They are already selling data to midjourney, and it's very likely your work is already being used to train their models because you have to OPT OUT of this, not opt in. Very scummy of them to roll this out unannounced.

reasons to not quit writing:
your writing is a skill, not an inborn talent (unless, yeah, maybe it is). not everyone can do what you do and love
everyone says they want to write a book. everyone has what it takes to write a book. not everyone does it anyway. you be the small percentage of success you read about
your writing will always seem brickshit horrible because you wrote and read it a million times
you love this writing thingy. quitting it will be like cutting off your fingers one by one.
someone out there will want to read what you wrote.
someone out there wants to know what is on your mind. 
someone out there appreciates your art. they will share it with their friends. they will share it with their loved ones. they will share it with their future self because maybe what you wrote saved them.
if you give up now, you know you will just come back to it again, whether it’s years from now, months, or next week. you love writing, that’s why you planted the seed of thought that you are going to write this book, and whether you come back to it or not, your unwritten stories will come back to you.

art tips
don't call what you create "content". regardless of what it is. that's the devil talking. call it art, call it writing, call it music, call it analysis, call it editing, literally just call it what it is
I was going to put other things but oh my god please just don't call yourself a "content creator". you are a person you are making art / writing / music / etc you are an artist an author a musician
you are not an Image Generator For Clicks And Views. please. allow yourself to connect with your work by naming it properly and acknowledging yourself in kind

A Welcome That's Way Overdue!
Tumblr media
Some of you coming across this post may find the above image familiar. Maybe even boring - heralding as the pinned post to the small Reddit community you've grown accustomed to. Others may be seeing this and saying, "Cool colors, but I'm sorry- who or what is this?"
Please let us introduce ourselves!
This is a new Tumblr account in connection with the IndieOtome subreddit and the IndieOtome Twitter account- both made with the express intent of supporting the ever growing world indie otome community. We are a part of the indie otome game development industry as well as the amazing fandom, so we have a lot of love for it all!
The subreddit has finally reached a point of change to support our 2100+ members (!Omg I remember when there were just 7 of us!) We now have a full mod team full of amazing individuals who love the genre and genuinely care for the community, working closely together to begin planning events in and outside of the subreddit, as well as a community wiki that we will expound on as the community grows and evolves.
The otome community has grown so much and we are fortunate to be here in a time when so much dynamic growth is happening! We are by no means the forerunners of the community. From content creators to development communities to news blogs to fanzines, the community was already here- with dedicated individuals showing it love and establishing a foundation. We are are able to support this community because they helped to define it.
Which brings us to why we are here! On Tumblr!
Tumblr media
Twitter is great for short form shout outs, but theres just so much more going on in the industry- we'd like to talk more about it here and share more in depth information with fans about the talent that helps shape this community.
Some really cool people are helping us to format a way to share more news related content and events, show off upcoming related talent and content creators, as well as cool happenings in the fanspace, which definitely deserves all the love and hype!
And Tumblr is the place for us to show up show out!
Tumblr media
As the world is embracing romance in the form of Indie Otome and Amare games, we are seeing more rich and beautiful expressions of this story rich video game genre as well as a world community making their way towards solidarity in sharing these games and stories we love. And IndieOtome wants to be right there, sharing as well!
So let's kick this party off right!
Tumblr media
Since this is our introductory Tumblr post, lets share some of the first developer and game studio accounts this account has followed!
Tumblr media
We're just getting going, and it only gets more exciting from here! Starting humble and coming up!
Thanks for sticking around to read this intro post! If you know us, you know we are HYPE for Indie Otome (and Amare games too!), and even if you don't know, well, we cant wait to show you! 💗💯

we need a booty ranking for the ROs, stat! thank you OwO
Okay. I knew I couldn't "sit" on this forever. I tried though! But I mean booties really do come in all shapes and sizes and then there's preference and one person's cake is another person's badunkadunk! Anyway. I just decided I'd give the sheet over to Levi. I figured he would be able to read it without being flustered.
...and well, I might not have told him what the letter he was reading was about...
...and I might not have told Octavius he'd be hearing his booty ranking today...
I'm sure it'll be fine X'D

Tuff Mallow Update 3/8/23
Hello! As I approach the release for The Closet Door, I sometimes have a hard time trying to figure out what to discuss. I believe aside from updated trailer(s), I have shown off all the visual assets I can without getting too spoilery, and showing code snippets always seems boring to me. 
Tumblr media
Faun the 25yr old prodigy and a respected woman in the corporate world!
I have done a few cool things, such as add animations to The Closet Door that previously did not exist, so I’m excited about that! I also am at the last few chapters of coding and editing the code- I should be clear on the exact wordcount then. Before I began adding the script to code, I was at 270k+ words and was very proud of the script. (I write everything in Google docs, but edit as I export chapter by chapter to the Renpy game script files)
I’ve had to make some sprite corrections and some script corrections to accommodate fluidity in storytelling. That’s a big deal to me, so these are little corrections I’m making. I’m also tallying up choices/branches in order to flag a point system that is fair across routes. Some chapters split off at the start, so I want to make sure everything is fair in the end- or as even as I can make the routes without having to rewrite anything major. I did find out the silly way that there are a total of 15 possible endings. Somehow I forgot to add the bad endings in the tally before. Sorry about that! As soon as I’m sure of all changes, I’ll update the game page. 
As for other news, I do intend to finish Lake of Reflection for the Amare Game Festival 2023. It was a project close to my heart and I would like to finish it and share it and the talented voices that brought it to life with the world. 
It’s been a little late on getting Instagram posts going- but no worries! Sweet treats will be there before you know it- so stay tuned!

hello tumblr
i try not to make posts like this, but i’m rapidly running out of options, and i’m hoping some kind people will be willing to help me limp along for another month.
i’m a physically and mentally disabled trans person, and i’m in danger of becoming homeless. i recently lost my part time remote job, and since i cannot drive and have no access to public transportation, i’m effectively housebound.
i have an application in with disability, but government offices move slowly at the best of times, and my savings have unfortunately run dry.
i have until the end of the month to get the power bill together, or it’ll be shut off. my entire social circle is online, and i live in a very rural area, so without power i won’t have any ability to contact other human beings or do any work.
i’m hoping i can get at least enough together to cover a month’s worth of my costs while i search for a new job, but every little bit helps.
here’s my gofundme:
https://www.gofundme.com/f/xzdvqy-help-me-keep-my-home please signal boost if you can, every reblog and view helps. thank you for reading, and i hope you have a good day
edit: a few people asked, so i made an amazon wish list too

MY DATA IS SAVED!!! As of today, my computer has returned with all its data!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!
Tumblr media
I literally wouldn’t be here without the help!! Ah, thank you!!!!
PS: Sorry my carpet is unappealing.
I Don’t Know How to Make This Post...
Hey friends, I hate to do this, but my PC’s hard drive failed and I can’t afford all the repairs required. There’s a chance they can clone some of the data, but the process will cost $300CAD, and I can’t afford it. I’m about to lose years of creative work, I’ve poured my heart and soul into. I’ve spent the last two days devastated and heartbroken. Today’s my damn birthday, but it’s miserable because of this situation. I’m reaching out because I don’t know what else to do. I know this year and the last has been hard on everyone, but if there’s anyone who can help me, it’d mean the world to me. If I can reach this goal, it’s possible to save all the time, effort, and love I’ve put into my work. Otherwise it’s just…gone and I have to start over again. I have nothing to offer other than my creative talents. If you donate it’s possible I could draw something for you once my computer’s fixed, or send you a copy of the Otome game I’ve been working on in return. I’m really hoping I can fix this, and that there’s hope for me and my work. So please, if you can, consider donating. A kind soul has donated $50, so I need $300cad more to save my drive. You can donate to my Ko-Fi at https://ko-fi.com/ririkutai and my Paypal email is [email protected]
