SCENECORE FURRY TRASH

Something I think everyone in the US should read before April 20, 2025. It's really good advice. I especially like the idea of using ridicule as a form of nonviolent protest.

A friend and I were discussing what we're like when we're sick and we decided people usually fall into one of these five 'sick modes': *Everyone is probably multiple of these at different times depending on how sick they are and with what but we think most people have a mode they default to and become more often than the others*

Delicate Consumptive Victorian: you feel tragic and mournful but also beautiful in a sad way, you are in bed, sipping hot tea, others should quietly whisper about how you are too good for this world, too beautiful, too tragic... And bring you more tea

Sick Dog: you are curled up in a ball, you don't want anything, you don't need anything, but it would be nice if others could still ask you if you need anything

Sickly Child Emperor: you are dying and it's everyone else's problem, you need pillows, no! you need soup, no! You need absolute silence or you will not be the first one to die today

Plague Pit: you are curled up probably on the floor, no one touch you, no one look at you, this is between you and God and you already know He has no mercy left for you

Warrior General: you are not sick. You are in perfect health and you don't know why anyone would think otherwise. Illness is an enemy that can be intimidated and you must remain strong for your men! (You are going to pass out at the most inconvenient moment possible)

elon musk is like if you distilled the essence of 2010 “you, sir, win the most epic of upvotes” reddit and put it into the body of a wealthy peanut factory owner from 1835 london who exclusively employed 5 year old orphans

"cozy game" maybe for YOU. I have spreadsheets

i like that we see ^_^ as a smile even though its mouth is totally straight. Its happiness is so radiant it need not smile to let us know!

this is actually super interesting!

so i remember reading when i was a kid that western text users tended to use things like :) :( :0 :/ a sideways expression of the full face *cruicially* using the mouth as the main way to differentiate the expression.

whereas kaomoji commonly used/originating from japan sometimes dosent even include the mouth or it’s just a simple line or dot bc the focus is on the change of expression in the eyes to show the emotion like ^_^ ・x・ ;__; >_< 0.o

to avoid just posting half remembered facts from like 2009 i went to look it up again to check i wasn’t talking shit. it seems to be a combination of the different type spaces used for japanese characters and western characters and also potentially the difference in how different cultures perceive and portray emotions. there are studies about the differences in perception of emotion between americans and japanese showing americans tend to give more value to the mouth area when assessing emotion and japanese tend to give more importance to the eyes/nose area. this is often reflected in american/japanese art and animation styles with western art having smaller eyes and more notable mouth expressions and anime having well. large expressive anime eyes. so westerners ended up using mostly emoticon emphasising the mouth and japanese ended up using mostly ones that emphasise the eyes/nose

of course, stuff is a lot more blurry now there’s a lot of cross influences in both art and like. culture in general but yeah! also it’s a lot easier to type kaomoji on a modern japanese phone keyboard cuz there’s just. a button for it. ☆彡

yahoo yayyy 🎉🎉

fixed it for tumblr

please god stop talking about diets and weight loss in front of kids. especially if those kids are girls. and especially if you’re someone those kids look up to. but really just stop talking about about diets and weight loss when children are in earshot at all. I promise you you’re doing far more harm than good.

in loving memory of my favorite shirt

Tortured artist but it's just because I insisted on using a crt monitor for my video work and it turns out to be haunted

Girl this isn't porn are you stupid.

You may have forgotten hitting juuust the right channel to get the scrambled pay per view porn without actually paying for porn, but Tumblr staff hasn’t.
