Yeah, this is pretty miserable news. Not sure if I'll keep posting here, but I'll let the dust settle for now.

I'll be privating most of my old art and glazing/watermarking the rest. Unfortunately since glazing a single piece takes upwards of 2 hours for me, that means most of my old art will be privated or deleted.

You can find me under @eristhenat on most platforms, but here's some links: Twitter

Hi, Tumblr. It’s Tumblr. We’re working on some things that we want to share with you. 

AI companies are acquiring content across the internet for a variety of purposes in all sorts of ways. There are currently very few regulations giving individuals control over how their content is used by AI platforms. Proposed regulations around the world, like the European Union’s AI Act, would give individuals more control over whether and how their content is utilized by this emerging technology. We support this right regardless of geographic location, so we’re releasing a toggle to opt out of sharing content from your public blogs with third parties, including AI platforms that use this content for model training. We’re also working with partners to ensure you have as much control as possible regarding what content is used.

Here are the important details:

We already discourage AI crawlers from gathering content from Tumblr and will continue to do so, save for those with which we partner. 

We want to represent all of you on Tumblr and ensure that protections are in place for how your content is used. We are committed to making sure our partners respect those decisions.

To opt out of sharing your public blogs’ content with third parties, visit each of your public blogs’ blog settings via the web interface and toggle on the “Prevent third-party sharing” option. 

For instructions on how to opt out using the latest version of the app, please visit this Help Center doc. 

Please note: If you’ve already chosen to discourage search crawling of your blog in your settings, we’ve automatically enabled the “Prevent third-party sharing” option.

If you have concerns, please read through the Help Center doc linked above and contact us via Support if you still have questions.

is it okay to use your art in edits? (I'll give credits!)

Hello, thank you very much for asking permission! I'm afraid this isn't something I can give a blanket statement/permission for, but if you message me directly (not on anon) and give more exact details of what you'd like to do with my art, I can review it and let you know. :)

I would love to see Sukuna in your style, of course, only if you are comfortable drawing him. 😍

For you, anon! This was fun :)c

Top 5 music genres

Gonna put these with recommendations from this year 'cause I love sharing music 😅

Electronic (Fable - Mako)

Classical/Soundtrack (すずめの戸締まり - Various)

Rock/Metal (Nothing is True and Everything is Possible - Enter Shikari)

Indie/Alternative (Exuvium - Crywolf)

Pop, J-Pop (BIPOLAR - Tatsuya Kitani)

No idea how to classify this album but I want to recommend it anyway (我用什么把你留住 - 福禄寿)

There's a whole load of crossover in genres in these albums so hopefully these are kind of close! According to spotify my top Genre was 'Video Game' but I think this is because I curate all of our D&D playlists...

Top five art mediums??

Digital (Photoshop/CSP) - this one is obvious 😅

Animation (2d/hand drawn) - love watching it and making it even though I'm still a total beginner

Miniatures - I love making little habitats, I'm blaming Lord of the Rings for this...

Writing - I have a few Very Long fanfics locked away

Cooking - I love making/eating food!

What are your top 5 snacks/treats?

Fresh Strawberries

Milky Stars

Bubble/Milk Tea

Matcha Latte

Patisserie Fruit Tart....

All of these make me fall victim to the cravings 😩
