Well, chaps, Mermay is in full swing, and we thought we’d share a little selection of its masterpieces. Who knows, maybe you, too, will feel moved to immortalize the noble merperson. Call it inspo. Call it appreciation. Whatever you do, please do feast thine eyes and enjoy.

(As is often the way with the beasties, some of these have fins, eyes, bones, and other potentially upsetting sticky-out bits. Please proceed with caution if any of this squicks you out).

Hello to all sleuths, dead or alive, demon-tormented or pixie-riddled! You’re celebrating the dead boy detectives and their friends and foes in style, and we’re so here for it. 

(Spoilers ahead! Please proceed with the same caution you would perhaps employ upon approaching a ghost trapped in the here and now <3)

Well, you did it. You booped. You booped all over your dashboard with reckless abandon, your finger gnashing away at the boop button, much like a lovely raccoon discovering a glorious half-eaten baked potato. A treasure was presented, and you knew you deserved it. You deserved to boop. Collectively, you booped 142,566,897 times. To repeat: one hundred forty-two million five hundred sixty-six thousand eight hundred ninety-seven boops were had on tumblr dot com the website and the app.

Specifically: 

• Normal boops: 119,204,929
• Self boops: 12,645,652
• Cat boops: 7,925,241
• Super boops: 2,095,231
• Mischievous, aka evil boops: 695,844

One particularly boopable Tumblr was booped a total of 874,212 times. To be so rich in boops is a blessing. The Tumblr that gave the most boops found it in their heart to bestow 127,073 boops upon those they found worthy. 

Over 500,000 Tumblrs were booped and booped back in return. And for what? What would drive so many to boop? Does Tumblr yearn for the boop mines? Well, yes. And also the guts, the glory, the prestige, and, of course, the badges. Oh, how you worked for those badges:

• Booper participants: 229,881
• Booper enthusiasts:  85,548
• Booper supers:  67,571

Hold your heads high, Tumblr. You booped until you couldn’t boop anymore. You created incredible fanart, invented a whole new genre of -sonas, and even created your own premium, high-end awards. It was noble, it was boop. We hope you boop yourself, and boop for boop. Boop, boop boop? Boop, boop. Boop boop boop, boop boop; Boop! Boop! 

Boop,

Tumblr

Hello, Dungeon Meshi fans, but perhaps a particularly special hello to Farcille fans and artists. These two have really captured your imagination in a way that has us a little bit breathless. Here’s a Farcille fanart collection for you. 

(We had to be selective, but there is so much more. Please visit the #farcille fanart tag for the rest of the outpourings of genius.)

It’s Lesbian Visibility Week, an excellent time to be celebrating women who love women. Give it up for the sapphics, their muses, and the gorgeous art that honors them.

Happy Tuesday, and a happy Day of the Mushroom to all who celebrate those delicious, brainy lifeforms. Whether you love them or loathe them, please feast your eyes on these delightful depictions of all manner of fungi—many but not all of which were created during @feefal’s #funguary art challenge.

Well, wow. Who knew one thing moving in front of the other could elicit in us such childlike wonder? Turns out, pretty much everyone, actually. The untimely darkness! The crescent dapples! That bright corona! You’ve all enjoyed them immensely. Here’s an eclipse collection for the annals.

Tumblr Tuesday: Stardew Valley update, your beloved

Look at you, farming, wooing your loves, and being so, so normal about the little patch you have, the simple life, the love you found in that small settlement by the sea. Sure, it has mines, and in those mines, some monsters, it’s true. But look into that sunset with the one you love and tell Yoba you wouldn’t trade every blue chicken in the world for a few monsters and another night in Stardew Valley. This is your Stardew Valley 1.6 fanart roundup.
