[S] TRY -OR- MAKING A CAT CRY: THE RHAPSODY by HeyLasFas!
Running Time: 38:31

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Katia F. Managan is a young nineteen-something cat/girl/kajhiiti/thing that pretty much is terrible at literally everything, especially success. That’s a recurring theme here. 

[S] Try -or- Making A Cat Cry: The Rhapsody is a lighthearted piece divided in seven movements detailing the constant emotional detriment of everyone’s most favourite, and least successful courier. 

Taking this album seriously is incorrect. 

Featuring gratuitous cursing, a horrendous singer, terrible pacing, odd assortment of instruments, and nearly entirely recorded in HeyLasFas!’s bathroom, this album is potentially literally the worst album to be created by man and mer alike. 

Do not listen to [S]T-or-MaCC:tR. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If you absolutely cannot afford this album and still want to have a copy, PLEASE do not hesitate to write me and I will make sure that you get a copy! Otherwise, if you could spare the money it would help a great amount to keep my work alive! (also pay the rent!)

~HeyLasFas!

reblogs are super appreciated! <3

For the record, though, HeyLasFas totally wrote an entire album inspired by my webcomic. 

After that last post criticizing people for using Tumblr for things other than spreading art, I think I’m kind of obligated to spread some art. Go HeyLasFas! 

Also yeah I still made this album and maybe y’all want to buy it if you haven’t?

Or don’t!

But do it guys, it’s fun and ridiculous and full of secrets!

HOLD THE PHONE.

This album has HIDDEN MESSAGES?!

Well, time to listen through it a 7th time! (Hopefully it’ll be as fun the 4th!)

Every album or song I work has easter eggs, silly!

I want you to look up.
Do you see the stars in the night sky?

No, Matta, I don’t see shit ‘cause you ain’t done you blind git.

Everyone still needs shading, Rarity needs her gradients, and when the background is done I need to recycle it for a bookend image. This particular image is the last image of the bookend pair, it needed the most work so I did this one first.

That awkward moment when you work left to right and your skill improves so much that by the time you reach the right side the left side sucks.

I mean =cough= There’s some tweaks still left to do on top of what hasn’t been started.

Hmmm… Get this and the bookend done, then its time for some Luna, and then some busy Sparkle, and finally some Dusk. Hopefully the Luna image won’t be too complicated…

Somethings changing

Something strangely

Something’s shaded 

Rearranging

Something’s stolen

Something’s Bolded

Vital pones

Have yet been woken

Something’s severed

Something’s layered

Something’s odd

About the weather (background)

Something’s blackened

Now re-drafted

Turn your back,

That work’s redacted!

Something’s older

Something’s newer

Hold your breather

Rainbow’s gone bluer

A brush twitching 

Artist wishing

We don’t know what

She’s been missing

Something’s missing……

(Please don’t go full Silent Dusk on us Mattatatta)

*Slams Jupiter into Alsritt*

Clever wordplay.

Also I totally missed this holy crap

People need to vent.

I believe this is something that exists universally and trying to draw the line at the various forms of oppression sorta degrades this, for it’s just a natural state of humanity.

There was a lovely TEDtalk from Christopher Poole, the founder of 4chan, detailing this a bit:

• I mean, for as much good that kind of comes out of this environment, there is plenty of bad. There are plenty of downsides. But I think that the greater good is being served here by just allowing people — there are very few places, now, where you can go and not have identity, to be completely anonymous and say whatever you’d like. And saying whatever you like, I think, is powerful. Doing whatever you like is now crossing a line. But I think it’s important to have these places. When I get emails, people say, “Thank you for giving me this place, this outlet, where I can come after work and be myself.”

Now, of course again, I’m not policing anyone from speaking out, I’m actually encouraging the opposite.

[…]

The current trend on tumblr seems to follow a series of steps where someone would speak out against a specific group, a dissenter would scream from the heavens “not all herpaderps,” then it would be sorta open season from there.

Why is this? I’d like to think I was a decently good behavioural analyser, but to be fair I did go to college and that mighta chipped away at my knowledge a bit, heh.

To answer that question, it seems rather confident that the issue is that those who jump in to dissent are not allowing those talking to vent.

This is a really long post full of cute images so I hope you don’t mind me cropping it down to just the (possibly rhetorical) question near the end. That is, the question of why venting on Tumblr pans out the way it does.

First of all, I think it’s important to note that there are some very significant design differences between 4chan and Tumblr. 4chan, from a pure design perspective, is basically optimized for venting. If you’re feeling negatively toward something, you can barge into a thread about it and start ripping it apart. There are no personal consequences to doing this; no matter what you say, it will not reflect positively or negatively upon you. It’s a safe place to vent, functionally comparable to, say, anonymous venting pages like this.

More important, though, is that it is designed to let things pass. Being anonymous means you start existing at the beginning of your post and cease to exist at the end. If someone replies to your complaints with a really compelling counterargument, there is no social pressure to hold to your old opinion. If you calm down later and realize, no, that movie wasn’t terrible enough to justify a ten page rant, you can just pretend those posts were never yours. It encourages maturation, growth, and change - ideas we don’t necessarily associate with 4chan, though that makes sense given we can’t actually see anyone there changing. To us, people simply pop in and out of existence. 

Compare this to Tumblr. Tumblr is, at its core, a platform for spreading and preserving art. The more artistic merit something on Tumblr has, the further it spreads and the longer it lasts. You are encouraged to follow people who post things the you are interested in, meaning everyone on Tumblr - including you - develops an “identity” based on what they post and reblog. The more consistent your identity is, the more people will be interested in following you (after all, people follow you because your content matches their interests; they don’t want your interests to change). In that way, Tumblr is the opposite of 4chan: its design pressures you to stay the same, worry about your identity, and judge others according to theirs. That is what helps art spread. 

Consider what this means for venting, though. If you vent on 4chan, you are doing it to a small room of people who will agree or argue with you, and then in like a day it is gone with no traces other than any impact you left on those people. It’s how venting worked back before the internet, with the added bonus that nobody can tie it back to you should you say anything that would reflect on you poorly.

When you vent on Tumblr, it becomes a part of your identity. Everyone who is interested in the content you spread sees it and associates it with you. And not just that, they spread it. If one person agrees with something enough to make it part of their identity, then suddenly more will have the opportunity to take that message and spread it. What started as venting becomes activism. Words spawned from anger and frustration become a fight in which you are expected to defend yourself. People who think your message may be harmful move to stifle its spread, which they can only do by spreading a countermessage. The result is a complete mess that takes people who are talking to no one in particular and actively pits them against one another.

And I mean, it’s not their fault for venting. It’s their fault for venting on Tumblr. It’s a service for spreading art. I can’t even respond to your post without sharing both it and my reply with all of my followers, because Tumblr assumes you have made a work of art and I am reblogging it with a comment like “this is a cool song”. Venting on Tumblr pans out the way it does because Tumblr is not build for that kind of thing. Really, there is absolutely no way this should even be considered a blogging platform to begin with. 

Kazerad says, while using Tumblr to vent about blogging.

You’re right though.

“those who jump in to dissent are not allowing those talking to vent.”

That’s not how speech works. If you share your opinion, people get to have their own opinion about it in turn. It’s not ‘policing.’ Its dialogue.

If you want the things you think to go utterly unchallenged, then you probably shouldn’t put them on the internet under the scrutiny of others.

Both excellent responses and discussions from those who are better with words and more direct than I.

Originally, I was to name the topic “In Defense of the Devil of Devils” in order to ease the incredibly harsh mentality of 4chan that most people seem. I simply got lost somewhere along the way searching for images of Christopher Poole in a dress.

Just a curious thought.

I just saw a simple post about the recent Santa Barbara shooting. BTdubs, just to get things out of the way, you won’t find any defense of mr. shooty from me. What he done was beyond despicable, so much so that I refuse to even acknowledge his name or existence, I feel very adamant on the stance that peeps do really shitty things to spread their name or messages and making the assaulter a celebrity or household name isn’t something that should be. Bastards don’t deserve fame.

That was depressing to type.

Aww, it’s even wearing a little crown!~

Alright, moving on…

My post here isn’t actually about that terrible event, it’s regarding a message in the original post I saw.

And even then, it’s more about a comment in the subtitles below.

• I’m just saying that THIS is why Tumblr makes jokes about men. Its a safe haven that we can vent without worrying about being shot and killed for saying no.

If the idea of using a website as tumblr as a means to vent is common, this seems very similar to what one of the main ideals of 4chan operates on.

The ability to anonymously speak your thoughts, as twisted and warped as they may be.

Now, of course, the balance is hella shifted in the opposite direction, and I certainly don’t claim to harbor any negative emotions that either 4chan or tumblr proclaims, but I do want to take a look at that idea:

People need to vent.

I’d damn sure hope that no one ACTUALLY wants to instigate a genocide against those that eat potato chips, or those that watch Thundercats. People will need to vent, and we shouldn’t ever try to take that away from anyone.
