I would have been such a faggy lil caveboy, they’d be like “grug come learn hunt and throw spear now” and id be like waaaa no let me pick berry with old gran. I’m the best berrypicker and all the elders love me and are soso sad seeing me cry getting dragged off to do hunting.
At dark around the fire, uup the wise would say some shit like “different flower bloom different way, let grug bloom” and everyone would be like “aaaaaa thog see now, thank you uup the wise.” so next day im allowed to pick berry and seed with old gran again and she lets me eat the juiciest ones (o^－^o)
The only thing I need tumblr to do is to get like… cool with the idea you can hire people here to do commissions for you and to like.. consider monetary support for artists cuz one of the reasons and the biggest reason I moved to twitter in the first place is because people there buy my art. I make a living there doing art.
And the vibe here is **we don’t do that here** If you want artists to be here and do art you gotta be okay with the concept of artists trying to make money.
I hate capitalism as much as the next person but I’m also 30 years old living with my fucking parents because I can’t pay for a 1 bedroom apartment. Artists are not ‘big business’. We’re not Disney. We’re just people trying to make a living or some money for groceries and shit.
THIS. this is why I don’t bother posting my work here. I hate instagram but that’s where I’ve had the most consistent business for Years. I’ve posted work here before and if I think about the ratio of “I want this” tags to actual comms I will lose my shit. and so many people here balk at literally any price being put on art
bob going all in on descriptions of gertrude’s magic is on the level with oscar describing rue’s fits like the power of a first time player who knows how to perform and is thrilled to get to do it in a dnd context
