SHARE TO SAVE TUMBLR!

- Let’s try and get 100k notes

True shit

A review by one of the folks sums it up perfectly:

“What worries me about Yahoo! buying Tumblr is how it would choose to incorporate the website into its email and homepage features.  One of the reasons why Tumblr is so unique is because it’s a niche market.  By adding more users who don’t fit into this niche, it would make it more difficult for communities to develop within Tumblr, and Tumblr would have to change to accommodate these new users.  Tumblr as a website is not the kind that you can sign up for in a day and be on your way.  It is a website crafted so that you can immediately post but must spend several weeks, sometimes even months, to build a community.  With new users who would not be willing to spend time growing a community, Tumblr would have to be changed, which would alienate its current users.  Those users have spent time and effort to make Tumblr what it is today, and they are the ones who spend time on the website daily.  A user who is checking onto Tumblr because it’s attached to their homepage is not going to be as strong of a user nor as dedicated.  By changing the website to suit this new user, you would lose the strong users while building an undedicated usership.  

To any website that would think of buying Tumblr, they must understand that it is a website that cannot be changed to make it more user friendly to a casual blogger.  I think that many Tumblr users would be less worried about a buy-out if they were promised that their communities and ways of using Tumblr would not be changed.  No one is going to mind Yahoo! buying the website and gaining a few extra million dollars per year from the minimal advertising; what we will be upset with is if a company like Yahoo! then changes the website to increase casual users and decrease dedicated users.  Yahoo! would gain nothing by losing this “cool” group of bloggers in an age group they so desperately want to reach, so they must cater to these individuals by leaving the website exactly as is.” - houseoftombombadil

As much as is does sound like a load of bullshit for someone to buy Tumblr, it’s a possibility.  I Personally think it should stay independent and I hope David Karp keeps a hold of it like his own child. Or we make enough noise to where such major changes (if bought) will not happen. I would hate to see Tumblr turned into an advertising dump.

We’re not a ‘hip fad group’ to be marketed to. I hate the fact that’s all we look like to businesses in the end.

reblogging again for this ^

NO NO BAD YAHOO!

NO TUMBLR FOR YOU! :<

YOU LEAVE MY TUMBLR ALONE!

I’m finally establishing a viable online presence. Don’t steal that from me now! D:

Listened to this on repeat the entire time I was writing today. Really helpful for the scene.

But, you’d think that after hearing a song for 2 hours straight, it wouldn’t be stuck in your head for the rest of the night. Good thing I really like the song.

no matter how close i think i am with someone there’s always someone before me like i’m literally never someone’s first option 

You may not be someone’s first, but that isn’t important at all. If they are with you now, they are with you for a reason, and that means you’ve won.

Being first doesn’t matter. Being last, being the one who stays until the end, does.

ALL of this. Encourage people to try new words, to mess them up, to experiment with vocabulary, to learn complicated adjectives and verbs and nouns, because words are fun.

Also, don’t be a jerk.

I’m that person! I don’t know how to pronounce a lot of words since most of my vocab came from reading alone. You don’t have to admire us - just respect us. Don’t make fun of us!

Haha, I’m guilty of this all the time. One of my more infamous ones was pronouncing misshapen as “miss happen”

Almost 55 thousand words written. Holy shit.

We’re really doing this.

Ambient sounds turn editing from a tedious process into something pretty tolerable.

In Japan, there are 3 ways to say “I love you”:

You say “Daisuki (大好き)”  for the friends and person you like,

you say “Aishiteru (愛してる)”  for a more serious relationship,

and you say “Koishiteru ( 恋してる)” to the person you want to spend the rest of your life with.

And they follow this rule. They preserve the meaning of ‘I love you’ and never lose its essence unlike us.

My old japanese teacher told me Koishiteru is a possessive, passionate love; the initial spark when everything is fueled by powerful, fiery emotions.
Aishiteru is the love of a parent to a child, or a couple who has been together for 40 years, embodying more of a “if you love it, let it go” principle.
Koishiteru is forever wanting.
Aishiteru is forever giving.

These are a few character designs from my portfolio. These are also SUPER old, but I don’t think I’ve ever uploaded these anywhere. I’ll upload the new painted versions momentarily! 

I think the rogue is by far my favourite :D

LRN, here’s a wonderful example of character designs and the logic and methodology behind them.

Youre a creepy dirty criminal who gets arrested before you even start playing the game and then oh shit theres a dragon and you follow some big hairy guys through some dark gross tunnels and there are fucking spiders and then after that its like minecraft but you can’t build anything and everyone is always pushing their problems on you and nobody can get their own stuff done without you holding their hand through it and your horse dies all the time and your dog doesnt even belong to you and you get this stupid housecarl named lydia who gets in the way all the time and you run out of inventory like shit oh no its a pair of butterfly wings i cant walk anymore. and your horse dies all the time.

you make a person then run around doing everyone’s shit for them, become mayor and get literally nothing for it, then you find out you’re a fucking alien and then the game just ends. you also have to pee every 12 seconds.

You meet a guy that doesn’t even know what gender you are and you have to walk around in really short shorts and I mean you HAVE TO WALK like you don’t get running shoes until forever
Then you run around for some crazy old coot who gives you packages and you don’t even get paid but then when you get back he says he has some kind of monster thing for you
so youre stuck with this caged animal but it’s in some weird ball thing what the hell and what does it even do but no it gets worse apparently you battle with the little rodent because some asshole comes up to you and kicks your ass with a better monster because your life sucks dick

You are a mustachioed Italian plumber trapped in a two-dimensional world where being Italian isn’t actually a thing, but you digress. For reasons of which even you aren’t quite sure of, you have been coaxed into trying to rescue an as-of-yet unnamed princess who has been kidnapped by the evil King Turtledragon.

You head right. Actual directions require a third dimension and you can’t quite comprehend what the hell that third dimension actually is, but that’s somewhat irrelevant. You are faced with King Turtledragon’s legion, which sounds far more threatening than it is. Composed mostly of sentient fungi and turtles (though they are bigger than you are, so), you must tackle them head-on.

This gets you killed, but fret not! You aren’t dead. In fact, you’re kinda just stuck at the start again. Okay. This time, you jump atop the living fungus that killed you and have successfully squashed it into oblivion. Good, because seriously? Fuck that guy.

The world is comprised of bricks and stone and stuff and you wonder under what circumstances was a planet allowed to evolve to this point before realizing that is also kind of irrelevant because you are not an astrophysicist. Some bricks aren’t affected by gravity, and so the natural thing to do is jump up and hit them from underneath. You eat the mushroom that emerged from the block and eat it. This causes you to grow twice your size. Another block dispenses a flower. Your clothes change color on contact and suddenly you can throw fire!

You start killing the walking fungus, turtles, plants, beetles, living bullets (wat), spiked beetles, and fish en masse until you arrive at the castle. It’s just kinda made of the same stuff everything else is. It’s also kinda small. Inside the castle, however, you realize that it’s got some serious Tardis shit going on because it’s huge and made of steel and lava. Like, there’s a lot of lava. A very questionable amount of lava. Oh, and some of it’s alive and it kinda jumps up and tries to kill you. You continue on until you’ve come face-to-face with King Turtledragon himself. An epic battle does not ensue: you kinda just burn him to death/knock him into the lava.

Right behind the deathplace of King Turtledragon (who, by the way, is not actually King Turtledragon but a mook wearing his clothes) is where you suspect the Princess of being stashed away. Not so. You free this Toad idiot who is not an amphibian as his name would have you think. He’s a good version of the evil sentient fungus or something. He sucks. He thanks you and informs you that the princess is in another castle.

Okay.

Repeat the above x6. (Note: after killing the fourth mook dressed up as King Turtledragon, they start coming up with new strategies such as throwing a barrage of hammers at you. You start to question what King Turtledragon himself is worth because these mooks seriously have some fucking subspace shit going on because they DO NOT RUN OUT OF HAMMERS)

After killing more mooks en masse, saving more Toads, and after being repeatedly informed that the princess is in another castle still, you prepare to give up, but you’ve got a feeling about this last stretch of land. Suddenly the terrain becomes very fucking difficult to navigate and you fall in unending pits a lot. Like, the difficult curve most be following some complex logarithmic shit ‘cause it’s just now going upwards very very quickly.

But then you see it. King Turtledragon’s castle. It looks like three normal castles taped together, but this should be it.

Seriously, what the hell is King Turtledragon’s defense budget ‘cause he’s got like teleporters and fire underwater and a death clock (well, that’s always been there but it’s not like it mattered ‘til now) and Jesus Christ. You fight your way through the mostly-empty-but-still-terrifying castle and finally come face-to-face with King Turtledragon for real.

Thirty seconds on the death clock. You have no powerups. You jump. He jumps, throwing like six hammers at you while spitting a fireball at the ground. You sprint forward, dodging the assault. You grab the axe he stashed conveniently behind him and chop the bridge. Well actually it sort of disintegrates as soon as you touch it, but it matters not.

King Turtledragon must not have very much mass to him because he floats in the air long enough for you to get under him and he’s still there even when the bridge went away. He starts to fall slowly, but cannot seem to navigate the x-plane to land anywhere else besides the lava. He falls and dies. You find the princess, who informs you that the princess is in another castle. You contemplate throwing her into the lava because that joke is NO LONGER FUCKING FUNNY AFTER THE EIGHTH TIME.

Uh it’s a game where you can have LGBT companions but you can’t actually romance them.

…I just convinced MYSELF not to like it.

You get dropped off on a planet where everyone’s already dead and you’re alone for the entire game, walking around, reading boring journal entries and trying to recover a bunch of things that were yours to begin with, dammit. You never have a single line of dialogue and everything’s trying to kill you, even the grass.

So you’re this kindof red triangular thing, I don’t even know, it’s not like you have a name or face or backstory or anything. Anyways all you can do is jump and make this beep sound, and you have to walk across this empty desert to a mountain that’s a billion miles away and when you finally get there the game ends and that’s it.
