are LOOKING for stuff. On purpose. They already like what they see.
I feel your pain, I really do, because it took me literal YEARS to find an audience that consistently likes and reblogged my stuff. And your audience deserves to find you - but your followers arenât your agent. Itâs not their job to advertise on your behalf.Â
Theyâll reblog when they want to - and thatâs a good thing. Itâs more genuine that way.Â
Best post I've seen today 10000000/10
my favorite m/f ship dynamic is: loveable wholesome dumbass and gnc girl whoâs kinda mean sometimes
REBLOG IF YOU SUPPORT BISEXUALS!!
My parents are saying âI need to make my mind upâ and I want to prove them that bisexuals are valid
As a teenage artist who only started drawing seriously three years ago on crappy notebook paper during math class.... I seriously wish I found this sooner
being a self-taught artist with no formal training is having done art seriously since you were a young teenager and only finding out that youâre supposed to do warm up sketches every time youâre about to work on serious art when youâre fuckin twenty-five
Reblog this and put in the tags what your blog would taste like
lol
sometimes I wanna reply âbitch me tooâ to my mutuals posts but Iâve never talked 2 them so they might not see it as friendly joking so i just dont
Iâll never understand why anthropomorphic animal cartoons like Robin Hood and Zootopia will go to the trouble of creating character designs that are meant to be understood as âattractiveâ or even âsexyâ to the human audience but explicitly avoid showing interspecies romances between anthropomorphic animals. Why is THAT weird but, like, trying to make rabbits recognizably sexy-coded to humans isnât?
so can we start hunting down white liberals now or what
What happens once you kill yourself? Because I'm ready to go.
You wanna know what happens once you kill yourself? Your mother comes home from work and finds her baby dead and she screams and runs over to you and tries to get you to wake up but you wonât and she keeps screaming and shaking you and her tears are dripping onto your face and your dad hears all the screaming and runs into the room and he canât even speak because the child that he loved and the child that he watched grow up is gone forever and finally your little sister runs into the room to see what all the fuss is about and she sees you dead. The person she looked up to and loved. The person she bragged about to  her friends, the person she wanted to be just like when she grew up, the person that made her feel safe. But sheâs never really going to get to grow up and smile and laugh and love because sheâll always be consumed with this feeling of missing you. And now thereâs something missing from your family and they can barely look at each other anymore because everything reminds them of you but youâre gone and hurts more than anything. and you think that your mom never cared because she was always busy and yelling at you to finish your homework and clean your room and forgot to say I love you sometimes but really, she loved you more than anything and she doesnât leave the house anymore, she canât even get out of bed and sheâs getting thinner and thinner because itâs too hard to eat. Your father had to quit his job and he doesnât sleep anymore, every time he closes his eyes he sees his baby dead, and the image never goes away no matter how much alcohol he drinks. And at school your best friend sees that your seat is empty and she gets this sick feeling in her stomach and thatâs when she hears the announcement. You killed yourself. And suddenly sheâs screaming and crying in the middle of class and no one even bothers comforting because theyâre all  busy sitting there staring at your empty seat with tears dripping down their cheeks and all she wants is for you to hug her and tell her itâs gonna be okay like you always did, but this time, youâre not there to do it, everything is dark now that youâre gone and her grades are slipping, she barely goes to school anymore and she ended up in hospital after taking too many pills because she wanted to see you again. the girls who used to make fun of the way you dressed feel their throats get tight, they donât talk to each other anymore, they donât talk to anyone, theyâre all in therapy trying so hard not to blame themselves but nothing works. and your teacher who always gave you a hard time stares blankly at the wall, she quits her job a few days later. And then your boyfriend hears the news and he canât breathe, he still calls you a lot just to hear your voice and he talks to you on facebook but you never message him back, he canât fall in love again because every girl he meets reminds him of you, heâs never going to get over you, he loved you and he cries himself to sleep every night, hating himself and slicing his skin because he couldnât save you and heâs never going to hold you in his arms or hear you laugh again. Now everyone who knew you, whether they were a big part of your life or someone you passed in the hallway a few times a week, they carry this aching feeling around inside them because youâre gone, and they miss you, and they donât know why you left but it mustâve been their fault and they shouldâve stopped you and they shouldâve told you they loved you more and that feeling is never going to go away. And so you killed yourself
but you killed everyone else around you too.Â

How dare you all
I always cook the most hearty foods possible and spoil Link with every chance I get (more expensive inn-stays, the most healing foods, lots of elixirs, nearly every outfit in the game, etc).
I'm starting a revolt against those of you that make him eat raw foods and pull all-nighters
My friend who has been hunting all of the korok seeds has allowed Link to eat nothing but raw food
Me and my friends have a discord server devoted to summer bucket lists and fun, right?
One of the channels is "#one-word-story"
Our very first story is as follows (keep in mind, we'll be Freshmen in 2022, so we aren't very mature):
Should I try writing a fanfic in my wattpad abt this? Idk I thought it'd be funny lmao
i never talk about these things but i canât remain silent.
i know tumblr doesnât give a SHIT when things happen in countries outside the âmost popular onesâ (such as the usa & england). itâs true, donât lie to me. yâall donât give A FUCK. not every issue and problem in said countries gets the appropriate exposure but in general shit shows up on the news WORLD FREAKING WIDE. you set up donations, you help out, your spread the word, you say âpray for xââŚâŚ
southern europe is burning.Â
my country is burning.
people are dying - at home, on the road, trying to run away, in their cars.
yesterday my country had 300 active fires.
people are losing EVERYTHING they own.
i have a friend that is on a train right now passing through places that have been burnt to the ground and she says the smoke is so intense itâs getting inside the train and she can barely breathe.
and yet, even though several people (myself included) have been trying to bring awareness to what has been happening in southern europe⌠what we get from most of you, those not part of the countries suffering, is silence. we donât ask for money, we donât ask for shit other than a reblog to spread awareness⌠something you can delete in 24/48hrs if you wish.Â
i donât know what to tell you. iâm angry. iâm frustrated. iâm disappointed. i feel like iâm screaming into the void. âa reblog does nothingâ - you know thatâs a damn lie, you know exposure always helps, you know people start paying attention when posts on social media become popular. my country in particular is a small one, we get ZERO exposure. yâall are only starting to figure out we even fucking exist bc of the shit weâve been winning lately.Â
but hell, if the EU doesnât give a shit, why should some user on tumblr dot com?
again, i donât know what to tell you so iâll let the images speak for themselves:Â

Back in November, we learned that Disney had pulled a breathtakingly criminal wage-theft manuever on one of science-fictionâs most beloved authors, Allan Dean Foster, an elderly cancer-patient caring for his sick wife.
https://pluralistic.net/2020/11/19/disneymustpay/#disneymustpay
Foster is the bestselling author of some of the most successful movie novelizations ever, from the first STAR WARS novel to ALIENS novels and more. Thanks to Disneyâs monopolistic buying spree of companies like Lucas and Fox, they now owned the movies and Fosterâs contract.
Hereâs where things get criminally weird. Disney argued that when they bought out Lucas, Fox, etc, they acquired their assets, but not their liabilities. In other words, theyâd acquired the right to sell Fosterâs work, but not the obligation to pay him when they did.
This is not how copyright contracts work, period. If it were, then any publisher with a runaway bestseller novel could incorporate a new company, sell its assets - but not its liabilities - to that company, and stiff the writer.
Both Fosterâs agent and the Science Fiction Writers of America tried to negotiate with Disney quietly on this, but they were stonewalled and insulted (Disney insisted that they wouldnât even *discuss* a deal without first getting nondisclosure agreements from Foster, another unheard-of tactic).
After failing to make progress with private negotiations, they went loudly public, launching the #DisneyMustPay campaign. The good news is, the campaign was successful, and Foster has been paid.
The bad news is that the campaign flushed out *many* writers who are also having their wages stolen by Disney. The company is stalling them, too - refusing to search its records or volunteer info unless the authors can name the specific instances in which theyâve been robbed.
In response, SFWA has joined forces with the Romance Writers of America, the Horror Writers of America, the National Writers Union, Sisters in Crime and the Authors Guild to form a coalition called Writers Must Be Paid.
https://www.writersmustbepaid.org/
They have a form where writers who suspect that Disney has stolen their wages can report it, anonymously:
https://airtable.com/shrE1hJbqMHsjP9Ll
Thereâs a reason for the anonymity: Disneyâs anticompetitive mergers (culminating with the destructive Fox merger) has created a monopoly with vast market-power to destroy creatorsâ livelihoods by excluding them for speaking out.
The coalition has five modest demands for Disney:
I. Honor contracts now held by Disney and its subsidiaries
II. Provide royalty payments and statements to all affected authors
III. Update their licensing page with an FAQ for writers about how to handle missing royalties
IV. Create a clear, easy-to-find contact person or point for affected authors.
V. Cooperate with author organizations who are providing support to authors and agents.
More broadly, I hope this brings more creative workers into the discussion about competition.
Specifically, âmonopsony,â the excessive buying power that happens when a companies dominate access to a market, which allows them to squeeze their suppliers, especially workers.
beating breath of the wild in under 40 minutes is an incredible feat and also fucking excellent in the context of the game. ganon spends 100 fucking years preparing this onslaught, building energy, getting ready to tear the world apart, and one elf twink wakes up butt-ass naked in a cave and legs it to the castle and kicks ganonâs ass apart in under an hour with a sword he found along the way

Link has kitten sneezes. Zelda has dad sneezes. End of story.
Like Link doesnât sneeze he just scrunches his face and has this whole body shiver. Where as Zelda shakes the whole fucking house with her sneezes and Link thinks itâs adorable after the first like... 5 times of her scaring the shit out of him.
