Ummm Byee

i cant wait for the internet to go crazy w this when the queen dies

I drew Clera and Tiff! Two more of my main ocs for AskJoshuaFreeman!

Clera Belle is a fashionable sweetheart who just wants to make everybody happy and expresses herself through the extravagant clothes she makes.

Tiff Pepper is a tough-as-nails gothic punk who takes crap from no one and intimidates nearly everyone enough to leave her the hell alone.

Together, they make the best damn couple you've ever seen, and make each other more happy than you can imagine. Now if only they could do something about all the trouble their buds Allen and Josh seem to get into...

Please do spare @askjoshuafreeman a follow if any part of them interest you, for I promise that there will be more!

also since april fools is coming up tomorrow, just wanna say that this blog is a safe place that will have no jumpscares/flashing lights/derealization stuff! /gen

rb if u wanna let others know your blog will be safe too :]

apple completely censoring tumblr to the point where you can't even say words that aren't even sexual like soap or pipe is the beginning of the end for tumblr’s usability and user experience. the process already started with the Dec 17 ban and recently with the overexposure of ads. but pretty soon, apple is gonna make tumblr unusable. it's not like virizon cared about making the site functional when they owned it, and automatic/wordpress (current owners) definitely don't give a shit about tumblr now.

everywhere else on the internet, content is heavily monitored and censored. you'll get banned if you say anything that's against tos. sometimes that's good, as it gets rid of all the nazis. other times it's terrible, when people abuse the reporting ai to ban normal people. the whole banning system is unpredictable, so to be safe, people need to censor themselves on twitter and tiktok and facebook and ig and youtube. they can't say "kill", they have to say "unalive". they can't talk about violence, so they have to sugarcoat real world events. they can't swear, talk about racism or sex or history, or even acknowledge that the world is a fucked up place, because "kids use this app". tumblr was one of the last safe places on the internet where you could threaten to kill the president without having the fbi show up to your house.

but with this new apple shit, tumblr is becoming more like every other site online. any post that contains a word on a constantly expanding list is hidden from ios users. any blogs marked as "explicit" (which is also a huge issue btw) are unaccessible by apple users. not straight up banning people, but still preventing access to the real tumblr for those users. now over a third of tumblr’s userbase is either stuck on a completely sanitized version of tumblr, has to use the web browser version on their phone, or just cut off from tumblr entirely.

the internet used to be a place of togetherness and inclusiveness and content sharing and entertainment and fun. now it's mostly corporate garbage and ads. companies love ads. and to run ads effectively, they need as many people as possible to see them. and to do that, the places they advertise have to be family friendly so everyone can use them. that's what all of these sites are doing. banning creativity and expressiveness so they can force you to watch more ads. I understand that there's server costs. I understand that the employees need to eat. but there are so many bugs that haven't been fixed in years that it seems like @staff is getting paid to do fuck all, and instead wasting their time making stupid design decisions to distract us from them selling out.

what does this current situation say about the future of tumblr and the internet as a whole? I don't really know. if things continue as they are, more people will leave tumblr for newer sites, or twitter once tumblr becomes just as unusable as it (might as well use the more popular shitty site if they're both equally shit). eventually, within 5 or 6 years, tumblr will shut down after server costs are too high, and unless users take the time to archive everything, nearly two decades of internet history will be erased forever. I'd give it until 2035 before the internet (and by extention the vr world / metaverse / matrix) becomes so riddled with ads that it becomes completely unusable. unless, of course, something changes with how advertisements work. whether that be a new law that makes it so ads have to be less distracting or optional, or even just some sites refusing to run advertisements at the cost of user membership fees. one of those seems extremely unlikely, and the other sounds equally shit.

the internet sucks ass. I just want to return to 2010 playing club penguin and browsing early tumblr and early watching minecraft youtube videos and playing flash games on newgrounds.

the world would be a better place if literally every single ceo and billionaire immediately died right now.

Time for a batch of Alagadda Ocs! Each is one of many assistants to their respective lord. Thanks to @0-riya for letting me borrow some headcanons.

Agape - Chosen for his excess in blood, his unbalanced humors have caused him to grow rose-like thorns and extra mouths with which to consume and spread mirth.

Mina - Chosen for her excess in black bile, her unbalanced humors have caused her to open many more eyes to cry anguish. She was there when her lord was sentenced to exile and now works under the White Lord.

Eva - Chosen for her excess in yellow bile, her unbalanced humors have caused wings to sprout and her teeth and fingers to sharpen into violent tools.

Douglas - Chosen for his excess in phlegm, his unbalanced humors have granted him extra arms to work tirelessly with. He leads the other three with patience and purpose.

You can get the crabs to love you and when you do that they run towards your mouse!!

random af question but (if marie is french) how would she react to dublar also being french? dublar would be suprised but not that intrigued.

Hmm, good question! I feel like she'd be confused as to what they were doing in Middlesea of all places and trying to wrap her brain around why anyone would possibly ever want to leave France.

Y'know, ignoring the fact that she was more than happy to leave too lolol. Apart from that though, she may make note of it and kinda move on. Interesting, but it doesn't impact her life in the long run, does it?

Hey, at least Dublar can understand her whenever she uses french terms in order to be fancy! That's fun, hehe!
