called the visa uk helpline abt the stuff going on and they read a script out demanding I reach out by email, then hung up on me & blocked my number so I can't call back. dude.

Dropping in again from the ether to say: sita & dtiger are now (permanently) free on itch! they're still password protected for now (password = "oopsie") 🫡

oops I meant *file, not pay (or i guess specifically, report my earnings from itch). the threshold for actually needing to Pay taxes for this is significantly higher than the one for just needing to report them 😅

p.s. hi im not dead i just haven't been able to make art for a long time u__u

accidentally told my parents id made enough money selling comics on itch that id need to pay U.S. taxes this year and my parents know my art username so anyways AAAUUUGHGHGHG

my itch comics are temporarily password protected (password is "oopsie")

💖 yeah!! the tender vibes

sketch, same idea: diff angle i couldn't figure out limb placement on

💀🧸🎀

omfg thank god for the automod again, I gotta get used to flagging these as adult

soft, soft, warm

giggles

u kno im always thinkin bout seastone 👀

hmm actually... still figuring stuff out here. I might post things separately later since it would look nicer 🤔

oh i forgot to apply an adult label to this one and it got automoderated!! that's good to know that happens

misc zolu doodle comics (2023)

some 2023 zoro and luffy pinups

like, compared to before, where it felt like u could meet people on tumblr and chat w them. now things feel more quiet, unless ur in specific niches...?

yeah it's really weird to realize how impermanent everything is. like....I just saved all my twitter likes to my computer in case accounts start going down 😓

re:tumblr: ur not missing out on much w it imo, if it doesn't feel right 2 u then 🤷‍♂️ no need to force it. fandom spaces are way quieter

i have GOT to give zoro his swag back

oh lol i guess i said about the same thing before re:communities... the drawbacks of coming back to a convo later

them anymore is always really sad ): esp if they don't end up going to a new website at all (i never did end up finding some of my fav tumblr porn blogs again)
this website scattering stuff really does break apart communities :/

however much u wanna convert over to new websites is ur own personal journey. i'm still on tumblr 4ever even tho i can't host my porn account there anymore. and i think i'll still have my main twitter account for interacting w friends n stuff. but the stuff w other ppl jumping ship n not seeing..

yeah i think if they get taken out of the app stores / limited in countries like canada, that's the main route to reversing this decision. But. oof. 100% agreed, i hate hate hate moving websites and leaving communities behind 😭 it's not fair!!

AUGH maaan old tumblr was so GOOD!!!!

things here still feel kinda dead compared to twitter. I do hope more people make the migration!! but yeah it's def nice to have another potential website where i can throw my art out in to the wild -- i guess the other option would be messaging u personally every time i draw a penis askdasdhas

it's kinda hard to tell if this exodus is gonna stick. It feels likely that the thing w blocking is gonna be reverted in a few months (if not sooner), which is gonna have a lot of people staying at twitter for the convenience of it all. but....who tf knows

I guess I could ALWAYS post an image, even if unrelated, with 100% of my posts, so that I could flag them all. but that would make the media tab sorta useless

I'm seeing that you can flag media posts as being nsfw, but can't flag text posts, which means that my text posts would still easily viewable / show up in searches for ppl between 13-17 (which is.....not really ideal, as a porn blog that talks about porn)

okay so, sanity check: is there no way on bsky to flag my account as nsfw / 18+ to automatically prevent ppl who have entered a younger age on their account from seeing / searching my blog?

oh hey didn't kno u had a bsky too!! 👋

Alright, new blog! gonna look to import my whole zolu gallery here at some point & figure out how this whole posting thing works 💪
