The Daily Life of Noctus @noctustheaphelion - Tumblr Blog

Thank you to the Steven Universe community for saying such positive things about this scene, we thought you might like to see the pencil test. These are the shots from “Change Your Mind” that I animated and that Kendra @bcakesbaxter tied down. Thank you Rebecca for letting us be a part of your beautiful show. Thanks to our Drew @poseidonsbitch for scanning it all.

Thanks so much to James Baxter for helping us realize this magical scene!! These drawings were shipped to our animation studio in Korea, Sumin, where the final line and color were applied. Special thanks to them as well!

This is the real deal everyone. No computers. No photoshop. Just a pencil and paper!

Wait… I seriously thought that White Diamond angle change was definitely some sort of CG composition. But that was part of the actual drawing?!

…THAT WAS ALL ON PENCIL AND PAPER?!

I forget how fast airplanes really go because it doesn’t feel like it’s moving too much when you’re inside of it.

Me still seeing porn on my dash on December 17th

‘‘Twas was the night before”…

Twas the night before tumblr becomes a more “welcoming place”…

By slamming the door in all of our face!

No more porn! It all must go!!

But my fellow dirty bloggers and I, tumblr can BLOW!

All the post and pleads went out with care…

But nobody was listening even if unfair!

Out of the web rose such chatter…

The rules are changing, apple is all that matters!!!

Torn from it with such a crash…

Away with you all in one hell of a flash!

The site is vanilla now, tell the girls and the boys!

No ropes,No handcuffs, No dildos or toys!!!

Time to leave and stop making noise!

Self expression is dead and the boring are poise!

A bundle of red explicit warnings were slapped! 🚫🚫🚫

As this censorship model is rolled out and mapped!

Nudity a NO! Sex absolutely NOT!

Posting that shit, you’ll definitely be caught!

Kicked out of a place that we all helped build…

Just to bring smiles upon the vanilla guild! 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

So times are changing for us all…

Though it is sad it’s been one hell of a ball! 🙌🙌🙌

Time to go and say our goodbyes…😢😢😢

And with us gone the true tumblr dies! 😵😵😵

More welcoming you say? That’s NOT the case!

Corporate nonsense, just trying to save face!

A place that once welcomed one and all…

Now minimized to its own downfall!

We’re PG now, tell the world…

Just the thought makes my toes curl! 😱😱😱

The community crumbles though we hold tight!

Close minded bullshit ending this fight!

A community…a world of acceptance and love!

Crushed by money and a mandate from above!

So ashes to ashes dust to dust…

Fuck you tumblr you owe all of us! 🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻

So as these naughty final days pass…

Yes tumblr you and yours can kiss our ass!

So I say one final farewell to each of you all! 👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻

Together as one we all stand very tall!

This was OUR place like it or not…

Without US tumblr it simply is NOT!

So if Tonight is where it all ends…

Goodbye…goodbye to my dearest of friends! 😘😘😘

Never thought I'd die fighting side by side with a bunch of sexual deviants.

What about side by side with a bunch of people who hate Tumblr?

Tumblr Staff: “Alright, so we found a suitable solution to the issue involving NSFW content.”

Everyone: “Oh really? What might that be?”

A better, more positive Tumblr

Since its founding in 2007, Tumblr has always been a place for wide open, creative self-expression at the heart of community and culture. To borrow from our founder David Karp, we’re proud to have inspired a generation of artists, writers, creators, curators, and crusaders to redefine our culture and to help empower individuality.

Over the past several months, and inspired by our storied past, we’ve given serious thought to who we want to be to our community moving forward and have been hard at work laying the foundation for a better Tumblr. We’ve realized that in order to continue to fulfill our promise and place in culture, especially as it evolves, we must change. Some of that change began with fostering more constructive dialogue among our community members. Today, we’re taking another step by no longer allowing adult content, including explicit sexual content and nudity (with some exceptions).

Let’s first be unequivocal about something that should not be confused with today’s policy change: posting anything that is harmful to minors, including child pornography, is abhorrent and has no place in our community. We’ve always had and always will have a zero tolerance policy for this type of content. To this end, we continuously invest in the enforcement of this policy, including industry-standard machine monitoring, a growing team of human moderators, and user tools that make it easy to report abuse. We also closely partner with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children and the Internet Watch Foundation, two invaluable organizations at the forefront of protecting our children from abuse, and through these partnerships we report violations of this policy to law enforcement authorities. We can never prevent all bad actors from attempting to abuse our platform, but we make it our highest priority to keep the community as safe as possible.

So what is changing?

Posts that contain adult content will no longer be allowed on Tumblr, and we’ve updated our Community Guidelines to reflect this policy change. We recognize Tumblr is also a place to speak freely about topics like art, sex positivity, your relationships, your sexuality, and your personal journey. We want to make sure that we continue to foster this type of diversity of expression in the community, so our new policy strives to strike a balance.

Why are we doing this?

It is our continued, humble aspiration that Tumblr be a safe place for creative expression, self-discovery, and a deep sense of community. As Tumblr continues to grow and evolve, and our understanding of our impact on our world becomes clearer, we have a responsibility to consider that impact across different age groups, demographics, cultures, and mindsets. We spent considerable time weighing the pros and cons of expression in the community that includes adult content. In doing so, it became clear that without this content we have the opportunity to create a place where more people feel comfortable expressing themselves.

Bottom line: There are no shortage of sites on the internet that feature adult content. We will leave it to them and focus our efforts on creating the most welcoming environment possible for our community.

So what’s next?

Starting December 17, 2018, we will begin enforcing this new policy. Community members with content that is no longer permitted on Tumblr will get a heads up from us in advance and steps they can take to appeal or preserve their content outside the community if they so choose. All changes won’t happen overnight as something of this complexity takes time.

Another thing, filtering this type of content versus say, a political protest with nudity or the statue of David, is not simple at scale. We’re relying on automated tools to identify adult content and humans to help train and keep our systems in check. We know there will be mistakes, but we’ve done our best to create and enforce a policy that acknowledges the breadth of expression we see in the community.

Most importantly, we’re going to be as transparent as possible with you about the decisions we’re making and resources available to you, including more detailed information, product enhancements, and more content moderators to interface directly with the community and content.

Like you, we love Tumblr and what it’s come to mean for millions of people around the world. Our actions are out of love and hope for our community. We won’t always get this right, especially in the beginning, but we are determined to make your experience a positive one.
