Just saying this to let everyone know: we don't care, or mind really, if you reupload or 'steal' the images we post. If you do repost them we just ask that: you credit the source of said photo like we do.

I don't understand how Peter is trans. Sorry, I like sticking things to canon.

Good news if you like sticking things to canon! There are 60 years of comics published by Marvel Comics. Bye!

I apologize for being pretty silent the last few days. It's shark week for me, and it's been kicking my butt nonstop. I have been chipping away at a few things, doodling for babytwo related asks I've been sitting on for a hot minute that I'll be posting later on down the line. I wanna start on them early so they'll be ready to go at the appropriate time.

@the-coments-jester You know what this is for >;D

Sims 2 "kiosks" aka: Someone stole my code and I am not happy

Okay, I'm gonna be honest about this because it's seriously bothering me. I hesitated to say something about this for a long time because I do not want to platform that code thief. I'm also not a fan of drama, I know how stressful that is for all parties and I normally try to stay out of it. Unfortunately, this theft just keeps coming back and seriously upsetting me so I have to say something about this.

My code has been stolen. To be exact: the vendor code from Sun&Moon. To be specific: a very specific version of the Laundry mod.

And by stealing, I mean passing off someone else's work as their own and encouraging others to utilize said stolen code.

Who did it? @sissysims

Sissysims stole the vendor code, made it into a "template" and even made a tutorial telling people how to use said template to make a "kiosk". After the publication, a number of people created "kiosks" using this stolen code. Notably: @simulationprincess and @grilledcheese-aspiration. I do not blame them from thinking it is a neat concept. Because it is. That's why we built those vendors.

It is seriously upsetting though to see our work going fully uncredited and sissy-sims receiving all the credit and praise. I have tried leaving a comment under her youtube video, but she must have hidden or blocked it, as it does not show up at all. She has also disabled private messages on her Tumblr. Basically, there is no way I can get in contact with her directly. So unfortunately, I feel like this is the only way to get my message out: in public.

But how can I verify that this is stolen code?

Good question. I have recorded a little video with my proof. One-take, no editing. Should she choose to try to scrub her evidence, it will remain up.

So why am I this upset about it?

I am upset because of a variety of reasons:

Somebody is passing off my work as their own. Not only disrespecting me, mind you, but also the others who contributed to the vendor, most notably: the amazing people who translated that vendor. Yes, it is because of translations that I know that she directly stole our work. She not only stole my code, she had the nerve to steal my own words as well! I can literally see the Dutch translation that I wrote myself in there and if that isn't pissing and shitting on my head, I don't know what is

Sissysims does not know what she is doing object-creation wise. The Sun&Moon vendor code is among the easiest Sun&Moon code there is. It is simple and elegant. She decided to make it a mess requiring multiple files for some guobforsaken reason. Possibly to make it seem like it isn't straight up stolen code, who knows. Just speculating. Regardless, someone who knows what they're doing wouldn't have done what she did to that poor vendor.

Sissysims does not have the basic knowledge of how BHAVs work. The vendor code she stole uses custom globals, (something that we always clearly indicate). Naturally, she does not seem aware of this. Anyone using her "template" (read: what did she do to my darling vendor 😭) risks getting bugs because sissy-sims is incompetent and doesn't know what she's doing

Sissysims is encouraging other people to use stolen code that she herself does not understand

This is an explicit violation of the Sun&Moon policy. And also probably why she didn't bother even mentioning us. Other "edits" she has done are credited. She chose of her own free will not to bother crediting.

If she has done it to us, who is to say she won't do it to someone else in the future?

She has a fucking merch store and clearly has aspirations to earn money from her Sims videos, monetarily profiting from - among other things - the stolen code.

So what now?

If you want to create a "kiosk", please don't use that mutilated template. Just reach out to me and I can teach you how to make a vendor. It's easier and technically set up much better than sissy's poor excuse of a "template". And if it turns out the vendor doesn't do exactly what you would like it to do, then I can help you figure out how you can code something that does tick all the boxes.

If you already made one, I kindly, humbly, request you add credit. It is quite upsetting to see my work going uncredited. Or better yet: reach out as well. The offer to teach you the vendor code to make something better is also open to you. I enjoy teaching people new things if they only ask politely and are willing to learn.

If there is enough interest, I can even release an official vendor template with instructions. Simple to work with, the only requirement being proper crediting. Let me know if you'd be interested in this.

If you're sissysims:

Reconsider your choices and most importantly:

i was extremely sleep deprived yesterday when i discovered the dragon survival mod which was LIFE CHANGING when you're on three hours of sleep so of course i made a whole custom forest dragon texture in one day about it. and. just for fun, some concept art i made for it:

[creation-help]

On a more serious note. Do you understand how it feels to never see fat people outside of a rare few people championing for representation unapologetically. Or negative news. We are always seen when something horrible is said about us. I see fat people acknowledged when people talk about fatphobia. I see fat people acknowledged when there's a negative stereotype in fiction. I see fat people acknowledged when it's about weight loss. And weight loss. And weight loss. And the obesity epidemic.

Do you not feel exhausted. Do you not feel dreadful. I heard a fucking weight loss pill ad from the radio. On the bus. I couldn't tune that out. It's everywhere. Do you not feel hurt? Do you not stop for a second and think, Hey. Where are all the fat people. And WHY. Please think about it. Just think about it at least. Everyone is skinny. Everything is about skinninness. "Beautiful" Is about Skinny. "Healthy" is about skinny. "Good person", "Wealthy", "Normal" is made about skinny. Is this not endlessly exhausting and horrifying.

I'm tired. I'm really tired.

the other thing about being disabled in academia is everyone is like "yeah we can't do much about the buildings they're old :/" as if "old" being a synonym for "inaccessible" isn't just a constant reminder that the people who built the school did not imagine that someday someone like me might study there

MANA(mod): Oh yeah here’s the Jessa piece I was mentioning. So cringe .. but yeah ,, I didn’t felt motivated enough to properly finish it. Just for the team to go all ghost. The prompt was burden so ..

[ask-spiderpool]

Heyy just checking in to see if you’re doing okay! Not tryna like ask for more content or anything especially if you’re not in the mindset. Just a hey how you been?

Hi anon! Bless you for checking in! I've been getting quite a few of these asks trying to poke me in the last few days - but this is by far the kindest one. I'm doing okay. The sun is shining - I'm surviving - I have a lot going on this year. I haven't been divulging on social media very much, but – the people closest to me know how insane this year is for me.

But the truth is - when it comes to drawing and writing - I'm facing one of the most upsetting cases of burnout I've ever had. All of my medical trauma over these past two years have really taken it out of me - and I just can't seem to get the juices flowing like I used to. It feels like I'm a fruit tree - and normally, I have very fruitful years – but this year, I won't be producing much fruit. And I think it's justifiable - my body has been through a lot. I just have to hope I'll be more fruitful next year.

TL;DR, this duck video.

Update: So it's been almost a month, things have gotten a little better. I do apologize for my hiatus post being so sudden and out of the blue...It was a build-up of personal things going on, and the icing on the cake was that I got laid off that day. My previous job was relocating to a smaller place and therefore had to downsize the staff, which included me and two others, and with my anxiety that made me flip out a bit ^^;

But since then, I found a new job and been trying to adjust to the new routine and work hours. I only just started on Monday officially, and I think my first week went well. I come home earlier now, which is nice. I'll keep the family issues brief, but tldr, I keep the toxicity out to where I'm now hardly in contact with certain family members anymore and I can finally breathe. On a better note, I've been outside more, going on walks and hanging out with friends more often. I recently went with a friend to Knoebels Resort during their opening weekend and had a blast, I also applied to work as a ride operator there during the summer weekends, so I'll be busy. I'm not ready to come back 100%, probably not for awhile yet, at least not with art, as the enjoyment I got from making art still remains elusive to me, I haven't touched ibispaint since April 19th...My hope is that the longer I'm away from drawing, the more I might miss it and will want to return. Until then tho I wanted to fill y'all in on what's been happening and how it's been going.
