Tumblr Is Just A Community Developing A New Dialect In Record Time

I know its a long post, but bear with it, Shirobako just dropped a bomb-shell that every artist should recognize and realize. Don’t worry about your quality. That’ll increase on its own as you draw. Just draw lost. Draw anything and all things. Just draw. Don’t care about what it looks like, that’s not important right now. Draw.

Germany’s famous unit of immortal soldiers pose with their heads in their hands, 1921. The Immortals, ordinary men resurrected from death by a process as yet unknown, served with honour in the First World War until they were liquidated (by being burned to death, the only way they could be killed) by the Weimar Republic in 1924.

you! tumblr user!

I haven’t listened to the audio, because it’s too perfect seeing characters emotionally move their mouth with tears while being completely silent.

if you make a special box in your head called "thoughts that aren't mine" and put every thought that doesn't feel like your own into that box. let's just say. something magical happens

people NEED to stop gatekeeping making music like ohhhh i don’t have an instrument ohhhhh i don’t know music theory ohhhhh i’m not gonna pay for some program. SHUT UP. take my hand.

you need NONE of that shit!!!!! there’s a website called beepbox.co. literally all you have to do is press things until it sounds a modicum of nice. it’s easy it’s free and it works on anything which has a browser because it’s a website.

if even ONE person starts making music bc of this post it will be worth it.

making bad music is just as important and okay as it is to write badly or draw badly or sing badly. you AREN’T BEHOLDEN TO MAKE GOOD MUSIC. making music is not utilitarian HAVE FUN. HAVE FUN!!!!!!!!!

tiktok is such an awful app, it's almost designed to feed you misinformation and expose you to insane discourse. unlike beloved tumblr, the app that feeds me misinformation and exposes me to insane discourse

I've noticed that Youtube and Google in general seem to be making it increasingly difficult to find small channels. I'm looking for the weird shit. The out-there shit. I don't care if it has flaws like not being crisp and perfect audio and video. I like the stuff that's a bit amateurish, but apparently, that is a thing of the past. YT is becoming the domain of professional types. Which isn't bad by itself but YT used to be a place where just regular people could post videos and have crazy, weird opinions. Not anymore, I guess.

If videos don't look a certain way, sound a certain way, or have the right content they are hidden by the algorithm. I can't even find the filters bar that used to be available if you searched on computer.

Anybody have any knowledge or something as to when, why, and how this happened? Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

Thanks @caffeinesam
