Update.

I have decided that I no longer care about the silhouette, wings are cool.

Traditional Drawing of Rose Mallow Cookie

I drew them with my pastel color pencils, I like this color palette and design better than the first. I got rid of her wings for now, I didn't want it to muddle her silhouette. I'm probably going to draw her interacting with jelly bees and other cookies later.

Persona Art.

While highly caffeinated last night, I decided to use my alcohol markers to draw my persona in a new outfit! I quite like the colors used here and I think he looks very handsome in it.

What I've Been Drawing For Art Competitions.

I think that Saturn and Neon are lovely content creators, so I drew these.

I've Been In An Artsy Mood Lately.

I've been doodling and coloring some of my ocs, and I even made my own stickers of Hollyberry Cookie and Golden Cheese Cookie.

I'm proud of all of them.

Some art that I made which ended up in Saturn's video where she covers The One Who's Running The Show, many other talented artists' own works were put into the video as well.

I have placed second in Saturn's fanart competition, she is a diligent and good creator on YouTube who does comic dubs for Cookie Run Kingdom and The Amazing Digital Circus

I made BurningCacao fanart yesterday.

So to be 100% clear:

tumblr just added an update that requires you to verify your age in order to view "mature content". I'm not sure how they do the verification (haven't yet checked), but given recent similar updates from things like Discord, it most likely involves sending them a photo of either your face or your ID.

In addition, over the past few months, and also years in the long-term, tumblr has been incorrectly marking things as mature content. These include:

Notifications about missing persons and requests for help

Posts about youth liberation

Posts about sex education

Posts about how the mature content is poorly implemented

Posts about being trans, more specifically about trans women and transmisogyny by both tumblr and users on tumblr

Non-sexual selfies by trans women/transfems

Trans womens'/transefems' ENTIRE BLOGS even if the blog contains no sexual content

Reblogs made by various blogs, mostly trans women, which add no additional content but somehow are marked as containing mature content, when the original post is not

Posts talking about racism and antiblackness both on and off tumblr

Posts by black people, especially black trans people, that are non-sexual

And likely many more I haven't seen

In essence, this update has mandated that a majority of users (within the UK and Brazil) must either a) submit their personal information to tumblr, a website whose moderation has been EXTREMELY biased against marginalised people and who I would not trust with my ID, or b) be excluded from absolutely all conversations tumblr decides are "mature content", whether they are actually sexual in nature or not. Furthermore, anyone not over 18 will also not be allowed to take part in these conversations, or even see them, or interact with many trans women or people of colour on this site, as tumblr decides.

This update is complete bullshit designed to censor and exclude marginalised people, poorly hidden under a guise of "protecting teenagers from sexual content", and they know it.

EDIT: This update apparently only affects users in the UK or Brazil, like me. This is still bullshit even if it's just some people.

It seems that another platform has decided to suppress the voices of the people, do remember that it will not stay in just the UK and Brazil, letting it slide once gives them the idea that it's okay and they will go further in censoring their freedom of speech, and quietly erasing the voices of these marginalized groups which will push them back into the clutches of systems in the real world not designed for them.

Aside from that, kindly do suggest platforms that haven't been overtaken by this rule please.

I've received my prize fanart of my oc London for placing 2nd in • Shxrberry •'s art competition, I like how cute he looks in her style.

Revival Of The Pairs #1

Sketches were drawn on separate days, however, Diana and Amorette seem to wish to be revived once more. I am uncertain if the rest will follow. They also seem to have foreshadowed a future pairing I have for public media characters.

I shall return to them in the morning.

"I would fall in love with you in every universe."

Except it's these lesbians somehow reincarnating in every new sketchbook I got. Not saying that all lesbians are the same, I just found the phenomenon intriguing.
