#I've been meaning to at least include a link to my art blog in my desc for those who strictly use mobile but I kept forgetting rip

[blackbloodteeth]

It does kinda bug me how tumblr's tag system doesn't really go past 2013... 2012, so any posts before then are kinda lost to the reblogs. That and it's difficult to really sort and look through posts in the Soul Eater tag to begin with (case in point, can't jump to past pages, and if someone posts to the tag it sends you back to latest anyway)...

That's what gave me the train of thought earlier about creating a blog specifically to reblog fandom art that could potentially end up lost, both because reblogs will remain even if a post is deleted, and for the sake of having an archive you can easily search through (especially with tags). It'd be a huge project, though, and given the aforementioned lack of easy searching, a lot of it would depend on scouring through blogs for really old fanart or something to that effect...

Though the thought also occurred to me of potentially letting people send in links to the older stuff to help with the archiving effort, haha. I think this is definitely something that would benefit from being a team effort, even if it's something I'd be really passionate about on just my own (how many times am I going to have to relearn the lesson that I'm just one guy, haha).

There's still quite a bit to think through with a project like this; Stuff like would it include archiving newer stuff and not just the stuff lost to the tag system (reblogging with different years in the tags would work either way), would it include anything and everything in regards to original characters and things that simply reference the style (also would benefit with tag organization...), would there be the potential for archiving fanfiction... well that one's a bit of a slippier slope and much harder to go through, haha. Definitely wouldn't want to reblog anything from my art, at least, since there's too much of it and I've already got it filed away over here, haha.

...Haha, I always go just a little bit mad thinking about things like this. Already have so much I want to do, but the idea of there being art out there lost to time gives me that certain sense of nostalgia where I want to do something about it. There's so much art from just this site alone, it's staggering... and honestly so wonderful to think about. Maybe something like this is a bit of a pipe dream, but doesn't mean it's not worth thinking about, haha.

...Yeah, I get kinda sappy thinking about all the creativity of everyone out there, even just for this fandom, haha. Guess I've always just been in an odd spot for having spent most my life loving Soul Eater yet somehow missing everything.

Intro Post!💀🦇🕸🕯

Hey there! Figured I'd finally make one of these in case anyone who stumbles on this blog wonders what it's all about.

As it says in my blog description, this is an online space where I can compile and organize imagery, info, and anything else that inspires me related to the novel I'm developing. At least that was the original motivation for making this, but I'm definitely wanting to post some original content surrounding the story and the characters in it soon! This imaginary world has been obsessing me for a few years now, and I'm honestly chomping at the bit to share it with others.

What you'll see on here:

Images related to: gothic lit, the regency period in Europe/Britain, the late 16th/early 17th century, some earlier 18th century, ancient and prehistoric cultures, paganism, the occult, witchcraft, fairies, folklore, the countryside/forests, autumn, Halloween, demons/devils, romantic fashion, screenshots and gifs from films, illustrations/other artists' art that inspires me, and any other random pic that speaks to me or that gives me an idea even vaguely related to the story.

Text posts relating to: all the same subjects above, plus quotes from poetry and literature, other stories that inspire me, and writing advice posts/memes.

Hopefully soon: posts introducing my characters and sharing concept art, ideas, research I've done, who knows what else??

***Content warning for some imagery that may be disturbing (as can be expected, I guess, from a horror aesthetic/theme).***

What the novel's about:

It's [going to be] a gothic/dark fantasy/folk horror/historical fiction novel set in regency Britain and centering around the concept of Halloween and its origins/meaning. Think Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell meets Over the Garden Wall. Kinda. Characters include a bratty aspiring sorcerer, a demonic changeling who wants to be human, a witch, a sin eater, and a handsome devil. Over the course of the plot the question of whether the spirit realm(s) and mortal world should be kept separate will be a source of conflict.

I've had some aspects of this story/characters in my head since I was 14, so it's super special to me!

About me:

I'm an artist, writer, and musician. This is my first time trying to write anything as involved as a novel. I'm having loads of fun with it, though. I love music and reading and history, particularly fashion history, and anything related to the supernatural. The title of my blog is a reference to a song by Echo & the Bunnymen (though I think it's actually an inaccurate lyric :P ).

Ficton books I've been reading lately: Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell by Susanna Clarke, The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafón, Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles books, Edgar Allan Poe short stories

Nonfiction books I've been reading: The Devil and All His Works by Dennis Wheatley, Celtic Mythology by Philip Freeman, The Making of Victorian Values by Ben Wilson, Occult Features of Anarchism by Erica Lagalisse, Halloween by Lesley Pratt Bannatyne

Some musical artists I'm into recently: Cranes, Kate Bush, The The, The Smiths, Fiona Apple, Alex G, Caroline Polachek, Imogen Heap, Depeche Mode, Fad Gadget, Pinback, Steeleye Span, The Cleaners From Venus, Suzanne Vega, The Garden, Jessica Pratt

Visual Artists I've been thinking about lately: Edward Gorey, Aubrey Beardsley, Nicole Rodrigues, Francisco de Goya, Leonora Carrington, Brian Froud, Wendy Froud, Willam Blake, Edvard Munch, Harry Clarke

Some of my favorite films: The Witch, Valerie and Her Week of Wonders, The Wicker Man (original), Meshes of the Afternoon, Days of Heaven, The Thief and the Cobbler, The Masque of the Red Death

Regardless of why you're here, I sincerely hope you enjoy browsing around, and feel free to say hi! :) I would love to link up with other writers on here and make some new pals. Also feel free to like this post and I'll give you a follow!

WIP INTRO POST

~I love tag games and ask games! I may be slow to respond though. -

[fordtato]

I just finished your video and thank you so much for the speech at the end shining a light on the importance of celebrating and saving small fan projects and fan music in particular within fandoms.

My Gravity Falls fan song compilation was cited in the description of the video and honestly, if I knew then what I know now, so many of those songs in that list could have been saved rather than ending up as dead links.

I'm glad I made that list so that people are at least aware these songs existed but in terms of preserving fan music, there is rarely a concentrated effort to ensure their continued existence.

That is especially fascinating when that overlaps with multi-media fan projects, too. I remember, for instance there being a few mostly forgotten fan songs related to the Beauty and The Beast Gravity Falls AU that got very few notes compared with the art work and fanfiction tied in with the same AU. There are obviously a lot of factors for that (i.e. songs were coming from less well-known blogs, songs that didn't include lyrics for people to follow along, etc...) but I have noticed fan music in general (regardless of the fandom) often gets less attention and thus not as much effort is expanded to preserve those songs.

So thank you, thank you, thank you for this delightful video on this wonderful AU and this nostalgic trip back through the Gravity Falls music scene.

(also: you are 100% right that Pacifica would have absolutely killed it with a Sharpey-esque song number).

First of all, your list was so incredibly helpful in tracking down many of these songs (and even where the links were dead, it gave me leads to finding where they may have been reblogged from, which was still helpful! You'll notice some songs were linked in the description through reblogs on my own blog, because the original links were busted.)

Fan music is something that has always impressed me so much, speaking as someone who doesn't have much musical ability. I've also noticed that they often go forgotten, and I wish it wasn't the case.

I think that it's easy sometimes for artists and writers (of all types) to forget that their art has impact, especially if they don't get big numbers. But for the people who DO see it, it can mean a lot. It becomes their desktop backgrounds, their go-to pick me up song, their favorite chapter in a printed-out binder of fics. Reblogged once, but adored a million times over.

My Foodfight! Collection: Or How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love Foodfight!

So here it is, here's my Foodfight! collection. Since I've been writing this blog for over a year now, I thought it was worth finally showing off all the merchandise I've collected during that time, as well as talking about the relationship I've developed with the movie over the course of my many posts. But first, the collection- from left to right, we have the Cinnamon Sleuth cereal box (yes it's fanmade but I still think it looks cool enough to be included), the Junior Novelization that started it all, a Daredevil Dan plush, a Dex Dogtective plush, a copy of the movie on DVD, the Deluxe Sound Storybook, a Polar Penguin Plush, and 18 inches of Cheazel T. Weasel.

The plush toys are especially interesting- I don't think I've really discussed this before, but they all have a tag on the back stating they're not to be sold at retail... I guess these were only intended for arcades and carnivals as prizes, which is where they ultimately ended up, but I've heard at least one person who worked on the movie claim these were being sold in stores as well. So... chalk that up to another unsolved mystery, even if it's not a particularly interesting one. If I had to guess, the Playmates action figures and more detailed plush toys I talked about a while ago were meant to sold in stores, but the deal fell through and somehow these cheaper Nanco plush toys ended up there instead, on top of arcades and carnivals as originally intended. Maybe Nanco just produced so much stock, anticipating the movie to be a big hit, then when it got delayed time and time again they had to sell them off however they could. I know these Nanco plush toys come in a BUNCH of different sizes- for instance, I have an 18 inch Cheazel, but there are smaller variants that show up on eBay every now and then. Speaking of Cheazel by the way...

About 10 years ago, a small child in Nebraska got stuck in a claw machine trying to win a Cheazel plush, with the incident even making the local news. You can read all about it in the above link- thankfully he was fine and nobody was injured, but it's just crazy to me that something Foodfight!-related was picked up by the news media and that there was a kid out there who wanted a Cheazel plush so bad he was willing to crawl into a machine for it. It's also a testament to how, after the movie came out, these plush toys were EVERYWHERE- there are so many stories of people finding them at local carnivals, and it's why a lot of them are still showing up on eBay to this day. I wonder if the Cheazel plush I have now is the same one this child tried to win many years ago...? Probably not, but it's certainly a possibility.

One more thing about the toys while I'm still on the topic- I know I've mentioned it before, but a bunch of concept art and prototype images for the Playmates plush toys and figures were found among the recently shared files from the Foodfight! tie-in game, and I just thought I'd share them here for anyone who hasn't seen them yet. While I love the idea of Dex Dogtective's Price Gun and the Daredevil Dan Crash N' Spin Plane, I've gotta say.... the plush toys we actually ended up with are WAY cuter. I know they're just prototypes, but look at how bulbous Cheazel's eyeballs are, it's just offputting. Granted, the character is equally if not more offputting in the actual movie, but when you compare it to the Nanco plush...

I mean just look at him, he's adorable!! How could you not like him, how could anybody like him? The tongue sticking out, the dopey expression on his face...he's just a rascal, a scamp, a mischief maker. I think in general the Nanco plush toys are by far the most visually appealing versions of the characters, partly because they're soft and huggable, but also because they all look really friendly and gentle in a way the designs never really did onscreen, even in the early footage.

Anyway, as for the rest of my collection, there's not a whole lot TO say about it that I haven't already said- I've already discussed the novelization and Deluxe Sound Storybook at length, I made the Cinnamon Sleuth box myself, and the only notable thing about the DVD is that one of the Chapter Select options takes you straight to the end credits. And so I instead wanted to take this time to talk about how Foodfight! has affected me over the past year.

When I first found the novelization on eBay, I just KNEW I had to write about it. Nobody else was talking about it, it was the only copy available for purchase anywhere, there was no other mention of it on the entire internet, and it seemed like no-one else even knew it existed. I was inspired by Ryan North's B To The F blog, in which he reviews the similarly obscure Back To The Future novelization, feeling this could be my very own "B To The F" moment. That kind of moment only comes along once in a lifetime, and so even though I was in the middle of an incredibly stressful move at the time, I bit the bullet and started my blog anyway. Ever since then... it's like Foodfight! exploded, all over the internet. A large part of that was of course thanks to Ziggy Cashmere's incredible work on ROTTEN: Behind The Foodfight, but it still made me feel like writing about the novelization opened a Pandora's Box of Foodfight! material across the world, or like I was living through an ARG designed just for me. I made a fangame, interviewed a cast member, I even got a speaking line in the aforementioned ROTTEN, and the more I wrote the more Foodfight! news seemed to come out. Every time I thought we'd found everything there was left to find, something new would come up and I'd be pulled right back into it. And through all that...god help me, I actually started to like Foodfight!.

To be clear, I still think it's a bad movie. As a matter of fact, it's one of the worst movies ever made. BUT...it's the greatest movie STORY ever told. Everything that went on behind the scenes, all the scrapped tie-in products, videogames, crazy anecdotes about the director, it all coalesces into something much greater than itself. In the same way, it felt like writing about Foodfight! allowed me to be a part of something greater than myself too. I got involved with a community of like-minded fans, was lucky enough to able to share previously lost media with the entire world, connected to the internet in a way I hadn't in years, and did something nobody else had done before and will likely never do again. Maybe THAT'S the real Foodfight!...no, I really mean it. When you dedicate enough time and passion towards something forgotten and obscure, it takes you on this special kind of journey that's hard to describe, but you come out the other end with this genuine appreciation for it you couldn't have found anywhere else. Like if you didn't care so much then maybe you would never have got it, but you did and so you you really DO understand. Like at the end of Be Kind Rewind, when Jerry and Mike can't save the video store but it doesn't matter because through making their movies they brought the community together and shared a story in the way only they could. Maybe that's what this was for me, sharing a story in a way only I could. To date, not a single other copy of the novelization has surfaced anywhere... it really does feel like it was my destiny to write about it. Even if I stop updating this blog someday, I'll never forget about everything I went through writing about Foodfight! The Junior Novelization...but for now, here's to another year.

[idiosyncreant]

Hey. I'm Bethany.

I feel like it's crazy that I've had a Tumblr since 2011. I'm both the same and so different. I wanted to reintroduce myself!

And I'd LOVE to have other folks do the same? So I'll structure all nice like a meme/ask game/questionnaire. Mutuals, don't let me embarrass myself!

1: First Post

My first post was on July 30th, 2011. It was a Spy Myung Wol kdrama post featuring Eric Mun. Neither fascination ended well. Somehow negging Lee Min Ho was involved???

2: Why I Joined Tumblr

I started a Wordpress blog about K-drama style, Suit Distraction, and my second post on July 31st was a link to one of those posts. This blog only spanned 2011, but I ran a Tumblr sideblog suitdistracted (now @libraryofstyle ) from about 2011-2015. It was my most successful online venture by far!

Tumblr itself stuck because I have been able to follow my interests more fluidly and stick with my mutuals, some from other platforms of the past.

3: Then vs. Now

In 2011 I was stuck in not-for-me Oklahoma, watching Korean dramas partly as a way to explore more of the world. I was between jobs, (some hours at my brother's then-job) working on my career as a writer with a lot of moral support but little visible success. It had been 4 years since I went to a big-deal writing workshop, and I'd published a few poems but almost by accident.

Now, I live in home-to-me Western Mass., work in a bookstore while still trying to start a writing career, but in the meantime got a degree at a Historically Women's College, and had a lot of eye-openings.

I'm still a follower of Jesus's teachings, but find it really easy to see how little those have to do with the Evangelical Right I was raised in. I thought a lot of this was obvious, but some of the questioners I knew then that have gotten the impression that God is really invested in America as his nation???**

I also have figured out I'm not just a Third-Culture-Kid or Geeky Artist, I am autistic. So. That makes sense.

4: Fandom Drift?

I watched a LOT of dramas in a season of my life when I was working on yarn for an Etsy shop of handspun, and filling my days around writing with house-keeping and projects.

It's not that I don't appreciate dramas but that I kind of caught up to being a discerning viewer around the same time access got a little trickier and my needs for media changed. I stream Critical Role while doing chores, because it's less visual. I don't sit at my spinning wheel for hours the last several years.

But I still thing Healer is the best thing I've ever seen in TV for *me personally*. I still think Gong Yoo is a wicked hottie. And I love that connecting with people about k-drama at a time when it was still a fresh wave in the West meant getting to be part of an upcoming fan culture in a way I hadn't before!

5: Side-blog/Name Confessional

I originated this blog with this username, which is kind of wild to me. I mean, 14 years ago I was 25, and while it feels quite some time ago it also feels like a fresh new handle. I like it, and I have used it to try and reset my LJ and set up a Dreamwidth. (Neither initiative stuck.)

I have, other than "suitdistracted" started 5 sideblogs. I should delete a few. One was from my coaching phase. (I am grateful for everything I got from the coaching training, including the impetus to go to college, but I also have been deconstructing THAT while listening to Maintenance Phase, an excellent podcast).

One was very recent, to anonymously post stuff about losing my parents. I also didn't post a ton there but it was a pressure valve for some hard moments in a weird phase of grief.

The fanfic one and the fiber arts one are pretty openly crossposted, haha. I stopped siloing the fiber arts one for the most part.

6: What's Next?

I wish I had the guts/energy to do something really wild and multimedium after watching Strange Aeons videos about Tumblr performance blogs but I have tried to at least post a bit more about my fandom takes.

I was so anxious early in my social media life that I feel like I have to be super-intentional about curating and this is the easiest place ot resist that. I like that this is accidentally totally not part of the ecosystem of "me as writer" that the other accounts are.

We'll see!

1: First Post

What does your /archive show?

2: Why I Joined Tumblr

How did you end up on here? What were you posting?

3: Then vs. Now

Where were you when you started? And now?

4: Fandom Drift?

Did you have a major fandom starting on Tumblr? Have you had major phases?

5: Side-blog/Name Confessional

Have you started a bunch of sideblogs? What topics did you try to prune from your main? Have you changed your username?

6: What's Next?

Anything you intend to do differently with your blog here, or things you're doing elsewhere?

[cursecrazy-writing]

It's not like this blog has attracted virtually any attention so I don't know what good it is posting here, but I feel a little guilty saying nothing at all when the least I could do is leave a sort-of farewell note explaining why I'm not around.

Uh basically I'm very done with writing. I owe thousands of words to various commissioners, and I still intend to get that work done, but beyond that, I'm not going to waste any more of my time writing stories. The whole endeavor has plainly not been worth it, all the stress of a second job but with a fraction of the pay, so I'm just going to stop.

And really, it hasn't been about the money. I've always undersold myself because I know the true value of writing as a job is worth extremely little, and that most of writing is based on passion. What I've strived for previously was not to make a lot of money or a living off of writing, but to simply put stories out and have them be read. What I desired most was feedback -- not necessarily criticism, but literal feedback, any signal or indication that people are reading my stories, that these stories affect people and that they're happier having read them. But for years none of my stories have been getting noticed, certainly not enough attention to merit months of work or even the amount of effort it takes to upload and advertise a story on social media. You can see how a vast majority of my uploads here on this Tumblr have 0 notes. On Twitter, I was lucky to get two or three likes from some of my regular followers that habitually liked anything I posted. I go to my Patreon stats and see mere double digits of anyone even clicking the damn links. So this main goal of mine, to simply have my stories be enjoyed, is utterly failing.

The reality is that I am not a good writer. If I was a better writer, I'd see more success -- my momentum from Endless would have continued for a little more than just a couple months of attention. Even Endless itself was a strike of luck, because the only reason that story saw so much success is because it got stuck on the first page of giantessworld.net so it got a disproportionate amount of notice. Maybe this wouldn't bug me so much if I didn't see other writers of varying skill levels doing much, much better than me with regards to social media interactions -- blogs that have existed for days get triple digit notes, blurb-sized fetish writing tweets that get shared by dozens of accounts, etc. Clearly there's a right way to do these types of things and I've just been doing them wrong lol.

Not helping whatsoever is how anti-erotica every social media seems to be. And I do mean erotica specifically. Obviously you can find tons of outright porn here on Tumblr or Twitter or basically where the fuck ever. But an account that just posts writing? Weird fucked up niche writing about fetishes? With NO pictures??? The algorithm simply will not allow it. I'm constantly under pressure to have to expand my skillset to include abilities I have not honed, leaving me with the option to either learn how to draw myself (basically taking on a third job so I can practice an art craft i don't even want to be practicing just so my main craft can get non-fucked by an invisible intangible algorithm) or, my favorite, ~hire an artist~ to make images for me so that I can at least pretend it's my writing that people enjoy and not the actual art I had to pay someone to make.

To top it all off, I just don't feel like writing any more. I've been writing giantess stories nonstop for five years and I'm basically done with it. I haven't had any ideas that genuinely interest me, no inspiration to create, everything feels like it's either been done before or it's trying way too hard to be an original concept for a size setting. More than just a case of writers block, I really don't feel joy from writing anything. On a technical level, all I can imagine is the silent criticisms, people cringing at my writing but never explaining why it's bad, because again, none of my stories ever receive any category of feedback, so I'm left wondering completely how people felt any way about a project that took me months to finish. I just have to assume that if no one is saying anything, it must be because there's nothing good to say about it; I see all sorts of dumpy little comments on other people's publications, but I get zero, implying something critically wrong with my art compared to others.

Eventually, the goal is to close the Patreon, the discord, and all other accounts -- probably only once I've caught up on all commission work and can just deactivate peacefully. By then I hope to have at least uploaded or re-uploaded everything I've written onto some place for record purposes, maybe ten years from people will feel like reacting to my writing lol. Until I fully deactivate, expect me to be basically gone, I won't be taking any extra work and won't be checking messages. I hope some of you enjoyed what I made. Thanks for reading.

[toyhousedramas]

Your recent tags reminded me: this is ancient Toyhouse stuff, and I know that you never post these things without proof, but when I went looking for links to the PSAs I found that they've all been scrubbed off of TH; either posted by accounts that have since been closed or deleted (like casin0s original TH account), or posted by accounts I have blocked. To that end, I won't blame you if you decide not to post this, but I wanted to say anyway: Part of what precipitated Casin0s/nicooo stepping away from their Mignyan CS was a scandal involving their (publicly visible in the CS Discord Server, as well as at least one friend group chat on Discord) inappropriately sexual jokes with minors in general, and sexually charged character plotting/RP with a 'friend' who was 13/14 at the time (whose username I know, but will withold for that child's privacy). Casin0s (19/20 at that time) had always been one of those very loud 'PROSHIPPERS DNI, YOU'RE SICK FREAKS AND PEDOS!' types, and having become familiar with the pattern of outspoken antis being exposed for inappropriate behaviour themselves, I wasn't shocked when Casin0s got exposed for 'joking' about inappropriately sexual topics with children, or that there was explicit artwork on the profiles of characters that they RPed with a child. However, what DID shock me was that after the callout and the public 'apology' that they posted before deleting their account (as good an admission of guilt as you can get), they 1: stayed on so many peoples' 'favorite designer' lists, 2: pretty obviously remained personally in-touch with their child 'friend,' and 3: a handful of pretty big name artists in the Dainty, Mignyan, and other communities quietly remained friends with them. After a few months, they made a new account, and have carried on a quiet and unbothered life with tons of fans ever since. Their designs continue to sell within days, for just about any asking price, to users with 'proshippers DNI' in their profile to this day. All this to say: I fully get you, Mod, when you say that you don't want to socialize with antis. I've seen proshippers clearly denounce a member of their community who is exposed for inappropriate behavior, but I never see antis bat an eye when it's one of their own.

This is going to be a serious reply, if you don't care about actual conversation, continue to scroll. Not you anon, anyone looking. I also usually do not partake in full on discussion about this topic, but given some recent events outside this blog, I would like to.

I'm going to post this partially because it isn't a callout on a specific person, merely an example, and partially because I was actually around for that, so for my own sake I can say I know it happened with enough grace to at least be able to respond to it.

I am currently in the midst of watching a group of people on twitter get in more trouble for tracing than for harboring a predator who exchanged kink based writing and voice messages with a child, these same people consistently attack people in the community they're in for partaking in problematic fantasies, one of the people harboring this predator works professionally with very young children. They are now sending inappropriate pictures to the people calling them out, including private pictures involving self harm of the people they are harassing, no one knows how they obtained these images, but it has resulted in two attempted suicides, and still, they continue.

This is not unusual, it feels like it happens every few weeks. I will not explain my personal history on an anonymous drama blog, but I avoid that subset of people because I have regularly had them either defend predators, or tell me that me being anti-censorship in art means I deserve what happened to me. I have had antis send CSEM of my friend -- a fellow victim, clearly -- to them directly in order to taunt them.

Until Antis take initiative in denouncing this behavior in their own community, I will continue to assume they all support this behavior, or partake in it themselves. But thus far I've never seen that happen.

two. most of my responses will be semi-literate to literate. this DOES NOT mean you have to match. i prefer a good rapport with my partners and that can exists with long replies or short ones.

three. my activity will be SPORADIC. like everyone, i have responsibilities in life and on top of that my studies do take a majority of my time. i will still try to stay as active as i can on the blog.

four. there will be NSFW present on the blog. for now, i'm uncertain as to whether it will be a large portion. if you are a minor PLEASE do not interact. there are also heavily dark themes present on this blog. please exercise caution.

five. my portrayals of can range from canon compliant to canon divergent. i am very flexible when it comes to plotting depending on the verse and the idea that is raised. however, my default is ALWAYS canon compliant.

six. personally, i'm okay with shipping but this will mostly lie in the overall chemistry developed overtime. still, I'm up for it since I ADORE shipping in all veins including romantic, toxic, platonic and falsified.

seven. this blog is multimuse, OC, multiship, crossover and AU friendly! i just need a brief idea or a guide towards the plot we might undertake beforehand. basically, hold my hand and guide me.

eight. normal etiquette applies : DNI if you are a MINOR, you are racist, you are homophobic, you factkin - you will be hardblocked on sight

nine. duplicates are absolutely a-okay! i love discussing and reading the numerous headcanons and musings surrounding my menaces. if anyone ever wants to go into depth about any of them, please feel free to message me!

ten. please DO NOT involve me in any drama. i've left fandoms due to incidents in the past and I would appreciate not being a part in any of it again.

eleven. art is not mine - most has been from the respective authors and shows themselves but I will credit any art used in either my pinned or a future carrd.

if anyone ever wants to message me outside of tumblr, please don't hesitate to ask! i frequent discord mostly.

minceraft - Minecraft (yes, the typo is intentional)

I'll update these as much as they pop up but I don't add a lot of fandom tags because I don't reblog many things outside of my main stuff listed above

I tag spoilers for these fandoms for at least a few days, and up to two weeks, after episodes come out. My default tag is [fandom tag] spoilers; for example, "ml spoilers" or "tdp spoilers." I generally don't tag MCYT spoilers.

Content-based tags:

art - art

fic - fanfic

au - AU's

comic - comics (usually minicomics)

gif - GIFs and GIFsets (pronounced with a hard G)

meme - funny stuff that doesn't fit into the above

My stuff tags:

my writing - my writing, usually fanfic

my art - my visual art

sunny builds a website - rambles based on my attempt to build a website and other coding nonsense

Ship tags:

I only maintain tags for absolute favorite ships of mine, and there aren't many. Currently the only 3 I maintain are:

djwifi - Alya Cesaire/Nino Lahiffe

feligami - Felix Fathom/Kagami Tsurugi

dabihawks - Dabi/Hawks

Other tags worth checking out:

<- tags that make sense. to me - when I add a fandom tag to a reblog of a non-fandom post, I use this tag; that way, I can sift through all the random posts I've tagged with funny stuff

laugh rule - laugh rule

all time fav - all time favorites. maintained specifically to brighten my own day when I'm feeling bad, but you can look at it too

I'm sunfoxfic on AO3 too, but you can find links to fics from specific fandoms here:

Miraculous Ladybug

My Hero Academia

Spy x Family (manga)/(anime)

I have more other blogs than I'm willing to admit! Here's a few.

@ml-bot-fics - autogenerated ML fic prompts

@ml-bot-art - autogenerated ML art prompts

@ao3feed-twiyor - Twiyor AO3 feed

@sunnys-spoilers - mostly defunct spoiler blog (not really in use now, but it might be revived for extenuating circumstances later)

@artist-writer-nah - my main blog. Don't follow it. I do not post anything on it.

Askbox always open! Unless it's not. (Which it hasn't been in the past, but maybe it will be in the future.) I make no promises to answer anything. Just because you come into my house doesn't mean you get to leave.

I do have the occasional hornypost and I don't tag them <3 my sexual and gender orientation is for me to know. I'll invite you to find out if all goes well ;) (I am an adult)

In response to your questions about the timelapse videos, here are my two cents. Engagement doesn’t usually give you anything on tumblr other than a bump of serotonin, but it can lead to commissions or sales if you provide an easy link and are chill about it. But people are touchy about the word “engagement.” They want to feel like a community or maybe a cultural salon, rather than part of an extractive media process.

Your most successful process videos are going to show a satisfying finished piece at the end and give people time to look at it and go “wow.” So for most art some editing will be necessary to get there in a short video.

Another thing I should bring up is that the music you used for that sketch video was pretty grating. If you’re going to use music, i’d suggest finding something more relaxing. Just because the video is sped up doesn’t mean the sound has to be frantic.

Your painting process is so interesting, and your art is great! People here love cats with all their hearts and mostly really enjoy art. I wish you all the best!

Hi anon, thank you so much for your input! I really appreciate it, and I'm still getting used to actually getting responses, after trying to get it noticed for 10+ years (this isn't my first tumblr blog).

There's a lot going on with trying to share my art in the current internet ecosystem, probably something a lot of artists are dealing with. I'll try my best to describe what's going on on my end.

I don't like the term engagement either. I am trying to share my art through four main platforms at this time: Instagram, Tiktok, YouTube, and of course our precious hellsite: Tumblr. So my use of the term is more from the vernacular being used on other platforms, with what seems to be a kind of agreed upon use by artists of "this is what we have to deal with, so might as well lean into it." Maybe I'm mis-interpreting that (not surprising).

So far, Instagram is where I get my art noticed the most and has lead to the most sales/commissions/financial support. I think this has to do with the cat community that has formed over there. Tumblr definitely has its cat lovers, but I think a lot of them are over on IG so that they can follow internet cat celebrities and the like (I'm one of them!). So things like engagement and trends will dictate how I share my art with at least algorithm-led platforms. Also all of the cat people and friends I've met at shows regularly have Instagrams, not that that's a reason to be on there.

I agree that I should add time of the video at the end to show the piece to give it time to be seen. This can be easily accomplished if I make sure to take a photo of the art and include it in the video. I haven't had the best record of doing this due to my own ADHD and the pace at which these sketch paintings are being made.

Most of these recent sketch paintings were made back in August during CatCon on the spot! It's a crazy thing to do and I haven't seen anyone else do something quite what I'm doing, which is I guess part of my marketing for conventions and shows. So, sometimes I forget to take a picture at the end, but I'm getting better at including it in my process. And yes I call them sketches because they're fairly quick (I aim for 30 minutes for a 6"x6") and I don't get to add all the details I would like to if time was available. (I'm currently working on a new 3"x3" fully detailed piece of a famous internet cat, I've spent an hour and a half on it, and it's not done yet!)

Part of the timelapse question is not just to see what people prefer to determine how much time I should put into editing, but also how much effort I should put into digital storage. I have a couple different ways of recording footage, and the main way I've been doing so is with my iPhone. And so when I'm at events that I fly to, like CatCon, sometimes I'm having to transfer videos from my phone to an SD card until I can get home and get the footage onto a larger storage device. This can be tricky especially if I don't make sure to clear my phone storage before going to an event (something I'm adding to my list!) However, if I use the timelapse feature already available on the iPhone, then that makes editing and storage even easier for me later. I used this a lot with my Black Cat October series. But this timelapse footage doesn't look as good (maybe) and I don't have the option to do other edits later. Which then comes to the question for myself, am I really going to go back and make another edit for these sketch paintings? Perhaps the answer is timelapses for sketches, and full videos for fully detailed paintings.

And thank you for your input on the music part! The reason for the music in the last video was because of what's trending right now. Sometimes IG will save a copy of the video I posted with whatever music, so I had reused it in today's post. I think I'll make sure to use something more soothing/calming going forward just for tumblr, because you all have a special place in my heart.

Usually I'll open TikTok and do a separate video save to have a hi-res copy with music, but since I had recently created a shop on TT I only have commercially available music. Maybe I should take the shop down anyways, I'm really not sure if it'll help my art get notice or sell more stickers. I'd rather manage sales from my website anyways, but I feel like I should at least give it a try. You're welcome to tell me your thoughts on that!

I could go more into detail about my process for just uploading videos, but I feel like this is already getting TLDR. So feel free to let me know if you want me to ramble some more! I'd love to get input on that, as well as get an idea of what other artists are doing since I have no idea what I'm doing!

Prologue

Greetings, Tumblr. So, let's begin with a short introduction of myself. My name is Noah. I'm a minor, nonbinary, logical, loyal, and passionate person with frequently fluctuating confidence, diagnosed with ADD and potentially OCD. I'm also a self-claimed aspiring author and poet.

Speaking of which, there's this little thing I've been working on since October 2020, which I've lost more than a fraction of my heart and soul squeezing into it for better or worse. So, what's this passion project called? More likely than not, you're not asking, but I'll let you know anyway, hoping you're at least the slightest bit intrigued. My project is my novel, Free Forest Kids.

(Insert drawings: the cover, OG Trio, Crow and Isamu, Elliot and Marley, Nadia, Cassidy)

Without revealing too much off the bat, this story mainly revolves around four kids: Crow, Fox, Star, and Elliot, how they discovered freedom, their meaningful bonds with each other, and how they gradually came to terms with a significant fact of life: You can't run from your problems forever.

Up to this point, Free Forest Kids has gotten little attention besides the encouragement I receive to pursue writing it from my friends and family. However, I hope I can grow at least a larger handful of an audience for the book eventually. However, currently, and I say this with plenty of emphasis, Free Forest Kids is entirely a draft. Why? Well, simply put, I haven't perfected it enough to label it otherwise. Nonetheless, it would mean the world to me to have it proofread and self-published one day. In the meantime, I'll be posting Free Forest Kids updates here every two weeks on Friday at 6:00 PM EST unless interruptions occur, which should come with a warning.

I appreciate you for reading my story more than you know. 💛

Description

|| Rated: Mature audience (14+) ||

|| Disclaimer: Life is wonderful, but not every aspect is beautiful. Although this story isn't entirely grim, it will include sensitive topics essential for the characters' development and story arcs, such as mental and physical abuse, gender dysphoria, sexual assault, abduction, death, and homicide. ||

What transpired when children desired to rid of self-doubt, fears, and problems?

Perhaps they favored to run from over solve them

Break through their suppressive cage, where the vast silhouettes seemed infinite

Where light rarely shone through crevices and would soon after fade

—

Who could blame the young?

Or rather, how could they fault those ones—when bigger hands kept their mouths shut, or when worst came to worst, left them locked up? 

In pitch-black rooms, their minds still sparked like candlelight

Each craving for freedom, grappling for their small embers to ignite

—

A few eventually broke free, "lost" among creatures, plants, and trees

A land untamed, which prospers

This is where they discovered the others

All contrasting, yet longing for that one of the same

Oh, how inherently, at the core, we'll never change

—

There, the fires spread but never scorched

Occasionally wavered, shifted to another torch 

Personalities and vulnerabilities bestowed

Yet such as tall trees and streams that continue to flow, bonds only grew

Some heard faint laughter, but no one truly knew who's

—

Each season passed with greens, oranges, and browns

Each comrade arrived with every new town

Two or three leaves descended, and plenty more drifted, pursuing their journey elsewhere

Some creatures were hunted, although it seemed unfair

A star's light appeared to fade, but it's okay

It's okay 

Inevitably, their glow contributed, guiding the way

—

Ultimately, the trek was as trivial as it was life-changing for several, beyond expectancy and memorable

And no matter how their paths split in the end...

They'll have always been Free Forest friends

—◆ concerning ereri (eren x levi )

Since I've had new mutuals follow me, and discovered my guidelines link on my pinned was broken, I felt the need to make a separate post and clear this out:

In this blog, there will be visuals / depictions / references / headcanons concerning a romantic bond between Levi Ackerman and Eren Yeager.

I'm the sort of writer who wishes to explore emotions through writing. I'm not here to explore any kinks. All ‘ questionable ’ subjects I write are approached with respect towards said subjects and the people I write with.

I ship and write Levi as romantically involved with a canon-divergent Eren Yeager, portrayed by a certain writer. My take on their relationship is developed through the years, based on other sources of media ( not SNK ), and isn't tied to canon anymore, at any degree.

Their relationship is one of my favorites, their bond one of the most DEEP despite the age gap. They give me the feeling of the war veteran (Levi) who has seen the worst of life and believes to have killed anything kind inside him, to fall for a soldier (Eren) who is passionate and loves in a way Levi has forgotten how ( a vibe similar to Achilles x Patroclus ). They are my favorite ship, and honestly I've been lucky enough not only to find great works to inspire me ( Idea/Rin Seina's works ( most wonderful manga I've read, and also most of the art I use in this blog belongs to them ), The Thin Red Line, etc. ) but also a wonderful Eren writer to write them with.

This doesn't mean I will romanticallyship Levi with any Eren Yeager muses, or anyone from the 104th Training Squad ( the opposite, really, the bond I'm interested to explore is mentor / mentee ). Romance is the least of my concerns when it comes to writing Levi. But this post serves as the warning there will be Ereri depictions / headcanons / references from time to time, but always properly tagged. Knowing this is a disturbing ship to many, I thought it was better for me to properly warn everyone.

note: depictions of Eren with short hair ≠ him being a minor. Many people, including myself, see Eren's longer hair as a sign of his turn toward villainy, and not his age.

He knows. He just likes to play the victim for sympathy points.

Lmao “hate blog” - you just cite things appropriately and aren’t assigning any morality judgment unless the serial numbers (usernames) are filed off. Honestly, big appreciation for what you’re doing! The reposting without credit drives me up the wall.

Pfft ‘hate blog’🙄 you’re doing great work op and mr post-thief just doesn’t like getting systematically called out. I on the other hand love this blog - followed! 🫡💕✨

this is amazing. thanks for doing this.

damn LOL i see that page all the time and they repost so much shit....they got me...at least it wasnt my art tho. i appreciate this blog

thanks for letting me know! once again showing why i have to watermark my edits 😮‍💨. as per to the people who do this: please dont or at least ask!! anyway. at least this was a low effort edit ig but 😭

this guy is so shameless. give credit

I love that you're doing this!! I'm always curious about how many of my memes are floating around out there. Thank you!

the lort's work

AGAIN?????

i was about to thank you for letting me know. then i saw the url and after looking at your blog i think the more appropriate thing to say would be thank you for your service 🫡 doing god's work over here ^^^ btw i haven't used facebook in years does the send a gift mean people can send them money? for my stolen meme? lol 😭

I got you op i posted credit in the comments

i made it. im on facebook now

Wow! I've never been reposted before. That's fun

positronic pimp posting 😭😭

didn't even like the post before screen shotting

Holy shit!! Im famous!!!!

Ya! It's so annoying, he'll post tumblr screen shots then add his OWN handle. Like wtf my guy

If anyone makes these incorrect text post edits there’s a big chance this guy has reposted them with no credit. I have dozens scattered through other posts of his. Which, this guy has subscriptions turned on and makes money off of stealing all our content. His only creative effort is sometimes putting his watermark over screenshots of our work. He claims he can’t do link-backs because it’ll affect his “reach”. I know in this day and age it’s expected to have posts copied and put elsewhere, but there’s a big difference between inevitable leaking vs. active pillaging.

oh my god

Scared to check the comments under this one LOL. I follow them on my personal fb idk how I missed this. thank you so much for catching this. update I checked them and ppl miss the joke every time

I'm finally making the big leagues

Omg Ive been on tumblr for over 10 years and this is my first stolen post! (That I now of at least.) thanks for your service. (note that i personally don't care that much if my (non-art) stuff is reposted as long as you leave in my url, but i appreciate being asked at least. though im less ok with ppl making money off of reposting) also kind of a weird thing to repost given that this is literally just me writing my opinion about a character and not a meme or something. like idk this post isn't funny nor is it particularly insightful

jeez I wish this person would stop reposting my stuff i literally have no reposting in my blog bio 😭😭😭

like i wouldn't mind as much if they had asked me before doing it and at least they do credit/have my username but i'd just prefer them not to :')

OP here, I don't really care if people repost without credit to other websites. I literally quarter-assed this meme on my phone. Go nuts.

Your blog actually motivated me to make a new, more obvious watermark to slap on all my stuff

I know! I literally follow him and commented that it was mine. He's pretty good at crediting art, but not edits. I would have fought it more if it wasn't 90% just a screen shot. i'm not super bothered by it. he has been water marking tumblr screen shots which i think is super weird and adding like overlays to make it more his. its odd

stolentrekblr continuing to do the prophets work 🫡✨

cool i guess? At least it's a screenshot that includes my username. But idrk if there's an audience for this on Facebook

Huh I wonder why they do that. Thanks for letting me know

Don't worry I'm just glad people enjoy it

WHAT DO YOU MEAN REPOSTED TO FACEBOOK 😭😭😭😭

they didnt even gaf enough to followme what da hell

MOM I MADE IT. thanks for the heads up also

I'm honored

reblogging for awareness. this fb group is reposting content without credit

Lieutenant Commander positronic whatever posting i hate you i hate you i hate you

wtf

OH GREATTTTT thank you stolen trekblr i owe you my life. MAN this one isn't even that old those reposters work FAST

:sob: NOOOOOO but that completely tracks I do what I can to point out edits/memes that have been reposted on this site when I know the op, but facebook is a whole different hellhole. thank you for your service

LOL finally reached tumblr status of having one of my posts stolen

im a popular girl 👧 💅 where is my paid commission for posting

as usual fuck this one facebook rate. salute stolentrekblr for their excellent work, but most importantly credit to op for making me nearly snort tea through my nose laughing

Oh, lovely. 🙄 At least my signature’s still on them. not that it'll tell anyone where to find me. i should probably start watermarking these. thanks for the heads up. i don't have facebook so i wouldn't have nown. looking at the dates and now this bugs me even more. this drawing set has more notes than all except the basics one. i always knew this could happen. it just bugs me because this is one i'm super proud of. i'm GLAD more people are seeing it, but i wish i KNEW they were seeing it

The FB page Lieutenant Commander Data Positronic Pimp Posting is making money by reposting content and artwork. Even when they give credit to the original artist, the cash earned is never seen by the artist. This drives me insane. Someone is capitalizing on the creativity o others. Imagine going into a museum and taking pictures of art so you can sell them as prints. now imagine taking pictures of fine art and putting your shitty watermark on it

this art is stunning! reposting guy not so much

HUH??????

Thank you for letting me know. They added credit but never asked my permission to share it so I feel a bit disheartened about it now

thank you for your efforts

thank you for the heads up, I've reached out and told them to take it down! Thank you for performing such a great service for us creative folks. stolen art. god Facebook really sucks doesn't it.

 HUH??????? thanks for letting me know i guess lol this is so funny FACEBOOK?? of all places?? ive been reposted to instagram before although not for a while but damn... facebook... & it's my wuark post too. just a lot going on here

wow at least they have my username there but still what the fuck lol

WHAT THE

no way

Huh. I think this is the first post I've ever had stolen. Could've been worse but i don't now how to feel about it. should i be upset or honored

This is it. This is how I go viral.

I appreciate that you seem to at least have gotten them to start citing sources

oh my god I've had a tumblr post break containment. this has never happened before. this is an odd feeling

While I'm not usually bothered by the reposts, this one irked me cause they slapped their watermark right next to mine

look ma

Woah I'm honestly honoured hehe

ITS ALWAYS THE SAME FUCKIGN GUY

look ma i'm on tv. funny thing is that screenshot in the back was in fact the episode that inspired this post

omg this is such a milestone for me 😭 baby's first art theft. i feel like i've finally made it. at least they gave a half-assed credit so i  don't really care. but like. facebook???? is there really a thriving community of star trek fanart appreciators on facebook???? anyway lmao thanks for the heads up i am weirdly amused by this and wouldn't have ever known otherwise

oh my fucking god. thats how you know youve made it

i feel so honored

2 FOR 2 BABEEEEEY

Well, I appreciate what you're doing anyway

Hmmm idk how I feel about this... They did cred me so I don't really mind. Wish they asked tho :/ thanks for the heads up

At this point I'm worried about my addition to this about secretarial workers is gonna become sited in documents. When my source was "that book with the red cover about star trek fandom that I read 9 years ago" I mean plenty of others have confirmed my information and so on, but please do not quote me on this go find first hand sources

MOM I'M FAMOUS!! wow i feel like a Tumblr Blogger

slay i guess i hope the facekbook fujoshis fuck with me

I like how he says he won’t credit any type of text post edit because they are low effort… which is rich coming from the guy who screenshots other people’s posts for a living.

WHAT?? HUH?? NO. NO. BAD. AH. THE NOISE I MADE. SCREAMING IN A BAD WAY. (Thank you for reblogging this with that but holy fucking shit I'm going to go hide in the corner for a month)

look ma i made it!!! very real chance my family will encounter this post now. how do i feel about that.

I’m grateful he took it down but posting art without permission, even when credited, is really not okay. If I wanted my work posted on other sites, I would do it.

I feel like that Data account is putting in more sourcing because they got caught. But they’re still taking other people’s work without permission and expecting payment. It’s as if I offered someone a bag of chips, had a link for them to pay me, and I said, “Oh, by the way, I stole these chips from the grocery store and you should consider paying me for my service OF THEFT.”

YOU ARE DOING A HERO’S WORK OMG 😭 I HAD NO IDEA PEOPLE WERE REPOSTING MY ART

having your tumblr post reposted somewhere is the greatest compliment and also terrifying thank you for saddling me with this knowledge.

... wow that was fast. i hope they at leasted used my image description

thank you for the heads up!!

man come on

OH MY GOD

oh wow great account

i know they probably just edited the "follow" symbol out so it wouldn't clutter up the image but the implication that this was a follower? i'm weaping. why the fuck are you still on facebook in the first place. babygirl this isn't you

that's so terrifying

goddamn they just post any old scrap they can find huh

Saw and credited myself. 😆

IM POPULAR ENOUGH FOR THIS???? data would NEVER honestly what pisses me off the most is that i make sure to tag every book i post from so no one has to wonder where tf its from, and the theft didnt so now there's FB commends asking where its from. defeats the point!!!!

oh my god, this is an honor

thank you again for letting me now my work was posted on FB without permission! I ended up messaging the Data-person directly and they took it down- And ig blocked me right after lmfaooooo. What an unhinged weirdo 🙄

If they weren't on Meta & didn't have a weird monetization scheme, I'd have been happy to allow reposting with permission

that Data poster on FB is so classless omggggggggggg

Of all the posts they chose this one. I am confusion

they put me on facebook....

THAT'S THREE FOR THREE BABEY. i wanted  to make a madden giferator but it would not load for the life of me, but this is still epic

OH MY FUCKING GOD. I made it!!! but at what cost

Oh No. lol off the cuff things i say ending up elsewhere with my url and everything lol. okay then. thanks for letting me know!

oh damn! i'm famous!

not the first time this has happened to me 🤷 oh well. at least it's just dumb trek shitposts and not like. art i put work into. im just glad people are enjoying my dumb stuff. i feel much worse for the people whose art and writing is getting stolen and reposted

DAMN they are FAST... tbh I am almost honored to have my stupid meme stolen to a facebook repost page

i hope he learns! all it would take is a quick message/comment asking if he could share it

thanks for reblogging 🙏😞at least this means people think I’m funny?? 😂

omg i'm honored to be featured on stolentrek. a curse and a blessing both

hm

I really feel uncomfortable knowing they profit off the community

I think we should kill this guy. just an idea

it's highkey so embarrassing that they brag about something like this 💀

Trekblr Community Reaction

I have wanted to compile reactions from the community for a while now, and today I finally made it happen. I have not editorialized anything, doing my best to copy reactions as written. Without further ado:

i love accs like this and the people behind them. the dedication to search for stuff like this and bring it home. sounds absolutely maddening and i salute them. to sift through garbage theft accs… doing the lords work

idk if i should feel honored or not, at least my username is there lol. this is very funny to me. like i dont even use facebook anymore

Omg they erased the last sentence. Lmao. I mean if you’re gonna steal my posts at least include the entire thing. It’s literally the least you could do

chat should we kill them?

OMGOD IVE MADE IT!!! this is crazy because i feel like my dad might actually see my star trek posts LMFAO. he's always on there. this is a big moment

I don't have a problem with reposts of my stuff if the watermark/username is included, but I appreciate the spirit of what you're doing

Nice sentiment but i really don't want people on facebook to have a link to my tumblr blog. thank god it's uncredited... been around a while my posts are always being stolen

The person Im thinking of flat out took OC memes from me and passed off my captions as his own. He gave me credit once from what I've seen and then the other times it looks like he made it up himself. I'm all for tossing memes out there and letting them be wild and free, but this guy twists it and uses it to beg for money on his page. He's got the lobes.

Why did they censor my pfp but not my username WHAT

damn. ig im famous now. better start lining up for autographs

People are posting me to Facebook???????

Damn... I'm not even mad about this tbh... someone thought my stupid post was good enough to steal and put on a facebook group 🤣🤣

disgusting

?!?!??!??!??!??!?!!!??!?

You know what I'm ok with Facebook enjoying this one I appreciate it being edited over them

This has never happened to me before

I honestly don’t mind seeing screen shots of my posts showing up elsewhere, it’s inevitable, but the nature of a screenshot shows the source of the post as well as the OP. But this crap is blatant plagiarism. Obviously this person is on tumblr, so I hope they see this. Please do better and have a smidgeon of integrity. Just give credit? It’s really not difficult? Thanks @stolentrekblr for the effort here.

Yooooo this is wild! Glad people like it I guess

This one ALMOST gives credit. But not quite. Could’ve just typed my handle in the post 🤷‍♀️ super easy, barely an inconvenience.

Come on... Just type "credit: *tumblr handle of the OP*" It's so easy not to be a spineless thief.

The watermark 🙄🙄

keep doing your thing op. you're like an archeologist but instead of screaming about how it belongs in a museum you are adamantly making sure people know where these things came from. i can't even fucking imagine the searching you have to do to find these posts. earlier today i couldn't find a post i had seen yesterday. keep it up!

I tracked down a post of mine that you found reposted on the data FB page, and left them a comment. "Hey look, its my post! didn't even crop out my tumblr url lmao. it was much more popular on my blog tho (1,817. notes)" They did not respond. 😒 It only got 344 reactions and 6 comments on the data page though... that page has like 38k followers... at least my posts do well when I post them myself on the Star Trek Shitposting page 🤣

I've made it. I have arrived. I got my 5 second shitpost lifted and put on another social media site, complete with a hazy photo overlay. I have won at Tumblr. I can rest now. I can rest.

Ohh yeah, this guy's a real loser. It's the WATERMARK for me 🙄

The HUBRIS!

ahh wow Ive never had a post escape containment before!! did they at least link back?

I am touched ^-^

plagiarism is the real problem. it gets worse when you see someone profit off the passions of other people in a fandom

well damn. and i'm here looking for employment...

sad to see someone else repost on fb and even watermark it. seriously what is up with the watermark over a screenshot of a tumblr post

Yeah. I think you're doing good work. I think exploitation is so baked into society that some people don't even realize when they are using the free labor of others for their own gain.

Managed to add a couple links on my desc to my art blog and my linktree if any mutuals were curious about any of the other socials I use!

— concerning ereri ( eren x levi )

Since I've had new mutuals follow me, and discovered my guidelines link on my pinned was broken, I felt the need to make a separate post and clear this out:

In this blog, there will be visuals / depictions / references / headcanons concerning a romantic bond between Levi Ackerman and Eren Yeager.

I'm the sort of writer who wishes to explore emotions through writing. I'm not here to explore any kinks. All ‘ questionable ’ subjects I write are approached with respect towards said subjects and the people I write with.

I ship and write Levi as romantically involved with a canon-divergent Eren Yeager, portrayed by a certain writer. My take on their relationship is developed through the years, based on other sources of media ( not SNK ), and isn't tied to canon anymore, at any degree.

Their relationship is one of my favorites, their bond one of the most DEEP despite the age gap. They give me the feeling of the war veteran (Levi) who has seen the worst of life and believes to have killed anything kind inside him, to fall for a soldier (Eren) who is passionate and loves in a way Levi has forgotten how ( a vibe similar to Achilles x Patroclus ). They are my favorite ship, and honestly I've been lucky enough not only to find great works to inspire me ( Idea/Rin Seina's works ( most wonderful manga I've read, and also most of the art I use in this blog belongs to them ), The Thin Red Line, etc. ) but also a wonderful Eren writer to write them with.

This doesn't mean I will romanticallyship Levi with any Eren Yeager muses, or anyone from the 104th Training Squad ( the opposite, really, the bond I'm interested to explore is mentor / mentee ). Romance is the least of my concerns when it comes to writing Levi. But this post serves as the warning there will be Ereri depictions / headcanons / references from time to time, but always properly tagged. Knowing this is a disturbing ship to many, I thought it was better for me to properly warn everyone.

note: depictions of Eren with short hair ≠ him being a minor. Many people, including myself, see Eren's longer hair as a sign of his turn toward villainy, and not his age.
