idk I have phases where I have pinned posts for a while, but it’s usually for promoting something, and I like to keep that option available.
I don’t have a dedicated sideblog for art or anything, but I’ve tried to make my art very easy to find. You can either click the hyperlink in my bio, or just search “#my art” on my blog
here’s my two cents about the “I’m bald” phenomenon as stand-in for “see results” on polls that have nothing to do with hair.
replace “I’m bald” with anything else people are body shamed for, and imagine that’s the trait this website latched onto to represent “I don’t think there’s anyone here with this trait, and even if there were, their opinion isn’t worthwhile.”
Like imagine if every single poll had “I’m fat/see results” or “I’m short/see results” or “I’m blind/see results” or “I have a cleft palate/see results” or “I use a wheelchair/see results.”
I think most people would acknowledge that with anything else it comes off as mean, so what is it about baldness that makes it ok?
it makes me really sad because I don’t think most people realize how little people take baldness seriously.
People are rushing onto this post to say “It’s not that deep” “it’s just because it’s funny” well baldness is ALWAYS funny to you people, isn’t it?
Have you ever paid attention to how often bald edits are made in fandoms? Have you ever seen someone genuinely headcanon a character as a bald? Have you ever considered how most people’s first reaction to seeing someone bald is to laugh?
This poll thing doesn’t exist in isolation. This is part of a much larger phenomenon.

and jesus christ I KNOW the origin of why this trend started in the first place, but does that really matter???
it does suck that you can’t headcanon that a character would go bald when they’re older without people assuming you’re making a joke. Like it’s not allowed to be a “cool thing” to headcanon
and not just older, but younger characters too. Fun fact about me, I’ve had trichotillomania since I was in 3rd grade, and my hair has been consistently patchy since I was 10.
it’s just kind of annoying that you can’t go into a fandom without finding an edit/comic/etc of one of the characters being bald and it’s always a punchline. like how often do you see people headcanon characters going bald and it’s genuine?
