[bea, harper (skye’s), kai (univorns’ sona)]
day 1 revenge chain entries
these are the highlights of today! tap “keep reading” for context!
hi hello yes here is the context! vivi and i are doing an 800 level revenge chain to try to get on the top three chains of this season. for the first three days we’re doing 20 attacks each, before going down to 13 attacks a day (apd) (unless we want to increase our apd later on)
photo quality is bad since i don’t have a lot of time to neatly convert these trad drawings to digital 😭
so yeh, that’s what i’m up to!
4th of July plans?
nope, absolutely none, despite being an american i forget that holiday exists and i don’t really celebrate it tbh. /neu
my mom’s birthday, on the other hand, on july 5… now that’s something to party about /lh though she’s been in the hospital for a few days so her bday will probably be a chill day

following the art fight theme, i present characters from a themed roleplay i was in last year!
[francis, inanna, natas, venus, macabre, zayyan]
the scene took around 5 hours. this is the massively sped up speedpaint:
background based off of an unsplash image. regretfully i bugged out and lost the link to the page, but here’s the image:
[francis]

rushed (1 hr and 48 mins) thing i drew vaguely in the theme of my art fight team :))
i’m eh on how it turned out but considering how fast it took me i can live with it
what does your unfinished art gallery look like?
ohhh boy. there are like, over 150 WIPs, doodles, experimental stuff, etc in one of my procreate folders. that folder is essentially my sketchbook, which i started very early into 2023.
click/tap “keep reading” to see some of what’s inside that folder 👀
[francis, maddox, cecie, inanna, ayelet, rubithin, callie, savreel, nereida, and… me. yes i’m there too]
we got shitposting:
we got some wips i abandoned:
(who knows, maybe i’ll redraw them. they’re too old for me to wanna keep as is though)
we got doodles:
there’s obviously a lot more i could show but i’ll leave yall with these for now!
What are tone tags
in short, tone tags are used to help indicate tone of any given message. this is helpful for folks like me who struggle to interpret tone! here’s an example (pay attention to the bolded tags):
“[name] is a really cool person! like, just look at them, they’re glowing. /gen”
“[name] is a really cool person! like, just look at them, they’re glowing. /s”
the “/gen” tag clarifies that this is a genuine statement, versus the “/s” tag indicating the speaker is being sarcastic. this may seem obvious to you given the context of the conversation, but to someone who can’t judge tone well, you can see how much of a difference these statements are, despite the text being the same. one is positive and supportive, the other critical.
a good thing to do to determine how often you should use tone tags is ask the person you’re talking with, especially if they’re open about being neurodivergent. different people will have different preferences! using tags like these can save you (and the person who needs them) a lot of miscommunication errors, leading to smoother conversations.
if you want more information about tone tags and how to use them, consult this website! thanks for asking :]
“What’s this? The consequences of my own actions? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-“ -him, probably /j
Sol likens himself to a martyr, a victim, or a broken bird. He is none of the sort
As a rule of thumb, don't reblog donation posts or people asking for donations unless they've been vetted and reblogged by Palestinian bloggers. We usually go to lengths to verify this shit because we know scammers have been faking to get people to send them money, using the urgency of our genocide as bait.
It's disgusting this is what we're dealing with, but people are losing money because of some truly evil people out there.
Accounts don't just randomly spring up on tumblr without gofundmes while asking for someone to help them create a campaign. Fuck out of here with that shit.
oops, forgot to send the refs:

caustic.caffeine’s art fight 2024 info
since the art prep thread is long and such. besides, there’s some things i’ll note that don’t fit there!
my art fight profile: https://artfight.net/~caustic-caffeine
my hitlist: https://forms.gle/VAoyqmHSmNdE9UDp8
plans: my biggest priority is getting onto the top three longest revenge chains this year. this person and i are shooting to reach 800 levels, minimum, which means at least 400 attacks per person. whew! that’s a lotta drawing! i’m setting a 13 drawing daily minimum for myself with some days where i’ll draw more, and probably some days where i’ll draw less. assuming vivi and i hit the 800 level mark/end up on the top 3, this’ll probably be the only year i attempt this xD i’ll die happy if we manage to get on the top 3 for sure.
i’m also hoping to hit some instagram mutuals and do some scenes, as far as art outside of the 800 level chain goes. i won’t hit the majority of the people in my hitlist; it’s there for me to find fresh ocs if i feel uninspired or bored by the ocs that i’ll be very exposed to/focused on this year
all this to say: i’ll do my best to revenge, but don’t expect it! (you will be more likely to get revenged if you attack fran, though heheh)
i’ll update this blog to reflect my status as things change. suuuper excited for this season!

my god, finally a card i can tolerate LMAO. imagine being a perfectionist about THIS…. (btw, here is where i got the template!)
believe it or not, i still have more prep i gotta do before the fight, buuuut the majority of it is done! SUPER HYPED FOR THE FIGHT!!!! especially since a number of my insta moots are participating. they aren’t safe 😁😁😁
Art fight prep thread
i’ll be periodically adding to this as i, well, do my prep for what will be my third art fight! there’s a number of things i need to do:
make references for the ocs that will be on my page (francis, maddox, cecie, iarmys, inanna, and ayelet (ayelet is @boxxed-upkr ‘s)) (three are done, but i may redo two of them..)
make icons for the above characters
make lil chibis of the above charas to sit on my home profile page
after teams are announced, make borders for this year’s attack icons
hunt down a person to do an 800 level revenge chain with, to try to be in the top 3 longest chains of the year
if possible, revamp the toyhouse pages of the public characters there
strikedown = completed

scene hitlist // revenge chain hitlist will be a long one!! aiming to be one of the top three longest chainers this year!
art fight profile: https://artfight.net/~caustic-caffeine
team: tbd! but i don’t mind friendly fires!
my characters: aside from one, all are humanoids! they exist within a dark fantasy/steampunk setting with healthy helpings of the occult, macabre, and otherwise potentially unsettling ✨on each of their profiles they have links to toyhouse pages with art storage and more info about their lore! references are a work in progress and a few characters i have hidden right now may be unhidden before art fight starts
who i’ll attack: in order of most likely to least likely! mutuals > characters on my hitlists > characters with themes i enjoy > beginner artists/people new to art fight/people with high attack ratios (hmu if that applies to you!) > people who attacked me first > bookmarks > everyone else
other notes: check out my socials for examples of my art! i occasionally dabble in animation, both frame by frame and tweening. if it means anything, i’m an autistic lgbtq+ disabled metalhead 😎. more about me on my site
examples of art range from late 2023 up to a few days ago
why keep someone else’s oc on you’re art fight page (Ayelet)
since said person is unsure if he wants to participate in art fight himself, i offered to him the opportunity to still get art of her without feeling obligated to participate in the event himself (and he was fine with the idea). plus, ayelet’s storyline is intertwined with the storyline of the charas unhidden on my profile, so might as well have her there as an option for those who might wanna draw interaction attacks :))
pick your poison 2024
hihi in the art fight discord server i have two minigames i made pinned in #prompts. this is the updated version of one of them :3c no credit necessary to play, but reblogs appreciated!
So I made a post recently about having hope for the future and so many people were talking about how they have felt hopeless about the future so here is another reminder that the world will not end with us. There's always a way. Maybe it's just the stubborn "where there's a will there's a way" attitude I was raised with talking or maybe it's because this has all happened before. the world has felt like it was ending so many times in so many centuries and for so many people but it doesn't. This isn't the end, these are signs of a new beginning: failed attempts at criminalising transness are admissions of hope from politicians who know that we will all be seen one day, workers on strike signal that we will no longer stand for the maltreatment of labourers. You know that saying-things have to get worse before they get better? That's what's happening right now. Hope is a weapon here's another reminder not to lay it down. Change is coming

How’s school
complicated. the situation is complicated. i’ll reblog with an explanation later
this template’s super well made! love it!!!
made a template for a customizable Art Fight profile card that's a little more information-heavy than the standard (also since the ones the site puts out have been difficult colors for me to read the past few years :'D )
✨ you can get the organized PSD here ✨ (it's compatible with Procreate also, I checked - just download the file, NOT the image preview!) and it's entirely free to use, though I'd appreciate credit / a link back! modification is also fine and encouraged; the font used is Verdana if you want to match it! ^w^
Ever thought of taking viewer drawing suggestions?
not really since i didn’t think there were enough eyes on me, but i’m open to it!
further solidifies the point of posting your work with ai poisoning applied! it isn’t a permanent solution, but it’s the best we have for if you wanna keep posting with your work not getting scraped as easily!
how does it feel knowing tumblr is the only (i think) safe space with no ai
i’ll be real with you: there aren’t any truly ”safe” platforms out there while good, universal regulations aren’t in place. nothing’s stopping ai bros from going to tumblr and manually grabbing images to train their algorithms on. i feel like platforms not doing the same (or at the very least, making it a permanent easy option to opt out) is bare minimum for any platform that wants to respect its users (yes, including the users who don’t post art, since on instagram for example they’re scraping ALL posts, not just art).
i’m happy that to my knowledge tumblr is still a platform that wants to respect the artist community, but either way i’d still be posting. we aren’t gonna win against ai by running away from the platforms that don’t respect us— we’ll win by staying and supporting each other, continuing to use the current ai poisoning methods, and campaigning for our rights as artists and copyright holders of our work!
