You know what? This year may have been THE most chaotic one yet in EVERY aspect of the word - but it surely was my most productive year as well! As many emotionally ups and downs as I had, as hard it was to distract yourself from the CHAOS of the world and the justified anger, fear and frustration of the people, I can still say that my year has been more positive than the ones before! I feel different - more like...myself. MORE me. Almost complete. And I have the strong desire to show more of myself out there, to be seen and recognized for what I do and who I am, I want my work to go OUT THERE, to make new friends and find new business partners so I can finally go ALL OUT and republish my books - and I did actually form new friendships this year, more in one year than I did in the past 6 years combined, it's incredible! I stepped out there and made new friends by not even particularly DOING anything - I was just me: A pure bug nerd walking with Maybugs and wild bees on my hands through the streets - that's how I met MULTIPLE people this year.

And I gave myself the space and time to flourish artistically in EVERY direction - From Fakemon Designs to animal studies, horse illustrations, realistic styles, comic styles, personal-, fan- and Pokemoncomics, traditional animation, puppet animation, Photography, SKITS on Youtube - EVERYTHING I wanted to do I DID and I am VERY PROUD that I was able to see through and finish almost everything I started this year or had begun to work on the year before!

There's so much I still want to do and I hope to achieve next year - when I hopefully am more in power again, when my body has recovered from its current whooping cough, when I can contact agencies again. And I really hope social media will become more kind to us artists again, when we currently have to struggle so much with algorithms who want us to be influencers and content machines to post daily. That's why I'm really grateful for my community here on tumblr and the fact that it is not being dictated by an unforgiving algorithm like twitter and Instagram is. On here you actually still have a chance to be seen.

Thank you all SO MUCH for your support this year! Especially those of you, who decided to join my community on Patreon and have become part of my Discord server. You guys have lifted my spirit in ways I couldn't describe and I'm so happy to have such a kind and incredibly generous community! Truly, thank you all so much for being here!

Onward to 2024, let's hope it will treat us all with gentleness and kindness 🥹🥰💖💕

OK SO i wanna talk about this survey i made!

I posted this (and reblogged/retweeted/whatever) at the same time on all these apps. Except TikTok because i hate it and even if it won i was never going to be active there. Sorry

And the results are pretty interesting!! I’m not really surprised that tumblr won but i am surprised by how MUCH IT WON… especially considering I have more than double the follower count on Instagram (116k) and Twitter (103k). I only have about 600 followers on Bluesky and like 2k or something like that on TikTok. Neither of which have i really been focusing much of my time and energy on. All “Other” site write-ins had less than 10 (Tapas at 6). Everything else had less than 2.

Obviously twitter was going to be kind of a wash considering most people are migrating away from there, but goddamn insta got gapped. You could argue that Instagram has an unfair disadvantage with links only being accessible in stories and your bio. But so much of my posting IS with links whether it’s to a new comic update, my patreon, or my shop, so if following a link to take this survey was that unappealing for instagram users, that’s still valuable information.

I originally got my start on tumblr, that’s where Long Exposure really took off! More recently I’ve been focusing mostly on twitter and instagram, simply because i have more followers there (and I’m addicted to having a private friends-only twitter acct lmao).

Not quite sure yet what I want to do with this information, I just wanted to share it for now! I’ll definitely be neglecting tumblr less from now on hahaha 😭

As we've gotten the last episode of dungeons and daddies of the year I wanted to take a bit of time to just kind of reflect on my experience with the series and what it's meant to me since I found, this will be an obnoxious long post and will be alot about my past relationship which was in short terms, not good, so please feel free to skip this post, it's more catharsis for me than anything

Up until July this year I'd been in a relationship for seven years, from the ages of 11-18 which is what I am now, over the course of those seven years I had my resolve drained out of me until I had no friends, no social media besides instagram and was steadily pulling away from my family to the point they were like strangers to me. I binded every day and endured constant transphobia and bodyshaming because I sincerely believed we were like soulmates (both trans and both outcasted) and it was meant to be.

This is all of course bad, but one of the most sinister things he did that I wouldn't have expected was he completely disabled ny ability to enjoy things. Prior to our relationship I was a phannie, I shipped Klance, I watched sanders sides religiously, I was a blossoming furry and brony and I liked these things loudly and proudly. And he made fun of and belittled these interests until I stopped participating in each and every one of them, until all my interests were either ones shared with him or ones he deemed acceptable.

And it didn't hit me how hard that followed me out of the relationship until I had to sit down and think about what I was into, and I came up totally blank, everything I liked was either tainted by memories of him or I had stopped engaging with so many years ago I wouldn't even know where to pick it up again.

And then like Mercy descending from the clouds I decided to go back through my podcasts and pick one, just one, and I happened to land on dndads. I'd previously listened to episode one with him but it had been a resounding no on his end so I put it down and never looked back. Until now. I hit play on that first episode and the next two weeks were a complete blur as I binged every ounce of content, after I caught up on the first two seasons at breakneck pace I used my meager funds to sub to the patreon and listened through everything there as well.

It was the first time in seven freaking years I'd been this excited about anything, I was going on walks as an excuse to listen to more, I was obsessively looking for fans on tiktok and posting in the discord. I was stimming more than I had in my whole life and talking again, in a lot of ways it felt like looking at myself again, I cut my hair and dyed it blonde (totally not because of Henry) I started buying clothes that I actually liked because I felt more confident in myself.

And then after unsuccessfully hunting for a community I said fuck it and redownloaded tumblr, somehow remembered the login to this account and I posted some fanart of Scary Marlowe, honestly not expecting anything to come of it, and then it got some reblogs, people liked it and I kept posting and I made moots and I talked to people and just-

I cannot thank the daddies themselves enough for bringing me into this and I cannot thank literally every single person who has ever liked or reblogged one of my posts, especially my moots, enough. You guys seriously made what was shaping up to be the worst year of my life the best year ever, and I'm not like better, it's only been 5 months and I'm very much still shaking off his effects but things are okay, O-A-K if you will, and I'm more confident that like I will be okay if that makes sense? So just like yeah, thank you, seriously, I love this fandom and everyone in it so much and this whole not-a-bdsm-podcast thing really helped me in a very very dark time <3

#locke lore #hhhh #this might be too emotional for main but it's quarter past four in the morning and I'm tired #I love my mutuals so much u don't get it #softly kissing them all on the heqd and tucking them into bed #dndads

Blog Meta vs Tumblr Meta

When I started this tumblr, I wanted to post about game development and game design. I followed other game developers, and I posted about game design, WiP screenshots and art assets, and links to finished games. Later I started an aesthetic sideblog (reblub.tumblr.com), and posted some programming tutorials to this tumblr. Programming is not really something that interests followers who want to know when I have released a new game, or who want to reblog WiP pixel art. Then I stopped worrying and broadened the range of topics on this main blog to opinions on computer literacy, teaching programming, and contributing open source. It's my blog and you can't stop me. I might post some cooking recipes. Maybe it even helps promote my games.

If I wanted to go all-out on promoting my games, I would post a lot more visually interesting WiP stuff, and game design ideas that are directly related to games I am promoting, broken down so players who don't design their own games understand them. I would have to manually cross-post everything on mastodon, twitter, instagram, tiktok, and so on.

If I wanted to go all-out about programming tutorials, I should probably host them somewhere else. The NPF tumblr post editor does not do code blocks, or maths. I could make a series of hyperlinked pages and host them on my own domain, or I could record some screencasts and sell a course, but not on tumblr.

I don't want to do either of those anyway. I want to keep this tumblr relatively noise-free, I don't want to be my own full time social media manager posting gifs every day, and I don't want to sell webinars or online courses. I just want to keep making games, occasionally.

When tumblr enabled ads on blogs, and not just on the dashboard, I noted the lack of kickbacks for blog posters.

When Posts+ was announced, I thought about posting more gamedev tutorials. There is probably a small audience out there who would want to learn GameDev from me, but they might not be enough people to make it financially viable, and they are probably not willing and able to pay me enough. The people who are on tumblr already don't want to buy gamedev tutorial content, and when they do, they don't want to do so on tumblr.

With every new tumblr feature, I noted that it doesn't really help me write one or two posts a month. It doesn't help me publish or monetise the kind of content I want to write. The tip jar is more compatible with the way content spreads through tumblr than posts+, but it's not what I need.

The only way I can monetise a gamedev tumblr is by posting viral gifs of my game, and directing them to other platforms:

getting people to wishlist the game on Steam

promoting my itch.io page

promoting a Patreon

promoting a podcast

promoting a KickStarter

selling branded t-shirts

funnelling them into my Discord

There is no good way to monetise devlog content, game development tutorials, or long-form blog posts on tumblr.

This feels mildly concerning, but maybe it's okay. I know that many game developers started a Patreon for their podcast, a YouTube channel, a twitch stream, or a TikTok, only for that to become a larger source of revenue than their game sales. As they work on their next title, and try to drum up hype for Steam wish lists, cross-promote other games, appear on podcasts, the sales from their last game dwindle, and the revenue from YouTube ads and twitch donations grows. They are basically professional YouTubers at that point, or professional programming coaches, but without the actual game in the end, it doesn't work.

On the other hand, tumblr can still monetise me. I could decide to blaze some pretty screenshots, some .gifs, and gain followers and wishlists.

I don't know where this leaves artists on tumblr though. Tumblr is full of pixel artists who take commissions. Tumblr is full of old school oil on canvas artists. Their interests aren't aligned with the platform. Tumblr doesn't earn anything when they do commissions, and the artists don't earn anything when ads are shown on the dash next to their reblogged original content.

With all this in mind, tumblr live makes some sense.

In the mean time, I'll have a look at cohost, and I might re-work some of my drafts that require elaborate formatting into a longer-lived web site. And maybe I'll write some games!

- Coming soon - March 2024

Hello guys!!! I hope you are good today!

I have two months that i haven't done a "coming soon" post so sorry for that, but here i am with a preview to the poses that are coming this March.

I'm so excited. I love March 'cause it's my birthday month haha I don't mind getting old, i like to think about it as a new year with more knowledge and experiences so it is a positive thing for me.

Anyway... you are not here to talk about silly things like birthdays and all so, I'll be stop talking about my life, likes and dislikes and I'll go directly to the important matters...

Do you remember the survey I did these past two months? well... the winners of it are: Children poses (Patreons survey) and Couple pregnant poses (Public survey) so, as expected, they're going to be some poses with those themes this next month... For children, there will be some running poses this time, but I promise I'll be bringing some children playing poses in the future, i just couldn't do more than i did for now, but i have a looot of funny references, ideas and notes in my pad soooo, expect them for sure in the future!... and same with the couple pregnant poses... I have just a few "artistic photoshoot" pregnant poses for you this time but I have a bunch of cuuuuuter references that i really wanna bring to simslife haha. I can't wait to have some time to make them.

Beside that, I have some injured and phone poses brought from my story to you, a pack that i made as a commission some time ago and some more poses that i was thinking in publishing for February but couldn't finished them on time and they're now for March haha.

And i wanna tell you that soon I'll be doing another survey for some poses for May (i think i prefer to make survey each two months or so). So, if you have some theme suggestions, write them in the coments of this post. Coments are open for everyone and maybe they can win as a theme.

Anyway, without futher ado, here you have some pics with the new poses that are coming this next month, I hope you like them as I do:

Drumroll Please

I have recently come to the decision to share more of my fan fiction on Tumblr, hence this shiny new sideblog to collect all assorted snippets, first chapters, new ideas, so on and so forth. First order of business will be laying out all the fandoms I post for over on my AO3, and putting together a Masterlist with links to each “what if” series. My other blogs here include @triscribe for Shenanigans, @birdsandbatsofgotham for all the DC art/writings I stumble across, and @storiesfromthescribe where I only talk about my original projects.

Featured tags here will henceforth include:

-pjo (new as of 2024, I finally watched the new series and guys. GUYS. I love it so much. And I love even more that it’s inspired me to write more in a week than the past two months) The Trade AU

-star wars (originals, prequels, sometimes sequels, plus a wide swath of cartoon show characters and occasionally a reference to the live action ones too) Main Series: What-If AUs and Vod’e An and Visions

-marvel (I am first and foremost a Spidey fan, so he’s usually the one getting tossed into shenanigans with a healthy dose of GotG on the side) Avengers Nonsense Starring Spider-Man and Guardians Shenanigans

-dc (listen. LISTEN. I haven’t touched any comic to have come out in the last decade, but I would never have become a fandom person if not for the Bats, so I will make new AUs based off of their familial nonsense until the day I die) Canon? What Canon? Batfam Stories and YJ AU Assortment

-hogwarts (for all things Harry Potter, because She Who Shall Not Be Named created a great sandbox that I still love to grab and run with, usually down a road called Total Disregard of the Author) Main Series: Alternate Living Arrangements

-transformers (I’ve got knowledge from half a dozen different continuities and I am not afraid to assemble my favorite pieces into a whole new amalgamation of adventure) (catch-all series to be determined) Cliff and the Kid

-alta (I can remember blowing off a friend’s slumber party to watch The Boy in The Iceberg when it premiered, okay? My fan fic ideas for this show are not a recent development, but actually writing the dang things down and posting them is new and comes in fits and spurts) Avatar AUs

-bnha (My Hero Academia was a bit of an accidental fandom, honestly, but for a year or so it was just about the only thing I wrote for, and there’s a heap of fic on my AO3 account to reflect that) Wild Cards and Something Strange Hit Me and my Doubles AU

-misc (the catch-all, the extraneous, the fandoms I really only dabble with, hence adding an extra tag to keep them all bunched together for quicker identification) Featuring: Back Again (Merlin) and Smallest, Smartest, Youngest (Voltron) and Got to Be Joking (Ranger’s Apprentice)

-originals (which won’t appear here all that often, but since I *do* have a few pieces of my own worldbuilding creations available to read...) Scribe Sampler and The Understudy Project

Alrighty, last couple of links to other websites: Tri on Instagram, where I occasionally post my art of various fandom and canon characters Ko-fi, where one could commission a speedier update to one of my fan fiction stories they particularly love or purchase a signed copy of my self-published novel And as of March 2023, I’ve also got a brand new Patreon account, where the first pieces of big WIPs go up, and you can read the first chapter of my book Wolfen’s Rage for free.

Now then. Who’s ready to read?

#writblr #fan fiction #ao3 #triscribe #intro post #hogwarts #star wars #marvel #dc #transformers #atla #bnha #misc #tag dump #originals #ko-fi #patreon

re: your tags on the post defending people being dramatique about reblogs; whoever ghosted you over that is a dick, but also there has GOT to be a happy medium between "fuck you if you don't reblog everything you feel positively about" and "fuck you for asking for reblogs" like omg, tumblrinas plz, i am begging for like half an ounce of nuance i know this is the internet but please for the love of the blorbos stop the madness *headdesk*

I mean, yeah, I don't actually think guilt/shame is a good motivation for engaging with fandom, for a lot of different reasons, and tbh the overall tone of the post I just reblogged is probably more abrasive or something than what I've reblogged before or said myself. I mostly just reblogged this one because apparently I can't get over how hurt I feel over the whole basically-being-ghosted-by-a-long-term-friend thing (especially given that it made me feel really insane in a specifically neurodivergent way, like, "either I have massively misinterpreted literally everything about this relationship for years because I fundamentally don't understand friendship or social interactions in general, or you didn't mean anything you said to me, or you changed the rules at some point and didn't tell me").

but it's also just...deeply frustrating that even the mildest posts saying "if you don't do some very basic things to support the fanworks you like, you will start seeing a lot less of those fanworks, because those creators will get discouraged and stop producing it" gets categorized as whining or guilt-tripping when it isn't, it's literally just describing cause and effect. there are other posts scolding fan creators for expressing that discouragement or asking for a little damn engagement because we just want to feel like we're part of a community, all of which just contributes to the atmosphere of discouragement.

and it feels increasingly bizarre to me the more time I spend on Instagram, following all kinds of artists and small businesses, all of whom talk a lot about how important engagement is to what they do and how much their work lives and dies by The Algorithm and how crucial it is for people to take a few seconds and boost stuff they like because otherwise it just gets lost to the void, and I don't see the same backlash there of "well you should just be satisfied with creating for yourself, you shouldn't worry about stats, stop whining for attention, stop guilt-tripping people," whatever. granted, it's a different matter when there's money involved, because with a small business whose only source of advertising is social media, we're talking about someone's actual livelihood, but there's a huge amount of crossover with literally any artist--fanartist or otherwise--given that loads of them do also have Patreons or Ko-fi links or shops with physical items, or maybe they don't start out that way but when they build an audience organically they're able to bring in some actual money. and I've definitely seen people who aren't primarily selling things, who really are just producing art as a hobby, but still ask people to share their stuff because it encourages them to make more, and that seems to be seen as perfectly legitimate, except on Tumblr and also Reddit. fanfic is a little different because it's inherently an extremely bad idea to monetize, so there isn't the angle of "of course you want to share this so your favorite writer can keep food on the table!" but it doesn't seem like a huge stretch to say it follows a similar principle, right? if you like it, it just makes sense to support it in some small way, because then you're more likely to keep getting it? and if you don't make any effort to support it, then you can't complain when you stop getting it? (making this very basic point got me downvoted on r/Fanfiction because of course it did.)

and, I don't know, I personally get really discouraged begging for reblogs, and it would feel a lot better if I didn't have to. not even just my own fic (although, yes, especially that), but original posts about helpful resources or awesome Kickstarters or fic recs or cool free games or "hey this artist is doing charity commissions, look at their awesome art, please reblog so they can raise money for this important cause" mostly just all kinda fall into the void. not that I'm at all unique in that respect, obviously; anyone who doesn't have a big audience deals with that frustration (while people who do have big audiences get to deal with different problems, as I understand it, although I certainly wouldn't know from experience). it just sucks, you know?

So, uhm... Hi. (Patreon)

Been a while, hasn’t it? I’m not even sure if everyone and everything is still alive over here, it’s like I’m back from some black hole with no knowledge about current events.

You could say a lot has happened since last year, but also nothing at the same time. I’ve been pretty stuck creatively as always, trying to fight through some stuff etc. etc. I actually logged on Tumblr for the first time in an age right now, tonight, just to check things out. So here I am!

Despite the lack of art, Ive posted anything I’ve managed to scribble out on my Instagram, but that’s been about it. So it’s been a bit tiring on that part, as I do have a lot of ideas I wanna draw involving both original stuff and fanart, but lacking to do so due to everything.

However! Other than saying ‘Hi’ and twitching a bit to show I’m still alive, I guess I can also mention that after years, I’m finally working towards getting a Patreon! For once I want a place where I feel like I can post everything I make completely unhinged and just let loose with my ideas and guilty pleasures.

I’ll probably make a more decent post about it, revealing more information and the tiers I wanna include. For now I think I’ll start with three tiers where the prices will range from $2-$30.

If this sounds like it would be of interest to you, stick around! I’ll make sure to keep people updated on several platforms for once!

#Mieran Writes #I'm not dead!#Patreon #I'll probably reblog this post a few times just in case #Then I'll write an info post

From Jewitches on Instagram

Who am I if not driven by the love of Humanity and my Fellow? Pessimism and cynicism is no longer my guides as they were for so many years. Do you remember those Tumblr posts that reveled in the small moments of humanity; how we wrap each other in our arms to show our love, decorate our homes with shiny things, watch the stars and wrap ourselves in cocoons of soft things to rest? Seeing the worst of humanity reminds me that we are more than it and that it is our sanctified duty to center love at the heart of our work; to stand against these ideologies that try to separate us from one another.

Some of this is an excerpt from a Patreon post wherein I talk about how I’ve been in communication with members of my community (Jewish & non-Jewish) and how our conversations form the bedrock upon which we build our beliefs.

My conversations with willatheewisps discussing bell hooks theses on love have infinitely shaped how I think of the world. How I must love humanity more than I revile some humans actions. don’t know if I have a coherent thesis to add to the end of this other than: you cannot claim love of humanity and actively turn away from the attempted decimation of entire peoples.

Question for people doing inktober or other October art challenges

So a bit of background, I’m doing an art challenge this month of filing a sketchbook with sketches of black cats. There are 52 pages which means doing more than one sketch a day. You can see them over on my art blog @carrieleblancart . Some people don’t consider them sketches, but I do.

Here’s my question: is the art that is being made for inktober or other art challenges supposed to be finished pieces or sketches or somewhere in between? I’m sure this is entirely up to each artist, but I’m curious. Do people think about how much time each piece will take and manage their time accordingly? I realize that some people will start making the art way ahead of October, so I guess I’m curious of how common that is as well.

Here is where I am at: I have scheduled pages 31 and 32 to post later today, but that is as far ahead as I currently am in the sketchbook and plan to make 2-3 sketches a day for the remainder of the month. Each sketch takes me about a half hour, so an hour or two of my day is dedicated to this challenge.

On top of the art making, since today’s social media takes priority for short format videos, in order for my art to be seen I also need to record myself making the art, edit each video, find an appropriate music track or ‘sound’ (typically one that is trending) and post it to the various websites including: Patreon (which is early access so many members see it immediately and then goes public at the same time as the other websites), Instagram, Facebook (luckily is connected to Instagram so that happens simultaneously), TikTok, YouTube, and Tumblr (of course, our precious hellsite). I haven’t yet kept track of the time it takes to edit and post the videos, but it is not insignificant if not takes longer to do than the art itself. I’m still looking for an app or something that will make this easier but haven’t found one that does all the things.

I guess I’m also curious how other artists manage their “content creation” and posting, as I’m always looking for new ideas.

Closed Captioning Spotlight #5

Hi everyone, it’s been a while since I did once of these.

For those who don’t know, this is a series where I showcase YouTube channels with closed captioned videos. This special posting segment will be once in a while or once a month if I’m consistent. I’ll be showcasing my favorite channels that have at least close to a third of their released videos CC’d as a rule of thumb to myself.

The next channel I’m showcasing is:

Nino’s Home

According to the About page:

Hi, I'm Nino Nino's Home is my new channel, I will upload new videos on this channel. Please subscribe to support me. Thank you! All the recipes and dishes I have made are referenced and learned on the internet, youtube, google... I'm not the first to make them, not the first to create a certain dish. . I just change the ingredients to make the dish suit my taste. And I just hope my video has an easy way to communicate so that you can successfully make the dishes that you like. If anything bothers you, I sincerely apologize. And the last thing I am not a professional chef. I'm just a normal person, thank you.

What definitely caught my eye was his sense of humor. If you read the captions, especially in Vietnamese or in English, you’re in for a treat.

One of the first videos I watched from the channel is

Best Street Food - Vietnamese Pizza [No-Oven]

youtube

I have made this before and it is delicious. Granted I didn’t have all of the ingredients and had to make some adjustments and burned my first one, but don’t worry. I made a second one and it was tasty. I will redeem myself soon.

Last time I checked, almost every single video has closed captioning in more than two languages.

Their latest video as of this post is

Chocolate Milo Pudding in 15 minutes (2 ingredients)

youtube

So what do you think?

Feel free to check out the channel and their videos. As of now, they don’t have a Patreon so watching, and/or commenting is a way to support them. If you have the means to do so, you can buy a Super Thanks to the YouTube Creators.

And I’ll see you all in the next post. Bye everyone! Be sure to eat, to drink some water/liquids, and take a break/get some sleep!

P.S. Status of the next video transcript: need to create the Google Doc first before recreating the Tumblr post

It’s been 5 years...

I doubt anyone will read this. But I’ve decided to restart my blog.

As I’m sure everyone knows, Twitter is going to shit. I’ve been seeing many talk about moving to Tumblr, I’m not sure why...Twitter and Tumblr are two completely different things. However, the talk of Tumblr has gotten me thinking about how I used to enjoy writing about my photography process. Whether anyone read them or not, it used to be an outlet for me to talk about what I enjoy doing.

I’ve been looking at options for awhile now for what I can use as a blogging platform, and my mind keeps coming back to Tumblr; the place where my thoughts on art and photography began.

Places like Instagram or Twitter don’t allow for an artist to talk about their process...they’re simply places to share pretty photos and cheesy quotes. I’ve looked into other blogging platforms such as Blogger and Wordpress...but I don’t want to learn a new platform. I want simplicity and a place I’m familiar with.

My photography has changed over the years. For one, I’ve switched to 100% film photography. I’ve always shot film, but I’d also mix it with digital. Now I might use my digital camera to test lighting (specifically flash). So, other than some BTS photos, my work is 100% film which I develop and scan myself.

Because I shoot exclusively film, my conceptual work isn’t as prominent as it once was because I try to capture my work in-camera. So my concepts have to take more into consideration if I can successfully do something in-camera rather than relying on Photoshop. The price to do this is higher, therefore conceptual work is uncommon from me. I still sketch concepts, and have many that I’d like to do...I just need the budget to do so. People have suggested a Patreon...but I don’t think I’d get much support.

I know concept work can be done cheaply...but I’m just too particular when it comes to outfits and props. Concept work for me just takes a lot of time.

Speaking of outfits, I’ve taken up sewing. Over the years I’d struggle to find the right outfits with the right materials...so I decided to learn how to make what I want instead of scouring vintage stores. This is another condition as to why my conceptual work isn’t as frequent...I’m just now at a place where I feel comfortable showing my sewing abilities. But, now that I am comfortable with my sewing abilities, maybe I can bring more of my concepts to life.

Anyways, that’s where I’m at right now.

So what should you expect from this blog?

This will be a place where I talk about my photographic process, such as lighting, camera settings, why I chose a specific film, bts photos, etc...

I’ll try to post at least once a week. I have 5 years of photography to talk about!

About Me

GENERAL

I am an ambiamorous, agender, bisexual artist within the aroace spectrum. My pronouns are they/them, xe/xem, ve/ver, and ze/hir. I'm not openly queer in real life. Although, I would describe this more as laziness to explain than being closeted.

I am also a pagan witch with a primary focus on reconstructionist Gaulish Polytheistic beliefs; however, I do have some level of syncretic religious views. As such, I don't limit myself to the Gaulish pantheon. I'm also a demonolater, but I am not a Satanist. For the sake of respect, please don't interchangeably use the two terms when referring to me. I may not be as active in my religious routines as I wish, as I am still in the broom closet and need to be discreet. If I know you in real life and have told you about this blog, please don't tell anyone else about my actual religion. I'm trusting you with very vital information.

I do not tolerate anti-theism of any kind, including those directed at the Judeo-Christian God, so please zip your mouth and block me if you can't help yourself from insulting any deity.

BLOG SUBJECT MATTER

This is primarily going to be a fandom focused blog. I will share posts (original or reblogs) related to my interests. I'm an artist and a writer. Thus, I may submit the occasional fan art or fanfiction. I'm pro-fiction and against censorship of fictional works as a result. Please keep this in mind. I will write and draw about "problematic" ships.

I also create original works that feature original characters. Artwork and general information related to them will be submitted on this blog, but their written stories are locked away in my private blog. Chapters that might violate Tumblr content guidelines will not be posted here. They will be hosted on my Patreon instead.
