yaknow i've never made a pin. uh, might as well

howdy, I go by Jake, Hallow, and Rat. I've been here for Quite A While!

i like making things! I especially like sewing rather large and silly things, like the oversized Big Man (Splatoon 3) kigu above or the lifesized Wimpod plushie-backpack in the top left corner! I honestly wanna do a lot more life sized plushes of video game and other stuff, and am willing to make you something too if you're willing to pay! (DM me and we can discuss!)

I also like sharing games and such that I like, and you can check me out on my twitch over here, normally with a friend along!

#thanks for reading! i dont know what to put in a pin. here's some highlights of things i've made i guess.#i draw too but most of that tends to be intensely specific or silly stuff whos main audience is typically me and one friend ghj#uhh i guess im making this unreblogable bc its not really meant for sharing around#just a reference for people to see what i do i guess?#does a gay lil dance. i tend to be bad about posting things i make here but i do wanna try to be better about it

It sucks that people are treating the Reddit blackout as a joke or assuming it's impotent rage over a minor decision bc it's Reddit when like. No, a tech company shutting down access to their API by forcing third-party devs to pay completely unreasonable fees ($12,000 per 50 million API requests, which to the largest third party clients would be tens of millions of dollars) and in the process destroying both accessibility apps and moderation tools is Bad Actually

My dad used to drive us around all the steel mills and refineries outside of Gary and Chicago when we were little. I have loved them ever since. I feel the same bliss as when I look at a beautiful castle.

OK APPARENTLY the tooth fairy is NOT as universal a myth as i thought. so. if you/your culture has a myth about a being/creature/whatever who Takes Your Teeth when you lose them as a child, please tell me what it is. so far we have “tooth mouse” and saint apollonia.

It’s dangerous to yeet your teeth around! I’ve always heard that whatever animal finds your lost tooth, you’ll get a tooth from that animal growing in instead of a human tooth. So if a dog finds your tooth, you’ll get a dog’s tooth. Or if a rabbit finds your tooth, you’ll get a rabbit’s tooth.

We have a magic talking mouse in lieu of a tooth fairy over here. He's a distinguished gentlemouse and wears little clothes. Have a delightful piece of vintage art

He also has a family with named members a la santas reindeers but hell if I remember those, I'd have to look for the original tale somewhere at my parents' for that

YESS!!!! I'm glad someone mentioned El Raton Perez here already. One time my little sister was suspecting he wasn't real so she didnt tell my PARENTS she had lost a tooth. BUT SHE TOLD ME. She left him a slice of Kraft single under her pillow, a letter and her tooth. I had some coins saved up so I put those in there and I used my nails to cut out a cartoon bite out of the kraft single.

She woke up sooo excited hahaha.

They even sell tiny doors to put in the kid's room to explain where the house-breaker rodent comes from, like if having that door in your room wasn't anything short of terrifying.

Am I wrong in thinking this seems like the mouse who takes your teeth has a name roughly equivalent to Mr. Paul

Nope, more like Mr. Smith. Pérez is an absurdly common surname.

German from the Protestant center: no tooth fairy, but IIRC one of those wooden boxes, although I don't think it ever filled up, so I guess that my parents just tossed the teeth in the trash (or the dentist would keep them if it happened there).

#had to put my teeth under a certain pillow and would get cash from 'tooth fairy'#(found out later my mom was hoarding all my baby teeth and was mad when i had to have some extracted that she couldnt get them)#nothing fancy other than implications about my mom but i wont get into that

My coasters for the 8th annual “Salut!” coaster show at Nucleus Portland! The show runs from June 11th to July 1st.

Tried a little something different and played around with colored pencils. Enjoyed the color blending and how the paper texture shows through.

If you aren’t able to make it to the show in person, you can view the show online here and see any pieces I have available at the gallery here.

obligatory welcome guide for redditors

A lot of the guides I've seen don't actually seem to understand how reddit works in comparison to tumblr so

  • your blog is basically your own small subreddit. some people curate this heavily to fit a theme, like a sub, most people don't
  • reblogs are culturally equivilant to upvotes but functionally equvilant to crossposting
  • there is an algorithm. it sucks and nobody uses it. turn it off in settings. everything is generally chronological
  • likes are functionally equivilant to saving a post
  • you've probably already seen this but change your icon and put something in your bio or people WILL assume you're a bot. personal info not required
  • generally, anything you would put as a comment on a thread should go in the tags or the replies of a post. only add comments in reblogs if you want it to become part of the base post
  • tags are mostly equivilant to flairs, used for organization and commentary
  • your dashboard is an aggregation of everyone you follow
  • there is an r/all equivilant(trending page) but it sucks and nobody uses it
  • our search also sucks. your best bet is using tumblr.com/tagged/[TAG] and not /search
  • there are no mods
  • by extension, reporting something doesn't put it in front of the mods, it sends it to staff, who may or may not do anything(usually they don't)
  • there is no karma, there are no karma limits. anyone can reblog anything, comment/reply to anything, or post in any tag
  • "reposting"(reblogging) old content doesn't matter. people can and will reblog the same post multiple times, including in a row
  • CAVEAT. reposting someones art(NOT reblogging, making a new post) is a dick move. i know this is commonplace on fandom subs but its not necessary here. everything you post should be [OC] unless you are reblogging. or posting shitty memes
  • we have our own sitelore, you'll pick it up
  • (though im not opposed to bringing some over from reddit)
  • our app also sucks. we do not have third party apps and any that claim to be are scams. sorry
  • for desktop, most people use the XKit Rewritten extension for QoL improvements and to revert shitty aesthetic updates, much like old.reddit
  • we have no idea where the porn rules are at either. add a mature content flag to anything you'd get fired for looking at at work, that's about it

finally, from the bottom of my heart, fuck u/spez

When you make your icon, do not make it be a photo of a sexy woman. Even if its entirely clothed. Even if you are a sexy woman. You will get blocked and reported as a bot instantly if you do.

#hand motions to the prev comment. yeah if i see that im reporting

I think people need to be more comfortable with illegalism and I’m not kidding. Of course the more legal something is, the safer and easier it is to do, but the more people who disregard the law, the harder it is to enforce. There are plenty of laws on the books that people just ignore and are never or rarely policed.

Becoming more comfortable with little illegal activities makes you more comfortable with bigger more important illegal activities. Additionally, it is crucial to build a wall of silence. Nobody talks everybody walks.

People who give out food without a permit, hold a march without a permit, grow a garden without a permit, are more likely to be people you could turn to to work with on preventing an eviction, or keeping people out of cop hands, or helping your friend Jane get crucial healthcare when it’s not legal in your state.

Communities comfortable with these acts won’t call the cops, and then nobody knows that it’s happening.

People have got to shift from both the idea that lawful = good/ illegal = bad, and that the illegality of something means that’s the end of it, and the only fight left is to make it legal again.
