20+ || She/her || Lesbian || will occasionally reblog NSFW so be warned. BLM + ACAB. I will not compromise on this. DNI Fascists/MAPs/Incest Enjoyers etc. If you're gonna be gross I don't want to deal with you.
Hello my I'm called Umbrala but any variation on the name is fine with me.
I'm very reblog heavy which I'm not 100% sure is an issue or not on Tumblr but I thought I should point that out regardless.
The fandom that I'm most into is Vocaloid (and vsynths as a whole really) but also a variety of other fandoms that are too extensive to put into one post. Just don't expect to follow me for one specific thing is all I'm trying to say.
I do art sometimes but it's mostly as a hobby and it's all for me first before anyone else. But if you want to look anyway look under the #myart tag.
I'm also on Bluesky if you want to follow me on there for some reason. (@umbrala.bsky.social)
Please Do Not come for my bones if I ship something/like a character that you don't. I don't do discourse and if you try to start something with me I will simply ignore you. Likewise if I see anyone posting anything that I don't vibe with I will also block and move on with my life bc I have more important stuff to do. There's no need to witch hunt people, let's have some common decency.
Thanks for reading all of this jargon and I hope we get along!!
sometimes I talk about disliking copyright/IP on here, and I always try to stress that the reason these conversations matter is because copyright law is used in real life to hurt real people. I want to highlight a current example of this happening which I haven't seen talked about on my dash yet.
Solar Being is a small business run by two natural hair sculpting artists. their art has gone viral online a few times, and one of their most recognizable creations are their shaped hair puffs:
recently, their business has been under attack by frivolous DMCA & copyright infringement complaints by a competing company. Solar Being has had to close pre-orders for their hair extensions and redirect the funding they raised through a kickstarter campaign into now building a legal defense fund, at the expense of their allocated labor and production budget. in the meantime, they can't even post uncensored photos of their star puffs to social media without facing copyright claims. this issue goes beyond just promotional materials and is also affecting any posts where they (or their customers!) have their hair puffs visible.
on Solar Being's legal defense page they say they "believe [geometric hairstyle] designs should remain free for others to use, reinterpret, and express through their creative and commercial endeavors". and if these copyright infringement complaints are held up, it will likely affect the rights of other natural hair sculpting artists to create designs like this.
if you'd like to support Solar Being's legal fund they're accepting donations now, and I'd recommend supporting them through social media as well. I'm not personally associated with Solar Being and am just repeating what they've already said through their website and social media.
lots of people around copyright/IP discussions like to talk about supporting artists, and if you want direct that supportive energy somewhere productive I feel this situation is one that deserves your attention.

冴えない人が王様になったら
民に優しく変えるのに
My wallet's gone cold, thanks to the bust
It's practically trendy to give a condolence "good luck"
If some uninteresting lout were to become king,
I bet he'd treat the masses with much more kindness!

ボクが国の王様に
That's an impossible wish, of course
Just letting my thoughts stray while applying for jobs

I had become king of this country?!

廃せ排せと横暴な群衆
カッとしたくともヨロレイヒ
It's a miracle, society's still in chaos
There's no such thing as prodigies anymore
A tyrannical demand for my resignition
I don't even have the strength to get mad, yodelayheehee

Forcing a smile through all the stress
BAD Lark, I don't even have anyone to vent to
