The sleepless

I do the art thing sometimes, may disappear for a month then appear back with a new post, I use any pronouns by mainly they/them, I'm 19 years old and I like MCYT lmao (you may also see some other things I like sometimes) sfw blog! all ages appropriate please!

[the-sleepless]

.-=-.-=-.-=-.-=-.-=-.-=-.-=-.-=-.-=-.

Hello!

My name is Sleepless, I'm 19, and I use all pronouns, But primarily use They/Them!

This is a sfw blog! Please keep anything inappropriate out of this blog please. There may be minors here and I don't want that shit on this blog. Thanks. If you comment anything or send anything inappropriate you will be blocked and your shit removed from my comments and ask box. Thanks.

I have Polyfragmented DID, audhd(Autism/ADHD) and dyslexia. so keep that in mind when interacting!

Im taken. Don't flirt you will be blocked.

I am a digital artist, mostly working in ClipStudioPaint and IbisPaintX depending if im using my computer or phone!

I will most likely only draw MCYT(Dsmp/Hermitcraft/Lifeseries) or Deltarune as it’s my current main hyper-fixation/special interests, but I may do other stuff as well depending on what’s interesting to me on that day!

I am a massive spamtenna shipper, but do delve into other things and different types of Deltarune ships AU's and alternate story lines, so I don't stick to a main way of designing and drawing characters. (I also ship MCYT but only the characters never the CC's cause that's gross. I may post some MCYT stuff here but it's rare as of right now)

Feel free to ask me anything about the stuff I do! ^^

I do not do commissions, I don't have a way you could pay me, and I don't have a rate plus don't have the time to do so. but if you send an ask on a topic I like/draw I may draw it. Just keep in mind I wont draw everything asked of me. Only if it interests me. (Putting this here cause of bots on posts, so just in case they went bots I can just say check pinned post. <3)

If you have come here from my alt, uh, no you didn't shh, I don't have an alt, idk what your talking about/silly

.-=-.-=-.-=-.-=-.-=-.-=-.-=-.-=-.-=-.

Go check out my comic! Maybe even submit an ask! :D [Supernova Au] (Dead as hell unfortunately, but if there is interest I might restart it again?)

#Sleepless Rambles

[the-sleepless]

Oh yeah, why'll we are active right now, our current art be upon the

OC's be upon ye, well- kinda. These are dsmp oc's. They are specificly the "blood God lives" / the lives before technoblade within me and my partners dsmp lore. There is ment to be 9 but I haven't drawn techno yet so- yeaahh, enjoy Ig- more info about them under cut

to explain anything about them id have to explain me and my partners dsmp lore and that would take a long text post of words (which I am down to do if there is curiosity to it but don't wanna do if not lol cause there is alot), but I'll put the basic info here so you know how to refer to them for funsies!

their names in order are Robin, Clove, Lilith, Charlie, Austin, Brudus, Alkedama & Ender.

Robin is gender fluid but does use all and any pronouns, and is Bisexual and polyamourus. She is taken by two other characters but uh- toxic/tragic Yuri. Yes, it involves trans fem Herobrine. Yes I would elaborate if asked but only if asked, he is a yellow parakeet avian

Clove is non-binary using they/them, and is aro-ace, they are a bovine demon

Lilith is a transwoman and uses she/her, and is a lesbian! She is dating charlie, she is a golden retriever hybrid

Charlie is under the non-binary unbrella and uses They/Xe, they are pansexual, and is dating lilith, xe are a brittish shorthair hybrid

Austin is under the non-binary unbrella and uses Ve/They/Xe/It, ve bisexual and ace, Xe is an Indian ringneck avian

Brudus is trans masc and uses He/It pronouns, and is gay! He dated foolish and is the father to Finley and foolish jr in our lore, but to explain that I'd have to explain our(me and my partners) god lore, he is a siren

Alkedama is bi gender and uses She/He, she is Bisexual. She is taken by a character but to explain this characters existence it will take me a hot moment so-, he is a cardinal (the type of bird) angel

And lastly ender, she is a Demi-Girl and uses she/they, she is also pansexual, she is taken by a sapnap life, which are also oc's but ones my partner came up with first which led to the creation of the techno lives. They are well- and Enderman, obviously.

They are all cannonicly dead, which I will provide deaths here too! For funsies lol- I probably won't post about them ever unless I'm proud of art of them, or an asked about them so why not share this here-

Robin died at the hands of their lovers due to going insane, being the catalyst character/character that created the snowball that lead to the creation of alot of evil things within their world. They are also one of my faves <3

Clove died by the hands of BadBoyHalo, that has lore to it which would involve explaining our god lore, but to keep it vuage, they killed the first sapnap life, who was bads daughter, so bad killed them in revenge.

Lilith & charlie was burnt to death hand in hand with eachother at the hands of people who did not respect their domain of blood/followed a different god.

Austin died from poisoning themselves slowly though experimenting with potions and chemicals, being an apothecary

Brudus was killed by foolish's followers without foolish's knowlage or want for being on foolish's domain (the sea), foolish was never able to put his body to rest as he could never find him. (Angst angst angst angst and more angst or whatever)

Alkedama is not dead. /Silly/Jokes, she died trapping Herobrine, but her magic still remains to keep him trapped for as long as the blood God still exists and has magic.

Ender died by the hand of her lover, as an act of mercy. She let him kill her, to help stop the spread of the end virus, after she died he ends up destroying the end creating it into the wasteland it is today (alot more lore then that but thats it simplified kinda)

They also have last names well- except for brudus cause in our lore sirens don't have last names so uh-

Robin Eris

Clove Armistead

Lilith Fidel

Charlie Fidel

Austin Arzt

Budus. Sirens don't have last names

Alkedama Aetos

Ender Beloved (:3)

That's all for now, if there is any questions just send an ask and I'll explain the best I can, there is alloooottt of lore, like- 5-6ish years worth of personal headcanons and lore so- yeah-

[the-sleepless]

Imma draw a new banner for us I think, we are no longer as autistic about deltarune as awe where before, it's back to dsmp rn so- my blog should prob reflect that lol

[the-sleepless]

Especially since my art style has done another change and stuff lol so it might be good to reflect that on my blog

[the-sleepless]

Imma draw a new banner for us I think, we are no longer as autistic about deltarune as awe where before, it's back to dsmp rn so- my blog should prob reflect that lol

[the-sleepless]

I've been heavily depating on wether or not to be open about this on our main or not, or if we should keep this to only alt acc's and sprarate blogs. But the more I've come to think about it, the more I realise having to hide a huge part of our identity on an online space we use so much without much need to hide it sucks and really fucking hard to do. So-

Hi! We are Traumagenic polyfragmented DID system!

This is something we have known about ourselves for awhile now, but wasn't normally open about it unless it was something involving plurality in some way or close friends/partners. But as of late realised it is such a core part of our identity, that hiding it within our main acc feels wrong to us.

For those who don't know what a 'traumagenic polyfragmented did system' is, let me explain/break it down!

Traumagenic means our system was formed due to trauma during our early childhood years.

Polyfragmented means that our system fragments alot more then most systems (fragments being not fully formed or formed at all headmates/alters), which means we have a high head count within our system due to this fact (it also means our system is quite complex, having meny layers and siasystems (siasystems are systems within systems! Like sub systems!)

DID system means that we have dissociative identity disorder, and all the symptoms with it, including pretty bad memory issues, dissociation and different identitys.

Now that that's explained, I want to make one thing clear. This is not a blog for syscourse. Our stances on things within the plural community and what we do or don't support is not what this blog is about or for, this is a blog for us to share our art, headcanons, ideas and cool things we find. Everyone is welcome to see and share my art, and I will not bar anyone who relates to or likes something we post to see it or interact with it. This also means that harrassment is not allowed on our blog. Our content is for everyone. And therefore please keep things civil if we ever do post anything about plural stuff, we will remove comments that promotes harassment of any groups, or harassment of any single person.

We also use I/we interchangably if you couldn't tell lol

Now that that's all said, let me introduce you to our system and some info about it! Below cut

- We are introject heavy! fictives specificly making up pretty much 90% of our system, due to the nature of being both autistic and polyfragmented.

- the most common types of fictives we have are Mcyt {Dsmp, HermitCraft, Life series} and utmv/deltarune! The most common type of characters that we have fictives of is; grian, sans(and AU's), spamtons, technoblades, Wilburs and Tommy's. Though we have many many more of all different kinds. And at least one of each hermit/Life series/dsmp characters.

- why'll we aren't quite comfortable giving an exact number of headmates here, we are happy to answer any questions about being a larger system, and happy to answer any questions about plurality of our system in general!

- or hosts names are moth and myst, moth uses all/any pronouns and is brainmade but has source memorys within a media source and myst uses she/he/they pronouns and is a fictive of moth within a Minecraft roleplay.

- we won't tag who is fronting for a post unless it is relevant for the post or if the fronter wants to, as it's often we are blurry in some way due to the nature of being polyfragmented.

- we love talking to people with the same source and is double and same source friendly lol

- don't expect many posts about plurality on here, we only post here when we feel like it, and it will probably normally be art. Since this is what we use this blog for.

- yes, some of our sources are problematic, some also have sources not typical to the source media they are from. Please treat all our headmates with the same respect you would for anyone else. Not some.

That's about all I have the energy for and also since it's June posting this, happy price month!

General tumblr reminder, since some people don't know: If the person's URL has "deactivated" plus a string of numbers (a date) after it, that means that they manually deleted their own blog. It doesn't mean they were banned. Banned blogs don't have "deactivated" after them and will just be the normal URL you can't click on or interact with. They look very similar and function the same, but they were caused by two very different things.

[hackfurs]

thats not true i dont think people would do that

Natural Black Hair Tutorial! Usually Black hair is excluded in the hair tutorials which I have seen so I have gone through it in depth because it’s really not enough to tell someone simply, “Black hair is really curly, draw it really curly.” 

The next part of Black Hair In Depth will feature styles and ideas for designing characters and I will release it around February. If you would like to see certain styles, please shoot me a message!

because this is the first time i have seen a tutorial on this, or even a specific mention of it, how has this just been ignored this whole time??

(racism. racism is how it’s been ignored this whole time. but still.)

Labubus are blind bags but they're also blind bags with some of the most insane dark patterns stacked on top. The online store for them has a thing where they tell you what you got the second you order it online so that you can immediately try again if you didn't get the thing you wanted.

There's also a shake feature that is designed to encourage you to buy more than one by narrowing down the possibility space on a crate of options so that if you're hunting a specific model you can verify that it's guaranteed to be in one of these three IF you buy all three right now!!!!!

[girlishgamine]

You can read more about what dark patterns are and how to spot them here.

Deceptive Patterns (aka Dark Patterns) - spreading awareness since 2010

The original website about deceptive patterns (also known as “dark patterns”) - tricks used in websites and apps that make you do things tha

[ralfmaximus]

That is a fucking awesome site everyone should visit. Don't skip the Hall of Shame.

[dailymanners]

I just thought of this post, which was actually how I learned what Dark Patterns are, because I tried to cancel my Adobe Acrobat subscription, and it took much longer than I anticipated because several times throughout the process it felt like it was intentionally trying to trick me into thinking I'd cancelled my subscription when I actually hadn't yet.

Please read up on Dark Patterns and learn how to recognize them.

I don't know which of you needs to hear this but "narc" is not short for "narcissist" when someone calls you a "narc" for snitching they are calling you a "narcotics officer"
