Hey look, pretty pictures (and funny videos)

Relax, everyone! George Takei has a reassuring message for humanity.

...Yeah, I kind of love that guy.

Anyway, am in a reasonably good mood at the moment. Short break allows for sleeping in time, and got my results back from a test I had recently, with 89%. Which is always a nice number to see on coursework.

Plus internet has been on the amusing side of things lately.

I mean, so far I've also found a cockatiel singing the Evangelion theme song, Chop Cup, which is rather gloriously mindfucky, and Things Could Be Worse, a series of tragedies in art.

Because things could always be worse.

Also, courtesy of a certain kinkmeme, I have now seen several different combinations of Texts from Last Night and Code Geass, which will be files with the Utena version I linked a while back as the greatest things ever. I don't know why anime + TFLN is so funny to me, but it is.

(Plus there's also Ask Code Geass Dads, which is endless funny if you are familiar with a certain fandom meme).

I have noticed there that the last bunch of links have found are all Tumblr sites. Tumblr is not a site that I am on, though I know some people on my flist are - and some aren't. I can see the entertainment there in checking out all the awesome art (I love me some shiny pretties), but not being much of a making art person myself, I'd just end up constantly reblogging stuff from other people.

So flist, please, please convince me whether or not I should get a tumblr account! Links to awesome tumblrs is considered a valid form of argument.

Why hello thar, person whom I don't recall speaking with before. Please feel free to introduce yourself.

Is there much else to Tumblr than reblogging? (Or posting art for those who make it). That stuff seems fun, but discussions always seem awkward to read in my eyes.

Hihi, I think I added you via the Code Geass community here on livejournal. My name is Jodie! I'm a cosplayer/photographer/fujoshi from Melbourne, Australia. I watched Code Geass earlier this year and it blew me away and now I'm obsessed. :)

Tumblr is very amusing for all the themed blogs you can follow like the ones you have found. There's lots of really great "ask" ones where an artist draws their replies as well. So people do use it to post their own art and photos too. You can tag posts and those tags can be tracked or searched by other people, so it's nice and easy to find things you are interested in outside of the blogs you are following.

I feel that for discussion and proper blogging, Livejournal is still better. It's just that it's rather dead lately. Hence me adding new people like yourself to give my watch list some new life! :)

Oh, another Melbourne person I see. I just don't recall much actual conversation with you, really.

Yeah, LJ seems to be better for actual blogging, even if Tumblr has it's arty benefits.
