Reblog and put the species of the nearest stuffed animal

Hi, Dee! I hope this is okay to ask. I've been following you for the last few years and have always loved your art! Watching you grow as an artist has been really inspiring. I love your use of texture and color and if you don't mind me asking, what process do you usually follow for your art to achieve all those colors that seamlessly blend plus its texture? Is it just the brushes you use and how you use them or do you use other resources? Thank you!

If you’d like a reference for what Tumblr looked like when I joined it and then you might understand why people are saying it’s copying Twitter

neocities guide - why you should build your own html website

do you miss the charm of the 90s/00s web where sites had actual personality instead of the same minimalistic theme? are you feeling drained by social media and the constant corporate monopoly of your data and time? do you want to be excited about the internet again?

try neocities!!

what is neocities?

neocities is a free hosting website that lets you build your own html website from scratch, with total creative control. in their own words:

“we are tired of living in an online world where people are isolated from each other on boring, generic social networks that don’t let us truly express ourselves. it’s time we took back our personalities from these sterilized, lifeless, monetized, data mined, monitored addiction machines and let our creativity flourish again.”

why should I make my own website?

web3 has been overtaken by capitalism & conformity. websites that once were meant to be fun online social spaces now exist solely to steal your data and sell you things. it sucks!!

building a personal site is a great way to express yourself and take control of your online experience.

what would I even put on a website?

the best part about making your own site is that you can do literally whatever the hell you want! focus on a specific subject or make it a wild collection of all your interests. share your art! make a shrine for one of your interests! post a picture of every bird you see when you step outside! make a collection of your favorite blinkies! the world is your oyster !!

here are some cool example sites to inspire you:

we’ve started feeding this tortoiseshell-point siamese recently. she’s beautiful, aside from the fact she has disturbingly big, bulging blue eyes. we’ve started calling her… ‘goop’

it’s goop!

GUESS WHO HAD GOOPLETS! SIX ENTIRE BABIES! mama goop held onto her gooplings for an entire week longer than she had to, so the gooplitos came out very well done and fluffy!!

nearly five years ago… since then, mama goop has aged significantly, and as she nears the end of her life, she’s been given a cushy retirement alongside her beloved husband, papa pumpkin. for everyone who remembers this post, the goop troop sends their regards

jokes that will literally never not be funny to me:

  • saying “speedrun strats” every time you fuck up
  • saying “first try” when you’ve tried the thing like 15 times, minimum
  • saying “skill issue” when something is 100% outside of anyone’s control
