What Do You Mean It's 2022, I Still Haven't Processed The Last 2020 And Now There's A 2020 Two?

What do you mean it's 2022, I still haven't processed the last 2020 and now there's a 2020 two?

The one good thing with the ban is that it's bringing hilarious memes due to the sheer absurdity of it all

Babe wake up, new ball razor ad just dropped

....

The one ad I keep getting on this goddamn hellsite is the ball razor. Why is it the ball razor. Tumblr I don't have ANY BALLS

Oh my god and now they're making videos for it. Oh no. They're pretty funny too.

OK I need to stop posting about those ads but it's legit hilarious to me also I found another new one again and I got excited and that is NOT a normal reaction to have when you get different kind of ads. I've been Pavloved

I mean, me neither and I don't think any current big platform is any better anyway, but It's not gonna stop me from complaining all the way through the nine circles of Hell!!

What the fuck is this new "banned words" stuff I'm seeing on my dashboard. Does tumblr want to have another exodus? Why is every social media becoming like this, having people use stupid stuff like "aliven't" and "unalive" among many others. I hate this.

Sometimes I feel so out of touch as an artist on social media. I wanna draw, I wanna share my ideas, but I feel like if I'm not gonna dedicate my entire free time to be an art machine, there's just no point to even try. You have to follow the trends, you have to follow the new cool shiny thing before it falls back into oblivion and keep doing it if you want just a shred of acknowledgement. And on most platforms it's just so you get a small chance that the algorithm won't crush your work.

I'm admirative of artists who can do that and succeed and thrive, but it seems so pointless and exhausting to me. I get how the system works but I don't think I could ever do that for this long.

I just wanna have fun and make sometimes silly, sometimes cool things. I don't want to just draw 1 thing or style to build a "brand" or only draw existing characters or shows. I want to feel good about my art, experiment, learn, be inspired, inspire others. I don't want to force myself into the next Big thing just Because.

I don't know if that's a hot take or tired or whatnot, but Tumblr is the only place you can actually share longer thoughts on nowadays and I felt like sharing in case others felt the same way or had advice
