i guess i am gonna try posting on tumblr again??? i've got some old stuff to unload sry
since tumblr trashed this acct my art is moving here!!! i am leaving this account up so you may behold anything that remains, but i won't be using it to post anymore
Hey! For those here who’re still interested in my art, consider supporting me on patreon or ko-fi, if you could. I’ve recently had to eat almost 50$ in fees because USPS lost a package I was trying to deliver, and I kind of needed that money.
I’m pretty active on patreon in general, so it’s worth keeping an eye on it even if you can’t afford to sub to a tier right now :) you can also follow me on twitter, at hidraean.
Thank you!
preview of an assortment of sketch requests made over at my patreon -> https://www.patreon.com/hidraean
if you’re interested, give it a visit! you can expect this kind of content and more.
it’s so sad coming back here and seeing everything that’s been hidden... even posts that didn’t have any nsfw content. there are some that it won’t let me appeal despite being sfw... :(
that aside, i might decide to share my sfw art over here for a while longer.
i made a patreon! i’ll still be posting my usual works over at twitter, but i now have a place to put wips, sketches and misc. i don’t share anywhere else, including some added bonuses, like a 2018 year-long round-up!
you can find me at: https://www.patreon.com/hidraean and another reminder that you can also follow my twitter: https://twitter.com/hidraean i won’t be posting to tumblr going forward– most of my art doesn’t meet the guidelines, so there’s little point. i hope to see you around! and thanks again, everyone.
i drew a rare sfw picture... so i’ll share it here...

i’ve heard that tumblr is deleting nsfw blogs en masse. whatever the reason, if you’re interested in my art, feel free to follow my twitter at HIDRAEAN.
i also have a pixiv HERE if you’d rather follow me there
i’ve ALSO heard that tumblr is shadowbanning accounts who even so much as tag their pics with “nsfw” so… i feel my days are numbered here :( you can follow my twit/pixiv if you’re interested. if you don’t want to see retweets, reminder that you can turn them off on twitter by going to the account of someone you’re following, opening the drop down menu next to the “following” button, and selecting “turn off retweets”
well, now that tumblr is officially banning all NSFW content (starting dec 17), if you’d like to see my art, please take a look at my twitter or pixiv accounts (links above). i may look into other alternatives beside those two websites, but for now, those are the best places to go to view my art. i don’t know what will happen in the coming months, whether the account itself will disappear or only the nsfw posts, but i’m going to be reblogging this post every couple days in the hope that everyone who’s still interested in following me sees it.
honestly, despite not actively using tumblr for a while, i’m pretty sad about this. tumblr is where i came after i left dA, and i’ve been here for a long time, through many different fandom iterations :( as much as i enjoy using twitter, tumblr is a lot better for viewing old art, and i enjoyed the tag system as a secondary comment system. i’m hoping i can get a pillowfort account or something in the coming weeks, but i suppose we’ll see what happens.
to everyone who’s followed me for this long: thank you. i appreciate your likes, your reblogs, your comments. it was always so much fun coming back to read them– i still regularly go through old posts making the rounds to catch up on the tags i’ve missed, and it’ll be a shame when i can’t do that anymore.
it was a good run. thank you again.
Hey I'm a really big fan of your art and I would hate to stop seeing it. I was wondering if you had an instagram I could continue following you on. If not, it was a pleasure to see your work and I hope you continue to create and grow!
thank you! and sadly i don’t have an insta :( i might consider checking it out but as of now i know nothing about how it’s used for art. if i do get an account. i’ll update my post here with information about it.
Yes, You Should be Afraid
The sky isn’t falling, Tumblr isn’t deleting all the dirty fan art on purpose, and fandom isn’t going to leave Tumblr tomorrow.
However…
Once a site starts using bots to delete content willy-nilly, it has a serious problem and is not a safe home for fandom. In this case, the aim was to get rid of child pornography. (Actual child pornography.) The problem was already so out of control that they hit a bunch of innocent blogs by accident.
If this happened once, it’s going to happen again. It’s going to keep happening until Tumblr’s limited staff is so overstretched that they stop even a vague pretense of caring about false positives and accidental deletions of other content.
I’ve already seen several posts going around telling people to “calm down” and assuring us that Tumblr isn’t out to get us. Tumblr is not out to get us, but they’re not out to help fandom either, and you should definitely not calm down.
Make your other accounts now.
Have somewhere to go when Tumblr finishes imploding.
Two bits of advice:
-back up your stuff. make copies of your important text posts. save your media elsewhere. tumblr has a built in backup tool. use that.
-let your friends know where else to find you. fannish exodus works best when we end up the same places. (may I suggest dreamwidth?)
Last I heard dreamwidth was not a great option because it’s servers are in Russia. Many of us think of the internet as something that lives “in the cloud, up there somewhere” but much of it’s infrastructure is hosted in rooms full of servers around the world. The server’s physical locations are subject to the laws of those areas/countries.
That’s Livejournal, dude, not Dreamwidth.
Dreamwidth is a similar-looking site that started off as a code fork of LJ. It is run by a tiny team in the US and is explicitly fandom-friendly. They’ve already been attacked by having people tattle to paypal and get their paypal suspended. They had to find a (more expensive for them) credit card processor that wouldn’t hold them hostage, demanding they change their content policies.
From the ‘open expression’ part of their about us page:
“We believe in sustainability, not profiteering. We want to grow our business slowly and steadily, in a way that can support the community instead of exploiting it. We don’t own you or your content – we hope that you’ll empower us to be your hands and trust us to build a community that can last.
We will remain third-party-advertising-free. We believe it’s possible to run a sustainable hosted service without resorting to third-party advertising or third-party sponsorship – and we’re committed to showing you what we’re taking in, what we’re spending, and where the money’s going.”
The problem with Dreamwidth is that it looks old-fashioned and doesn’t have all of the features fandom likes: The image hosting is minimal, and there’s no reblogging.
What it’s great for is text discussion with threaded comments (for which we use reblogs here, but for which reblogs frankly suck).
The people and policies behind the site are all great.
As someone who’s moved with fandom from BBBoards and Yahoo groups to Livejournal to Dreamwidth and AO3 and Tumblr and most recently to Pillowfort - it seems to be par of the course for sites that are NOT fandom-made to sooner or later become unfriendly or less usable to fandom. Dreamwidth may be quiet, but it’s made by fen, and I will keep supporting it with my money and looking in now and then to see old friends. I will keep supporting AO3 that was born out of that same needs for the fandom to own the servers. I would suggest people not forget fanlore.org - it’s your fandom lore wiki, and you can create an user page for yourself to direct anyone how to find you in case one of your main non-fandom-maintained fannish-community sites goes boom (a lot of us did when LJ purges and Delicious blowout and other stuff like that happened, here’s mine with my fannish contact info - https://fanlore.org/wiki/User:Calime ). We will no doubt be ousted from many a wide world web pasture in the future like we were in the past, but fandom network is resilient and stays around. Also, please, don’t forget your history and keep supporting the sites and organisations that fandom has made for the fandom, like AO3 and OTW, or the ones that like-minded people have created to be fandom-friendly, like Dreamwidth.
Dreamwidth is the best option for conversation/text/meta. It’s fan run/designed and while as above sharing images and the like is extremely limited and you can’t reblog, it’s very fandom friendly, and it’s easier to control your blog and who sees what.
(If you don’t like not being able to reblog, you can bookmark posts at least to your “memories” or send them to other people and show them that way, so that’s a thing?)
The irony of my original post up there!
Consider the sky officially falling. Go make a DW. It’s free. When Pillowfort is back up, go look at that. But make a Dreamwidth now!
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.
