Why is it necessary that a piece of art "condemns" or "normalizes" something. Is it not enough for art to say "here are some fucked up people in some fucked up situations for your enjoyment"? The art doesn't have to judge them and neither do you. It's for your enjoyment.

People who dont fucking understand gay tragedy couples

You people tire me the fuck out.

i genuinely hope that boop day inspires everyone to interact more with other tumblr users. because it’s clearly way more fun this way!! even once the boop button is gone, there’s still asks, tag and ask games, comments, dms, fuck it let’s bring back blog rates i don’t care. part of the reason that tumblr is dying is that its way less social than it used to be. let’s fix that!!

welcome this is an art blog

This blog is not spoiler free and I’m a multishipper

I would appreciate if minors did not follow me.Blog now may contain NSFW and my own comfort as an adult. I will block minors and empty blogs (no title, no description, no posts, looks automated).

🌸 My name is Basil. I'm nonbinary and use they/them. I don't mind other pronouns, but I use they/them for consistency.

🌸 I jump around a lot and currently I've been watching Jujutsu Kaisen. Previously: The arcana, JJBA, Transformers, MLP I might also make art of: personal things, OFF (game by mortis ghost), Undertale, ...

🌸 I tag the best I can. I'm using my tumblr blog as an organized cabinet file where I throw sketches, ideas, and art into.

🌸 I'm open for commissions. Commission info in my ko-fi or my carrd. Here is my tumblr post of my commission prices.

🌸 The best way to support me is either dropping dropping something in my ko-fi or pledging to my Patreon! I will not turn on tipping on tumblr.

My Carrd

🌸 here's where else I am:

instagram twitter/x🔞 blusky (sfw) pillowfort (sfw)

toyhou.se is where I put oc profiles (very rudamentary I have to redo character profiles)

I still love mermaids and draw mermaids as my weird half hybrid lmao but im glad people like it

I didnt delete that post when i switched over blogs so my side blog name is still on that post lol

People send me such nice messages honestly tho it's so sweet thank you

omg i saw your mermaid art and i LOVE LOVE LOVE how their upper half is also fish-colored. no human skin tone that divides sharply at the waist, or gradient fade between the human and fish parts, they're just one cohesive whole. i especially adore your merman avdol design, he looks badass 🔥💧🧜‍♂️

Thank you aha (,,> ᴗ <,,) it's how i draw mermaids or like... species lmao im glad people like it tho! I was afraid it would be off putting

This used to be my art blog but then quickly decided i wanted my main to be my art blog lmao but didnt repost my art so i just reblogged it hurrhurr

@epoch-smog is my main but im sorry im not very cohesive in theme lmao

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

"READ MY DNI" no. use your block button like an adult. i'm not scrolling through the many-paragraphs-long pinned posts of every blog i reblog something from. if you insist certain types of people aren't welcome in the notes of your posts then it's your responsibility to curate that. or choose a closed social media platform like facebook or instagram. or go and live in a barn away from humanity if you really don't like sharing the world with people who are different from you

The idea for variety is interesting but the different vibes is so wack.

Like looking at some other dating games there's like a big coherent vibe/genre to it.

One dating game (that no longer exists) was centered around like fantasy underground stuff (like hell or hades) (Idk what to call it sorry, like also werewolves and zombies and undead.) But each love interest was a different archetype you could persue. I persued this shy nerd scientist zombie man in the game lmao

Anyway, but i suppose that's what has arcana so disorganized for me. Each love interest doesnt seem to with the whole picture? Interesting

Is it just me or is every arcana love interest from a different genre

one frustrating element of the new content bans on gumroad and patreon is that they're doing it to stay in line with their payment processors' policies, which themselves are in place to stay in line with FOSTA-SESTA.

which is a law passed in the united states, a country of which i am not a citizen and in which i do not live. i was legally prohibited from voting for or against FOSTA-SESTA, but because the platforms and payment providers i use are based there, i am expected to comply with it anyway.

and the tiktok situation shows us that any platform based outside the US can and will be either blocked from operating within it or forcibly divested from its foreign owners.

this is just another facet of american empire, by the way. it's more than bombs and guns and client states: it's that the US leverages its dominance over technology and finance to set policy for, effectively, the entire world.
