somewhere on a long dead forum there's a link that no longer works to a mod to a game nobody plays that would be a valuable contribution to the way people see level design if it got a chance to be seen. somewhere on a website that gets 15 monthly visitors there's a webcomic that woulkd inspire and resonate with you and change your life even in a small way if you could just find it. somewhere theres a music artist that would inspire you for years to come but their work just can't manage to be seen online or off. theres so many things that would change your life that just can't seem to rise to the surface and remain undiscovered and forgotten. or maybe never shared

I've been called a cop over it but sharing around uncredited art with no source links or attribution, especially when it's made by independent creators, is fucking shitty! I do not fuck with you even a little if you do that!

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

So I just saw a post by a random personal blog that said “don’t follow me if we never even had a conversation before” and?????? Not to be rude but literally what the fuck??????????

I’ve had people (non-pornbots) try to strike conversation out of nowhere in my DMs recently, and now I’m wondering if they were doing that because they wanted to follow me and thought they needed to interact first. I feel compelled to say, just in case, that it’s totally okay to follow this blog (or my side blog, for that matter) even if we’ve never talked before.

Also, I’m legit confused. Is this how follow culture works right now? It was worded like it’s common sense but is that really a thing?

there’s something that’s incredible about the intersectionality and flexibility of werewolves as metaphor.

anger issues? werewolf. intrusive thoughts? werewolf. unresolved trauma? werewolf. rejection by society? werewolf. autism? werewolf. transgenderism? werewolf. queer expression of any sort? werewolf. plurality? werewolf. dissociation? werewolf. repression of any sort? werewolf. abuse cycles? werewolf. emotion so strong it physically changes you? werewolf!!!

really doing it all

Hi friends, me again

i’m finally out of the negative in my bank account (yay!!!!!!)

however as if to spite me, the universe has made my hearing aids give out regularly. so, i am saving up for a new pair. insurance only covers so much of the cost, and hearing aids are expensive.

i cannot do my job/function without hearing aids

please rb if you’re unable to commission/donate!! every little bit helps!

Goal: 0/800

commission info under cut:

prices:

$30 for 1” cabochon center earrings - +$15 per 1” size up

$18 for one chicken - $30 for earring pair or two individual chickens (can be sitting or with legs out)

$15 for up to 1” flat brick stitch earrings (+$7 for fringe) - +$5 per 1” size up

$15 for 1-2” beaded hoops (depending on complexity)

$25 for 1-2” keychain (flat stitch)

$15 per hour for full flat stitch pieces

TOS:

i do require a 40% deposit for items over $45, to cover material cost and to secure your commission. the rest will be due once the piece(s) are complete.

you don’t have to be indigenous to wear/own my art, but please respect that it does come from an indigenous artist and therefor is indigenous art, be respectful of the tribes you are showing appreciation for by buying my art (Mvskoke (Muscogee Creek Nation) & Tsalagi (Cherokee Nation)).

i take cashapp and venmo, shipping to US and Canada only at this time. shipping is usually $5, but can be more if more than one item is being shipped together.

unsure if i’m able to do what you’re wanting? ask!! i’m always up for new ideas and challenges.

want to know what bead colors/cabochons/other materials i have? feel free to message me!!
