Some Kind of Animals Or Creature

  • They/She

Artist, frequently of big anthros. Mid 30’s, ΘΔ, you can find me on FA, Tumblr, and Bluesky too! 18+ please, I make weird stuff sometimes.



I've finally reached the point where my reaction to Tumblr drama is rolling my eyes at all parties and muttering "touch grass" under my breath. The scales have well and truly fallen from my eyes, what an absolutely absurd, self-important website. Nobody fact-checks, nobody verifies information, nobody has any real-world experience, It's facebook for zoomers. It feels like the only thing keeping it afloat is the momentum of its history, even as the inevitability of its demise at the hands of an incompetent and hostile staff looms, people just... think they're too special for it to go bad, not realizing it went bad long ago.

Goofy fucking website. Unreal. I don't care about fucking view numbers, I want to exist somewhere where I'm not fearful that if I use the wrong phrasing once, a flock of vultures with third grade reading comprehension won't swoop in and eat me alive. I want to be around honest to god adults.

Thank y'all for getting out of the cult with me.

ough. everyone who posts about tumblr either talks about it as having been a warzone, or acts as if they're still fighting that same war here because it still needs fighting in their mind. i tried to follow a fair few people who came aboard as a matter of recent events but so many of em were still so goddamn combative and self-important about it that i just gave up and had to unfollow many.

its good to have a place where for the most part everybody has a chance to chill the fuck out. no more fuckin' "bi lesbian" discourse or "endogenic vs traumagenic" or any of the other gatekeepy ones i've heard people refer to offhand. they don't need to be doin' Dr. Seuss' The Sneetches on queer identities and yet that's all i hear about.

a lot of people really need to go outside and stare at a bird until they realize how silly everything about their world is. just watch a bird sittin there on a branch or by the lake. and i'm glad you got out of it and are thriving

"Knife-fighting to the death over things that basically don't matter" pretty much sums it up. It's just a bunch of self-important nonsense, but for so many people it's their whole world, it's all they know, and they get so deep down the discourse rabbit hole that it makes them crazy. I dunno, maybe it's my varied friend groups, maybe it's my full-time-ass job, maybe it's just being 34 and tired, or having had, y'know, therapy for my own issues, but it's just... unwell. All of it is so very unwell.

It's stupid and it's unhealthy and I'm done with it all. Eggbug lives.

we're really happy you could get out of there ;; it's so much nicer here for sure. we've been so much healthier since we abandoned big social media, and yeah there's not as much material but do we need a constant stream of material to be happy? is the sense of community and genuine connection and feel that you're actually engaging with things not enough? it's nice here

See, exactly!!! Like, yes, if your job lives and dies by commissions, that's important, but a constant stream of bullshit is just... exactly that! It's addiction. I'm glad y'all feel better now too, I'm happy to share a community with folks like y'all- a REAL community, not just in name <3

thanks :] we've been on here since a bunch of people from twitter moved here about a year ago, but we were on and off users (mostly because we still had the socmed apps on our phone). we took the plunge and uninstalled them all after the tumblr screw up, and it was the best decision we've ever made
