woooo, halfway through tagging a bunch of art drafts. I think I’m gonna schedule them to post about once a day until the backlog is cleared
in the meantime, I’m gonna start organizing a new commissions post. I think I’ll be offering a few kinds of slots for now: blob chibis, more detailed chibis, regular and artistic freedom fullbodies, and basic looping lineless animations.
that being said, I’m probably gonna want more up-to-date examples for all of these, so! if you want to be a guinea pig and get a comm at a discount, now’s the chance.
discounted prices, rough examples, and ordering instructions under the cut:
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?
i miss random asks tbqh. like sometimes you’d be like yeeeeesh ok not touching this one, but a lot of times it was just FUN.
Some folks I follow have pretty active inboxes but that seems to be the exception rather than the rule.
