BOOST THIS

Quick post to let you know there is NOTHING wrong with drawing yourself. It isn’t narsacistic and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

It took me YEARS to feel confident in the way I am and enjoy the way I look. So hell yes I am going to draw myself whenever the hell I feel like it and you should to. Self inserts, in clothes you wish you had, interacting with your fav characters, DO IT ALL!

It’s fun and in the end that is what drawing is all about <3

WARNING!!!!

People, please be careful. There are also people tracking children and people and putting bids on them based on their profile pictures on whatsapp, tracking and kidnapping them. Especially young children, so please be cautious, especially parents who have their children as their profile pictures.

Please pass this on to everyone so that they are aware of the danger. I don’t how it is all around the world but I know it can’t just be here so please please spread the word. Thank you.

Art Theft

I’ll put out a plea…

I would like to ask any artist who sees this: Please, if you don’t already put your username on your artwork, PLEASE, start putting your username on your artwork. It’s not ugly, it’s not a distraction from your beautiful work. You deserve credit.

Write it next to the character, get creative and put it in the background as part of the visual, throw it on the left side of the image, avoid the bottoms and tops of the image though as those are easily cut off.

MAKE IT ANNOYING TO EDIT IT OUT.

PLEASE.

MAKE IT BIG.

MAKE IT FLASHY.

MAKE IT PART OF YOUR ART.

And please block any art thieves. Report them if they steal your stuff, tell people whose stuff has been stolen. YOU HAVE THE RIGHT. Don’t let people trick you into thinking you have no right just because it’s fanart. YOU DO. IT’S YOUR ART.

i really can't stand this anymore oh my god

so i have made a few posts talking about this, but my mom is Making Ultimatiums that are going to fuck me over financially just for the hell of it. i am currently unemployed, receiving no more benefits, and i have absolutely no savings. at this point i have a negative balance on my bank account and i have nothing much i can do about it. i am a trans man with adhd, ptsd, and severe depression so it has become inhospitable in my current living environment, and i need to move, except i currently live in one of the most expensive places in the US and i don't know how to drive. basically, i need to buy a bike, get a plane ticket, and find a job. so this is a mutual aid request but also like. if any of you know of any trans people who know of any trans safe living areas that are not wildly expensive, please message me!

anyway i have talked for too long, here is my info
