Tbh I think fandom generally needs to get better at sitting with the uncomfortable fact that a story/fanwork/meme/whatever can hurt one person and help another
did i tell u guys i got into an argument on twitter bc i said foxes are dogs and someone tried to bring up their actual fuckin. classification or whatever and i just said “foxes are dogs cause they are fluffye” and they kept arguing with me. the entire time i was like “you will not survive the immigration to tumblr you are lucky we are not there right now”
canon (we’ve seen at least one canon character with these features):
Multiple colored tentacles (either individually or as a gradient)
different ear shapes
piercings, including tentacle piercings
dyed fingertips
different teeth shapes
scarred tentacles
dried or fried tentacles
deny them of their eyebrows
unnatural skin tones
facial hair
tattoos
unable to change form
different eye mask shapes
inspiration drawn from real squid and octopus species
extra or missing tentacles
making them a different animal entirely - splatoon characters aren’t limited to just inklings and octolings! Make your oc a type of fish, an anemone, an urchin, a shellfish, an octarian or a salmonid! (Or maybe something else entirely)
non-canon (as in, we’ve never seen characters with these features)
Scars from ink
ink-colored markings/visible chromatophores
shaped tentacle spots or suction cups
(I wanted this part of the list to be longer but I can’t think of any more atm lol)
if you have more ideas for either canon or non canon features, feel free to share them! :)
My morning glory doesn’t like the wind chime
Happy new year everyone!
It’s a tradition of mine to draw my skykid watching the fireworks in the hour before midnight on New Year’s Eve. This is my fourth year doing it.
Here are the others
Hey. Minors following me. Internet safety is key!! NEVER include these in your bio/byf:
Medical diagnoses - this is nobody's business but yours. You don't owe anyone an explanation for why you are the way that you are
Trauma - same reason as above
Triggers - people can use these against you! Don't give people tools to hurt you. No one has to know what tags you block. Just block tags to stay safe!
Age - age is okay for adults to include but is iffy when you're a teen. Predators want this information, don't give people more than they need. Just state that you're a minor, that's all that anyone needs to know.
In general: stay safe. If you're not comfortable with every stranger out there having access to this information, you shouldn't post it on the internet.
Play devil's advocate and ask yourself about what would happen if someone searched for your information with intent to hurt you. You do NOT owe anyone an explanation!
I still think the most devastating enshittification I've ever seen has been picrew. One of the few dress-up game websites left that's not flash-based and it's become DRENCHED in ads. You can't open the home screen without being blasted by at least three or four ads. You can't open two picrews in a row without watching a video ad first. When you have a picrew open the ads cover up the different options and sometimes even stack on each other so you have to hit like 2 or 3 different x buttons to get it to go away, only for more to appear seconds later. Evil world
stop normalizing ai use in fandom 👎
the little girl i was looking after today was so effortlessly funny and she didn't even know it. she wanted me to play "holidays" with her, which i assumed was a game where you pretend to be going on holiday - and it technically was, except her version mostly consisted of roleplaying being stuck in a traffic jam on the way to the airport
