I have a sheezy.art now

my partner told me abt the site and I really like the vibes so i made an account. sheezy.art is a site specifically for artists and its really really cool. Ive already posted new art there that isnt on my tumblr.

i am stubbornly still not coming back to tumblr. but you can find my art on sheezy, cohost, toyhouse, artfight, and my animations on youtube, all under the name radiowlet.

#radio chatter

in light of recent events i am regrettably going back to cohost.

you can find me @ radio and find my art @ radiowlet with probably more copies of my various sideblogs in the future. as an artist the midjourney partnership is absolutely unacceptable and thats not even to mention the CEO's recent behavior. i wont post my art here and I wont give them my ad views (i use mobile, dont have storage space for firefox, cant block ads.)

ill be around a little bit just for a few webcomics i follow+to support friends of mine who arent leaving yet but other than that dont expect to see much of me here anymore.

if anyone knows any other alternative sites feel free to reach out (but note i have the shadowban bug so messaging me wont be an option. you can still send me asks you just wont get notified when i respond to them. or just comment on this post)

i highly recommend commissioning your favorite artist soon if you can afford it. throw some support their way, we could all use it right now.

its been great. mostly.

fuck you tumblr. 🔨

Hi, Tumblr. It’s Tumblr. We’re working on some things that we want to share with you. 

AI companies are acquiring content across the internet for a variety of purposes in all sorts of ways. There are currently very few regulations giving individuals control over how their content is used by AI platforms. Proposed regulations around the world, like the European Union’s AI Act, would give individuals more control over whether and how their content is utilized by this emerging technology. We support this right regardless of geographic location, so we’re releasing a toggle to opt out of sharing content from your public blogs with third parties, including AI platforms that use this content for model training. We’re also working with partners to ensure you have as much control as possible regarding what content is used.

Here are the important details:

We already discourage AI crawlers from gathering content from Tumblr and will continue to do so, save for those with which we partner. 

We want to represent all of you on Tumblr and ensure that protections are in place for how your content is used. We are committed to making sure our partners respect those decisions.

To opt out of sharing your public blogs’ content with third parties, visit each of your public blogs’ blog settings via the web interface and toggle on the “Prevent third-party sharing” option. 

For instructions on how to opt out using the latest version of the app, please visit this Help Center doc. 

Please note: If you’ve already chosen to discourage search crawling of your blog in your settings, we’ve automatically enabled the “Prevent third-party sharing” option.

If you have concerns, please read through the Help Center doc linked above and contact us via Support if you still have questions.

I should note, I hate the soulmates "we would fall in love in every universe" trope for the aforementioned "where's the tension and interest and really anything worthwhile" reasons. However, "we would find each other in every universe" fucking rips. We would interact meaningfully in every universe but sometimes we are lovers and sometimes we are friends and sometimes we are bitter enemies and sometimes we'd simply both be in the same HOA.

I think about Darkstalker and how love is so closely intertwined in it. His love for others (namely Clearsight, Foeslayer, Whiteout, and Fathom) is a central part to his character and the choices he makes.

I think back to his earlier enchantments. He enchanted Whiteout's favourite doll so that it would always appear under her pillow if she ever lost it. He enchanted her paint set so that they would never dry out. A plate for Foeslayer so that her food would always be warm if she came home late. He made dreamvisitors so that, even when they slept, Darkstalker, Fathom, and Clearsight could make memories and have fun.

He wants them to be happy. His love language is using his magic to gift them things he believes they want.

But, of course, what he believes isn't often what is reality.

He observed and watched Fathom experience constant anxiety and guilt over his magic. His magic he rightfully saw as a curse, unable to see it as little more than a tool for destruction and harm after witnessing the SeaWing massacre. He felt pity and sorrow for Fathom, believing that his fear was preventing him from realizing his true potential. Darkstalker tried numerous times to convince him, but when that turned out as a failure, he moved to do it by force. He enchanted the goblet to make him forget about his oath, stop caring about Indigo (who Darkstalker saw as a pest that was trying to turn Fathom against him), and willingly use his magic. He loved Fathom and thought this was best for him.

He saw first-hand how affected Clearsight was by her visions. She would neglect sleep and fall into spirals of existential dread and panic over the overwhelming nature of it all. He created the earring because he believed that it would've helped her. It was definitely also because he wanted her to keep quiet about all of these terrible futures since it was an annoying distraction, but he convinced himself it was all okay and was helping her. He loved Clearsight and thought this was best for her.

His ideal world is one where he gets to reign supreme over all of the other tribes, with him and his loved ones remaining at the top. He thought that was what was best for them all. He was convinced that's what they wanted, and even if they didn't realize it now, they would come to see that he truly wanted the best for them.

A lot of people see Darkstalker's intentions of that as purely sinister. He wanted Fathom to use his magic so that he would have another animus dragon on his side. He wanted Clearsight to shut up about the horrific futures she saw. I don't disagree with there being darker undertones, he's definitely manipulative and self-serving, but I like thinking he did care about them. Could it be because he liked being praised? Yeah, obviously, I don't doubt that, but he cared about them. He loved them.

But his love was not healthy. It was inconsiderate and selfish. It was done mainly out of his own interests and projected ideas of what they "wanted", whether he was aware of it or not. He was a tar pit who dragged others in, thinking that what he was doing was best for them. That his love and protection above all else would help them. He was unaware of how much hurt and damage he was doing to them.

#OK THIS IS WHAT I MEANT TO RB. LMAO. #not to fandompost on ghe oc blog but THIS IS WHAT IM AIMING FOR W HELIOS #he does love the cats around him. howl especially. he truly deeply wants the best for them #he just also happens to believe that whats best for them is for him to be in control of everything #helios #the bleeding star

GUESS WHO GOT A REDESIGN !!!! HEAVILY !!!

@sevenredsuuns helped me out with picking colors for his new design !!

under the cut will just be a little bit of rambling abt michael and his new design

mike's original design was made very very hastily during the first few hours of rrfd being conceived and I've been unhappy with it for a while, but I'm weird about redesigning my ocs so I've just been sitting with it. but we've been revamping some stuff about the story lately and Kaden also got redesigned so I decided to just bite the bullet and overhaul him too, and i'm really really happy with the result!!!

michael is a character that's very very special to me and it's important to me that his design reflects who he is accurately.

his original design had very little going on which. doesn't fit very well considering he's my most developed and thought out oc. i wanted to give him more markings, colors that looked nicer together, and just. generally a better design. i also wanted to separate him more from the design he was initially based on (which was emote, yeah ill say it, i havent exactly been making much effort to hide it lmao. kinda obvious if you know who emote is). and most importantly i wanted it to actually have some thought put into it, because i didnt give myself Time to really think about his original design while making it. so there's some symbolism going on here too.

rrfd has long since evolved way past the thing it was originally based on (though the original story will always be very very special to me as well), both in terms of the main story and the world we've been crafting for it, and im really proud of how far its come. its been an absolute joy working with these characters the past few years and i am so excited to enter this sort of new era for them !!! these silly guys are so important to me!!!

#Uh Oh

[radiowlet]

You ever have a couple of characters who you wouldn't say you Ship but are definitely weird about each other. I have several personally

#.....starkiller and gameshow

[radiowlet]

you are personally and directly hit by a bus¹ and isekai-ed, via resurrection, into the body of the main character your most recent WIP

reblog and tell me: on a scale of 1–10, how screwed are you right now?

¹ this is, transparently, a plot device, so if you are about to tell me "joke's on you, I never leave my fifteenth floor apartment!" then you may rest assured it will have tremendous comedic value when the bus is launched into the sky and crashes through your apartment wall to flatten you anyway

#um. if we count drawing wips. im one of the bleeding star side characters neither of which bodes well for me #i can be the guy that dies or howl's new bestie after the horrors ...
