Step 1: Stay in bed as long as you possibly can.
Step 2: Speed run.

Could it be this? Cheers :)
Oh my god!! I think I must have been misremembering it being pencil sketches, because I super think this is what my brain was trying to find. Thank you so much!! I can’t believe my cry into the void worked.
hello i need help, a few days ago a post crossed my dash with some really lovely sketches of blackbeard/edward teach with his hair up. like just some pencil sketches (or digital pencil) of different angles and expressions. i feel like the caption was something just like “ed with his hair up, that’s it” but now i’m not sure. anyways i CANNOT FIND THE POST NOW and it’s sad. is this ringing bells for anyone?
i avoid printers at all costs but deep down i think i should've been a printer. life so easy. i sit there all squarelike and when someone has a minor task for me i goFUCK YOU
leave an ask for the person you reblog it from!
let me eat oats out of your hands i promise i'll be niceys this time
i was lying. fingers fingers fingers fingers fingers fin-
i dont like the idea that kids these days are doing their fandom rps with ai chatbots. that's how you're supposed to make lifelong friends as a weird really online teen.
it's because forums are dead. tumblrs become too janky to easily find communities and many are abandoned, twitter isn't very intuitive for it, we don't have mailing lists, facebook doesn't really let you make character accounts anymore, and all the old "omegle but for role play" type websites died out ages ago. toy house exists, sure, but can be hard to get into and in my opinion is more oriented towards displaying art and designs rather than writing.
these days there just isn't space to meet other online rpers and connect like there used to be. back in the day you could go to gaia, neopets, any number of pro boards and other custom forums, you could meet people in chat rooms, there were websites dedicated to rp matchmaking and ads, email lists and circles and "guilds", tumblr communities, just unlimited networking options.
these days if you don't have an established network your options are:
-reach out on mainstream social media (high risk of no one finding your profile, high risk of regular accounts finding your profile and being rude about it)
-join an MMORPG, LARP, or tabletop (not the same imo)
-get really into solo writing
-use the janky AI out of desperation
it sucks pretty bad but i feel like the best way to tackle the issue isn't "ugh why do people use these awful bots" so much as "hey where the fuck DID all the role play networking websites go"
it's the same energy as when people started wondering why kids don't go outside anymore after they were banned from the malls
I just want to plug the fact that MU*s still exist! This includes MUDs, MUSHes, MUXes, MUCKs, MOOs, etc. These are the games that have been around for decades that work via telnet protocols. Which sounds ancient and esoteric, and it is, but also you have new codebases like Ares and Evennia that have done a lot of modernization of the hobby in different ways. MU*s have traditionally been about LIVE RP – that is, writing back and forth with other people at a regular cadence over a couple hours, but platforms like Ares have also made more space for asynchronous play more akin to forums. For a long time, people primarily connected to these games via clients built for that purpose, like BeipMU, Mudlet, and MUSHClient for PC, and Atlantis for Mac. But Ares and Evennia games are allowing people to just connect via a browser more and more. Ares especially has a whole web portal system that makes the hobby a lot more friendly to newcomers! I know that the idea of “playing by command line” or downloading a program just to play an RP game can be very weird and offputting to those checking out the hobby, so Ares making it so that games can basically be engaged with just via your web browser can be a great entry point.
MUDs tend to be heavily coded; your character will have stats, equipment, etc. It’s a bit like playing an MMO via text in that you’ll be able to fight mobs and pursue stuff in an automated sort of fashion. How much RP a given MUD features is going to depend on the specific game. Some have very little, and some have a lot!
MUSHes and MUXes tend to be a bit more like tabletop: your character may or may not have stats/skills you can roll, but you won’t generally have automated coded grinding like mobs to kill. It’s more focused on collaborative storytelling with other players. Some don’t have stats/skills or the ability to roll them at all! It’ll just be entirely players navigating things together.
A lot of the databases for listing these games have died off over the years, but Mustard is one (tends to have more games on the MUSH/MUX end of things), Grapevine tends to have MUDs, and both Ares and Evennia have their own lists of games specifically made using their code.
This is basically the part of the RP hobby where I got into RP two decades ago, and it still exists, and people are still making games and innovating on game code. Especially if you love live RP, it might be something folks might enjoy checking out! It might be very new and different from what someone’s used to, and it may not end up for you, but the hobby still gets a steady stream of new folks from other RP platforms who end up loving it – so it might be for you! Who knows. I am from the MUSH/MUX style end of things, more focused on freeform RP with maybe character sheets and some rolling like tabletop, so my MUD experience is a lot more limited. But there’s still a lot out there!
Please elaborate on the amount of tattos you have
None and don't want any
None for now (what are you planning?)
Just the one (give context pls)
Multiple, each carefully planned with deep symbolism (tell us about it)
Multiple because i have to fight the urge to get a new tatto very often
Multiple because I volunteer my skin on festivals and stuff (?!?!)
Each for a specific period of my life (elaborate on that)
Like 4 but all names and close together so it counts as one
Wouldn't you like to know, weather boy
I actually have -1 due to... reasons
See Resultsrb with your usual coffee order yes this is profoundly boring but i dont CARE i want to KNOW
what was your original fandom. like not the one you first started with on tumblr. the first bit of media that you made content for
“what’s posted on the internet stays there forever” is true for everything except that one piece of fanart you saw when you were 10 that changed the trajectory of your life forever. you will never find that again it is gone forever
Oh man I have a folder in Dropbox that’s just titled “Formative Art” for exactly this reason—any time I luck across some ancient art that permanently imprinted on my little middle school brain I HOARD IT into my little folders. Just in case these were particularly influential to anyone else, a couple of my heavy hitters:
Anna Misak:
Bara-chan:
Stephanie Lostimolo:
I know that nowadays everyone knows her for the amazing Lackadaisy, but back in the late 90s, Tracy Butler was this artist for me.
