#content i'm actually on twitter

[sergle]

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

#there is actually nothing morally wrong with running an account that just reuploads ppl's artwork or their jokes or their cosplays #if you just put a VISIBLE LINK in the description of your post with proper credit then it would be beneficial for everyone #because you can get your little clout or whatever it is you want by putting a bunch of same-category content on a page #but nobody's getting fucked over because if your post blows up then people just get FUNNELED to the source #because it's placed so plainly where everyone can see it #and yeah it's better to retweet or reblog but #on the rare occasion that I see my shit reuploaded on tumblr WHICH IS WEIRD BC I MAKE MY OWN POSTS HERE but anyway #someone making their own post where they upload my stuff. and it's always the floral self portraits so let's say it's a post with all those #if I scroll to the bottom and it says like. Artwork by Serglesinner on Twitter <-- clickable link [Sergle's Prints] <-- clickable link #to my etsy #I'm like oh okay and all the anger leaves my body and I'm like ah I see. and I toss the rock aside #like oh okay so you actually care that a person made these pieces. Instead of posting the caption ''women <3'' or smth #like you've GOTTA die if you do that. but if you just link back #or if you go to the effort of writing like a description with a BLURB? like it's a damn museum. like a light paragraph of info #about what the art is and who made it and their links #I am literally sucking you in a strange and peculiar manner. that is extremely helpful #and maybe other artists don't want this AT ALL and they'd rather people not reupload even if it is credited #but I feeeeeeeeel. like 99% of the time this would solve the issue #reposters could genuinely be helping ppl. sometimes the repost gets more traction than the real thing #as long as it credits the creator then that's an okay thing to happen! #that can land somebody a sale! a commission order! a new fan! A JOB #A JOB!!!!!!!!!! #sergle.txt #I didn't write this eloquently AT ALL what the fuck ever barkbarkbarkbark

I assume you got hate for that L&D ask? I'm sorry that was done. Feel better soon. Maybe say less next time.

i appreciate your kind words, thank you. however, while i'm sure you had the best intention with this, i don't think i will 'say less'. this is my blog, my space, and as long as i'm not actually causing harm to anyone or anything along that line, i think i'm allowed to have some degree of freedom regarding saying what i like/dislike and setting my boundaries. i'm sorry, but i'm not an influencer, nor a public figure who has the responsibility to spread positivity and be a role model to you all. i try as much as i can, of course, but that's not the purpose of this blog. i'm just a human being who needed an outlet for writing and wanted to connect with like-minded people.

what part was not 'right'? that i expressed, in my own blog, how i didn't want to try out a game because one of the reasons is i find the graphics of the fictional characters off-putting, when asked? that i likened a fictional game art style to a different franchise and objects you see all the time in adult site ads? that i never said anything about the people who do like the game and told them "i'm happy you found a game you like"? that i never, not even once, went to other people's posts or blog who posted that game's content to ruin their fun like a bastard? that i actively chose to use tumblr's filter instead? that even if the filter didn't work, i chose to scroll and ignore instead of bitching about it?

pray tell, what did i do wrong? why should i say less? since when am i not allowed to dislike things?

and a public psa ー i'm sorry, but bluntly speaking, if you take an affront when I expressed MY own opinion, WHEN PROMPTED, WITHIN MY OWN SPACE (and god forbid you retaliate like that anon(s?) by spamming me to shut the fuck up and kill myself), then that's really not my problem. it's an art direction, for god's sake. i adore zhongli, who gets memed and made fun of as a cockroach all the time; you don't see me screaming at people to stop.

learn that people may not like the things you like. learn to agree to disagree. learn to treat others as fellow human beings with likes and dislikes. learn to separate fiction from reality.

and seriously, if you're annoyed with my rambles or 'babblings' or the interactions with my friends, tumblr has a filter and block function. it's just a simple google away. give some peace to your own mind.

#minors dni #rin answers #rin is having tea with: daydreams-and-wonder #and to clarify. i'm not mad at you daydreams-and-wonder!! #i truly appreciate the well wishes #but i had to get this out of my system because it's just so ridiculous that this is happening imo #cw vent in following tags #then again #excluding my actual friends. out of 8.5k of people following me i wonder if even one percent of you actually think of me as a human being #and not just a blob in your phone who churns out somewhat decent content every now and then #or some sentient hybrid between a journal or twitter you could just go anytime to feed your need for validation and attention one sidedly #or an entertaining monkey you put on a stage to watch just for the fun of it only to 'cancel' the moment i 'slip up' #maybe it's my pms. maybe i'm just stressed rn. or maybe it's long time coming #but i'm not just tired anymore. i'm getting disgusted of this treatment

Took a bit of break from commissions to draw a lil fanart for a game called Meg’s Monster ;w;

There’s not much content for it yet since the game was just released a couple weeks ago sooo I felt compelled to make something for it! These 3 were particularly my favorite and got me crying towards the end ;_;

If you love games like Undertale then consider giving this one a try! There’s a free demo available of it on steam that you can play 👍 Just be prepared for the emotional roller coaster in advance!!

#artists on tumblr #meg's monster #roy #meg #golan #gotchibam arts #pls send me asks abt it if you guys get to play it 🥺 #may not be able to reply bc im busy but i'd love to hear your thoughts!! #actually found this game thru searching twitter for content of a certain fave anime character #saw a tweet saying golan's face + smug expression was inspired by gin's (from the anime bleach) so I got curious #abt this green guy and then I saw this game! #the undertale vibes got me more curious so I went ahead and played it and here I am now ;w; #I still have so much comms + doodles to do but I needed a bit of break so I'm really glad I found this game #the feels tho....... the feels ;___; #be prepared for the feels </3

I decided for fun to show my dad (iranian and muslim) the stuff about the crob update and ask for his thoughts and the fact that he wasn't offended by it either had me convinced that the outrage it's been getting has been primarily by people who aren't middle eastern or muslim

btw I have the screenshots:

I'll update when I ask my mom for her thoughts too but for now: please, don't just throw around terms like that at innocent things, you only end up weakening their impact and people will take you less seriously when something actually offensive shows its ugly head

edit: got one reblog in fudging December and like Can we please move on this stuff is long over I just want to enjoy the funny centipede lady that I kinda kin and tbh I was a bit TOO defensive during this but I still feel like people didn't handle this well like this is basically just like. If you feel the need to boycott the entirety of cookie run for just one update but can be an encanto fan despite Aladdin also being a Disney movie (and being worse than the Yogurca stuff in my opinion) as well as being made by westerners while CR is an eastern game (albeit Korean specifically and not like Middle eastern) then like. I question your priorities and why you're being harder on this game. I guess. Idk maybe I'm just an idiot I'm not some big media analysis expert (but I do have my own problems with Yogurca as a setting don't get me wrong I didn't really talk about this much but. Like I'm never gonna try to claim it's perfect I just don't think it's unsalvageable or that anyone who likes the characters is bad)

#Cookie run #cookie run ovenbreak #crob #crob update #I swear to god i went to the Gingerbrave Twitter snd saw the funny Gingerbrave version of the drake meme they posted and literally the #First reply was someone complaining about the update and calling it racist and like. Shut up. No it's not. #I'm actually saying it outright this time: no it's not #I have more authority on this than most of the people I've seen actually ranting about it: I have seen only one singular person who was als #*also #Personally concerned with the contents of this update actually complaining about it. And it was a single reply on a post. #If there are others out there who were calling it racist: well I sure as hell haven't seen their posts #Goddamn it did no one learn from the speedy gonzalez incident

i wish there was a space for actual adults within this fandom. i guess i will have to create it, even if it's just me and other five people and a shoelace. i wonder how this whole thing is gonna develop!

#personal #the entire internet but also this fandom specifically is infested with ppl whose reading comprehension is lower than a 6th grader's #can't a gal enjoy a middle-aged actress without being pestered by toddlers with pitchforks #and i know i'm the pettiest bitch but i am ANNOYED esp when i see how old these ppl are. if you're over 25 you have no excuse daskjfhg #like i have cut my audience in half at least! if not more with this fic #but i'm happy bc i'm producing content i wanna produce #i wonder how my new fics are gonna be received #after i finish “particular” i have another thing coming up that ppl probs won't like lol #but i think it's important i post it #and then we have murder mysteries and gothic horror and wooooo you know #it's gonna be fun! and a bit disturbing! #wonder if imma be dragged on twitter again lol #but i sincerely hope no one will care lol #honestly i never expected ppl to care THAT much but i guess they did #it also annoys me that a concerningly small amount seems to care abt the actual quality of writing #and i'm over here agonising about Stylistic Choices(TM) lol #i feel like it flies over ppl's heads and they just wanna read abt larissa weems fucking them with a shapeshifted dick #which okay i guess but also what abt Literature #you could do smth creative with a shapeshifting character just saying. and include your magic cocks or whatever tf you're into #ah i am fuming in vain i will just write my lil fics and hope i don't get a new influx of kys messages lol

Writing prompt: Biting?

I'm a very rational person - or, I was. I still am, I think. If you'd asked me a week ago if I believed in the supernatural, I'd have laughed at you all the way home. Naturally, it's a bit awkward now as I am, laying in my bed, shuddering and barely able to move.

It's good shuddering, great really. Amazing, even. I met this woman at the local coffee shop. I didn't even know people met there organically anymore. But with all the practice in the world, she pulled me in with her eyes, staring from across the room. Who just openly stares like that? But, I guess it worked.

I thought she was walking over to me at some point, but before I even realized I was sitting at her table. She talked my ear off like we'd been friends for years. I mean, I was glad to make a new friend. She all but invited herself back to my place, but, I mean, I didn't mind. To friends, right?

Or something more. People always say 'it just happened' about one night stands. But how did it lead up to that? My memory's a blur now. I don't know the actions that led to it. Her eyes. Those damn eyes.

Not that I was especially put out or anything. She knew how to make me feel good, and she delighted in it. It even felt so good when she bit me that my vision went white. I'd never experimented with it before, but it seemed like it came natural to her. So, naturally, I let her take charge.

Over time, she would leave little love bites all around my entire body, my skin her canvas. I lost time more and more often. I'd pass out with her body around mine and wake back up as she was still going. One time I woke up in another bed. Hers, I think? I would have been more worried, but she reassured me, and bit me again. And she wouldn't have been so comfortable doing that if she wasn't in control of the situation. Right?

It's unrealistic to think there's anything larger at play here. It's silly to think that she might have any sort of power over me, to keep me here and willing.

But the more I think about it, I had... obligations. And other wants, that weren't her. I had a life. But these days, all I am, is...

I won't say what I think she is. It's not like she is one, or anything. She's just, an especially charismatic person. Anyone would feel naturally drawn to her. She just happened to choose me. And the thought gives me butterflies in my stomach, and pangs of arousal everywhere else.

What's the difference between having powers, and just having that raw, magnetic, sexual energy? Charisma and presence? Persuasion? I guess it doesn't really make a difference. It doesn't matter what she is. I need to feel her teeth on my skin again, I need to lose myself more. For her, I'll call her anything she wants me to. For her, I'll be anything she wants me to be.

I hope she comes back again soon.

#hypnosis #short prompt #I tried to sleep over two hours ago and it didn't work! :) #so I wrote instead #but forgive me if the tense is weird or it reads awkwardly #I'm just very tired #biting #I am trying to write these in a way that is easily translatable to tweets #there are still tiny differences in words and positioning when I post these on Twitter though so Tumblr remains the best place to read them #I started doing this to drum up more activity and force myself to write #and also because I was close to 1k followers on Twitter! #but as it stands most of the content I post is actually on here so OTL #go follow my twitter at ArihiWrites! #thank you for the prompt!

silly Victor doodle :P

saw some absolutely SCRUMPTIOUS Victor fanart on Twitter so that motivated me to make this

#as i was drawing this i noticed it felt different from my other drawings #then i realized i was using the wrong brush for sketching 😭 #i wanted to change it but i was already proud of the current product so i never did #i don't actually have a Twitter account but I'm tempted to make one cuz the Victor content there is yummy ngl #stardew valley expanded #sve victor #stardew victor #sv victor #sve #sdve

[lwoorl]

I'll say it: "Oh all AI artists do is write a stupid description and immediately get an image with no effort, there's no art in that" is the new "Digital painting doesn't count as art because it takes no effort"

#Look I'm aware there're moral reasons to criticize AI art such as how corporations will use it #and the fact lots of models (not all however) use stolen content #But all you have to do is visit a forum dedicated to AI art to quickly realize it actually takes some effort to make quality images #And honestly from what I've seen those guys are often very respectful of traditional artists if not traditional artists themselves #Not a single bit of 'haha those idiots are working hard when they could simply use AI!' that Tumblr likes to strawman them as #Lots of 'So I did the base with AI and then painted over it manually in Photoshop' and 'I trained this model myself with my own drawings' #And I'm not saying there aren't some guys that are being assholes over it on Twitter #But when you go to an actual community dedicated to it. Honestly these guys are rather nice #I've seen some truly astounding projects #like there was this guy that was using people's scars to create maps of forests and mointains to sort of explore the theme of healing #And this one that took videos of his city and overlayed them with some solarpunk kind of thing #And this one that was doing a collection of dreams that was half AI amd half traditional painting #Anyway the point is you guys are being way too mean to a group of people that genuinely want to use the technology to create cool art #And while I'm aware there are issues related to its use #it's actually really fucked up you're attacking the individual artists instead of corporations??? #It's as if you were attacking the chocolate guy over the systemic problems related to the chocolate industry! #And also tumblrs always like 'Oh AI is disgusting I hate AI art so I'll just hate in it without dealing with the issue' #While AI art forums often have posts with people discussing how go use it ethically when applied to commercial use!! #Honestly these guys are doing way more about tackling the issue than tumblr and you should feel bad!!!

And the Rejet merch train continues...

#Admittedly I quite like the theme for this set #and the fact that Shin is once again pulling this face :P #Laito too lol #but Rejet could you please at least give us an update on House of Vampire? #like if you've cancelled it at least let us know so I can stop anxiously hovering on your Twitter feed #apologies for the negativity I'm just very jaded at this point #the fact I'm in my Genshin phase and the 3.3 release is right around the corner doesn't help #as it reminds what it's like to be excited for actual content of the characters #I would be less salty if Shin's Daylight CD hadn't just been a speedrun repeat of his DF route #but I appreciate it's hard to write that much content and still generate new ideas

[devilcroc]

i always forget how much dopamine i get from comically small amounts of Internet Points because every time i get a note i imagine a person physically telling me "good job! 👍"

#i get 15 notes on art i spent 3 hours on?? that's 15 people who saw my thing and liked it enough to give it a point baybee!! #I'm not doing this for money so that's fine by me! #i'm doing this for pure insane love!! #the other bonus is that in all likelihood those 15 people are as insane as i am for the content #15 likes from other insane autistics are worth 100000 twitter likes of Big Tiddy Anime of the day #the other insane people will actually indulge my headcanons and talk to me about my fanfictions

Ya boy's deleted/locked himself out of every social media except for Tumblr. It won! It fucking won! Don't forget you're here forever!

#(and youtube and discord im not a monk) #It's the way exploitative content algorithms are easily circumvented. and the rigorous dash curation. and my frens:-) #it's a shame bc social media is like... useful for meeting ppl and accessing good creative works and genuinely worthwhile stuff #but i guess now I'm gonna have to go outside for that kinda stuff #can't hurt to try #nick.txt #if not for the gruesome app-ification of regular life (i need an app to access my fucking washing machine) i wouldve sincerely switched to #using a flip phone #and just kept my computer as a way to access the Webs #the webs arent inherently negative! theyre such a good tool! i just have brainworms as-is and its all DESIGNED to make them worse #i read so many books before i got a phone. and tbf. that was ALSO when the mental illness hit. which was unrelated. #so it's not ALL just because im always on that damn phone #but still #so many hours i lose on fucking reddit of all things. 4 hours watching instagram reels and i retained absolutely fuck all #and no roadblocks i set for myself (timers and uninstalling the apps and everything) are enough #i cant keep doing this dude. im gonna be 20 next year. i miss *books*. I miss writing and drawing and going outside just to be outside #i AM genuinely sad at how not having instagram will make having a social life in uni actually harder lmao but we stay silly #if i die and god shows me how many hours i spent on twitter and the number has more than two digits im gonna get so depressed ill die twice

i hate twitter. why is my timeline full of stuff from people i don't follow. go away i didn't invite you in here

#GET OUT OF MY HOUSE!!!! I DON'T KNOW YOU #like if it were just every once in a while i wouldn't mind but bestie i can't even find tweets from the accounts i'm actually following😭 #this is a MESS #i hate you algorithms i hate you fyp i hate you 'based on likes' i hate you 'your following follows' i hate you suggested content i hate y #like i understand that twitter is (for some godforsaken reason) the platform that a lot of ppl in publishing / writing are using #but god. at what COST #have we all just collectively decided that we value the success of our work over our sanity? #or am i just spoiled bc of tumblr's lack of 'putting stuff i didn't ask for on my dash' #anyway if you want to see my embarassing struggle to fit in on publishing twt this semester you can follow me @ silversunrise_ #hello grace here

you ever see posts that are like, "hey this place doesn't function like many other socials. content will only get shared around by reblogging it, so if you like something, keep that in mind! consider leaving feedback more often too! don't forget to appreciate artists!" and you're like yeees.

but then either that post, or the comments after, descend into, "you should be grateful for fandom creators! reblog everything you see! don't like! they put so much hard work into everything they make for free! you're a consumer and you owe them your attention! it's free! they do it for free!" and you're like noooo oo o.

#also I think. while there prob are some people used to twitter and tiktok who legitimately aren't familiar with the algorithm/lack of #I think people sometimes simply don't want to reblog something. it's not a misconception you can clear up for them #this is not hyperbole. I saw someone call people who engage with fandom creators' content consumers #unless you're talking about commissions/other paid work no we are not #I agree creators DO generally deserve more appreciation and not be treated like automatons who produce your fav thing #but now it's been phrased in a way that's a bit demanding so I'm not going to platform that #I'm sorry but if someone likes something. it means they liked it #and they engaged with it in a way that showed that they liked it #I vastly prefer feedback too! it's my favourite! I actually find it super hard to conceptualise likes despite what I just said lol #but it's something I gotta work on myself #venting makes you feel a bit better but let's not pretend trying to guilt trip people into engaging with you more is going to work #that will at most get you a short wave of pity reblogs. nobody wants that for their creations #idk the inflated sense of self-importance given to internet creators feels really strange to me #I don't get why fandom hobbyist is considered this great title worthy of inherent reverence now #I mean ''now'' isn't exactly true I know there's been BNFs for decades but. I mean just like #the act of Being an online creator for anything gets you treated as if you're some kind of neurotic captive animal
