#been on Tumblr over 10 years

.

#(huge relieved sigh) #I'm emotional over the little community that I get to participate in here #been on Tumblr over 10 years #been in multiple fandoms that I've made content for #and this is the first time I've experienced this level of interaction and community #first time I've had mutuals and had that actually mean something #I'm still terrified of unknowingly doing something rude or wrong or annoying (which is why I struggle so much to tag people) but #idk I'm starting to feel braver #I'm actually getting emotional thinking about it #sorry I'm just #maybe rereading symphony and noticing how lonely Violist-chan is has got me focused on how lonely I am too #and yeah it's not like I'm anyone's actual friend on here but just being able to interact and participate and be welcomed is... #idk #there's this gnawing ache in my chest all the time but this little community brings me sparks of joy that I haven't felt in a long time #sorry ignore me I'm just #i don't know #I'm trying to express my gratitude but I'm not doing a very good job #if anyone actually reads this just know I'm trying to say thank you for being nice and for letting me be feral over turtles with you #and i hope you're all having a good day

I’ve been in a pretty severe art block (again), a lots been going on with my mental and physical health and it’s made doing anything creative near impossible - but something that always makes me feel better is revisiting old art. This drawing is over 10 years old (from February 2013, apparently - thanks deviantart) and I didn’t have the skill (or the patience, or the materials) to actually “finish” it then and I remember being disappointed that I couldn’t get down what I envisioned. It’s closer now, I enjoyed exploring it again!

Also, at the time, I was using Microsoft PowerPoint to add my username because I didn’t have any kind of image editing program yet, which of course exported the drawing in absolute ass quality. I would probably be able to track down a less deep fried version without the obtrusive “watermark” but it didn’t seem worth the effort, and it does amuse me the methods my 14-year-old-self was using just to avoid the ugly DA watermark and feel professional.

I made a literal willow brush but ended up not using it

Fuack the duck is here!

Since I jumped straight to the next Pal, Fuack deserved special love, so I put more effort into this drawing. But since I couldn't think of an epic pose, he got a cute one... with flowers and grenades... Normal Pal stuff (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧

I wish more people understood that Sega / Sonic Team carefully scrutinizes and approves every single issue of the IDW comics before they get printed and release, down to characters' facial expressions.

This isn't like the wild west of the 90s where people like Penders were allowed to do whatever they wanted. Scripts and storyboards are sent to Sega for approval multiple times for every issue. And the IDW team has to make the requested changes before it can print. One example that has been specifically mentioned was when Amy hugged Sonic in the "Chao Races and Badnik Bases" arc. Evan originally drew a little blush on Sonic's cheeks. Sega said "no" because Sonic doesn't show that much vulnerable emotion, and so Evan had to revise the panel to remove the blush. The oversight is that finite. Absolutely NOTHING gets put in the IDW comics that is against Sega or Sonic Team's ideas for their characters and brands. Like it or hate it, but that's simple fact.

So when you hear, "Sega wants to bring the comics and games (and potentially the shows) under the same canon umbrella" — yeah, it makes sense! Because while Sonic Team might not be crafting the comics themselves, they ARE overseeing their creation and are approving every story beat and facial expression contained within. They know exactly what is happening in the comics, are actively working to keep them in line with the current vision for the Sonic brand, etc. If they're working to keep them in line with their current vision for the games anyway, why NOT tie them all together? Especially when the comics have helped bring a new generation of kids to the franchise (similarly to how the movies did) while also being compliant with the games (unlike the movies). It just makes sense.

I understand that people who are perhaps more used to stories about what the Archie comics were like in the 90s might have reservations. But for good or for ill, the IDW comics are a completely different beast, despite having a lot of the same crew. I'm not saying Sega are overbearing evil overlords who don't let the IDW team have any fun (personally I think it's clear the team has a lot of fun working on the comics), because hell, they let a zombie pandemic arc happen. But I am saying that nothing that happens in the comics happens without Sega's express approval, right down to whether Sonic is allowed to blush when Amy hugs him or not. You still don't have to like the comics, everyone has different tastes and that's cool. But just know that the comics are Sega-approved panel by panel, so if you have an issue, take it up with them. Ultimately, they're the ones who get final say.

#IDW sonic #also Ian Flynn has been working on Sonic for almost 20 years now #since iirc he started in the aughts? so it's at least been over 10 years #it's no wonder Sega trusted him with Frontiers. he has a LONG professional history w/ them #regardless of what an individual thinks abt his writing - Sega likes him #as a writer and a colleague apparently. & since Sega owns Sonic #their opinion matters most 🤷‍♀️ #but yeah I haven't loved every aspect of IDW #Shadow being Like That & Belle are my biggest gripes #(also Mr Needlemouse had way too short a stay) #but I recognize that this wasn't done behind Sega's back. they approved all of it #i just wish others had the same understanding #inspired by a post comparing Ian Flynn to a fan as if he's a rando on tumblr #and not someone who has been working with Sega / Sonic Team for almost 20 years lmao #i usually don't vague & I don't want to fight so i just. made my own post. #but yeah it's a little baffling how this is just . . . missed sometimes #sth

i've been taking a little time off-dash to devote more energy to activism for palestine, but rest assured i am indeed still here. in fact, tomorrow is a very special day for me, ash, this whole au, and this blog. tomorrow isn't just halloween, it's also my official 13th anniversary with ash and the pkmn omens au ( working title for shan canon / the shanmarillion ) sometimes i really have to sit and digest that; thirteen entire years dedicated to the same character and the same project. i wouldn't change a day of it, despite all the crap ash and i have been through together, he has brought me so much joy, helped me to learn so much about myself and the world around me, and has connected me with so, SO many incredible people. and i fully anticipate to keep it up for another thirteen years and beyond. hopefully i will have some new doodles or writing to celebrate the occasion, and i invite you all to celebrate with me, too. one love, dear friends 💖 as always, raise hell, praise ash! 🤘⚡

#ooc tag tba . #to think i am also still very close with the very first tumblr mutual ash ever had. over 10 years of friendship #so so so many lasting friendships forged. all through this doofus. how wonderful. how sacred a thing #so much love to you all. whether you've been here with me for years or just a few days. have a blessed one folks xoxo

[karamazovanon]

not being able to reply to posts from a sideblog is actually evil. like i can kinda understand not being able to like from a sideblog because it's one tap/click etc etc whatever. but not being able to REPLY???? cruel

#and even if you just make another whole account just so you can like/reply you cant easily switch between them esp as an solely mobile user! #like ive been on tumblr for somewhere around 10 years and ive seen some bizarre decisions made. anyone else remember fanmail #but this has ALWAYS GRINDED MY GEARS #reblogging a Whole Post with additions gets so long and i dont want to put the same fuckign post on yalls dash 20 times yk #okay rant over #anontalks #finally got time to draw. too tired to draw. woe

After terminating my account for “sexually explicit content” that I didn’t post, Tumblr forced me to follow 3 blogs before I could finish creating my new account. This was one of the blogs Tumblr suggested to me.

@staff ?

#tumblr is inconsistent about enforcing community standards #tumblr hates its users #had an account for 10 years and lost it over nothing #tumblr has been ignoring every email I sent them about this issue

[wilhelmsbee]
