#so im reposting this like this and gonna delete the link post

[penaltyboxboxbox]

i know what im gonna ask stupid and annoying questions, but why do u stop posting ur work?????😭😭😭😭

well 1. i dont have anything to post man im busy as hell i dont have yaoi drawing time like that anymore especially when the season are so cruel and uninspiring to me.... and 2. people were posting my shit on twitter dot com and instagram and tiktok bro. there were normie sports bros in the comments calling it disgusting. people linking back to this account, to my ao3, etc. no matter how many times i asked for it not to be reposted by anyone who wasnt me. people were saving my shit and posting it on platforms where drivers are and where its not properly tagged and it was not fair to anyone and its really shitty to do and was the reason i deleted so much stuff 😛🤘

Hi! I'm the coiner of the cpunk flag, I was told you made a userbox with it but I don't see it anywhere on your page just on that users pinned post, we moved from wateryourgender (the blog we originally posted it on) to archival-arrival and fantasy-store (more active on cpunkwitch).

If it was Infact you that made the userbox we want to let you know we're fine with edits using our flags but prefer to be tagged and/or linked for credit, og blog at best otherwise usually tagged on fantasy-store.

Not upset or anything just info! (Light hearted)

- blue

alright, no problem, wait a sec !

edit : done, tagged the og account :D

edit : so, didnt look enough on the first one i tagged you in, so i tagged you one batch of userboxes that didnt have the cpunk flag in it, im trying to find the one that actually has it in it (i remember it was a request, someone asked me to do it, most likely by asks)l but tumblr often deletes my posts for some reason, or make them impossible to find. gonna keep looking but its possible that post doesnt exist anymore. if youd like, i could repost it with the credits @cpunkwitch (tagging so you see this)

edit : found it [link] !! turns out i had already credited you in it ! if youd like, i could still add the @ of the og account :D

[skeetlebeetle]

haha i hav 69 followers nice. N E WAY look. i meant 2 save this 4 after the apply fic came out (way 2 long xplanation under the cut) but im impatient n i j made all this cool art so i think u shuld see it

(DONT MAKE ME TAP THE SIGN!!! if yr gonna use my art [don’t repost] u gotta credit me!!)

so i shuld probably start w this: im rlly tired its 1:30 am n this will mostly b incoherent i think.

OK. 1 of the 1st social medias i evr got as a kid wuz wattpad. ive made n deleted so many accounts.. the memories r craz,,, n e way, its mostly behind me now but i still check back on the website sumtimez n i check my notifs or whatevz. n sum1 i followed a while back is doing an apply fic that is basically like 6 percy jackson ocs.

now heres the thing.. i dont actually rlly kno what an apply fic is. but based on the description n other oc entries in the comment section its a thing where u giv the writer yr character n then they write it into a fic. which is p cool!! n i do luv 2 make ocs.

heres the other thing: i dont hav n e percy jackson-esque ocs so i had 2 make sum. n where did my mind immediately go?? ace attorney ofc cuz thats my obsession. so i decided 2 make sum ocs based on ace attorney characters. they were gonna b reeeeeally obviously ace attorney @ 1st but i didnt want it 2 b super easy 2 figure out so i changed up their names n gave em different designs n stuff. but basically they all hav the same backstories n personalities other than all the god stuff

turns out tho that i rlly like making knock-off percy jackson/ace attorney ocs so i made em like supa separate from their original ace attorney source n now theyre j kind of their own oc guise. i rlly luv how theyre turning out actually

N E WAY all of this 2 provide context 4 me 2 say that i wanted 2 save these designs n this ace attorney xplanation bc it was kind of a silly lil harmless prank way of me being able 2 say i snuck ace attorney characters into a percy jackson-esque fanfic even tho i didnt rlly cuz, once again, these r basically my ocs now. also idk if n e of em will actually make it into the fic yet. n i didnt want the writer of the apply fic 2 stumble upon my carrd (which is, yes, linked in my wattpad) n accidentally find my tumblr n see this post n then like. idk. disqualify me. "but beetle u didnt hav 2 tell tumblr n e thing abt these ocs!!!" well sumtimez u j wanna post art dude!!

BUT WHATEVER MAN!!!! im paranoid n the writer finding my tumblr let alone reading n e of this is highly unlikely. even if they did they wuldnt fucking care. so heres sum ocs i came up w. n in case its not clear (which it probably isnt 4 at least 2 out of 4 of these designs/names), rich is gumshoe, jay is edgeworth, phoenix is phoenix (woaw), n spyridoula is maya

note that 'rich' n 'dick' r both nicknames 4 richard, jay's name is basically 'scales of justice' n also his dad died, phoenix is so lazy that his name is actually j 'phoenix,' n spyridoula is i think j named the word 4 'spirit' in greek. also shes a hippie

FINALLY: i think i got locked out of my old pinterest which was fine cuz i wasnt rlly using it n e more but 4 this apply fic i had 2 make either a moodboard or pinterest board 4 each character n y wuld i put in the effort of making a moodboard?? so heres my new pinterest which is j boards 4 these characters:

[osaemu]

wait will your old posts disappear then if you reformat them? i think i have some of them liked and im very forgetful so i might not be able to find them again if you delete them bc i dont usually check who made the post before i add it to my likes fjhgjfdhjgdhg

hmmmm ok so here's what im gonna do if i decide to repost my older works . . .

change the formatting to be more aesthetically pleasing

rewrite parts of the works that i don't like but it's mostly just grammar/style so it won't actually be "changed"

repost as a new post with my new tagging system

change the link on my masterlist to direct readers to the new post instead of the old post

the old post won't be deleted tho! i'll include a link to the original on the new post and i don't plan on deleting the original

hope this answers your question 💌

[lipanek553]

little info! + inzoi lol

Heyy so I know many people haven't even followed this simblr but I thought I should make a little announcement anyway, just in case any one would stumble upon something here lol

Basically I had a previous simblr that got temporarily terminated lmfao, but i managed to get it back, so now I'm posting over there again! i think i'll be posting inzoi now as well

here's the link to my main simblr

now help me decide what to do with this blog 😭please😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

i also still wanna keep this blog but im not sure what to use it for. Do i just reblog/reupload everything from my main simblr anyway or post some extra content here?

i was thinking i would share some of my fav cc-finds here but then i realized i barely use cc myself, so im not really sure about that either.

my other idea was sharing some actual gameplay stuff? like i'd be posting my original creations/downloads/cc on my main and have this one for stories or just updates about my sims and their lives lol. i'm not like a storyteller or comic maker, so don't expect that, but i do like to share some sweet and/or funny moments from time to time.

i'm also thinking about making this blog into a inzoi-tumblr kind of thing, now that it came out. i have already created a few sims i would love to share but i think it's fine on the main simblr as well as it targets the same kind of players.

my zoiself hehe

aaaand then there's of course the option to just delete this altogether, i'm basically mainly keeping it for the two (2) whole posts i uploaded here in the meantime before i got back on my main, which i could perfectly fine just copy and repost over there right, sooooo......

again i dont really expect anyone to find and let alone react to this post but im still gonna put up this little poll just in case lol 😭😭😭😭

sorry for the ramble omg this was way longer than i thought

and again, HERE is my main simblr from now on :)))))

Questions

Why haven't you been posting your artwork recently?

I don't know what im doing. I don't know how to feel about anything anymore. There is so much getting to me right now and will probably be for a while like hell.. election day, project 2025, Palestine, work, shopping, harsher weather, numerous holiday arrivals, and so much more. My brain has been in a slump or like this great heavy fog. I feel like I'm just trying to survive now at this point. My creativity is dimming more day by day. There's barely any motivation in any of my fandoms. I reblog and admire, but it's a battle upon myself, it seems. I really hope something good happens. I want things to turn out alright soon for everyone, or at least someone who really needs it. 10/30

Platforms currently?...

Tumblr

Ofthedarkwoods :random shit all the time basically main blog

OfthedarkwoodsArtwork :Multi-fandom artwork and content

Pinterest

Ofthedarkwoods :filled w/ lots of references, art challenges, brushes, and more.

Ofthedarkwoodsfashion :different themed oufits perfect for ocs or going out.

Twitter

I deleted Twitter I cant be supporting the first lady now can I.. so yeah Fuck Twitter I'm gonna see if I can find something better. Let me know what works best.

----------------------------------

Is rebloginging your art okay?

Yes of course reblog away! The more reblogs the better!

Are you okay with me uploading your art to other platforms?

As long as you keep the watermark & give name credits i dont mind, maybe even a link so others can find me and enjoy my artwork as much as you do. If I see on any platforms where no name credit is given (watermark deleted.. ect.) I will get it taken down, so please be respectful. Also remember not every artist is like this so always find the creator and ask no matter how long it takes or how little research there is. Otherwise, I wouldn't bother posting any artwork.

Also for mature content like nsfw & gore I beg of you to put warnings. If you can't put warnings then dont bother rebloging or reposting at all. My content is not made for everyone and any mature +18 content without warning will be taken down forcefully. Anyone who sees my artwork being shared without warning let me know please.

Is dubbing your art ok?

Yes that is fine although I would still love to hear you ask so I can research your account, find out more about you, and maybe even like and support you as well. Just remember to give name credit please.

What mature content are we talking?

I wish to post more content like gore and consensual type themes in the future for other adults to enjoy. I have been experimenting with my artwork and seem to have found myself drawn to it quite literally. I have been observing pastel gore and just love it. All this type of art will have warnings and if anyone reposts this should have warnings as well or else.

OH! Please note I WILL NEVER POST ANY INCE$T, PEDØ, CØMSHIP/PRØSHIP TYPE STUFF SO FUCK OFF!

Why are you interested in drawing gore?

What can I say.. well, when I was younger, I had surgery and was always afraid of my scars opening up. It wasn't until recently I decided that my scars were something to not be afraid of and that it was all in my head, I started seeing the beauty in candy/neon/pastel/fruit gore. I saw it all in a different perspective and that other people must feel this was too. I want people who want to see it to feel the beauty and comfort like I do. I thought as though I'm reclaiming it for myself instead of being afraid but to embrace it.

I'm a minor under 18 how do you feel about that?

I'm gonna be forward and say i dont feel comfortable with minors on my page. I'm an adult I talk about mature topics and will be posting mature content (w/ warning of course). Yes I know I cant fully stop you from seeing my posts especially on other platforms but if you message me or ask any questions I will ignore/block you. The internet is a fucked up place and I truely wish more adults would take topics like this seriously. I really care about each and everyones safety so I will take measures into my own hands if i have to. I really dont want to be friends with childern so please respect my wishes and leave me alone.

Are you open to commissions?

Unfortunately no. I'm still figuring out some things at the moment but I will take suggestions for any lgbtqia+ icons to have as a pfp. I mean starting a business is tough and I want to take my time with my art on my own terms, I'm still a part time artist and on top of that I procrastinate a lot so deadlines are exhausting.

How do you feel about Spammimg?

If we're talking about DMs I honestly wouldn't really perfer a ton of text messages to reply to however you're welcome to hit the like button as much as you like. It shows your appreciation and I know what its like finding an artist with cool artwork to enjoy. Comments are fine but I dont think I can respond to every single one.

Are you trans?

Yes probably non-binary specifically with they/them pronouns because I feel like the "given" binary spectrum and "gender roles" don't really suit me. I mean most days I feel "feminine", some days I feel "masculine", and some days I wake up feeling neither, or sometimes I wake up feeling both. Gender is very confusing so for short I'm nonbinary.

Why did you quit Instagram?

Animation is one of the hardest things I've pushed myself to do. Instagram's platform wasn't necessarily fitting to my standards per say. My technology kept failing as well and made it difficult to keep a steady rhythm with posting. But also in other words I felt many users wouldn't accept my artwork as much as they'd accept my videos. I also felt that many Instagram users didn't see me as non-binary meaning many didn't use my pronouns correctly. I felt like all this together was enough to push me away. Tumblr felt more freeing than Instagram and so far its been more enjoyable, but none the less I made friends and will miss them dearly.

Will you do anymore Animation?

Yes i do animaton but wish to expand more on that later... right now it's just artwork and edits. I've thought about posting to YouTube but idk..

Why are you so political?

I think everyone is affected by politics all over the world. It's a part of our society, and I do have morals so of course I'll be evolved. Like already most of the world is against me for their own selfish insecurities and I realize that I have some privilege of my own and should stand up for others when they are faced with unjustifiable terms. I get that people need breaks and yes please take breaks and take care of you basic needs but without ever talking about any issues, wintnessing but keeping to yourself, or simply not teaching and discussing your feelings with others can lead to serious problems or issues that will never be fixed. There is always a time to bring up your concerns and make yourself feel heard but remember things like this take some time, communication on every side, and a good support group.

You are welcome to block, ignore, or mute me but I'll always keep posting important topics.

[cdelphiki]

It was dumb.

No. Not dumb.

It was really, really, exceptionally stupid.

Being afraid of a little rain was probably the lamest thing a person could possibly be afraid of.

What was even scary about storms?….. Anymore?

Jason had a house now.

Sure, it wasn’t like, forever or nothing. But it was at least for now. And for now was long enough to protect him from the storm outside.

And yet, here he was. Hiding under his comforter, trying to ignore the cacophony of noises outside.

People who said rain was relaxing were high, Jason was fairly certain. High or really, really crazy. Because the harsh static of the constant downpour only made Jason more anxious. Even the gentle pitter-patter of a drizzle was the prelude to the deafening onslaught of far too much rain for the city’s sewers to handle, and Jason couldn’t handle any of it.

The crash of another bolt of lightning made Jason jump so hard, he nearly tumbled off his bed. His heart was hammering so hard, he was amazing no one could hear it.

But then again, the rain outside was so loud, there was no way anyone could hear anything but it.

And he was immensely grateful Bruce had skipped patrol. Because the last thing he wanted was for Bruce to come ‘check on him.’ Bruce might have thought he was sneaky whenever he poked his head in on Jason at 2 in the morning, but he wasn’t. And now Jason was happy, because the last thing he wanted was for Bruce to find him cowering under his covers, afraid of a storm.

A freaking storm.

It was insanely dumb. Jason knew why storms happened. He understood about cloud formation, positive and negative charges, and all that fun stuff. He’d read all about it in one of his school books.

That didn’t stop his heart from racing or his hands from shaking. And when another bolt of lighting hit, this time probably only 500 yards from the Manor, Jason leapt to his feet.

It was dumb. It was really, really dumb, but he could not be alone anymore.

He couldn’t.

He needed… he didn’t know what he needed. He needed to not be alone.

Before he could think better of it, Jason found himself standing in the hall, looking down at the doors ahead of him. There was Bruce’s room on one side. Door wide open, as he always left them to encourage them to wake him, or something. Jason just found it annoying, because it meant he couldn’t sneak past Bruce at night to go downstairs.

Perhaps that was Bruce’s plan.

On the left was Dick’s door. Shut, as always. And entirely unoccupied. Per the norm. Damian’s was next to it, and just barely cracked, so the dog could come in and out as he pleased.

The dog.

“Ace,” Jason whispered, trying to keep his voice quiet enough so not to wake Bruce.

He couldn’t deal with Bruce right now. He might ask questions.

And Jason did not want to talk about how the storms reminded him of being stuck outside in late fall, unable to find adequate shelter, freezing cold, soaked to the bone, and shivering while the rain kept coming. Didn’t want to think about how it took days to fully dry out after that, nor how the ground was wet for a week.

Or the case of pneumonia he’d developed, that landed him back in foster home for the third time. Stupid clinic being a rat.

Bruce would be super caring and understanding and he’d listen and hug Jason, probably. Then offer to stay up with him and watch movies, or drink hot cocoa. And Jason… kind of wanted that. But he couldn’t handle it. He wanted to cry just thinking about it, and Jason was so over crying. So freaking tired of doing it.

The dog, though. The dog wouldn’t ask him questions. He’d just lay with Jason and be there for him.

Ace was awesome like that.

But when Jason said, “Ace” again, this time a little louder, all he heard was the jingling of Ace’s tags. Deep inside Damian’s room.

From experience, Jason knew Damian was a heavy sleeper. Like, a really heavy sleeper. One time he fell asleep on the couch, and he and Bruce continued talking at a normal level for an hour, and Damian didn’t seem to notice one bit. Bruce was able to carry him up to bed afterward, all without Damian so much as stirring.

It was wild.

Would totally get him killed, one day, but probably okay for him right now. As long as he was safe in the Manor, that was. With the literal Batman watching over him.

Jason was kind of a little jealous of how deeply he could sleep. If only Jason could sleep through even the lightest footsteps passing his room at night.

Or storms.

“Ace,” Jason whispered again, nudging the door open just enough so he could stick his head in. Once his eyes adjusted to the darker room, he had to blink.

Because Ace wasn’t on the ground, where he normally spent the night, ‘guarding’ Damian.

No.

He was up in Damian’s bed, under the covers with him, tucked up against his side.

And Damian was there, wide awake, looking right back at Jason.

“Jason?” he said, far too loudly for Jason’s liking. Considering Bruce’s door was right there. Like, five feet away!

A crack of lightning flashed outside Damian’s window. And even with the half a second warning, Jason couldn’t suppress the flinch at the loud crash that followed. “Sorry,” he said, slipping into Damian’s room and shutting the door more, in hopes that Bruce wouldn’t hear them talking, “I was just… uh.”

The fuck was he doing? He couldn’t tell Damian he was looking for the stupid dog because he was scared, now could he? What would Damian say to that? He’d probably laugh at him.

Or start calling for Bruce to come fix it…

“Checking on Ace?” Damian asked, pushing himself up into a sitting position. Ace, in response, whined at Damian and pressed up against Damian’s side more, “Did you know he’s scared of storms?”

Ace was afraid of storms, too? Why would he be scared of them?

Well, he supposed the noises were very loud and Ace was a dog. Practically a baby. He didn’t understand what caused storms.

“Yeah,” Jason said, standing a little straighter and crossing his arms across his chest, “Yeah, I just wanted to make sure he was okay.”

It was perfectly reasonable for Ace to be afraid of them. That was a valid excuse. Poor Ace.

Jason, however. He had no good excuse. It was just rain. And some thunder and lightning.

And trauma, Bruce’s voice whispered in the back of his head.

Stupid fucking Bruce saying stupid fucking things like that to him all the time.

When another crack of thunder made Jason jump and bump up against the door behind him, Damian frowned. “He’s okay as long as he gets to sleep with someone,” Damian said, running a hand through Ace’s fur.

“Oh.”

That made sense. Ace didn’t want to be alone, either. Why would anyone want to be?

Because they weren’t being fucking stupid like Jason, probably.

Jason wasn’t sure what to do now, though. Ace was with Damian and probably wouldn’t follow Jason, even if he asked. Ace was Damian’s dog. Damian was Ace’s favorite person. He wouldn’t want Jason as a substitute.

Maybe Jason could sneak past Bruce’s room real fast and go into one of the interior rooms downstairs. The theater, maybe. It had no windows. If he turned the TV on, he—

“You can join us if you want,” Damian said, eliciting another flinch from Jason.

Stupid fucking storm making him all jumpy.

Good thing Bruce wasn’t there to see, he’d get his dumb little frown on his face, similar to the one Damian wore. But Bruce would ask dumb questions like ‘what do you need to feel safer?’

Stupid fucking Bruce. Who made him like that?

Staying in Damian’s room would be admitting he was scared, and he wasn’t…

…admitting it.

Aloud.

“That’s okay, I’m gonna—“

“It’ll make Ace feel better,” Damian cut in, “he likes it when more of his people are near. Sometimes we go into Dad’s room.”

“Oh.” That actually made sense. Ace was a guard dog. If the storm scared him, he probably liked knowing as many of his people were safe as possible.

Jason still wasn’t convinced he was one of Ace’s people, but Damian kept insisting he was, so maybe…

“Are you sure?” He didn’t exactly want to crowd Damian’s space, either.

“Yeah.” Damian pulled his blanket over, making room on the other side of Ace for Jason to crawl in.

Figaro, Damian’s cat, had been underneath the blanket, too, apparently. Jason hadn’t even noticed her, but she protested loudly when the blanket over her moved. Her collar jingled when she jumped down off the bed and crossed the room.

She brushed past Jason, tail up in the air, just as snooty as always, and paused at the door. When Jason didn’t open it for her instantly, she mewed at him.

Loudly.

It was like she was trying to wake everyone in the house, just like she’d been woken.

Jason opened the door for her and she raced across the hall into Bruce’s room. Based on the startled snort Bruce made, she hopped up on him.

Stupid cat was trying to wake everyone.

“Figaro,” Jason heard Bruce mumble, his bedsprings creaking for a second as he grumbled something else Jason couldn’t quite make out.

Jason held his breath, willing Bruce to not get up and check on everyone. But when the bed settled again, and no footsteps followed, Jason let it out in a quiet sigh.

“Okay,” he whispered, “but I’m gonna get my own blanket. Be right back.”

On tip toes, Jason rushed back to his room and grabbed his comforter. It was huge, so he wrapped himself up in it and let the rest of it drag behind him, like an oversized cape.

Was this what Batman felt like all the time? His cape seemed like it would be heavy, even if it didn’t drag the ground. How did he even run around with it? Jason could barely walk down the hall without tripping all over himself.

The storm outside was already calming down, but Jason knew there were several more cells following the one passing. He’d looked at the radar. The storms weren’t going to stop until well after breakfast.

Ace would definitely need the company all night, Jason was sure.

He was extra careful not to wake Bruce on his way back to Damian’s room and very quick to crawl up into the bed, opposite from Damian.

Jason wasn’t used to sleeping with other people in the same room, much less the same bed, but Damian had crashed in Jason’s room once already. It hadn’t been bad.

Maybe a little nice.

He would have never thought it’d be so easy to fall asleep with someone else in the room.

Even though Damian was a heavy sleeper, there was something relaxing about knowing someone else was there. Someone Jason could trust not to be a jerk to him. Damian was just a little kid. And a pretty nice one, at that.

Staying in Wayne Manor was turning him soft…

“We can watch a movie," Damian mumbled, from where he’d curled up next to Ace again, clearly half asleep already.

“You said you’re not allowed.” The last thing Jason wanted was to get Damian in trouble.

He wasn’t quite sure how Bruce punished Damian, since usually all he did was say something like ‘knock it off’ or raise his eyebrows at Damian, and Damian stopped whatever he was doing. Even though he doubted it’d happen, he’d feel terrible if he got Damian hurt just cause he was too scared to fucking sleep.

“Dad won’t care,” Damian mumbled, “there’s no school tomorrow.”

Jason looked at Damian skeptically. The rule was ‘no tv after bedtime.’ Jason wasn’t sure it mattered what day of the week it was.

Damian was, apparently, confident in his opinion Bruce wouldn’t care, because he sat up and grabbed the remote, then handed it to Jason.

It took Damian telling him twice more that it was ‘really fine, just pick something,’ for Jason to actually power on the projector and flip through the kids movie files.

In the end, he found an old cartoon for them to watch instead of a movie, and snuggled down in his blanket, all cocooned up so only his face was showing.

Predictably, Damian fell asleep within 7 seconds of the first episode playing. But the gentle snores from him, as well as the warm weight of Ace against Jason’s side, did help Jason relax a ton.

The storm kept raging outside. At times, the wind howled against the windows, and the rain fell so hard it sounded like hundreds of people were on the fucking roof, stomping. Not to mention the thunder and lightning, which continued to hit nearby.

Even with all that going on, Jason found himself jumping less and less.

And about four episodes in, he started to doze.

Sleeping while it was raining wasn’t something Jason had done in years.

But that night, he slept right through the rest of the storm. If the thunder kept up, Jason didn’t notice it.

When he was finally roused by Ace, well after breakfast, the sun was peeking through the curtains and birds were chirping outside.

Damian yawned dramatically as he stretched and said, “See. Told you Dad wouldn’t care.”

“Yeah.”

Maybe he wouldn’t care next time there were storms, either.

Because… Jason had to admit. He’d never felt as at peace as he did that morning.

He never wanted that feeling to end.

[oh-miniso]

this is gonna be long so i'll split it into two

part 1: on reposting

1- if you're not sure if it's the original artist, just check their other posts to see if the styles match if you're still not sure, don't post it

2- 'all credits to the artist' doesn't mean anything bc people don't know who that 'artist' is

3- mentioning pinterest also doesn't mean much, pinterest didn't draw these artworks and everything there is mostly reposts

4- these twitter artists can't contact you because a) they don't have tumblr (they might not even know what tumblr is) b) they don't know english

majority of artists don't like their art reposted, in fact some of them stop posting entirely/lock their accs/delete all their art because people keep reposting against their wishes

if you really can't find the original artist then it's better not to post it at all and to keep it in your group of friends or something, when you post it on tumblr it'll just keep getting spread around, continuing the problem

a lot of artists will say if they allow reposts or not in their bio or in a profcard link etc and if they don't say reposts are allowed/not allowed, then don't repost it

you can use google translate or deepL if there's a language barrier

unfortunately reposting without permission IS discrediting, i hope you understand, i don't want wonderful artists to stop drawing wonderful art like this it's disheartening if ppl keep using your intellectual property without your permission especially when you said it's not allowed

1/2

Thank you @aliriien so much for teaching me this. I understand that i made a mistake that can discourage and dishearten the artists who truly spend so much effort and time into creating such beautiful arts. (∩_∩)

I apologize for this and i hope this mistake harmed anyone's feelings as i too do not want the wonderful artists to stop posting or getting discouraged to post because of my inconsiderate actions.

Next time i want to post anything, I'll be sure to credit the artists (only if they allow reposts) or else I'll refrain from posting.

I've said this before (and people may think I'm using this as an excuse) but im new to using such social medias and as such am not aware of rules and norms. So I'd be grateful if others can point my mistakes if i make them and guide me so i don't discourage others and come across as rude or anything like that.

I'll take down the maid poll immediately. And can you please help me find the artists of the arts in my other posts? If they can't be found or do not allow reposts, i will take them down as well.

On this note, can you tell me how do i post a link as a word or two? So that the posts don't show the entire link. I've tried it before but it always ends up showing the entire link.

Thanks♪(･ω･)ﾉ～♡

I’m setting this up for a auto post thing since it’s like 5:27 AM for me as I type this. I’m scheduling it to post at 9:39 AM

But I’m reposting links to these two stories of mine, Court of Chaos(Hobbit fic) and Crimes of Family(MHA fic) because for some reason I am emotional that these two aren’t getting much love.

Like, I feel like I put all I can into my stories - I certainly try my best! - and I know I should be grateful that people are even bothering with what I write, but I guess this is me having a five am break down.

I hate that I crave validation so badly. I do. I’m prideful when I try to tell myself I write for me, and that I “don’t care” if anyone else likes it, but I’m lying. I care so much what others think. Nevermind that once I’m admitting that I feel like all I’m doing is whining. There’s so many better writers, who’d bother with mine?

But fuck it, I’m gonna whine. I’m gonna repost and talk about my interests and scream until I either burn my little heart out or whatever part of me finally gets that I need to start living by what I say listens.

Im not even sure where I’m going with this anymore. Maybe I’ll delete this in the morning. I think I’m just upset with myself lately. I feel like I’m losing friends and going back into my turtle shell, like I’m no longer a good person to talk to. All I do is whine, whine, whine, and swing back and forth between being happy or being sad while swirls into mild indifference built on apathy.

Look at this rant! This post is supposed to be me reposting links to two stories of mine I feel proud of but don’t think they got noticed that well, and here I am being a Debby Downer! I literally cannot understand myself! I don’t know what emotion I’m running on! I don’t know what’s wrong with me!

…maybe I just need some sleep.

Something about art repost

I really need somewhere to vent, so I’m sorry Tumblr.

These days I’m having a lot of problems with the art reposting. I never cared too much if the person who did it gave me credits, and I allowed it. But a few days ago I reached my limit and said to PLEASE don’t repost my drawings anywhere. Why that change of mind? Because that went too far and people started to repost everything without credits. When it just once, you say "well, its ok", but when nobody bothers to do it, it’s frustrating.

When I said that on Instagram I had a problem with someone who started to say nonsense. You can be against repost or not, I  can accept that. But with valid argument.

But the problem has arrived today on Facebook. I'm in a quite large Danganronpa group, which reposts my drawings (AN LOTS OF ARTISTS WORKS), without credits. Sometimes they do it, but 90% of the time they upload lots of images without caring where they come from. I never said anything to them and I let it pass.Until a couple of days ago, they shared a post of one of my drawings that was on another group, writting in the main comment my name as "Chris-chan.".When I left a comment to correct them saying that it was "Criiis-chan", they told me that "it was a joke" (obviously many of us know from where.) Joke that is not funny to me anymore, besides that you devalue my work giving “””credits””” to another person. I got really upset, so today when I saw that they were posting another of my drawings without credits, I said that I didn’t allow reposts and that I was not comfortable with it, to please delete the post.  I was told that there was nothing against the rules and he laughed at me, saying “noone was gonna die for not posting my art” which frustrated me even more so I opened them a DM. Saying that due to this lack of respect towards me I wanted them to take down all my drawings from that group. To which the admin has told me that it was the first time that an artist complained about art reposting, and I’ve been giving him my point of view and asking respect to the artists.

He had another point of view, so he told me that he didn’t have time for this, that he was going to delete my drawings of the group and that he was going to ban me to avoid more conflicts. And indeed, without letting me say anything, he banned me. And then he made a post adding the link to this Tumblr saying that I do not accept reposts.

They also said I got banned because I threatened them, when I just said I was gonna report that previous post that had no credits. 

What  happened from here is that  people in the comments start laughing at me. And there was even people saying “no one’s gonna repost ur art cause is generic tumblr art” (?????????if you don’t like my art why did you keep posting it? dunno).

The only thing I asked for was respect. Respect for people who creates content. Respect for people who dont want their art to be reposted on another sites, and specially  without credits. But seems like this caused some people laugh because "without reposts nobody sees you", "we dont earn money so there’s nothing bad about repost". Sorry, but I rather prefer my art to be seen by just 1 person, than someone who reposted it getting it seen by 1000 when mine is still being seen by 1. Because honestly, people dont usually bother go to artists real medias when they see their art reposted. People lefts a like on the reposted drawing and then leave. It doesn’t benefit us at all. 

Obviously, there will be someone who finds artists like that, but most people leave a like and leave.

Please. We only ask respect for artists who do not want their drawings to be reposted.

Im really sorry this was really dense

hii💜 So i've been following you for a while because i think your gifs are absolutely gorgeous. Seeing all this discourse abt the gifs is very sad.. half a year ago i learned how to make gifs and im still learning how to improve. For example i downloaded avisynth but i have no clue how to use it. Do you know of any tutorial that might help? Because seriously i know so little it's even hard to find the right tutorial. And do you have any other tips or tutorials for further enhancing gifs? tysm 💜

hello!!! ahh thank u angel soso much 🥺❤️

yes ik few but im gonna leave only one here it has pretty much everything here

-wanna add one thing there is also one more more person on twt who posts ts files now @/c_a_leaf  (but not only bts)

on step 2 that tutorial of brandinator is what helped me back in the days with avisynth but @michietuts also helped me with some things (especially how to make 60fps out of 30 and how to check if its possible) 

-also wanna say another thing i always use this ⬇️ for every single vid cuz other .bats may not work with ts

about further enhancing i use both topaz denoise and topaz clean (there r links in the tutorial) and smart sharpening settings for topaz clean i left here  

for denoise i use this

and change only overall strength however i need (the whole image shouldnt look blurry but it should blur some pixels)

u may choose whatever order or settings u like 

also the important thing is to check doubled frames there r a lot of videos where every fourth and fifth frame r the same so be careful with this 

about coloring well its totally up to u just experiment with different things (back in the days i personally took around 5 different pics with different lighting etc etc and tried to make psd that looks decent on all of them and i still use it but of course i add or delete some layers that i dont like)

also u better add ur watermark on that psd to always use it lol especially bc of this whole reposting thing

bUt if u want ur gifs to look colorful it may decrease the quality and they will look more pixelated (gifs r pretty limited with colors :/) so choose wisely what do u want qualty or more colors

alsoooooo i really dont know what is the gif limit size rn but i can post even 9mb< gifs and they somehow load dhjssj (u cant imagine how thankful i am)

it took me a while but i really hope sth here may help u dshgfsldfkdg

I'm going to 'split' this blog into 5 other blogs, each for a group i stan and write for (that's gonna be helpful if i ever wanna write for more groups) ,, for ex. I'll have a separate blog for bts, one for exo, one for svt, monsta x, nct and so on.. I'm still keeping this as my main blog where I'm gonna reblog all the works and writings that i post on those separate side blogs so everything can still be here together,, i feel like splitting this blog into more blogs is gonna keep everything a bit more organised,,, also the links to the masterlists are going to lead to those blogs,, basically when you feel like reading some monsta x, you can just click on my masterlist here and it will take you to the blog and my monsta x works,, all he works i posted so far im NOT gonna repost on those blogs im just going to reblog them there so i don't lose notes (yes i know im that bitch, plus it wouldn't be good if i deleted them from here then ppl who read before wouldnt be able to find them again) ,, anyways, when im done finishing up the blogs im going to post the urls here,, hope you don't mind this and thank you OH AND ALSO ABOUT REQUESTS!! You will still be able to request on this blog or on one of those blogs it doesnt matter in which ask box you leave your request :)

Ugh can you stop whining already? The resposters you're demonizing are HELPING YOU by giving you EXPOSURE so you can be popular like all the other popular artists like there (edendaphne, taylordraws, qookyquice, sakura-rose12, ferisea, ceeljes, etcetara). Posts on instagram with their art helped them become popular and the "evil" reposters are only trying to help you to. Just let them repost soon you'll get 1000 followers. So stop being whiny and just let them help your unpopular ungrateful ass!

Hello, anon! Normally, I would ignore rude anons and immediately delete them, but I feel this type of ask is relevant to raising awareness of the problem we have with reposters, art thieves, and the like. So here we go!

It’s true, I may not be as popular as any of the tumblrs you have mentioned (btw, you misspelled a few :c), but that doesn’t mean I’m not entitled to the rights of, I emphasize, MY OWN WORK. Also, I’m not sure where I was whining anywhere, can you give a source? And what am I supposed to be grateful for exactly? ┐(‘～`;)┌

But yeah, even if I had only 3 followers and half a sandwich, a thing I made and posted is still something I explicitly own. It came from me. All I did was share it via tumblr. If I didn’t share it, guess what? I still made it. The only difference when I shared it was so people can see it too. But I still made it. The reposter didn’t, the art thief didn’t—it was me. Henceforth, it is mine to control how it’s shared and used. You are not entitled to up and use my work without permission, no matter how you justify it.

That goes for all the ‘unpopular’ artists out there too. You created a thing out of nothing. It is yours and no one else’s. If anyone tries to put you down to get you to allow them to repost your stuff or give them ‘free commissions’ for so-called “EXPOSURE”, politely decline them (or flip them off, it really depends on you 👀).

You have something they don’t—your skill. Don’t let them take that from you because they made you feel bad that they make 1000+ notes/likes per (re)post they “made” compared to your sketch getting 9 notes and a supporting comment from grandma. At least you have a skill to make a thing, a skill you can only get better at over time, as opposed to a reposter’s skill of Googling and right-click Save/pressing Print Screen. Because any old schmuck can do that. I can do that. My grandpa can do that. My 4-year old nephew can do that.

We all start from nothing, so have pride in what you can do by yourself! Don’t give up and work hard and I guarantee you, people will definitely notice your effort, be it sooner or later. c: (I was gonna cite Van Gogh as an example of ‘later’ but uhh he got popular after he died so that might be a bad example i’ll shut up about that now im sorry)

But I digress! Back to anon. Your claim is because I’m not a popular artist, I can get recognition via reposters, so I should be grateful. To be frank, I think that claim is all sorts of dumb. It doesn’t explain why reposters then STILL repost work by artists who are clearly more popular than their repost account/s. They certainly don’t need any exposure. The math just doesn’t add up, anon. :c

I do apologize if trying to put me down like this didn’t work out. I am confident in my own (albeit not-that-good-yet) ability and I truly believe that if I do work hard enough, I can make it out there. And even if I never do, at the very least I didn’t enable attitudes such as yours to permeate and be justified. I’ve made friends who appreciate what I do, and at the end of the day, it’s more than enough for me. Even if I don’t make it big, I know they’ll be right here supporting me anyway. My question is, who do you have, anon?

I hope sending out this ask helped you dislike yourself a little less. c: Sorry for the long post!

If anyone needs more information about the reposting/art theft problem and the protest, check out @miraculousblackout! They have all sorts of posts and links to help educate you! If anything else is still unclear, just send an ask. We are here to guide you. Just remember, be respectful! Have a good day! ヾ(☆'∀'☆)

Hey Ash, I have two requests if you don't mind. 1- I was re-reading Her and you mention that you wrote an extended scene of Rick telling Michonne about his dream, is it still somewhere I can read? (I know that was a long tim ago, its fine if not) And 2- could you link me to the Carnival fic you wrote? I thought it was on FF but I can't find it?

Don’t mind at all! I don’t have the original post of the “deleted scene,” so I’m just gonna link you to another ask where I reposted it. Hope you like! http://cake-by-thepound.tumblr.com/post/141050477797/im-currently-reading-her-do-you-have-a-link-to

As for the carnival fic, I actually deleted it from ff.net a while ago, because I’m the worst, lol. But someone asks about it like every other week, so maybe one of these days I’ll just reupload it here or on AO3. I don’t wanna promise anything, but I’ll give it another read and see if it sucks any less. 😄

something has been bothering me lately and i’ve never really used this blog in the last 6 years to complain really or, like, at least in the past 2 years, but ugh, im just so annoyed.

now the thing is, i love the skam fandom. it’s probably been my favorite one to be apart out of the shit ton i’ve been apart of in the past 6 years, but it’s also very annoying.

im really getting tired of either everything i make being used to make something else or to be completely reposted.

like i really can’t make a compilation video w/o it being reposted w/o credit on twitter and tumblr in the 5 minutes after it’s posted. now i know compilation videos aren’t something im like slaving over all day trying to perfect like my fanvids, but, like my ass still takes an hour to sift through 10 episodes of a season to get either “every time blah blah happens” or what have you. and even if i post an ugly tacky watermark on it, it still gets reposted as if reblogging and retweeting do not exist. when people do this, i can’t help but feel their only intention is to get notes/likes. they’re not doing it bc they just “had to share this w/ my followers” they see it, are mad they didn’t do it, and think they have the right to just right click and save video??? like what the fuck.

and then lately, people have been taking my “isak & even | the infinite” video and been using it to create other things. like that is better than completely reposting (which someone did on twitter when you can so easily just share a fucking youtube link, but no one’s gonna retweet that!) but. still. like someone literally taking the video and creating not one, but two gifsets with it. they didn’t credit the coloring to the person that i so easily credited in the description of my video, but also like. the “slowness” of those gifs that people liked were due to my editing. i chose the speed, where it started and ended, and i had to wait the extra hour to hour and a half for it to render at 25 fps so it comes out as smooth as possible. and she apologized and deleted the gifsets, but tumblr still doesn’t delete the reblogs as well which is stupid so the posts can still be easily seen. 

and then today i go on vine (rip) and see not one, not two, but three different edits by the same person using the video to make their own edits, thankfully with different music, but STILL!!! they didn’t credit the person who colored, and again with the smooth af slomo that i made look nice is in those edits. and i know this probably seems like the most tiniest of problems that i could have, and it lowkey is, but it just. it hurts. it hurts me that people are taking the credit for a coloring they didn’t make instead of giving it to the person who made that sick ass coloring. and it sucks that these people can’t make their own edits w/o using other peoples hardwork. they would rather steal someone’s video to use than learn to edit themselves. like my ass wasn’t born with editing skills, i had to learn and practice. i’ve been editing since i was like. literally 12. and im 20 now. my ass was even using windows movie maker until like 2 years ago, and now i feel like a good editor in my eyes. i watched tutorials and practiced a lot. and thanks to vine, as people think its a joke that people care that its ending, but really if i didn’t practice making 6 second edits, my skills would still be in windows movie maker. 

anyways this was a rant no one wanted to hear. and that no one should really care about. sorry for the long post.
