Give it to someone else if you don't want it. Advertise it to other people if you can't afford it. Show up and talk to artists about their work. But most importantly. Buy art.
#crying screaming wailing in the streets#you HAVE to participate in culture#you HAVE to buy art#decorate your house with one of a kind pieces!#don't buy random regurgitated ai clip art#or a factory made decorative vase#these things are bad! evil!#buy from local artists#buy from online artists#just. buy art. from artists

My hate for tumblr users knows no bounds. Do you know how fucking weird it is to defend being a fan of a guy and his media bc you have depression. When he has a plethora of allegations going back decades. Get a new interest oh my goddd
#I feel like I should specify. I’m mad bc that post was blazed. read the fucking room#you’re not separating art from artist if you’re still legally streaming his shit and buying his books#and talking about his series online!!! and getting them trending!!!#I was a fan of good omens too!! you can check this blog and my old one and see how obsessed I was.#however I care more about victims than consumerism. jfc#good omens#neil gaiman#neil gaimen allegations#gomens#honking

Some losers are clogging the death note tags with AI art. DN fandom… please stop interacting with AI & hyping these people up. We have SO many talented artists constantly contributing to the flow of beautiful fanart free of charge. There is literally no fucking reason to generate DN fanart (unless you get a kick out of destroying the planet).
The person I just saw doing this was also selling prints, it’s literally a grift at the expense of the planet & especially toward people living in areas that the climate catastrophe is affecting the most. Please do not waste your time, attention, or money on AI.
#death note#death note fanart#it’s just wild to me that anyone would even think to do that when the fandom is still WILDLY active#there’s no justification!#also like… if you’re going to buy a print why the fuck wouldn’t you choose to support an actual artist?#spending money on an AI generated fanart is like half a step away from how pointless buying an NFT is. please understand this#sheepishvagabond-shinigamijack and yuzimi-online are doing this shamelessly#salgrart too i think (?) but there is no disclosure anywhere on their blog. It just reeeeaallly looks like it#i was only scrolling the tag for a few minutes and ran into those three so i am sure there are many more. please just block them#that sheep person is using ai to generate L piss kink audios please just fucking kill me#turning water into waste both literally and metaphorically. wonderful

I don’t think randomly dming strangers asking them to commission you is a good idea…
#it’s at least not at all practical because you’re putting people on the spot#and you’re already asking for their money#someone just did that to me like#it’s fine ppl are trying to get paid whatver#but when you do this what do you expect to happen… that the other person will just say ‘sure I’ll buy from you’ out of nowhere???#like just make a post and tag it/ask ppl if they could share it instead#not ‘commission me ^^?’ like it’s a little… lol#it’s nice to be bold and confident though that’s good and there’s nothing wrong with that#I know that it is hard for artists to advertise their work especially if they aren’t popular online#and you have to bank on people actually sharing your shit in the first place#it sucks so bad#deviantart used to be so good when it came to looking for commission work#I haven’t tried to use the forums in years but it still looks to be thriving#outside of the AI shit#in the forums on DA you could advertise your work to potential clients looking for artists to draw their ocs and stuff#they’ll usually send you a note if interested#rambling

The debut album by a band I've been listening to a lot lately just vanished off spotify, and so did their second album EXCEPT for the first track. I would have assumed it was just them starting to take their music off the platform and they just didn't make an announcement or anything (maybe those albums were demonetized with the latest bullshit spotify is pulling) but why is just one track on the second album still up?
#im honestly wondering if I should just dm them on insta and ask...#i'm gonna have to go back to ripping my own music from library CDs or finding them online cause spotify just keeps getting worse#but it's such an overwhelming task cause I listen to thousands and thousands of songs across hundreds of artists#and id love to support my favourite artists by just buying some of my most listened to albums#but that's dozens of albums & CDs are like $20+ now... i can't be dropping hundreds of dollars on CDs I simply don't have the money#im so sick of streaming I miss physical media so bad. and when physical media that wasn't so damn expensive#I have a modest cd collection that I add to from time to time but it's maybe 20 albums? and mainly stuff i listened to in high school#Guess I'll be asking for CDs for Xmas idk#This is gonna be such a massive undertaking to find/download/organize all this music#fuck spotify#august talking

I also want to do this
#my polls#tumblr polls#hyperspecific poll#funny poll#funny#This is probably too specific#My best friends name is Cesar. His parents called him fucking Cesar.#A few years back a firework flew against my should and exploded resulting me in not hearing a lot of things#You can technically buy the book online but it's bad because it was for a competition and I wouldn't do it again#One lady he knows from his cult meetings has studied the bible with the 9/11 attackers#9/11#tw 9/11#I thought it was cool when David Hasselhoff wore a crop top#My father won lady gaga tickets Calvin Harris tickets but didn't go because he had work that day and didn't feel like calling in sick#More artists from our country coupons and such stuff also#For at least $1000 dollars

vent post time
Gentlemen don't talk about money so i guess it's polite to hide this under the cut
of course it's not the artists fault, still it feels so unfair that prints in online shops are always priced according to Western standards, leaving people from poorer countries forever unable to afford them
one of the main reasons why i learned how to draw was the awareness that coming from working class in a developing country i will never be able to afford a commission so i will have to draw everything myself
#i can buy 10 prints from a local artist for the price of one online store print plus delivery#i know this will never change#im usually quiet but today i wanna lament sorry if that makes you sad or something this is my reality#you know i would have plastered my walls with fanart prints if only the world worked a bit different#vent post

it's really funny whenever people talk about the randy shrine girl (aka norah) and think she's like some crazy entity but i've literally had conversations with her and she is, by far, one of the most normal people i've met online
#taffytalks#we had the conversation on PONYTOWN too#but we talked a lot about media we liked and our thoughts on how the internet views fandom and stuff like that#she said she was posted on consumerism cringe on twt but she only buys from etsy/local artists when she can#so really all that money for the shrine goes to artists and not like. matt and trey and whoever else works on south park#you know it is crazy to dedicate an entire room to a south park character but she's still one of the nicest people i've met online#seemingly normal internet denizens have treated me worse so#also she's very nuanced in her interests which i think a lot of people refuse to be#also she's a lesbian which gets overlooked a lot

thoughts on TWS, the new pledis boy group that's debuting in january?
i mean. the only thing i know about them is their name, so i was probably the worst person to ask this to im sorry 😭
#💌 - mailbox.#💝 - nonnie.#svt seem hyped for them and very brotherly already which is very cute#im still very new here in the grand scheme of things so like. I don’t know how this works#but I haven’t seen really anything about them at all so it’s difficult to have an opinion at this stage. ygm?#like. I hope they’re not all still actual children? or at minimum i hope if they are a young young group that they are looked after well#and if their music is good I’m sure I’ll give em a listen! I wish good things for them for sure#it’s just. and this has been the case with me personally for years. I struggle when artists are very very young because all I can ever think#about is like. this young person is surely very talented but they could not buy a glue stick or a pair of scissors#and then I get the yikes thinking about how much pressure they’re facing meanwhile when I was 15/16 I cried if I ripped my tights. yk#and the industry seems very competitive and people online can be brutal over the tiniest little things#I went on a tangent. anyway#sorry this is probably miles away from the answer you wanted nonnie😭 i just don’t know anything 😭🩵

happy sm second quarter profits release day their biggest increase in revenue came from domestic and overseas concerts whereas their profit from (digital) album sales dropped by over 10% since last year now who could have seen that coming
#tvxq specifically mentioned under the concert section too lol i know that’s where sm earned a majority of that money LOLOLLLLLL#also nct dream and reve’s europe tours are mentioned too which means we hopefully get more international tours#from other sm artists#and it is specifically mentioned that the earnings increase came from the possibility to tour again#album sales were better than last quarter bc people bought physical albums at pop up stores etc btw#which basically points towards that online (mass) buying isn’t as sustainable as giving people a general place to buy albums#truly another thing none of us could have ever seen comingggg#al.txt
