I didn't log in on Tumblr for a week bc was busy in UNI hell and the second I came back, I heard about the data sold to AI mess and what the fuck am I supposed to do or to say lol...

Anyway, I must add that I'm not going, like, anywhere else. Am I tired of this situation? YES, trust me. I've already experienced art being stolen to be handed over to AI programs (I'm talking about you, DeviantArt) but I'm exhausted from moving from one social to another. The most fucked up thing is that even with a deactivated account, your stuff can be used to training Midjourney and shit, so… like, there's not a lot to do.

The thing that makes me mad is the way Tumblr handled this. By the way they wrote the announcement, it does feel like it has already happened, and the update was just a notice.

#wren text tag #last time a thing like this happened I stopped drawing and posting for 3 years bc I had a mental breakdown lol #mostly bc before I used to draw only my ocs and it didn't feel good knowing they where being put into a meat grinder of an AI art generator #esp if you are like me -> person who spends months working on a character between design and backstory #now I use this blog only for fanart so I don't care a lot lol they are not even my characters #maybe I'll draw so much shipping art that the AI will automatically think it's a canon event lol #also I'm really REALLY rethinking my life decision of study art for a living lol #being an artist in 2020s be like #*NFT* *AI* * your drawing stolen* *your drawing reposted without credits* *erasing watermarks* *stolen artworks used to train AI* #OH YES and the “sorry we don't need an illustrator for this project (shows a poster made with AI)” #GIRLLLLL WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO #I JUST WANT TO DRAW FOR FUCK'S SAKE #forever thinking about those 600+ drawings I had to delete on DA #“I'm an artist” and when I say it this is how I feel 🤡🤡🤡

The wedding look is amazing. It also looks like something Morgana would pull off if she lived in National City. You can't tell me she wouldn't rock up to a wedding looking exactly like that. Also the post woth the pictures of the wedding look, did she have fangs in one of them? Or was that just my wishful thinking?

everyone unfollow me I want to be alone with Anon and their incredibly correct thoughts. Anon how do feel about a spring wedding?

Also yeah I think someone edited it so she's got fangs in that!

#Anonymous #Ask a Rocket #although now that I'm looking closely it does look like a bunch of them were edited #and at least one of them has the watermark of a different user so I'm thinking about deleting that post #because I don't like contributing to uncredited posts of someone else's work #my bad for not catching that earlier #BUT ANON YOU'RE SO CORRECT #YOU AND ME WE ARE THE ONLY ONES IN THIS CITY #Edit: I did delete because yeah definitely a collection of other people's uncredited edits

. tag vent

#y'all i am so tired of people stealing my gifs #i've never watermarked my gifs because i don't like the way it looks #but honestly it's fucking ridiculous how quickly people grab them and repost #and then the utter exhaustion i feel when someone's repost gets more notes than my original post that i actually spent time making #and i've been in fandom a long time and i know it is inevitable #but it is so demoralizing #to be clear- i did ask the people i've encountered doing this to stop but odds are they probably won't even respond #i think i'm just gonna go work on my fic today #though i've had those stolen with names changed and then reposted to other fandoms before too so who knows #srry i am just not in a great space mentally rn and needed to vent #will delete this later #td

[raveartts]

trying to figure out what font I should use for my watermark whenever I use one, I usually just handwrite it but idk that's kinda ugly

#rave ramblees #the green checks are just the ones i like most out of the new fonts i installed #i just don't really know what fits my vibe well or would look legible but non intrusive over art #the third has the flair of the second without being completely unsuited to my theme #the first is maybe too cutesy for me? depends on the drawing ig #and the last is pretty but lord does it not fit me at all #i deleted the blurry looking font because holy shit i don't know what's wrong with it but it LAGS to type #why am i even doing this i don't even use a watermark 90% of the time #though actually art fight season is coming up and i tend to watermark those drawings #so i'd like something more consistent. maybe i can do a cute design around the text?

[pedro-pascal]

Have you thought about watermarking your work? I started doing that after a lot of my gifs were reposted here on tumblr, it still happens, so the watermark doesn't stop anyone from stealing the work but at least it shows that the gif was stolen.

hello! sometimes i do it for some gifs that i'm very proud of but most of the time i don't because whenever i see some people watermark their gifs, i feel like it ruins the gifs :(

#anonymous #i simply try to avoind going on twitter this way i don't see my gifs being reposted #however if you repost my stuff on tumblr i will hunt that person down #especially since tumblr usually delete the reposted gifs if you report it #sometimes i see watermarks on 268px gif and it takes the whole gif fjkkdvnkdgbffjn rip

should i risk putting my pride digimon designs on re.dbubble or no

#on one hand i do want to put them up cause i did work hard on them and i think people would like them. on the other hand i am worried about #like... getting in trouble copyright wise... i know like at worst probably what would happen would be the designs getting taken done or my #account deleted but hhhh anxiety :c #(also as a note i still don't have them all done. i think i have like 7 more to finish? i kinda lost steam a while ago but i don't think #it'd take me to long to finish the last couple sets. like for reference there's gonna be 27 total so i already have 20 done.) #once i finish them i'll probably just post them on here with a watermark either way so i can always decide if i want to put them up later #ig i don't have to decide immediately. just have been contemplating this for a while. #dramon thoughts

#exporting and deleting most of my side blogs tonight #and it sucks cause some of them are like ten years old now #but this is not a safe place to archive my shit anymore #for posterity this is why i watermark everything i post. not because I don't trust the userbase but because i don't trust this website

Is it all right if I ask why did you deactivate your twitter acc? I am curious, but don't want to be nosy, if the reasons is something you don't want to talk about.

I am tired.

2024 is so far a nightmare for me and I haven't had a single peaceful month

Just in this one week I had 3 situations with stores that sold my renders, which made me realize that all this stress, sleepless nights and crying are probably not worth it.

I've been used, lied to, backstabbed, my watermarks have been cut out, removed, blurred, renders copied, stolen, sold, AI edited, reposted, traced… It's exhausting to beg for even a shred of respect for the time spent on them.

I don't know…I started to feel that the more followers I have, the less I am treated as a human being. Started feeling like sh!t that don't even deserve credits in stupid tiktok edits because "everyone uses them" and "they are from pinterest".

So at first I deleted almost all my renders on twitter because I know most reposters and thieves get them from there

…and then I said fuck it and deactivated the entire account. Maybe i'll restore it? I don't know. I have 30 days to change my mind

[narusasuart]

It has been brought to my attention that some asshat has reposted some art of mine without my permission. Their whole page is just stolen and reposted art. They even have the audacity to add their own watermark to the art (even though some of it is clearly watermarked by the original artist.)

The watermark they add says 'narutobet'. I think this person is just looking for attention and possibly engagement on their yt channel or something. (You know - getting clicks so the algorithm thinks theyre important.)

So, please check your recent reblogs and delete it if you've reblogged from them. Otherwise, I would ask you to just not give them what they want. Don't reblog from them. Don't google them. They're just a thief.

I'd appreciate it if you could share this so other people in this Fandom know about it.

And please be mindful of what you reblog. Support the original artists!

I for one have decided to start watermarking my art. Which is sad.

Bucky's Hands 🫠 And Angry GIF Racists

Originally I saved these GIFs off of Google and posted them with a similar caption as they have below. Nothin' special. Just meant to be a cute drool-over-Bucky post. It got a few thousand likes, which was neat.

A couple of months and a few hundred reblogs later, the girl who apparently made the GIFS messaged me--very pissily, informing me that since she made them I had no right to post them and how dare I!

I told her I don't see any issue with saving a GIF off of Google to use in a post or embed in a fic, etc. They are simply clips from movies, after all.

She furiously told me to remove my post.

TBH, I was about to ask if she'd be cool with a link to her account for credit (even tho the GIF already had her watermark on it). And if she'dve said no, then I was prepared to delete the post just to shut her up. I figured she was 14 or something. Angry on the internet, what are ya gonna do, right?

But I decided not to say that or do that, when within an hour of her messaging me, about six of her mutuals started messaging me nastily. And then one or more of them began anon-bombing me with hate. At least one of them included racial slurs, ethnic slurs, and wished for/encouragements for me to go self-delete.

Since she or one or more of her friends are such ugly, racist people, I chose to say "bye bye, I will continue unapologetically saving and using GIFs from Google."

Then, to illustrate the point of how stupid she was being, I went and took about 90 seconds - 2 minutes of my time and made. the same. exact. GIFs. Boy was that "unique artwork" hard to make 🙄.

So in case somebody doesn't know my stance on this: I will always credit and never repost other people's paintings, drawings, digitals, sculptures, poems, fanfics, fanvideos, edits, manips, belly button lint weaving pieces, blurbs, and poetry ... but I'm not going to refrain from using a widely-available GIF if the maker of said GIF isn't readily knowable. If they are, great, I'll give credit. If not, oh well.

And if floridamatista (I think that was the name?) or any of your sweet, racist friends ever come across this post, I encourage you to reevaluate your value system in life, that you felt it appropriate to throw out the n word, death threats, and antisemitic slurs over. a fucking. GIF.

The hands, the veins, those thick wrists 🤤 Lord, I did not need a new kink today, but alas I have found one anyway.

(Go ahead and use without credit, y'all. Since they're, ya know, clips from movies)
