(Even though I like autumn most) Just your local dork. multi-fandom blog. Currently obsessed with Kacchako. My art tag: #myart

Howdy Do!~

(Creating this post to pin it at the top)

Hello, and welcome to my blog! I'm here to just have fun and be silly. This place is kinda my escape from reality most of the time :)

I'm multifandom, so you'll find me jumping from topic to topic, but I also draw and animate from time to time. (I also tend to hyper-fixate on various things months at a time)

(Topics can range from video games, music, art/animation, animes/cartoons, comics, fanfiction, shipping, and generally things I find fun.)

I'm currently obsessed with the ship kacchako

You can find my art under the tag #myart

I try to tag things appropriately, but if you notice anything I've missed, don't be shy, let me know!

Also, I have a Bluesky account - (18+)

hey folks if you have an android phone: google shadow installed a "security app".

I had to go and delete it myself this morning.

And several others as well. Clear data, disable, uninstall if you can.

Heads up, you can't find this app by searching for it in the app store either, though clearly many have tried. You have to directly clink the limk above to see if it's installed to uninstall it.

its kind of really awesome to be a huge fan of ur friends art because then they become famous to you. its not exactly the same as making friends with an artist u already look up to its like if michaelangelo was relatively unknown and posted his art to 1 discord server and his tumblr blog. and you just have to sit there like i need people to understand how cool you are. why aren't you being asked for autographs yet

If you’ve ever wondered how reposting hurts artists- yesterday I found a post from 2012ish featuring one of my Sherlock/Doctor Who pieces. That post had 17,604 notes. It wasn’t my post. My post of that art had 0 notes.

Apparently I saw the post once when it was at 6k because an artist I admired reblogged it, but at that stage I was very unwell & not experienced enough with Tumblr to realise what effect it might have.

Looking through the notes now I see that in the six years since then-

  • Several people got the design as a tattoo.
  • A number liked it enough to want custom designs but didn’t know how to contact me so that’s approximately £300 I didn’t get a chance to earn.
  • Someone used that art in the front cover of a comic by accident and while the company fixed it after I contacted them that’s exposure that it’s far too late to capitalise on now.

If you like an artwork that you find off tumblr, please, please I am begging you search for the artist’s name and see if they do actually have a Tumblr you could reblogged from instead. If you’re an artist search your username(s) every so often to see if your work has been taken.

A few hundred quid might not seem like a lot, but that’s a few months of income for me

Reminder to those new to tumblr that there is a difference between reposting and reblogging.

Reposting is where you save the image, make your own post, and share to others. Heavily frowned upon unless you 1. get permission from the artist and 2. still give proper credit to the artist. If the artist is off-tumbr and you want to share, again, GET PERMISSION FIRST! If they say no, oh well.

Reblogging is just using the reblog button (the button with the arrows) to share posts you see. In this case reblogging is actively encouraged because it can help spread the art of people you love while the artist still gets notes, views, and proper credit.

Love love love characters that present themselves as emotionally open social butterflies but the more you see of them the more obvious it is that they’re the most closed off fuckers in the story. Sure, they want to help you with your personal problems and messy emotions, but if you turn that shit back on them, they’ll shut down or deflect every time. Why are you sticking your nose in their business anyway? It’s not like it matters. They’re not a person, they’re just a role being played. They’re the guy who fixes things and saves people. Please ignore the man behind the mask, he’s fine. Everything’s fine.

screaming, crying, throwing up, as I force myself to write a story i'm very passionate about and love writing and have no obligation to write except that i want to
