I'm thinking abt that pretty fall leaves embroidery pattern post and about how like... it is categorically a repost, it's a reupload. right? a thing that is generally disliked. but because it's credited, it's genuinely boosting the artist in question.
and it could ALWAYS be like this. reposting content could ALWAYS be a symbiotic relationship, but because sourcing back to the original creator of something is so uncommon, it's just easier to ask people not to repost it at all. and people still don't understand the difference. or they'll go to the effort of cropping out usernames/signatures to repost something, which is More Effort than literally crediting the creator of something you liked enough to want to repost.
Like. I literally don't actually care if my own shit gets reposted, you have to understand. I just don't want it STOLEN. But "do not repost" is easier to write on my art than "you can repost this, but don't alter the image/remove my signature, don't you dare write 'credit goes to the artist' because that is not credit, please link back to my original post or someplace that you can actually find me. please use an actual link/url instead of writing a non-clickable link of my username, because making it text instead of a clickable link cuts the number of people who will go to the effort of visiting my own page in Half."
All those aggregate themed accounts, those fuckin annoying as hell instagrams and facebook groups that are like "body positive art we love wamen 💕 hashtag feminism" and then MASS-STEAL plus sized art created by women, if pages like these that always go and steal my older self-portraits and other works... If they just put a link to my prints of those pieces in the text of those posts, or, fuck, my commission info page? I would literally be living on the moon right now. I would have a house on the moon

Art today, but not standard art! I drew myself! In costume, which does not look very different from other Wild pictures I draw, but also I don't do pictures so this is the best you get
Lu-tober Day 31!
Prompt: Costumes!
I FORGOT MY CAPE D: I can't be bothered to go back in to re-add it, but aw ):
Speaking of capes, the amount of times I closelined myself today with my cape WAS TO FUCKING MANY. I don't know how my neck doesn't just have a red line across it. Like, putting on a bag, sitting down, trying to roll in an office chair and the cape is too long so it gets stuck under a wheel and strangles you until you can untangle yourself. Capes are impractical is what I've learned. Or maybe I just need something to pin it too
Kinda sad Lu-tober is ending, but also like THANK GOD I CAN REST

yeah so i don't think i've ever posted my face on here. but i have a couple of con selfies that i liked. so i thought why not be bold for once.
my makeup and contour had mostly come off by the time i took these rip. so they're not good pictures of the cosplay at all but listen i like them in general.

Hello! Was busy with con prep, made some pins and handed them out to a few of the voice actors there, they were absolutely lovely to chat with and a few of them gave me gifts in return for the pins I gave them! A photo from Johnny Yong Bosch l, and a photo from Ryan Colt Levy, a signed print from Wally Wingert, two signed cards from Michelle ruff (to split with my brother), and a signed button from Eric vale, they were all so nice and inspirational,,,, we actually paid for the signature from Ryan because stick wants to fill up his part 5 wall scroll with the vas of that part. And there were a few others that didn’t give gifts back but they were still an absolute delight to meet. I was really shocked to get anything at all,,, so I really appreciate their kindness!

my father was talking to this other man in the parking lot in front of our house, while i was walking towards them, and he said that he also has a child who's 15, and my father was like "also?", and he said, "yeah, like your daughter. she's 13/14, no?" and you should've seen the face of this man when he told him that i am actually 21. it's not the first time that happens but i still wonder how i should feel about it
