able-bodied artists (or artists who don't have the relevant disabilities even if they are physically disabled in some way) really need to start checking themselves because i have seen more than enough ableist garbage on my TL recently. i don't get any traction on twitter though so i'm posting this here instead.

1. i'm not giving my thoughts on "AI art" because i do not have the patience and energy but bringing up physically disabled artists with limb differences, motor impairments, etc. (the ones that able-bodied people put on a pedestal because inspiration porn, anyway) as a gotcha is just as bad as the "AI art" bros you're arguing with who aren't disabled themselves (or disabled in these ways) but also tokenize these forms of disability. we're not ammunition in online discourse, i bet 10-1 that you people never uplift and empower and give a platform to disabled artists w/ limb differences/motor impairments/etc. in your online art spaces otherwise, and any logic that amounts to "this disabled person can do [x] so you're just not trying hard enough/what's your excuse?" is always always ALWAYS ableist no matter how you try to spin it, sorry.

if you don't have these conditions and consider yourself an ally to us then you do not have any business speaking with any kind of authority in conversations involving limb differences, motor impairments, etc. and art-making, or bringing artists with these conditions up when people are talking art-making and accessibility. full-stop. speaking from experience, being an artist with coordination and motor skill impairments when i'm surrounded by artists who aren't hindered by those things (even if physically disabled) really takes a mental toll on you and being all "oh this guy learned to draw with his teeth, so" does not help that whatsoever.

2. speaking as a horror artist/author - critically examine what you consider monstrous or horrific and the overlap between that and visible physical disability. not only have i had the above nonsense shoved in my face but then semi-popular art account posted a few photos (from online assumedly) that they called "monster eyes" when one of those images was leukocoria and another looked something like tonic pupil and/or coloboma (the pupil looked atypically large and out of place.) structrual eye conditions that cause visible differences aren't "monstrous." one of the images had crystals growing out of the eye, which, yeah! do more with that. but consider that images of "freaky" eyes you find on the internet are in fact eye conditions that real people have and what you're doing is associating how their bodies look with "monstrosity."

people have talked about this quite a bit with limb differences, bodily proportions, gait differences, motor impairments, etc. but i've never seen it talked about nearly as much with eye conditions. stop associating aspects of visible bodily differences with horror and monstrosity. even if it's unintentional that's purely due to your ignorance of the wealth of conditions that cause disability. exploration of disability and bodily difference within the context of horror and monstrosity can and honestly should be explored but that should be left to to those of us who actually understand what that is like rather than those who only have an outside perspective.

generally i'm very tired of able-bodied artists and then any physically disabled ones who lack respect for those of different experience to their situation.

guys will have trouble sleeping and draw goat woman in their notes app to cope

id. two digital black and white sketches of wuvvy from a court of fey and flowers. wuvvy is a satyr woman with long, curly hair that parts in the middle, backward curling horns, goat ears and a goatlike nose and eyes. she also has freckles. wuvvy is looking upward and away with a tired expression. the only difference in the two images is that in the second, wuvvy is also given a small curly goatee. end id.

Hello people of tumblr dot com

This is just a reminder that I do not allow any reuploads of Art Heist, Baby! onto any other platform. Art Heist, Baby! lives on ao3 and ao3 exclusively.

Really upset to find out that people who have messaged me privately on here asking to upload Art Heist onto other platforms just went ahead and did it anyway when I politely asked for them to keep my work on ao3. Even after I explained why I wasn't comfortable uploading it to other sites.

I could go into the details of how sites like wattpad are for-profit companies and are naturally inclined to favor whatever makes them the most amount of money even if it's at the expense of writers and I could go into my own issues with those sites capitalising off of writer's creative output/hobby etc. etc. (not to mention the reuploads were not tagged and didn't include chapter warnings at all 🤠) but the point is I shouldn't have to.

You (in a very general but also pejorative sense) should respect my decision to keep Art Heist on ao3. I realize that uploading something to the internet means that I put myself at risk of losing control of my content but come on, y'all. It's in my pinned post and I've told people multiple times to not reupload my fic anywhere else. It's my fic, and my writing, and I don't think it's too much to ask to keep it to ao3.

Anyway, I've already reached out to the people who have posted my fic elsewhere and corrected the issue, but I thought I would go ahead and make it abundantly clear that Art Heist, Baby! is for ao3 and ao3 only in the hopes that this issue doesn't arise again!

#yall i am so tired icl #i am so pro translation/pro spin off/ pro alternate ending #like if you're inspired to work within the ahb! universe do it but jesus fucking christ my one thing #my one request #was to keep my work on ao3 only #also yes hello i promise u all im not ignoring ur asks and dms and things i am just done w this blog at the moment #im only here bc once again PEOPLE DONT KNOW HOW TO ACT #i am angry abt this not gonna lie #esp bc one of the people literally was begging me to put ahb! on wattpad and i explained why i wasn't comfortable with that #and they did it anyway #and obviously this doesn't apply to the majority of yall reading this #and for that im gonna apologise for the harsh tone bc yall are absolute peaches #okay that's all from me atm #peace out girl scouts! #i hope you all are well <3 #art heist baby!

[genius--built]

yknow it is the internet and all, so I can’t really say I could’ve expected better. but the last drawing I posted was not intended to be ship art. I would’ve been up front about it if that had been my intent. I’ve gone and tagged it at the request of a few people, but this is not a blog where I will be posting stuff that should result in genuinely threatening asks, so I’d appreciate some civility. I’ve been here less than 2 weeks, you don’t even know me.

#aide screams #antis would love to chase every perceived proshipper off the internet #and despite this not being a tcest blog I’m fielding threats from people over art that doesn’t feature any romance #I am not made of spite. I joined the fandom a week ago and I’m just trying to make friends #it just isn’t worth being attacked over #it absolutely takes a village to stand up to hateful ppl and I don’t have any friends in this fandom yet so yknow #no ones got my back and it’s not worth the RSD to put up with #I’m not leaving yet but if the ridiculousness continues I will go Anon and stop fielding the bullshit bc it’s undeserved #I know antis love to get a rise out of ppl and I’m just feeding the flames but jfc this IS an 18+ blog and I stg most of y’all are minors #I can’t honestly believe someone over 18 would send a stranger on the internet threats over fictional characters. it’s childish as hell #I’m beginning to understand why this fandom has such a problem with authors and artists MASS DELETING everything they’ve ever made #antis even crawled into the ask box on my LoZ blog. like. wtf is wrong with you

Oh btw I don’t think I ever posted my bnha lov-themed vest I made back in uhhh…2019? 2020? I made it when the 2nd movie came out, and it was the last movie I saw in theaters before covid hit 😓 this was really my first time painting on fabric so I can see a lot of mistakes now, but I still think it’s pretty fun!!

#I’m going to sell it that’s why I’m suddenly taking pics of it aaa #I never wear it I legit ONLY wore it to the premiere. cool vests like this are not rly my style. I’m not cool enough 😔 #I just keep going back and forth on how much to charge bc again it’s messy. also THE PAINT ISNT SEALED OOPS #so if whoever buys it wants to WASH IT they’d have to seal it first #I mean. it’s clean. it’s literally been in my closet for 3 years untouched. but still 😂 #bnha #league of villains #my art #kinda?? I’d feel weird putting this on my art blog lol #I’m rly proud looking back actually bc I’ve gotten way better t making stuff like this! #my tmm jacket! and my wip jacket I’m making rn (sea and star themed) are so cute #sanchoyorambles #anyway if anyone is interested I’ll list it in my depop soon!! same name as here :-)

hi, i love your work and i know you have a lot of experience handling reposts, and i really need help.

i’m an artist who has their work reposted on facebook. i filed two dmca reports with links to the original posts on tumblr and twitter and to the post im reporting, but facebook denied both of them. both for the reason that they couldn’t be certain i was the rights owner.

in the first report i filed, i didn’t put the address in the correct format so i thought that was the problem. the second one, i don’t know what i did wrong.

do i have to use my real house address? the one i provided is the workplace of a family member. do i make “name of rights owner” my full name? i put my username minus the underscore both times i filed. i sign my works like this and it’s visible on the artwork (username minus underscore). do i put back the underscore to make it match my twitter name? my tumblr varies slightly. do i make it match tumblr instead? is there a specific thing i need to write in the “please provide any additional information…” box? do i need a facebook art account to report the post? or is it not working because it’s fanart? i know of artists who were able to get their fanart taken down on facebook so is where i live the issue? i’m really sorry for all the questions. i just don’t know what to do.

Hey there, I am so incredibly sorry this has happened to you. I'll do my best to help.

I'm not sure if my advice is the "best," and if there are legal professionals here who can provide better advice, definitely listen to them! But here's what I have done, with success having DMCA takedowns go through, including on Facebook:

1) I have always used my full legal name, sometimes with a parentheses handlename (tumblr user YukiPri, and/or Twitter user YukiPri_Art, depending on the platform) afterwards. When adding your handle, it should be formatted exactly the way it is to find your various socials, as that is likely part of the verification process. If you have slightly different handles on different platforms, I recommend doing what I did in the example and specifying "Tumblr user XXX" etc for each one. I do believe they still require your full legal name, and you should make very clear which parts of the name field is your legal name, and which parts are social media handles.

2) I have always used my full home address. I completely understand how deeply uncomfortable this is, and I share that discomfort and I am so sorry that you've been put in a situation where you have to experience. I understand the fear of doxxing. But I believe this is also necessary for legal reasons.

I'm not sure if a family member can consent to have their full name/address used in your place, perhaps as a "representative." But I feel like that makes things more complicated, so I've never used it and have always filled out my full info. If anyone with professional legal experience has different advice, I am all ears.

3) You do not need a facebook account, though sometimes it unfortunately is helpful, especially if the post is in a locked account. Either way, you need the link to the EXACT link with the infringing work.

4) Likewise, you need to provide the EXACT link to the work that was infringed, preferably that matches your watermark, since it appears you use one.

From the info you've given me, the only thing I can think of is that they were not able to match your legal name to the address you provided, and therefore cannot verify that you're a real person. I could be wrong. It's stressful, but at the same time I'm glad they have a process in place for making sure not anyone can file DMCA—imagine the chaos and evil people could do if anyone could claim anything was theirs!

It's a horrible and incredibly stressful process to file DMCA claims, and I am so frustrated that we artists have to feel this immense stress to reclaim our stolen work instead of people simply respecting that they have the privilege of viewing our work for free.

I really, REALLY hope this helps you, Anon. Please be assured that Facebook HAS removed my art for me before via DMCA (though sometimes it's taken a while), and I really hope the above works for you.

In addition, while I hate that you have to do more to protect yourself and your work, please consider the following in the future, if you haven't already:

-Add your full url/handle, not just signature to your watermark. I know it's ugly, i HATE having large watermarks, but my watermark has evolved into this for a reason:

My watermark, shockingly enough, isn't actually for people who have stolen my work, or the few people who might see my stolen work who might decide to follow it back to my socials. I mean, that'd be nice, but I know how rarely that happens.

My watermark is designed more so that it's easy for social media staff to verify that my work is my own when I file a DMCA. I want it to be as easy as possible for them to look at my art and for them to say yup, this is definitely by YukiPri_Art @ Twitter and YukiPri @ Tumblr!

Also use simple, legible fonts. I know it can be ugly, so I do try to color them all or choose different fonts to match the work in question. But again, the main point of this watermark to me is so that staff can read it quickly. I want their job to be as easy as possible.

-I also explicitly state "Do Not Repost" on my artwork itself. I have heard "Oh but I didn't know," too many times, dozens, no hundreds of times, even if it's on the post itself, even if it's in my bio. None of that means anything anyway once someone reposts it. But if I stamp "DO NOT REPOST" onto the art itself, there is no denying that the thief reposted with full awareness that they are stealing, and it is a sign to EVERYONE that they did that. More often than not, people have come to me to tell me about my stolen work so I can file a DMCA because of this line.

-Place your watermark somewhere hard to crop out. If it's near an edge, anywhere that you can square marquee and crop without chopping off essential parts of your art, people will crop. I absolutely despise that I have to do this to my art, but placing it near the center, close to the face/body so that cropping it out would mean chopping most of the image and therefore making it unattractive, usually will discourage the thief from editing it out. After all, art thieves are at heart lazy and do not want to do work for attention.

-In that same line, if your art has relatively flat colors, consider adding a bit of a gradient or pattern/texture, at least to the part with the watermark. Or, simply place your watermark in an area with multiple colors/complex lineart (yeah I know, I hate covering up those parts too). This is also so that a thief at least willing to open photoshop to attempt to erase your watermark will have a more difficult time. If it's too much of a pain, they usually won't bother.

I hope this info was helpful, and again i truly hope you get your case resolved, and that you never have to experience this again!!

i rlly am gonna lose it one day on one of these fandom bloggers who put their shipping content in band tags WHY ARE YOU DOING THAT

#i get it like the post is always abt how like. just like heaven is sooooo byler or whatever. but i just. why not JUST put that in the #directly relevant tags. i do not want to see it #do u know what i saw today on my very own dashboard. rick and morty art. shipping content. in the black sabbath tab bc it vaguely reference #iron man. i replied and politely asked if it needed to be in that tag and they got pissy w me lol #ive done that before mainly w stranger things blogs bc for some reason they are ALWAYS in the cure tag and they always like very sheepishly #apologize and take it out of the tag bc they like. know. that its annoying #I WAS NICE TOO like i didnt even make fun of them for posting rick and morty shipping art which i had every right to do bc it was very much #out of their lane #like i think ppl have the right to do cringe shit and i wont make fun of them for it as long as they arent actively bugging me. #but it was very much actively bugging me and i was STILL NICE #like i feel like as a rick and morty fan in the year of our lord two thousand and twenty three u have to have some sense of self awareness #right? but i guess not. i mean i guess everyone left has literally no shame #anyway after that interraction i just sighed and blocked them and moved on and literally one scroll later what do i see. a post #abt how just like heaven is soooooo byler #in my dash bc its in the cure tag. #AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! #die one thousand deaths!

Something Something Cookie Run OC.

On International Tea Day, I present to you Calming Tea Cookie. She works at a cafe like Starbucks or maybe Panera Bread and is the embodiment of a chill housecat. It's just her natural disposition, and it's virtually impossible to rile her in any way. Permanent resting uwu face. Voice claim is Lucy Liu (sounds like Viper from Kung Fu Panda or Mei from Mulan 2).

#i actually don't pay too much attention to cookie run but i thought i'd make an oc just bc #also just to ship her with madeline cookie bc they're complimentary opposites in disposition XD #hence why i put the self ship blog marker there instead of the art blog one #she'll probably just stay here unlike my lego oc #🎨 my art #oc: calming tea cookie #self ship oc #cookie run oc #ok to rb

working to post the first few chapters of a new fic, but scrolling my dash in between and wondering what the point is lmao

#seeing posts back to back like why are ppl leaving fandom or at least not writing or putting out as much art anymore #then the next is someone trying to address fandom issues that are probably part of the reason why ppl are stepping back #sharing stuff is fun making stuff is fun but now maybe isn't the right time #for me at least bc like. whatever im getting anons again and deleting them as i go #but im just. irked this morning bc trying to make headway on the discourse issues seems to be impossible at times #and in the meantime posting fic sometimes feels inappropriate #overall im probably just salty bc i worked all day yesterday on this new thing and got hyped for it and i shouldn't have #bc this happens all the time and then i feel like i wasted my time #whatever this is gonna probably net me more angry messages but fuck this is my personal blog and i need to vent

the absolute clown behavior of tumblr’s policy to randomly blacklist some of your posts “to avoid spamming tags”... not that i hold any hope to have my stuff reblogged by anyone but the 5 active people that still follow me but it’s the principle of it

#yesterday i had to postpone posting my drawing bc i accidentally put it on when an og post came out of the queue #today i had to delete another photoset from tonight's show bc i already made 2 og posts #it's insulting as me trying to show my art outside my circle of friends #and it's insulting as me trying to offer some kind of content that isn't a link to one of their songs on spotify or youtube #for this almost dead fandom #yet an old time name can pop up here every 3 months make 2 posts and having one showing first in the latest section and disappear again for #another 3 months #like why the hell people trying to give/create content on the regular should be penalized? it's so unfair #and why a monothematic blog should be penalized over a miscellaneous one? #rant against the tumblr machine
