"Kindness for All"

Waaaaay back in the Horse Days I made a series of MLP themed posters where the main idea was to not actually show the horses at all -try to keep it a little vague, but still use all their colours and symbols.

I think it came from the idea that some people would like to show their fandom of MLP without the obvious and implicit ponys in it for one reason or another, ergo the posters.

This one is Flutteryshy; Wallflower supreme and owner of the Bastard Rabbit.

This one is Rainbow Dash; everyones favourite pride flag coloured sports-lesbian.

Magical Girl in Training

Fighting evil by moonlight. Winning love by daylight. Never running from a real fight. She is the one named Sailor Moon!

I never really watched Sailor Moon or any of the other magical girl shows, but much like other anime tropes like big mecha and kaiju and super sentai it kind of just trickled culturally into my brain over time.

SHADOW WIZARD MONEY GANG

WE LOVE CASTING SPELLS

these are in desperate need of posting. gregg x angus drawings.. i love them so much

!!!

happy (late) birthday @chunky-doggo <3

Second Dorf Fort propaganda poster! Spoof of the old american one of the german soldier peering over a wall menacingly.

I think if I did this again I'd have him peering out of a bush or tree foilage, the whole "over the wall peering" vibe isn't very elfy.

This is my husband holding my fat little boy! Such a lovely baby boy.

enough religious spam blaze posts here’s my biggest ferret instead

I got saffron ice cream!

What if when we were born we were each assigned a Wikipedia page like a social security number would that be fucked up or what

Kroot & Krootling! My favourite part of the whole Tau empire; which in my opinion should have been Star Treks Federation rather than a weird mash of Gundam and Red China tropes, but I digress.

I like their eating/absorbtion based powers and how they're kind of just chill as far as beings go in the 40k 'verse.

I'd like to play as Big Dad Kroot in a 40k RPG someday.

An old pencil, paper and ink piece I'm still pretty proud of after all these years.

D&D tiefling cleric, I got to play her exactly once for one session but the design is still neat.

Just say no!

A fun spoof of an old soviet era poster, I think the origional was trying to tell people to not drink booze with meals? Anyway, I like the whole Elves Vs Dwarfs Dorf Fort has going on and I tried to capture the low graphic nature of the game in a different way to the previous PETSCII/ASCII ones.

I actually like salad, but as part of a meal, not the whole thing itself.

My favourite thing about living on shitty Terf Island (tm) is all the shitty old men who look like boiled thumbs and throw their shitty beer cans everywhere every match day.

Smallfry is always a good time to doodle. Smallest possible boy.

When the servers you paid for hosted on your switch that you paid for using internet you paid for playing the game you paid for have connection issues all the damn time so you can't play.

WoD’s Demon: the Descent took this idea and made a really interesting game with it. It has more in common with the Matrix than Supernatural and the many takes on faustian bargins and trying to blend in with humanity as a kind of celestial-robot running off the tracks are brilliant!

the reason i love the comparison between angels and machines (robots, transmission towers, trains, computers, etc.) is that it gets to the heart of what angels essentially are: divine machines. they’re mechanisms through with the divine is able to act, created with a purpose and “happy” to fill it simply because they were made to do so. they have more in common with a machine programmed to run on algorithms and make calculations based on input commands than they do with humanity, even if they bear a human visage - an attempt by the divine to help bridge the gap. angels do not need to be eldritch monstrosities to be terrifying, because they are already alien to us simply by being angels. for an angel to choose to deviate from their purpose and achieve free will is to fall because in order to have free will they can no longer be an angel, because an angel is defined by its purpose. much like the stories we tell of robots that gain sentence, only to discover that they can never truly be human, but neither can they go back to being a machine, angels who fall become something else entirely, purposeless and adrift and alone. it is a tragic sacrifice.

Very useful for me as a reddit refugee to have, thank you!

Very Brief Guide to [tumblr], for Reddit refugees

Shit You Must Do Right Fucking Now:

Change your profile picture, blog header, and title to something other than the defaults. Do it right now. You will be mistaken for a bot otherwise, and blocked.

Go into Settings -> Dashboard, scroll down to Preferences, and turn off the options in the picture. This will get rid of most of the algorithmic stuff.

Turn off Tumblr Live. You have to snooze it once every 7 days for some stupid reason. It's hosted through another company and will steal your data if you use it.

Go to your blog settings (under the little person menu) and turn off these two settings:

Turn off infinite scroll (lags the site) and turn on timestamps on posts, in the same menu as Preferences.

Basic Features of the Site:

Reblogs drive the entire site. If you'd upvote something on Reddit, you'd reblog it on Tumblr. You can add text, images, or tags to a reblog, but you're not required to.

The dashboard is the equivalent to your Reddit feed, and contains the posts of all the people you follow, with the newest at the top

You can send an ask to someone, and it'll appear in their askbox for them to answer. You can receive them too, or turn off the settings if you don't want.

Tags aren't actually used for finding stuff (search function is dogshit), but are more for categorizing. People also talk in tags. Because Tumblr is weird, you can't use quotation marks (") or commas in them without fucking it up

You can filter both tags and phrases under Account Settings; doing this will put a filter over a post that contains them, which you'll have to click through to see the post itself. Useful for avoiding hate speech or blocking out annoying stuff

You can make polls in posts. Here's one now.

Likes are useless. They literally do fuck-all except send a notification to the OP.

Stuff Tumblr Does That Other Sites Don't:

Very old posts (I'm talking from like 2012) often circulate on this site. There's no such thing as a post being "too old" to reblog

Blocking is highly encouraged; you can block someone for any reason. Even for just being annoying.

If you and someone else are following each other, you are mutuals. Mutuals are fucking awesome and are treasured like friends. Mutuals are a thing on other sites but Tumblr treats em differently.

You can screenshot someone's tags if you like them and add them to a reblog. This is called "peer review"

Sometimes someone will find a blog and go through it and like/reblog a bunch of posts. This is totally fine and not "creepy" like it is seen as on other sites.

Tumblr jokes often rely on Continuing The Bit and a "yes, and?" attitude. Goncharov is probably the best example of this.

We are fucking infested with bots. They will either have totally blank profiles or be filled with porn. Block and report on sight.

Censorship is pretty lax here. I can say "I want to brutally stab Elon Musk to death and watch him bleed out in front of a crowd" and nobody gives a shit.

General Etiquette:

Don't try to do epic clapbacks here, you'll probably just get laughed at or blocked. If someone is bugging you or spouting bigoted bullshit, block them.

Reblog art!!! Artists often struggle to gain traction on here; reblogging will give them a boost.

Not every reblog needs a comment or tag in it

You can go all out with tagging your stuff to organize it, or you can just leave it all blank. Someone might ask "hey, can you tag these posts as [x]?" and you can decide if you want to do that or not. It's generally polite to oblige, but "no" is still reasonable.

Avoid discourse like the plague. Filter it, block people who start it, scroll past it when you see it. Just don't get involved in it. Ever.

Don't put fandom tags or jokes on someone's posts about serious matters or personal shit

You're responsible for curating your own dashboard; if you complain about constantly seeing stuff you don't like, that's probably on you. Don't be afraid to unfollow.

Follower count doesn't matter much here and you don't have to make yours known if you don't want to.

Reblog, don't repost. Reblogging keeps the credit and doesn't "steal" engagement like Twitter retweets.

If someone likes something a LOT, they might reblog it like 30 times in a row. This is normal

Having a post blow up is actually kinda a bad thing, since it floods your notifications. There's a sort of in-joke about how having a big post is awful and people jokingly try to stop their own posts from blowing up, often in vain.

Tips:

Get XKit Rewritten if you're on desktop, it's a really helpful extension

In the little drop-down menu next to the 'Post now' button you can either save a draft, schedule a post, or add it to your queue. The queue lets you post things in order at a certain interval, which you can change. It's good for spreading stuff out over time.

You can use Shift+R to quickly reblog stuff and Shift+Q to queue!

Filter your notifications under Activity - you can also see some neat graphs

Find each other! If you want your old Reddit communities to stick together, seek out other refugees and follow them.

Have fun on [tumblr], everyone!

I love the fantastic narratives Dorf Fort makes for us, this one in particular you could genuinely write into a story or rpg and it'd be a beloved character.

dwarf fortress fucks so hard. my current fort has an occasional patron who is an 86 year old owl lady named 'the frozen one' who spent the first couple of years just perching in trees and watching my dwarves. a two headed fire breathing ettin came to lay siege to the place before I had a proper military established, and while I was freaking out trying to lock doors she just. floated down and tore him in half. when I checked her inventory, all she had was a plain brown dress, socks, shoes, and a pair of gloves. she just ripped him down the middle like a phonebook with her bare talons.

later while checking out other visitors I discovered that almost every bard in the fortress had been her apprentice at some point. eventually she came inside to check out the taverns, and now she just sits around watching performances and getting into arguments about them, feeling nothing. I love her so much.

ACAB

I used to want to be a police officer once, but now I know better. Institutional violence is nothing to aspire to.

Headrubbies

Husband isn't a furry yet, but we'll get him eventually.

I think its important that she still went with him to the Iron Foundry, and the Mineral Museum. She might not be a geology fan like him but she still went with him, because it made him happy and she trusted his genuine interest.

how am I supposed to believe they're dating

Tankard of "Wine"

Wine probably shouldn't foam this much, but I'm a cider guy so what do I know.

I like to think the Plump Caps and their resulting wine share a lot of flavour with where/what they're grown on. like if you grow them on wood chips you get a nice woody or earthy undertone.

Grilled Plump Cap

Plump caps must be the Dwarfen equivilent of the humble potato; full of every nutrient you need, and you can make booze out of it!

I always imagined that they'd have a nice starchy taste, somewhere between a sweet potato and a chestnut mushroom.

Also, turns out you CAN make wine from 'shrooms irl! apparently it tastes a lot like normal grape wine.

Food is caloric input that goes in my tummy.

Vidja Gaem is visual stimulus that tickles the eyesballs.

Dwarfen Miner, finding some Adamantium

I love the classic Dorf Fort art style. an ASCII/PETSCII kind of look with limited colours and shapes. Really gets your imagination going you know?

I put a wee plump cap and a hidden monster in the picture too, as is required of a spooky cavern.
