Humming Bird - Tumblr Posts
Have any of you ever heard of the hummingbird moths we get in Britain?
So, I thought I saw a hummingbird last year. It was much bigger than a bug could be, I thought, and it hovered around flowers and looked like it had feathers.
I got pretty close but it was never still enough to see clearly. Then, when I told my parents they said "oh! it was probably a moth!" and I was baffled for a long time. Like, how could a moth look like and act so much like a hummingbird?
Until I googled "hummingbirds in the UK" and this fucker comes up:
Everyone, meet the hummingbird hawk-moth; one of the weirdest and coolest cases of convergent evolution on this planet.
This is the kinda thing I'd see in fiction and go "oooh cool, bug hummingbird! Wish we had those on earth!" But we do. We really do have them on earth!! Isn't that nuts?!?!?
I really should post more often. It's not like I don't have anything to post, I just kinda, don't `:D But I found these fun lil sketches for you to enjoy! I drew these almost 10 years ago... maybe over 10 years ago..... oof I'm old aha
Some rambling about posting and social media stuff under the cut! :3
I've lost my touch with social media during these past couple of years. It doesn't feel as fun and effortless to post anymore. Partially it's bc I don't get as much engagement as I used to when I started on Tumblr (... *slowly looks at my hollow knight cubone that's reaching 1000 notes one of these days* *sweats* i mean... uh... some of my posts do great!!! and I'm grateful!!! but shdjsdjh it's not as consistent as it used to maybe `xD), and partially it's definitely that i don't have all my social interaction on Tumblr anymore, and rather on Discord. So I just don't feel as motivated, I suppose. Posting feels more like a chore that I have to do for my "job", or to grow my audience and to grow as a content creator / independent artist. It sure would be nice to make a living off my art and stuff, but hh I take big pressures of being successful on social media, and it raises the bar and makes it harder to post in turn. Damn this is rambly and inconsistent, huh. Well, it's fine. This is what my posts used to be like, more or less, back in the day.
But yeah! I'll see if I can be more active here and all. It'd be really nice to engage with other creators and my followers and whatnot better, like old times. I also used to comment (to the point i was probably a bother to some ppl :'D ) and send asks to a lot of artists, even big ones, but I don't have the energy anymore sjhdjh.. I'm old and tired. But I want to enjoy hanging out on tumblr sharing silly oc facts back and forth with ppl again ;w;
