Hi!

I'm a huge fan of Undertale and all the AU's

[octopuscato]

tumblr mirrors on ‘photosugar’

So idk if others have noticed this before - but it’s the first time I’m seeing this, hence the post.

There’s a website, https://www.photosugar.com, which apparently mirrors all pictures, gifsets etc. people post on their tumblrs (and also other social media sites like twitter and instagram, if I understand it correctly). An example for a tumblr user, with my name: https://www.photosugar.com/tu/lordhellebore

Now it won‘t turn up anything but a 404 error in my case, because I sent an e-mail to the contact address, which is [email protected] with the title “My content on your website”:

Hello, it’s come to my attention that you are mirroring all of the posts containing pictures/gifs that I post on my tumblr. I am asking you to stop pulling the content from my tumblr and to delete me from your website. tumblr username is „lordhellebore“ Thank you.

I got a reply consisting of the single word “removed” after just one day, and as you can see, it worked perfectly fine with the informal mail I sent. So if you want them to stop mirroring your tumblr, it seems all you really need to do is this.  

I can’t test the site for all of my mutuals, but I’m tagging a few whom I found on there by random trial & error, and I suggest you look yourself up if you see this post and dislike tumblr mirrors (even if this one is only for pictures, not text).

@janiedean, @ladytp, @vaysh11, @lunavagantt, @einemelodieimwind, @robb-greyjoy, @youbuggingme, @ysilme, @rex-luscus, @bai-xue, @viendiletto, @electricalice, @contessa-de-leusse, @memetic-mutism, @bluecichlid, @mrs-storm-andrews, @ladymothwing, @prismatic-bell, @kittykatknits, @tinkili

….basically, whomever I’m trying at random, it seems that you’re on there.

 Please reblog so others can know and ask for removal if they want to. 

[lunasasylum]

Reblogging this because for whatever perverted, voyeuristic reason, the person or persons who run this “photosugar” have copied my random as hell blog. Just sent an email to the address stated in the original post, and I highly suggest you all look on this site for your content as well.

[wickedsingularity]

THIS IS ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING!

I sent an email for all my URLs with content and tagging the mutuals I can find on there who probably want themselves removed (this applies to any sideblogs you have too) and to spread the word. Check your other social media too.

[lauranis]

E-mailed them and got an nearly immediately reply with the link: https://www.photosugar.com/remove

So you can now remove yourself from their site on your own

[kasper-the-ghost]

This is stupid! I’m not sure if they are mirroring your stuff as well, but I would check and email them if you dont want them to do it anymore. I just sent an email. I dont understand why people think this is okay to do.

[glitchyxwitchy]

Oh my gosh I’m up there…

This is messed up and really scary to me. Why the hell would someone deem this an okay thing to do. To create a whole website dedicated to something like THIS. I am not okay with this, not in the slightest.

Guys, please check if your account is here and remove it if you don’t want it up there. I’m just about to do it myself.

[jsecommunity]

Check your content, guys. This art theft is NOT okay.

[only-alifetime]

even if you think your blog is too small to be up there, check anyway. you never know!

[umbralhelwolf]

Dude! I keep looking and I have removed myself to make sure nothing comes up, but I looked for the others and guys get them to remove you please to be safe! @thedarkenedkeeper @hwasabimoon14 and the others that follow me!

[thedarkenedkeeper]

I honestly thought I wouldn’t show up on there, but nope, to my horror, they mirrored my shit. Sent them an email and immediately got a “removal” reply back. Tagging everyone I’m worried about.

[gamejenny]

Will you upload it also on tumblr or only on patreon?

[ut-storyshift]

Someone’s been reporting Undertale AU blogs for no reason. If this blog goes down, I will be fighting it.

[invertedfate]

Signal boosting this because it’s important. I’m already taking steps to backup the IF blog, but I’m wary of sharing the url just yet due to this mass reporting spree. This is not okay. Not in the slightest. Several of my friends’ blogs have already been struck down.

[megaderping]

Okay, gonna add to this that I know that The More Things Change, Epictale, the original Team Switched blog, Mamar11, and several smaller askblogs were hit by this. I’m sure there are others, too. It doesn’t seem to be strictly restricted to sprite comics and seems to be specifically hitting Undertale blogs. If you know UT content creators, I suggest warning them just to be safe.

[unfoundedrobotaccusations]

I wonder if part of this has to do with updated Tumblr terms of service in some other countries increasing the minimum age for users. I saw some posts about it awhile back warning people that it was upcoming. 

[invertedfate]

Thank you for bringing this to my attention! This could actually be the real cause of at least some of the terminations. I did some looking, and here’s what I found… “The updated Terms of Service and Privacy Policy go into effect on 25 Ma‍y 20‍18. If you continue to use Tumblr on or after 25 Ma‍y 20‍18, you are agreeing to the updated Terms of Service and our use of your data as set out in our Privacy Policy. If you don’t want the updated Terms of Service and Privacy Policy to apply to you, you can delete your account and stop using Tumblr. Please note that under our updated Terms of Service, users in the European Economic Area must be at least 16 years old (or the lower age that your country has provided for you to consent to the processing of your personal data) in order to use Tumblr.“ We are not 100% sure yet, but if this is the real cause, then this is still hugely important for any European content creators and fans. Have there been other posts about bloggers under 16 getting terminated? I’m trying to find info but am not sure where to start looking. Basically, we should consider this as a possibility! After all, this did start happening on the 25th of May.

[invertedfate]

IMPORTANT UPDATE. PLEASE READ!

We have word that other blogs outside this fandom are being suspended. Blogs run by European users under the age of 16. One such blog was Jesterartist. While this does not explain blogs like Team Switched or Epictale being shut down, it is entirely possible that at least some of the terminations are a result of the new European ToS. I think at this stage, we need to shift to reaching out to young content creators and encouraging them to save/backup their content. There are a LOT of young users in this fandom who could be affected by this, if they aren’t already. Unfortunately, this is not something tumblr can really change. It is based in European laws. I did some research, and it is affecting other websites as well as tumblr. Here is what I found… ‘1.   Where point (a) of Article 6(1) applies, in relation to the offer of information society services directly to a child, the processing of the personal data of a child shall be lawful where the child is at least 16 years old. Where the child is below the age of 16 years, such processing shall be lawful only if and to the extent that consent is given or authorised by the holder of parental responsibility over the child. Member States may provide by law for a lower age for those purposes provided that such lower age is not below 13 years. ‘ Now, some websites are simply changing the way data processing works for users 13 - 15 and requiring a parental proxy. Tumblr seems to have decided it does not want anyone under the age of 16 in Europe. You can see the full details here. I am not here to dispute this with tumblr, but I am here to give you all a warning that they are not backing down on this. Instead of giving people time to save their content, they are just automatically suspending accounts from European countries that are too young. One of my friends lost a lot of art because he’d only saved it on his tumblr. Please reach out to young content creators at this stage. We may have had the initial cause wrong, but this is still very important.

[onebizarrekai]

So…

It has come to my attention that I may not be able to pay for everything I need this semester without help, and I may only have around $300 for the rest of the semester after only paying for all the schooling and rent, and I still need to pay for an accompanist, voice coaching and basic needs, and $300 not enough for that at all (hiring an accompanist alone costs more than that). My parents have offered to help but… hopefully you can understand my apprehension with that.

If you are able to support me, please consider it. I’m doing commissions and I will gladly draw for you, and heck, just two full body, full color, single character commissions alone would be enough for an entire grocery trip.

If I received 20 of those commissions types, I could pay for groceries for the entire semester with just that money, and possibly have some left over.

Alternatively, you can support me on ko-fi. Ko-fi now offers a monthly support service kind of like Patreon and that’s just really neat, man.

Please consider helping. Every tiny little bit helps! Reblogs are also very appreciated.

I hate making public callouts like this but there is someone on deviantart that is re-uploading other people’s artwork and will block anyone that calls them out so I need help finding the creators so they can file proper reports to get the pictures removed

if anyone recognizes their art, you can file a report to deviantart here:

So you want to make an OC?: A Masterpost of Ways to Create, Develop, and Make Good OCs!

i made this masterpost in hopes that it helps you in making your own OCs ah;; it can also apply to developing RP characters i suppose! if you’d like to add more resources then go for it sugar pea (´ヮ`)!

EDIT (9/25/17): hi! i see this post going around a lot and a LOT over my many years here so here’s a sort of disclaimer before you delve into the huge chunk of info here.

1. i made this post when i was like 13, so jot that down. the information researched here is very, very old. a lot of it, imo, is no longer relevant! especially with language use (ESPECIALLY if you’re reblogging the old version of the post that had links to an article about gender/sexuality. i’ve removed that. i’ve removed also the mary sue/gary stue chunk because my values have changed since i was 13.) the point is, i’m not the person i was since i was 13, and the resources here will not always fit in with what we need as time goes on.

2. you! don’t! have! to! take! these! resources! as! law! i made this post because i was and still am very passionate about ocs. this resource was intended to be a sounding board for when u have ideas you want to further delve into and you’re not entirely sure where to begin. it’s not the only resource out there, and sometimes, the best sounding board will be you!!! follow ur heart. ocs are fun. this post was never, ever meant to tell you how to write your own characters but help broaden ur knowledge if u found urself limited in an area (as a lot of this was made with a white cishet audience in mind. i apologize for that ;;)

3. i’ve gotten some great notes and commentary on this post and things i want to explore more since making this post roughly 5-6 years ago. things are very, very different. i have better resources for a LOT of these, and have more i want to tack on! but i simply can’t find the time for it, so until I do: i’ve removed a lot of links here that i found harmful and irrelevant to today, but i haven’t combed through all of them and can’t lead you to what i think is best. research yourselves! you’ll learn lots.

4. and in closing, thanks for reading! this a/n got off on a tangent so that’s that, LMAO. go forth and develop your ocs!!! and tell me about them!!! or tell me if you have fresh sources or a better perspective or just wanna call me out. this post is 100% open to criticism because it’s imperative to keep growing. thanks!

[pscoldfire]

A Warning to Artists on Tumblr (your comics are being monetized)

tl;dr Summary: Kyotosomo is making money from your comics on Youtube. 

Here’s a list of his comic dubs and their corresponding Tumblr accounts in alphabetical order: https://goo.gl/EqFK56

Quick update: I’ve been called out by Kyotosomo. Yay. I’ll link a follow-up response post here and in the comments after I publish it: <Where’s the link?!?> Here you go!  (https://pscoldfire.tumblr.com/post/172471041889/kyotosomo-calls-out-pscoldfire-for-being-a-lousy) Update: I’ve been asked a few times why I did it. I will explain my actions in another follow-up post, and I’ll put the link here once I’m done (Yes, I can hear you groaning across the monitor. Fine I get it, but I’m writing it anyway!).

The Long Version:

I’m sorry this is a VERY long post, but if you have a few minutes, please stay for now. I feel you all should know this.

Most of you gave permission to Kyotosomo (Pierce Riola) to dub your comics. What he did not tell you is that he is monetizing them. And from what I understand after talking with some of you, none of you gave any permission to make money on your art, and he has not shared any of that profit with you or anyone else.

How do you know it is monetized?

If you watch without AdBlock, here’s how you know:

1. Yellow line in video player (usually on the left)

2. Advertisement plays before/during video

(Note – most monetized Youtube channels make ~$1 per 1000 views. The actual amount can be more, depending on a variety of factors)

If I don’t want my comics monetized, what can we do?

If you have 10 minutes to spare, you can do at least one of these right now:

1. Make a Youtube account. Report his Youtube channel:  https://www.youtube.com/user/kyotosomo/about

2. Report copyright infringement on each of his videos containing your artwork. If you need help finding your comic, here’s the list again: https://goo.gl/EqFK56

(This comic from @ameri-lie was uploaded without permission. More on that later)

After you do this, he might ask you to remove the copyright strike and let him keep the videos up or remove it on his own (he won’t). 

He will probably make excuses like:

“I’m doing this purely for fun”

Then why is he making money from it? Quite a lot too, if these posts are anything to go by:

Or he might say:

“I’m doing this for charity”

Except he lied about this in the past. For example:

(sorry about the image quality)

EDIT: I was wrong here. Two days after the last email, AMF did receive a donation (https://imgur.com/rh0aPzn)

Or he’ll say:

“I tried to contact you but I couldn’t”

Personally, I’ve had no trouble with you all so far. Here’s how to contact people on Tumblr: (image courtesy of skitschell)

3.  Just send him a message, and he’ll probably remove the monetization. Just know that this will not stop him from monetizing other people’s content, or re-monetizing your comics once you’ve stopped paying attention.

4. (optional) Let your friends know. You are welcome to share, re-post or re-blog this post if you’d like.

If you’ve read the whole post, thank you very much! If it helps at least one person, then the writing of this post was well worth it.

If you have any questions, comments, concerns, etc., feel free to leave a reply. 

p.s. – How silly of me to post this on April Fool’s Day! Unfortunately, I can assure you this is not a joke.

p.p.s. – Here is a copy of a message he sent to @ameri-lie, who reported the above video featuring her comic (he did not ask for permission before uploading).

She dropped the strike in December 2017 after he promised to remove the video (as I’m writing this, the video is still up, and of course, still monetized). EDIT: Not anymore

Coincidentally, @skitschell​ received the exact same message after reporting her video last week.

Edit: Sorry, skitschell just gave me a correction. This message is from December 2017, the first time she reported her video. Like ameri-lie, she dropped the strike after Kyotosomo promised to remove the video.

As you can see, she’s reported the video again after finding it was still up.

p.p.p.s. – UPDATE: A few hours before I wrote this post, Kyotosomo heard about what I was doing and sent me a threat.

Whoaaaa… Ok I haven’t seen any dubs with my comics yet, or probably they haven’t found me either but definitively that’s not good at all! Reblogging this to warn every artist who might not be aware of that type of scam.

[perfectshadow06]

BOOST!!!!

[growasmileforawhile-deactivated]

[imm0bulus-blog]

I started following this girl and her whole dash ended up these. And her last post. I can’t even say words. Anons took her life. If that okay with you, then carry on with your day. If you agree this is unacceptable and okay, then reblog and spread the word. What you say can actually change a persons life! So help out

I don’t care if this makes your dash look ‘ugly’, no matter what type of blog you have you should reblog it.

[gr9--gatsby]

If you can’t reblog this, I pity you as a human being.

[sockiepie-deactivated20170426]

;~;

[ask-doctor-jadusable-deactivate]

[blood-blossom]

This is sickening. This is why I fuckin hate most anons. Most are just pure assholes. Bullies. But I realized something. They only hate on others cause their life is miserable. So they make others miserable to try and be happy. They need something to vent their pain on

[bongsausage]

No…..I will always Reblog this….This just isn’t right

[rayyyyofsunshineeeee]

if you don’t reblog shame on you..

[circasim]

So honestly think twice, and even actually think way moooooore than twice before sending anon hate and ending up being a cyber murderer…

[pixelunivairse]

[ladyhayny]

Okay, I never reblog things, but this? people have no excuse to be treating others like that, nothing can justify your terrible actions, you horrible people, I feel so mad at those assholes.. I mean come on! The world would be a better place if you kept your shitty opinions for you, it’s not my fault if you’re an asshole but at least you could keep it for yourself instead of making the world an ugly place….

[wisepineapple]

reblog this. reblog.right.NOW

[noticeeverything-saynothing-dea]

Please don’t take your life because some anonymous asshole told you that you were ugly. The reason they had to stay anonymous is because they are scared of you.

[delicious-ticklish-guys]

Is there any way for tumblr to find the people behind all these anons????? They could be complicit in a murder! Charge them!

[twomario-deactivated20190321]

Just… Wow.

This is such a sad way to remind us how fatal the words can be..

[futuristicallysassytragedy]

If you have EVER EVER done this to someone I want you the fuck off my blog and the fuck off this site, because there is no place for you in this fucking world, and there is certainly no place for you here

[songbird7447]

You know all those people who said she ugly ARE the ugly one. Inside and outside. There also murdermers. They deserve to die in hell in the most horrible way and I wish they will die in the most horrible way in the world. And I’m sure the poor girl was beautiful and an amazing person. So you now what

FUCK YOU ANONS!!

[fan-art-maker]

always reblog

[goddess-of-the-gay-unicorns-dea]

Congratulations anons, you just took away a families life having their baby die. How? Everyone is crushed that their child has gotten bullied and because of it they’re not living anymore. That person could have helped you so much in the future but you threw away that chance! You have invented a new kind of stupid a damage you can never undo kid of stupid an open all the cages at the zoo kinda stupid! Truly you didn’t thing it through kind of stupid

[sass41]

Please reblog this. This is very important.

[bluerose161-deactivated20210216]

Omg my god…

[dxnt-bxther-cxming-here-its-dea]

I never have one of this but I do pity that user…I hope they feel well.

[long-hair-tol-azzy-boi-deactiva]

“If you do this your dead to me”

[xxtc-96xx]

the privilege of anonymity has just proven how disgusting people can be when they think they don’t have any consequences for saying things like this. In all honestly I’m not a vengeful person but whenever I see some hot shot little sh*t with the anon mask telling someone to kill themselves and other lovely messages I’d love nothing more than to reach through the screen and break their nose with a white hot iron…

[underlineau]

*Sits down with popcorn* Okay you can start the story, please start with your name.
