Imp is the artist but Quse is the heart, nice to meet you. You know why you are here. I do requests and commissions, click below for details http://www.furaffinity.net/commissions/notsafeforreality/ All characters depicted on this blog are above 18+ years of age regardless of their age in the work in which they appear
I’ve always thought about doing a long post, full of text just sorta explaining my situation, but when I sit down to type out all my thought provoking an genuine thoughts they all turn to nothing but alphabet soup. Given the current state of things, this will be gone tomorrow anyways so I might as well give it one last try before this place goes away.
If you don’t wanna read my brain dump then please check me out these places for more of my art:

Before I found tumblr, I wasn’t an artist. I had hammered into my head from childhood that I was not meant to be the “creative” type. Its the stupidest thing, but the thing I would also cite to myself is in... 3rd or 4th grade we had to make cards for some bullshit or whatever and I couldn’t fold the damn card right. It would always end up lopsided and stuff, so I said to myself that day “if you can’t do this simple thing, how are you ever going to make something that actually matters?”
I had given up pretty much up until senior year of highschool, and the week of new years I found.... grimdark pony blogs (stick with me on this please). Now, I had never watched MLP, but I was a HUGE fan of webcomics, and what appealed to me the most was there was a fucking million of these things. They all interacted, all referenced each other, it was an online community where you create things and people create stuff based on what you created. It was crazy to me, so many people of all skill ranges did it. This is what finally shook me out of my anti-creative mindset and actually got me going. I tried a short lived ask blog using my only artistic skill I had, which was drawing eyes using a trackpad. Just eyes in a dark cave and I tried to tell a story out of it... yeah it didn’t last long. I got a tablet one day after getting sick of using a trackpad, and drew for about... jeez... I think its been five years since then but its hard to keep track.
1.7k followers... its insane. I could never believe starting out that I’d have that many, and now quite a few of them are going to disappear tonight. So many of you folks follow me elsewhere but also a significant amount probably don’t... which is fine. I’m sure you have your reasons. You might not be plugged into this whole “tumblr is going to die” thing, and truth be told I wont be leaving until this place finally gets its plug pulled for good. Tumblr was, up until this point, the best site for artists out there. I firmly believe that. No algorithm pulling the strings from behind making the popular impossible to contest or avoid(twitter), no archaic design making the front page a nightmare of fetish material and lack of password protection on the backend (FA), no... uhhhh... well... you know (IB). You post something on tumblr, its on someone’s dash in the order of recent posts. No bullshit, just the dash that people you follow made for you. You can install x-kit to blacklist, you can go to someone’s blog and view an archive, you can reblog stuff and add your own flair and flavor to it (if you’re a super cool dude a drawn reply). There is nothing like it now that I know of, and its a tragedy that its cutting off the primary type of art I like to create. To tell the truth, I should probably do more sfw stuff, which you can hopefully still check out over at impish insight but its just not really a priority to me. I like what I like, and if you’re reading this you probably like it too (at least I hope you do).
I don’t really know how to end this. I considering doing a huge send off, something lewd and extravagant to celebrate my time here but I just didn’t have the time or energy. I meant to even do a follow up to this, something positive on the other side to welcome any folks who haven’t jumped ship and I may still do that, but as of now I just mostly wanted to get this out there before I get Thanos snapped. Not every ending is a triumphant transition to something new, sometimes things end suddenly and without fanfare. And thats sorta how I feel about losing tumblr as a platform for my art. I know its melodramatic without context, but like I said before this place is what sparked what I like to do in my free time. It where I met so many important people in my life, and its also gonna lose a fuck ton of the good-good. I’m gonna keep drawing what I like, and if I end up having to send it by carrier pigeon just to show the people who like it; I will.
Those are a few names i feel like they need a bit of a boost, on their own a buncha cool doods, if you still wanna get at my stuff ive got a post for my hideouts
You folks here on tumblr have always been the kindest and most supportive of any of my groups so it’d break my heart if I ever had to leave here. Tumblr is where I started and I’d always imagine where I’d keep going forever but it turns out that might not be how it ends up. Either way, if I’m gone tomorrow know I appreciate all the support I’ve gotten here thus far.
I’m gonna make a more heartfelt redux of this when I have the time, but for now heres the links. My personal recommendation is my twitter, but following me anywhere would be great. I also have:
https://notsafeforreality.sofurry.com/
https://www.weasyl.com/~impishdesires
https://beta.furrynetwork.com/impish/
and I’m gonna make a newgrounds when it isn’t down.
