Hope This Helps - Blog Posts
To everyone who puts up fanfic only for it to not get a lot of likes.
IMAGINE THIS: You are sitting somewhere public, writing your story. Someone random walks up to you, asks to read what you are writing, they read it, then they say they like it.
Imagine that feeling every time you put a new chapter up, only for it to get 3 likes. JUST IMAGINE 3 RANDOM PEOPLE TELLING YOU THAT THEY LIKE YOUR STORY!
People have so much pressure to go viral, or to make something and for it to get MILLIONS of likes.
But most people don't get that. The majority of the population will never get that. And that's a cold hard fact.
But hang onto the feeling I mentioned earlier. Every time you get a new like, you brighten up someone's day with your writing. Your work was so amazing that someone took the time to read it, keep reading it, and tell you that they liked it.
My point is, (I know, this was very long lol) every like or comment counts, no matter how many or how little you get.

*tucks you in with fuzzy blanket* *pats your head*
You’ll be okay, friend <3
/gen question, why do you draw all your goatlings goats with tatas regardless of gender? I love your art it’s so tasty looking I’m just curious because that’s a unique choice I haven’t seen people do before
Oh it's actually because it's just how I represent myself in my art! I use he/him (or woof/woofs) pronouns but am completely comfortable in my body that happens to be assigned female at birth! So I just use my art as an excuse to draw more dudes with my body haha :3 Though in the comic designs I am working on I also have characters with more typical male bodies since I don't want every dude to be like me lmao. I hope this answered your question and I'm so glad you enjoy the art!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
If its tips you want, tips you can have!
I like to draw the curve of the neck starting at the center of the back of the head, closer to the top! Then any spines u draw can follow that transition space nice n cleanly.
Don't be afraid to mix it up! I like using boxes, triangles, or circles to map out the main head and snout shapes, normally triangles are just for the snout lol. And the distance between them can really alter the appearance!
Here's a very sketchy example of 'joint mapping' or whatever you wanna call it :]
TUMBLR WOF FANDOM!!!!
Im really new to drawing dragons

Hello 🎉❤️ As we step into a new year full of possibilities, I’m asking for your help to make a fresh start for a family in need. 🌟 Could you reblog my pinned post or donate $10? Every act of kindness could bring them a brighter tomorrow. Thank you for being a part of this new beginning! 🕊️🌸 Adam
Yes, I'll reblog. I would donate, but I have no money. I hope this helps!
So–
One of the things I to do when encountering art block is to read a fortune from a fortune cookie and draw the absolute first thing that comes to mind(no matter how random!). This had lead to a wonderful variety of interesting little doodles in varying stages of completeness. But that’s the point when you’re struggling to draw; it doesn’t have to be perfect, it just has to be.
With everything going on in the world atm, I figured I would share my little idea. Because, if it has helped me, it might help someone else as well, and who doesn’t need a little bright spot in their day!🧡
If you feel like giving this a try, go right ahead!! [Just add the tag #fortunate_inspirations so I can see your lovely doodles!]
(ALSO, If you don’t happen to work at a Chinese restaurant and have a bunch of cookies on hand, there are a bunch of online fortune generators available)
What's the context behind the 'hare in fox skin' au?? I'm dying to know
Theres more but this is the main idea lol
Meanwhile here I am having problems with both, granted the abused and old af phone model problems are more tolerable than the new and very well carefully cared for laptop
Laptops are always so much more Fucked than phones in my experience. A laptop is like a beautiful horse that wants nothing more than to break all of its legs. A decently solid android phone will act normal
when i say i like hiking, i don’t mean “eight mile backpacking trip with special gear and an emergency beacon” sort of hiking, i mean a three mile loop to go look at pretty things and then a huge brunch after.
Your trauma is valid even if it took you years to realize it was trauma.
hey so it’s march now aka the beginning of endometriosis awareness month and i feel obligated to remind you that debilitatingly painful periods are not normal. if you or someone you know is ending up sick or bedridden every month, you are not crazy and deserve medical attention from someone who will take you seriously
Does anyone have a link to a back-to-basics article about good fanfic practices, like standards of content and chapter length and such (speaking as an old fart who only wrote a couple of shitty one-shots back when lemons were a thing)
Feature ideas I have to make tumblr worse
Unfollow notifications. When someone unfollows you, you receive a notification about it. The notification includes the last post of yours that the unfollower saw so you know what the final straw was.
If the unfollower was a mutual then this notification comes with stats about how long you were mutuals and a list of comutuals who have to pick sides in the divorce. The comutuals receive this notification too
Ability to edit other people's replies.
Ability to edit other people's blog themes.
The ability to gift debuffs like those cooking competition shows. Pay $15 to make someone you hate only be allowed to post 20 times a day. Pay $30 and they can only make posts out of the set of pre-approved family-friendly message options like the Webkinz chatroom.
De-blaze. Halt someone else's post right in its tracks by removing all impressions. The more a post is circulating the more expensive this is.
30 Day Trial Follows. When you follow someone you can't unfollow them for at least 30 days because c'mon, don't you wanna at least give them a chance?
Obligatory "Tumblr houses". You have to act really really excited for the yearly sportsball tournament or risk being shadowbanned. Your blog is forcibly themed after your Tumblr house.
Obligatory name, face, and address when you sign up. This isn't for verification or anything this is explicitly for doxxing. Hopefully you'll think twice about posting your rancid My Little Pony take now that you know the whole fandom can be at your doorstep in an hour.
Not that anybody asked, but I think it's important to understand how shame and guilt actually work before you try to use it for good.
It's a necessary emotion. There are reasons we have it. It makes everything so. much. worse. when you use it wrong.
Shame and guilt are DE-motivators. They are meant to stop behavior, not promote it. You cannot, ever, in any meaningful way, guilt someone into doing good. You can only shame them into not doing bad.
Let's say you're a parent and your kid is having issues.
Swearing in class? Shame could work. You want them to stop it. Keep it in proportion*, and it might help. *(KEEP IT IN PROPORTION!!!)
Not doing their homework? NO! STOP! NO NOT DO THAT! EVER! EVER! EVER! You want them to start to do their homework. Shaming them will have to opposite effect! You have demotivated them! They will double down on NOT doing it. Not because they are being oppositional, but because that's what shame does!
You can't guilt people into building better habits, being more successful, or getting more involved. That requires encouragement. You need to motivate for that stuff!
If you want it in a simple phrase:
You can shame someone out of being a bad person, but you can't shame them into being a good person.
