#my statement

[pja-party]

In every art post, I consistently emphasize not to repost, trace, or copy my artwork.

Art thieves who engage in such actions are willfully disregarding the warning.

I maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward them, regardless of their age.

Wrong actions are wrong, and if I excuse them, as doing so could encourage more art theft.

I am committed to protecting my work and will take any action if necessary.

Such as legal action , call out posts/video, blacklist etc.

they should invent a new type of "staying in bed for 2-3 hours after you wake up repeatedly opening and closing apps on your phone" where it makes you feel awesome and energized and emotionally fulfilled

People against piracy fail to realize that no, I can’t just ‘buy it.’ They stopped making DVDs and Blu-Rays. They’re barely offering digital copies for download. I am not spending money I could use for food or bills to pay for a subscription service just so I can always have access to a beloved piece of media. Especially not when the service will remove media on a whim without concern for how the loss of access to that piece will make its artistic conservation nigh impossible.

For example, I recently learned that Disney+ had an original film called Crater. It’s scifi, family friendly, and seems cool - I would love to buy it as a holiday gift for my little brother! But: it’s exclusive to D+ and THEY REMOVED IT LITERALLY MONTHS AFTER ITS RELEASE.

The ONLY way I can directly access this film is through piracy. The ONLY available ‘copies’ of this film are hosted on piracy websites. Disney will NEVER release it in theaters, or as something to buy, and it may NEVER return to the streaming service. It will be LOST because we aren’t allowed to purchase it for personal viewing. If I can’t pay to own it, I won’t pay for the privilege of losing it when corporate decides to put it in a vault.

So yes, I’m going to pirate and support piracy.

Edit: if you are able, use $5 you would otherwise use for a streaming subscription to donate to a GazaFunds campaign.

one of my favorite facts about gekko hayashi (artist who drew gay erotica) is that he was straight guy who pivoted from sci-fi & monster stuff to illustrating for gay & bdsm mags at like 50 years old because he wanted to expand his artistic horizons, and compensated by lack of lived experience by setting up a phone line for gay men to call in & recount their stories so he could illustrate them...legend

tim: im not an amateur, i took my baby stalker duties very seriously!

Real quick.

I doubt this has reached Tumblr since this is mostly contained on Twitter.

But a former friend is publicly accusing me of some serious crimes.

I'm innocent. At least legally I believe.

The truth is I did and said some really shotty things, and I was a bad friend.

But I didn't do what they're accusing me of.

You don't have to take anyone's side. Just don't automatically decide I'm the villain when you only have one side's perspective.

And you know what? That goes for the person accusing me too. Yeah, I'm angry at them. But in truth, I acted like a complete ogre towards them, and they didn't deserve it. They're going through a lot of trauma and pain, and I don't agree with their actions, but they don't deserve what they're going through.

I wish I could be friends with them again. But I don't see that happening. Both of us have said and done things we can't take back.

All this to say,

I changed my username for a reason.

And if you start hearing rumors about me?

Please know that I'm not a criminal.

(Except for software piracy, which is an extremely based crime that everybody should do.)

(For legal purposes that last part's a bit)

Horikoshi was insane for this callback

17 year old, CEO Tim Drake canceling a press conference and then putting out a statement like, “Sorry for canceling last min, Alfred said that he was going to run my laptop through the dishwasher if I didn’t clean my room. I think he’d do it :/. Also, wasn’t really in the mood. Cya -Tim.”

“America has no culture” is an inherently racist statement. Especially when talking about California, which has enormous populations (yes, plural) of Hispanic and Asian immigrants.

It’s such a self report that you see the American hegemony, the American monolith, as a singularly white entity that’s worthy of scorn. I want that person to look at the Black American NYC Miku design and tell me with their full chest that that isn’t culture. Especially when modern pop culture owes so much to Black American culture — hip hop, language, streetwear and fashion, pop music, jazz — as is actively erasing their roots, saying all of America has no culture is a dumbass statement.

Also, “all the US Mikus are dressed in generic casual street style for coolish weather.” The original Brazilian Miku is wearing sunglasses, a crop top, short shorts, a bikini, and flip flops you absolute dunce. If you’re gonna be rude at least be consistent.
