Hi, I'm Rise! I'm an artist and writer, and this is my personal blog.

✦ Currently my main project is The Constellation of Us (TCOU), envisioned as a sapphic fantasy book trilogy with magic, swords, shapeshifters, and messy politics.

♥ My side project is an adult android/human romance novella in a sci-fi setting, which is approaching completion.

I post art here under #mine sometimes. I also have a Bluesky account!

I haven't promoted it on here yet, but I run a webcomic called Salt Shaker! Today is the first time since making this account that I've finished a new chapter.

You can read it here

I always say, if you read it let me know what you thought, unless you hated it, then I don't want to know!

Another reason why trains would be good is that most people are not good at driving

you should get a second evening for reading fan fiction. And you should get an extra day in the week to do arts and crafts.

honestly it's ok for me to flop and live the way i do. i dont have kids and i dont hurt anyone #mytruth

[ilynpilled]

the culture of anxiety and paranoia the community online has fostered when it comes to art is very absurd

[ilynpilled]

yes, that discourse is y i even reblogged this, though i vaguely remember that being there last year too when i participated 😭 seems so comically online digital artist toil & ip brained on top of just being a virtually unenforceable and meaningless rule anyway

Finally going back and fixing small things on my site/blog to prep it for actually deploying, one of which was the mobile navigation on the blog. I lovingly made it to have these gradient tabs that I proceeded to have to dismantle for phone users because the screen is too tiny for whimsy. I'm sure I could finagle them into stacking or something but I am too lazy for this so instead phone users get something ugly😔

i am a very casual starfox fan (other than smash bros exposure i've only ever played starfox assault) and other cultural osmosis stuff. i am ambivalent on the new designs (?) i don't mind different depictions i guess

anyway mentioning that just to preface that i've been watching a little bit of starfox stuff and found out dinosaur planet was apparently leaked a few years ago and is pretty playable! i remember getting briefly invested in watching vids on it years back (...just checked my yt history and apparently that was dec 2017). so that's fun

I want you guys to all start making a bigger stink about Tumblr's Age Verification Horseshit.

[lifesgrandparade]

Like they tried to change Reblogs and people rightfully got up in arms, this is a LOT worse. In order to have access to any sort of thing dubbed mature, and We haveALL seen what they think is mature, Everything from a black and white photo of a black woman's arm, to posts about IUD recalls, to a nude painted by a 17th century artist, to anything involving the word Trans; you have to send your personal information to a third party site that WILL get hacked, and you will be doxxed. And they can say "Oh shit, well it wasn't us who sent your name address and gender identity to Moldovan teenagers, here's a couple extra minutes in the ball pit.

That's bad enough!!!!!!!! But the entire idea of needing permission from state authorities to access anything labeled mature by our friendly AI overlords is some fucking Boll shit. Die Gedenken Sind Frie baby. This is all a reaction to people getting uppity about their lowly lowly rights and is being propped up by the same bad actors tht have made life unlivable. Fuck that shit.

"Well it's only being rolled out in Brazil and UK" Yeah, to start. "Well they're being forced to do this by laws." YOu know it's always really funny when these tech giants (Or whatever you call owning tumblr dot com) get really antsy about laws considering they pick and choose which ones they abide by.

This is a breaking point and it's going to be very interesting to see how we proceed from here.
