Small artists you need to understand that when you see an artist who you think has 'made it' tells you not to worry about the numbers and to not fret about getting more likes than reblogs they are not telling you it because they think you are stupid for caring or because they dont need to network to survive they are very likely telling you that because they have witnessed first hand the way the numbers game tears people to shreds in terms of mental health and motivation

hi!! I was reading some of ur reacent requests and i loved them and i was wondering if i too could request something. I’m ace, just means asexual wich means i dont have a sexual desire towards other people ( but i do fall in love !! ) and although there are people who do have sex, I wouldn’t and i was wondering if you could write something with Lucio/Julian reacting to a non binary mc breaking down because they dont want to disappoint them??? Sorry if its weird i just love angst and my mennnnn
thanks, dear! here’s julian for ya :)
when he first found out, Julian was ecstatic that you trusted him so much
and also apologizing profusely for anything he’d done that would have made you uncomfortable
he’d never, ever make you do anything you didn’t want to
and he loved you all the same
but there were times you doubted yourself, doubted Julian’s love for you, doubted your worth
today was one of those days
you’d been watching Julian furiously scribble on a piece of parchment, heart swelling at how much you loved him
but you were also thinking about how much he deserved
he was such a wonderful man, took such wonderful care you and your house and anything else he could help out with
he was always at the shop on his free time, chatting you up or helping organize vials
he deserved everything he wanted
and you felt like you couldn’t give him that
you were sitting on a chair adjacent to where Julian worked, thankfully covered by the shadow his lamp created
you held your face in your hands, feeling the tears overflowing and trying your hardest to control your breaths
as you exhaled, Julian’s head popped up and whipped toward you
“Everything alright?” he asked
you let out a small “mhm”
you lifted your head and saw him squinting at you
oh no
you didn’t want him to see you crying
but he was already up off of his chair and making his way toward you
you swallowed hard as he knelt in front of you
“What’s wrong?” he asked, tucking a short strand of hair behind your ear
“nothing,” you pipped
Julian huffed air out of his nose, “you can tell me, love.”
his voice was so soft and warm
you couldn’t help but fall forward to him
as he wrapped his arms around you, a sob escaped you
“shh,” Julian cooed, “it’s okay, it’s okay.”
he held you, squeezing every time your breath hitched, until you were calm enough to talk
“I just…” you began, “You deserve so, so much. Everything you could ever want, and I can’t give you that.”
Julian looked at you, confusion painted across his face, “what are you talking about?”
“I don’t want to disappoint you,” you cried.
“Disappoint? Love, what are you saying?”
Julian held you at arms length, staring into your eyes with fierce intensity, “Since the day we met you have never once disappointed me.”
“But-,” you started, and Julian shook his head.
“Not once,” he reaffirmed.
He brought you back close to him, running his fingers through your hair, “If I deserve anything I want, then I’ve already gotten what I deserve.”
“What?” you said, voice muffled by his shirt
“Love, all I want is you. Under any condition, under any circumstance, in every life and in every reality, all I want is you.”
You pulled away and stared at him
and he chuckled
“Don’t ever think anything less. I love you always.”
*shaky thumbs up, cracking voice* good post op

Applications will close on August 1, 2022 at 9 am PT and Ambassadors will be announced on August 5, 2022.
I hate doing this, and I do it as little as possible. But as of having one it's my responsiblity to tell people I have a Patreon, with tiers as little as 1USD, that I am struggling, and at this point every cent counts, and that you can win a commission by supporting me! (it bills once monthly) And that while my art will always be public for everyone to see, I am brainstorming some other benefits that could be good (any and all suggestions welcome of course).
I'm looking into making speedpaints at the moment. Maybe I could do some tutorials as well if anyone is interested?
Anyways, reminder. ☝️
Hi, that's me!! If you'd like to see more Arcana fanart, or want to win a commission, or just help me get by, consider supporting. Thank you.
I've seen dozens of posts now asking people to reblog things, and when I check the notes it's almost all people completely missing the point in the most obnoxious way possible, or just people who genuinely aren't familiar with the sites features (and on the lowest percentage, people who know about the features but knowingly don't reblog for one reason another, which is perfectly fine, I think) But all in all the replies are usually people who feel targeted for some reason... (which you are not, ignoring the post is fine, most of you have seen it because you follow someone who reblogued it, do I need to explain to you then, the value of reblogs? just ignore it and carry on, noone has @'d you)
Anyways, I do not think people who don't want to reblog things should.
What I think is that knowledge and understanding is important. This post is aimed at people that genuinely don't understand or know. Noone else. I'm not telling you to reblog things if you don't want to. I'm explaining something to people who might really just not know the benefits of reblogguing things.
Benefits of reblogging (besides the algorithm):
- Archive: There's a risk to using "likes" as an archive. When people delete a post or their blogs, their posts WILL be deleted from your likes. Things on your likes depend on the blog you liked it from (not necessarily OP, but if it has a "readmore", which always links to OP, then consider the post lost either way). An effective way to archive that depends solely on you? A reblog. It will stay on your blog regardless of OP or whoever you reblogued it from, for as long as you keep it there.
- Encouragement: Are you here because of fandom? To see writings and fanart? If the answer is yes and you want to encourage the people who make the things you like, then reblogging is a great way to do it. It's a way to give back, and it's free.
- Ecosystem: It's just a healthy way to keep your fandom alive. You will often see artists feeling dicouraged, who delete or stop sharing their work because they only get likes. If people out there have the right not to reblog because they don't feel like it, then artists have the right to be discouraged by that sort of reception.
Reasons you might not want to reblog, and explanations:
- "Noone will see it": Factually wrong. Not everyone, but lots of people check the blogs of people who leave only likes/follow. Otherwise noone would know those blogs exist and noone would be raising a stink about it, would they? They might not follow back, but just going to your blog (because they saw you on their notifs) will already put before their eyes anything that is on it, if only for a minute. Like reblogs. So, somebody would see them.
-"I don't have any followers": If you don't want any followers, that's fair, you are doing what you should by keeping a blank blog then. If you want followers, reblogguing is a good way to do it. Often people will come across a blog that maybe doesn't post anything, but reblogs lots of things they like, and just follow. You've curated your reblogs in a way that someone decided to follow.
- "It doesn't fit the theme of my blog": Fair. I don't vibe with the posts that tell people to reblog things regardless. If you want to reblog things outside of your main blog's theme, you can make a secondary blog and reblog it there (you can make that blog a different theme too!). And if you don't want to reblog anything outside the one theme then you don't have to.
-"I don't want to spam": You don't have to! You can reblog things once a day, once a week, once a month, it's fine either way. Whether you reblog 1 thing or 200. Queueing things will automatically schedule them one hour apart I believe. But you can edit that manually by going to your queue tab, to however often you deem good.
-"I don't know what to comment": Then don't! You do not have to. A blank reblog is always preferable to none.
-"I don't want to reblog reblog bait/political stuff.": Then don't. That's far from the only thing on this hellsite. You don't have to if you don't want to.
-"I leave my likes public": Most people who go to your blog will not see them. Leaving them public or private is all the same.
-"I don't want to tag things.": Then don't. You do not have to, there's a reason this is one of the few sites that don't force you to tag anything you post. (It would be good practice to say you don't tag things in your bio though)
And finally:
-"I do not want to reblog it.": Then don't! If after reading and understanding all this, you don't want to reblog things, then don't. You have your reasons. You are using the site as you want to, knowingly. Like I said before, this post is for people who might NOT know these things.
