The Ghost Serval

You've reached an undead, hello hello

[goldklee]

Oh yeah, I should probably explain my tagging system since we're kinda fresh starting here again. Read more to see stuff!

SO:

#chittering is what I use when I do text posts. Generally, these are just my thoughts on games, life or whatever

#cute horror is what I use when postin things that I've dubbed "cute horrror". They have horror themes, so blood and violence is somewhat common. This said, it's mostly blood and bone, no innards really. I think the worst I've done is exposed muscle like... once. But certainly block the #blood or #gore tag if you find any of it upsetting. There's also some cute horror that has barely any violence in it.

#ghastly animal friends is sort of a for-fun project of mine. The goal was to make a "kid-friendly horror series". The designs started out a bit more violent but were steadily dialed back. I think where I have the designs now fits that goal. I'll explain more about this project at a later date.

#Klee is anything referring to my sona. They're a leusitic serval turned ghost. Stuff involving older sona versions goes under #golde I believe. No promises of my older self being very appealing I must add. Lots changed since 2018 even.

For the most part, those are the most common repeated tags you'll see from me that aren't generic. If anything else gets added I'll bring it up

[goldklee]

Actually, I'll post here for the first time since the predstrogen thing and give a tiny smidgen of my brain thinks after completing CH3 and *just* starting CH4 of Deltarune.

MILD SPOILERS BELOW (Nothing major, but I'm forever cautious because discussions can be borne of seemingly minor discussion and explode into full blown spoilers)

Okay, so we kinda knew about the Darkners being objects in the real world. Seam being a plushie, Lancer being a card, Queen being a computer, etc since CH2. But with the way Ralsei has been talking throughout Chapter 3, it screams Animism to me. Animism being the belief that objects have souls. Ralsei keeps talking about how Darkners only really exist to help Lightners and seems to believe they shouldn't have feelings or act for themselves, which while depressing almost makes his interactions with Susie after saying that feel like a roundabout way to suggest that Darkners, indeed, have a soul and are free to be their own individual.

While I can't write anything mega indepth about this observation (particularly with only having recently started CH4, I imagine), it was something I noticed immediately upon replaying CH2 and I couldn't shake that thought, especially after CH3.

idgaf what cutesy shit tumblr tries to pull for April Fools, this is still the same website where the multimillionaire CEO stalked a trans woman across multiple platforms because she bruised his fragile ego, where a moderator took bribes to delete accounts, where moderation disproportionately targets black, transfem, and pro-Palestinian bloggers, where literal hardcore heterosexual pornography can be both posted without consequence and actively advertised to users while trans women posting transition timelines get hit with the banhammer, where outright hate speech goes unpunished but an obvious shitpost results in the associated account's termination, and where its leadership advertises it as the queerest site on the internet while doing all of the above. No amount of silly goofy gimmicks will change that.

CEO is a Zionist and I have tried my best to spread about it but the leftism leaves people's body suddenly when it's about their favorite platform 💔

To the friends I made on here, (even though many of you aren't using this site anymore and I can just contact you through Discord lol), cheers for the near decade of fun on this site.

Let's get silly somewhere new.

[goldklee]

...I had just gotten done saying I won't delete my Tumblr and they pull this shit. Good dammit. Fuck this. They just make it harder and harder to want to even stay, huh?

[goldklee]

Tumblr formed most of my first, lasting online friendships. Some of the people I met on here are absolutely special to me, and I still talk to them to this day. It's for that reason it had such sentimental value to me. The 2018 TOS change had moved a lot of those friends over to Twitter, so I followed. It was kind of shite, dealing with the more restrictive nature of Twitter. After Musk bought it, it went further to shit. I deleted it, went back to Tumblr, a place that had been an old online home.

I should've guessed that after such a massive change, this place could never be home again. Probably should've just deleted it. But god dammit, it felt good to be back. The past weeks on here however have shown me this isn't the Tumblr I remember. This isn't the same place I made those friends of mine. If this Midjourney shite ain't reversed by the end of March I'm just deleting all my blogs here. I'm not putting up with this shit and neither should you. Fuck this.

[goldklee]

I'm just so tired of social media bullshit like this. Tired of art platforms doing this shit too. If you still want to see my art, find me on Bluesky or Cohost. I'm not uploading here anymore. Consider this blog abandoned until either it gets deleted, or they backpedal. Though, even if they do backpedal, I can't say I have any trust in them now... so it'd just be an archive of my works from the end of 2014 to the beginning of 2024. Look up Law vs Lili Tekken 8 intro, this explains my feelings.

in the span of hours tumblr has banned an out trans woman who was outspoken about her harrassment and the unfairness of the website's system and MULTIPLE out trans women who commented on the absurdity of the situation--has even banned them for posting pictures of hammers and cars.

if staff thought this was going to make the situation go away, all staff's gotten is a class action lawsuit. good job, hellsite "moderators." you showed your whole ass and you're going to go to court. again.

[queenburd]

cancel your premiums or whatever that makes ads go away, use adblock, don't buy the stupid badges, and don't stop talking about it. Users who work at law firms are taking this to their firms.

A class action lawsuit is a lawsuit that serves multiple individuals who share a commonality in why and how they were harmed by a single body. A discriminatory action against multiple trans woman would, based off my limited knowledge, absolutely be grounds for one.

Tumblr was already sued for discrimination against its queer base and ended up settling.

Drain this stupid site of its income. Make it pay up.

[goldklee]

We're reaching another Tumblr exodus from what I'm seeing. This time rather than being caused by a TOS change, it seems this one is caused by staff's handling of LGBT.

I will stay here this time, mind, but if you find yourself wanting to bounce as well you can find me on Bluesky, Cohost, Pillowfort, and Mastodon. I also upload to Artfol if you're just here for art and no funny serval thoughts. I admit I am not always on top of uploading to multiple sites, particularly Pillowfort and Mastodon, but they are still valid websites.

I swear this website can never fully catch a break.

[goldklee]

I have more context to this shit now and man... yeah probably best for me to do a proper jump as well if it's gone *there*

[goldklee]

To any and all that follow me and are trans, we all deserve better. It sucks ass this happened to a site that we've a long history with. Lord knows the majority of my time drawing online was spent here.

[goldklee]

Another bump, by the way, since it got even clearer how much of a mess this site is. My primary focus is going to be CoHost, but I'll be uploading onto Bluesky about as often. I'm kinda done sticking around social media sites that just keep dumping garbage onto its userbase (hence why I deleted my Twitter). While I won't delete my Tumblr as it has some sentimental value, I just can't keep hopping onto a site that's treating LGBT members like this.

[goldklee]

Couple years ago I drew my Minecraft Bedrock avatar as a character. This time I did it again, but with 100% more serval. So I guess this is sort of a Minecraft sona of sorts?

[goldklee]

Honestly, I'm still super pleased with how this turned out. I was thinking about it a ton yesterday.

[goldklee]

So I looked up Spacehey and the fucking opening page had smut on it.

What an introduction lol

I guess it's trying to be a retro styled social media space? German-owned too, so it might be LGBT friendly

[goldklee]

I guess the smut is against TOS, which I don't really mind. But I may keep an eye on that, as it's actually kinda refreshing to see something styled like that these days.

[yurinullification]

if Tumblr became/already has become completely unusable for you where would you rather migrate to

bluesky

cohost

twitter (???)

mastodon

threads

pillowfort

spacehey

something else

I'd stop using social media

neocities

Voting ended onFeb 27, 2024

Mostly asking because it seems like my dash is about 50/50 split between cohost and bluesky rn, would kinda like to know what the actual numbers are. rb for sample size etc etc

[goldklee]

For me, I'm definitely going to Cohost. It's a cozier experience than most other sites, feels a bit like older Tumblr. It lacks the Twitter vibe of Bluesky (though I'll use it too), and is also no nearly as... odd as Mastodon.

Pillowfort is also a good option, but I feel like it has since been forgotten sometime after the 2018 TOS change. It's one of the slower sites on this list. Though, I dunno threads and spacehey might be even slower? I've never used threads (and don't plan to) and spacehey is not something I've ever heard of.
