#i have a bluesky also but i really dont want to use it i do not want twitter 2.0 it is not imo conducive to creating community fanspaces

[mythalism]

There’s a theory going around (what with DATV shut out of the game awards) that the writing sucks so hard because EA or BioWare forced an AI rewrite after firing a chunk of the writing staff. I won’t say I fully beleive it, but I will admit that quite a lot of the dialogue in Veilguard feels…off. It’s hard to really describe.

I know EA had mentioned wanting to use AI writing in their games, but I figured that meant future games. Any thoughts on this?

this is devastating to me but i hate to say... i can see it. and feel it, more importantly, which i think is the key with AI. a few things that make this seem plausible to me are that bluesky post from epler that has since been deleted talking about how he agreed with the biggest criticism of veilguard (without specifying what he was referencing) was something he agreed with, and trick and another dev chimed in and added that not only did they all agree, but they tried to fight it and lost. we are never going to know exactly what this was referencing, but i think it does allow us to infer that there was a significant amount of friction between EA and bioware. the kotaku article on vg's development from 2019 also has a rather telling couple of lines: "I kept hearing one interesting sentiment from current and former BioWare staff: They felt like the weirdos in EA’s portfolio, the guys and gals who made nerdy role-playing games as opposed to explosive shooters and big sports franchises. BioWare games never sold quite as well as the FIFAs and Battlefields of the world, so it never felt like they could get quite as many resources as their colleagues at other studios. High-ranking BioWare staff openly wondered: Did EA’s executives really care about narrative? Did they really care about RPGs? Those questions have always lingered, and still do today." so... yeah. that feels relevant to me with this.

the second is the datamined dialogue people have been finding that reveal what is frankly a far better written game and more in-depth dialogue. some of it is still cheesy and marvel-esque, but theres so much MORE of it that shows a much more coherent vision for the plot that for some reason is just.... gone? and i have no clue why. idk if we will ever know this for sure, and it is genuinely difficult to pick out AI from any other kind of profit-focused corporate writing other than just.... intuition. you can often feel the lack of humanity within it. and considering we know what bioware writing feels like and its the reason so many of us are here on this website yapping about their stories and characters... and how veilguard feels like something is just missing... yeah. i dont think its outside of the realm of possibility

[sjokofelix]

man idk why people think tumblr is really gonna shut down now. yes tumblr is a hellsite and it sucks, there are threats like this every 5 months.

regardless though, if tumblr does in fact, shut down. you can find me on (I kid you not) pinterest. <- link to my page

[xiiistruggle]

god are we really doing this. you can find me on cohost or pillowfort if this site implodes, i guess

[conundrumoftime]

Is there any space that's safe to enjoy my ships anymore? I feel like this place has become quite hostile recently due to misunderstandings.. I and a couple of my friends are looking to move to other sites but the format of blusky is unfamiliar and intimidating. I'm not used to non blog sites tbh. Most of us like other ships besides the 'problematic' one but ships shouldn't be used to ridicule or attack others. It's making the entire fandom on tumblr look like an unwelcome space for new fans. All because someone took one terrible unhinged person and made it to be about ships. Is there a discord too? I'll come off anon if needed. I'm just so tired to feeling like I have a target on me at all times just for what I like. Some ppl just dont want to SALS on here it seems.

I don't know what's happening/has happened with Tumblr and I'm not on here often enough to speculate, but yeah, the TROP part of this place feels very hostile and weird at the moment. (And I haven't seen much about the stalker specifically here but I know of that stalker/other bad fandom behaviour around the actors & their families and have seen it discussed this week on Twitter, so I will say this: in my view, making behaviour like the stalking weirdness into something about ships and why Those Shippers (whoever the assigned 'Those Shippers' are this week) are Bad trivialises the actual harm done to actual people, and therefore I don't think is ever a good road to go down.)

As for where's better: I don't know, alas. Bluesky is still so new it's hard to see how the culture will shake out, and it's not really doing the same thing as Tumblr anyway. Twitter is toxic, Reddit is weird, DreamWidth is really really quiet. of There are Discords but most of them are either ship-specific or tiny little groups of friends, but I think there is at least one general TROP one that's good that I've seen mentioned/promoted on here before, and at least one Haladriel one I saw last week in the tags here that said it was multishipper-friendly.

But! It's also my view that most people in fandom (here & elsewhere) aren't here to yell and shout and spend all their time fighting ship wars and don't see fandom as something you can Win - it's just that the few who do seem to think like that are always the loudest. It's hard not to let it get to you, but I do not intend to let the people with that attitude ruin my fandom experience. so whatever happens with Bluesky or other platforms, and whatever someone's elf-related grudge on here might be, I'm going to keep talking about the stuff I like and writing about the stuff I like anyway.

[fedoraspooky]

In light of tumblr shooting itself in the foot, I've been thinking about what I should do with my art from now on. Obviously, deleting my old posts off here isn't gonna do shit, it's essentially locking my door after my house got emptied out by burglars. Especially with my old rp account I no longer can log into, they're just gonna steal and sell my old art that I posted there and I can't even flip a questionably-affective toggle about it.

Thing is, I dunno how many people are gonna actually leave. I'm not even sure I will, since I have a lot of friends here... And after so many shitty updates a lot of people are just hanging on out of spite at this point.

That said, I'm considering that for art posts and stuff, maybe I'll post them elsewhere and just link to them here so they're not on tumblr's servers? Idk... Tumblr tends to kill the visibility of links but I'm not really sure what else I can do.

Also, there's the question of where to actually post new stuff. Bluesky seems the most active but I dont know if old posts cut off after a certain amount of posts like twitter does, in which case that would not be a good archive in the long run. xnx

Cohost is functionally pretty close to tumblr, but ngl it seems super isolated on there bc of its commitment to not showing any likes on your posts. I get that its to combat the social media numbers game, but the downside is that it looks like nobody's even seen your work. If people like something of yours there's no way outside of notifs to see it, so scrolling down on your page and seeing only zeros after zeros of comments on stuff (comments are the only visible number), it's easy to feel like you're just posting into a void.

Pillowfort is pretty good, and they just added tag blocking and the ability to queue/schedule posts. Still kinda quiet and invite only, but if you sign up for the invite queue you can get one pretty fast. Also i probaby have a ton of invites sitting around if anyone wants one. I wish it had an app, but mobile web version works well enough I guess, and I'm already used to doing that with sheezy and newgrounds, so I just have those open in mobile tabs together.

Speaking of, Newgrounds has been pretty good, but due to the nature of the portal system and stuff you're more encouraged to post only your better-looking stuff there. You CAN post doodles if you want, but only outside of the portal, which limits their visibility. Kinda like dA's scraps system I guess.

Sheezy looks super promising customization-wise so I'm thinking of posting there more when it opens up to more peeps.

Toyhouse also looks really good for OC and story things too, and also has a good degree of customization.

There's probs options I haven't even thought about, but its good to know there ARE options. I may post in several of those places for now and see how it goes. Test the waters a bit.

If you're thinking of moving your art elsewhere lemme know where, I'm curious to see where people are going :o

Especially you moots, i need to refind my pals in these other places!

Whats the appeal of blue sky. I’ve never heard of it before. Is the community better or is about privacy or what?

its more for people looking for a replacement for twitter, since now that place is overrun with AI and bots and trolls and right wingers and misery and now they changed how the block feature worked, and EVERYONE hated that

if you ask me, i dont really understand why people dont just come back to tumblr. it has everything art communities keep asking for: the ability to edit posts, highly craftable blogs and posts for presentation purposes, a huge character limit, a robust tagging system that you can use for either sorting your own work on your blog or to get more eyes on it in tags, or to better hide things you dont like. its great.

but idk. the porn rules still really turn a lot of people off, even though naughty work is allowed here again so long as its cropped or censored or what have you.

so, Tumblr, I think, is still the best place to be if tumblr is what you want.

Bluesky is the current best "twitter killer" if you're specifically looking to fill that hole. Ive been on it for about a year or so because the furry community claimed it first, but every time Musk does something fucking moronic, more people go "hey wait, this place IS pretty neat" and join the party.

i dont fully agree with how blocking works there either, but so far I havent had a problem... (you can find out who is blocking you, which makes me uneasy. I like to have a little privacy, not everything I do online needs to be on display on my profiles. I personally dont even like when my 'likes' are public, another win for tumblr. but you cant win them all. unless you're on tumblr and dont mind not posting porn, then tumblr has it all. but I DIGRESS......)

but on Bluesky, you can: use tags in a similar way as you do on tumblr, to organize your own work or use it for discoverability. you can have slightly more control over the interactivity of your post (same as here, where you can limit comments. You can disable quote posting, but you cant stop people from "retweeting" though, which is a shame. I enjoy being able to nuke the ability to reblog my more intimately personal posts on tumblr, but its something.)

And, kind of like custom tags, you can create custom "feeds." You can use these feeds to discover other people's work out there, or you can use them for people to sort through your stuff too. I have one for only my art and Werepire AU so far. like this:

And in general, the community SO FAR seems dedicated to keeping the space more positive, since rage bait and contrarianism and infighting runs rampant on twitter. theres a little bit more typing room for nuanced thoughts on bluesky, people are more willing to have mature discussions, at least from what I can tell in the circles im in. you're less at risk for aggressive randos to show up in your space because its not algorithm based, its based solely on who you follow (yayyyy!!) or the feeds you subscribe to.

Also just the fact that most people on the platform right now are just excited they can share art and say things without 200 bots swarming to their posts, or the twitter algorithm stomping their work into the dirt because they posted a link, had too long of a caption, had too many hashtags, too LITTLE hashtags, said unknown tweet-suppressing words, or it was in a thread, or NOT in a thread, etc etc etc etc etc

and theres porn. of course.

So i get people who want watcher to speak out about the genocide that is happening right now, im sure you are all have good intention and im not going to change your mind on that. Its good if more people talk about it. But im not in the side of nonactivist speaking about something like this and i understand if they dont speak more about this. Theres a couple of reasons more than this, but this is the big reason.

1 ) this doesnt happen in their country, it happenned with Israel and Palestine, while yes American is definitely supporting the military of Israel, we need to understand this isnt like BLM and Stop Asian Hate, that they talk about before, this doesnt happen in their country.

2 ) Activism isnt just online, im pretty sure they are talking about what happenned in Gaza with their friends and im pretty sure they are definitely not in the side of genocide from the track records on how they support BLM and their support Stop Asian Hate.

3 ) as someone who is raised with an Islam religion, while genocide is not a complicated subject to talk about. What happenned with Israel and Palestine is. I have heard so much " do you condemn hamas thought ? " and i know alot of jewish people who are simply just living their life keep getting asked "Do you condem Bibi Netanyahu for his action on genocide? " Its so ridicilous the ammount of time people see this as the holy war between Jewish and Muslim instead of an actual humanity issues that is happening right now.

Now i understand how this could definitely make people angry, and you dont have to agree with me. This is simply a personal opinion, because i get it honestly i have been so harassed by alot of stranger recently ever since this genocide that i just stopped talking about it online and have a nuance conversation over people i can see in real life.

Sam Young have shared instagram stories about Palestine, and Tammy Cho, Steven wife, also share instagram story about the genocide and have been doing it for quiet sometimes ( i need to put this here, but this is definitely because Tammy Cho is an activist first and foremost ) and im sure they will not be friends or work with people who deny genocide. If you want to have quiet a relief.

Now on to the reason i speak here now,

To see Sara Rubin getting called a Zionist despite her not saying if she is or not, is absolutely antisemitistic and it pissed me the fuck off. For the bluesky post she made about "Just feel like we need to normalize not speaking about things you dont know about." Could genuinely be fucking about anything. ESPECIALLY, because she is jewish.

None of you will understand truly what its like being called zionist as a jewish person who never shared if she is a zionist or not, none of you will understand when a right-wing politician, that is antisemitistic from the beginning, that genuinely most of you keep retweeting about, suddenly use the word zionist on their post and suddenly alot of you all keep retweeting their postmbecause you didnt realize when they say zionist they mean jewish people. Like she literally could genuinely mean the antisemitism she faced and the ammount of misinformation that is filled with antisemitistic rhetoric. Its too vague of a post for you all to assume if she is a zionist or not from that.

Anyway my last note for this post, please in all genuine have kindness for the muslim people and jewish people who is struggling right now because of the genocide, the ammount of hate crime they have to face everyday. Please for the love of Allah, i want you all to do just a really quick check if you share information, you reblog from or retweet from, is it from someone who is antisemitistic or someone who is islamophobic? Just genuinely do a quick check, and if you already understands what considered dog whistles, it might be easy for you to figure out where the person stands. And despite alot of post of " zionism does not equal antisemitism " you are all making. There is ALOT of people who equals zionism as antisemitism. Just, listen to Muslim and Jewish people around you if you post something wrong. That is all. And btw i bet alot of you doesnt know what zionism actually is if you accuse sara rubin of being one, because the word "sara is making the watcher boys not say anything about the genocide" sound alot like jewish people control what people are saying, and isnt THAT an antisemitistic rhetoric. Be aware on how you word out your post, just becareful. And truly the last last word, you can support palestine without being antisemitistic, by focusing on how to actually help palestine, talking about what is happening in palestine helps alot but i do recommend this PCRF ( Palestine Childrens Relief Fund ) and Palestine Red Crescent Society helps and provides aids to Gaza people ( idk how to link them but hope you all do a quick search ).

Alright, sorry for the really long post but i hope i get my points across correctly, and i truly just want peace for Muslim and Jewish people.

yeah obviously i can't speak to what they're talking about in their personal lives. i don't think it's about pitting the whole of judaism against the whole of islam for the majority of people. it's about the genocide of palestinians on top of the myriad human rights violations and war crimes imposed on them by israel.

you can absolutely support palestine without being antisemitic and without blaming every jewish person. thank you for providing resources! i'll link them here: pcrf & prcs.

[yourtransfemboy]

I'm so bored, but I dont know what to do.

I'm taking a break from my facebook page and I dont really have anything to post here.

System wise, all things have been rather quiet. It's just been me, Damian, and Aj in front. A few littles has fronted to say hi to our partner but asides that nothing.

Mental health wise, we have been better, but things with bf has gotten better. We still having major doubts with him, but that is normal with me. May break up with him, at least until we both are older.

We are both rather immature, we are young (19 and 21), and both have trauma from abuse. And I know we love each other, but I dont think it's a good time for us. I need a way to heal with out being with someone. I havent been single for more then a week in years. And thay has taken a toll on my mental heath. It also doesn't help that I'm in love with someone else as well. My best friend, I've know him years and we dated for a while. But we broke up cause I turned 18 and they were still 16. I didn't feel comfortable dating a minor, even if I was in love with him.

I have enough truama about being groomed that I didn't want to accidently groom him.

I dont know, I may start using this blog as a diary or something. I need to put my thoughts and facebook is way to cencored for that. Bluesky/Twitter is to shorts for all my thoughts.

I usually don't have big rants like this, but im blaring my music and it's giving me enough quiet to think clearly.

Anyways, that's all for now.

~Grey 【Host】 (He/They) blurry

[raybeetle]

“Just get off *blank* site and move!”

Reddit: Bigoted everywhere except like.. 4 subs. Only 2 of those i feel comfortable enough posting in.

Twitter: Elon. And everyones actually fucking stupid

Tumblr: Theres nothing wrong with this website, its the queerest place on the internet! especially for trans women! Theyre treated so well here! cna you please let me g

Youtube: Actually fine (shorts commenters have to be some of the worst people ive debated with. Why debate with them you ask? Its impossible not to.) but its not really social is it (especially not with those commenters)

Mastodon: Hard to figure out if you arent used to the fediverse stuff. I cant personally figure it out because im fucking stupid

Bluesky: Kinda new, not many people on there so your posts wont get that much traction, and ive seen some mean stuff on there.

Tiktok: Twitter but with more 13 year olds who all have the same exact opinion on everything and also hate trans people depending on what side youre on. Also, brainrot. I feel like I have to control what I look at for too long or ill start seeing it more.

Insta: Ive only heard stories from the loved ones of those brave enough to be kinda weird and a little minority on there. Really scary

Discord: all the servers have their own little cliques already, too hard to get into them. The ones that dont are either dead or too active to really be apart of. Also more ofa messaging app, like telegram

Roblox?: Nothings really fun on there except like bee swarm or whatever nowadays. Paying for cosmetics is considered normal (i donr want to do that). Game devs are fucked regularly.

Snapchat: more of a messaging app I think, not really fun if you don’t know people who want to use it.

Facebook: my mom avoids talking about things because she doesn’t want to see them on facebook too much. Even if her phone is off

Quora: Posts that deserve 294729197 likes! Also I keep getting emails from them. I dont fucking care dude

Pinterest: Ai and stolen art. Fine if I have to look for like some aesthetic images but kinda sucks in the art theft regard. not really social either

4chan: Dude

Any other reddit/twitter alternative: owned by Nazis or dead

[amigarobot]

longpost sorry lol

Still dont like people "jumping ship" from tumblr to cohost bc this is not suppossed to be like tumblr or twitter. Like, im using it as a locked twitter...2! To drop my cold takes on a couple of friends and say whatever without worrying about keyword search engines and talk to people as i would on twitter replies. A journal of sorts that ive chosen to not make private so friends outside of it can see how im doing.

Ive seen a couple of popular tumblr posters come here n be naturally disenchanted or uninterested bc of the lack of social features like direct messages, checking "reblogs"or other personal metrics. But to me the lack of those is good and cool bc i have other needs in mind when saying stuff like "wow blorbina and eebydilly should totally have sloppy lesbian sex", without finding BigBoobsEmily saying MY PUSSY IN BIO in my notifications or some rando douchebag QRTing it.

And tbh it is fair to not want to move there! I hate also the assumption that you HAVE to make a bluesky, that you HAVE to be on cohost, that you HAVE to be on x or y hot new place. You don't have to. If you ONLY want to see aesthetic pics or photography, be on pinterest or carefully curate your instagram. Misinformation is at an all time high, so only follow news outlets and journalists that you know arent spreading hate news or worse, hate speech IF you want to use the internet for that (main reason i keep Twitter and Insta besides keeping up with friends).

There's several other options I don't know or care about bc they don't interest me/I wouldn't see the point in being there (mastodon being one of them) so thats how I see it. I don't think tumblr is going away anytime soon, but if it has become unbearable or straight up unsafe, don't force yourself to join other website where you won't find what you are personally looking for.

For ppl concerned about the cohost moderator rumor thats been spread, she has spoken out and clarified the situation: https://cohost.org/kaara/post/4593170-ok-i-really-hate-eng

[jaypea00101010]

Going to clarify a few things because I realise I wasn't 100% clear on everything (thanks to the bluesky character limit mostly)

Artificers I get where you're coming from in terms of it being that they have to be built for certian things, and that the tinkering around with options, I just still think the cast they could do anything is a problem, every other class has an inherrent weakness (Paladins don't have great range, Wizards can't heal, etc). Personally I really do like KibblesTasty's Inventor which gives even more options to tinker around with, but the spell list doesn't have any big damaging spells. If I were to change artificer, I'd probably give a similar weakness and just get rid of the three healing spells they have (and if you want to heal as one, alchemist still gives you cure wounds)

Barbarian does have resistance to the three most common damage types, and again this isn't a problem with the class, it's the fact that in more recent books, WotC has been changing a lot of higher CR monsters so instead of doing B/P/S damage, they do force (Demogorgon's tail attack went from bludgeoning in Tome of Foes to Force in Monsters of the Multiverse, same with the extra damage from Yeenoghu's flail, or the Storm Giant Quintessent's Wind Javelin). I dont' think force resistance should be part of the new level 1 rage, but if they got it at somewhere around levels 9-11 I think it would start being useful for those higher CR creatures that are changing. (also as for spells that deal force, there's really not that many, especially compared to fire, cold, lightning, or a bunch of others, and Bear Totem already resists those at level 3)

Fighter you've made a mistake in how you think the rules work, because how you've read it actually make sense. People usually think that you're not able to cast 2 levelled spells on your turn, which isn't actually how the rules work. If you read them again, you realise that it's stupid, it's not that you can't cast two levelled spells a turn, it's that if you cast a levelled spell as a bonus action, you can't cast a levelled spell on your turn. you can cast an action spell and a reaction spell both on your turn, or two action spells, but not a bonus action spell and an action spell (or a bonus action spell and a reaction spell for that matter). Why is it like this? I think probably just to be as confusing as possible. But yeah, action surge to cast two levelled spells works.

Warlock other classes can get EB without multiclassing, it's not actually EB on it's own that's a problem, it's Agonising Blast in combination with EB scaling on character level. Eldritch Blast is the best damage dealing cantrip in the game not because it deals 1d10 damage, but because with agonising blast it deals 1d20 + charisma damage. Again, on it's own that's not too much of a problem, but might remember what I said earlier about paladin's weakness being that it doesn't have good ranged attacks. Well now for the cost of two levels, paladins can completely ignore that weakness as they can easily dip into warlock and get that 1d10 + cha ranged attack, and because it scales with character level not warlock level, when they hit level 11 of paladin, they're able to do three beams of eldritch blast for such a little cost. Other cantrips can do things EB can't, but EB out damages all of them. I also wouldn't want to make warlocks any worse, making EB a class feature or scaling with warlock level doesn't actually remove any power from it (hell, if it's a class feature that adds power since it can't be counterspelled), but it removes some power from multiclass builds that use EB to shore up their other weaknesses (mainly Paladin/Warlocks)

A single design problem I have for each D&D 5e class

Made this a thread over on bluesky and figured might as well bring it over here. Not really big problems in most cases, but just, small things that I feel WotC should tweak in all current 5e classes.

Artificer: No clear weakness.

A single class that can make great a great support character, DPS character, tank, single target attacker, stealth character, etc

Obviously needs to be built spesifically for each of these, but every other class has at least one thing they can't do.

Barbarian: No force resistance

Slightly cheating because it's not inherently a problem with Barbarian, but recently more monsters have been using Force damage instead of B/P/S, and barbarians should absolutely gain resistance to it while raging at higher levels.

Bard: Full-casting

Bards are designed to be a jack of all trades, it's right there at 2nd level, but they seem to have missed the 'master of none' bit.

Full spellcasting up to 9th level, a pretty solid spell list, and spells they don't have they can take with Magical Secrets anyway, even 9th level ones.

Cleric: Turn Undead

A holdover from older editions, turn undead in my opinion just doesn't make for a good universal option on clerics.

I'd much prefer something like spirit guardians or spiritual weapon be reworked into their universal channel divinity.

Druid: Universal Wildshape

Probably controversial, but I have similar problems with wildshape that I do turn undead, it's good, but a weird universal option.

If I'm a druid getting my powers from stones, plants, or the stars, why can I also turn into a ferret? There should be a few options to pick from instead.

Fighter: Action Surge at Level 2

Action surge is such a good feature, usually it's just some extra attacks, but the fact you have the chioce is great....

That said, I think it coming online so early incentivises unintentionally incentivises multiclassing, casters dipping for 2 spells a turn mostly. They've somewhat fixed it by limiting what actions you can use it for in OneD&D, but I personally just feel it should be later level rather than limiting it.

Monk: Ki Dependancy

This doesnt' need explaining, everything for monks costs ki and it really doesn't need to, they should get resource free disengage and dash, or have ki recover faster.

I had an idea for a ki recharge of 1 min, but less points overall, so you have all points for every fight

Paladin: Oaths at 3rd level

You get your power as a paladin from a sacred oath you swear, so why do you only choose that oath at 3rd level?

That's like a warlock only deciding their patron at 3rd, or a cleric only deciding their god at 3rd (Yes 1D&D does this and I hate it).

Ranger: Spells Known

Why do rangers, the class that's meant to be about being the best prepared for the wilderness and natural areas not have prepared spells?

It just seems so obvious to me, and I've got no idea why it's not done like that already?!

Rogue: Is Pretty Good

If anything I'd say that I'm not a fan of skill floors like reliable talent, and expertise not letting you use it on other tools is a bit strange, maybe the large subclass level gap?

Yeah overall I'm a fan of rogues though, they're just solidly made.

Sorcerer: Spells Known

They tried to fix this in Tasha's with subclass spell lists, and I think that's good idea generally, but letting them swap them for (admittedly limited) options from 3 different spell lists is also weird

Just give them subclass spells they can't swap, or maybe can swap fron one list and you're good.

Warlock: EB is a Cantrip

Eldritch Blast is a good spell. Too good to be honest with multiclassing at least, it's one of the reasons PalLock is such a good combo.

EB should scale with Warlock level so be a feature not a cantrip, or cantrip scaling with warlock level like it was in that One D&D UA that they then reverted.

Wizard: Subclass Theming

Tying wizard subclasses to schools was a bad idea, and what we've gotten outside the PHB seems to be an attempt to go back on that.

It also means they don't have room to explore all of each school, I'd love a teleport or summon focused wizard but school of conjuration smashes them together weirdly

Some useful links: twitter / bluesky / inprnt / ko-fi

Feel free to use anything I’ve made privately as a wallpaper

I don’t do comms anymore!!!

PLEASE CLICK ON READ MORE RE BRUSHES. IVE ANSWERED THE QUESTION MANY TIMES

Currently playing: death stranding (look, I’m repaying a debt 🙄)

Fandom and technical stuff below the cut (art process, AUs, fics, fan events):

Its completely ok to write a fic inspired by something I drew, I'd love to read it please send me a link to it ! All I'll ask is credit for the inspiration (same goes for art inspired by an AU)

Please DO NOT reuse my ideas/designs for ur own purposes, I’ve worked hard on them and I’m quite attached to them

For digital art I mostly use procreate. I USE THE CHISEL FROM HERE THE MOST. i use it in the 'painted' looking doodles, it has no texture. “What is that textured brush”: wedge tail in the vintage tab of Procreate, it’s a default brush. Check the spraypaint tab on procreate if u want a speckled/static brush. For landscapes I use many texture brushes some of which are default and some of which are free from gumroad but I can't remember which packs they are. U can find something similar by searching "flora" or "foliage" on gumroad.

If u are really interested in seeing my process please just look up the tag ‘process’ or 'video' on my account. If that still doesn’t answer ur questions u can send me an inbox message (please be specific with ur questions so i know how to answer, otherwise i'll have to ignore it cuz ive no idea how to answer. sorry!!!)

i do not tag my doodles as 'my art' cuz this account is an art archive. i rarely if ever reblog. if u want to mute asks they are tagged 'ask hedge'. self reposts are tagged 'boop'. look up the main fandom tag (eg. 'loz') and u will find the art related to it

Please dont ask me to join fan events/servers, I’m very happy being on my own away from fandom things

What gaymes do I play besides all the loz: sky: children of the light, splatoon 2-3, nier: replicant, nier: automata, nier: reincarnation, hades (+2), FFVII (remake and og), FFXII, crisis core, okami, acnh, acnl, Pokémon platinum, pokemon sun, mystery dungeon: red rescue team, journey, starfield, horizon: zero dawn, devil may cry 1-5, borderlands 1-2, super smash bros, Kirby and the forgotten land, a buncha other kirbies, rime, transistor, night in the woods, unravel 2, sable, sekiro, elden ring, shadow of the colossus, hauntii, metal gear solid 2/3/5, metal gear rising, shadows of the damned, death stranding

Games I’d recommend: nier replicant/automata, Sekiro, sable, rime, hades, shadow of the colossus

Games I’d rec to a friend who I want to suffer: dmc (entire series), crisis core, nier replicant, metal gear rising, mgsv

(For archive reference) legend of Zelda AUs which I made: decoy AU, calamity AU (sometimes referred to as the ancient AU), sleeping tomb AU, reverse AU, and travelling spirit AU. U can find out about these AUs by looking up the tags with the titles as listed. Some of these have fics:

Decoy AU has a series on ao3 which u can find here.

Calamity AU has a ficlet collection of snippets from the ancient era period of that au which u can find here and there is a very general summary of the whole story which u can read here. U can read the story set in the botw era (the main plot) over here. The ancient era redesigns fall under the calamity AU and that’s where u can find out about them.

The Sleeping Tomb AU (also known as desert AU) does not have a fic and will not have one, its just a concept I'm playing with but u can find a summary of the story here.

The travelling spirit AU does not have a story and it’s mostly a vague concept. Feel free to ask me about the AUs I always love talking about them

Please don’t send me links via asks without any context. I’m too paranoid not to expect a jump scare, sensitive content, or something along those lines.

if ur message is very parasocial or otherwise makes me uncomfortable i will delete it and if u keep up the weird behaviour i will block u

Verzi, here!

Hello all. I am Verzi, aka Verzisphere and owner of Verzisnsfwblog!  I’m a black/filipino trans woman (she/they please) artist. For those new here, I draw male belly kink content, often stuffed, inflated, or having gained weight, and pregnant, though i will generally post all my art here, including non-kink stuff (some boys just be havin tums and look good doin it.)

Anyhoo, due to tumblr’s terms, all my actual NSFW will only be visible on my Google Drive, the major hub for all my art. But there WILL be some +18 themes.

I do NOT humor rhetoric or ideas of Antis or any neo-conservative shit here. And being able to tell fiction from reality is a bit of a pre-req!

Here are other important places to find me and where you can see all my other art!
