#to my recollection btw several quiobi artists gave up the fandom and deleted their works because of reposting and theft | Explore Tumblr posts and blogs

Yasss your majesty please do share older Quiobi works, I'm very recent to this ship and the amount of Quiobi artist who deactivate saddened me and the only way to find their art is via other's reblog, they are basically impossible to find by search/tags only and your blog is *chef kiss*

😂😂😂 thank you, and welcome! pls enjoy all the art I can find! and if you happen to spot some broken tags/links pls tell me about them 👀🙏

I think maybe the saddest thing about the deactivated accounts is that, in some cases, it probably wasn't even the artist's choice. Some people went on hiatus or moved on, and they're living their best life! But in roughly 2019, tumblr did a massive sweep and marked many posts nsfw. The filters were not great at the time—you got to see some pretty bizarre things flagged.

You could contest the flag! Some people just missed the window of appeals. Some of my favourite artists were/are inactive for 2+ years.

I mention a couple of interesting cases on my Error Log page. One of the more upsetting examples to me is this art by @schaloime (here's their twitter!), which is no longer accessible on tumblr at all. I know I've reblogged it more than once—it's completely missing from my archive and anyone else's. rol-rol's account was plainly deleted, though you can still find some pages through the wayback machine. Tumblr structure being what it is, it's incredibly difficult to archive an infinite-scroll, multi-page blog, so these posts are sadly limited.

And then there's the blogs that were hacked and taken over by porn/spam bots 😔

While I try not to repost art (simple enough) or reblog reposted art (somewhat slightly trickier sometimes), eventually I may begin reaching out to ask people if they mind me sharing their works. I've been shy about it, for various reasons, but it's under consideration.

Anyway!!! Always happy to have new ppl discovering the ship! Enjoy the lovely art 🥰❤️

#mod post #sorry about the info dump 😂#there's a few things I'd like to try at some point #I've seen a number of posts for mdzs art that are reposts with permission and a link to the artist's twitter acct #I think I'd actually prefer to do embeds‚ but tumblr may not display them well #(or reliably)#to my recollection btw several quiobi artists gave up the fandom and deleted their works because of reposting and theft #so reaching out to someone who had that history feels... well. like I'm asking in spite of already knowing the answer is a hard 'no'#another project in the nebulous consideration stage is making fanlore pages for the artists #but uploading some images for their gallery without first _asking_ is also a repost #fanlore is currently not allowing image uploads anyway tho‚ so that's an issue that's too early to be concerned with
