#i hate deviantart

[sparkly-caroline]

This is why I left that hellhole of a website.

The AI artists making more money than real artists, hell, even more than your average worker.

It's over, chat, it's fucking over

#Ramblings #fuck ai art #fuck ai all my homies hate ai #deviantart #I hate deviantart #So glad i left that site #I bet this pissed off a lot of people #and rightfully so #not my usual post #but its so sad

[0lucifox0]

man, fuck deviantart.

#I hate deviantart #Deviantart sucks

@staff if you [change] the [design] of the fucking [dashboard] i will kill you

edit. i want it on the actual post that i am not actually making a de-th threat against the staff. that's shitty. the caption quotes the fucking costco hot dog meme, which i originally said in the tags. if any staff member sees this please do Not take it personally

#dashboard #staff #tumblr update #comic #art #doodles #costco ceo about the price of a hot dog.png #i refuse to believe this is a real problem that site owners think people have #frankly i refuse to believe people had this issue with deviantart before eclipse #i am sorry you have to put about 15 minutes of effort into understanding a new website. feel better soon #my main blog doesn't have it yet but i logged into here to make this post and. i have it #this is fucking terrible. it would ahve been really really funny for april fools day but not as a permanent change #i hate it a Lot. i hate it so fucking much. oh . my god. #edit - guys i amnot actually sending de*th threats to staff it's the costco hot dog meme

[godbirdart]

i've said it once i'll say it again: i hate how AI is making me have to do background checks on people to see if they're an actual real artist before i follow or interact with their work

#i felt this more on deviantart #but now it's becoming more of an issue on tumblr and ugh #i hate it

Completed the Shenkuu Stamp collection some time ago, so it was only fair to draw my girl Mirsha

#neopets #neotag #neoart #vin doods #gnorbu #drawing this was actually really fun in a way that when i was looking for references i didn't know she was such a lesbian icon #not surprised but hey lets cheer for the lesbian alpaca! #I'm not as happy with the colors as I thought #I'm a bit rusty in just really warm colors without it looking burnt for some reason HJSD #but looking at pictures of AC teams have made me really fall into my old virtupets fix #i love everyone so much on that team and not really that many ppl play for it #i still remember winning a long long time ago and was completely blown away as it was basically just 5 ppl in a forum going mad #i just really love the designs of most of the players on all groups?? #i don't even like playing in the AC that much i just love the characters LMFAOO #i think i still remember I drew fanart of Sela and the gelert from the darigan team when i was like 8-9 and submitting in onto deviantart #and getting hate comments probably like 8 years later because i missed his wings or i made them too small or sth #that was hilarious thinking about it now but it did made me hate the darigan team for that year SDHFKSD #ok this is too long it always ends up wit me just rambling #I love my boy XL Striker 3.8 and Sela #ok nobodys reading uhhhh #send me an ask with the weirdest emoji out of context if you've read this far tbh nobody cares by this point HJSKSFD #idk if ill draw someone for the AC team everytime i complete a stamp collection but if i'm feeling like it maybe #or if they're requested tecnically #thats it bye

my first social media was actually wattpad tho. i was a big fan of the ‘art book’ and roleplay community on wattpad. had twenty followers and felt insanely powerful

#like i didnt go there to read fanfiction #i would either post my drawings as images like. one each chapter and look at others #or roleplay in the comments of other people’s books #people often call wattpad ‘a fanfiction website’ but i don’t really think thats accurate #like people were so fucking creative with it #its not a wonder i ended up preferring blogging to other social media its in my roots. i love a public diary what can i say #i was never a deviantart or pinterest user but tried to be and failed over and over again #i just couldnt get into it #i had an instagram briefly age 12 after my cousins insisted but i deleted it quickly #and didn’t get a new one until i was like 16 lol i dont give a fuck about that app #tiktok i got during quarentine and hate but wont delete bc i love the vegan cooking videos so much #(and the pencil case tours) #i post to both ig and tiktok but my hearts not in it it feels wrong

hey, your video compilation of 4chan post about shield is a great ressource for fandom psychology. Interesting to see another user who lurk the wrestling board and use tumblr. Did you ever work on compilation of the tumblr fandom during the peak of the shield era ? I did not research it yet. xoxo

glad someone liked that video, only in times when im super fixated on something will i end up searching through the 4chan archives for more content...unfortunately 4chan vernacular tends to get a laugh out of me (if it isnt absolute lowtier content, had to scrape through a lot of that). the shield stuff i tried to get from when it was at its peak and you'll see posts on there from 2013+, but i also got modern stuff now bc the boardspeak actually changed with it.

ironically it is way easier to deepdive and compile stuff from 4chan bc it has a much better archival system than tumblr; ive also looked for lots of old stuff on deviantart due to the crossover but i found that it has a pretty shitty way of archiving/sorting older posts (just like on here. ive been on tumblr since 13 so i know what sorts of areas to look for, but its still very hard to find it directly on here. i havent spent as much time as i did getting those posts for that video so i can try harder.)

fandom psychology is interesting to me too so im happy you saw my video with that angle. ive collected lots of old shield fangirl content off of sites like weheartit and pinterest (ironically those are often better at keeping images up for longer periods of time) too but i didnt know if i should make a comp, maybe i will. i also looked through random forums and places like lolcow dot farms (which only really granted one of the screenshots...not too much discussion over there for good or bad. i was hoping to find discussion abt shieldfangirls or wrestling rpf but surprisingly they didnt think to make a "point and laugh" thread abt those topics). i find it interesting how much shieldrelated psychosis was on both sides of the spectrum (tumblr vs 4chan)....i could talk more on it but im a little brainless and sleep deprived rn

heres some extras i had that didnt make the cut (plus just some of my favorites):

and these were from a thread talking abt the modern stereotypical tumblr wrestling fan (specifically talking abt aedubs young bucks fans/the elite fans)

(*fangirl in this is a term im using loosely of course)

#surprisingly there is actually LESS shield blingees than dx or cm punk blingees. that at least i could find. theres a large number of #desktop background edits from deviantart and content like the fanfic edits/“outfits i would wear to meet the shield”/ogflowercrown phone bg #collages. and the like. i could compile all this shit i just didnt think it mattered to anyone LOL #sorry for the long post everyone #the most interesting thing abt the shields hayday and eventual fall on 4chan was 1) how many guys unironically loved seth up until he #“turned shoot faggot”/or the first knee injury. he was a fan favorite on there even with the contrarian posters saying otherwise (most of #4chan is just being. the contrarian so that tracks). and 2) the huge divide between guys who hated ambrose (usually bc he was over with #female fans...theres still that divide with how straight men dont understand favs among women. also goes along w my noted difference in fav #among queer men/women etc etc - but they would mask this by saying they hated that he was a jobber (true) or his inring technique was slopp #) and guys who adored ambrose bc he was a promo guy...they loved his early promos/“he just like me fr”.. (and a large grouping of dudes who #would call him cute). i dunno just stuff i noticed #also. obviously a lotta mox hate due to dickriding cornette #the shields peak is interesting to me so i might continue to compile more shit like this when i get the time. i have the shield dvds too #and wanted to do a LONG journey of p1rat1n6 all their scenes off of pcock while i still have my sub. but it would take a while #also. love ur acc bc i too enjoy thinkin abt the fem versions of dude wrestlers #fleshclipstag #tactical-asks

if DeviantArt has taught me anything, it's these things

always ask your role-player how old they fucking are (groomed.)

be careful what you tag because fetish freaks will like the hell out of it.

there is always drama with someone you do or don't know and you can't do shit.

if you like someones art and comment on it, you now owe them your soul.

#devianart is fucking ass. #i hate the person who groomed me. #i hate the people who have sick fetishes when I was just making something cute. #i hate people who cause drama over the smallest things. #h a t e. #HATE. LET ME TELL YOU HOW MUCH I'VE COME TO HATE YOU SINCE I BEGAN TO LIVE. #/ref #i'm still angry though. #deviantart

Do you mind dumping all of your thoughts on ebina for us?

i dont even know where to begin on ebina he just sucks major horse cock and i cant be swayed on this but ill put it under the cut for everyones sake. this is rambly as hell too idc i refuse to spend any more time thinking about ebina more than i already do

like what is his purpose. like i KNOW his purpose but it sucks- him being a Plot Twist baby is the dumbest shit in the world and they dont even ATTEMPT to do anything meaningful with it i do not care what anyone says

why even HAVE HIM be related to ichiban if he never even interacts with ichi in a meaningful way, esp when ichi's whole theme is family-- WHEN THE GAME IS LITERALLY ABOUT ICHI MEETING HIS MOM (or it was until they decided they didnt care about akane in the plot anymore)

like we mentioned it before here but if you have to have ebina related to a yakuza from the past for his ol Bring Down The Yakuza gig then why not make him an orphan from kazama's orphanage ???? literally nothing wouldve changed except it would've made more sense with how much kiryu deals with him instead of ichi. it wouldve been a great way to round things off with kiryu's saga too, what with having to confront the consequences of kazama's actions directly and finally and officially burst that fanatic bubble of his (i dont wanna HEAR nothing about gaiden that's not enough for me im GREEDY). theres something in here too about kiryu and daigo but i cant articulate it... i just know that wouldve been better too .... something something kiryu brought daigo into this life and now that he sees kazama 'bring' ebina into this life hes projecting ... idk ..

the game def didnt seem to give a fuck that ebina was arakawa's son considering they fucking revealed it in a bland-ass in-game cutscene FROM DAIGO OF ALL PEOPLE daigo respectfully why the fuck do you know this

i dont know how many people watch my streams but i was so obnoxious about ebina's villain monologue before his fight because its just ...... it just SCREAMS Hey You Guys Remember Aoki Right. fucking Masumi Arakawa Had Two Sons: One Who Loved Him And One Who Hated Him LITERALLY SHUT UP AND DIE I HATE YOU MASATO ARAKAWA WAS RIGHT THERE AND HE DID IT BETTER THAN YOU fucking stealing his bleach japan shit too. you might be able to steal bleach japan and piss me off about it the entire time because fucking everyone and their grandmother besides zhao seems to have forgotten fucking bleach japan but you can NOT steal Number One Hater Son from masato arakawa GET AWAY FROM HER 🗣️🗣️🗣️ 'why did masumi arakawa have to get himself killed' BECAUSE HIS NUMBER ONE HATER SON HAD HIM KILLED BECAUSE HE WAS A BETTER HATER THAN YOU SHUT UP

another thing that pissed me off to no end was the sawashiro shit fuckin Oh He Kept Him Alive Because He Wanted Him To Stop Him SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP I HATE YOU . i really wouldve preferred if they just killed sawashiro like old man why are you here- WE DIDNT EVEN GET TO SEE YOUR EYE GET GOUGED but im getting off topic. NOTHING bout what we've seen from ebina could convince me he Wanted To Be Stopped like absolutely nothing i dont want to hear this bullshit excuse. it is MERELY just reminding me of ichi being like 'i wish i couldve been there to stop you' @ aoki and its making me pissed

like im the only person who cares this intensely because im the only person who likes aoki enough like this and im trying NOT to mention him so much and just focus on ebina but its just so annoying... like its impossible NOT to see the parallels, especially when the game is practically bashing it into my brain every three seconds. like if we're talking aoki/masato-adjacent antags then i like eiji so its not the fact that HE IS aoki adjacent that pisses me off its just that he has no agency OUTSIDE of being a ghost of him. like there's nothing interesting about him in the slightest and he's barely even on screen why are you forcing me to give a fuck about this twat. if anything the one aoki thing i wish they did mirror onto him was dying at the end i do not care about this man

#iw spoilers #spoilers #snap chats #i think these are all my thoughts. or at least the very basics #point is Resident Aoki Fan Hates The Guy Reminiscent Of Aoki more at 11 #its like .... aoki was an interesting antagonist for his reasons you cant just frankenstein them onto this rando motherfucker #most deviantart oc ass backstory too literally kill yourself #OK IM DONE FR NOW. i wanna DRAW TODAY #maybe ill finally update my ichi blog cause ive had a post sketched for weeks but i keep getting distracted on sundays #im also driving back to school later so .... heres to hoping i have energy tonight vjeLVKERJ #im drawing other bullshit rn .. lol..

we should go back to making invader zim amvs to three days grace songs

fun fact, the reason zoetrope's face situation is what it is, is because when first designing him -checks notes- over a decade ago, jeepers, i literally was just going "i wanna Invert the usual psychic triclops set up" and that was all it was at the time.

serendipity is cool or whatever 10 years ago vs now

they glow up so fast

#mog art #zoetrope #he's the OC my brain refuses to stop rotating in my mind this season #eventually i'll get bored and start chewing on someone else but for now #sometimes your edgy deviantart era flavored OCs can survive The Culling #ad irony can only carry you so far i hate that i love this little fucker so much now #god damn it

Screaming and crying screaming and crying screaming and crying screaming and crying-

I understand thinking Meganium is the worst Grass Starter (even thought it's my second favourite Grass final evolution :c) because it's moveset sucks

I understand thinking Emboar is the worst Fire Starter because it's the third Fire/Fighting Type and people were sick of them (even though his design inspiration is FUCKING AWESOME because it's based on Journey to the West like Infernape is and it's a FLAMING BOAR)

But Quaquaval? FUCKING QUAQUAVAL?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Haters can't handle a fruity Carnivale duck, so sad. 😔

#pokémon #quaquaval #emboar #meganium #Wow how can someone be 100% wrong #Like come on its literally Water Blaziken #Don't see anyone hating on Blaziken now do ya? #I think the only reason why people hate Quaquaval is because of the New Starters Are The Worst thing that's been going on since 2011 #Even it's name is bursting with creative word combo #It's Quack + aqua + Carnivale it sums it up to a tee #I think the worst Water Starter is Hisuian Samurott #Samurott was already underwhelming but then they turned it into someone's edgy DeviantArt OC #AND THIS IS COMING FROM SOMEONE WHO FUCKING LOVES SAMUROTT TO DEATH #IT WAS MY FIRST POKÉMON I GOT IT'S PLUSHIE #Quaquaval's got a really creative design #I'm on Team Sprigatito but I won't stand for the Quaxly slander

Tulsi and Simon at the beginning of my novel--both trainwrecks in their own unique ways ~ had a lot of fun with this one. Every time I do a new full-body piece, I feel a little closer to letting my readers see them exactly like I do.

Artists note: Please consider reblogging and tagging (I read every one of them)! This isn't tiktok or insta, so likes--while well-meaning--do nothing to get my work out there, and I really miss reading comments and feedback.

#art #my art #artists on tumblr #character design #I hate to sound whiny because I appreciate any interaction at all #but the reblog to like ratios are getting insane and my views / interaction are both dropping drastically #even while my art is improving #I really miss the golden deviantART days when feedback was the default #it was just expected #I got to interact with so many of my followers and it was really fun #now it just feels a bit lonely out here #so yeah if you have any investment in my work at all #and would like to make my day a bit brighter #please please reblog

i wish i could draw again. It’s strange to loose what i loved for my whole life

#sorry to complain about this a millionth time…. it’s odd #it’s a chore to me. for so very long now.. and i feel so deeply unsettled and upset by this. #Joy is found in enjoying things but this hasn’t been one of them in almost 2 years now. i’m still thinking that this is #because methods of sharing art are scattered now. #i don’t .. want to post in a discord server where it gets burried #i don’t want to post on twitter where i fight for it #or on tumblr where it’s hard to tag anything unique or self made #fur affinity is close to deviantart but it’s all artists looking for commissions ( very valid #but i miss the communication and comments ..) #deviantart is a joke and i hate insta/tiktok… ect… #maybe that’s it… no reason to draw in my mind cause no one will see it #sorry. i really don’t think my art is Bad necessarily and i appreciate evryone thats ever liked it! #but it’s just. hard #In General…? #speak #oh well… here’s to hoping
