Projects I’m currently working on:

Etsy: I have been running an Etsy shop ‘emptymasks’ since 2017 where I sell fanart and am trying to get into making and selling more original art.

Monster Boy Band: What if classic horror literary monsters were in a rock band? I want to make a unfiction website for them presenting them as if they were a real band, along with maybe one day a visual novel.

@dervampireprince: 18+ only (minors dni), over there I do writing and voice acting of fandom characters and original characters (which I do art for over there). I’ve been less active on this blog because I’ve been putting more time and energy into this one. I have a Youtube channel where I post my ASMR voice acting and I also stream on Twitch under this name as a vtuber playing games, drawing, and more.

European Musicals

You may be here because I love and post a lot about non-English language musicals / European musicals so much that I’m considered a resource for them now? That’s wonderful, I’m so flattered. Links you may find useful if you’re here for that:

The update sounded good but holy shit its so bad. If you add some generic "this is so cool" text to a post, that means the OP gets NO notes for anything after you. You cannot SEE the total notes on a post if someone else added text, you have open the original or you only see the notes for that branch.

Staff said this was to respect the valuable additions of commenters, but severing the notes from the OP means the OP is now disincentivized to reblog a post of theirs someone else made better (without trying to 1-up them with another comment, I guess).

This is going to absolutely crater notes for artists, gif makers, any sort of interactive mediums. Leave your nice comments in the tags for now, or OP will never get notified of oany nice comments after you

Looking back into the history of my "fuck staff" tag because today's big announcement has me stewing in anger, and I encountered a change from a while back where they removed profile pics (for some dumb reason) and the uproar was loud enough to get the decision reversed (even as noted idiot cyle argued in favor of the terrible UI change, and even now is reblogging shit that paints himself as the superior intellect plagued by the peons of the userbase).

So yeah, send those feedback tickets, make a fuss. They've reversed course before, no reason they can't do it again.

[jackiefour]

Okay, so according to this post, @staff says they're listening to us, so...

Sound off, Tumblr! How do you feel about the latest update to the reblog and notes?

Hate it. 👎

Like it. 👍

No nuance. Go ahead and reblog the crap out of this.

[djarinmuse]

I literally love all of you, but as a Tumblr veteran, Tumblr's main feature is the reblog feature. It is the beating heart of the dashboard and the foundation for a chronological timeline. The For You page here should not be your default setting.

You guys have got to start reblogging stuff you enjoy, especially, specifically gifs and fan art but also fics and fan theories or even hot takes if you're not afraid of a lil discourse. I'm tired of being the first or third reblog for a person's post and then seeing my blog's followers do nothing but hit like, while blogs sit there with no new posts in months or years!

Reblog more stuff please. Thank you, have a good day.

You're not even going to reblog this post are you 🫩

Should I offer my collages of stickers that I use for listing thumbnails... as prints?

I'm having to stop selling a lot of my stickers as I'm having to stop making them to order and instead have them manufactured for me. And I cannot have all the hundreds of character stickers I've drawn manufactured as that would cost me… far too much money.

What stickers I keep up for sale will depend on which ones have sold the best on Etsy or which ones the are the most popular characters in their respective fandoms.

However… I thought of a way to still make all the characters purchasable in some form, because someone once did ask if I sold these… Would anyone buy prints of the square collages I make for my Etsy listings? I could offer the exact images I put on my Etsy listings, but also make new ones (for example I could group characters by colour or specific chapters/areas of the game they're from.

I will not be offended if you vote no, there's no hard feelings. And only vote 'yes' if you would and could actually pay the price of the print (they wouldn't cost more than £8) + shipping (I'm based in the UK). If this poll results in a 'yes' I will be investing my money to have these printed so please only vote if you actually would commit to buying any.

(The big watermarks would be removed from your physical copy).

Would you buy these as prints?

Yes

No
