Here's why:
I have NO money to give you
I'm not a popular enough blog that I will give you any reach
I am a minor, and most of my followers are too
It makes me feel extremely guilty
Seeing pictures of injuries or hospitals etc are triggering for me (which are in most intro posts for this sort of thing)
They are always worded in a way that makes me feel like I am a murderer if I don't donate
It makes me feel uncomfortable
I said I don't want them, and my boundaries should be respected
I can't tell what is a bot and what isn't (although I know a large portion of them are NOT bots)
I get a lot of spam from this. It is disappointing to see 10 new asks in my inbox just to be the same ask for donations over and over
Please, just respect the fact that I have said this.
Edits, propaganda and facts below (probably for the best if you read them too)
Edit: To all the people reblogging this, I'm sorry you have had to deal with this too. And yes, you can put this in your pinned post! Stay safe <3
Edit 2: I am pro Palestine and want to do everything I can to help but I'm not financially or mentally well enough to do much. I'm not in support of these people dying. Also, this post isn't just about Palestine. It's about ALL asks for donations. I'm not doing favouritism or racism. I just can't deal with it. Don't harass me for expressing boundaries.
Edit 3: Yes, this post might seem controversial. But I did literally make this for my own personal experience and didn't expect it to get more than 12 notes or so. You can agree with this post, pin this post, reblog this post, I don't care really. But don't add opposing views because quite frankly, it's none of your business. It's not my problem and I didn't mean for this post to get so many notes. Edit 2 mostly covered what I'm trying to say here, but don't use the number of notes as an excuse to fight me. I just want a peaceful Tumblr experience. Also, if you are reblogging this, don't trauma dump. I keep notifications on for this post so that I can block people harassing me before shit escalates, so I can see every reblog. You can screenshot and repost if you want to talk about your problems, but honestly its no better seeing people saying "I'm bankrupt and I just got kicked out by my family. I also have a history of abuse and those images are so triggering that I want to die". That doesn't help me. Make your own post to say that. Please
reblog to pat the Edward
Two years?! I’m in!
'lol what drugs did it take for u to come up with this' i lay on the floor and listen to music to have wretched visions
i can't let the thomas fandom know i fw cgi henry more than the classic...
I think my favorite scene in Hero of the Rails - the UK dub to be specific - is when Thomas first finds Hiro.
Michael Angelis takes this very soft tone as he talks about the old engine, almost like the narrator can’t believe what Thomas has found either. And since he’s speaking so softly, you almost forget that he’s there, and it lets the viewer take Hiro in for the wonder he is.
And I think something else that helps set the scene is that Hiro is - if I remember correctly - the first scrap engine we’ve seen since season five. For a lot of the kids watching when the movie first came out, this was the first time they had ever seen a Thomas character who isn’t in pristine running condition. And even for the ones who have seen Stepney, Oliver, or Trevor, Hiro is in way worse condition than any of them. They just needed some cleaning up. Hiro couldn’t even move under his own power at this point.
There’s also something to be said about Thomas himself here. He just finished running out of control and is currently lost in the woods when he finds Hiro. Unlike Edward, or Douglas, or Rusty, he’s scared when he sees this old, rusted, broken down engine. He doesn’t know whether to run, call for help, or smile back at the old engine. But Hiro is quiet, gentle, and even offers to tell his story to Thomas, and the little engine warms up to him quickly afterwards. It’s nice.
Please make art. You don't have to bare your soul or make a masterpiece, you can be silly and you can be derivative if you want. You don't even have to show it to anyone. Just please make something, it's so good for you
shorthands for dumbassery that i have grown to love deeply
"how dare you say we piss on the poor" in response to someone misinterpreting your post
"_ isnt gonna fuck you" for suck up behavior
"woah. should we tell everyone? should we throw a party?" for who the fuck cares
"and what if the world was made of pudding" for when would this ever matter.
"and sharks are smooth both ways" for a group of people heatedly arguing with 1 guy who is fucking with them all
".. but its about a witch in the alps finding her lost cat" for someone trying to sanitize something to the point of absurdity
I love tumblr bc i can be so pathetic and annoying on here and it’s fine
you can't just show me an engine with such charm and such wisdom and tell me 'don't obsess over it' - WHAT MONSTER DOES THAT?
everytime he appears as a bg character or even has a speaking part - I'm definitely pointing at the screen with excitement.
(aka i bingewatched too many TTTE seasons and episodes and Edward has stood out each time, the only episode I won't watch with him is 'steady eddie' ITS THE CRAZY EYES OF SEASON 12 I HATE THEM-)
i will... draw for fun... the things that..... bring me joy ...
