#shai rant

It's the equivalent of leaving 2 favs while tapping yourself in the shoulder saying "I did good, I reblogged!", when you are sharing on the obscure blog with 5 spiders that follow it at best. You aren't helping spread the post, nor helping the artist/mutual

If you want to spread the post, why reblog where no one will see...?

It's just sad to me, when I see the reasoning to have reblog side blog, Its just to keep their blog 'clean'. I get that, the side blog is to "continue sharing stuff" but 95% of ppl ain't following that blog. Personally I also want to help my mutuals reach a wider audience. I find their art amazing and I do want to share it with the max amount of ppl as possible. Reblogging into a side blog where my audience doesn't follow won't help them XD and if the sacrifice is my blog looking less clean so be it. Tags exist on Tumblr for a reason.

At the end of the day, I can't force u + you are in all your right to use your blogs how you want to. Maybe you just like clicking reblog button and do it too much, that's ok. Just don't be under the impression that 'reblog' into your obscure side blog that 3 spiders followed is impactful. (And I'm judging you)

If I may offer a suggestion, maintain reblogs and your normal stuff on your main AND create a side blog to reblog all your stuff. This creates this "clean" portfolio blog. This is smth a mutual of mine did and it's frankly good solution.

You clicked see more??! I have consumed your entire timeline now with this gigantic post 😈😈😈 . I considered skipping talking about this milestone, it's not even that special, it's 350, between 300 and 400. I frankly had nothing special to draw, and I think that's never going to change lmao from now on. If I ever repeat the adventure of drawing the max numbers of mutuals OCs as celebration, I will only do it again on a big milestone. Anyway getting sidetrack. I drew this time my sona in a cuter way instead of the ugly doodle I did last time lmao. Idk I like it more but I have a feeling it will get ignored more from lacking the crude look.

I think it passed enough time that I can talk somewhat talk what I have been doing without repeating myself. I have been trying hard, but really much harder to interact more with people online instead of just leaving doomscrolling and just leaving a like. It's been hard, I still casually scroll and leave likes, but I feel I made slow but good process leaving comments and love to tohers sdfuhjgksa. My social batteries aren't the best so they drain fast doing this, especially because a lot may get ignored xD. Sorry if I ended up interacting less with you or I haven't gotten yet, it's a slow road...

I have been also trying to keep my blog cleaner by keeping a system of quota, in simple terms for each og art post I make, I can also reblog someone elses. Sadly I'm not rogdona pumping out doodles all day every hour and every minute. Sooooooo I have been naturally falling behind moots posts, and I naturally want to share all of them bc they are peak. Some of you might say, "create a secondary reblog blog!" and to that I say, I already have one, and it's not that useful. Almost no one follows secondary blogs for reblogs. Meaning when you share something through them, you do increase their number by 1, but no one else will see it aside from you. While a reblog to my main blog, I know they work because i get the notification of ppl leave a fav through them lmao. My only use for this secondary blog is those cases of reblog chains, or a reblog I don't need to be on my blog (like responding to someone). Idk you might notice this sounds like complaining about lack of social battery to interact and the fact I can't reblog everything, all me issues that I created for myself lmao- so moving on

How about the main thing you guys followed, my art? xD I assume so at least majority of you followed for that. What you guys think of Bonbon? Cinnamon? My art progress so far? I haven't shared much lore of them around, since I have written very little new stuff. I have been more reorganized my lore and files. I like google docs, it's great for writing. But you know what is better to organize, faster, and I don't need internet to use? My local onenote files!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥I still will end up using both but my onenote will be like a more detailed final script. What you guys think of my art now? Improving? Yes, nay? Like the newer style I'm using? Because it changed fghidf, I have switched brushes, and shading. Like do u prefer the new hair style I draw for bonbon that is fluffier and messy or prefer the simple one? I have been posting a lot more art compared to last year too, mostly sketches and doodles. They are easier to do and fun, do u like them as my dialy updates of what im doing? Don't be afraid to answer btw, bc chances are, even if you don't like them, I will keep doing them bc I post for myself (my new mental state i picked up, I am my own target audience).

Enough about the past and present, the future is the cool shit, I can give some updates, new ocs! Lore! Yes my little sponge! I can share a little secret, my oldest followers might remember, 1 year ago I posted a rat OC, and then never again i posted that guy. Well, he will come back, once I write in more detail his quirks, but the mouse will take a decent place in the story of Bonbon. Other updates, Luna has suffering some developing, welp lots and her background too. She is now part of Camilo Universe thanks to edu kind soul for letting me join her and help her build pokemon but portuguese. It's peak y'all will love it, trust the process. Will just take forever to finish- Anita, remember her? Yeah i wont blame y'all if don't. But it might surprise you, I have been building up stuff. Or to be more exact, brainstorming ideas and writing them all down for the world building. I have been thinking of magic systems, the setting/year it will take inspiration, places, funny little gadgets and even characters. I won't spoil nothing since it's still too early phases, only vip users like Edu or swek get access if they for some reason ask. All gatekeeped...😈😈😈 Some future stuff I plan to do and I have been wondering, what do you y'all feel about 3D art? I always wanted to do it, but always been too scared. Ever since swek made Bonbon 3d model, artsand adventures with 3d in my timeline, and the occasional animation in 3d with cool models I see on youtube and other social medias... I wonder to myself, do I have the patient to learn that too? Is it even possible for me to make a good looking model for Bonbon without raging. I got blender installed now, it was to edit a video, but it's in my computer tempting me. Idk, i have heard horror stories about blender, and i don't want to spend all my time rendering smth in blender when i could be drawing and improving that too. Talking about improving art, that's another thing I wonder to myself, if I should just art videos to learn tricks and concepts lmao, smashing my head agaisnt the wall till i learn how to do hands good isn't the best way. And I have no idea how to learn by myself clothes physics and dynamics. I want to give bonbon a baggy hoodie, bc that is the type of clothes bonbon likes.
