@astrobookwormsinger speaking: AND HERE IS THE COMPLETE THING! I tried making like a GIF of all 28 but it didn't come out well. But these all look so so good it's amazing to see, I haven't made proper art in so long it's so heartwarming to see this. Even though this isn't really high-effort art from my end😭 a lot of it was OCs, some got only 2 notes from me and my sister, and some were a real pain to make in the best possible way.

Thank you @ministarfruit for this challenge and I hope you like scrolling the tag on this blog to find all 28 of these!

And thanks to my sister (to whom this blog belongs) for letting me post here instead of my own messy blog that needs a spring cleaning sesh. You're the sweetest and I hope your own art gets all the love and more too.

And as a parting note, LONG LIVE THE SAPPHICS❤️

A few weeks ago I ran out of my antidepressants and I thought to myself: "let's see how long I can go without antidepressants" because I like challenging myself and I like doing difficult things

I cannot stress how bad this idea was. please do not be like me. I have gained nothing from this experience, I don't know what I was thinking I would gain. there is no glory in suffering

I should go take my meds

Drawing art for 3 hours and posting it through my sister's Tumblr blog cause I haven't posted art on my own (this one) for so long it feels Wrong™©® 😭😭😭

Link - it's Ghost (the silly gay Satanic band) fanart if that matters.

[astrobookwormsinger]

If anybody cares I might be unfollowing and re-following some of the accounts I'm currently following, I can't follow new blogs since Tumblr has a stupid limit of 5k for some reason so I'm clearing the list out. There are a lot of blogs that are inactive or no longer relevant to my interests that aren't really my type of thing anymore. Nothing personal, promise.

If we're mutuals/old mutuals/friends/anything else, please drop me a reply on this post so I remember to follow you.

I post occasional art which can be found at my sister's blog (since this blog is, honestly, a mess, and she has more reach than I do anyway): @chocochipjewel . She has her own art there too but mine is tagged #astrobookwormsinger for clarity.

AHHH I love that something from the vast idea in my head is out publicly and not just something only I know about!

Absolutely love the colours, especially in the background. Thank you so much for making the artwork <3

Personally this is how I draw him, if anyone is interested:

It’s official: owlcitymusic.com is now displaying a countdown timer!

[astrobookwormsinger]

ok so hiiiiiii i’m hira. what can i call you and are you okay with gendered terms of endearment like girl, dude, bro, king? cuz i use them a lot and if you don’t feel comfortable with them i won’t use them for you also because i really wanna rant about symbrock because i’ve been looking at fanart and my cheeks hurt from grinning istg

Hi this is SO INCREDIBLY LATE because I've been avoiding Tumblr a lot lately dkfjsks really sorry😭

If prefer to avoid gendered terms as much as possible, sorry if that's an inconvenience! Dude and bro are cool, my friends and I use it for everyone lmao but I prefer to avoid the others especially the feminine ones

And SHIT IM SO SORRY Hit up my DMs and we'll scream about Let There Be Carnage together if you want!! This is so late I'm so sorry😭😭

[astrobookwormsinger]

so I got into grad school today with my shitty 2.8 gpa and the moral of the story is reblog those good luck posts for the love of god

[astrobookwormsinger]

This is a post to inform people that I'm still alive and sane somehow.

That's it, you can scroll now.

some very important info re: paid accounts~

I am not a lawyer, but I can decently interpret legalese and, being as I also suffer from tl;dr syndrome and assume others may as well, I took one for the team and went through the updated TOS for the post+ accounts and highlighted (what I understand to be) the most pertinent information, which ultimately comes down to this:

You cannot monetize copyrighted works (aka charge and earn money from fanfic, fanworks, etc) and if you do decide to put your fanworks behind a paywall via Tumblr, when you are inevitably sued, Tumblr will not protect you and will not defend you and you alone, personally, will be responsible for whatever monetary damages said lawsuit results in.

If anyone is a lawyer and knows I've gotten any of this wrong, please do not hesitate to correct me/this post.

Screenshots taken from Tumblr's TOS (updated 7-21-21), Stripe's Account Agreement, and the post+ FAQs.

1. Your paid account will not be hosted by tumblr; it is routed through a 3rd party.

2. By signing up for a paid account, you're entering into an agreement with Stripe, so in addition to Tumblr's TOS, you are also bound to Stripe's TOS.

3. Stripe, like Tumblr, will not defend you or protect you against any lawsuits.

4. Furthermore, you may end up owing Stripe money (indemnify = compensate)

5. Tumblr's TOS specifically states that you can't put any content on your post+ account that violates any laws, including laws that protect intellectual property rights of others. This is super important, because Tumblr's post+ FAQ also states that you can post anything that you would regularly post on tumblr, which I'm sure many will take to mean that gifsets, fanworks, etc are fair game, since all of that stuff can be posted on tumblr now. However, the difference is, you're not making money from the fanworks you're posting or reblogging now. Once money enters the equation, the game changes.

Tumblr is making it seem like any and all content goes for post+ accounts, knowing 90% of this site is fanworks. This is not true and you'll be opening yourself up for lawsuits if you charge for fanworks.

6. Tumblr further disclaims any and all liability in any legal issues.

tl;dr: Please do not make a post+ account, bc you will be opening yourself to lawsuits and if that happens, Tumblr's response will be not our problem, you agreed to all the terms which said you couldn't do that, sorry not sorry. Please protect yourself.

I don't come on Tumblr much anyway, but you won't see me online on August 6th from 9:30 am IST till the next day.

You can't just capitalise the site which has the biggest population of socialism supporters. I'm shocked this is happening.

I don't know what we can do but we're gonna try.

The Post Plus Protest is coming! Updated Edition

WHAT ARE WE DOING?

Fill out the survey on the original Post Plus post (be polite, don’t spam, but GET YOUR POINT ACROSS that we don’t want this). Since we mean business, it’s time to hit them where it hurts; Ad Revenue.

We’re proposing a 24 hour log off as the main event of phase one.

WHEN IS THE PROTEST?

The protest starts by logging off on August 6th, 2021 at 12am Eastern Time (US). Here’s a quick chart to help figure out when you log out. AUGUST 6th, 2021  12 am Eastern Time (US)    4 am UTC    5 am BST/London    6 am Central Europe Time    7 am Moscow Standard Time    9:30 am Indian Standard Time    12 Noon Hong Kong Time/Australian Western Time    1 pm Japan Standard Time    1:30 pm Australian Central Time    2 pm Australian Eastern Time

AUGUST 5th, 2021

  11 pm Central Time (US)   10 pm Mountain Time (US)     9 pm Pacific Time (US)

THE END TIME IS 24 HOURS FROM THE START TIME!

So that means if you log off at say, 6 am Central Europe Time you’ll log back in at 6 am Central Europe Time on August 7th. We’d prefer if if there is no posting, no queues, no likes, and no reblogs during this period.

WHAT IF I CAN’T/WHAT ELSE CAN I DO?

Like this post, share it, and use the hashtags #tumblrlogoff2021 and/or #postplusprotest on ANY and ALL social media. If you’re using the mobile version, you can always leave an honest review on the app center of your choice (once again: be polite, don’t spam, but GET YOUR POINT ACROSS!).

WHY IS POST PLUS/POST+ SO BAD?

Tumblr’s primary focus is on FAN content (whether any of us want to admit it or not). Putting these kinds of contents behind patreon like paywalls is a terrible idea and the legality is NOT in the user or their subscribers favor. You can absolutely get in legal trouble for what tumblr is proposing with this new feature. There’s also the worry about the site’s (poor) security and access to Post Plus users bank information. Do you really want a site that lacks a functioning search function and whose userbase routinely get hacked to have your credit card information? No, you really don’t.

WILL THIS WORK?

Maybe, maybe not. It’s an attempt at doing something to combat tumblr’s impending self-inflicted demise.

ANYTHING ELSE?

There’s a time zone checker linked in a previous post if you need it and I’ll try to fix any mistakes to times as I find them. Keep an eye out for future posts closer to the protest date and the eventual phase two! Thank you ALL for your support so far.

Me, after being hyperfixated on Star Wars for an unhealthy amount of time (for like the third time in my life), just waiting to move on from the toxic fandom when my ADHD decides to: Please let it end, please

My ADHD brain finding another dangerous fandom to get attached to: Fine. No more Star Wars.

It's Friday Night Funkin' time.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Years everybody! I know I’m a bit late but the first drawing took a bit longer than I would’ve liked, although I hope it was worth it. I decided to update my MLP OC from last year, the second OC is my friend’s (@astrobookwormsinger), although the OC is from @just-a-creator, I thought it’d be neater to have her be half bat pony instead, if anyone is curious about what I mean about HALF, lemme know and maybe I’ll write her story in the form of a fanfic, I hope you like it, and again, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everybody.

[astrobookwormsinger]

Anyways,

MERRY

CHRISTMAS

I can't send gifs cause your ask box hates me.

Thank you so much, Secret Santa of mine! I'm sorry about my ask box 😅 And it's okay, I promise!

If you want to talk about your family, my ask box is open for vents, or you can DM me (and reveal yourself but if it will help I won't mind at all). I'm sorry you're facing tough times.
