i've updated my commision info on my website, i'll have to replicate the new info in a proper tumblr post but i'll pin this for now!

please support:

Kareman and her family - recently started a new fundraiser and vetted! her accounts are @kareman21dohan and @kareman-gaza3

Maryam and her family - with a small baby they need financial support! vetted by association. her account is @mariam-gaza1

Lama and her family - vetted on gazavetters list. since chuffed allows for donations lower than $5, i can draw a simple sketch/chibi type drawing if you donate lower amounts! her account is @lamahouranii12

He's such a fucking cunt I adore him!!!!! Half of this is just him bitching about Hotland!!

Also obsessed with his apparent lack of respect for Asgore????

Keep in mind that the average monster refers to Asgore in a borderline deific way. A very friendly figure, but someone of infinitely more power than themselves. It makes sense when Undyne and Gerson rag on him, they are very personally familiar with the guy, but Papyrus has never met him?? He just??? Doesn't give a fuck??? He calls him a "big fuzzy pushover", which he might've gotten from Undyne, but he also comments on his puzzle policies being lackluster, "of course". OF COURSE???? PAP. I love him. He's so fucking funny. "King Fluffyboy" Get his ass, Papyrus!!!

I also really love how he doesn't hold back on teasing his friends, but goddamn he is BRUTAL!

"Am I allowed to be proud?" PAP PLEASE HE'S NOT EVEN IN THE ROOM

"Will I need an umbrella?" PAPYRUS YOU'RE GONNA KILL HER he bullies her about Alphys so much, it's adorable

"(THE SOUND A BABY MAKES)" P A P Y R U S

HE SAYS "DON'T TELL ME MORE OF THIS GARBAGE." ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS SIR!!!!!!!!

This isn't as analytical as the Undyne one, but that's because I just wanted to sit and appreciate Petty Papyrus. I feel like this aspect of his personality gets smoothed over a lot of the time, which is a damn shame because the man can be an A-Tier BITCH when he wants to be. And sometimes he wants to be!! For as much as Paps is unwaveringly kind and well-intentioned, he's also not afraid to voice his displeasure when he feels safe to do so. I think his naivety and lack of experience are often mistaken for innocence or childishness, but Papyrus is very capable of handling both his own and others' feelings.

We get introduced to Papyrus and Undyne in opposite ways. First we see that he's a goofball, then we see that he's actually very competent. First we see that she's terrifying, then we see that she's a massive goober.

A few weeks ago, a small but higher-than-normal number of accounts were mistakenly suspended. The suspensions were quickly reversed, but our response wasn't good enough, and we want to say more.

We're sorry it took us this long to address this. Trust and safety issues are difficult to discuss publicly, and we can’t share details about specific individuals or how our systems work without exposing Tumblr to bad actors. But caution led us to say too little, too late.

We’ve heard from members of the trans community on Tumblr that they were disproportionately impacted, and that deserves a direct response. According to 3rd party researchers, Tumblr’s userbase has the highest proportion of LGBTQIA+ folks on social media, so it makes sense that when something goes wrong, those communities might feel that disproportionate impact.

One thing we want to emphasize is that we do not moderate people's identities. We moderate behavior. We know that identity shows up across a Tumblr profile in many ways, from followed topics to the flags people put in their bios, and more. However, these signals play no role in how our moderation systems make decisions. We monitor those systems for evidence of bias and take corrective action when we find it.

We understand that the communications sent to affected users, and our broader silence to the community, didn't meet the standard people expect from us. That feedback is fair, and we apologize. We've updated the messaging sent to people impacted by these incidents. We are also overhauling our process with a goal of responding to mistaken suspension appeals within 24 hours, and have instituted an ongoing internal review of how suspensions and appeals are handled.

Going forward, we're committed to finding a better balance: being more transparent with our community about issues that matter, even when we can't share everything.

Tumblr belongs to everyone. We take that seriously, and we intend to earn back your trust. We are not afraid to have tough discussions with you or make updates based on your feedback, though on occasion, it might take some time.

To the people whose accounts were affected, and to the members of our trans community who felt targeted: we are truly sorry.
