Just an fyi to my followers who don't follow my Twitter & may not be on the up & up about me:

I work on Helluva Boss. I love both it & Hazbin Hotel, and don't believe the shit people constantly sling at Vivziepop.

Anything that was true, were either things from 10+ years ago, apologized for, taken out of context, or exaggerated to hell.

Edit: (nevermind, i didnt know this guy's history. my bad!) I highly recommend checking out Ayy Lmao's videos on YT regarding her controversies, as they're a neutral party & openly state when they believe Vivzie is in the wrong.

I know a lot of people on here openly hate Vivzie. So if you'd rather not follow me, I get it. But I highly recommend educating yourself to the fullest extent, instead of just believing randos who hate Vivzie & her work just for the sake of hating her.

just an addition: if you want context/info for any of the Viv drama, let me know & i'll find what i need to in order to debunk it if i'm able to.

in light of Ayy Lmao being an unreliable source (again, my bad. i didnt know about his own shit), here's some google docs regarding some addressed controversies about Viv:

in regards to the issue about the storyboarder being a 'rape fetishist', i want any adults to ask themselves something:

we all have our kinks. i know i do. do you let your kinks bleed into your work? do you have that little of a grip on your base desires? i can only imagine so, if you think the same of someone else without even knowing them.

People who’re trying to “This is just Tumblr” their way out of being informed about Palestine (re: a genocide) are so fucking weird. This is a social media. Thousands of dollars have been raised from people sharing information about Palestine on Tumblr. Just say you’re not saying anything bc you care more about your Tumblr blog aesthetic—or because you don’t want to put the effort into learning what’s happening. Like just own up to not giving a fuck

it’s so grotesque how we’re 6 months into an ongoing genocide & yet some people have the gal to go “I’m not political!!” Why are you trying to make it seem as impersonal as possible. This is not about politics. Lots of people on here aren’t polsci majors but they have the one and a half brain cells necessary to go “genocide bad.” Like the whole “this is too complex” thing needs to go already. It was reported as of a couple days ago that Palestinian deaths have surpassed 32,000—and that’s not counting those buried under rubble. Have some shame and humanity.

I guess it doesn’t really surprise me that a majority white website would have takes like this. The big unspoken thing on here is that a lot of people see “the Middle East” as one large entity, w no diversity or culture, and third-world fodder (Arabs) dying in it is just every other Sunday. A lot of people on here have to go out of their way—and struggle—to humanize Arabs. So of course it’s not their problem & it’s their blog & they get to post whatever they want on it. To them Arab lives mean less inherently.

Don’t know if I ship it, but I do want them to have as many scenes together as possible…

This is my favorite leap year quote. 

reblogging in honor of me realizing it’s a leap year

If any of you ever feel like what you're doing for Palestine isn't helping anything, I'll tell you right now it's helping me. I know it is fortifying all of us who have been in this fight for years to see so many people willing to speak up. It has never been like this before.

The tide has already turned. The fact that #free palestine will have new posts everyday, that helps me. It helps my mental health knowing that Palestinians are less alone now than ever.

Yesterday I read some verses from the Quran talking about how "the blame" is not with those who wish to help but cannot, but with those who CAN help and do not.

Truly I do not care if all you do for Palestine is post in that #free palestine everyday, that is still more than many people with the means to do even more would do.

We see you. We see you standing in solidarity with us and with Palestinians. We love you. Thank you.

I have to keep reminding myself that the point of collective action is that it's collective.

It's terrifying and demoralizing that nothing thus far has stopped or more than briefly paused the genocide.

But that's not a reason to stop trying.

If you can protest in person, do that.

If you can donate, do that.

If you can write your officials, do that.

If you can click once a day, do it here: https://arab.org/click-to-help/palestine/

And if all you can do is share, do that.

its official: tumblr is selling our data to Midjourney

we'd been hearing rumors about this for a bit but now its open and out there. some details from this article

it goes without saying, but if @staff goes through with this its going to be an utter shitshow and im all but certain the website will not survive it.

everyone go enable this immediately. you have to do this individually for each separate side-blog. i cannot believe staff didn’t inform us about this before implementing it

Israel does not even want a bird to be named after Palestine. Israel wants to erase Palestine. Erase it off the map. Erase all mentions of Palestine. They want nothing to remain.

Palestine Sunbird, by Ismail Shammout (2004)

got told at lunch "you feel like Tumblr Incarnate" and i had to tell them i've been here for 13 years and counting. i was here three years before dashcon happened. i saw the mishapocalypse. i survived the gigapause. i've been here longer than the shoelaces post. i've been here since it was hipsters versus fandom and i played both sides extensively by overdoing the sepia filters on everything and making my own flashing galaxy gif edits for my fandom posts. i'm every tumblr. it's all in me

Oh ancient one what wisdom do you hold?

This is some of the best social media advice (and advice for being a human among humans generally) I've ever seen.

All of this. For people asking how I've survived here for over 12 years...

So apparently KOSA (2024 edition) is getting either thrown out until next year or put into effect in six days.

Update that's going in the main post at the top: it has enough support to pass.

It failed the last two times because people were voting against it.

This time, KOSA has traction among the pro-LGBTQ parties. Because nobody is fucking calling their bullshit and screaming from the rooftops that calling it the "Kids Online Safety Act" is misleading.

Nothing much, only prevent any education on LGBTQIA+ (it's that stupid fucking argument about us grooming kids again), shut down nearly every fandom space on the internet, and make it required for most big tech companies to have your ID.

Want to have resources for kids to discover their identity readily available? Yes? Then fucking speak up against this stupid fucking bill.

Fandom spaces like Tumblr, Twitter (? I thought the MAGA assholes liked Musk?), Tiktok, Archive Of Our Own, and any other website that hosts fanfic or fanart? Either shut down permanently, forced to uproot to a different country and down for a while (best case scenario, and they likely won't be able to send any data, and therefore fanfics, to the US), or gutted so that you only get to put G rated cishet ships on there, if any shipping at all. How to avoid that? I've already said it: Call your fucking representatives.

Want to avoid the fucking dystopic task of being legally obligated to give big tech your government issue ID? Again, cause an uproar. Call your goddamned representatives.

So, for fuck's sake, any Americans that can impact this stupid fucking bill and see this? Do everything in your power to shut it down because you have until February twenty sixth (26th) to send this bill back to where it belongs.

And if you can't do that? Reblog, copy my tags, and boost the signal.

The end of online privacy

Now, this isn't something I usually post about from my silly goofy k1nk account (reminder to minors to not follow or scroll this acount).

But I have more followers on here than main, and this is extremely important. Like, scary shit.

This applies to everyone. If you're reading this? It's going to effect you.

I'm sure perhaps some of you have seen around about a this thing going around... KOSA, is one of the ways it's being referred to.

If this shit passes, lemme tell you...

It's all gone. No privacy.

They'll have your face, your name, your age, where you live.

You'll need an ID to use any US-based platform, even if you're NOT in the United States.

Instead of dooming, here's what you can do to stop this shit in it's tracks 👍

Here is a website where you can sign a letter just by filling out a form, (it takes less than 30 seconds) and where you can call reps.

I HIGHLY suggest leaving calls if you're able, and if you have phone shyness, do this after 6pm, since it will leave messages instead.

I'm shy, but I did it!

Here's another letter to sign, takes less than 20 seconds.

Here is a form you can fill out sharing how the social media has POSITIVELY effected you.

Share all of this with as many people as you can. Our safety, freedom, joy, and protection online is at risk more than ever.

(Here is the thread where I found all of this information.)

STAY SAFE!

Amongst some of the proposals for a second Trump Admin:

there's an app called "No Thanks" that scans barcodes and tells you whether a company supports israel or not if anyone is interested! it should be available on most app stores!

CEO of Tumblr, Matt Mullenweg, has started openly harassing tumblr users on other platforms. This dude is actually incredibly scary and malicious and should not be involved with this website going forward. Theres just no excuse for this behavior.

since he's deleting the tweets here are the screenshots (thx lankque on twitter for the screenshots)

it is worth noting that this is a severe violation of data protection laws and CAN and hopefully WILL result in a suit against him as well as tumblr

And I just got confirmation from a second ex-colleague that a deal with midjourney has been brewing since months ago. Not any extra details, just that's a real thing.

Shit, I don't see any way for this to happen that doesn't make it an apocalyptic event the size of the porn ban. Fuck.

Shit. This may be pure chance and coincidence, and it's not he is in a position to be able to talk about anything, but seeing prominent staff members announcing they are moving their original photography out of tumblr just two weeks ago seems a pretty significant cue of shit to be about to hit the fan.

I plan to return to posting this year, and my art may have a weird texture over it. I WILL be using Glaze and Nightshade for all of my work posted across social media. If they won't ask our consent, we take it with poison.

just as an addition: you can disagree with me on literally all of this and block me. that's your right.

but i have that right as well, and i exercise it freely & without remorse. it saves us all a headache.

if you want to have an actual debate w/ me on any of the issues about Viv (instead of trying to make a public 'gotcha'), feel free to invade my chat.

Experienced several previously undiscovered emotions today because my (conservative) mom said being gay is a choice because SHE likes women too but she simply chooses not to acknowledge it
