Hi Tumblr Im Alive But My Brain Is Brainrotting Hard Rn

When I finish all of my writing assignments I'm gonna yell into the void about my HCs but starting with Hizashi's eyes. I usually don't talk about it much but I'll tease it a bit:

For most of his life, he's worn green contacts or just not shown his eyes very much. He's both insecure about his red eyes and also afraid he'll scare someone. To hell that red eyes are a feature many people around him have, he's afraid he's scary to people.

This rotates in my mind a lot so that's why he has two different eye colors in certain drawings. Especially with Mic vs Hizashi. Mic usually has the green and Hizashi has the red. It ties into other things too but I can't go on a deep dive ramble or I'll never get my work done.

Some comfort after the angst ft. Skater Zashi and his husband who cannot stop staring at him while he rollerskates (never gets old)

Below is the text in case y'all can't read it (not being rude I know my handwriting sometimes is hard to read):

First images:

H - What's this about?

A - You said you needed a hug?

Second Images:

H - I still got it, Shō!

Share to save someone with nut allergies a hospital trip hoooly shit

Sometimes I forget that present mic can canonically rap and it makes me giggle

It's Indigenous Peoples' Day, and while I am seeing a lot of posts centering anger toward colonizers ("fuck Christopher Columbs" etc.), I have seen very few centering & celebrating Indigenous People themselves. If you want to make a direct & meaningful impact for Indigenous people today, please consider contributing to the mutual aid campaign for my dear friends.

They are 2-Spirit Inuk siblings dealing with chronic health conditions and facing eviction if they cannot raise funds to secure their housing. The goal is $1,000 CAD!

ANY amount helps! You can donate to my friends directly through paypal:

AQIGGIQA@GMAIL.COM

If you're in Canada doing an e-transfer, the password is: HOME

If you collect art, you can also support them by purchasing high quality archival copies of their printwork here! The print at the bottom of this post is just one example of their available work.

Bear in mind that the linked Instagram account only has a few posts because they created this account to preserve some semblance of privacy while requesting mutual aid. These are my personal friends, and I can guarantee that art purchases will be completely legitimate and fulfilled, and all donations will directly & immediately support the two of them.

I think that together, we can make this happen and keep them housed and safe!!! ♥️

Thank you for reading!!!

to those of you who are moving here from tiktok, from someone whos used both tiktok and tumbr for years...

1. DO NOT censor your posts

dont censor sex, abuse, suicide, dont censor it. we dont have censors like tiktok does, you wont be banned for talking about these things and tagging them properly helps people avoid them (also, we dont have shadowbanning here)

2. we dont really have an algorithm

you follow who you follow, and you see posts from who you follow or what you search. the 'for you page' is basically useless here. this also brings me to my next two points

3. dont crosstag

we get it, on tiktok you have to crosstag for reach, but thats not really a thing here. just tag your posts properly (also posters often leave more info about the post in the tags!! and when you reblog stuff you can leave your own notes in the tags, kind of like the old "repost comments" on tiktok)

4. dont expect to go viral/be famous

"viral" isnt really a thing on here (at least not for the average blogger). your posts will probably get 2-10 likes and you wont get nearly as many followers than on tiktok. thats just how tumblr is

5. blocking is your best friend

tiktok is VERY discussion based, and while tumblr is much more discussion based than other social medias, its still not a good place for ragebait/discourse. dont interact, itll make your experience worse in the end, just block and move on

6. you cant go into someone elses house and start rearranging their furniture

this is tumblr, not tiktok. dont diss old tumblr users for how they use the site or try to change them, thats like going into someone elses house and trying to rearrange their furniture. we've been here longer and we're familiar with the site and its culture, either find your niche, adapt, or find a different app

One last update before I color them because he is such a joy to draw with long hair-

I only have the anime ref up btw because I somehow forgot how to draw his sunglasses?? What a concept

Y'all getting a WIP. Long hair in a ponytail Zashi mood. That's the mood I'm in tonight.

the stage production gave him uggs so you know i had to do it to em
