Started a Kingdom Hearts fanfiction (mixed with some Final Fantasy) called “Imperfect Love” on AO3 to help me get into the swing of writing again and because I am STILL not over Kingdom Hearts 3 just yet…
This is most likely going to be one of my biggest fanfictions I ever write (chapter 1 word count is more than double what I usually write).
Updates every Friday

So, originally, I said I was going to quit Tumblr (in that I would no longer make posts or reblogs) after the Purge and such. But after considering other options and talking to some friends and getting their opinions. I’ve decided to come back.
However, I will be using my Tumblr for a completely different reason. Instead of it just being a social blog (Discord) or an art blog (Twitter and Instagram) or a place to host my commissions (Ko-fi), I will be using it to promote any of my projects that I will be hosting somewhere else. So whenever I have requests or commissions open, or I make an update to a chapter for one of my comic projects or fanfictions I will post a link here for anyone who wishes to check it out. I will also be limiting my reblogs to support posts and for promoting zines and the like.
Soooooo…. I’ve been having some difficulty saving all my posts from Tumblr with the plans of having my art posts moved to Twitter. I tried to save and export my blog but after letting it sit for 3 days with nothing happening, I gave up and decided to just leave my blog as is and just make mostly new posts on Twitter. But yeah, starting today I will no longer be making posts or reblogs on Tumblr.
If you don’t know or remember, I made a post about this in December. After loosing some friends due to the toxic communities and fanbases, and many respected artists getting accounts terminated because of the Purge, I’ve gotten tired of Tumblr’s bullcrap and decided to focus on my Twitter and Ko-fi accounts. Maybe I’ll even get more active again on Deviant Art (but not so much as I’ve had issues with them for years) and even Patreon (never really got active on it but over the last few months there have been problems with them terminating accounts for no reason, but we’ll see how they fare).
So if you want to chat with me, commission me, or continue to follow me, go to my Twitter and follow me on there. If you want to support me but don’t want to spend a lot of money on commissions, go to my Ko-fi and support my art.
One more note: I’m not abandoning Tumblr entirely as many artists I admire and follow still have their accounts here but do not post on Twitter so I will continue to watch them through here. Same with most zines, unless they have a Twitter page. But I will not respond to asks, commission requests or personal messages.
Article 13 is going into it’s final stages of voting.
If this gets through, it will allow many, many companies to abuse and misuse this article to take down as many memes, fan works, and even other independent creators on sites like YouTube, Facebook, and other websites INCLUDING Tumblr.
THE FAIR USE LAW AND SAFEHARBOR LAW WILL NO LONGER APPLY IN THE U.S OR IN OTHER COUNTRIES.
IT HAS ALREADY PASSED IN SEVERAL OTHER COUNTRIES.
WE CANNOT ALLOW THEM TO TAKE AWAY WHAT WE BUILT FOR THE INTERNET SO FAR.
So here is what you need to do to drag this article down.
1. Spread the word
I can’t stress this enough. The more attention this gets the more people we can get to take this down.
2. Make your own content
Make your own content on the matter and make sure it is clear to others that Article 13 is bad for every internet user involved.
3. If you live anywhere in Europe, contact your MEPs
Ask them if they approve of the article and why. If they do approve of it, try to convince them in a clear, reasonable, and most sensible way possible that this law is BAD.
The article itself is way to vague about what it’s conveying to its people.
Saying that as long as the use of said internet memes or content is good as long as it’s in “good faith.”
We cannot let some shoddy government tell us what we can and cannot post.
FREE SPEECH IS A HUMAN RIGHT. NOT A PRIVILEGE.
Here’s a video on Article 13 that Film Theory made on the matter. It will explain things better than I can.
