Nymphie, Isis, and NSFW works
5 years ago
General
1.) Almost since she was created, I've been pretty cavalier about how Nymphie was used in NSFW artwork. That came from a few places: her mixed stance as both my sona and a separate character all in her own right; my own fairly lewd personality, polygamous nature, and desire for lewd content; and her initial lack of a concrete in-character relationship. (And even still, with the division between art Raina, Isis, and Distant, Nymphie still effectively fills a kind of author insert/sona role in the fictional reality in which she's a character.) That cavalier attitude is sommat that I actually came to regret a bit in a way, but it felt a bit like a door that once I opened, I wouldn't be able to shut. But it also didn't feel like it mattered as much at the time given how in flux her relationship status was.
But over the course, as they are want to do, Nymphie's story has evolved and grown. Inside the fictional universe in which they reside, Nymphie has been in committed romantic relationship with Nephthys for a while now, and that is a story that means a lot to me and is one that I truly want to honour. To that end, I'm taking Nymphie off the table for use in all romantic and/or NSFW art or stories that would pair her with anyone but Nephthys. I don't mind solo lewd work of her (that is, after all, a very big part of both mine and Nymphie's nature) and I will very likely commission some from time to time, but any paired romantic and/or NSFW artwork of Nymphie from here on out will be with Nephthys exclusively.
2.) Almost to the opposite extreme, I've been extremely guarded about how I present Isis and my art self. They are deeply and emphatically me. And, as noted, I am a very openly sexual and erotic person by nature. But I just really didn't want to feel like I made the same mistake with them that I made with Nymphie. That's led to this back and forth in my head; keeping them SFW felt like I was keeping them protected, but I also felt like I was denying myself in the process. Not just the opportunities for art, but an intrinsic part of who I am. I am intensely proud of my sex positivism and it is an undeniably strong part of my identity.
So, I have recently started dipping my toes into the NSFW waters with Isis. At the time of writing this I haven't received the commissions back, but I do have some arranged. For the time being this is experimental and they are all solo commissions. Additionally, while don't have NSFW pieces for art Raina planned at current nor am I certain that I intend to, I may someday elect to. So all that said and given how I've been with Nymphie up until now, I feel like it is sommat that I need to state clearly:
I DO NOT want art Raina, Isis, or Distant to be used in NSFW art or stories without my explicit permission. It is not my current intention to allow any of them to paired with other characters or sonas in NSFW artwork or stories. That may change eventually, but if it does it will be by my choice only.
3.) None of this is to say that I'm adverse to getting NSFW art with others. I love, love, love getting NSFW art and I have a variety of characters that I'm happy and even eager to get lewd art for and will happily offer up for that purpose. Simply not Nymphie, art Raina, Isis, or Distant.
