art archive :3

I'm always going to be an stalwart defender of both high art and complete trash. I also personally think that the best way to really open yourself up to the highs of the former is to be open to the guiltless pleasures of the latter.

"tumblr doesn't have an algorithm so likes are WORTHLESS they do NOTHING" well actually likes tell me that people liked my post. they have worth because they show me people saw my post and enjoyed it. that's still interaction even if it doesn't give an extra boost to make Number Go Up even more. yeah I generally get more out of written feedback in tags/replies but likes are still Something, they aren't people telling me "fuck you I'm not sharing your post" they're people telling me "hehe I give your post little a like as a treat."

[gripping the edge of the sink with trembling hands, eyes bloodshot] i do not need to be good at the things i love to do them

SO mean that i have to make content of my own ocs. cruel that i can't just beam what's in my brain onto paper or something

as an artist that hates the like/reblog ratio on tumblr when it comes to art i promise you, on my life, that when people like your art they are not doing it out of a place of genuine malice. i have no idea what would make you decide that

“when people like and don’t reblog it’s like they’re saying ‘fuck you’” no. they probably just like the drawing but don’t know what it is or don’t want it on their blog. please be fucking for real
