This Is An Awesome Story. Don't Give Up Practicing Your Art, AI Could NEVER Match It.

This morning I was made aware that one of my readers sent a link to one of my fanfics to another tumblr user, requesting them to make a character AI bot based on it. That user did it.

Please don't do that. Please don't put my works into AI, please don't send other people my works for them to put into AI.

It broke my heart because this story is very precious to me. Many of you loved it and I've spent entire evenings discussing it with you, answering asks and messages about it.

If you loved that story and want more, please send an ask. You may ask questions, headcanons, once someone even asked me to rewrite a paragraph from another point of view as part of an ask game.

Please interact with your fandom creators instead of feeding their works to AI.

How to turn off AI Training of your content on Web and Mobile:

On a Web Browser:

I had some trouble finding this option. My first instinct was to click the settings button on the left, but that's where it is!

First, you'll click the name of your blog on the left sidebar to bring it up on your browser.

Then click "Blog settings" on the right sidebar once your blog is brought up. That's where they're hiding it.

Click "Prevent Third-Party Sharing" under the Visibility section, and bam! You're done.

On Mobile:

Thankfully it's much easier on mobile. Just click the Gear icon on your blog's page, to go to settings.

Scroll all the way down until you see Visibility, then toggle the Prevent third-party sharing option for your blog!!

If you disable this setting on mobile, it automatically synced it to my web browser settings, too. ...But if you use both Web and Mobile, I would still highly recommend double checking that it actually turned off on both!!

Check that it's turned off on your side blogs too! And check your settings every now and then anyway to ensure that it's staying turned off, because if my memory serves right, some other websites will pull some shenanigans on things like this and opt you back in without telling you!

Leave Feedback on New Features at Tumblr Support Here!! Let Staff know however we can that having our content fed to AI at their whim is unacceptable.

And if you have the option to poison your art with Nightshade or Glaze, keep it up!!

let's talk about the old abysstale

I've said it before and I'll say it again, just because the old version of Abysstale is canceled doesn't mean it has to be a part of it.

I know this was my first Undertale fan comic since Undertale started a long time ago.

I didn't like the old Abysstale because it was messy, disorganized, and make no sense.

I said that the old Abysstale and the new Abysstale are not the same thing, that is, separate.

I made a mistake by saying that wasn't very clear.

What I mean is that the new Abysstale is a remake of the old Abysstale. Something that was supposed to make more sense of the story and characters.

Which means you shouldn't take the old version of Abysstale seriously, as if it were part of it. It isn't.

I've seen people downloads my old version of Abysstale to another site without my permission. I'm not okay with that.

I understand that you want people to see the first old version of Abysstale.

But at the end of the day, I'm still the creator of old and new Abysstale comics.

I've deleted all the pages from the old version was because it can create more confusion and people who don't know much about it might take this story seriously and then be more confused about the story suddenly becoming different from the other version.

You can still enjoy the old version of Abysstale. But keep in mind that the old Abysstale shouldn't be taken as canon. New Abysstale is the canon story.

Hello! This is not a question but- I feel like you should take some time to just relax and get your stuff together, I know is easy to say than do. but as long as you feel like you need to share something there might always be someone that would listen to what you want and have to say, like when you vent through posts, people will read it, and be there, and sometimes just leave you a like, but like, is good for you that you do that, it takes a little pressure off your mind when you share stuff like that, knowing that someone saw it and read of it, like listening, even if is through a screen. Idk where I'm trying to go here but I just wanted to let you know that there's your followers that do care about what you have to say and share, that's literally why they're here, Why we are here for. just please remember to take your time, if there's something you must do first before posting or working on what you want to do, do that first so then you have free time to work on what you like. And remember to take care of yourself, put your stuff together, take a deep breath, drink water, a little rest from everything. Love you, buddy.

Too much kindness I don’t deserve

It’s weird thinking people actually read my posts- i usually don’t think they do and I just put it out there for no reason. But it’s nice.

I genuinely do wish I could just share everything I’ve been through (wow very internet safe). But I’m really scared of people saying it’s unbelievable and way too much to be real. So I just put my trauma in all my characters- one traumatic experience per character each makes it believable. And the idea people will like my characters and believe the characters feels authentic enough for me ig.

But aside from that, knowing people like you care about whatever I say is validating to me. Thank you. My biggest fear is people not caring or believing me.

I'm debating on posting a wiki about a Sans Au I created. It's the only wiki I have rn on any of my Sanses. I'll probably come back and link it here sometime. Which means I have to check Amino again. I find myself not very active on it, but I may use it to create wikis. I'll probably end up moving the wiki over here- and just post it, maybe info dump too.

Fellas, fellas

Why on earth are you BUYING PHYSICAL HARDBOUND COPIES OF FANFICTION????

ACTUALLY WHY ARE YOU EVEN MAKING HARDBOUND COPIES OF FANFICTION TO SELL?!?!?!

IF ANY OF YOU DO EITHER OF THESE THINGS, GET OUT!! I AM NEVER SPEAKING TO YOU AGAIN.

In all seriousness though, authors on AO3 have begun to pull their works off of the site to avoid getting sued by people stealing their works to make a pretty bound book for profit. Entire accounts could be shut down as well.

Listen, I’m all for saving favorite works by printing them out and putting them in a binder, or learning how to make a book for a fanfic, but seeking them is where I draw the line.

Literally the entire point of AO3 is that you can read it FOR FREE.

It is DISRESPECTFUL for people to make money off of hardbound copies because guess what, the original creators of these fics get nothing. We are literally only writing fanfiction for our own pleasure.

Buying and selling book-bound fanfiction is also ILLEGAL YOU DUMB SHITS. It’s an immediate violation of copyright law. The original fan work will get erased from the internet.

Fanfiction is already a legal grey zone since they are works being written about are protected by copyright. Copyright holders can in fact go after writers as well as the person who sold the fanfiction.

This also goes for people who steal fanart and, claim it as theirs, and put a price on it.

Don’t make it worse.

Bookbinding fanfiction for profit is literally ruining things for everyone. DON’T.

Artists, how did you get to drawing digitally? I used to be good at drawing (though only from reference) but I can't draw for shit on a phone/tablet/laptop.

I've been thinking about going back into drawing again, I haven't for many years. Idk if I'd still be good. But if I am, I'd love to try my hand at some fanart

How do you make links to your previous and next posts? I can't seem to find any tutoriels for that. Also here, a cookie 🍪 for troubling you.

Oh well that's easy! ( ´∀｀)

Copy the link to the post you want to use;

Highlight the word in the new post where you want to insert the link;

Click on the link icon and paste! It should become underlined ☆

I hope it'll help! Thank you <3

I can whole heartily agree to this. You aren't alone on that. As something I dealt with myself, it's a horrible feeling. Just know your followers are there for you, as well as me.

I wish I had the entertaining ADHD that people think people with ADHD have and not the catastrophically fucking bad with deadlines ADHD that makes me scream internally while doing nothing
