Don't Have The Time To Go Any Further With This, Take It As It Is, Amen

just got the email to say that the UK government will not be implementing an independent evaluation of the Cass review and I'm. fucking exhausted

Some more pen doodles in the sketchbook oh I miss the pc I miss the undo button I miss the erase tool 💔

I can't help it, when I spend time with him in the game, I just wanna sketch him down..

to those of you who are moving here from tiktok, from someone whos used both tiktok and tumbr for years...

1. DO NOT censor your posts

dont censor sex, abuse, suicide, dont censor it. we dont have censors like tiktok does, you wont be banned for talking about these things and tagging them properly helps people avoid them (also, we dont have shadowbanning here)

2. we dont really have an algorithm

you follow who you follow, and you see posts from who you follow or what you search. the 'for you page' is basically useless here. this also brings me to my next two points

3. dont crosstag

we get it, on tiktok you have to crosstag for reach, but thats not really a thing here. just tag your posts properly (also posters often leave more info about the post in the tags!! and when you reblog stuff you can leave your own notes in the tags, kind of like the old "repost comments" on tiktok)

4. dont expect to go viral/be famous

"viral" isnt really a thing on here (at least not for the average blogger). your posts will probably get 2-10 likes and you wont get nearly as many followers than on tiktok. thats just how tumblr is

5. blocking is your best friend

tiktok is VERY discussion based, and while tumblr is much more discussion based than other social medias, its still not a good place for ragebait/discourse. dont interact, itll make your experience worse in the end, just block and move on

6. you cant go into someone elses house and start rearranging their furniture

this is tumblr, not tiktok. dont diss old tumblr users for how they use the site or try to change them, thats like going into someone elses house and trying to rearrange their furniture. we've been here longer and we're familiar with the site and its culture, either find your niche, adapt, or find a different app

man who lives inside my brain rent free

Haven't drawn them in a minute but oh I've been thinking about them

Jason and the annoying kids he didn't want (and that he's only like 4 years older than)

I doodle him a lot with the og lads, so here's one with the og girlies!

sending this in an email to dcdl devs in hopes he will be there soon

[the reference]

I need to practice freehanding + working with references, because fun fact about me, my mental library is fuelled by neurodivergence, but I feel a need to practice working from other angles ie. from visible references (the references usually live inside my head). I also drew it on one layer only + didn't undo anything (eraser was a-okay!) because I need to stop being afraid of mistakes and just smash it out ykyk

note: the clean one is multi-layers because I took a bit of a confidence hit and needed to remind myself I can do art hahaha
