i'm moving!
hi all :)) it's been a little while since i've been very active on this blog, and whilst a good chunk of that is chronic illness/job related, another big part is that i've been really struggling with my own tagging systems, to the point it feels like work just to reblog something properly. this is primarily because the theme tagging system for this blog evolved as i did, and a lot of the tags i used to use on her became superfluous, or repeated, and despite how many i have i still struggled to find stuff!
in addition to that, because of the way the tumblr editor used to work, the way i added images to posts would randomly add blank image descriptions to the pictures that just said 'image' and i couldn't change them, which made the webs look very ugly on mobile and also inaccessible to people using screenreaders or with sight issues on any browser, which is the opposite of what i wanted. thankfully, this has now been fixed for new webs, but is unfixable on the older webs which is a real bummer :(
so, a couple of weeks ago i randomly decided to do something about it. and i did! a few of you have noticed that a new blog, @otheraraekni, has been reblogging some of my webs and adding image descriptions in the reblogs, but i've also been remaking some webs as well with the alt text finally working as intended. i've made a new navigation page for my blog organisation, full of some tags i've kept, some i've slightly changed, and a whole new kind of tags for those i use most often. currently all the links on there will lead to this blog (so some of them will lead nowhere, as they may be new tags) but my intention is to switch urls.
so -- moving? in a day or so (once i've got the last kinks worked out) i will be turning my otheraraekni blog into araekni, and this blog into an archive. because araekni is a sideblog, i don't really have the option to just attach it to an old email and set it adrift, and i'm hoping not to have to get notifications from it forever, so in a month or so it will be deleted.
why a month? hopefully that will give everyone time to save any webs they like from this blog that i haven't decided to move over to what will be the new araekni! obviously, a good portion of the followers on this blog are from a couple of years ago when i was posting webs much more regularly, and i am not at all expecting the new blog to reach the same level of popularity as this one did, but if anybody would like to follow the new blog this is your chance :) i'll queue this post a couple dozen times so as many people as possible see it, but if you don't wish to follow me over there, please know how much i have loved keeping this blog over the years and how wonderful of an experience it has been <3

okay, so. not sure what to do, in that my most recent web got immediately flagged for adult content, my appeal was shot down (no sex acts, nothing graphic) within seconds, and now it looks like my web-weaving sideblog @araekni has been shadowbanned like its a porn blog.
will i get my icon/mobile theme/customisation back again if i edit the post/delete it? is it forever, even if i do that?? the web itself is apparently only visible to me now, which is annoying bc i spent the last few hours on it. ngl, i’m pretty bummed as i’ve been building the sideblog for over a year and i honestly hadn’t even thought about the inclusion of the scene as it was in an artistic capacity
edit: sent a request for the un-expliciting of my blog, so with any luck it actually gets looked at so they see it isn’t a porn blog at all

how do you make your web weaves? they are so pretty. the amount of detail and work you put into robin is inspiring
hi omg i'm really crying rn.. its the 6am talking thank you for calling it inspiring when i normally call it weird about myself haha!
as for the web weaves.. i guess i make every single one differently? i'm not sure if you mean how i decide to organise it, or how i find my material but i'll quickly cover them both. for organising it: i send to just freestyle depending on what i have. for my first webweave(the loneliness one), i had a lot that i felt all kinda flowed together quite well regardless, and so i basically just put it into tumblr and posted, besides the final side which i decide to make more of a collage of thought more specific to robin's mind? whilst the steve one i made, i felt like a lot of my material was disjointed, and so i kinda messed around with it in photoshop and made things overlap to kind of bring a bit more unity to it! honestly: if this is what you're struggling with, just go for it. there is never an ugly web weave, because i think at it's soul, web weave's are chaotic, there are meant to be this collection of thoughts pulled from everywhere.
as for how i find my material: i spend too much time on pinterest, and i follow a lot of poetry / compilation tumblrs (at least i did on an old blog, and just carried a couple over here!): these are amazing if you maybe don't know a lot of poetry, or even artwork! some of my favourites are luthienne & araekni! you can also just go into tags in general, search web weave, poetry compilations, art compilations! as much as i hate tumblrs tag system, the general-ity of it means you can easily search for web weave + loneliness and be greeted by so many resources!
please let me know if i can every do anything to help u make one!! and again, thank u ! <3
