I Keep Meeting Artists Who Complain That Tumblr Is Dead Then When I Check Their Blog They've Made Four

I keep meeting artists who complain that Tumblr Is Dead then when I check their blog they've made four posts in six months and all of them were self promo lmao. Influencers whining that "tumblr is useless for engagement" tells me every part of the problem, like sorry you can't just show up and farm this userbase for clicks by waving buzzwords around the way you can on tiktok. This is the Excited About Stupid Things website reblog some shitty fanart or die

Undertale was full of raw ass lines and I’m sorry y’all are too chickenshit to acknowledge this because you’ve decided it’s cringy to like things

I was feeling terrible all morning. I've been having a tough few days, but I thought I was past it. The bad mood was weird to me because of that. When I went to go run errands, though, the sky was dreary. I chalked my bad mood up to that, but then it started to rain.

Usually, I get annoyed by the rain. This time, though, it washed all my heartache away. I felt so much better just from seeing it. Smelling the wet bricks, the clay pots, the dirt from the plants at the store. Maybe I've been reading too much poetry, but it reminded me of something.

Rain brings life. It travels, bringing new smells and sensations from place to place. Animals love it because it enriches their lives. It reminds them that the world around them is alive and full.

What a beautiful thing it is, to be alive. To be here on the planet Earth with you. With everyone. Rain is symbolic for life and rebirth, and I remembered that today.

I remembered that just because I'm in pain doesn't mean it will last forever. The rain leads to new life and new beginning. The pain is temporary and life is beautiful.

I'm so glad to be experiencing life on Earth with all of you.

I've been taking notes from tips like these, and it really helps me draw chubby and fat characters! These notes were super helpful :)

Compiled some basic information I know about drawing fat characters for beginners since I've been seeing more talk about absence of really basic traits in a lot of art lately.

Is it just me or are the new tumblr users convinced there's a penalty of some kind for using this site like it's meant to be used?
