back in the 00s a single dancing anime chibi gif would feed us for months on end
Here’s the template. Go forth and recreate the dancing anime chibi gif. Revive the old ways.
This fucking thing all over deviantART in the 00s-10s LMAO
The bases on this post are all JPEGs for some reason. That makes them hard to use properly. I will link to the originals and provide some additional ones, along with a tutorial on how to actually make them into a GIF.
You can find many other bases like these through DeviantArt.
How to make them into a GIF:
Step 1. Edit the base however you like (I used MSPaint)
Step 2: Crop and save each frame individually as PNGs (Note for the lick base: It’s best to crop them to include the black boarder. This makes the GIF 50x50, which is the standard DeviantArt icon size and can easily scale larger if need be.)
when I was a kid & assigned to read the book the outsiders, I assumed that it must be written by a man because there are virtually no female characters. so I was surprised, at that time, to learn it was written by a teenage girl. I remember asking my mom about it, and she was like “well, sometimes boys are the only thing on a girl’s mind.”
I find it telling that the reverse is not true. straight boys are not generally writing stories where all the characters are women, and if one did, it would not be explained in that same way where obviously when boys like girls they want to write about them.
in fact, pretty much everyone I know who was ever considered to fit that description (a boy really interested in relationships between women) was not a straight boy at all. mostly these were trans lesbians & bisexuals.
it seems like only dykes are ever really interested in stories that revolve around exclusively women. but everybody is interested in stories that revolve around exclusively men.
i was in the grocery store and saw an onion on the ground and picked it up, absently saying “poor little guy.” behind me a teenage girl started laughing and then stopped and went “aww. i’m sorry for laughing. that’s nice actually.” and the cycle of cruelty is broken for another generation as a young person realizes that it is not embarrassing to have empathy for another thing that was once living, because certainly to be a lone white onion rolling on the ground in a supermarket would be terrifying to anyone

tired: “treat people like NPCs” as in disregard their humanity and interiority
wired: “treat people like NPCs” as in talk to them and learn their lore to feel more embedded in the world around you
When I was in high school we did an english unit on Octavia Butler and the teacher told us hey btw. You should call her “Butler” in your essays. Sometimes students call female writers by their first names unconsciously, but that’s not acceptable. If you wouldnt call them William or Ernest you shouldn’t call her Octavia.
And I was like cool whatever I was gonna call her Butler anyways. But that moment has stuck with me for my whole life because once you start seeing ppl calling women by their first names where men would be called by their last names you literally never stop seeing it.
In regards of the Trump government scraping all trans inclusion in its queer information portion of its websites I have made this thing. Spread the word. Don’t let them pretend we never existed.
So Pokemon Go came out and I legit walked around for three hours in the dark, met like five of my neighbors also looking for Pokemon, and saw a grown ass man trudge into a pond. What a time to be alive.
nintendo’s plan to make everyone get out the house is working spectacularly if a bit odd.
“Working spectacularly, if a bit odd” is Nintendo’s entire goddamn business model.
Why? Why would you do this to me? What do you mean 2010s nostalgia? Excuse me? Hello? @2010s-nostalgia
