I am an artist and you added an ID to my art and this is how I’m responding: an FAQ

dramatic-audio

“Thank you so much for adding an ID!” 

  • You’re welcome! 
  • You could show your thanks to me even more if you added an ID to your own work so I don’t have to. 

“You described [x thing] wrong.” 

  • Thank you for correcting me (politely, I hope)! You can make a correction by messaging me directly and I will edit my post, or you can add an addendum by reblogging. (Either way, I will make an edit to my original post.) 
  • You know the 100% sure-fire way to make sure your art is NEVER misinterpreted by me or someone else writing an ID? Writing your own ID! You know your art better than I ever could. 
  • Also, if you’re going to be rude about it: shut up. 

“I wish I could add IDs to my posts, but I’m worried about doing it wrong.” 

  • An ID written by the artist is always better than an ID written by me. You are the only one who knows what details you want to be significant, what things you want to call attention to, etc. 
  • There’s no “way” to do an ID. Just write them. Seriously, there is no formula, there’s nobody grading them, there’s no set of criteria. Just write what you see. Read other peoples’ IDs to get a sense of it if that helps you! 
  • There’s also a wonderful Discord server where people can request IDs, or ask that people read over IDs. This is a great resource if you’re just starting out and want to workshop it with others before you post! 

“I wish I could add IDs to my posts, but writing in English is really hard for me.” 

  • I get it! Good thing there is a great community of people to help!  
  • You can always request an ID for a post via the Discord. Lots of Tumblr users (myself included) would also be happy to help. Reach out! 
  • If someone adds an ID to your post, please copy and paste it in to your original post so more people will see it. It really helps!

you know that tumblr post that goes "I don't want my fantasy media to be realistic, I want it to be convincing"?

I think a corollary to this is I don't want my fandom experiences to be unique, I want them to be sincere

That's why I enjoy reading the same tropes over and over again. Those authors are writing those stories from a genuine love of both the tropes and the characters.

It's why I enjoy 17 gif sets about the same 3-second interaction on screen. Each one of those sets was pulled and recoloured and captioned and adjusted because each one of those gif makers wanted to capture that moment and celebrate it.

It's why every "I'm glad you enjoyed it" reply makes me smile when I get one on a comment I left. Because I know replying to comments is hard and kind of awkward, but I also know that the author really *is* glad and I'm happy that I could let them know I enjoyed their work.

I love things that are new, sure. But I also love things that have been done a million times already because I know the person doing it loves that thing too. I love the love they're showing. I love the genuine joy and celebration and community it fills me with.

Something is terribly wrong.

been rereading 17776 with an online book group, and it truly is a masterpiece. i don’t think it would ever work as well as a print book, but i wanted to give making the cover a go!

[ID: A digitally illustrated cover for "17776: What Football Will Look Like in the Future" by Jon Bois. The title "17776" is written vertically over a football which a pair of dark-skinned hands is holding out, and the overlap of the numbers and football is colored in swirling blue with red, green, and yellow accents. Above the hands float the satellite forms of Nine, Ten, and Juice in space. End ID]

the 2024 met gala theme will be ovid's metamorphosis to respect the importance of greek classicalism in fashion aesthetic principles of construction. lil nas x will be dressed as actaeon's hounds, a metaphor for the punishment of black men's existence being seen as predatory. kylie jenner will wear a crimped taffeta toga. florence welch will be in dior as medusa, veiled and weeping. she is a statement about the destruction of intent and story in the face of achronistic politics: medusa can't be a monster if she's a woman, medusa can't be a woman if she's a monster. drake wears a tailored black suit with a black tie and white shirt. seventeen different women dress as botticelli's venus in some form and rip each other to shreds in rage and divine madness, watched over by dionysus, who is dressed as jack black

i think more people ESPECIALLY americans tbh need to get even just cursory knowledge of the protestant work ethic. there is a christo-capitalist reason you feel guilty when you are not working yourself to death. it isn’t just like, a common Symptom or whatever. it is from a deeply ingrained ideology in the west that affects pretty much everyone (even if you are not a WASP, ur still forced into this culture and will deal with its ramifications).

This is terrible but today when I was playing volleyball outside with some friends one of their children (18 months) was sort of ambling around on his stumpy little toddler legs and so we were all trying to be careful and like not spike the ball onto the baby but then he wandered over to his father, who picked him up bc dad reflexes, and then the ball got passed over to the dad and he sort of had a no thoughts moment and instinctively used his child to smack the volleyball over to the next person. Like he just swung the kid and used his legs like a baseball bat. I'm never going to forget his face of premature regret mid baby-manuever right when he realized what he was doing AND the instant he realized his wife saw it happen. Anyway the baby was fine he didn't make contact with the ball all that hard and he was just mad his dad wouldn't use him as a club again but I had to sit down because I laughed so hard I cried.

this is SO funny omg

Anonymous asked:

Consider: Shigaraki is the Midoriya family's vaguely pathetic neighbor that Inko invited over for dinner a lot because he can’t even successfully prepare hot pockets

achairwithapandaonit answered:

afo decided to just put 13 year old shigaraki in an apartment complex next to his wife and son without parental supervision like okie done with my shitty parenting now inko will reflexively do it for me. he didn’t account for the fact that inko would do good parenting to negate all his hard work.

i just want u to imagine tomura struggling to open a jar and pathetically knocking on the door next to his like heeyyyyyyy midoriya pwease i no longer have a kurogiri
