hey hey! I'm Tiel, she/her, and that's all you're getting to identify me here <3 you can look at my sona though
if you've stumbled over here then I can only assume you were looking on purpose since I mostly keep to myself, in which case, welcome! so long as you're not a piece of shit to or around me, feel free to hang out. I am a firm believer in having your own corner of the internet, and this is one of the main spots I do that for myself; as such, what you'll find here is going to very wildly differ between days, and it's all to cater to me and basically nobody else.
please do not tag me in donation posts or send me asks about donating to you. i have no money to give and no reach to help get you exposure from people who would be able to. i hate to say it but you would be better off looking elsewhere for help.
I don't do softblocking in either direction, so if you're able to see this page, congratulations! you're most likely fine! on the flipside though, if you're softblocking me for whatever reason, I'm really bad at noticing things like that and would in all honesty prefer if you just fully blocked me (genuine)
this post might be edited at some point, and I'll reblog it with an addition mentioning the changes if I do mess with things here
tags of note under the cut
here's some tags I use fairly often, or that exist for filter purposes! this section might change too, so be aware of that!
#pinned post - you are here!
#targeted reblog - I know people that enjoy things, and sometimes I like to attack those people with cannons
#reblog game - for posts that come with minigames or other fun things to do if you reblog them!
#reblog bait - for other reblog-oriented posts that unfortunately do not come with enrichment but I wanted to reblog anyways
#:3 - :3
#you will look at this - art reblog tag, added to posts with art or other cool things that I did not make
#foxposting - basically post about or containing as fox gets tagged with this bc foxes are fun and I enjoy them a lot
#tailsposting - like foxposting but for specifically Miles "Tails" Prower
#kumihoposting - like foxposting but for specifically Kumiho Cookie from Cookie Run, also known as The Single Solitary Reason I Still Care About Cookie Run In 2023
#a rustle in the bushes || art tag - as suggested, this is my art tag! I don't really post art very often, but when I do, it'll be under this tag
#the fox hole recipe book - if a post has a recipe, either made by me or reblogged from someone else, I'll add this tag! it's a bit sparsely used, since I don't find much good recipe stuff, but it's there!
#in the bushes you find a strange mushroom - an extension of the art reblog and art tags; if something is tagged with this, the art in question is intended for mature or adult audiences by the OP. sometimes these will have mature labels on the posts themselves, sometimes they won't; this tag exists to let people who may not want to see it either way to filter it out. as a general rule though, I am probably reblogging these for a reason, and you don't win any prizes for guessing it
#draft clearing - I use this when I'm going through my veritable hoard of drafted posts and dredging some up to see the light of day. why I do this instead of using a queue, nobody knows, least of all myself
#food, #food tw, #tw food - these are all blacklist tags I use, and admittedly I may be forgetting to add something here or to tag something in general; I'll keep it consistent for things in here though. keep in mind, if something isn't in this section, I probably don't consistently tag for it! I used to add "tw" to the beginning and end of some of these tags, hence the slight repetition, but these days I just use the raw word for simplicity's sake
#drizzle, #storm, #fire, and #ice - deprecated tags originally used to denote if posts were serious or not. storm and ice were for serious posts, while drizzle and fire were for non-serious posts. I have way too many total posts to remove/replace these tags by this point, so you're absolutely gonna see them if you go looking, and I wanted to clarify what they were for as a result. some slight typos of these (drizzle especially) are probably under this umbrella too, if the variations that keep showing up in my suggested tags are any indication
Look, i know you said the problematic thing over a decade ago, have been squeaky clean ever since, aren't like that anymore and have grown as a person, but I'm only just finding about it now, so it's basically like it just happened so i gotta persecute you and harass you out of your community. You understand :)
still one of the most insteresting patterns i've seen with internet harassment campaigns is this agonizing habit to combine or even frontload extremely serious accusations with extremely bullshit ones, or even just like, petty critiques or cringe reacting at art their target has made. one of salem's most prominent harassment blog accused him of all sorts of serious (though obviously spurious) accusations but a lot of them were buried under posts nitpicking how he draws guitar straps. the rodfellows callout doc proclaims to contain a serious accusation of grooming before bogging it under layers and layers of quite frankly embarassing accusations of intelectual property theft cause sometimes the artist drew mickey mouse. any moralizing about christine weston chandler's behavior is rancid transmisogynist dogshit, but it's noteworthy that the harassment campaign started because she made some comics people thought were embarassing.
it's impossible to hide that the serious accusations are post-hoc justification for cringe, people can't handle not liking the thing so they have to accuse of pedophilia, grooming, etc. it's more convenient to argue that the silly puppy art is pedophilic than it is to just not like it and leave it alone.
I think in the case of Salem, the rodfellows movie callout doc, and christine weston chandler, the many many tiny nitpicks build up a volume of weak "evidence" so that it's easier to believe the more serious accusations even in the extremely likely case that the accusations are completely unfounded. The extremely serious accusations then provide moral justification for perpetually needling the victim of harassment, and the stalking generates more evidence. We can pour over every single one of Salem's drawings and nitpick the guitar straps because you see, not only is his art morally bad for depicting fat and trans people in a way that makes me uncomfortable, but he's also a terrible person. We can endlessly extract wealth from making content about Christine, and don't worry, we're actually good people for doing this, because she actually raped her mom [CITATION NEEDED]. It's assurance that you aren't a bully for participating and it's pressure to participate and become part of the hunt, which mostly consists of endlessly stalking and needling every tiny social interaction and every piece of media.
"why was the ending so rushed it was so good up until the ending" the answer is the same every time no matter the media you're talking about: the author is a bee and had to go back to the hive to defend the queen
"Overconsumption is bad because we have limited resources on earth and the production of your comforts is done by practically enslaved global southerners" - yes real. Fucking real and true.
"Overconsumption is bad because you will get fat and lazy and stupid and fat and your brain will rot and youll be a feeble whiny disabled" - okay you are a eugenecist. Can you fucking hear yourself
same thing for ai usage. Are you complaining about companies investing in ai over people, or are you just an inch of self preservation away from openly calling its users the R slur? Be fucking honest i see how you talk.
to be clear this is a fully sincere political belief that I have. I am pro copyright infringement and in fact anti "asking for permission to make derivative art"
a few people in the notes seem to be under the impression that this is a stance that requires caveats. so just so we're all on the same page: no exceptions. "stealing art" (copying existing works for personal gain) is a good thing.
some of you seem to have bought into the capitalist lie that copyright infringement causes artists to "lose money", which fundamentally assumes that everyone (or even like a notable portion) who obtains a would-be-illegal copy would have otherwise paid full price to obtain the original. and like we all know that's not true right
