hey everyone, we probably all know what happened by now. i don't think the situation needs any introduction.
what zeal did is sickening and even though i couldn't get through the entire document myself, i trust and support ren. this is vile and zeals project doesn't deserve any more support or recognition, as any of that would probably end up being support of him. i don't think the statement he's supposedly working on can change anything either. this is just disgusting and my heart goes out to null.
to think i have poured so much passion into it makes me feel dirty and i will not continue doing it. daily pressure and anything else strictly official pressure related is over. i always admired the work of people unrelated to the main dev team (music producers, concept artists and voice actors) the most and seeing as even they're stepping down, the game feels like an empty shell anyway. not that it matters, as a real person got severely hurt.
as to what this means for my activity online, in more detail (keeping under the cut, as i don't think this should be the main focus in here, but i want to clearly clarify my stance as such an active content creator for the game, in full):
samuel is going to get detached from being an oc for this game and so are all of the projects related to them. i know i have a bunch of gift art of them i haven't responded to yet, but in the current situation i will not do it as a) im severely uncomfortable with samuels current attachment to the game and b) i think getting hyped about anything related to the game would be very, extremely distasteful. this is not the time to look away from the victim. however, i appreciate what you made and i have seen it. all of your works are wonderful. i hope i can properly thank all of you soon.
i might turn my sebastian (and possibly painter) into an oc as well. i always thought the writing for him was ultimately handled pretty poorly and most of his charm came from his passionate community, my own ideas, overwrites and giannis efforts. to me, he stopped being truly zeal's (and the rest of the dev team's) a long time ago. however, i don't think i can bring myself to draw him for a while as he still was the poster boy for this harrowing mans creation and his main cash cow.
whatever i choose to do next, because i definitely am moving away from pressure, i do want to say thank all of you for your support. you made my passion for art come back, and even though daily pressure was, at times, a bumpy ride for me, i still consider it to be one of my greatest accomplishments. i met so many wonderful people thanks to it, too.
thank you for sticking with me through it, it really was an honour, and thank you for all kind wishes you've given me in the past couple of hours. i will not reply to every single one of them, as once again, this isn't about me and i don't want to shift attention from the actual victim. please support ren, first and foremost.
To all trans men on this site, im gonna put you onto something. If you are in need of a binder but have unsupportive parents or are closeted, if you have a fondness for the ocean, or if youre bored with the normal colors of binder available, go to Waterlust and get a top
As you can see above, theyre all patterned like marine life, but theyre also reversible! One side has the pattern, the other is solid color, and they're all fun colors like blues and reds and greens, but some like the whale and tiger shark ones are more subtle grays and blacks. I have the whale shark one and the spongebob one (which was a limited run), and theyre both very well designed and printed. My spongebob one has served me for roughly four years and it hasn't worn at all.
What really matters? The binding power, and these things are great. I'm a triple D cup and with a medium I look like I have subtle pecs. They're also much less compressive than other binders due to their materials (which are mostly recycled!), so you can wear them for longer without getting sore. When I did more intensive theater and band performances, I could still act, dance, and play bari sax without getting winded or hurting myself. They're also swim tops, and I've scuba dived in these as well comfortably.
If that wasn't all, proceeds from each purchase are donated towards marine conservation and education initiatives! Purchasing shark printed ones specifically donate to shark studies and conservation orgs, parrotfish and coral prints support coral restoration initiatives, and so on. The high price tag is for a good reason.
Overall, if you're looking for an all around good binder, one that matches your whimsey and supports a good cause, Waterlust is the place to go.
this is not the first time lia has ever caught seb trying to do diy pericings in the bathroom
i imagine that one of the very first things sebastian ever does after getting to go back home is replace literally all of his piercings that he lost, as a way of reclaiming his body and making it "his" again, after so long of having absolutely zero bodily autonomy. perhaps not the safest method- but to be fair he can't exactly waltz into a piercing shop lol
(also he would absolutely find the irony in giving himself snake bites hilarious he thinks hes so funny)
reposting this AGAIN bc tumblr won't show it in the tags and they still havent responded to my support ticket but whatever ig *shrug*
daily sebastian (pressure) doodles until i find a cursed purple glittery violin on the side of the road that will whisper to me to murder the local redhead day 153
more of the post escape au seb! i had ambitious plans for today, but alas. i am sleepy
thinking of a name for this au,, i feel like it needs one...
HEY SO... I TORE THROUGH THE CHAMBERS. 2000 EXPENDABLES DEAD. COMMISSIONS OPEN!
but smiuff, how do i reach out?
dms here on tumblr! approach me with a ref sheet of your character(s) + the category you want + a description of your order. i'll either accept or deny, ask extra questions and make a sketch. then i'll send u a link to my kofi so i can get paid to finish the drawing!
but smiuff, where are the rules?
i'll draw you anything. okay thats probably a stretch, maybe not stuff like extremely complicated mecha, but fuck it i can sure try! as long as it's not straight up fetish content/nsfw i can probably do it (or break down trying)!
hey smiuff, how long does it take for you to finish the drawing?
for my own comfort i'll say max 3 weeks. it might arrive earlier than that, though!
hey smiuff, how many spots are available?
perfect question man. for now the situation looks like this:
full render - 1 available!
render 2 - unavailable for now! sorry!
(either) simple - 3 available!
after the queue clears up and i have a little break, i'll open them up again!
this is first come first serve.
hey smiuff, how pathetic and soggy and wet sick kicked puppy are you?
very much so! please be patient with me for this first round. i hope everything goes smoothly, but i am doing this for the first time ever, so it definitely won't be perfect.
hey smiuff can i make out with your sebastian?
wow that question is very much less standard than the other ones. the anwser is yes, btw. however this is supposed to be a smooth transition into the segment where i tell you that if you have any more questions, my dms are open!
All I see on here is this shirtless fish, so I figured it’s my turn to share. Drew this a while ago, but I’m feeling inspired to share with the masses (the masses being tumblr)
