Log Date 6-1-23: FA Policy Changes and thoughts
2 years ago
General
Howdy there, friend,
>>>Tl;dr, New FA Policy is gonna hit my gallery hard, if you wanna keep up with my art elsewhere links will be at the bottom!!!<<<
It's been quite a month, lots of things happening in my life that may be signs things are gonna be changing a lot; To start, my shitty co-worker finally pushed my patience well over their limit so I called her constant bluffs and told her to go fuck herself. Not only cathartic but also didn't get written up for it either, so that's a plus.
However, they STILL refuse to do anything about her or my issues with her and as a bonus they've been fucking my schedule up royally so to save what little of my sanity is left I'm highly considering leaving that place for good. The only unfortunate part is I have frankly no-where else to go.
But obviously that's not the only big change to happen...
So... those new FA Policies, huh?
Yeah, I'm not a big fan of them or any of the surrounding controversy; I've spent almost 8 years on this site drawing things I enjoy, and managed to slowly carve out a comparatively small following that I am blessed enough to call my own, and a large part of that success has been because of Pokemon smut, ESPECIALLY Riolus!
Riolu has been my favorite 'Mon for the longest time, and I've been drawing them since I started; You almost can't scroll through my gallery without seeing at LEAST one Riolu per page, sfw or nsfw. And now I'm faced with the decision between erasing a massive chunk of my legacy because of some half-baked, hypocritical site-changes, or seeing the whole thing potentially cast to the void, never to be heard from again...
So, as much as it kills me to have to do it, my Pokemon-related smut, as well as any other potentially problematic art will likely no longer be available on this page come the end of June.
It'll be available elsewhere in time; e621 still has a good portion of it, and I've been looking into other art-hosting sites to set up shop as well; Itaku and Weasyl being two candidates. On top of that my Official Terysium/Silvrsterlng Discord will also still be a general hub for my work as well, so it's not like this policy change will get rid of me for good, but it's definitely hit my motivation hard.
The future is very uncertain right now, and while not as catastrophic as I've dealt with already, I'm not looking forward to all the change happening, but I just gotta remain hopeful things will turn out alright in the end.

Maybe I'll return to uploading there but I don't have any plans for it currently.
