hard-boiled wonderland and the end of the world

Hi ;D this is Mimi's art blog! Mostly just reblogging creative works of others, occasionally posting my own stuff~~~ which is mostly fan art but I also do original stuff as well. Any comment/critique is welcome! I'd really appreciate any feedback ^...

Okay update - they did give my channel back. The "to make things right" part not very impressive tho 😐

Oh well, guess I need to keep all video files in back-up drives just in case

@toastedbuckwheat I don't think I ever posted these? Gotta be more on top of doodles in sketchbooks aaa * *

I haven't posted any rants (or anything rly) in ages because life has been getting busier over the last few years and overall- things have been heading in a better direction in general despite the chaos and stresses we all have to deal with in life.

But a specific incident happened which I did not expect and now I'm extremely upset bcs it was something I had been looking forward to + decided to make a commitment to encourage myself to create more often and documenting my progress - making a Youtube channel to upload my art/creative processes, gardening vlogs and other craft/hobbies.

I work a full time job that has nothing related to art/my hobbies and most weeks I barely have any time/energy/braincells left in my spare time to make anything I enjoy. Which is the main reason I haven't been active much on tumblr and instagram, that and the fact that I have very little social energy to keep up with maneuvering between multiple platforms. Social media- just like engaging in social interactions- drain me and exhausts my introverted brain beyond I can explain in words. This was why I decided to go with a video platform like Youtube where I can just record, upload and forget about it but have a place to serve as an archive of things I've made/spent time and effort working on.

So I created a new gmail account and signed up and had my first and brand new Youtube account and channel ready to go last week, I was super excited. I filmed myself doing a brush calligraphy session for around 90 minutes, edited it on my phone and uploaded it. I was super happy and shared the video link with my loved ones only to find that in less than 24 hours since my video went up I got this email notifying that my channel has been terminated:

I had no idea what I did to deserve this and all I can say is thanks Youtube for treating a new/small creator like me this way because you obviously don't care.

Can someone please explain to me what have I done that violated their Community Guidelines by posting a video like this- an original longform content made by me of me doing handwriting with a brush in my own living room:

I have appealed but I have already lost my trust and hope in this platform. I feel wronged and discouraged and I hope nobody goes through the same experience even though apparently it's becoming more and more common for creators all over the place to just wake up one day and find their own channel wrongfully terminated with no reason whatsoever.

If I don't get this channel back I'm not going to attempt this again. Thanks Youtube for your warm welcome and encouragement to a new creator and small artist who had been blindly optimistic about starting a channel to share art with.

Completely forgot to post these before I went away. Inktober 2-6

Kinda like last year - focusing on one character as I explore a new technique. Also taking the opportunity to illustrate this story we've got going on with @mimimarilynart . It's 1920s, and a young academic teacher realises none of the worlds he's lived in feel true or worthwhile now that his heart is beating for someone. To him, she seems so innocent. Hiding his past from her would feel dishonest; revealing it- disrespectful.
