more about this blog down below lol
dni: dogman + petey romantic selfship doubles, com/dark/proshippers and variants + neutral, terfs/exclusionists/zionists, other basic dni stuff. tbh i sort of just block freely. im just trying to get through life one day at a time, ok? here's your free "block me" ticket 🎟️ go create some art or smth /srs
as you may or may not notice, i tend to use "text lingo" and have a few other typing quirks. i also sometimes use tone tags if i feel like they're needed. unless it's stated somewhere on your blog, please lmk if you don't want me to use tone tags when talking to you. i understand that some people have their reasons for not liking/using them
im too stupid, lazy and forgetful to do individual f/o tags (sorry!), but here's some frequent tags you'll see me use here:
#boost: for any commission or adopts post, but may also be used for donation or mutual/financial aid posts (unless they specify not wanting their post to be tagged)
#important commission info, #important commission info: for any posts about commissions
#important adoptables, #important adoptable, #important adoptable info: for any posts about adopts
#void rambles: for rambles about stuff that isn't self-ship related
#voids stupid lovesick gushing, #voids dumb lovesick gushing: for gushing/rambling about my f/os, and/or other self-shipping related stuff
#void vent: for when i vent about whatever's troubling me. i also use #vent, #vent tw and #tw vent for these posts. i will also do my best to add any specific tws if necessary. feel free to blacklist this tag if you don't wanna see my vents (trust me, i won't be offended), and please lmk if i need to add a particular tw (like i said, i try my best to add whatever tws i see fit, but better safe than sorry)
#void answers: for when i answer any asks or reblog chains/games im tagged in
#void games: for when i reblog an ask game of some kind. also used for when i make my own reblog games and reblog back people's entries
#supa cool self ship!: for any mutual's/person's self ship
#void commission: for any commissions i receive from artists i commissioned teehee
#commission for supa cool person: for any moodboard comms i make for others
#shouting into the void: a sort of "filler" tag ig? basically, if i find smth important, supa cool, or for whatever other reason i may have, ill add this tag to make it a bit easier for me to find lol. i also usually add this to other posts that may contain other tags of mine
#😺🐶😼 world's ohkay-ish polycule: OKOKOK so. that whole thing above abt me being lazy + stupid + forgetful and thus not doing f/o tags is still true. but due to currently fixating on this and almost seeing/treating it like a real/non-fictional relationship, i decided to make a tag for my bfs! i can assure u tho that it... did NOT take much effort to come up with this so hold your applause lol
uhhhhh i think that's it. congrats if you read this whole thing, you've earned my respect lol. if im missing anything then ill just add to this or whatever
hour 1 of shift: i love helping people and making people happy yay yay yay later today i am gonna go home and have fun and eat a tasty meal and work on my projects and
hour 6: if youu go to the store and buy groceriers you are a piece of shit
hour 8: if i wad 1 apples tall i could live off of one apple for a week... oh but it would rot away... no.... i hate the rot i hate the apple
Hello 👋 I saw your post and I'm interested😊 may i know if you are still looking for artist to commission? My commission is open 😊 my turn around time to finish the art work is about 1 to 3 days 😊 let me message you to send my art samples☺ thank you❤
Now you see, dear viewers, this is an example of the kind of commission spam bots that I said I'd shoot on sight. They may seem legitimate on the surface, but let's go over how to look out for them so that you don't have to waste your money on bad artwork or even not get anything in return.
For one, this "commission sheet" can't even be called that. It lists stuff that the artist can draw, and has a few example pictures, but notice how there's almost zero information on the stuff that would actually help you to get a good picture such as a terms of service. Not a single price is listed as well, which is the most important thing you would need to know prior to getting a commission. That is a major red flag.
Also, the way these items are listed give me the impression that this bot will draw everything on here. I'm sure there's some commissioners willing to go that far, but almost every artist I've come across has limits for what they draw. Doesn't it sound too good to be true?
"But wait, they do have art" sure, but let's actually look at it.
The art is very inconsistent. While artists can absolutely emulate different styles, the previous point of the commission info being next to nonexistent and the artist seemingly able to "draw everything" means that the artwork itself... looks like complete ass when you actually look at it in further detail. These bots are getting more clever by posting "timelapses" and "works in progress", but we all know what's really going on: It's AI generated either entirely or AI that's traced over.
Also, notice how this bot posts these "commissions" but never actually states who asked for them? While there are a few people who seemed to actually buy art from them, why are the posts by the artists completely uncredited?
So to recap: If an account is suspiciously quick to tell you that they're open for commissions right as you've made a post mentioning them, look further.
Is their commission information easy to access and upfront about their process?
Does their art style look different from one picture to the next, and does OP say that it's intentional?
Who are OP's clients? Why would OP be reluctant to say their names?
If it seems like OP can take any commission you ask, and in such a short time, are you absolutely certain that it's possible?
Listen to what Sonic says, kids: If it seems too good to be true, it's probably false.
Is anyone else terrified of tagging selfship related stuff with their f/o’s source material because they’re afraid of getting bullied? Or is that just a me thing
another friday another ramble/rant about shit i see on tik tok in the selfship community
i feel like people are starting to really try to dictate what others do on their own blogs/pages/with their own selfships to "protect" doubles feelings. i keep seeing takes that are like "you shouldn't do xyz because your doubles may see it and get upset".
like ive seen a couple of tik toks talking about how now apparently its problematic to call someone else's selfships canon because a double may see it and get upset about it
i also saw a lot of discussion about saying things like "i am [f/o]'s only love/one and only/canon bf/gf/etc" is also looked down upon
and like... i get it. seeing someone who is a double who is using that sort of language, or seeing people call a double's selfship canon, can be hurtful and make you feel inferior. i gettttt it i understand. im not completely nonsharing but i also feel that way when i see other damon ships (whether canon or selfship related). so i am empathetic to the feeling.
HOWEVER... i feel like it's on the double to block you, not on you to censor yourself or stop saying things for the double's sake :( i dont think its fair to expect someone to stop saying certain things, or not call themselves canon, or not call themselves so-and-so's only partner, etc, because a double may see it and get upset.
it's on you to curate your space. it'd be different if people were coming into your space and being rude to you, but if they're on their own blog, minding their business, talking about their selfships with their moots/friends, its on you to block them if what you're seeing is upsetting you. you have to learn to be uncomfortable with what you see sometimes, and this includes possibly running into doubles. it's just how it is sometimes unfortunately.
