LOOK WHAT YA’LL MADE ME DO!!! (Jk no one asked me to do this lol)

I see this guy everywhere so of course I had to check him out, I DONT EVEN PLAY ROBLOX!!!

But after a few YouTube videos of play throughs of the game and lore dump, I’ve decided to jump on hype train of Sebastian Solace.

Enjoy!

Again sorry about the watermark, but one can’t never be too careful

Also, this is just the sketch but I plan on going all out on this character reference sheet

Also, also, yes I have twitch and I might stream me working on this!!

WTF stealing ur posts is weird enough and creepy but acting like YOUR cats are THEIRS..... is idek... that's just crossed a line way too far omg!!

yeah :c it’s very strange… like honestly if they wanna post cats just. Go outside?? Like. they r literally everywhere. I get my cats r super fuckin beautiful and cool and beautiful and smart and awesome and beautiful and any1 would love them but they’re mine.. I’ve been dealing w catfishes for years and it’s exhausting . it’s much past just stealing pictures.. I’ve had catfishes pretend to have my chronic illness (one of the reasons I don’t post much abt it anymore), parrot parts of my family life I’ve posted to tumblr, steal pics of my FAMILY + FRIENDS, and now my babies. sometimes I feel like I can’t post anything at all without it being stolen somehow. I’m not about to watermark every single picture I post from nature to cats yk? :/ I just want to enjoy my silly little blog and not be watched by weirdos. sigh. anyway. Sorry for the vent lol..

[freckledjoes]

Hi queen!!!

Thank you for all these gifs you'vemade! Just wondering, have you ever thought of putting a watermark on your work? I worry you're not gonna get the credit you deserve!

oh my darling you must be (somewhat) new to my blog hahahh :') anyway, hi love!! you're so welcome, i'm happy you enjoy them! <3 now, for the long part that i'll spare my usuals on here cause i sound like a broken record at times:

i used to have a watermark on them! they got reposted into oblivion. i asked people not to, i got a lot of hate, been called a bully etc. people don't understand why 'i make gifs if i don't want people to use them' because they fail to understand gifs can be similar to art, rather than just plain reaction gifs to repost 'omg hot' above. i enjoy making things pretty, but apparently it's wrong to not want to have them reposted. with my art, no one has that issue though. funny how that goes :) had a short period where i would even add the whole 'freckledjoes do not repost' on a gif, and people still claimed to not see it. like you don't stare at a gif over and over when you take the time to steal it, lol. i've posted with and without, and the amount of reposts is the same. it's just extra work for me. like, i prefer people enjoy my gifs on my page, giving it the love it deserves on my posts, but instead they prefer to get likes with a gif they put zero effort in. often they don't even bother to interact with my content (especially not the twitter folks!) so yeah, i could get 'credit' if i put my name on there, but all it does is cause more reposts, which i generally did not want :) maybe at some point i'll put it on them again, if i ever consider it fun to see it blasted everywhere, but currently i prefer to pretend people did not know i don't appreciate reposts. fun fact: had a person follow me on twitter recently. i posted 1 gif there (cause due to the reposts instead of retweets, it didn't feel as fun to post a lot there anymore so i only RARELY do it). they didn't interact with it whatsoever, just reposted it (which is more effort than a retweet i would say). that's the fun of being a gifmaker. people will not repost fiction or art, but gifs? S U R E. it's only a filter, right? they say the same about edits (which i do watermark most of the time). it's funny how it's so hard to understand why people make gifs if they don't want them used by others (it's fun, it's a creative outlet, it's pretty) but have no problem understand why people make art (it's fun, it's a creative outlet, it's pretty), and understand that reposting of art isn't cool. i'm so sorry for the suuuuuuper long answer, but this is the story :D it has its ups and downs. sometimes i wanna watermark again, sometimes i don't. you're so sweet for saying i deserve the credit, sounds like you value this stuff and that means i appreciate you as a person :) much love to you! hope you have an awesome day.

Hey man your most recent reblog about stolen art content made me think back to how much of your content I found stolen literally everywhere on Pinterest. It’s a rampant problem and idk how one even begins to solve it :// I’ve been a victim of online content theft so I get it man

@pixelcube hi! thank you for your message and your support! 💙 I'm sorry this happened to you too 😞

I know many artists whose content was stolen, and the only one person admitted that she just took my render from pinterest and make a video on tiktok. I just can't get why we let them do this? Why does no one fight this back? why only me bitching about it and making a drama?

Someone once told me that's the price for becoming popular and if you think about it from a positive POV, then yes. This is free advertisement for your blog to get more followers.

But recently I found out that they not only steal my content. Now they started to crop or remove my credits from renders. And they even put their own stupid tiktok watermark on it, can you imagine that?

I've almost had resigned myself with the fact that people don't bother to leave links to creator accounts. But when they just put their own watermarks instead of the artist's credits?! 🤬🤬🤬

What improbable impudence!! 🤬🤬

I like being in the fandom. I like to create content. But sometimes it's very frustrating.

It hurts me so much because I've finally found something for myself that I'm good at 😞

[slonkel]

Sorry, somewhat of a... rant(?) About my school's rather poor choice of a mascot.

A... a lumberjack? But... like... the city was named after a type of tree, and so the school district is also named after a tree... and the city logo is also a tree... but our mascot is a lumberjack? Oh, but that's not all, the mascot logo is the disembodies head of a lumberjack with two axes in the back! Ohhhh, but the best part of this is that this is the mascot for the WHOLE SCHOOL DISTRICT! That's right! Not only is it for the high school, NO! It's also for the junior high and the two elementary schools! This disembodies lumberjack head though, if it sucks so much they probably don't use it so much- NO! They LOVE sticking it everywhere! You walk into the gym and, WHOAH! Why's there a 5 foot tall sticker of a lumberjack's head on the wall! Huh, free t-shirts, fun- WHOAH! Why is there a 6 inch lumberjack's head on my chest! Huh. The school sent us some mail and WHOAH! WHY IS THERE A LUMBERJACK HEAD WATERMARK ON THE TOP LEFT CORNER! Oooh, what I would give to have our mascot to be something generic like an animal, but noooo. Sorry about all this, just had to get this off my chest. I feel an irrational hatred of our school's mascot.

Regarding my last post on the subject:

ok at this point I'm mildly curious so i wanna ask

[frisslimbim]

The ✨range✨ of this man...

A small expression board (?) I did of Andrew a few days ago, more as a joke than anything else, but I still don’t really have a lot to post right now so I thought I might as well share it..

Still working on getting my hand back in working order. It’s much better now, but it still hurts a lot when I use it more than 30min in a row lmao

[stimmy--cryptid]

also, my dni has been updated.

i know it might be a little weird and/or really specific, but i wanna ask that tiktok stim accounts DNI. the vast majority of stimboards ive seen on tiktok do not credit and ive seen some edit their own watermarks over my gifs and that makes me very uncomfortable. if you run a tiktok stim account and you do properly credit the sources of all of your gifs, youre free to interact, but anyone else that runs a tiktok stim account, please DNI.

additonally, but on the same topic, DNI if you just dont credit gifs in general. like, blogs that post stimboards with absolutely no credit, as it also makes me uncomfortable. crediting another stimboard that used one of my gifs is fine, but if you just dont credit anyone at all for anything please DNI.

if you plan on using my gifs and dont plan on crediting me, or at least crediting the person who made the video my gif came from, do not interact with me. i have it in several parts of my blog(s) that im not comfortable with my gifs being used without credit. please please just dni if you wont be crediting me. thank you.

[timottea]

because it had to be done, thank you to the acaDAMNy 🥵

preparing for the oscars is no joke; you have mere minutes before you’re due on the red carpet, but this is the first time you’ve been alone together all day. after countless stylists and touch ups and fittings, it shows in the desperate way he locks the bathroom door of the venue, dark green eyes ravenous as they meet yours.

“if i rip this they will not be happy—”

timothée’s silenced by your mouth over his, teeth sinking deeply into his lower lip until he groans and slams you against the sink. suddenly, he couldn’t care less about louis vuitton.

all at once, your hands are everywhere: sweeping through his hair, down his chest, fingers dancing over the lace on his wrists, feeling the thrum of his pulse as his heart jumps wildly.

he looks phenomenal, shining in confidence and cartier.

“fuck, i mean it, this shit is expensive—”

“why are you still talking?” you growl, hands slipping under the cropped jacket and onto his creamy skin.

timothée moans into your mouth, the rings on his fingers deliciously cold against the cutouts of your dress. why, why, did the carpet have to start now?

“baby, we have like one minute…” he says, yet makes no move to leave. how could he? when you’re in front of him, exquisite, a vision in a black dress? honoured, he stands between your legs, lips hot and wet along your jaw and down your neck.

“exactly, so stop talking,” you command, breath caught in your throat as you feel him grind against you.

you sigh, leaning back a little to give him better access, fingers weaving through those soft curls as you tug him closer by his necklace.

so close, his scent is all you can think about. floral, woodsy, and when he dips his head to suck at that spot behind your ear you’re swept into your very own garden of eden: a paradise so sweet even heaven would pale in comparison.

“don’t stop, don’t ever stop,” you urge, and timothée does his very best to keep your voice hushed as it echoes around the bathroom: his lips capture yours once more.

“god, you may actually kill me,” he rasps, lifting you onto the edge of the sink and you don’t even care that the faucet is digging into your hip, that the porcelain is cold, that your dress is most definitely wrinkled, because his tongue is doing that thing and nothing matters except the way he moves, the way he sounds.

startled by a bang on the door, you slip backwards into the basin, knocking the faucet up and squealing as it sprays you with water.

“gah!” you gasp, laughing in shock as timothée quickly lifts you, setting you back on your heels. his face, mouth hanging open in consternation, makes you laugh even more.

“i’m so sorry!” he cries, lunging for the towel and dabbing at your dress.

you giggle, brushing him off and fixing yourself up again in the mirror.

“good job we’re both in black, huh? no watermarks,” you grin at his reflection, turning to restyle his hair after the mess you made of it.

“good job i’ll be taking that off soon,” timothée moves your hair to kiss your shoulder, a hand on your butt as he opens the door. he takes your hand in his, and the shivers running down your spine have very little to do with the screaming crowds you greet together.

[losparanoias]

Get back, Loretta!

[scumbagg]

So sorry about that disgrace person. The new tiktokers just waltz in everywhere and pull that kind of chap thinking tumblr is like tiktok. Genuinely sad that you experienced such an asshole. Please don't stop creating your lovely edits.

no you have such a point tho. don’t get me wrong, i’m grateful for all the new ghost content being created but you’re right with a lot of these new fans coming in have such a privileged attitude it’s so frustrating. i’ve seen my photos cropped and watermarked removed in so many tiktok edits it’s ridiculous and very disheartening.

thanks for the support, i appreciate you 🫶🏽

Few things we should make clear: ☝️ We listed some of the many ways in which polyamorous and non-monogamous people face discrimination and stigma in our post on june 21. If you haven’t looked at that, please do. ✌️ It sucks having to justify one’s belonging. This commenter is essentially demanding proof of polyamory’s queer+ pedigree. You don’t need a certification to have a pride flag, nor to bring one to pride, nor to be at pride. 🤟 Some in the lgbtqia+ community don’t want polyamory involved in pride because in their estimation 1) our recognition and visibility will dilute or reduce theirs and 2) if people who choose polyamory can be present at pride, queerness and pride will become less legitimate. ✌️✌️ Polyamory and non-monogamy are an affront to an existing and pervasive sociocultural standard. An unbelievable majority of media is created with monogamy as a systemic default, and with deviations from that default as immoral, or worse. Living polyamorously by choice or by nature parallels and exists within the larger queer experience that pushes against inherited convention and seeks acceptance. 🖐 As polyamorous people, we must continue to champion the voices of the unheard. if you identify as polyamorous and do not stand at the intersection of other underrepresented, underserved, or oppressed identities. Be cognizant and thoughtful of the way you wield that privilege. This community is much bigger than you.

~image description below~

[Image Description: A set of 6 images. All text is in lowercase letters.

Image 1: An image with a black background. At the top of the image is big, bold white text which reads “let’s unpack this.” Beneath it is a screenshot of a comment, with the commentor’s name censored by a pink box. The comment is in black text and reads “you don’t need a pride flag. the lgbtqia isn’t a fun club to join, if you’re poly and lgbtq it’s not because you’re poly- it’s because you’re a gay/lesbian/bi/ace person. stop. i find this to be deeply transphobic and homophobic. you, people who have CHOSEN a non monogamous lifestyle, are designing a “pride flag” i’m sorry, do you even understand why lgbtq people have pride in the first place? the holocaust, pulse, the event in the 50′s when the american government tracked down quee people, and gender/sexuality based murders are our reason for pride. we are excluded from society for something we do not choose to be. the bible and religion is used against us. there are laws currently in place to harm lgbtq people. you do not face oppresion for being polyamorous. you should all be very fucking ashamed of yourselves, but you won’t be.” At the bottom right of the screenshot is a curved pink arrow pointing to the right towards the next image. Below the arrow is the “@polyamproud” watermark and the polycule symbol beside it in pink.

Image 2: An image with a white background. At the left side is big bold, left-aligned black text which reads “we’ve said this before, but we’ll say it again.” Beneath it is smaller, thin black text which reads “our struggle for legal protection and destigmatization is not at all the same as that of the lgbtqia+ community, nor especially of BIPOC.” At the right side of the image is a screenshot of one of our earlier posts going over why polyamorists need a pride flag. The screenshot is that of an image with a black background with a gray polycule pattern in the background. The main focus lies on the text explaining everything in the middle which features big white text which reads “Polyamorists are a privileged group.” In the middle of the image, to the left side of the image is a thick pink, vertical line. To the right of the line is pink text which reads “polyamorous and non-monogamous people - especially white, cisgender, male polyams - are fortunate.” Beneath it is white text which reads “we do not face the level of violence perpetrated against so many of our siblings of color and underrepresented identities in the queer, trans, and broader LGBTQIA+ communities.” At the bottom of the screenshot is part of the caption of the post which is in black text and reads “polyamproud - tag someone that needs to hear this...” Beneath the screenshot is a pink box extending from the left side of the image to the right side of the image. Inside the box is bold white text which reads “and”, immediately followed by bold black text which reads “it is still valid.” At the bottom right of the image is the “@polyamproud” watermark and the polycule symbol beside it in pink. Next to it is pink text which reads “2/6”, indicating the image number.

Image 3: An image with a pink background and a big pastel pink circle at the right side of the image which is slightly cut off at the right side. At the left side of the image is a thin, vertical white line, taking up about half the image. At the top of the image is a black box extending from the left. Inside the box is big bold, left-aligned white text which reads “let’s start with what we don’t know.” Beneath it is smaller, bold balc text which reads “the current academic consensus about polyamory ans non-monogamy is that”, followed by italicized text which reads “some”, followed by more text which reads “see it as intrinsic to their nature, adn that”, followe by italicized text which reads “some”, followed by more text which reads “see it as a choice.” Beneath it is more black text which reads “so, in fairness to this commenter, we don’t know for sure whether people who do and will fly the flag of polyamory are non-monogamous by nature.” At the bottom right is white text which reads “3/6”, indicating the image number. Beneath it is some small black text with the letters spaced out from one another which reads “however”. To the right of it is a black arrow pointing towards the right. At the bottom left of the image is the “@polyamproud” watermark and the polycule symbol beside it in black.

Image 4: An image with a black background. At the middle right side of the image is a pink circle, which is slightly cut off at the right side. At the top of the image is big bold, left-aligned white text which reads “the origin of your polyamory is irrelevant to your right to.” Followed by some bold black text which overlaps with the pink circle which reads “exist.” Beneaht the text, to the left side of the image, is a thin, vertical pink line which is as long as the bottom half of the image. Next to the line is small bold, left-aligned white text which reads “whether you were born polyamorous or you’ve found your way to this community through investigation and exploration fo yourself, you deserve the right to be treated as a human being.” At the bottom right of the image is a pink arrow pointing to the right. Beneath it is the “@polyamproud” watermark and the polycule symbol beside it in pink. Next to it is white text which reads “4/6”, indicating the image number.

Image 5: An image with a black background as well as wall of gray text. The text in the background is made up of many different exclusionary lines for many different sexualities and gender identities. On top of this, in the middle of the image is a black square at a lower opacity. In this square is big bold, centered pink text which reads “polyamorists are not the only recipients of this uninformed, exclusionary discourse. At the bottom of the square is a small “@polyamproud” watermark and the polycule symbol beside it in light gray.

Image 6: An image with a black background. At the bottom right of the image is the pink outline of a hand with painted nails and a nail polish brush floating above it alongside some sparkles. At the top of the image is big bold, left-aligned white text which reads “we may not be fighting against our oppression.” Beneath it is smaller, bold pink text which reads “but we are fighting for acceptance.” Beneath it is small, thin white text which reads “by choice or by nature, we love who and how we love. and, on behalf of polyamorists and non-monogamists everywhere, we’d like to thank this commenter for reaffirming our mission.” Slightly beneath it is more text which reads “this is exactly why we’re working so hard. to increase our visibility and grow awareness of polyamory and ethical non-monogamy through the use of a new and inclusive pride flag.” At the bottom left of the image is the “@polyamproud” watermark and the polycule symbol beside it in pink.

so deviantart supports AI bullshit nitter(.)net/DeviantArt/status/1591113203551207425#m

for those wondering about alternatives, it seems like Toyhouse is literally the only safe haven lmao. at least you can watermark the shit out of your art AND set your characters to private or authorized users only. i only post on TH now because everywhere seems rampant with NFTs and AI bullshit. sorry to say that that’s what it’s come down to

[winterpower98]

I’m sorry to hear that your art got stolen or used without your permission. I don’t know much about the person who decided to steal/use it, but I hope you’re doing okay, Winter.

I'm fine, I'm just pissed off

Now I'll have to add my watermark everywhere, it will look ugly but what other choice do I have
