#PageView

[greekceltic]

OC ask thing-

In my experience small cis female OCs aren't a first choice and have to work hard to be liked, so it's always a treat when Jacky gets pageviews. I shouldn't be as surprised about Herman because he: is large > flirtatious > a dragon

[transmutationisms]

the turnitin plagiarism checker is such a snitch loser and for what. 70% of what it flags is quotes that the students have put in quote marks and cited, because they are quoting sources. and then the rest is like "uh well they said the phrase 'heliocentric model of the universe', clearly unoriginal writing" flop ass software for bootlickers

The amount of work it takes to even run a website this huge, keep it from basically exploding every other week, and just do the minimum required to follow binding laws while also making occasional improvements to that website's features is... a damn big amount of work. I've worked on some, so I've got an inkling.

Now, doing that in your free time, with a shoestring budget, while also having actual morals that much of the sales and management parts of the IT business (I feel us actual devs are split pretty evenly, but it usually isn't us that you get to talk to) simply can't comprehend, as per above?

✨ Bloody magicians. ✨

The amount of doggedness and resourcefulness and strength of principle it takes to keep doing this and doing this and doing this is fucking breathtaking. And it's so very important. (That goes for everyone doing this sort of background/infrastructure work in fandom, by the way, not just ao3. Ao3 is just very visible, and very transparent, so it's possible to know exactly how much work they do with how little.)

The midjourney stuff just reminds of when we were trying to find a new platform to host the ao3 donation form, and companies kept trying to tell me about all their "ai" features that would track donor engagement, and figure out the optimal pattern to email individual donors asking for follow up donations, and all the ways they suggest we manipulate people into staying on our websites. It was a great way to filter out who either wasn't listening to us when we described our ethics and donor base, or just didn't believe us.

Now granted ao3 is a unique case based on a) the amount of page views we get in any given time period and b) the fact that most donors absolutely do Not want to be identified as such anywhere, (the default "list of recent donors" module got nuked Immediately) but it surprised me some that the concept of "donors who value their privacy and would be furious at even the whiff of AI" is unique. Some of us really are just existing in different worlds.

4 Million Pageviews – This blog ministry has surpassed four million Pageviews since first publishing in 2012. Thank you to everyone who reads, subscribes and shares blog posts! 4 Million Pageviews One interesting fact about the number 4 million is that it is equivalent to 4,000,000, which can also be represented in scientific notation as 4 × 10^6. It’s a large number often used to quantify…

hey uh, why do reptiles not have brains in nested??

incredible. this whole time, reptiles, amphibians, dinosaurs and dragons have lacked the includes other animal heads get and have been generated without eyes, mouths, brains or skulls. in 13 years and millions of pageviews nobody's ever said a thing. i'm not taking sole responsibility for this we all let it happen

GG MASTERPOST BIG UPDATE

I've been BUSY. Here's the changelog:

New guiltygear.ru archive page

Updated Dengeki PS page with scans of the GG articles for each plus expanded info (thanks @bocchi-the-rock-fgc!!!). This includes the issues we were missing, so the archive for these is complete now.

The files for the table of contents for each Dengeki PS issue has been updated too (another thank you to Bocchi lol)

Added new buttons on the Masterpost in the "Other" section for the GameFAQs and Dengeki PS archives

Added Bocchi, kaialone, and magicalgirlfia to the archive contributors section in Other Archives

Added Terminological Concentration scans to Library (Bocchi at it again!!)

Added a GG and Blazblue Dengeki PS promo booklet the Library (thanks Elk!!!)

Added sheet music scans from the Sound Complete Box to the Other Archives page

Added Heliogenoms 3.0, Go Funk!, and Stun Grenade doujinshi to SRG Archive

Added GGX Advance Edition booklet/manual scans to Archive

Made a space in the Archive for non-GG stuff I've preserved. Added The Matrix Online Magazine and Elderfrost demo.

Fixed weird button issues on the Sitemap

Added 404 error page, splash page, and gg.ru pages to Sitemap

Updated/tweaked a bunch of coding all over the place ("return to nav" button is a big one)

There's some more stuff I'm gonna add (see all that at the bottom of the main page) but I've been working on this update for days and need a break lol. I can see the Visual Studio Code UI when I close my eyes. I'm a broke as shit nerd and the electric bill has gotten more expensive, so if you enjoy this website or the GG Masterpost, I do have a tipjar on Ko-fi and a Patreon where you can subscribe and get a bunch of goodies, but that's 100% for my art. Sol Badguy shows up sometimes though.

Anyway, that's it for now. Thanks for the 282,000 pageviews. Wild!!

You can type "new" into this to get a briefer list of just the new scans:

to be fair the intersection of GNG (not pictured) and more specialized guidelines like NARTIST (Fig. 2) is fuzzier than anyone would prefer

I don't always agree with the decisions of Wikipedia's volunteer editors, but having learned that their decision on how to handle the James Somerton situation was to deem him non-notable and turn his article into a redirect to a brief writeup of Hbomberguy's plagiarism investigation – well, like I said, this may not be a good decision, but in context it's an extremely funny one.

sorry to break my unnanounced hiatus like this, but my art was reposted on pinterest without my knowledge, consent, or credit. the poster has several thousand of followers and over a million pageviews. i'm a measly little rat with just barely over 200.

i would like to get it taken down but pinterest makes reporting uncredited art a huge pain in the ass.

FAQ (Updated 2025)

She/her | 39 | I like cats and rain. My comic: https://catswaycomic.com/ My Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/greekceltic My Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/greekceltic Other links: https://linktr.ee/greekceltic Sorry in advance if you send me a message and I don't get back to you, I tend not to stress over messages/asks. I do try to read them though, and I'm always open to being asked questions about characters or my headworld/stories. I am already aware that my art is being copied. They're blocked. Please stop telling me about it. Rest of my FAQ is under the cut >

Can I repost your work? I don't mind as long as I'm credited. I'm less okay with my work being used as a pageviews grab, but it's probably not worth my time to care. If it's something I've selected to take down and don't have posted anymore, don't. If you can't find a place I have it posted, then default assume you shouldn't repost it. If it's something you commissioned, go for it. You don't need to credit me every time you share it. Once in a while is cool.

Are you okay with fanart? What about OC interactions? Can I post it? Sure, just don't profit off of it and please credit me. If you want to draw my OCs interacting with yours that's also fine (and fun!)- though I prefer situations where their actions make sense. Alf wouldn't make your character cry, for example. He's grumpy but not cruel. Posting it is fine. Is it okay if I take inspiration from your art and concepts? I've been in a situation in recent years where another artist has taken far, far too much. It's a subject I'm pretty burnt out on. I recently saw another artist's take on this and it looked sensible to me. I'm just going to quote theirs. I have tried to find my own words, but right now I find myself more comfortable using someone else's. "Well, if you’re having to ask me for permission, either your design is too similar or you’re being overly nervous about a normal artistic process. You’re absolutely free to use my work as a source of inspiration but I’d strongly encourage you to think about the details from my design you like most, and remix them with other concepts into your own unique take."

Taking inspiration is something everyone does, but please don't become a shadow I get bi-weekly alerts about. Ideally your pool of inspiration will be many artists and concepts re-imagined into something unique to you- and that you're being honest with yourself about the result. Honestly, if you're uncomfortable crediting your source, you already know what you're doing has gone too far.

Your art is being copied! / Will you tell me who the copy cat is? I get a lot of messages about this and am tired. I'm sure if my art ends up somewhere it shouldn't be or there's something really worth my attention I'll find out through friends. Otherwise, I'm just sayin' get a second or third opinion before coming to my inbox. I probably already know about it.

I sent you a message and you didn't respond. Sorry about that. I tend not to stress about messages because it can be a drain. You're more likely to get a response if you let me know from the get go what you want, but nothing is guaranteed. Sometimes I didn't see it, sometimes I got busy or forgot, sometimes I plan to do it later, sometimes I just opted out. It's not personal. Where do you Rp? Are you looking for more partners? Discord mostly. Roleplay consumes a lot of time so these days I mostly only play with my buddy Thema. I probably wouldn't have time to play, but I like to hang around people that do and I don't mind being asked. Just please don't be sad if I never get around to responding! I'm most compatible with people who are comfortable with radio silence.

Can I use your characters in roleplay/as roleplay refs? Considering I actively roleplay my OCs and there's a potential for confusion, I'd rather you didn't. Though I think there's a difference between linking to my art and saying 'this is my character', and linking to it to say 'this has the mood I'm going for, but here's what's different about my character--'. The latter is fine.

Can I make Fan OCs for your setting? Thinking about this makes me tired. Maybe I'll get to a point where I'm more comfortable later, but for now I'd rather you didn't make something directly from my worlds. But lets be real, you don't need my permission to draw cat monsters and I take a huge amount of inspiration from ancient history. Many of my concepts are inspired by things that you can read about and be inspired too. If you see something and are curious if there's a historical source, just ask. Hopefully I'll remember.

Do I have permission to draw NSFW art of your characters? No, for a plethora of reasons, some easy to explain and some not, but I probably can't stop you. Just don't profit off of it or show it to me. Accepting that I can't stop it doesn't change how I feel about it or that my answer is no. What about vore? If I haven't explicitly given you permission to do that, I'd rather you didn't go there. I always ask a creator for permission before I go there with their OC, I'd like the same respect.

Do you have a website for your OCs? I have RP pages for them scattered all over the place and many of them are outdated, but as I type this I recently put some up on Toyhouse. https://toyhou.se/GreekCeltic

Do you have a website for your comic? Sure do. It's an expensive fuck. https://catswaycomic.com/ When does your comic update? Sporadically. I work on it when I have time. My income is solely freelance commissions and Patreon- mostly commissions.

There's other places you could post your comic! Yeah, I know. I may do that someday, but for now I like having my own house, even if it's an expensive fuck. (Not really, the renewal just hits around tax time, Lol).

I think its interesting that we tell people to "make art only for yourself!" but then also expect them to present it to a silent and (seemingly!) uncaring world. Like I have several fic ideas and at the moment, I *am* only "writing it for myself" which means it stays firmly in my brain because what's the point in pouring my heart into something to share if nobody cares? My fic is perfect and Just for Me in my mind with no risk of ever becoming lesser via attempts to distill it into something "real". People create and share art because its personal and part of a conversation with the viewer. It important to be the active participant in consuming the art, even if all you ever do is give it a like!

yeah! it's the commodification of work and effort into ✨content✨ and i'm not here for it (though i will say i am not immune to thinking about the algorithm and current markets when it comes to fanart/merch). i don't like that people are expected to create to have works available for perusal, my friend said that getting pageviews but no interaction is like having a booth and people looking at your stuff and just leaving...and they are Right

it feels like the culture of overconsumption and excess has reached fandom spaces. also this sentence feels very snooty and edgy like it's probably not that deep (but it sure feels like it to me)

i think there's something to be said for having an idea in your mind that can be perfect because it is never tangible/present in our world, and there's also something to be said for enjoying the process of trying to capture it to put it into the world. it just depends on what you think your duty to yourself is, and what you enjoy, and what you have the time and energy for.

but yeah shared artwork is a communication, especially in fandom and other community spaces. even if it's a like/kudo/upvote it's something! if someone treats you to a good meal the least you can do is say thanks for the food

someday this picture will be on the neopets homepage with millions of pageviews. and then it will be so big to where it will destroy all of neopets thats what i believe

hi, im going down a rabbit hole for a video essay, did you happen to run the turbotasticasks blog back in 2012???

SCREAMS if you've managed to connect me to A TURBO ask blog in 20 fucking 24 that is insane....

I DID run a Turbo ask blog on deviantArt back in 2012

I hadn't checked on it in ages but there are some SOLID STUPID ASS POSTS i was fucking obsessed with his ugly ass as a 14 year old (still am tbh) and I didn't realize how many goddamn pageviews this page got holy christ

There were quite a few Turbo ask blogs on dA at the time, and I was more of a crack/shitposting Turbo, so my version was off the shits insane. Eventually, the fandom died, and I moved onto Homestuck around late 2013 early 2014 and also started using tumblr more than dA! I had some great memories of shitposting, rping on the chatboards, and answering the few questions I did in the short amount of time the fandom was alive

We got some great hits in this crusty era... including but not limited to:

"I'm okay..."

And

Turbo selfcest à la 2012 tumblr sexymen ask account selfcest shipping .... THE REAL OGS REMEMBER

WE were very chummy with the onceler fandom. You could imagine the relationship between these 2 sexymen selfcest shipping fandoms to be like the unbreakable bond between early 2011-2013 era homestuck and hetalia fandoms... very very good memories indeed...

My original tumblr username was like @im-turbo-fucking-tastic and I mostly lurked and rbed art back then! I wasn't the most confident posting art on tumblr at the time (it was new and scary and full of cool older people) and it wouldn't rly be until around 2016/2017 when the homestuck obsession came back in full swing, grabbed me by the cock and swung me into a high voltage line

If you have ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, feel free to pester me. I'd love to see what you're working on!!!! I MISS THE WRECK IT RALPH FANDOM SO MUCHHHHH

Thank you for the ask <3 XD
