Thank You, That's Perfect! Literally My Entire Mobile Browsing Experience In Calligraphic Form

It's official now

Hey Tumblr, do you know what terror feels like? Volunteering at a camp and suddenly seeing thick black smoke and FUCKING FLAMES, one year after the camp had ALREADY burned down and we had worked our asses off to rebuild it. Seeing 160 kids cry, scream, complain, clap every time they saw firemen. Singing about Jesus holding you in his hands, while inwardly screaming for your daddy. Realising that your phone is literally working on 1%. Spending a chaotic afternoon without food, water and a toilet, while trying to keep all these children occupied. Returning to camp at 1:00 PM, with no water and power. Finally being able to sleep long after midnight, and being jolted awake when the fire re-ignited. Reading news the next day, and seeing that you were the lucky one.

i never talk about these things but i can’t remain silent.

i know tumblr doesn’t give a SHIT when things happen in countries outside the “most popular ones” (such as the usa & england). it’s true, don’t lie to me. y’all don’t give A FUCK. not every issue and problem in said countries gets the appropriate exposure but in general shit shows up on the news WORLD FREAKING  WIDE. you set up donations, you help out, your spread the word, you say “pray for x”……

southern europe is burning. 

my country is burning.

people are dying - at home, on the road, trying to run away, in their cars.

yesterday my country had 300 active fires.

people are losing EVERYTHING they own.

i have a friend that is on a train right now passing through places that have been burnt to the ground and she says the smoke is so intense it’s getting inside the train and she can barely breathe.

and yet, even though several people (myself included) have been trying to bring awareness to what has been happening in southern europe… what we get from most of you, those not part of the countries suffering, is silence. we don’t ask for money, we don’t ask for shit other than a reblog to spread awareness… something you can delete in 24/48hrs if you wish. 

i don’t know what to tell you. i’m angry. i’m frustrated. i’m disappointed. i feel like i’m screaming into the void. “a reblog does nothing” - you know that’s a damn lie, you know exposure always helps, you know people start paying attention when posts on social media become popular. my country in particular is a small one, we get ZERO exposure. y’all are only starting to figure out we even fucking exist bc of the shit we’ve been winning lately. 

but hell, if the EU doesn’t give a shit, why should some user on tumblr dot com?

again, i don’t know what to tell you so i’ll let the images speak for themselves:

It's not real but the Anafabula is still coming for us

Hey, guys! So, I discovered SCP when I was a kid and I genuinely thought that it was real. Since then, I've discovered the "fandom" side and I honestly cannot tell if it's supposed to be real or fake. I know this is probably really dumb but if you could please clarify, I would very much appreciate it.

scp is not real. if it was, i would be very confused as to why the top secret government site accepted my piece about a fictional character getting eaten by spiders

Hi, I'm back with a meme.

Old bastard says hello 🙃

Can we just admit already that authors writing stuff like guardian-ward turning romantic, teenage brides, too old men lusting after young girls (even if they are portrayed as villains), just don't do it for the sake of historical accuracy ? The author just knew their story wouldn't cut it in a modern setting and found one where it's easier for the reader to turn a blind eye.

1800's London? 1500's Japan? The shipping sheep will gobble it up as long as it's romantic (blergh) enough and it doesn't get too close to their modern sensitivities. Not to mention the (hopefully) small group of people who are actually, with full awareness into that stuff and you can sometimes see them dropping the pretenses entirely.

Let's use Occam's razor for a second. The author isn't writing for accuracy. They wrote that stuff because THEY LIKED IT.

Disclaimer: YES there are stories that portray these issues for the sake of commentary and critique. How to tell them apart from the borderline pedo material? They're not in the YA romance section.

Of course not! Excluding others from the fandom, liberally calling people "toxic", being an overall jerk, now that's what I'd call a toxic fan.

This is not meant to b a callout post like idek these girls they just popped up on my fyp but ive been seeing this a lot on tiktok lately and i just…. this doesnt make u toxic? Im just so confused like if u like the sequels i literally do not care but i, personally, think the sequels fail on every level of filmakimg and storytelling. Idk. Its just so strange. I dislike the sequels but i still consider myself a star wars fan. Id love to hear yalls opinions on this. Does saying the sequels r bad make u a toxic fan?

Golden Kamui got an anime!

Episode three is already out, I didn’t even know about it getting made into an anime! I love historical series, and this one is one of the best I’ve read. It’s like a western but set in Meiji era Japan. I definitely recommend it, both the manga and the anime, it looks beautiful so far. It’s kinda gory though, so be prepared.

Cover illustration for a magazine called “Metro Guide” being distributed thought metro stations in Tokyo from September 2017. Number of copies: around 1 000 000.

This edition is autumn themed so I tried to make my illustration fit the contents with the colors and atmosphere. I used the Jindaiji temple and the shops that surround it as an inspiration for the setting.
