aka possessions which are just possessions, but which have noticeably improved my quality of life: for when people ask you “what do you want for your birthday/Christmas/graduation” and you instantly transform into St Francis and pledge fealty to Lady Poverty because your mind went blank
nice. new. sheets. I cannot emphasize this one enough. if you’re still using the same sheets you had in college, you should probably get new ones. get yourself some 100% bamboo rayon sheets—they’re silky and perfect for summer and great for sensitive skin! or, if you’re cold all the time, flannel sheets!
kitchen knives. or even just one really good kitchen knife.
new curtains—blackout if you are a creature of the night like I am
fleece lined anything, but especially sweatpants and hoodies. wool lined socks are also good. if you don’t have the option of coming home after work and putting on an entire outfit that is loose and fuzzy, you should change that, because you deserve that option.
cookie sheets with a layer of air between the top and the bottom. the bottoms of your cookies will never burn again.
kitchen scale!!! no more leveling off flour with a knife and getting it all over the table!! now all your measuring is just shoveling stuff in and out of bowls like you’re at the beach. baking is both more accurate and also way more fun.
coffee bean grinder. if you want to upgrade your coffee experience, this is a great one-time purchase. just-ground beans have a much better flavor than pre-ground.
CDs!! ask for a gift card and expand your physical music collection! or a collection of the DVDs for your favorite show!

Seeing more and more blogs without a [username].tumblr.com site which means you can only view their blogs in tumblr.com/[username] mode, and I realized just the other day that nowadays you have to manually go to your blog settings and toggle the "enable custom theme" switch to have a browser site activated.
I REALLY recommend activating this! Especially if you're an artist or if you have a themed blog, like if you reblog fanart for a specific fandom or ship. First and foremostly you can change the whole theme if you want to, you can really just go wild with building your personal aesthetic for your page.
But what I think is even more important, is that you NEED to "enable custom theme" to enable access to your archive! The link [username].tumblr.com/archive doesn't work if you don't have this enabled!
If you post art or archive fanart or fandom content of any kind, letting people access your archive makes it so much easier for people (and yourself) to find older art on your blog or to look for something you drew a while ago that they remember loving and want to look at again.
We talk lots about how on Tumblr old art gets to circulate, and the archive is part of how that works. It's a really useful tool in finding good content that isn't brand new. And especially if you are good at tagging, it's very easy to filter the archive to find ship content or meta or fics, whatever you want to find.

Scribbles because I don't wanna work
i don't know if i should make everyone in my artschool universe attend some imaginary school or not because they're technically personified art schools
Yeah and hes grumpy as hell having to deal with all these asks on a daily basis but at least people enjoy the weird noises he calls music
how long have you been on tumblr?
Shut the HELL up MAN. are u trying to piss me off?
you'd been sitting there for an hour
when i came by
an expression on your face
like milk turned sour
i sat down near the half-finished thing
you'd spent your afternoon on
before you started crying -
i spoke first: 'what's wrong?'
you stammered
something about bullcrap and 'don't give a fuck'
and your lower lip tremoured
so i reached out and picked it up
it was a little thing. delicate. beautiful.
with loose parts that jiggled with a gentle ring
watching warily, you looked on as i pulled it apart
too frustrated to care about undoing your start
wordlessly, i put it back together
you watched my fingers move. unsteady. clumsy.
i knew you could do it better
but at least it would be funny
you giggled. said it looked like a butt.
'i'm offended! not like you could do as much!'
you laughed. 'nah, i think yours still sucks.'
'why thank you, I knew you'd be awestruck'
i handed it back with a grin
and you started over again.
that half finished thing.
