First, I wanna say thank you to all the new people who’ve been following me for the past couple of weeks and to everyone who’s been liking, commenting, and reblogging my fics! I appreciate you all so much🩷!!
Second, I’ve been noticing something lately and I wanted to bring it to everyone’s attention.
Lately, I’ve noticed lots of ghost followers/emoji anons and there’s been way fewer people interacting than usual which has been bothering me. When following please be interactive, I’ve been making multiple polls for the past few weeks and all of them have less than 100 votes (some less than 50) and I have tons more followers than that. Also to my emoji anons please be interactive as well, I love talking to each of you and always love receiving your requests.
Regarding requests I haven’t been receiving any and I’ve been making multiple posts asking for requests for different things so I could create more content for you guys to enjoy. When I ask for requests (I’ll use my college!au and hc req posts as an example) I’m usually free of all previous requests and are open to more, I will start working on them as soon as you send them in and post them as soon as possible. Also when there is a character I need more works for or I come up with an idea for a certain scenario I’ll make a req post. What I’m saying is don’t be shy to send in any requests you may have!
Being interactive really helps me stay motivated to put out content for you all because it lets me know you’re engaged and are liking the works I’m putting out. Seeing people be inactive does cause moments of feeling frustrated and discouraged because I’m trying my best to keep this blog up and running and put out entertaining content and by not receiving/seeing any interaction makes me feel like people are disregarding/ignoring my posts.
I have an event that I was planning on posting this week but I’m holding off until I notice more people becoming more interactive because I don’t want to post it and it flops from people aren’t engaging.
I’ve said all of this to say, please be active and not a ghost follower/emoji anon! It really helps me when you're engaging with my posts, etc.
Thank you for taking the time to read🫶🏾!

when you call your reps to ask them to pretty please stop taking away your rights, remember:
In deep red areas you're a republican who is thinking of voting for someone else if they don't vote what you want on this specific bill because it impacts your republican ideals so very much
In swing states you're an undecided voter who's gonna go blue if they don't vote how you like
remember to call because that way their phone is going off and their peers can hear it because their offices are close together (emails and letters don't work like that), so it can rattle them if they get high volumes. remember that you gotta make them feel like they're losing something.

Your personal triggers and squicks do not get to determine what kind of art other people make.
People make shit. It's what we do. We make shit to explore, to inspire, to explain, to understand, but also to cope, to process, to educate, to warn, to go, "hey, wouldn't that be fucked up? Wild, right?"
Yes, sure, there are things that should be handled with care if they are used at all. But plenty more things are subjective. Some things are just not going to be to your tastes. So go find something that is to your tastes and stop worrying so much about what other people are doing and trying to dictate universal moral precepts about art based on your personal triggers and squicks.
I find possession stories super fucking triggering if I encounter them without warning, especially if they function as a sexual abuse metaphor. I'm not over here campaigning for every horror artist to stop writing possession stories because they make me feel shaky and dissociated. I just check Does The Dog Die before watching certain genres, and I have my husband or roommate preview anything I think might upset me so they can give me more detail. And if I genuinely don't think I can't handle it, I don't watch it. It's that simple.

most important jobs according to tumblr:
- artist (People will literally die if they don't look at art, it's a human need on par with food)
- fanfiction author
- etsy seller
- small business owner (they think it means etsy seller)
- janitor but only because they saw a post

compiling a far from comprehensive list of palestinian fundraisers i'm aware of that are far from their goal (less than 25% raised) and/or stagnating. i will try to update this post at least every couple days - please check the op for updates.
if you can donate at least USD $15 (€14, CAD $20, kr160, £12) and dm me proof, i'll offer a colored sketch commission akin to these drawings (more details here). [EDIT: not accepting new donation comms at the moment until i've worked through my backlog; check back in a week or two!]
even if you're not able to donate that much or at all, please share, and follow the links to the fundraisers - there's much more important information for each one than i'm able to quickly compile into one list.
