please help my cockatiel pepper get a new cage!

i’ve realised recently that peppers current cage, Vision L01, is too small for him now that he’s fully grown and i think his mental state would be benefited if he got a new shinier cage with more room to stretch his wings in! the cage i need is £130 and i’ve decided to take some mini commissions to help reach that goal! (which means i need a minimum of 16 minis done in total.. so many)

my contact info is in the second to last image! terms / more info

if you can’t quite afford to commission me but would like to help out, please feel free to chip in by donating to the ko-fi i set up for my birds! he would really appreciate your help!

thank you so much for reading, please share this if you can ;o; i love my pepper very much and want the best for him. his old cage may go to one of my budgies, big bird, if i can find the room so it won’t go to waste!! i’ll be sure to take pictures of the cage once i get and assemble it (ง •̀ω•́)ง✧

we’ve made it to 62% of the £130 goal, we’re almost there!!!

I feel like a lot of problems on tumblr could be fixed with a simple date on posts. The original poster date. Because there are still posts going around from 2011. While this is cool with cat pictures, it is misleading for news or kids who voiced a problematic opinion 6 years ago and possibly learned stuff since then.

I just

dislike the idea that a ‘happy ending’ is base and boring

that an ending that is depressing and angsty and full of darkness automatically makes it “something more”

#I’m tired of tragedy equating in pseudo superior art #it’s not #it’s old and over used and boring #I’m not saying everything needs to be perfectly happy #but I’m tired of the overly pessimistic borderline nihilistic view of the world being seen as superior #when it’s not at all #we need happy things so much more than tragedy #the world we live in is already a tragedy

One of the joys of a story is that, after a long road of suffering and tragedy, the characters emerge at the end, better for all that they have survived.  The ending doesn’t have to be the stereotypical “happy” ending, but something where it feels like everything was worth it.   Even stories where the character ends up not surviving, as long as they accomplished something, it’s fine.  The bittersweet ending is still good, even if it hurts.

Stories where everyone ends up worse for having gone through it make me want to flip tables and fling books.  If nothing’s improved by the end of the story, if no one’s settled anything, improved anything, made any positive difference in the world, what the fuck was the point of me reading/watching that shit?!   There’s nothing “grown up” about downer endings.  It’s that same bullshit mindset of “The world is harsh, wake up and stop being happy!!!” that people use to excuse their own asshole nature. 

Stories are supposed to lift you up, take you away from yourself, and into another world.  Allow you to vicariously experiences the lives of other people, cheer for their victories, wince at their defeats, cry alongside them at their losses.  (Or, in some cases, cheer as they get their comeuppances.)  I watch shows/read books because I want to see these characters grow against adversity and come out better for it in the end.    If I want to see depressing bullshit where the bad guys win, I’ll fucking watch the news. 

There is nothing “adult” about tragedy. There’s nothing “mature” about misery.  There’s nothing “childish” about happiness.    The more we soak the world in vicarious suffering in the name of casting off our “childish ways”, the worse off we all become.

The dumbest lyric is “a child, a child shivers in the cold, let us bring him silver and gold.” If you’re such wise men bring him a fucking blanket.

Can I still call myself Goth if I like metal instead of "goth" music?

0

This is one of those things that will always be debated in the community and comes down to what one perceives “goth” to be. Some people say you can’t be goth unless you like the goth rock genre because in the end that is what the subculture is based on. Others say you can’t force yourself to like any type of music, so knowing about the genre and acknowledging the importance of the biggest bands in the subculture are good enough, because even though music is the base it is only one aspect of goth. There is no consensus and everyone you ask will have their own opinion on this.

Funnily enough, in my very early babybat days (when YouTube and social media weren’t even things and we discovered new music through Limewire) goths around me seemed to gravitate towards metal events and music much more than goth rock. I have thought of myself as a goth since 2004 or so, but I didn’t jump straight to The Sisters of Mercy and Joy Division. I started from The 69 Eyes, Nightwish and HIM, then moved on to Cradle of Filth and Dimmu Borgir, then to more electronic and darkwave bands like L’Âme Immortelle, The Crüxshadows and Helalyn Flowers, and only some years down the line to The Cure and Siouxsie and such. Every now and then I’d listen to a little Bauhaus and the like to see how it felt, but it took me a while to find the goth bands whose sound I really liked. But I don’t think of myself as any less of a goth just because my babybat years were metal-heavy because there was a learning curve and I was taking things in as I could. So in my case it was a bit of a mixture of both opinions: At first I just knew about the important bands and the history of the subculture, but in time I found goth rock that I did like and added it to the long, long list of things I listen to.

It’s also good to keep in mind that goth as a genre has been around for approx. 40 years and it’s only normal for it to mix with other genres and branch out into new ones during that time. What is deemed goth music nowadays is nowhere near as straightforward as it was in the early 80s, and there is a lot of metal with gothic themes and influences, and a lot of goths don’t really even seem to care about or even notice the mashup of genres. So there’s no yes or no answer here and it comes down to what your personal take on goth is (:
