So I know I do too much reblogging, and I apologize for that. 

I just don’t know what else to post to keep this blog alive since I’m slowly gathering more art to post after basically months of stagnation. 

I really don’t want to clutter anyone’s feed anymore, and I wasn’t aware I was doing that. 

Also let me know if you need specific tags for posts….anyway

what would you rather me post while I draw up more stuff?

Who the fuck made you feel bad for reblogging things on your own blog?!

Hey, dickweed who said that to my friend: SHUT. THE FUCK. UP.

Xie, you have every right to post whatever you please on your blog. It’s yours. If someone doesn’t like the content, the solution is extremely easy: unfollow.

How dare – HOW DARE anyone shame you for what you do with your space!

You know what I’d like to see more of while you draw stuff? Things that make you happy! Even if they’re reblogs! Hell, especially if they’re reblogs because you’re connecting your happy and someone else’s happy and if some no-account, compassionless, tactless, shit-weasel can’t enjoy that you’re happy, that’s THEIR PROBLEM NOT YOURS.

Seriously. This is your blog and you should feel free to put whatever you want on it. If someone doesn’t like your content, that’s their problem not yours.

I just saw a “Do it for him” post on my dash featuring Green Jesus.

I really have an issue with the whole “the identity of the source negates the meaning of the message” mentality on Tumblr.

I see something that is a valid statement with really good point, then I’ll reblog it. I don’t really make a point to go and investigate the OP of every post I share to make sure that they are this perfect paragon of every single social issue. I’m focusing on the message itself, and not the life history of the OP.

If I post a good point about race and someone goes back to my blog and is like “Oh she’s a pornographer ew”…does that negate my statement? Does it make it any less meaningful or poignant or relatable? I don’t think so, but that’s in my opinion.

Someone’s identity or past actions doesn’t necessarily reflect their credibility on a singular statement. Especially not in making really generic “slice-of-life” posts. I am not knocking anyone for being concerned about the source of what they post necessarily; but, as seems to be a trend with many people on Tumblr, I see this whole “standard of credibility” being way mishandled in a contradictory way. Because for a website that is rampant with people not doing their own research and believing everything with a photo and a link, Tumblr is quick to negate someone’s post because of their past actions.

Of course, I’d appreciate someone notifying me if I accidentally post something from a racist or MRA blogger (though I hope I never would even accidentally do that without realizing it). But I feel like I wouldn’t want anyone going around saying “Don’t reblog this post from Talia because she likes porn/defends certain problematic kinks/whatever issue someone has with me.” Because then you’re policing/curating someone’s blog for them, when they should be empowered to post whatever they want by whoever they want with as much or as little “research” into OPs as they want.

And that’s my rant for the day.

you guys think I’m a fucking loser but guess what, there are so many hot girls in my inbox asking me to play their video games, guess my reputation as a good video game player has spread to the hot girl side of tumblr

People have written a lot of touchy-feely pieces on this subject but I thought I’d get right to the heart of the matter

This is 1000% more motivating than every preachy “real writers write every day” post on all of Tumblr.

I call this the “two cakes” rule and remind myself of it when I start comparing myself to other people.
