Hey, it's been a minute

Life's been busy, of course, but that's not really the reason I haven't been posting here. In case you missed it, staff have at this point confirmed that they'll be selling user data to Midjourney for use in generative ai training datasets. While I have opted out of third-party data sharing in my blog settings (and you should do that too if you haven't!!), I'm still not terribly satisfied with this platform's handling of the situation.

Tumblr has, over the last year especially, demonstrated a complete lack of care or respect for the human beings that use their site. In this light, I do not expect them to follow through on this new venture with any regard for ethics or artists. If they cannot manage to moderate poc or trans women's blogs with the respect and gravity folks deserve on such a fundamental level, I cannot imagine the pattern will suddenly shift to value any one of us over marketability and profit.

I'm considering this development the final nail in a coffin that's been pretty much built for a while now.

My art on this blog will remain up, as an archive, because I consider the damage to be done. I will not be posting additional work here in the future. My sideblog might remain active to some extent (In case staff invents more hidden switches to flip without telling anyone), but I'm disinterested in my intellectual property being farmed for content generators without my consent (which I have not given) and appropriate compensation (which I have not received).

If you like my stuff, and want to see more, I'll be over on cohost pretty much exclusively, so feel free to come say hi. There's hot new art over there that neither you, nor Midjourney, have seen from me yet.

If this is where we part ways, thank you for all the kind words, rbs, and likes over the years. tumblr was my first experiment with posting my art publicly, and while it truly sucks for things to end this way, I'm happy for the time I've spent on here, and the friends I've made along the way.

I honestly dont expect much to change, but I've been looking for the motivation to start posting over on cohost anyways, so if the 3rd or 4th or however many tumblr apocalypse has you worried, you'll be able to find me here too.

(and btw if you arent familar with cohost you should peep the site, as well as the devs' manifesto. its some good fucken webbed site)

#just a reminder in light of recent staff bullshit

Bezüglich der Gummibärchen: sind die, die du als erstes isst die deiner Meinung nach Guten oder hebst du dir die Guten fürs Ende auf?

das Beste zum Schluss :)

character portrait (and armor reference) for my bladesinger wizard! I continue to work very hard suppressing the urge to bully him more than I already have and do.

pardon the fallen london: light fingers spoilers, hopefully the missing context is enough of a safeguard :)

May I humbly present the absolute worst couple in all the Neath, brought to you by moonmiser milk, master meddlings, and a fair bit of vivisepulture. And also their weird adopted son.

this is my terrible horrible bladesinger wizard looking far cooler than he has any right to. His name is Nollis and I think he should be hit with a fantasy car
