It's really funny how Tumblr keeps gaining new members just because other websites mess up so colossally,, that Tumblr somehow manages to look better in comparison. Really embodies the idea of failing upwards.

Tragedy! You set out to read a negative review of a piece of media you dislike, only to find that the critic is being completely unfair to it and making a bunch of bad, unsupportable arguments.

Okay I was laughing at the "reddit newcomers vs twitter newcomers" posts but so far all of my new followers from reddit have made more of an effort to change their headers and look like actual human beings than the twitter followers did, so. Yeah.

captivated with that early period where zane still thinks he’s human and all the tiny details necessary for that and the tiny details that’d be missed. jay being jealous that zane seems to never break out esp when they’re wearing masks so much. someone bragging about the muscle they’ve put on/that they grew a little bit/etc versus how little zane’s changed. someone realizing they need a haircut and wrangling everyone else into doing it and by the time they get to zane they’re just like. huh.

This is such a good way of thinking. Not would I pay that much for... but would I do _____ for that amount? Or how much would I pay to avoid doing it myself?

before you see something and recoil at the price, be it handmade items, services, art, whatever. when you see something and you think, "i wouldnt pay more than $15 for that," you seriously have to ask yourself: if i were offered that same $15, would i make this object? would i spend the time to teach myself this skill to get this done, for $15? would i do this service for that same $15? would that be worth my time and effort?

yeah, that handmade necklace is $140. you might only be willing to pay $40 for that same necklace, but would you make it for $40 if someone asked you to?

you want to pay the babysitter fifteen bucks for the three hours she's watching your child. but would you honestly do that for $15? would you go into a stranger's house and change their baby's diaper and care for its needs, for $15?

you think its ridiculous that this artist is charging $30 for an icon commission. would you spend years catching up to their skill level to make that same drawing, start using your skill to make some extra cash, and then spend three hours on a drawing just to get $15?

would you be willing to work for $5 an hour?

no?

then don't be angry when someone else won't.

you don't have buy the service, it's okay if some things aren't within your budget or comfort zone, and it's also okay if the product isn't worth that much money to you. but do not be angry. be glad, because you know of another person out there who isn't being exploited for their time.

"Stop saying 15 year olds with weird interests are cringe, they're 15" this is true however you should also stop saying adults with weird interests are cringe because who gives a shit
