Your bird of paradise oc is pretty,,,

Orang,,,

What species are they based on?

thank,,, fun fact they're primarily inspired by the flower and then secondarily the bird

I forgor to note down which species I based them off of way back when but I think it was the standardwing?

Edit: turns out I didn't have a specific species so haHA it is now the standardwing!

I wonder... does this blog have enough reach in the fandom that we could try and finally put a stop to people tagging unrelated AUs as LU.

The correct term to use is "Links meet AU" and the reason the mistagging hurts is because:

A) It dismisses the creativity of the work. Its a lot like saying someone's original character looks like a fictional character you know. It may be a small unintended insult but it can be demoralising and make them not wish to share their art anymore.

B) It connects all AUs of this type to Jojo, the creator of LU. That comic was not the first links meet au by a long shot. YES her work inspired many of us to start our own imagines of the same base concept, but that does not make them Linked Universe. It's like claiming someone inspired by spider-man deciding to explore the superhero genre is just making more spider-man.

Yes this may be a small issue, but I've been working on this webcomic since 2020 and still get those demoralising tags. I've been silently baring it long enough. Even worse is seeing how it hurts fellow creators in the fandom.

I don't like asking this but... Please spread this post and if you'd like: add your own experiences below. Maybe we can change things around here.

#checking original tags is useful but some people won’t bother - seems like u gotta put that in the text of the original post #me though? i’m gonna be blocking bc it’s annoying

showing my ocs to my friend when he asked me if i would be continuing the bird inspired trend and that's when i realized there was a trend

if yall ever want like serious advice from me about how to solve burnout as a creative it's like...

literally ignore it. stop pushing. go do something else, enjoy your life, fill it with other things, do what brings you joy in the moment if you can.

go to the gym, take a walk to touch grass and look at dogs and smell flowers, cook dinner, watch tv with your friends, talk about your feelings as needed with ppl you trust, take a drive and blast your music, do the chores you need to do, the job hunting slog you need to do, read books that aren't for research, stop cordoning off your brain for The Craft or The Draft or whatever the fuck

forget about the project, stop thinking about it for as long as it takes to be excited again.

fuckin rest, basically

#YEA especially if you're doing this creative stuff as a hobby or the projects are just for fun! #my sleepy brain has not recovered from the time I tried to push through

its official: tumblr is selling our data to Midjourney

we'd been hearing rumors about this for a bit but now its open and out there. some details from this article

it goes without saying, but if @staff goes through with this its going to be an utter shitshow and im all but certain the website will not survive it.

#apologies for the spamming here but this post had more context

[mmmwafflesart]

Tumblr is doing some stupid AI shit so go to blog settings > Visibility > Prevent third-party sharing.
