Updated look on my succubi-sona since I've gotten better at doing digital art. Aaaand look at this adorable little bean I'm carrying! My sweet little Orion.
Just some self-indulgent art and me showing off my improvement in digital art. I'm actually legit proud!
So I recently found out more infomation in regards to this. Check out this Twitter post:
From what I've read and talking with some friends about the matter is this:
Artists, we're more than likely screwed either way when it comes to the bullshit AI is. It's just another aspect that has become integrated into the Internet.
Migrating and blindly posting onto Bluesky and other common sites other artists may use would put us at risk.
Surprisingly, as much as Twitter/Xitter is a toxic cesspool it is, it is weirdly the safer option than other sites, simply because it is harder to scrap stuff for AI. With Twitter, you only have to deal with Grok. With other sites, who knows what you have to deal with.
It is annoying. VERY annoying. And frustrating. Because as artists, we work hard to hone our craft and skills and for AI to just swoop in and steal it and claim it as their's is pretty much a slap in the face, but... As it's been said many times "Welcome To The Internet".
The best we can do is try to stay safe, try to be our authentic selves and continue to put our blood, sweat and tears into our work. AI can copy us, but they could never, and never will be us. Our work has soul, our work shows our perfection and flaws, our work speaks for itself. Essentially, just keep fucking drawing.
Stay strong, everyone. We gotta do our best and stay DETERMINED and PERSEVERE!!
And to those AI "artists"...
I've seen people talk about things, such as "Glaze" and "Nightshade" as a means of making it harder for AI to try and take things from people's art. I've considered it because it would be a good "fuck you" to AI, but after chatting with some friends about this matter to better understand these programs and if it's legit, I've learned that while it may be good workaround to screw with AI, it'll most likely be a fruitless endeavor because it'll only be a matter of time to until AI finds a workaround on *that*.
If we truly wanted to make our voices heard, take action through legal representation, speak to local leaders—make it to where if people want to use AI, they follow proper rules and protocols that are deemed acceptable.
If you can't or don't feel like doing that, just focus on your art, grow your audience, make that money if you're trying to make a career outta it. Just know that your art is REAL art. Not AI.
So... With all these changes going on, I got a few things to say.
The new "Block" feature. I put quotes on that because with the new changes made, it is essentially useless. As it says, any accounts blocked will still be able to view your content, but won't be able to engage with them, such as leaving a comment or retweeting or anything. BUT if you truly want to protect your posts and limit who can see what, you can lock your account. But that means you won't be able to get more engagement or new followers.
This also means that NSFW artists/content creators who've blocked minors from seeing their content? Yeah, those minors are gonna have full access anyways and there us nothing we can do about it except maybe report them.
Any abusers/stalkers who like to keep tabs on your accounts? They can see, regardless of being blocked.
This has got to be a violation and Google Play and Apple App Store should put X on blast for it.
The second thing!!
If any of you have seen the tweet going around, there has been a recent change to the Terms of Service and will be effective come November 15th.
It'll let Twitter use your posts (images, videos, audio) to train their Grok AI. You can opt out, but come Novwmber 15th, you just automatically get opted back in.
I dunno about y'all, BUT I DO NOT CONSENT TO HAVING MY STUFF USED FOR AI PURPOSES!!
And if you feel the same, I have a suggestion:
I think that we, as artists and content creators, should unite together and nuke our Twitter/X accounts. I know it's a lot, especially those who have really put a lot of work into it, but would you really want to have all that hard work just be fed to an AI?
I say any and all content we have on Twitter should immediately be migrated over to other sites.
Bluesky is always nice and have no complaints so far and since these changes Twitter/X made, they've gain a huuuuuge amount of traffic.
Cora is another place I've been hearing about. I have no opinions about it so far, but did make an account. I've heard they're very anti-AI, so that's good!
Pillowfort could still be a go-to possibly. Hell, maybe even here on Tumblr since it's been getting active again!
We've got options! We can give one last fuck you to Elongated Muskrat to show what we think about his new changes! But that choice is ultimately up to you.
If you guys wanna follow me, my BlueSky account is here, but fair warning, I do post NSFW art on there.
Some photos I did as an ask submission for this awesome blog I follow on a different account.
Y'all, check out @a-v-j they are super awesome and love the shenanigans they do.
Averse belongs to @a-v-j
Julia belongs to me! :3
When someone that shouldn't be allowed to see your nsfw content lies about their age, how do you find out? I've had this thought for a while and feel like a lot of people do it which is disgusting.
That's the downside of taking people by their word online; you don't easily find out. You might never, and that's a risk most NSFW artists take.
If someone says they are above 18, you kind of have to hope that they actually are. Which sucks, a lot... But as long as websites and whatnot don't have foolproof ways of keeping minors out of NSFW spaces/accounts, then users of said websites and whatnot can't do anything more either. It's out of the users' hands, so blind faith it is. Innocent until proven otherwise. And when it is proven, it's a straight-up block and another chip taken off an artist's trust, sanity, and confidence.
Now, I'm not going to condemn minors (<- those above 12 years) from looking at NSFW stuff or even creating it. I'm no psychiatrist but I believe exploration of sexual topics is good. Heck, many adult artists have dabbled with NSFW stuff in their teen years; it's normal and minors shouldn't be guilt-tripped into thinking it's wrong or disgusting. As long as they don't interact with adults (and vice versa!) while exploring sexual topics and approach it all with caution, it should be okay. Like, always be careful about what and who you interact with, online and offline. Keep predators away from you by not going into these topics while you're still (legally and mentally) too young.
But invading NSFW spaces by lying about your age while you're a minor (aka below 18 years) is what is wrong in this situation. It doesn't just put yourself at risk; it also puts the artists/creators of the NSFW content you consume at risk. And this can be a very serious matter. If it comes to light that you (a minor) have been shown "pornography" by an adult (artist) and may have discussed it in detail too, they can get accused of grooming you, and/or get into actual legal trouble. It's a terrible risk that many minors don't take into account when they lie just to see some wiener or booba.
This is one of the main reasons why many NSFW artists say "hey, if you're below 18, stay the fuck away" or "If below 18, don't talk to me". It isn't a "think of the children!" situation but a "I don't want to get arrested/accused of terrible things because you lied" situation. If you're a minor, don't take these warnings personally but respect them instead.

So, uhh... TikTok was gone, but... Now it's back? So I guess I can post this now!
I've been meaning to upload this for a while, but apparently my body needed this thing called "sleep". I know, I know, ridiculous.
But hey! Look at this Snow Bunny Hat! I got inspiration from the Japanese Snow Bunnies you would sometimes see in anime and I thought it would make a cute hat! Best part is, the ears double as a scarf! Isn't that neat?
If there is enough interest, I will post this hat up in my store on my Ko-Fi page. I have a ton of different bunny hat designs and more and may post them on here. Feel free to leave a comment! I appreciate it and you guys!
Stay warm, everyone!
Spent most of my life as a human and even looked the part! But it turns out my ancestors got BUSY with monsters! I'm not just a human, but a succubi, dracolich, and siren all in one! Life is... Interesting. 💧
