basil's art blog

HD and more in my patreon 🌸 commissions

[epoch-smog]

welcome this is an art blog

This blog is not spoiler free and I’m a multishipper

I would appreciate if minors did not follow me. Blog now may contain NSFW and my own comfort as an adult. If I find you, I block you. Damn no one reads this.

🌸 My name is Basil. I'm nonbinary and use they/them. I don't mind other pronouns, but I use they/them for consistency.

🌸 I jump around a lot and currently I've been watching Jujutsu Kaisen. Previously: The arcana, JJBA, Transformers, MLP I might also make art of: personal things, OFF (game by mortis ghost), Undertale, ...

🌸 I tag the best I can. I'm using my tumblr blog as an organized cabinet file where I throw sketches, ideas, and art into. i gotta be more organized and professional; killer of the insane mind.

🌸 commissions wip I don't have a post

🌸 The best way to support me is either dropping something in my ko-fi or pledging to my Patreon! I will not turn on tipping on tumblr.

🌸 here's where else I am:

instagram blusky (sfw) pillowfort (sfw)

toyhou.se is where I put oc profiles (very rudamentary I have to redo character profiles)

I want to finish this at some point

[epoch-smog]

I know I've been gone a long time. I went into treatment to get myself well. I'm in a safe place but I'm busy with keeping myself alive right now which is why I've been MIA. thank you all for the support and sticking around.

i sometimes hate posting when I do art because I feel like I do like nothing lmfao ;;;

[epoch-smog]

Lately i've been feeling really disconnected from myself which usually results back to feeling out of touch with culture. I'm korean american but with how I was raised, I have no attachment or history with either. it makes me absolutely infuriated.

not only being korean american make me feel detached but abuse took away what I could have from me. i don't know who I am anymore

The tassles in the background are something I grew up around, they're very korean and have a symbol of their own but mean nothing to me. I only know of the hanbok but it's torn here to symbolize my lack of connection with it. Plus i'm nonbinary and the hanbok is traditionally feminine/woman which I don't identify as. The pants symbolize the american part, bell bottom pants were the only thing I kept with growing up until they went out of fashion.

the masks show identities I switch around with. Demon mask bc my mother thinks of me this way, and the jealous woman mask (right) because I'm resentful. the broken fox mask bc I don't know who I am.

to those of you who are moving here from tiktok, from someone whos used both tiktok and tumbr for years...

1. DO NOT censor your posts

dont censor sex, abuse, suicide, dont censor it. we dont have censors like tiktok does, you wont be banned for talking about these things and tagging them properly helps people avoid them (also, we dont have shadowbanning here)

2. we dont really have an algorithm

you follow who you follow, and you see posts from who you follow or what you search. the 'for you page' is basically useless here. this also brings me to my next two points

3. dont crosstag

we get it, on tiktok you have to crosstag for reach, but thats not really a thing here. just tag your posts properly (also posters often leave more info about the post in the tags!! and when you reblog stuff you can leave your own notes in the tags, kind of like the old "repost comments" on tiktok)

4. dont expect to go viral/be famous

"viral" isnt really a thing on here (at least not for the average blogger). your posts will probably get 2-10 likes and you wont get nearly as many followers than on tiktok. thats just how tumblr is

5. blocking is your best friend

tiktok is VERY discussion based, and while tumblr is much more discussion based than other social medias, its still not a good place for ragebait/discourse. dont interact, itll make your experience worse in the end, just block and move on

6. you cant go into someone elses house and start rearranging their furniture

this is tumblr, not tiktok. dont diss old tumblr users for how they use the site or try to change them, thats like going into someone elses house and trying to rearrange their furniture. we've been here longer and we're familiar with the site and its culture, either find your niche, adapt, or find a different app

Another important point

You need to actually reblog posts for this site to work as it should.

Liking posts only saves them in a spot that no one checks except for the user who liked them. Most people have their liked posts hidden.

Also, this site has a spam bot problem. One way we weed those out is to check the blog to see if it's actually being used to post legitimate content. If there is absolutely nothing on your blog you're getting blocked and some users may just straight up report you as spam as a precaution.

Not to mention that the posts you reblog will only be seen by you and whoever follows you. Tagging it "fyp" does absolutely nothing.

like i'm sorry but we as a fandom have to stay firm on our anti-AI values. we cannot suddenly start giving AI a pass when it's something we "want to see" like destiel kisses. it's not suddenly fine. we're not going to start using AI to make fanfic scenes come to life or audio AI to make characters "say" stuff we want to hear. you have GOT to be firm on your anti-AI stance. if you start making exceptions then suddenly anything will fly. fandom is for real art and creations made by real people. no AI fanfics. no AI art. no AI rendered "bonus" scenes. no AI audio. none of it has a place here.

bring back tumblr ask culture let me. bother you with questions and statements

[boimann]

reblog to let people know it's ok to bother you with questions and statements

i'm selfish

Heya! Curious abt Jin... Is that their last name? and what's their full name 👀💜

hi hi! Yes lol Jin is their last name, I could technically made it their first name instead but I liked the idea of the whole language miscommunication of [last name] [first name] introduction and people just kept referring them as such lol and they just never bothered to correct people

Yong is their first name. (Or like, half of a first name? I haven't figured out the second character lol) but I like to think they don't like their first name at all which is why they don't mind being called by their last name.

but also creator bias, I really like the name Jin LMAO

I'm gonna start moving Jin stuff and arcana stuff over to @jin-arcana-oc so check that out too (sorry for plug)

[epoch-smog]

arcana game insanity pepe sylvia board is moving

i gotta stop being weird, sorry. so i decided to move my insanity and nonsense to a different tumblr blog.

Arcana people who are interested, here's the new blog: @jin-arcana-oc

any major art will still be posted here and just reblogged over there. This is my main and art blog after all, but anything extra and other insanity I'll put over there.

I think that's all. Thanks 🌸

I just woke up from a dream and at the end some guy was around. Clearly my facial blindness is hurting me bc i have no clue what he looked like. But it doesnt matter.

I had crawled through this place, i swear i usually go through, but it had changed (dream logic yay) i tried to go back but the door was heavy and locked and i couldnt pry it.

This guy saw me and we stood there for a second. We both didnt say anything and then he told me that there was a different way (this place apparently worked one way) but also that it would be tricky (but he had no problems??????) We went through a bunch of halls. But also had to climb some stuff? Dude could pick me up with one hand, idk if i was just tiny as fuck or if this guy was just a hulk.

We didnt really formally say bye and he never said why he was there or what his job was or anything. Then i woke up. Thanks weird underground labyrinth dude who helped me get out
