Iโ€™d like to point out that the colour red has more positive than negative meanings.

Hi fun fact, colors do have meaning and there is a legit thing called color theory. Red does has more positive connotations than negative like the @mintymaiden said. Red is associated with more love, lust, passion than blood and death just like the chart shows you but If you want, hereโ€™s a link for you to check it out yourself. Also, check out โ€œThe Designerโ€™s Dictionary of Colorโ€ by Sean Adams. Have fun learning something

I think yโ€™all are missing the point here.

You can theorize to Nebraska and back but that doesnโ€™t change my immediate reaction which is that someone is literally dragging a corpse around

I like that the presumption here is that โ€œNo One On Tumblr Has Heard of Color Theory, Let Me Explain in Depthโ€ rather than simply acknowledging that the VISUAL EFFECTS of this particular color choice, applied in the manner it was, can still amount to โ€œthis is a hospital and that looks like bloodโ€

like, color theory doesnโ€™t exist in a vacuum. If your design of choice for Blood Red Paint is asymmetric splatters and sploches against the wall, or in this case, a snail trail on the hallwayโ€™s floor, an infographic wonโ€™t override the viewersโ€™ instinct.

this post is the perfect summation of tumblrโ€™s reading comprehension and critical thought abilities

Reblogging because thereโ€™s a lot of new people on here and you need some context for the jokes.

Help a newcomer, reblog Childrenโ€™s Hospital Colour Theory

Aight, so a suspect has been caught. In the next couple of days weโ€™re going to be bombarded with a cavalcade of information about Luigi Mangione. As we start this period I want everyone to remember:

The killer--whether he is Mangione or another man--is a living, breathing, human being. He has followed people you donโ€™t like, held beliefs you disagree with, and possibly voting for politicians you think suck.

He still shot a man with the blood of millions on his hands. He still caused an outpouring of rage that caused BCBS to roll back its ghoulish anesthesia policy.

Carve that into your fucking minds. Mass media is about to do its damnedest to remind us to hate each other, not the top .001%. Do not let them do this. Yโ€™all understand what Iโ€™m saying? Here, lemme spell it out more clearly:

DO NOT FUCKING PURITY TEST THIS GUY, ASSHOLES!!

And if you see people fixating on his purity over the message he sent, call them out on it.

We have lost again and again and again on healthcare because we keep letting the rich divide us. Remember: the people united will never be defeated.

Edit: A couple of people have asked me to not convict Mangione in my post, and they're right. Mangione has been arrested on gun charges, not for the murder, and regardless of the charge he obviously hasn't been convicted yet. It's too soon to lay Brian Thompson on his head. I've modified the post to reflect that.

That said, what I've said here applies to whoever the killer is. As the media circus plays out, a lot of talking heads will be pulling out all stops to remind us to hate each other, not the insurance CEOs. Do not fall for their tricks!

yeah that's another thing he actually caused them to undo that horrifying HORRIFYING plan for anesthesia, so he already had a positive effect beyond merely removing that one CEO. Keep scaring the shit out of the actual bad guys, keep reminding them that they're so hated, the public will glorify someone for killing them, and maybe more things will change.

Hey yโ€™all, I keep finding myself having my work reposted by larger gimmick accounts without attribution and wanted to put a reminder out there that all of these pieces are my original work. Itโ€™s mostly just a minor nuisance rather than serious infringement but it is getting a little tiresome

If you see them reposted donโ€™t harass the original posters but do politely let me know so I can send a takedown notice or something (mainly big meme accounts, I donโ€™t care much if itโ€™s someone with like ten followers)

Art is my only source of income as I am disabled and currently do not have access to accessible and sustainable employment+not eligible for SSI, so having my work attributed correctly to me is a huge help to building an art career thats more livable for me

I plan to offer prints and maybe start a Patreon on the future so people have more tangible means of supporting me, but until then getting the word out there that this is my work would be really cool since these images have gone so viral. (I have a kofi tip jar as well, but donโ€™t feel obligated!)

In case someone gets on my case for having not signed my work, all three of these are very early pieces of mine and I didnโ€™t really expect them to get so much attention and by the time they took off it was a bit too late to put the genie back in the bottle lmao. Very hindsight is 20/20 sort of thingโ€ฆ that and Iโ€™ve had a couple instances of my signatures getting cropped or edited out anyway ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

๐Ÿšจ Every Bit of Support Brings Us Hope ๐Ÿšจ

Hello, my name is Mosab, and I live in Gaza with my family. Life here has become more difficult than I could have ever imagined, and Iโ€™m reaching out with hope that someone will hear our story.

The war has taken so much from usโ€”our home, our stability, and, most painfully, 25 of our beloved family members. Their absence is an unimaginable void, and every day is a struggle to survive amidst loss and hardship.

Our Reality Right Now:

๐Ÿ’” Struggling to Stay Afloat: With no stable source of income, even the most basic needsโ€”food, clean water, and shelterโ€”are uncertain. ๐Ÿ“š Dreams Put on Hold: The future we once imagined has been replaced by the daily fight to get through each day. ๐Ÿ˜ข A Deep Loss That Canโ€™t Be Replaced: The pain of losing 25 loved ones is something no one should have to endure.

An Update on Our Fundraiser

Thanks to the kindness of generous souls, we have raised $809 so farโ€”but we are still far from our goal of $90,000. Every contribution, no matter how small, brings us closer to securing basic necessities and rebuilding our lives.

How You Can Help:

  • A small donation can make a big impactโ€”even $10 can provide relief in ways you can't imagine.
  • If donating isnโ€™t possible, sharing this post is just as valuable. Every share helps us reach someone who might be able to help.

Your kindness gives us hope in the darkest of times. Thank you for standing with us and for reminding us that even in the worst moments, humanity still shines.

With gratitude, Mosab & Family โค๏ธ

Slowpoke Tails - Shed vs Chopped

Okay, so there's something of a discrepancy between how Slowpoke tails are treated by the Pokรฉmon franchise. Initially, it was understood that these are a tasty, unethical luxury item, starting in Gold/Silver/Crystal and mirrored in Heartgold/Soulsilver:

The whole plot here is that Team Rocket has taken the Slowpoke in the Azalea Slowpoke Well and chopped their tails off to sell on the black market. These run for a whopping 1,000,000 PD a pop ($10k in USD).

But then, in later generations, it's said that Slowpoke tails fall off naturally. In fact, they're a crucial part of both Alolan AND Galarian cuisine:

The curry ingredient even sells for a measly 2,200 PD ($22 USD).

So what gives? Why is it a Million-Pokรฉ black market item when you can get a package off your local hiker?

I am back from Moana 2. Spoiler free initial thoughts:

While I don't think it was as bad as I thought it would be it also was not what I would call good? It was okay. I think the setup/lore is not very well thought out and it just expects us to accept a lot of it cuz things are happening. They really needed to spend more time worldbuilding. The songs aren't as memorable, but there were one or two that I think are solid. I think there are too many characters and literally Moana's crew is just a copy and paste of Buzz Lightyear's crew from Lightyear. Just as I predicted.

You could really tell though that this was meant to be a series. The narrative flow of it was not as smooth for a movie and I can break up each part as if it was "ah and now this is an episode and this is an episode." At some point I also felt like 'this feels like a video game level and I am meeting an NPC that just directs me to the next section.' So that wasn't great. I'm ngl there were some parts where I was bored or felt like it dragged on too long.

But what we ARE eating GOOD though is all that DELICIOUS Moana and Maui content. Their relationship and interactions are so sweet and when they're reunited again it's literally like seeing two puzzle pieces fit back together and they are well oiled machine. They worked so well together that it kind of makes painfully obvious that we didn't really need the other characters at all. Seeing them and their maturing dynamic was worth it alone.

Overall it was. Okay. I am still kind of nervous where they plan to take this franchise now cuz it's clear they want to do more. And why wouldn't they, Moana is probably the only few things keeping Disney afloat from their mediocrity streak. Did this break the streak? I can't really say it did, but it wasn't a bad time. Not like Wish or Frozen 2 was a bad time. But the possibility of seeing more Moana and Maui adventures is still a bit exciting.

7/10.

yeah this is exactly how it felt for me, i WISH it could've turned into a series, or will in the future, it wasn't like the best but it certainly wasn't what everybody was exaggerating about, it was fun to see how the characters matured and changed, and honestly i loved the addition of moanas little sister (there are NOT enough well represented sibling dynamics as there should be, esp with a HUGE age difference), i kinda wish that they just put the time in to help the timeframe consistencies, and maybe bake their songs a littllle longer... (disneys songs have NOT been catching up to pace recently and it's REALLY showing..) anyways yeah it wasn't super bad, i hope any future installations will have enough time and care from disney to really make it shine again
