i already made a tumblr for my art (just as an archive) but i hate the thought of moving here for my art after ~5 years on artph / the local art community on twitter

like i'm not sure how to (re)build an audience on a website that just doesn't have my target audience in it and it makes me want to eat broken glass

#filipinos on tumblr receive my art....pretty differently from filipinos on twitter if that makes sense #on twitter it's mostly chill and normal vs tumblr where like. there's a Vibe. or they straight up say in the tags #like FINALLYYY like despite /living in this country/ they're so unused to seeing filipino culture depicted in art (bc they're on extremely #western social media circles). it's not my fault or their fault it's just Not My Preferred kind of reception to my art yk #it sort of makes me feel like i'm portraying something gimmick-y and slapping ph flags on everything when the art is just. whatever #does this make sense. but anyway twitter is like my house and tumblr is like me going to someone elses american house etc etc #it can get fun here but i am completely out of my element. shrek voice they don't even have kanal humor on here #skl.txt #also all my art there is mostly filipino (fashion) oriented and gets an ok amount of notes except ONE POST #sunrise/sunset art wc is very ambiguously fantasy wtvr looking. it's at 16k notes. which is neat but also a bit discouraging like #man. my target audience Really isn't on this site. yk. but i really really do appreciate it nonetheless i'm just a bit lost at the moment
