UM GUYS. I JUST NOTICED A CRAZY ISSUE W THE TUMBLR UPDATE.

YOU CAN SEE THE ICONS OF ANONS SOMETIMES.

The way I was able to recognize several anons in one of my inboxes bc of this error. Oh my god. Guys. This isn’t supposed to happen.

Weighing in to say:

YES, I SEE THIS ON MOBILE. HOWEVER I DO **NOT** THINK IT'S SHOWING THE ANON'S REAL IDENTITY.

The profile pictures I see next to anon asks are profile pictures that belong to other, non-anon asks in my ask box also. Some info

I think the bug is the inbox INCORRECTLY attributing anons to neighboring, logged-in asks.

Which is still a bad bug! Considering it makes it look like a long-time follower of mine sent me a spam ask.

And is worse if, say, one of these was anon hate.

But it's NOT the anon's real identity. It's a neighboring ask asker's identity

So if you have anon hate in your inbox that looks like it's attributed to your dear friend, who sends you lovely asks all the time, it was Not them.

CONFIRMED THE BUG IS INCORRECT ATTRIBUTION.

Thanks @thepatchycat for being a test subject. As you can see the icon being attributed to this ask is NOT the patchy cat

The pictured icon belongs to @watchingforcomets who sent me a nice ask about nail polish yesterday which I have not yet answered!

hey everyone be careful

I don't know if anyone has talked about this, but lately this has been happening in other fandoms too. There'll be these bot accounts that straight up steals people's posts and adds "expand" "read more" "continue" as a link in the end of the post - DON'T CLICK ON THAT, it's most likely a malware or something of the like.

so if you see a post like this: no profile picture, something that looks reposted (I've seen this happening to artists too) and a link at the end, even if the post has tags, that's a bot. Block and report it.

stay safe, and I hope @staff finds a way to stop these bots soon!

If you really look at it, that placement doesn't actually make sense for what a "read more" looks like either way. Before you click on a read more, make sure that it looks right.

The placement of the hyperlink doesn't make sense and usually the "read more" words are in their own separate line.

It appears this is the new bot attempted takeover because I just nuked one taking my art. Don’t click mystery links

I Drew Your Fakemon For 1000 Subscribers

Hey everyone, I know it's going to be a busy day for a lot of people, but Google enrolled everyone over 18 into their AI program automatically.

If you have a google account, first go to gemini.google.com/extensions and turn everything off.

Then you need to go to myactivity.google.com/product/gemini and turn off all Gemini activity tracking. You do have to do them in that order to make sure it works.

Honestly, I'm not sure how long this will last, but this should keep Gemini off your projects for a bit.

I saw this over on bluesky and figured it would be good to spread on here. It only takes a few minutes to do.

Just a super quick tutorial.

@scarffles sprite challenge ?

Just updated my Ko-Fi!

I noticed that I was starting to run out of space on my computer's hard drive. So I'm purging some of my older art from my files and putting them up for sale as adoptables!

More will be added tomorrow as I sort through my files!

More designs have been added! Here's what's currently still in-stock:

Bathybomb and Sudmarine for the Kohop Region

Earlier this year I joined @xeeble's Kohop Region project. Its original intent was to bring together fakemon artists to each make one or more monster designs based on an already existing set of prompts laid out by xeeble themselves, themed around the deep ocean. There was a vague idea that it would all get finished by the end of the year and would be published as a digital zine. Obviously this has not yet come to pass due to unfulfilled prompts, people leaving the project, and social media turning evil, amongst other reasons.

I've decided to post my designs here now because this is essentially my portfolio and I was planning to put them here anyway. I have no idea if/when the project will be made public but there are several great designs in there which you can look forward to seeing.

Bathybomb and Sudmarine were designed around the prompt of 'bathyspheres and submarines'. My early concept art had more to do with cats and fishbowls but a lot of people seemed to be drawing cats so I settled on the idea of bath bomb sauropod larvacean pokeball mimics instead. Naturally.
