#this pinned post is super outdated

[egg-emperor]

I never used to believe when people would say to me "the haters are just jealous" about stuff but now that I've built up a huge Eggman collection shrine over the years, I'd be jealous of that at least as an outsider

and it's funny because there's actually proof that the people that hate me are indeed jealous of my collection and I do have to wonder if that fuels their hatred even just a lil bit. on top of all the crimes or whatever :P

[criitterbug]

heya! sorry for the radio silence on my end; i haven't really been feeling up to posting lately mostly cos the things i've been drawing recently aren't exactly postable (i'd rather keep em to myself)

i'll pick myself back up whenever i find the motivation to do so :o]

[snarltoothed]

i’m allowed to be like different kinds of possibly annoying/cringe on this account versus on my main. like certain types of being cringe are reserved for certain audiences. you’re welcome. sorry to those of you who are double mutuals with me tho you get it all

[nexility-sims]

dear new followers (& y'all who've been here, i reckon)

i have realized that my pinned post is super outdated and unhelpful at the moment, so redoing it is on my to-do list. in the meantime, feels like a good time to give some quick intro links. hopefully these will help those of you who actually want to know what's going in the N-Verse figure it out.

my current story ("1992") is a prequel-slash-spinoff, and it's new, so now is a good time to catch up / follow along:

you can find the directory of posts here

you can jump in chronologically here

you can find the most recent posts here

the character page is here

there's a gameplay au (yes, another spinoff) here

it's a spinoff of my main story (calling it "house of tecuani"), currently on hiatus, which takes place sixty years earlier. you don't need to read it to follow the spinoff, but nonetheless:

the intro to the story's premise is here

you can find the directory of posts here

you can jump in chronologically here

check out the reference family tree here

i do a lot of worldbuilding, findable here

i post outtakes: past settings and present ones

it's a prequel because it's a collaboration with @/armoricaroyalty, whose half is set twenty-five years later, in the present:

you can jump in where the collab starts here (or, ideally, explore gabe's full story here)

lastly, i am always eager to answer questions, i love spam-liking, i try to reply to comments (altho i am slow), and i'm on disco 24/7 if anyone wants to hit me up, so please interact if you feel like it !

thanks for being here and / or sticking around ♥️

[caustic-caffeine]

my thoughts on the instagram ai situation, as a digital artist on the platform

figured i’d write and share this around so others in the community i’m in know my status. sooo, some basics for starters:

“Are you leaving Instagram? Where can I find you active?”

i’m staying on instagram for the time being. seeing as instagram almost certainly already has the data of my past posts, i won’t be deleting anything; going forward, i’ll be using ai disturbance filters and other anti-ai overlays for any stills i post. i anticipate using instagram for reels primarily, as well as staying in communications with mutuals and other artists. i do have a cara account, but will likely be posting intermittently until some issues i’ve noticed get addressed. going forward, i’ll most likely be at my most active over here! growth, fortunately, never was a priority in my social media presence so i’m not super concerned about that.

tldr:

instagram: gonna continue posting reels and occasional stills, will be primarily focused on interacting with fellow artists

here: most active! will post both rough and polished stills, as well as lore and whatever random thoughts pop into my head. (see pinned post for a tag guide)

cara: activity will be low unless shit really hits the fan on instagram and i can no longer protect my work via overlays. if you’re an insta moot, feel free to dm me if you want me to share your posts around, though! if the link doesn’t work: i’m @/asphodelity [EDIT] cara does work with an ai organization, hive; here is a post that goes into it and other things people have said about the platform! as i already wasn’t intending to use the platform all that often this won’t change anything for me, but make sure to do your research if you’re looking into the platform!

“Will this affect how much you post?”

not really! i already have a fairly sporadic posting schedule, so i’ll just be continuing what i’ve been doing: posting when i have things i wanna share :]

“Help! I’m an Instagram artist and want to know how to protect my art!”

i gotchu.

[EDIT] the non-glaze/nightshade/artshield filters are mostly ineffective! it won’t hurt you to use them, but if you can stick to using the glaze and nightshade sites!! if you don’t have a pc, you can apply to get a webglaze account!

how to (hopefully) opt out of your art being scraped in the european union (i think?)

how to (hopefully) do the same in the united states (note: post could be outdated)

other ways to protect your art: one, two, three, four

ai disturbance filters: one, two, three (set these to overlay at 30% as the top layer for most effectiveness! these aren’t as effective as using a website like glaze, but are better than nothing)

after june 26, no matter your region, you’ll be unable to opt out of ai data training. this affects, to my knowledge, everything you post, including captions.

“Any other thoughts?”

now, more than ever, we as a community need to stick together and support each other. don’t let anyone tell you your art isn’t worth anything; we as artists have something very special in our ability to create, express ourselves, and connect with the world around us, an algorithm and misguided techbros will never be able to take that away from us. keep pursuing what you love, my friends; we have to weather the storm to see the rainbow.

my dms are always open for art reasons. need a pep talk? i’m around. wanna collab or trade? i’d love to! need help boosting your social medias? i’m happy to help (although my presence is admittedly very small). whatever it is, i’m here and willing to help!

i’ll keep updating yall on this platform as my activity changes (or, perhaps, something big related to ai happens), so be sure to stick around if that seems interesting! also, please feel free to reblog this post and add more information i may have missed, that’s all for now, thank you for your time <3

[general-kalani]

I just read through your pinned post and I have a couple of questions ;w;

When you say muse and muselist, does this mean the person you're playing as or the person I'm playing as? And what exactly does verse mean?

Also there was a post about RPing and sideblogs - would I just have to send you the name of mine? (Mine's @extrapairofsocks :3)

I'm sorry if these are silly/dumb questions, I get confused a lot😭

IS OK IS OKKK I get confused easily too and you said you were new to the rp scene so here's the basic rundown!!!

The muselist I have is about the characters I write. Vaas, Pagan, Joseph, Andy, they're all people I write and I put them on the muselist so people know when they look through the blog who I write and whether they're interested or not.

Any character (muses) listed on the list are the ones I will write, essentially. It just depends on whether I have the braincells to write them!!

The character wishlist is the ones where I look for characters to play against the ones I write. It's an outdated as hell list though, I'll edit it when I can after doing other stuff lmfao.

AND YES sorry for how confusing that post was (I was super mf tired when I wrote it) but ESSENTIALLY if you have an rp sideblog whenever you like something or send in an ask/starter and you want me to tag that rp sideblog you just have to drop it in somewhere in the ask!

For example;

"The General walked through the forest and spotted Jacob. Crouching down behind a rock, they tried not to be spotted - @general-kalani"

If you got more questions do send them in I can totally go more in depth on things if you need to learn more about things I do not mind at all getting these questions, especially for the new people in the rp side of fandoms <3

[a-cloud-for-dreams]

Ok so I've recently been on a mission to read as much of the Choices catalog as possible since there are so many underrated books on there besides the boring smut ones. I think my last reading list is a lil outdated, inaccurate, and harder to find, so for my convenience I'm making a separate post.

My goal is to knock out the single books before starting the series for efficiency's sake, so most of the books on the priority list are single books

Priority

Kindred (CURRENTLY ON)

The Crown and the Flame (CURRENTLY ON)

Immortal Desires?? I've been curious about it for awhile

It Lives Beneath (ALREADY STARTED...)

A Billionaire's Baby (diamond mining)

Endless Summer (ALREADY STARTED...)

Murder at Homecoming

Secondary

Guinevere

With Every Heartbeat

Laws of Attraction Series

America's Most Eligible

Red Carpet Diaries

Rules of Engagement

Break Glass in Case of Emergency

The Royal Romance/The Royal Heir

The Freshmen Series

High School Story

Feel free to recommend more books that you feel like recommending!

Current MC & OC List

Jasmine Nefaletzi (Kindred)

Velaska Prescott (It Lives Beneath)

Natasha LeNoir (RCD)

Summer Reverie Layne (ES; OC)

Minerva Kallias (MAH)

Saoirse Lemoncello (TBB)

You can find the full list of my MCs and OCs on my pinned post!

Completed Books and Mini Opinions

The Elementalists: I LOVED this series it had flaws but it was super fun to play!! I love my powerful MC and my sarcastic twin, and I'm a sucker for elemental magic systems and magic centered schools imao

A Courtesan of Rome: AAAAAAAH WHAT CAN I SAY ABOUT THIS BOOK BESIDES HOW AMAZING IT WAS!! I feel like this was a historic book that felt accurate y'know and ofc ACOR MC is literally *chef's kiss* just an absolute baddie we have no choice but to stan <3 she had all of Rome on her knees as she should!!

Crimes of Passion 1 and 2: I think objectively the original book was better but this one was more replayable/entertaining solely because of the Thorne siblings but i wish the mystery and the plot twist were handled better in Book 2 specifically

Bloodbound Series: UGH IT WAS INCREDIBLE!! It still had flaws and I would have added/rewritten things but it's definitely one of the best and most satisfying series PB has ever written

Ride or Die: IT WAS AMAZING A+ I'm so sad the sequel got canceled it deserved so much more :(

Nightbound: IT WAS PRETTY GOOD i miss them already and want a sequel now. It's very replayable which I always appreciate

[ziggy-stardust-is-in-love]

Idk if I’ve posted this on here or not but here’s my beloved pin hat!!! It used to have a ton more but I took em off because they were embarrassing. There are still a lot of outdated interests on here because I haven’t added anything in about a year or two but when I have the motivation this is gonna be COVERED in Green Day stuff

Back when this had more pins you couldn’t even see the actual black hat, only pins. Pretty proud accomplishment even if it’s super heavy

[bernadette-laurent]

Presentation

(Well, this is a quick pinned post that will be edited constantly.)

Hello! My name is Bernadette but you can call me Noctris or some nickname of these two names. Preferably Bernadette but really anyone is fine.

On X/Twitter I'm like: @bernadette_lau0

Facebook: Bernadette Laurent

I changed my stage name many times, the number is too much and they are dead names that I do not want to mention due to discomfort, in any case I think this new name suits me very well.

I was previously on Tumblr as @/your-chihiro and @/thenuitinthenorthernlights but I decided to close those accounts (they are still there, but they are no longer in any use at all) in those blogs there was outdated information about my oc's, old art and old content, as well as interaction with people I no longer talk to today 💔💔💔 I would say that I wanted to delete the reblogs but still the discomfort did not go away. So I decided to start again!

MMMh, I am Mexican, I will not say my real age but I will make it clear that I am +18, my pronouns are She/her and I am currently studying Industrial Design.

I'm mainly in the Twisted Wonderland fandom, I don't really get into many of them however I have an interest in Super Sentai Series, Love and Deepspace and Disney. As well as the creation of characters and stories (although I am not very good at the latter, I prefer to draw them and let my imagination guide me to capture scenarios on a canvas).

The art trades are open depending on the dates, but I can make you drawings for free if I feel like it or I really like you, and regarding commissions, I don't open commissions:/

There are not many DNI's, only the basics such as phobia of the LGBT community, racism, rude language, little respect for what I share or for people close to me…

Don't follow me if you don't like Yumejoshi, self-insert or oc x canon, this account has as its main ship: Malleus Draconia, Sebek Zigvolt and Skully J. Graves

Much less if it is to sow hatred with the yaoi ships that I like.

Based on the other point, my only interests, as I said are: Malleus, Sebek and Skully, I also like to ship them (MalleSebe and SebeSkully) so you can easily block or pass me by if you don't like them.

I have no problem with whether you are anti or proshipper, just respect what I like or don't like, rest assured I won't share yaoi here beyond the previous ships I mentioned.

About being non-sharing… I am completely sharing, that is, I like to see more yumes of my favorite characters, I will like or repost any oc x canon that I see or self. If you are not one to share, you can block me perfectly, I have no problem, or if you are selective… believe me, I will be in my world so you will not have any problem with me because I respect too much what each person is.

Speaking of other things I don't like… I don't really have many, I previously liked watching a lot of yaoi on Twisted Wonderland but I stopped doing that because I got bored and to focus on what has made me happiest.

I have no problem with the mischaracterization of twst or lgbt headcannons, however I will make it clear that this does not encompass my own twisted world.

I'll be direct and I don't like Malleide and Mallelili at all, I'm really sorry but I really tried to like these ships, I tried to give them a thousand opportunities but they only managed to drag me down more and hurt me, in truth those ships don't inspire me….

Of course I completely respect you if you like these ships, there is no reason not to be friends and rest assured that you are still welcome here as long as you are comfortable with me too, this is a free place for anyone to come, believe me I actually respect you, I have friends who like these previous ships that I mentioned and I love them very much because they really respect my discomfort just as I respect their comfort and happiness with those ships.

With passive aggressive comments… I will simply ignore or silence them, I'm not interested at all, if you don't like it, pass by or if you have a different opinion than mine please don't be rude and say what you think in your profile and not in my posts, have a little decency about it because I will NEVER comment the same thing in your posts, it has happened to me so many times and honestly it is very tiring.

Don't get me into controversy either, I have nothing to do with it because I don't interact with anyone I don't love or with someone who doesn't love me.

With this, I am not a saint, I made mistakes in the past and I am very ashamed, I have no problem with them telling me to my face because it is not difficult for me to admit what I was and did wrong, in fact it helps me improve a lot.

If I have given people a new image, it means that my purpose of letting people know that I am not the same red flag as before has been fulfilled in the least.

I know it has been a bit of information but I want to prevent as much as possible, I have already said enough and even if new negative or positive things happen to me, I will edit this post.

My main oc, my “yuu” or “mc” from Twisted Wonderland is called “Bernadette Laurent”, she is really my favorite and I have put a lot of effort into making her, I hope you like it a lot and I will publish it soon!

I also have other oc's although I hardly use them, I will also be sharing information about all of them.

The only thing I know how to do is draw, so I will always try to share my yumeship or my oshis with you.

I think that's all I have to say, I really hope you like it, I have no problems with anyone, I hope you like me!

Thank you 🖤🖤🖤

Updated Pinned Post!

After the recent anon drama, I've seen it fit to update my pinned post. I also took the chance to finally swap out the super outdated mobile masterlist posts for my new Carrd (which is still somewhat a WIP)! This is a much more easily editable, mobile-friendly way to have all my OCs in one place. I'll probably still keep updating the desktop masterlist, so don't worry about that.

[anxiously-sidequesting]

Okay I'm finally gonna make a regular pinned post instead of that ✨old ass✨ Ambrose one

(this is really just for my own benefit and for new followers/lurkers more than anything else but it's super neat if you read it also. ill give you 7 dollars if you do)

*throws introduction and facts about me on the table:

i'm usually called Sillo but i'm cool with any names anyone wants to give me. bitch, enemy of the state, Dick Van Dyke.

pronouns are largely she/her/hers but im trying out other pronouns like a new pair of pants. i also identify as GNC so you'll hear me refer to myself with masculine terms from time to time but i still want to be a girly girl. if that makes sense. im also cool with they/them/theirs also!!

im currently 24 years old but my dream is to one day live into the hundreds so i can be a knife wielding disillusioned bitter old lady

im poc 💖 this doesn't affect anything but i just thought id mention that

if i ever misunderstand your words or accidentally say something insensitive, offensive, or upsetting, i super duper apologize deeply, i'm autistic so i unfortunately have a hard time reading social cues, understanding people properly, or taking others' emotions into account. please please please lmk if this ever happens so that i can correct myself and do better in the future 💖

i mostly post analysis posts on wizard101 lore and its characters but take this with a grain of salt because my knowledge of the game is very limited, i forget most of what i experience and i havent played the game in maaaybe 8 years? so my observations and opinions are very outdated sorry. oopsies

i have a sideblog at @/anxiously-sideblogging if anyone wants to lurk or follow me there for non-wizard stuff. it's just my hyperfixations on kid cartoons and kid games and i just made it like 2 weeks ago so its pretty empty and cringe

This blog is 18+! i don't post super explicit things very often (I will tag these posts when I do) but overall this isn't really a kiddie friendly space

i am a hypocrite. i may like things for the same reason i may dislike things. sorry im just a lil bit messed up like that 💖

FUCK TERFS and racists and all the -phobes actually. not that the wizard101 fandom has any of these but i wanna say this just in case i get any nasties on here. get out of here 💖💖💖

If you read all that congratulations and thanks that's super cool of you! welcome to my disorganized mentally ill hell 🥰

[fabrickind]

hey, cosplay sempai, I am wondering if you have any tips or tutorials for doing very revealing cosplays?

I've been thinking about cosplaying Lelith Hesparax from Warhammer 40k and it's super outside my comfort zone (unsure if I can send links in asks, but she basically wears a leather thong and bikini top with thigh-high boots and some armor bits) and have no idea where to start. I was thinking maybe about attaching at least the thong bottom to some skin-tone leggings or tights for modesty/warmth and to keep everything in place?

Sorry for the vague-ass ask, I've done some cosplay before and am a moderately experienced seamstress, but nothing like this and now I can't get it out of my head. Any advice or links to tutorials about construction and/or building up the confidence to wear such a thing in public would be much appreciated :)

Hello there!

Oh boy you have asked the right person about this!!

I have an entire panel about skimpy cosplay (slides can be found here), but it's a bit outdated and that's just the slides, not my commentary. (I have a different but related panel about underwear here.)

For this specific case, you have a couple of options, but most come down to attaching pieces to skin-tone fabric.

One option would be to construct or purchase a full bodysuit that the pieces attach to. I can't tell if this character has grey skin or if it's just stylized normal pale human skin tone, but if she has grey skin, a full bodysuit would be your best bet, since it would negate the need for bodypaint. (I assume you would have mentioned if bodypaint was an issue though!) You can also do a partial bodysuit that's open in key areas: cleavage and stomach. The rest would be covered by skin tone fabric that the garments could attach to.

The advantage of this method would be full security with no risk of slippage. The drawback is that the effect is a bit less realistic, since fabric isn't skin, and if you made a bodysuit (or depending on where you got one), there would be seams. It would be a bit more realistic if you did a partial bodysuit, since skin would show in key areas.

The second option would be exactly what you suggested -- attaching the bottoms to tights. I would 1000000% recommend tights for this costume for many reasons: modesty (you don't want your actual ass out at a con!), warmth, making your legs look better, preventing slippage, etc. Her bottoms seem to come up pretty high on her torso on the sides, so you may need to attach them to dance body tights rather than regular dance tights. You can also construct your own tights, but these would have seams (preferably on the inner thighs, since the seams would hide well there, especially given the shapes of the costume).

If you make your own tights or bodysuit, I'd go with either a matte milliskin (opaque) or non-compression power mesh (sheer, so hides better but shows more).

It's a bit hard to tell what's going on with the top, and different references seem to be slightly different. Some have a cutout with underboob showing, and some (like this) seem to cup under the breasts, so it would be up to you on what style you want.

You can also use a silicone or fabric and foam chestplate if you don't want your actual skin showing. There's nothing to hide the neck seam, so it would be a little more difficult with a fabric and foam one, but you would be able to attach the top to it, either permanently (sewing) or temporarily (pins, snaps, etc.). Here's a post I wrote about these.

You probably don't need these for security, but they would be helpful if you want bigger boobs for the costume and don't want your actual skin showing there.

For constructing the top, if you go with the style that cups the breasts, use an underwire. You can use two separate underwires with a busk (better if you want a more customizable fit) or a monowire (better if you want it to truly cup under and have a smooth line there). Either way, you might want to put some foam cups in there for a bit of extra support and coverage. You can cut into these around the cutouts to remove material and they keep their shape. (I did this on Spellbinder Angela SD3 lol)

I'd take a little bit of liberty with the design and instead of totally shredded, unsupported fabric on the bottom, put a band of lingerie elastic (silicone backed if possible) around your torso to help keep everything in place.

You can use the shredded bits along the red line I drew to kind of fake it. Putting lingerie elastic in the other shredded bits that come off the sides of the cups (the three just above the red line) would also helps hold it in place and support you. Bras are supported largely from the band, and hiding a bit of structure that encircles the torso would do a lot of this work for you -- as long as the garment encircles the torso fully with some sort of structure (the underwires, lingerie elastic in those center front bands, around the back), it will help hold it in place.

Another option, in addition to the elastic, is to fill in a lot of those little holes in the bra band with skin tone mesh, whether you do a full bodysuit or not. A full bodysuit means you can just sew them directly to the suit, and not means that you would have a solid piece of mesh in there to help hold everything together. (Basically don't chop up the mesh into little pieces for each hole, but rather make a solid band and sew the straps to that, and then cut the edge of the mesh band to shape so it doesn't show at top and bottom.) Since the back doesn't really show, I'd use the piece of mesh as the closure as well by putting a set of bra hooks and eyes back there, and making sure the black straps line up on either side. (Your other option, if not doing mesh underneath, would be to create three front hook closures, like front bra or swimsuit clasps, at the center front busk and the two straps.)

I'd also add a bit of boning to the top along the sides to help hold it closer to your body and give a little extra support.

As always, when wearing an underwear cosplay, wear underwear underneath it. Undies under your tights, pasties on your breasts. It never hurts to have a bit of extra security, and it'll help the costume lie nicer on your body.

As for working up the nerve, I have a few tips, which may or may not already be covered in the panel I linked above:

Wear it at home before wearing it out. This is both to make sure the costume functions how you want it to and to get you comfortable wearing it

If you can, wear a different skimpy cosplay out somewhere to work your way up to it

Making sure the costume fits your body well and doesn't have risk of slipping out of place or revealing too much will help a LOT. That sense of security in the costume is really key, I find.

Go to con with a handler, Just In Case. If anyone is being weird, the handler (could be a friend, partner, etc.) can help defuse the situation.

Bring something to cover up with. If you feel self conscious, too cold, etc., put on the cover up. Also good if you are doing a location shoot or leaving the direct con area, since a lot of places that aren't the con won't like that you aren't wearing much.

If you have other questions, feel free to ask!

Hope that helps :]

Hey! Figured I'd make a pinned post since that seems to be the thing now and I know my 'about' page isn't as accessible these days :x

I'm Roshon! (row-shawn) No pronouns preferred, they/them second best. Adult, queer, sometimes I do art stuff, sometimes I write, mostly I lurk.

COMMISSIONS: OPEN (see post here)

Me: I've been off and on tumblr since 2011, most recently off for a long time and just now back on so I'm still catching up. Kinda. I draw, sometimes, and post art under #roshon's art. I'm semi-furry, which is to say I mostly draw anthro art but am not super involved in the furry community. My fursona is a maned wolf! I also have some other OCs that maybe one day I'll flesh out more. I'm an adult, live in the PNW, and am kink and 'queer as inclusive rather than exclusive' positive. I work in landscape construction, keep a lot of houseplants, have gotten into fish keeping over the past couple of years, and have been lucky to live in a number of neat places throughout my life. c:

My tumblr: Being here always brings out my old fandom interests, which lately has been a lot of Hetalia (and by Hetalia I mostly mean PruAus or most stuff to do with Austria as a general), and the usual miscellaneous fandoms we all seem to have (Pokemon, Arcane, Gravity Falls, Steven Universe? Warriors? Idk). I try and keep a pretty diligent tagging system for your blocking/seeking needs (and my satisfaction). Yes, my fandom headcanons are probably outdated. Yes, they probably contradict each other at times. No, I do not care.

And speaking of fandom, I do write fanfiction on occasion.

I do have a ko-fi account for commissions and tip jar for writing if you're so inclined. ;;

Anyway not much else to say. I'm pretty open about my social media and try to keep an open door if you ever wanna chat. c: Chickensmoothie | Instagram | TikTok
