(i hope this'll show up in the tags i've been dead on here for a few years haha,,)
1. You are responsible for your own media experience.
2. There is such a thing as a healthy level of avoidance towards topics that make you feel unwell or even (in a real-life clinical definition of the term) trigger you - but you are the one to actively take care of what you view.
3. Avoiding does not mean policing others.
4. You have no right to tell artists to censor themselves - you may criticize what others do, you may dislike it, that’s fine - but actively asking for censorship when you could easily unfollow or block a person just makes you look incompetent in your use of the internet.
5. Do not give people on tumblr or /any/ website the responsibility for your emotional well-being. Because these people do not even know you so no, you have no right to ask them to take care of you.
Fellas, listen.
You don’t have to do anything sexual that you’re not interested in. Moreover, you don’t have to explain why. “No” is a complete sentence.
Not interested in getting pegged? You don’t have to. Monogamous and not into the idea of another partner? Okay. Not sure about period sex? Cool.
And if your partner decides to question or mock your maturity or your masculinity or your sexuality because you say no? It’s time to re-evaluate the relationship. See if you don’t deserve better than that.

Elon Musk is spending more time tweeting and memeing and mocking people on Twitter than actually trying to make his money back.
I'm ok with that.
Keep tweeting, silly goose.
Keep tweeting as your sand castle crumbles and the waves begin to lap at your feet.
Heya I adapted my twitter thread about this (which i’m still proud of) since I won’t use my account anymore and I don’t wanna lose it.
I will also. fix some english mistakes that I made before bc english is not my first language. But anyways, let’s begin!
Before anything, I want to bring the quote that makes a huge importance in the game. When Umbrella Man gave Charlotte the ribbon, he says that “We are born colorless and people bring us color” By that, it means that color means connection with other people. Keep it in mind. Let’s begin with the color that I could analyse really quickly, since it’s only reflected in one character:
Red can be associated with love and passion, but when used excessively it can be linked to danger and violence. And most importantly: Red is associated with blood The only one character that is extremelly associated is red is Scarlett Eyler.
With monochromatic eyes and clothes, her ribbon and hair color emphasizes the color red. And like I said before, when red it’s overused it can be associated with danger and violence.
In true realm, Scarlett Eyler was literally Charles worst nightmare. Threatening him, hurting him and making his life hell multiple times. She was the true definition of violence.
And not just that. Remember when I said that red is related to blood? Well… Scarlett Eyler was Charles unborn sister. She died inside Lilith’s womb. She has no phisical image. So, Scarlett was most associated with blood. Now, let’s move on to the next color:
Yellow is mostly associated with happiness, optimism and positivity. But, psychologically, yellow too makes people more analytical and think critically about themselves and others.
Mixing yellow, associated with cheerfulness and optimism with white (which means innocence and purity, but I’ll talk about it later), Charlotte brings the energy of a perfect protagonist. With only her shirt and skirt being black, to equilibrate the energy between the colors.
Even if Umbrella Man and Charles are most associated with black, yellow can be predominant to them too. Since both of them are observers in the game. A bright yellow can be associated with “warning”, which explains why every character possessed by them gets a yellow eye color.
Now let’s get into the three most important colors in the games. First of them:
Black can be associated with mystery and the unknown. And negatively, black can symbolize death, and evilness. But, most importantly, black is the color that absorbs light.
Wearing full black clothes with black hair, Charles is one of the characters that are most associated with darkness during the whole game. The contrast between black and white is really emphatized in the game, mainly by The Tale of Ink Princess.
Now I want to jump off topic to talk about the relation between The Tale Of Ink Princess and Charles. It says that the ink princess swamed in the ocean and polluted it, and it kinda resembles Charles’ suicide, when he drowns in the ocean that is coincidentally designed black like ink. “Every morning she put on a pitch-black ink dress and combed her black hair. […] The Princess swam in the sea, admiring how vast and clear it was, and all the fish died from pollution.“Please leave these lands! Can’t you see everything is dying?” the peasants begged the Princess. ”
Ink, in Hello Charlotte, is associated with corruption and consequentially, death.
Charlotte, due to the Oracle in her head, gets the Ink Cough. It kinda relates a little to assotiation with black. And since black is a color that absorbs all light, the association with ink is direct.
When we talk about mystery and unknown, we come to the most mysterious character in the games: Seth Eyler/Umbrella Man, which color palette matches Charles, but has different meanings.
Umbrella Man can be associated with the interpretation of the color black that, too matches power and evil.
And not only him, actually. His (almost) full black sprite is similar to V19 for a reason. Both of them are powerful characters that carries mystery and malice in their development, that’s why they have almost the same sprites.
Now, I’m going to mention a color that I didn’t analyze back then and I completely regret, since it’s also one of the most important colors in the game:
Grey is a mix between black and white. According to color psychology, grey means “neutrality and balance”. It can be a realiable and stable color, but in negative circumstances, it can mean loss and depression.
In the Grey Ending in Hello Charlotte EP2, shows a Vincent that “became like anyone else” after he lost the Trial. Then, the true face of Vincent is showm before his death.
He became the real Vincent, the imperfect Vincent. The neutral Vincent. And not the pure white Vincent Charles tend to idolize. Which resembles the Vincent shown in True Realm on Hello Charlotte EP3, which has grey hair and eye-color.
The reason why Etherane changed his true realm version’s hair and eye-color is unknown, (i mean, Vincent’s hair and eye-color also changes in Heaven’s Gate so I can’t say if that was just a design choice if there was something else involved) but since both colors are still considered “gray” in Pantone (changed from something similar to Oyster Gray to Gray Violet), the meaning of the design choice might have not changed.
In the Grey Ending, is shown that Vincent’s soul cube is also Gray, meaning that it can be the color that represents him. Since the other soul cubes might have been probably white (by the description of an unused soul cube item)
So, even if Vincent were constantly associated with pure and perfect white, Charles deep inside knew that the Vincent outside his distorted view is a balanced grey. Human, imperfect, but also reliable, mature and calm. Which reflects his personality based on what we saw about him.
Also, Vincent is the character Charles saw dying multiple times, in True Realm and Fake Realm, which made him relive is trauma about his loss over and over again. Then, Vincent’s melancholy and Charles’ loss can be associated with the color grey.
Now, the best for the last. The color that describes mostly the development of the games.
White is the color that symbolizes cleanliness, purity and innocence, and even perfection. When we talk about the color white, two characters instantly pop up in our minds: C and Q84.
Let’s bring back what Umbrella Man said: “We are born colorless. It’s the people we meet who give us color.”, So, color is associated with connections. Every Charlotte borns totally white. Like her hair and eyes. Scarlotte was given the Yellow color with the ribbon gifted to her. However, let’s talk about Q84. She was bullied during her whole life (like every charlotte is designed to be), and the only characters that should’ve bring her joy, constantly tries to kill her. With that, Q84 associated connection with pain. By that color = pain.
It kinda explains the design of the bullies. A colorful mess that resembles visual pollution in a way.
With that, she says that she “won’t become tained with ugly colors” and became obsessed with the color white. So much she spread White Flu to create a cult, based on the white color.
Now that’s going to be pure speculation, but the huge presence of the color white in the games and in some characters could be a manifestation of Charles’ mysophobia, since white can mean cleanliness and purity. And like that, let’s talk about C. First of all, I want to point that C’s hair color is brighter in fake realm because of Charles’ perception of him, like I explained when talking about the color grey. Of someone pure and perfect. With white clothes and gloves, the only manifestation of other colors in his design are his yellow eye color (due to Charles possession) and the bruises in his face caused by the bullies. The only two connections he got.
Anyway, despite meaning “perfection” and “purity”, white can also mean “cold” and “distant”. In Charles’ perspective of Vincent, he was perfect, pure, and almost god-like. But, he was still distant from him. The image of C was far away from his reality. And those meanings can relate to Q84, too. Refusing to connect with people, Q84 is untouchable, too perfect, and distant from others. That’s why she’s the only Charlotte with a full-white color scheme. The exaggeration of the color white could symbolize these negative aspects. With that, I finish my analysis. Thanks for reading until the end! I wrote most of these like almost 2 years ago, and since I’m studying Graphic Design and Color Theory I decided to revisit this thread and post it here. Well, have good day everyone! <3
This is what I was talking about.
This is exactly why the whole "Queer characters can only be played by queer actors" argument, or the queerbaiting celebrities argument is not only unhelpful, it is actively harmful. You are not entitled to other peoples identity. You are forcing people to come out in order to protect their careers, when they may not have wanted to share that with the world. Real people can not queerbait. Real people can not be bad representations of themselves. Do not conflate how you treat fictional characters with how you are allowed to treat real people. We can not keep having the same conversation. Forcing people to come out or else face social consequences is Bad. Always. Everytime.
In this case, Kit is literally a teenager who has been facing overwhelming amounts of online abuse for not being open about his personal identity.
Im seeing it with other queer media too. With nicholas galitzin and taylor zakhar perez in the red white & royal blue movie, people demanding that they should have been recast with "actual queer actors" despite the fact that we do not know if they are or are not queer. We can never know until they tell us that they are, which they have not.
Im also seeing it with young royals. With the new season coming out later today, the speculation on omar and edvins sexuality and relationship is incredibly harmful and toxic. They are real people, please treat them like people instead of fictional characters you can write rambling, speculating paragraphs about.
I'll say it one more time.
Welcome twitter users fleeing the absolute cesspool that twitter is going to become as Musk gets his way with his awful ideas! Things are better here, and hey, if you're an old user coming back, they've actually improved shit!
Here's a list of important notes for tumblr usage:
Don't censor words, particularly trigger warnings. Tumblr has a very functional blacklist (found in your settings) that can filter by post content and/or tags. But the word needs to actually be present for the filter to work. Censoring words like r*pe is actively harmful to people attempting to avoid those topics.
Use tags liberally, you have as many as you want, but don't tag unrelated shit. You'll get reported for spam really fast if you do.
Set an avatar and reblog things, otherwise you look like a bot.
You are not obligated to have your real name anywhere in your blog/bio/etc. Most people here use handles.
You can turn your ask box & anons on or off if you are experiencing any kind of harassment. You can also turn off replies on your posts, and turn off reblogs if you need to.
Tumblr has keyboard shortcuts on desktop. You can find them listed under the blog/account menu. Go learn them, they make life so much easier.
Reblog things. Seriously. Also set your dash in chronological order. You can maintain several blogs if need be, but reblogging things is normal, expected, and how you pass along stuff you enjoy.
The majority of people aren't reading your card/dni/blog bio before they reblog stuff. Posts get passed around and the OP often isn't the focal point of the post. Learn to live with it.
Fic writers: you have unlimited words, do not post fics as images.
Reblogs with comments/tags are encouraged. It's not like twitter's QRTs. The OP will see everything there. Know that before you comment.
You have a queue. This means you can set posts up ahead of time to run while you're busy. You can also completely ignore this and just spam your follows whenever you're online. Both are very commonplace
It's not weird to go through someone's blog and reblog old posts. That's actually very normal. If you add /chrono to the end of a tumblr page then you can view all the posts in chronological order to make this easier.
"Spam" liking and reblogging isn't a thing that is a problem. This is invented by people I do not understand. If someone claims this is a problem, they can learn how to turn off or manage their notifications.
The only form of promotional posts that tumblr has is "blaze". There is no ad targeting or any kind of invasions of privacy with blaze. You just get subjected to w/e someone wants to show you. If you want to give tumblr some money to help the company keep going and providing an alternative to twitter, it's not a bad way to do it. You can make people look at cat photos.
Also, we have fun colors here. Plus actual formatting ability. Use it!
People lie on here for fun. Don't accept everything you see at face value, check the reblogs/replies or google something if you're skeptical! Critical thinking is good!
Above all else, be chill, use your block button if you need to, and have fun.

Emotions through color by Asia Gondek
So there’s this huge dudebro in my class, who, yesterday, sat next to me. And I’m sitting there sweating because like… I’m wearing my shirt with the lesbian flag on it, and he’s the most popular jock in school, and always has this look on his face that say ‘I can and will kill you’. He looks me up and down, stares at me for a minute and then goes, “So. Girls in skirts and long socks, am I right?”
To which I nodded solemnly, both out of agreement, surprise and also a healthy amount of awkward fear. He nodded and went, “You get it.”
I said, “Yep.” He fistbumped me, and on went our lives.
I FILMED MYSELF READING THIS TWITTER POST AND I HAVEN’T BEEN ABLE TO STOP LAUGHING
IM WHEEZING!
So I’ve been training this neural network to generate cookbook recipes by letting it look at tens of thousands of existing recipes.
The generated titles can get a bit odd.
There’s a creativity variable I can set when the network is generating new recipes, and when I set it low, it comes up with its best guess at the most quintessential recipe titles:
Cream Cheese Soup Cream Of Sour Cream Cheese Soup Chocolate Cake (Chocolate Cake) Chocolate Chocolate Chocolate Cake Chocolate Chicken Chicken Cake Chocolate Chocolate Chocolate Chocolate Cake Chocolate Chips Chocolate Chips With Chocolate Chips
When I tell it to get creative, things get even weirder.
Beef Soup With Swamp Peef And Cheese Chocolate Chops & Chocolate Chips Crimm Grunk Garlic Cleas Beasy Mist Export Bean Spoons In Pie-Shell, Top If Spoon and Whip The Mustard Chocolate Pickle Sauce Whole Chicken Cookies Salmon Beef Style Chicken Bottom Star * Cover Meats Out Of Meat Completely Meat Circle Completely Meat Chocolate Pie Cabbage Pot Cookies Artichoke Gelatin Dogs Crockpot Cold Water
Sorry it took so long to do the next page. Last year I applied to a job that turned out to be terrible, it was destroying me, I can say my mental health has never been so bad before this job. I could only do single quick drawings… So I decided to quit, and I was so happy and relieved I did this whole page in almost 3 weeks. Now I’m jobless, but at least I’m doing the thing I love.
As for this page… I think I gave my own emotions to Anti, but tried to stay in character. I’m a sucker for this “bad people turning good” thing so this is what came out. You might say Seán wouldn’t be so quick to forgive but he is exactly that kind of person who can see the good in others and can act as an adult in serious situations. Also, it happened in months, but in 10 pics it was hard to show.
The idea of naming Anti Ábel came from a fanfiction writer, @sparklepines. Their fanfics are my favourites in the JSE fandom, the stories are so unique and well-written. They inspired me a lot! :D You pronounce it like: aah-bell. And I like the meaning of the name, I made it like Seán gave Anti’s life back so he can breathe again..
The fight between Anti and Dark will continue so if you are still interested, stick around! If you are not, thanks for reading my comic this far! :) previous next first page
