Not this timid

@probablyaseamonster

We all laugh at The Lorax, but the next time some billionaire starts exploiting a community of people by selling them something they physically need to survive, and then goes to insane levels to stomp out all their competition while having a scary surveillance system, and then tries to convince the vast majority of people that the rebels are bringing danger especially to children, we won’t be laughing then.

Okay reblog if you’re an artist who STRONGLY PREFERS reblogs with commentary

People are apparently under the impression that reblogging someone’s art and adding a comment is frowned upon and that can’t possibly be true, every artist I know of sees a reblog-comment as like the ultimate definitive reward for their hard work.

Obviously don’t feel bad for NOT adding a comment if you’re shy or just don’t know what to say, but if there’s something you would like to say about a drawing you’ve liked enough to reblog, I’m pretty sure most artists crave hearing it.

This applies to art, fic, dumb theories, whatever! I totally love reading tags and commentary!

Definitely re-emphasizing that ALL reblogs, likes, etc are awesome! So don’t feel bad/feel obligated to add something if you don’t want to, but don’t hold back if you DO wanna add something because you’re worried it’s rude.

I once read someone’s post saying “NEVER ADD A COMMENT WHEN YOU REBLOG SOMEONE’S WORK CAUSE YOU’RE TAKING ATTENTION AWAY FROM THEM” and it’s what prevented me from doing so for a time, until I became a creator of stuff myself and I can say that’s absolutely untrue. For one, I’m not a five year old who needs all the attention to be on me all the time. For another, the fact that someone would take the time to sit down and put real effort into writing something, whether as a comment or in the tags, means so much to me and is the most inspiring. Finally, you have a voice too, and you have as much right to speak it as I do :)

SO COMMENT AWAY, MAKE SOMEONE’S DAY :D

I love the words I devour them

OMG is this why people stopped leaving comments in the past few years? I’m so hungry for comments! You don’t have to put them in the tags, either. Feedback gives me so much more energy and motivation to make art than a silent “like” and I crave it!

I love comments! They let me know that people are actually actively engaging with what I create! Hitting “like” is so quick and quiet, but a lot of art, to me, is about creating things that express a perspective or feeling that you hope others will also connect with. Telling me how it makes you feel or what you love about it is the response to the call! It’s OK to put those thoughts in tags if you’re shy or just don’t want to put them right on the post, but I do read them and appreciate them. Every single one! (Which is why, caveat, it is a good idea to only leave reasonably polite ones and not use mean humor that won’t necessarily hit with strangers.)

Please comment!! It’s been so quiet not just on tumblr but most places I post online. It is really discouraging to create, to call, and hear nothing so often. Tell the people and creators you love that you love them!! You never know when your comment will be the encouragement they need to keep going.

my favourite scene in lego monkie kid season 5 was when me and mei discussed who was the top and the bottom in shadowpeach

do you guys want screenshots of this convo bc it's too fucking funny to not post

*puts pointer fingers together with big lmk eyes* Yes please.

Things I’m excited to see in s5

- Azure Lion finding out who was pulling the strings the whole time (his eyes glowed ink green when he achieved his goal and I think that that’s something)

- The reveal of who stole the scroll and presumably gave it to Jin & Yin or AL (I firmly believe it wasn’t Azure because the person in the cloak had human proportions)

- Azure getting stuck with leaderly responsibilities (this could very well be played for comedy)

- Everyone learns why exactly the Jade Emperor being absorbed(?) is such a bad thing for the universe

- Peng insulting more people down to their core (I am firmly on the side of the fandom that likes that bird and I think he’s got an interesting role in the group dynamic)

- Yellow Tusk being wise in a significant way (like maybe a line where he’s like “Hey Azure, something’s up with you, maybe calm down a little?”

- Nezha being taught that he has value beyond what post he can take up and maybe having a cute moment where he at least smiles

- More content regarding Princess Iron Fan’s days as a celestial (this one I’m fine with because that shot with her and DBK’s first meeting is everything to me)

- More DBK angst (dude clearly has an issue with being called “weak” and I want to see another adorable shot with him and his wife saving each other from the ink)

- Red Son confronting his own issues + maybe even his parental abuse (maybe we could get flashbacks if we’re lucky)

- MK OR MEI RESCUING RED SON (if the show ends up leaving the fam in the scroll because they’re villains and it gets them out of the way I will be PISSED)

- MK, Macaque and the audience finally seeing what mind games Wukong was being put through (because we didn’t actually get to see that in s4 and since he never got out I bet we’re being set up to finally see him and Mac’s fallout in s5)

- More monkey form MK (hopefully him eventually coming to “embrace it” without “accepting his destiny”)

- MK finding out what exactly Subodhi meant by the stone being remade to make another celestial / demon monkey, but MK not actually being born from the stone (maybe getting to meet that goddess in the artwork who potentially shaped him (Quanyin?))

- Finding out what happened to the Samadhi Fire (we haven’t seen Mei use it since LBD and the only time it was mentioned since was Subodhi talking about it in past tense, and honestly if the writers nerfed her simply because they had trouble write conflict while Mei had that universe-destroying power I’m kinda chill with that)

- Sandy’s being “too nice for [his] own good” becoming a character flaw that he has to get past in order to save his friends (someone on tumblr came up with the theory that Sandy’s hiding something and being super nice on purpose and I haven’t been able to stop thinking of it)

- Seeing WTF happened to the Mayor after LBD’s defeat (did he shrivel up and die because his source of immortal power was destroyed? did he actually get arrested by the Megapolis law enforcement that we’ve never seen because everyone saw their mayor hanging behind the demon freezing and destroying the city + he’s more closely connected to human society than any of the other villains so he deserves a human punishment? Or did he actually get away and is currently plotting revenge while having an identity crisis? (please writers even if he anticlimactically died off-screen I WANT TO KNOW))

Things I’m excited to see in s4

- DBK interacting with the homies/enemies/whatever the show ends up deciding on

- Iron Fan being a badass (we don’t see enough of that)

- Red Son and Mei.

- Mei solo-ing a fight

- Sandy taking MK to his therapist (this can be offscreen)

- A few more seconds of Sandy “going back to his old ways”

- Pigsy badmouthing his past self

- Tang attempting to go vegetarian

- Wukong (and maybe Macaque) being forced to confront their pasts

- Any moments of Bai He characterization and interactions

- Seeing what happened to the Mayor after LBD’s death

- FLASHBACKS GALORE

Part 2 coming up!

The fact that Nezha was 100% willing to sacrifice himself (potentially in vain) to protect the JE and was even ANGRY when Tang and co saved him makes me sad. Boi needs therapy.

Also I think he could actually hang out with Tang and they could teach each other things, but that’s just a hope.

Hey can someone talk to me about season 4 episodes 3 4 and 6 but specifically everything involving Tang, Pigsy and Sandy? Just like, ignoring all the MK stuff for a minute. There’s so many character moments for those three in these episodes and I need to know I’m not the only one whose brain went abuzz in response.

Still love that Sandy's introduction was Pigsy going "Bruh what happened to you? You use to be badass and have enough anger issues to give Popeye a run for his money, what happened?" And Sandy was pretty much just like "Oh I got therapy!"

FR that whole scene is one of my favourites. Still waiting on that Sandy/Pigsy/Tang college years flashback...

Redson headcanons go brrrrrrrr

(Bonus)

Self reblog because I want to come back to this because I am called out by at least two of those brains

Anyways if you’re a member of the fighter-that-was-punished-for-fighting-so-they-subconsciously-learned-to-freeze gang... can we be friends?
