I just got an ask about a Native spirit that many Natives have asked monsterfuckers to not use.
It starts with a W.
People from the culture it’s from do not say its name because in their culture, saying the name summons the spirit. Out of respect for my friends from that culture, I do not say/type the name either.
I would kindly ask you not put that creature in my ask box in the future. I know the person that submitted it likely didn’t know so there’s no hard feelings. It’s alright. I’m not upset.
I’m not really the best person to educate folks on this topic and I wish I had some resources on why that’s not a good thing for non-Native people to use for their fiction.
I’m sure even my wording here isn’t great. I know the spirit is from a specific Native culture (there’s a lot of them, for those that didn’t know lol) and I can’t remember which one(s) and my brain is still fuzzy from being sick.
So if any of my followers are familiar with this issue, please feel free to share the info of why this isn’t good.
Again, I understand the person that sent the ask likely didn’t know all this. I’m not upset. I just think it’s worth mentioning.
Hello everyone, today I want to make a PSA about a company that calls themselves Dreame or Dreamestory on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
I was recently made aware by two followers from Twitter that this asian company had been using my artwork to promote their app. I have not authorized this, nor been given fair compensation from Dreame for using my work.
My artwork of mine and @unicornia93 OC’s Bremin and Nyniv is being featured along stories that have absolutely nothing to do with the artwork. Dreame even went as far as removing my watermark, which makes their intentions blatantly obvious. I’m not the first artist to endure this, and many have reached out to me to tell similar stories.
DO NOT support companies like Dreame who steal, especially not from smaller artists like myself. It disgusts me to see a paid service like Dreame profit off of stolen works and personal photos they’ve taken off of social media without permission and no credit given to artists or original owners.
— I have filed a report to Facebook and reported this to Dreame’s Copyright Infringement department, but it remains to be seen if it helps. —
If you can, please spread the word on your own social media platforms. Go rate them poorly on Facebook, make a post about it on Instagram, go @ them on twitter… Just make people aware of what they’re sponsoring.
Don’t help them grow. It could be your art next time.
tl;dr: Dreame/Dreamestory sucks and steal other people’s art and photos without credit, and they got hell to pay.

i drew this using a mouse so it's borderline incomprehensible, but consider: time traveler eret thinking foolish is the cause of their time traveling because he's the only common link between every time eret travels, which leads to eret deciding if he sees foolish again, it is On Sight
MY TA SHOT SOMEONE IN THE FOOT AND THE PROFESSOR WAS SO FUCKING QUICK LMAOOO

Things about top surgery that I wasn’t aware of going in:
They’ll probably put a breathing tube down your throat after you’re knocked out. You’ll wake up and your throat will hurt (sort of like strep) for a few days after
You need to wear compression tights for a week or two after surgery, they’ll provide them. This is to prevent blood clots since you won’t be moving around a lot
The IV goes in your hand??? They’ll probably numb you first, which is good. But as someone who’s incredibly uncomfortable with medical needles, seeing a needle in my hand was weird
The surgeon will come in before the operation to draw on your chest. They’ll also ask what size you want your nipples to be. You need to tell the surgeon what size you want your nipples to be, don’t be afraid to be specific. These are your nipples.
Anesthesia/surgery will make you EXHAUSTED afterwards. Like “falling asleep if you’re sitting down for more than a few minutes” exhausted
The tightness of the bandage will probably cause most of the pain. Don’t mess with it, the nurse will fix it during the post-op
You will be PARCHED afterwards. You’re going to be IMMENSELY thirsty, drink LOTS of water. I found that sprite is good too, but you’ll want so much water
Someone should invent a word for when you’re jumping and popping

Hey, hey! Friendly reminder to make sure your supposedly “fearless” character gets their darkest fear revealed in the worst way possible so they break down into a vulnerable shaking mess in front of all the people they care about
