Iām moving to Baraag.net (and Iād like you to follow me...and some discord news)
IāLL REBLOG THIS ON THE 16TH DECEMBER, THEN IT WILL BE THE LAST POST ON THIS ACCOUNT:
(Art by Nitroplus)
First up: Hereās where Iāll upload my audio/video edits.
https://baraag.net/@nounsthesame
I havenāt done anything yet so bear with me.
Now, baraag is a weird twitter/tumblr/discord hybrid. You wont need an account to view my posts, but I will label the account as NSFW so that you have to click a button to see anything. As a positive side effect, if thereās stuff you donāt want to see, then you donāt need to. Iāll sort out tags etc.
I keep plugging the guy, but Ponko Poro at https://baraag.net/@PonkoSFM demonstrates the kind of layout that I will be working with.
As mentioned, baraag doesnāt natively support mp3, so Iām going to be converting my audios into mp4s. This is a pain, but also has the benefit that youāll have access to a file with a thumbnail that can also be used in future social media sites in the event that baraag gets eaten by velociraptors. Future proofing!
If you are a fellow creator: Be warned that free online sites donāt add any images (obviously) to mp4s, and that baraag searches for video before audio. In short, a videoless mp4 is rejected, a soundless mp4 is accepted. It might not be the best platform for you unless you can find a site that adds a still image, or have a free video editor on hand.
Secondly: I know Iāve been a little slow with updates, this nonsense could not have come at a more awkward time. Physically Iām fine, but fighting the S.A.D is a war within myself. As you may know, I normally just do one big christmas audio. With that said, if you want to communicate with me on discord, itās

I am based in the UK and operate on my time-frame (which doesnāt correlate with any other), so just drop a message whether Iām online or not, and Iāll know.
Regarding discord servers. I aim to hang around: @thephantom202ā ās server at https://discordapp.com/invite/uQ2yEtx Meet some talented creators and say hi!
Also 4chanās (unofficial) Onara /d/ server. This is a splinter of 4chan culture, but is very friendly and open to IRL farts from male and female contributors if that is your thing. As with any chan, Lurk Moar! https://discord.gg/VrUGJZk
Thirdly: This is probably a rant, but I think itās obvious now that tumblr is going the way of the dinosaur. While that is their choice, I am more concerned that the little community that we have here will be splintered, for the moment.
Iād strongly suggest that you check my past reblogs, and find out where your favourite creators are headed, and find their discord information. Of course, be sensible about things, but ask where their work is if youāre lost.
I think the greatest problem is that right now, tumblr is the premier site for artistsĀ to easily showcase mixed media. Thatās something that cannot be easily be replaced (as much as I like dA!)
Lastly, my MEGAās are: https://mega.nz/#F!3JgQVBTb!43JU4kKu_ND7IUbcs-YqXg (This contains media with which you can create your own, or just for your own pleasure.)
https://mega.nz/#F!TA5jHYJR!00tT2ZlaU38mvDvo-L8SXQ (This contains all my audio/video edits.)
Finally: (100% ramble)
I want to say that despite this nonesense, I donāt see this as an ending, just a very annoying distraction.
But I canāt say that Iām not sad by the whole affair. Iāve met some very good people through this social network, and made stronger bonds with others. To the extent that Iāve even plucked up the courage to meet a few in person. While at the end of the day, weāre sharing a love of the feminine brap I canāt help find it humerous that a website that actively encouraged young men and women to be open about their sexuality, and to be able to express that sexuality through sounds, words and images, is now going out of its way to purge the very heart of its community.
WIth less than a monthās notice!
Regardless. This is not the first time Iāve been on a social platform that dissolved, and it probably wont be the last.
Nevertheless, I want to thank everyone here who Iāve touched and for those whoāve been hit emotionally or creatively by anything Iāve done. Iām flattered.
To think, I started this just posting on 4chan!
See you on the other side.
THIS IS MY LAST POST!
Iāll still check mail, eventually. But I have important appointments throughout the week.
