BORN TO FORGET

tumblr is such a different animal than other social media platforms for so many reasons obviously but one thing i really find funny about it is how on other sites if i see something that doesn't interest me i don't follow or don't like the post. but on here if someone i follow starts posting exclusively about something really niche that i have no interest in my reaction is never to unfollow. its just part of the natural environment. like oh mutual is now really into pro wrestling? ok i guess ill be seeing these guys around now

to be honest there has never been a fictional character i’ve actually wanted to date. like. i want them to date each other. i don’t want myself as a person to be involved in this scenario whatsoever. what would i add to this narratively? what’s my thematic purpose in the narrative? immersion breaking. 

AITA for building a giant wooden horse, consequently bringing about the fall of a nation?

The horse has already been built, so I'm just looking for a second opinion. I (35m) have been at war for 10 years now. Our greatest soldier is dead. Our commander wants to go home. I want to go home. The enemy would also want to go home but they're already home so really I envy them, even if we did kind of kill their greatest soldier too. Technically, we're also taking their home so maybe I don't envy them. As I'm typing this inside the horse, they're bringing us into the city gates,

You, my good friend, have given me a drawing idea

Decided to draw (then redraw) my Detentionaire oc/sona because of orngbananaa's post reminding me he existed

There's more I wanna say, but my brain's fried and I need to sleep jgfhicihckh

His Cuban shirt has a pattern, but I did not want to draw that 🫠

Edit: was going to sleep and then noticed I somehow fucked up his hair colour in the side drawings??? Can't really change it since 🧍‍♂️ <- merges layers

been going insane over Bruce in his eating dome for 24 hrs now

✧ A Mothers Revenge ✧

A kestrel seeks revenge on a European Starling after it kills and eats her chicks. In the U.S, European starlings have a devastating impact on our native ecosystems in the entire United States. This species is known for their aggression towards other cavity nesting birds, outcompeting native species for nesting spots and food sources. They’ve been known to kill many native species from bluebirds, to woodpeckers, to kestrels. They are violent towards competing species, destroying their nests, and pecking holes in eggs laid by other birds. Not to mention, they also destroy crops and devour multitudes of grain each year.

I wanted to portray something intense to kind of grab people’s attention to this problem. Most people don’t know how horribly invasive they are. While they’re pretty birds, they’re not meant to live in the United States. I wanted to use colors like red (to represent anger, sadness, revenge, betrayal) to portray what native species have to endure every year towards a bird that was never supposed to even come in contact with them. And colors like yellow (to represent wrongfully perceived innocence and guilt).

The spills of blood can be represented as the successful revenge the kestrel has, or, the multitudes of blood spilled from native species by European Starlings.

Did you know? All the European Starlings in North America descended from 100 birds set loose in New York’s Central Park in the early 1890s. The birds were intentionally released by a group who wanted America to have all the birds that Shakespeare ever mentioned. It took several tries, but eventually the population took off. Today, more than 200 million European Starlings range from Alaska to Mexico.

"update" to I'm Not A Forward Thinker (<- it finally has a title [confetti rains down])

once again thinking about the dumb lil scene I wanted to add, but maybe next time NBSDVC

I'll probably talk about about it if anyone's curious (because I may never use it)

another thing, I may make a playlist for I'm Not A Forward Thinker because I've been thinking about a few songs that have Hero Gets The Guy vibes

Not really happy with how this turned out, but good enough jhcjhchkchk
