Tumblr & Going Forward

With the confirmation of AI deals and allegations of user data already being sold before they could consent to it, I no longer feel comfortable posting artwork on tumblr. This is a decision more on principle than practicality.

I will be leaving everything I've posted here up, unless I decide to delete entirely. Doing so would also be based on principle, as all signs points to there being no point otherwise. Deleted blogs sold to OpenAi. Jesus christ.

As of now, I'm strictly on Discord, but I don't feel comfortable sharing my private discord publicly. I have a business discord, but that is, as it says on the tin, for business. If you're interested in hiring me or having me as a professional contact, feel free to send an ask or IM. Wherever I decide to share my art next, I will post an announcement here.

Until then, I advise everyone to opt out. And maybe research if this counts as a security violation that could be brought to court. I dunno.

EDIT: This is getting a bizarre amount of attention, and starting to get replies suggesting Glaze as a solution. I elaborated on why exactly I no longer feel comfortable posting art here in the replies of this post:

TL;DR - I don't care about the tech. I care about the deceitful way this deal was handled, and how it's the latest in an escalating pattern of deceit and abuse towards tumblr's userbase.

Heya! iI know it was years ago, but I saw the Property of Hate fanart you did of Click and thought that it was really great. Thanks for making it! Have a good day <3

@consistencyofgogurt

hey! oh wow all that art was from like. what. highschool junior year?? like finding a bunch of tully monster fossils at least i'll tell you what. still have a fond spot for it, even though i've improved leagues since then! glad other people do too, this means a lot to get! thank you and i hope you're well :]

i don't have time for personal fanart for the foreseeable future, which is one of a dozen reasons why i don't post very much anymore - but! i've been working on several pretty cool projects, the results of which i'm hoping i can start sharing publicly here soon! and who knows, maybe i'll throw a click in there. i miss him. i need to catch up on tpoh lol

absolutely atrocious late april fools collab incoming. Mark suggestive cw on your post filters now

[zelebirbo]

Hello! Do you mind, if I repost your art with credits?

Thank you for asking, but please do not repost my art! If you want to share my art to other platforms, simply share the links that lead to said art's original posting here on tumblr instead :] thank you!

[zelebirbo]

are you one of the official epithet erased artists?

Nope! I am not employed by Jello at the moment

Hey there, folks! Apologies for the recent lack of content!

Around late January I was brought aboard a couple of exciting projects and they’ve been taking up my time accordingly! While I did wrap up my workload today, I can’t post anything about my contributions quite yet. Be on the look out, though! I’m quite excited for when these projects go public and I can share my art for them proper! It was a delight to work with so many talented, delightful folks and to really push my art skills for them!

For now, though, I need a bit of a break before I can start making art again. I’m a bit tuckered out from all the work I did in the past few months, proud of it though I may be. I don’t want to burn myself out, and there’s some personal stuff I’ve had to put on the back-burner to deliver my project work in a timely and satisfactory manner.

When I DO get back to it though, there’s gonna be a couple changes in content!

Firstly, I’m gonna start posting some more original stuff. While I’m still into the media I’ve drawn for before, I get far more enjoyment out of my original works and haven’t really drawn original art in quite some time!

Secondly, the original art I AM going to post is going to center primarily around horror (specifically surreal/dereality horror). While I will absolutely go out of my way to tag any potential triggers accordingly, if you just can’t stand horror in general to where not even tags will help, now’s probably the time to get off the ride, so to speak. I won’t judge and respect people’s comfort first and foremost.

Thirdly, I’m going to be updating my commission sheet soon! There’s some products that I want to move around, means of contact I want to add, and some new rules I got to implement. I’ll reblog my commission post with those updates when they happen.

Finally, and this is just a reminder - I do not use or even look at my social media accounts outside posting/promoting my content and conducting business with clients. If you need me for something outside work, you GOTTA contact me directly through my e-mail or discord to get me to notice.

That about wraps up my thoughts for now! Thank you for your patience with me! See you soon!

@hajacrmainblog​

gonna let twitter user LobotomyDoctor on the twitter version of me admitting im attached sum up my thoughts on that, chief: 

in other words,

1st time ds was able to use his epithet powers he thought he got cloned by an alien

[zelebirbo]

hi brain am no work good when it comes to properly describing how compliments like this make me feel but heres the closest summary i can manage in image form:

UWAAAAAAAAOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

it means so much 2 me that u’d say this stuff!!! i hope ur feeling a lil better now n dont apologize 4 being ‘emotional’ its ok 2 b sad!!! thank u so much 4 this n im so glad my art could help cheer u up a lil!!! 

specifically, im glad my fanart of 1 of my top fav characters ever was what ur mentioning bc i can use this joke i made once on discord: 

o also be sure 2 thank the epithet erased crew n @/chulacabra (his creator) for gorou as well!!  obv hes not my character, i just love him w my whole ass heart n he makes me happy just by him existing!!

serotonin is stored in the doughnut, folks..... and that’s just facts 

[zelebirbo]

oo hfhfh fcuk..... oh my god..... of gh fhg fdndfk

honestly just hearing that my stuff makes ppl as happy is such a gift by itself 4 me??? i draw all this fanart first n foremost for myself but hearing other ppl feeling equally as enthralled by it just rly makes me life. thank u so much im so fucking honored that my stuff has brought enough joy into ur day that u would want to make ME, the goblin bird, something 

u ofc do not have to make me anything man!! again the fact u’d even OFFER is something i appreciate, and i rly do mean that! but since ur askin and if u RLY RLY wanna do it (or maybe you just need some ideas in general bc ik i cant draw everything that comes to my head for this gang esp when i have other things i gotta do) i’ll give u some prompts - if for like nothing else the just as as thank u for this nice ask 

i’m assuming ur specifically asking abt ee so all my stuff’s gonna be abt ee ok ok here we go

- stuff of howie and percy’s dynamic. i ADORE their canon dynamic so much. idk if i’ve ever seen anything quite like their rivals-who-seem-to-hate-eachother-but-upon-closer-inspection-respect-and-care-for-eachother-despite-how-they-butt-heads before? certainly not executed like theirs. give me EVERYTHING that explores their dynamic. like like. a situation where someone hires them BOTH for an architectural job instead of making them compete and how they handle the opportunity of working together. or like hijinks of percy having to chase a criminal through one of howie’s construction sites. or that kinda thing. listen listen they feel like they have a lot of history to them n i feel the possibilities r ENDLESS and i CARE ABOUT THEM SO MUCH

- would also appreciate content of howie in general PLEASE give him as much love as the main arc trios he is brilliant stupendous hard-working and i WILL bleed for him. jello cannot stop me from taking a bullet for this man

- ‘gio should be molly’s new dad’ ‘indus should be molly’s new dad’ ‘ramsey should be molly’s new dad’ ok but everybody be quiet for two seconds and hear me out: bee dad. bear daughter. howie’s. imo. probably the most capable of the notable guy charas to handle caring for a kid like molly as a parental figure (gio’s a kid himself and they’re more sibs vibes, indus ilu but you really are out here w one braincell, and ramsey looks like he cannot handle kids at ALL even if he tried. also just look at howie treats his ‘worker bees’.that’s dad. that’s DAD) and i feel like he’d have a p cool dynamic w her bc of how hardworking she is despite all the shit she’s been through. just listen. listen. SOMEBODY should capitalize on this concept. also in my humble opinion howie would tear martin to shreds for neglecting his job as both a parent and a toymaker 

- percy and ramsey vs zora stuff. while i respect everyone who likes seeing them as an ot3 i personally prefer their canon dynamic that just boils down to the garfielf ‘time to kick ramsey off the table ‘no zora that’s my pet rat, ramsey’ ‘you’re going into orbit, you stupid rodent’ it’s fun, exciting, intense action stuff that i feel could be explored more, esp since zora got away

- my absolute favorite ee humor is ‘bizarre threatening shit that zora probably did to ramsey in the apparent 2 days she was hunting him down to fuck with his head’. examples include my caramelldansen @ 3am parody, day 23 in the chamber, the kitkat man vine, and this duck toy vid. idk why it’s so fucking funny to me but it is. so ya i’d be down for some of that. just let zora be a weird cowboy cryptid bastard whos favorite pasttime includes rat bullying

- stuff on percy and ramsey’s dynamic 2 actually.... tbh idc if it’s platonic or romantic or whatever i just ADORE how they interact so MUCH and i lOVE THEM. buddy cop stuff buddy cop stuff buddy cop st

- zora just being the feral cryptid bicon she is i love her

uhh thats abt my ‘i care these characters’ dump hdsijkfsldkf!! im rly sleepy bc i just had a hell workshift so a lot of this might sound like complete babbling and i apologize

hope u enjoy it again thank u SO Much for liking my stuff that is genuinely is all i can ask for all the rest of this is is Bonus Deal stuff to express my gratitude for u even offering + wanting to encourage ur fanfic passion bc i love supporting the other creators around me however i am able
