AAAAAA GUYS

Always open

You know, an interesting tumblr transformation that's happened gradually, and which I've seen no one talk about: ask-culture has essentially dropped off to nothing.

By which I mean, asks used to be WAY more of the tumblr economy. They used to be more common to send, and receive, and see. They were integral to the collaborative, forum-like behavior of old tumblr communities, not even to speak on the HUGE number of ask-blogs that used to exist to only be interacted with in ask-form.

I'm not saying this in a vying-for-attention way but instead in an observational way: I used to get way way more asks in like 2015, even with a fraction of my follower count. I wonder if it's due to the homogenization of social media sites? There's a lot more of this divide between "content creator" and "consumer" instead of just a bunch of peer blogs who would talk to each other. "Asks" aren't really a thing on twitter, are they? And as I understand it, the closest thing to an "ask" on instagram or tiktok would be a creator screenshotting some comment and responding to it in a new reel or video or whatever those content mediums are. Are asks just too tumblr-specific? Is that aspect of the site culture dying out as more and more people converge to using all their social media sites in the same way?

this is amazing

OH RIGHT!! hey tumblr. i dont think ive ever talked about this but i've had this one animatic in the works for TWO YEARS. mainly because i would forget about it for months on end BUT TODAY, I FINISHED IT. AND I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE IT WITH THE WORLD.

OMG YES! I did! Hi! :D

yeah I haven't been using the website as often as I'd like because my 2ds has been buggy, and I don't have Colors!3D on my switch, but I do occasionally visit the website on mobile or on my 2ds when I can, I just can't post anything 😭

Leviathan design!

Big deep sea serpent who drowns sinners in the sea of jealousy and feasts on their negativities, transforming them into demons of the ring of Envy (i think).
