New Beginning's After Tumblr
6 years ago
Hey y'all, Fuze here.
I know it's been a sparse few weeks since the fall of Tumblr and all the drama surrounding that. In terms of me, I don't really plan on posting there since it's blurred my icon out and most of my stuff has been rendered invisible. Plus most of my followers also left the platform so it's hard to justify my continued use of the site after all that. Like 75% of my work is suggestive at least, so it would be very stripped down anyway.
Now, I've got two things to figure out. 1) Where am I going to post my daily picture posts? 2) What do I do with the Tumblr archive of pictures, spanning at least 5 years of content?
For my daily posts I'm looking to use Twitter as a temporary measure, but it's not really built as an archive platform, but FA feels a bit too formal for some of my more simple pictures that I do. There are other sites, but I haven't done any research into them, like Newgrounds, AO3, and Weasyl. What I may do is start trying to use my FA more, and utilizing the scraps folder a bit more for some of my more simple pieces and save the main gallery for my bigger projects and image series.
The other thing is what to do with my zip file of all my Tumblr posts. I've set up a zip file for download, but due to circumstances, I'll give the link out for 1.5 gigs of old art once the new year comes around. I'll try and upload some of the favorites to this and other sites in a sort of "throwback thursday" kind of thing, but I don't want to upload old art all the time, even if it's not readily available.
As of this month and holiday season, I've been in a slump of unfinished projects and distractions (thanks smash), so my output has been less than stellar. I do have some projects in the pipeline, but my policy is to not release project/image series half finished, which is why even though I've been working a lot, I haven't exactly been publishing as much as you'd think. Hopefully I'll get over this funk and start completing projects and image series and posting them in a more consistent manner like I used to.
While I'm not streaming over this holiday, due to not having the privacy/internet connection while I'm away, I do plan to continue streaming on a regular basis, about 8 pm cst every night till midnight. Though recently they've been more like gaming streams, it's usually pretty fun for stream viewers from what I hear. Give a follow at https://picarto.tv/FuzeStuff if you haven't already.

It's a weird transition period for me, but I'm hoping you're still into what I'm giving and that I am still planning on making some pretty neat and hot stuff in the future.

I hope you post all your old tumblr pics either here or on inkbunny. It would be a shame if they got lost forever.
