Hospital stays ruin a lot of plans

[curioscurio]

i'll do it for sam

[curioscurio]

And when there was only one pair of footprints in the sand, that's when Samwise Gamgee carried me

[curioscurio]

I think we need sam more than ever this year. But we WILL get through it.

every day I learn bot comments on ao3 are stooping lower and lower

anyway if you get a comment like this, chances are that they are bot and their goal is to do whatever it takes to get you to delete your work, most certainly (from what I’ve heard) it’s because they want to “safely” steal your work, use it to train their ai without you being able to rightfully claim ownership of your work since “there’s no proof that the work was stolen/was posted elsewhere first by you” because the original source has already been deleted.

THEY ARE ALL BOTS. at first it was “ao3 is deleting fics and your entire account will be affected unless you delete the fics yourself” then it was “this work contains contents that are illegal and they have already reported you and your fic to the police” (yes, that’s how desperate these bots are), and now it’s this.

report their comments to ao3 for spam—in this case, specifically, I think you may be able to report them for harassment too—and don’t pay attention to them, most importantly don’t delete your works, don’t feel discouraged by their comments. remember that they are bots and they mass comment something like this on people’s works at random to get people to delete their works. (or even if they’re not bot, they are still pathetic bullies who don’t deserve your time or attention.)

'ao3 needs a like and dislike button'

what you need, my algorithm-rotten minded friend, is a grip

[asexualbert]

Oh, they DO have those!

The like button should be at the bottom, looks like this:

The dislike button differs depending on your device but it should look something like one of these:

Hope that helps :)

Taking part in the final fantasy 14 sticker trade this year. Was making it a deep dungeon theme (namely that minion trap)

[byarcelllis]

ATTN: If you see someone in-game using my name that's not from Balmung, it's an impersonator.

I don’t own these characters and these were likely created by someone who has been harassing me. If it’s not too much of a bother, please report these accounts/characters for impersonation:

I’ve kept quiet about this because I’m not really fond of bringing drama on soc/med. But this person has already crossed the line multiple times:

For over a year now, Schezar Skyblade from Mateus has been harassing me both in and outside of the game.

Keep reading

[byarcelllis]

UPDATE: Just wanna add more to this, because this harrassment from Schezar Skyblade still hasn’t stopped.

At this moment, I cannot publicly reveal any details, but if you see any accounts claiming me or my commissions are a ‘scam’, please feel free to contact me if you have any concerns:

I’ve posted about this issue before (original linked below). From the trail we’ve found online, this was the work of the same person who has been harassing me both in-game in FFXIV and across other social media platforms:

As of writing, the sites they have created on Carrd have been taken down multiple times due to violating the platform’s content policies. Several Twitter accounts have already been suspended for the same violations, but they continue to make dummy Twitter accounts in order to keep up with their harrasment. This abuse from Schezar Skyblade has been going on since 2021, ever since they’ve been kicked out of a local FFXIV Discord community for the same behavior. More details of their previous harrassment here: Twitter Thread 1 | Twitter Thread 2

Guilt can make people irrational at the worst times.

I’d like to think lumine does suffer survivors guilt (one doesn’t need to be dead to leave behind others to suffer).

What’s missing is the other party (mostly because I couldn’t decide who would be there…)

“You don’t need give me an answer, just… listen. Later, feel free to forget and ignore this ever happened, that is what I’ll be doing as usual. I just need to… get this off my chest I suppose…”

[zaheela]

I had an idea to add something to this to make sense of the why but brain go chirp at the moment. Maybe later…

[zaheela]

I really do like this outfit and really want it in game. To the point I actually doodled it… originally it was supposed to be someone else but a certain someone pointed out that it definately had a diluc vibe. So… yeah. Also, yes I realize drk could also work…

Time taken: about hour and a half (I got distracted) a lot

[chanlyeya]

“A certain someone”. Hmmm, they sound smart ;)

[zaheela]

Your ego is fluffy enough to affect my art muses. You should be proud.

[chanlyeya]

I am. Immensely. I should wear it over my shoulder like kaeya does that…thing (boa?) he wears

[zaheela]

At this rate your ego would less be his fur fluff thing and more sesshomarus mokomoko thing

Ashton: *gets the girl…and the flashing neon death flag*

I love ‘em Zahe (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*: ･ﾟ✧

[zaheela]

The only way it could get more obvious is if flashing arrows followed over his head and ominous music auto plays every time he moves

reblogging because I realized I forgot to upload one of the panels!!

[zaheela]

*slides in barely* I made it in time! It’s not my best work, it’s not like my other ones, but it is…. Something? I dunno. It was a goal? I kinda want to come back to this and property draw it, not just take 1 hour on it… ah well…
