[16] Thumbnails and Four-Account System
4 years ago
02/07/2021:
This four-account system is kinda inspired by how some artists divide their content between accounts in order to separate audiences that might be uncomfortable with eachother’s interests, but a bit more precise. This is meant to both facilitate my potential watchers AND maybe help me reach audiences in a better way. At least I think it might help with that. Other than what the normal division that people do, this four-account system is also meant to cater to those who like everything (such as me), and might be a bit inconvenienced by having to bounce between two accounts. So something for everyone.
I don’t actually know if posting the same drawings to more than one account is discouraged or not, but I couldn’t find anything in regards to that in the rules.
Well, while there are many ways that content can be divided, I feel like this system is the most intuitive, separating grossness from clean things and mundane stuff from weird and bizarre. Again, here is my content breakdown. Because I do a lot of different things, I couldn’t really fit any more divisions, or else things would become absurd.
The two BOTTOMaccounts EXCLUDE weird/bizarre content, ONLY posting mundane things. The bottom-left still posts dirty things that aren’t weird/bizarre.
The two RIGHT accounts EXCLUDE dirty, gross or unhygienic content, only. The top-right still posts weird things that aren’t dirty or gross.
The TOP-LEFT account is the main one, where EVERYTHING gets posted.
The TOP-RIGHT is for clean things that are weird, bizarre or absurd but that are NOT gross or unclean.
The BOTTOM-LEFT is for mundane things that are dirty, gross or unclean but that are NOT weird or bizarre.
The BOTTOM-RIGHT account excludes both the weird/bizarre and the gross/unclean, only posting content that is more tame.
I picked these divisions because they seemed the most intuitive and helpful, but if people think there are better divisions, I might consider changing it, if it really matters.
My reasoning is that these are not only divisions that people care about, but also divisions that encompass a lot of different things which likely cater to the same individuals. I’m going mostly by how my brain groups concepts together, true, but there is some external guidance from things I’ve seen before. The grossness division seems to be somewhat common, for instance, especially when it comes to things like scat. The weirdness one needs to be explained better, but in the past I’ve noticed that some people really care about things like cunnymouths or very big labia, so I can use things on the realms of that as a starting point.
I would also take aggressive things into account if I had to, such as gore, blood or violence. But I really don’t do these, so I don’t feel the need to even consider that.
I guess it helps to explain what I consider to go into each.
•For grossness, it is mostly focused on things that are unhygienic, unclean, disgusting or messy in a dirty way (excluding things like excessive semen). So the typical separation that people do with scat goes in these, as well as unwashed fetishes, things involving smells or really repulsive and ugly anatomy. One are where I expect conflict is urine, since I actually see urine as relatively clean (I will debate this and die on this hill), unless it’s very messy soaking, dry urine or urine that has been soaked for a while.
•Now for weirdness, it involves things that are bizarre, surreal or absurd, but that are not necessarily gross. This can involve things like hyper, expansions, body reshaping (stretching, flattening, clay), transformations, unusual anatomy and so on. Things that would definitely make someone who is more vanilla flinch a bit, even if still perfectly hygienic or trying to remain cute and appealing.
There are some edge cases that can cause issues of course, and when in doubt I will only post them on the main account, since it’s supposed to have everything in it. This could include things like musky anal vore, which is really both weird and unclean, as well as others such as strong teratophilia, which can be very bizarre but so much so to the point of being unappealing or disgusting.
I hope that my division can resonate with people, but I’m okay with changing it if people are certain of a better way. I just hope it’s caught very early on, because I won’t delete and repost drawings once they’re already in the account. I can imagine something like diapers, ABDL or babyfur stuff could be one, since I’ve seen people care about that, but even grouping those together is still a bit narrow, compared to everything that I can have. Adding another division would up the account number to 8, I think, and it would keep doubling each time.
And I know some people use their scraps for this separations and I thought about this too, but due to how my finished-unfinished drawing workflow works, I need my scraps to post unfinished work.
This system of four accounts should also help with how I don’t feel like doing the thumbnail censorship thing. I personally don’t have much against that, and it has helped me in the past, with the only thing that I can really say against it being that it does make it a bit difficult to eyeball specific pieces if you’re looking for them. That said, having to crop things in a special way that both conveys the vibes of the drawing while hiding the controversial fetish is something that might upset my workflow a bit. I’m a bit of a perfectionist, so I would definitely stress over how to do it properly for every single drawing.
I hope that instead of having to make censored thumbnails, I can take the easy path of just letting it auto-generate, and rely on the four-account system instead.
If people get too upset, I’ll put in the effort to censor thumbnails, but for now, I’d rather use this four-account system.
15/01/2022: Since FA’s tag system is so… restricting. I’m going to be posting the full tags on description, and the actual site tags will be minimized to only have general things like “male” “female” “anthro” “cat” “wolf” and so on. Tagging will also probably be based on IB’s common tags, which people use, and only that, since I gave up on using my own system alongside the normal common tags. As of right now I’m still not ready but almost. Hopefully THIS TIME I can make promises I won’t break, and I won’t need to update or change this part of the journal anymore.
If anyone ever wondered what those hg_ag_nl_ml tags I’ve added in some drawings were, they are this system which I failed to talk about:

I’ll continue to use that.

FAIR WARNING: Because the entirety of my content cannot be posted here on FurAffinity, I have other accounts in other platforms where I have more content, but I only use this system here. Sure I can manage four accounts in one site. But if I’m asked to do it in three more sites then sorry but no. At least InkBunny has a very good blacklist system which can be used instead. Go to my profile for links to my other accounts.
Again, for a good idea of the type of content I draw, check here.
