one day ill do comms

there are almost NO reblog chains!! the majority of reblogs are directly from me, and then it just. ends. the like to reblog ratio is almost 1:4.

this is why posts die. this is why artists have left, this is why gifmakers are giving up. this is killing tumblr.

reblogging is the ENTIRE POINT of this website, and you can't just like something and move on and expect gif/editmakers and artists to continue putting in the effort to make content FOR YOU.

look at this one !!! its so cool

yes, he struggled with his mental health and spent time in an asylum. but there is no proof that he committed suicide and there are so many other incredible inspirational things about his life we could talk about instead: he worked incredibly hard and, within nine years, painted more than most other artists do in a lifetime. he honed his skills and developed a unique style in an incredibly short period of time and literally didnt stop painting until his death. his family, and especially his brother theo supported him financially his whole life. he was the one who encouraged him to pursue painting professionally, and constantly introduced him to collectors, gallery owners, art dealers, and other artists. it’s thanks to him and his wife johanna that vincent became famous at all. after both vincent and theo had died within a span of only 6 months, she began editing, translating, and publishing their lifelong correspondence. she donated vincent’s works to galleries and museums. vincent van gogh didnt become the most popular painter in western art by chance. without the support and money of his brother he would never have had the time to pick up a brush and without the efforts of his sister-in-law he would have been forgotten after his death. the brothers became famous for their letters before most people even saw one of vincent’s paintings.

People are apparently under the impression that reblogging someone’s art and adding a comment is frowned upon and that can’t possibly be true, every artist I know of sees a reblog-comment as like the ultimate definitive reward for their hard work.
