You know, this site is so good at keeping you in a bubble. I'm safe here from my brand of crazy escaping into the world.

Unless, of course, the funny bunny boi with the pretty moon elf lady finds me. But that wouldn't happen, right, @itsapmseymour ?

Happy spooky month💀🖤

Ok I'm posting this here because I have very few followers here and just need to fucking get this off my chest.

I'm not naming anyone, because unlike this girl, I'm not interested in canceling someone over a (mostly) personal grievance. Reblogs are turned off for that reason.

〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️

You *continue* to rant on and on about how "content creators don't owe you a conversation", while fully ignoring that your boyfriend was mutuals with me on THREE SEPARATE PLATFORMS and had every opportunity to chat with me if there was a problem.

You continue to say that I "wormed my way" into the ttrpg group, even though I was literally asked by the guy who ran the channel if I wanted to play in the BitD campaign.

You continue to bring up my one fucking moment of showing my sh, which I admitted wasn't ok and apologized for literally 2hrs after it happened.

You continue to post about all of this to your >1K followers, 5 years after it happened.

You screwed over any chance your boyfriend had of being successful in content creation because YOU can't handle the jealousy that comes from him being in the spotlight.

And it's still fucking hilarious to me that if his original girlfriend had been as petty and jealous as you are, your fangirl ass wouldn't be where you are today (since apparently everybody has forgotten that you two met because you drew fanart of him).

Oh, and to top it all off, you claim to be a fan of a woman who has been through being canceled and despises the whole idea of it, and yet you continue to do it, proudly, like that just doesn't apply to you.

I really hope someday you'll get it through your head that you and your boyfriend aren't some massive fucking celebrities, that you're not above having an adult conversation, and maybe even that you'll quit bitching about someone you've never bothered to speak to. But tbh, I'm not holding my breath.

Either way, this is the last time I'll be acknowledging your bs. I'm going to continue being a fan of the creators I like, I'm going to continue to engage with them, and I'm not going to allow your horrible attitude towards me to tarnish the love I have for horror content ever again.

Given that we're both witches:

I bind thee from doing harm. Harm against others, and harm against yourself.

I bind thee from doing harm. Harm against others, and harm against yourself.

I bind thee from doing harm. Harm against others, and harm against yourself.

By blessed earth, and darkened sea, and guiding spirits, so mote it be🖤

Breaking News: Demonic Cat Dad works hard as the hell he was raised in, gains thousands upon thousands of devoted followers, and deserves all the love, views, and treats they can throw at him.

In other news, local witch rediscovers her tumblr password, goes on massive reblog spree to the delight and dismay of her followers.

More news at 11.

I've been going over the statistics across the last eight full years of Night Mind

In those years: + 168 main content videos made + At least 129 hours of content (over 5 consecutive days) + Over 100 projects covered and explored + At least 195 stories told That's excluding the project figures during the Trailhead Research. And on the Night Mind Index, we still have all of THOSE projects published to get out into the world, with dozens more to come in just the next update or two.

I would like to know how you feel sometimes when people don’t know put your name on your artwork I see people repost your artwork on TikTok or on here and they take your name off or block it out, and the art is amazing like seriously and you deserve every amount recognition.

Oh dude, all the reposting is literally so soul-destroying, lmao. It's disheartening, it's awful, it's completely discouraging. The worst kind is when someone is selling a product with my art on it, (and I obviously don't wanna sound like I'm bragging or anything) but that unfortunately happens way too often.

I don't mind people using my art as a profile picture or even for a fic, or for inspiration for their own art. I really, really appreciate when people reach out and ask before using my art for anything, even if it is just for something as small as a profile picture. In any instance that has to do with reposting though, in general, I think the least you can do is link back to -or at the very least make people aware who the original creator is.

I think it's wonderful to get more eyes on my stuff regardless of where it is, I'd love to be able to inspire or otherwise make a positive impact on someone's life (that's the whole reason I do what I do), but I use the fan art I post as advertisement for my freelance work and to sell prints. If I wasn't posting, and if I wasn't doing it as frequently, I wouldn't get clients. So if the drawings are just floating around aimlessly and no one has any idea where they came from, then obviously no one is gonna reach out for commissions, and no prints are gonna get sold.

But yeah... There's nothing to be done about it, unfortunately, at least not anything that wouldn't otherwise hurt me back, like making my watermark much larger, or end up seeming like an awful person by having to RP as cyber-police and yell at people to "PLEASE, ADD CREDIT!!!" and such 😓

Another thing too is, whenever I do come across one of my drawings reposted somewhere and it doesn't have even a shadow of credit anywhere, reading what people are saying in the comments gives me the same feeling as if someone had made me aware that people were talking about me behind my back, y'know. Like it's something I'm not supposed to see. I know that's just my brain being weird, but it always makes me feel so oddly empty, even if the vast majority of the comments are positive.

Sorry for the long answer lmao, but TL:DR; I really, truly, dislike it, even if it's nice to know more people get to see my work.

Hi, i have a question regarding your csp brush "1RL TX" brush. Whenever i start a stroke it makes a dot, a gap, and then continues the stroke. Is this on purpose (and if so why?) or am I doing sth wrong?

Screenshot for clarification, red arrows are stroke direction:

Hello!

Unfortunately that's a weird quirk I haven't been able to iron out both in CSP and Krita. If my memory is correct, 9RL TX and the soft and hard liners also have a similar issue, though in the case of the liners the issue isn't as noticeable since the messiness imparted by the spraying effect [CSP]/scatter [Krita] hides that a bit.

My guess is that something registers that initial pen-tip-touching-screen/tablet surface as a "click", and then the rest of the pen stroke as a pen stroke, and for whatever reason that process is very noticeable when the gap between the brush tips can get that wide depending on the pen pressure. I also haven't tested these brushes with different tablets, so it could also just be a weird driver quirk? I use a Surface Pro 8, Win11,

With that said, I could also be totally off with my guess lol

In CSP, one workaround you could consider is to turn on the "continuous spraying" option for that brush. Personally I'd only toggle on that option on if you wanted to use the 1RL TX for linework as that option makes using the 1RL TX for stippling a bit annoying.

For Krita, I've yet to find an equivalent work around.

Anywho, hope that helps!
