Sry, not sure if this is helpful at all or if I'm just rambling. I just don't want you to be too hard on yourself for something that is very difficult to control with how things are rn. They can get better, but it's gonna take all of us to do it

And I think at some point, that can't all fall on you to uplift every trans artist ever at the risk of your mental health. Some of what needs to happen is more of a cultural shift in online spaces, and maybe directing ppl to tools to build communities of their own, you know?
But I also think some of that lack of engagement is mutual, you know? A big thing I've noticed in artists that pop off is they tend to work with others a lot, they talk to other artists, they make fanart of OCs as gifts. Posting and ghosting will only encourage ppl to engage but so much
Yeah, and it's hard to say entirely why that is. Comments and engagement w/art overall (nsfw esp) is down on every platform, even for art w/more mainstream appeal. Sometimes ppl are shy, or art has become a commodity to them, or in some cases I have friends scared of outing themselves on socials
I still don't entirely know what the answer is besides honesty, which you're already doing. But you shouldn't beat yourself up about all this at all. You already support so many people as is, it doesn't all have to fall on you.
At some point I was nervous about engaging with anyone ever bc I thought my friends would see that and think I was ignoring their work. Which, I kind of was, but only bc I couldn't do it healthily. I only have like a tiny platform but I still felt pressure, I can't imagine how much you must feel
You're totally fine and you shouldn't feel bad about protecting your peace!
I have my own hangups that I tried to bully myself through bc I had friends making stuff that I wanted to support but it really messed me up to try. It made me incredibly anxious all the time and I got real avoidant. No fun
For sure! That sort of thing would be really helpful, esp with the platform being relatively new.
Would love to see it grow, that sort of tagging system it uses is what I wish every site had tbh. Being able to put granular tags for content filtering is really great
But the nsfw subs I've seen so far have been really chill! And you can also just post on your personal profile if you want to just have stuff available somewhere you can link to.
My only annoyance so far is my username/pfp is stuck at default when I comment anywhere bc my account is nfsw. Lame.
Yeah, that was my fear too, but I think the meanness might vary based on subreddit. And I wouldn't want to even post my work in my actual fandoms subreddit, even tho they allow nsfw, because the audience is just so different and I don't think they'd appreciate it, lol.
For fanwork, images.squidge has been working well! But yeah, beyond that, I'm not entirely sure, there's just some random image hosts floating around. Reddit might be one of the few other socials that allow it, I've started trying to post there a bit with DCS talking about it.
Yeah I might want to get back into archiving stuff on there, bc I do love the tag system.
I've been using ao3/squidge for archiving nsfw art as well, but those are more for fandom work, and ao3 doesn't have image hosting by itself. Feels like NSFW img hosting is held up with hot glue and dreams.
1996: we had to hack into the PS1 hardware to leverage it's 2MB of RAM for fast memory swapping from the disc, something even Sony didn't know they could do
Today: Lol idc if this game isn't optimized for your PC, buy a more expensive one, peasant. Also it's a 500GB install day 1. Also it's not fun
This has been a long time coming w a shift to "launch now fix later", but ppl have gotten so complacent. Back in the day devs were crazy limited and had to be creative in how much they could cram into any one program. Now games will melt high-end GPUs bc CEOs can't be fucked to fix a memory leak
Ugh, that explains a lot. This app glitches on me all the time.
I'm not an engineer but I did solo game-dev for a while, and vibe coding drives me nuts. For ppl that are learning, they're just. not learning. And ppl who were skilled programmers are getting hit with full on skill regression.
How have you liked pillowfort? I was using it for a sec before coming here but there was also a lot of jank and I struggled to find anyone to interact with there. I would like to see it get better tho, a tumblr-style tagging system helps so much with CWs.
One of my besties lives in Hungary and we hardly ever exchange messages that are a few words or even a single paragraph. They are old Victorian style letters through discord pretty much every time, only with little :D thrown in
some drawing advice that is very serious
It's a dark, quiet night as Sh'r'kon and Ry'denn rest on the ground below the starry skies. Ry'denn looks upward as Sh'r'kon looks over to him, his arm draped over his companion's stomach. "Anything pretty up there?" he asks him, innocently. With a small, playful smile on his face, Ry'denn looks towards the curious man.
Suddenly, Ry'denn holds him on top of him with an unshakably calm countenance, ready with a simple answer. "Yes." Held high towards the tears of Selune, a flustered Sh'r'kon looks down from above his """friend""", his lips clenched as his arms hold him up and steady. Ry'denn, who's entire form is shadowed by the Warrior of Evershriek, simply looks deeply into him, his hands sifting through Sh'r'kon's soft, wavy hair. There is something pretty up there. A view he dare not look away from.
Stargazing.

Thank you, I'm feeling a little better this morning after just grinding some of the work out last night. Might call off on Monday if I'm not needed so I can rest
Resting probably means draw smut for emotional regulation, but I should probably not overdo it unless I want my joints to revolt
Welp, work made me cry out of pure frustration today. Trying to tell my superior that the work they gave me was double everyone elses only to be sent a wall of links full of shit that didn't help. Not even a little. Still due by noon tomorrow.
I'll keep saying it: corporate is a scam. Don't do it.
Comic page Image 1:Shot showing the foot of a massive bed, with a long tail laid over the egde and snaked across the floor. Muffled moans and wet sounds fill the air. Martin: [Muffled] Jon...please I need... Image 2: Closeup of dragon! Jon's maw in their true form, their jaw open with sharp teeth and their long tongue pushing into something. Thankfully dragons don't use their tongue to speak. Jon: Don't try to speak with your mouth full, dear. Image 3: Closeup of Martin, his lips wrapped around the head of Jon's massive cock, saliva dripping down his chin. Jon: [thinking] Gods, he's still so tight. Has it really been so long since I've had him like this? Poor thing can hardly even fit me down his throat Image 4: camera pulls back to show that Martin is upside down, laid across Jon's stomach with his face next to their cock. Jon's tongue is buried in Martin's ass, stretching him open, with their claws wrapped around Martin's thighs to hold him up. M: O-okay, okay, that's good, love! I'm stretched plenty. I'm not gonna last much longer like this... J: Then we should take a break. If you're already too sore from my tongue then my cock won't be any kinder to you. Image 5: Martin is squirming against Jon's grip, and Jon looks a bit embarrassed. M: I mean I'm gonna faint before you can even stick it in! All the blood's gone to my head J: Oh. Right, erm, sorry. Image 6: Jon wraps their claws around Martin's waist and hoists him up. Martin makes a small shocked sound. Image 7: Jon plops Martin upright into their lap, with their cock held up against his stomach for comparison. Martin watches it with stunned silence, both very excited and likely a bit scared at the fact the thing is the length of half his torso. J: You went very quiet just now, little knight. Second thoughts? M: (thinking) Oh fuck. Did it get bigger?
Image 1: A full illustration of Martin being held aloft in Jon's lap, taking well over half the length of their cock as he's fucked absolutely senseless. Martin is moaning uncontrollably, jaw hung slack and dripping with sweat, and he cries out Jon's name when he comes. Jon looks fustered as well, their eyes shut tight as they hold Martin close with their claws and tail, growling and panting as they come as well, already spilling out of Martin's ass. Image 2: small thumbnail image of Jon and Martin laid exhausted in bed. Jon is back to their half-glamoured form, still dripping with come and fluids from their slit. Martin has already fallen asleep, also a complete mess with Jon's come pooling out of his ass and staining the linens. J: We can't β (yawn) go to sleep now, dear. S-still need toβ¦cleanβ¦zzz End

Chasing plot bunnies only makes it hotter when they finally get to fuck like rabbits
I know that lube & prep as a trope is so old hat and weβre all tired of it but you have GOT to think about lube & prep as top enrichment. Stimmy time. They love that hole let them play with it. Stop writing it like a chore before the fun part and start writing it like the fun part
This is true for most of the "boring" parts of a story. You prob wouldn't write them just washing dishes, but washing up while talking gives them things to do and keeps the plot moving
Prep is prime time for dirty talk, teasing, admiration, awkward moments. It tells u about their relationship
Thankfully it was one of those cheaper colleges meant for like 2 years to prep you for a larger university, but I just got a cheap associates degree and a bunch of weird stories and bounced. That's the real trick, all the weird stories and none of the crippling debt
Fun fact: I went to college with that guy. Always makes me laugh when I see this video again
Ou so pretty β€οΈ your clean lineart suits drawing dicks really well they look so pretty
I meant to comment earlier but coming back to say the tummy kiss is so damn good
