This is the dream, tho?
Secret to getting to know other fans on tumblr is reblogging. This sounds like a trap to get you guys to reblog art and fics and gifs which yes that’s an added benefit but also the way you get a feel of followers or mutuals is the little comments in the tags of a post like subtle little whispers and you start to recognise names like oh that’s the one who’s always nice to artists or that’s the funny one or maybe they have a funny queue pun tag or maybe there can be a little prev tags interaction like that’s how you start creating your own little likeminded souls club here. Also you get to put pretty art and fics and gifs on your blog
shame is so frustratingly paralyzing. like oh i'm ashamed i didn't do this thing im supposed to do and the guilt and embarrassment is cooking me from the inside out so bad that i can't face the thing or do the thing, even tho doing the thing would mitigate the hot boiling lava of shame currently giving me an ulcer
DONT STOP TALKING ABOUT PALESTINE. WE GOT A GLIMPSE OF WHAT PUBLIC TELEVISION & MASS BROADCAST MEDIA IS POWERWASHING THE TV-OWNING PUBLIC WITH THE CONCEPTION THAT “ANTISEMITISM” IS CROPPING UP ON CAMPUSES LIKE WILDFIRE WITHOUT EVER MENTIONING WHATS ACTUALLY BEING SAID. LIKELY THINGS LIKE “FROM THE RIVER TO THE SEA” BUT THEY WONT CONFIRM ANYTHING. ITS INSIDIOUS.
SPREAD THE TRUTH. SPREAD THE TRUTH. BY GD SPREAD THE TRUTH.
I MADE THIS POST MONTHS AGO AND THE VIOLENT PROPAGANDA HONESTLY HAS ONLY HEIGHTENED SINCE. WEVE SEEN THE MARTYRING OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE SINCE, JOURNALISTS TARGETED WITH ABANDON. DO NOT FALTER. DO NOT LET THEIR WORDS, VIDEOS, REPORTS, FALL ON DEAF EARS. DO NOT DEAFEN YOURSELF EITHER. DO NOT FALL SILENT, FOR ANYONE ELSES COMFORT, FOR YOYR OWN COMFORT. NOT UNTIL PALESTINE IS FREE, UNTIL ISRAEL IS CRUSHED. THIS IS IMPERATIVE. DO NOT STOP TALKING ABOUT PALESTINE.
People don't like to admit it bcs cringe or w/e but Homestuck really did revolutionize the webcomic as a storytelling medium and I am endlessly frustrated that before webcomic artists could really stretch our legs fucking webtoonz swooped in, set a new, more restrictive standard, and then monetized and monopolized the ever living fuck out of the concept of The Webcomic until it drove away anyone who couldn't be a professional quality manga artist for free, and now the only webcomics that actually feel like spiritual successors to Homestuck are so obscure they're basically cult classics that you have to beg people to read.
Like it's just so wild to be in high school and see Homestuck be like "we're using like fifteen different artistic mediums to tell this story bcs we can" and be really fucking inspired by that, only to grow up and see basically every webcomic ever have to conform to One Single Standard or fucking perish.
Actually, I realized my real point here: we all need to make our art weirder. Please make weird art. I want more stuff like Prequel Adventure and 17776 and MyHouse.wad and I want it now. Capitalism thrives on conformity. We must be weird at all costs.
it's depressing to see people eulogizing webcomics in the notes because amazing and cool and weird webcomics still exist on the internet, you just have to Visit Web Sites
and i don't have any sources to cite to back myself up here but i feel that younger folks experiencing The Internet through phones & tablets rather than PCs forces them to live on apps, like webtoon, so that's where they're going to go to read webcomics
as webcomic creators, we kind of have to go where the audience is. god i know a lot of comic folks right now with amazing comics on websites starting to mirror their comics to webtoon/tapas because audiences *expect* you to be there
anyway. stop saying webcomics are dead. go to websites & look at them. thank u
But *where do I find them* you ask?
I've got some neat answers for you.
->Comic Fury Is a great place to find webcomics(and host your comic there with a lot of custom options)
->Spider Forest is a collective of webcomics- which means members were accepted to be in a group that support each other! They've been around since 2003, how cool!
-> Hiveworks comics are curated comics who were accepted into their collection as well. The hub links to many cool and unique webcomics
-> Topwebcomics is a place to find comics to read and vote for your faves
-> The Webcomic Library is a place dedicated to tagging webcomics, so you can browse and select a comic that suits your fancy with the organisation all done for ya!
-> Comic Rocket is a good tool to use if you'd like to bookmark your readthrough and search for new comics to read as well
(feel free to add to the list for more webcomic places too!)
There are SO MANY incredible webcomics out there and I would LOVE for folks to explore the net and find them again. This is the best way to keep ideas unique, weird, and most of all, loved.
So go check out some comics!
Ive noticed recently that my generation has... no concept of what the various economic classes actually are anymore. I talk to my friends and they genuinely say things like "at least i can afford a middle class lifestyle with this job because i dont need a roommate for my one bedroom apartment" and its like... oughh
You guys, middle class doesnt mean "a stable enough rented roof over your head," it means "a house you bought, a nice car or two, the ability to support a family, and take days off and vacations every year with income to spare for retirement savings and rainy days." If all you have is a rented apartment without a roommate and a used car, you're lower class. That's lower class.
And i cant help but wonder if this is why you get kids on tumblr lumping in doctors and actors into their "eat the rich" rhetoric: economic amnesia has blinded you to what the class divides actually are. The real middle class lifestyle has become so unattainable within a system that relies upon its existence that theyve convinced you that those who can still reach it are the elites while your extreme couponing to afford your groceries is the new normal.
Middle class is being able to live 3 months comfortably without a paying job.
#i think a lot of it is also#classism#like people like me who were raised middle class#do not want to admit that after doing everything they were told to do#and getting a 'GOOD' job#they are not now as adults middle class#we were all sold the idea that we'd be moving UPWARD in the economic scheme#our parents were better off than their parents and we will be better of than both#but that is not what has panned out for the majority of us#but if you were taught to view the lower class as lesser and as people who are poor bc they made the wrong choices#then how could you (someone who made all the right choices and got the degrees and the jobs you were supposed to) also be lower class?#like that is the issue here#a lot of younger folks understanding of class is skewed because the class they expected for themselves#is not where they actually ended up#and they cant admit that bc they see that as a failure
In order to satiate my undying curiosity about this subject, I've crafted a survey to ask as unbiased as possible questions about the proship-antiship debate that has been on-going for some years now.
There are direct questions about the key topics of the debate-- that is to say, non-con, incest, and depiction of children --but no content relating to any of those topics. No personal information will be recorded and the survey is completely anonymous.
I heavily encourage you to respond to this survey even if you have no strong opinions; all responses are relevant. Ideally at least 1,000 responses will be collected to yield a generous sample size, so please share this if you fill it out!
