Doing my best to keep it short n sweet in bullet point format.

- Old image I drew was taken down.
- Small group of individuals reported it, I didn't take it down.
- Individuals claiming it was problematic content and lying about source material having animal cruelty/animal in distress/animal abuse.
- Image I drew AND photo in the hunters thread it was based off of were SFW and not problematic, the image itself would fall under FA's "general" rating.
- Original photo was a game trail cam photo of a gravid doe walking through the forest at night.. That's it..
- Had it been what the individuals claim then my account would have likely been perma banned and had my account taken down.
- Image was likely taken down for technical reason under "Traced, Plagiarized, or Stolen Content" since it was more akin to a study/copy and I didn't get permission from the original owner.
- Alternate reason, might be something to do with linking the page it came from? I don't remember if I did because it was old and it's been taken down for a while now.
- The individuals were posting sketchy tor/onion links on my front page to "evidence" screenshots of my taken down image, acting like I'm trying to hide it after they're the ones who took it down.
- I'm going out of my way to make certain that literally everyone who might care about this non issue knows so that this non issue stops being an issue.
- Otherwise I would just ignore that it was taken down for now and mention it later when I'm set to fully come back to FA.
- I'll likely try emailing staff to figure out exactly why it was taken down because I wanna know.
- Regardless, it's a non issue and I'm literally not hiding the non problematic image I drew or its non problematic source material.


I 100% understand people not liking some of what I draw n finding it uncomfortable, but this isn't ok to do.
If it was removed for a technical reason then I can understand and don't have any issues with staff decision to remove it.
I'll likely do a 100% original image re-draw in the future just to make up for it.. But also cuz it seems like it would be extra fun to draw lol.
Also, if you wanna find the original image I have zero issues with it, feel free to find it if you want/can because I would still have it up if they didn't have it removed.
Just don't link it if you do go searching for it because it's possible you might get in trouble with FA?? idk honestly =w='

Hello, it's been a while!..
Haven't abandoned this account yet lol, I've just been away for a long while to focus on myself a whole bunch.
I don't know when I'll be back to posting, BUT I haven't stopped drawing stuff so I'll have a good number of interesting things to post whenever I finally do. ;3c

I've cleaned up my front page a bit and sorted out some other odds n ends for now, I don't know if I will be replying or getting back to anyone quite yet since I'm still not really "back" back.
I really just wanted to give an update and clean/organize a few things for the time being, BUT again I still plan to start posting and interacting again at some point in the future.

Also I want to quickly thank all the individuals who offered kind words when I wasn't doing so well and clearly having a bit of an extended episode lol frig. The medication I had JUST started at the time, combined with a lot of serious life issues I was having had me acting very off for the first while there and I've been doing much better since. I've removed the manic ramblings and depressing journals that I posted while I was fresh on new meds, with a clear mind reading back they felt socially inappropriate lol.

Regardless, I wanted to drop a quick update for those who were curious about what's happening/happened.
Thanks again, and I wish everyone reading this the best! =w= <3

A quick update about the previous quick update about the update I posted HERE... I'm aware this is getting silly.

-I'm holding off another week before I start dumping my backlog.
-I do not have the mental fortitude to go through the process of posting everything this weekend.
-I've been going through medication withdraw due to the negligence of my practitioner's failure to process the order. (Not the first time...)
-I'm not doing well and struggling, BUT I know where it's all coming from so I'm ok. For the moment I can't function so I'm not going to force myself to do shite if it's not imperative.

A short list of the things I'll post next weekend:
-A LATE "Feed the Birds Day" themed image.
-A LATE "Easter" themed image of Theon within the vein of the previous one I drew.
-And lastly a "DELTARUNE" themed image.

A quick update about the previous update I posted HERE!

-I couldn't post on the weekend.
-Big storm took out power on Saturday, it was only for a minute but the internet went down till late Sunday.
-I decided to wait till next weekend to start posting everything as I had planned for this past weekend.
-I have a curse that 98% of everything I try to do gets fugged over by people or forces that are outside of my control lul. TwT

-I’ll be back to posting on Saturdays starting next weekend.
-I’ve been finishing weekly images but not posting them so I have a backlog.
-I’ll be posting anywhere from 3-2 images each Saturday till I’m caught up on the days I’ve missed.

Short but brief information on why I was away!
I’ve been allowing subconscious negative emotions associated with bad events tied to this season affect my ability to function. I’m taking action to get back on track and get organized and efficient because it feels good and I want to be happy and not allow that shite to run me down through my own passive actions.

Heyo, I’m posting again! :0
I took time for myself and kept away from anything unnecessary that caused stress & other brain issues.
I’m happy with how hard I’ve been working on my self & life outside of FA and I’m happy with all the work I’ve accomplished so far. I still have a lot of work ahead of me but I know what I need to be doing right now and that's everything I need.


-Starting this weekend I’ll be posting a backlog of holiday event themed images I drew for the latter half of 2021. Some were finished but never posted, some were started but never finished till later. I still want to post these from last year so enjoy my horribly out of season holiday inflation nastiness! :0

-Next weekend I’ll post the NON holiday event themed inflation art I drew during my away time.

-After that I’m finishing up a few older images I never finished.


That’s my current plan of action, I’m waiting till I burn through this list before I post about other future plans I’m working on.
Questions and comments are welcome below! :0

Hey there! :0
From now on I will be uploading something every Saturday at around 11am est permitted nothing gets in the way.
I have a small list of old images I've previously started, along with a few yet to start things I'm finishing before I start taking commissions.
Once I get through my list of things to finish I will then announce when and how I will be taking commissions, so be ready for that if you're interested or have been waiting on it to happen!
During October I might have something fun planned for here, however I don't want it to get in the way of my schedule and commission plans so it may or may not happen.

---

I had been trying to stick to this schedule for a month and a bit ago but major events have stopped me from posting for two weekends, the weekend after I posted the shark week image and now this weekend. From now on the only things that are going to get in my way of posting during weekends are larger personal life obligations or events. It's the only thing that has been getting in the way so far since starting to post regularly, I've had a more than normal amount of large personal event based things spring up over the last month so my schedule should be more consistent after this weekend.

I feel confident in my plans and schedule I've set up, I'm excited to get started and to get things done! :0

Is this just the new fucking trend or something???
Like every fucking artist is deleting their entire gallery or just completely removing their accounts, is this just a thing everyone collectively decided to do now?

Sorry not sorry for breaking my usual demeanor but I'm genuinely upset and angry right now I hate this so much, can someone please explain what the fuck is going on? Like it's everyone all of a sudden!?
Before now it was still not great but I feel like very recently everyone has been destroying all their art and related accounts for no good reason?? Like seriously go check to see if notable or personal favorite artists of yours have deactivated their accounts or destroyed their galleries, you might be surprised and upset about what you find... Like it's genuinely shocking...

Sorry about the A-typical behavior, I try to put out a fun and exciting entertaining warm welcoming demeanor on here but this is a subject that really distresses and upsets me a lot.
I've been having a bad time recently and this is currently adding to it, I just needed to get something out of me right now and this is something that's upsetting me in this moment that I can get out...

That being said feel free to comment with opinions, I'm open to hearing whatever people think about this topic. I also want to know why it's gotten to be such a majorly prevalent thing as of recent so any insight on the topic is welcome.



OH and before anyone mentions it YES I am aware of that one onion archival access domain that gives you access to deleted or removed posts, regardless of whether or not that particular FA artist has disabled/erased their account or work.



Anyways, I know I've mentioned this topic before but just know that I really don't ever plan on taking anything down at any point.
I know the things I post do matter a lot to some people and I could never imagine just casually destroying everything I've ever made and posted for bad and lazy reasons.
In the event I ever end up having to take things down just know that it would probably be a very legitimate and very serious reason.

The past few weeks have been getting to me again and my brain isn't being helpful at the moment so I want to do something on here to help me want to draw. I'm debating doing a Q&A style "ask BLANK character" thing that was popular a while back that people made for OC's and various fan characters.
If it's something people are interested in and I decide I want to do it I will make a post where people can ask Theon questions that I will draw them answering/reacting to. Keep in mind that I would be selective about the questions tho.

It just feels like it would be a fun thing to do and it would help get me get used to the flow of being more consistent, also I think it would really help be rid of the wicked negative block I have at the moment.
If you are interested let me know below! If I decide to do it then I'll make an "ask" journal and I'll pick responses from that one.

Taking a break this weekend so I won't be posting anything.
I'm taking a break to practice stuff and work on other things right now.
That being said I will be missing posting anything Shark Theo related for the end of shark week but I'll be post something for it next weekend instead along with a few other things!

Hope y'all had a good shark week and a good weekend! :0

Opinionated spider decides to post an emotionally driven hot take on the internet.
Like that's never been done before or has never gone poorly for anyone lol.
Real talk tho this is something I’ve been slowly getting more frustrated and upset by over time as it continues to happen more and more, I’ve been meaning to make a post about it at some point but I didn’t feel like it was worth making a journal until now.

The Rant:

Recently I've come across a lot of artists profiles that have been voluntarily removed and have had all their art taken down. Some of these artists were quite popular and have been very influential to me over the years. Some of these artists were from forever ago like waaay before I was even on the platform, artists that were very important to me and inspired me to want to draw and post stuff. I've been noticing artists erasing their work and their profiles more and more as of recent and I just found out today that another individual had removed and taken down their entire profile very recently and it's just infuriating to see.

I understand removing your work if the fact that your profile and art existing is causing you conflicts in other aspects of your life, or if your art is problematic or you begin to view your art as inherently problematic. If I ever remove my profile and all the things I've drawn it will be because it being on the internet was causing me issues elsewhere.

But it's not the same as "I’ve moved on to other things so I am now deciding to erase everything I ever made" or "I don't like my old art because I can draw it better now so I am going to selectively erase 3/4 of all my old art that I don't like so no one can ever see it ever again." Like some things people draw are really important to people or are even some of their favorite drawings ever and to just erase it from existence for forever just because you feel like it gets me genuinely angry. There are things that are impossible to find now that personally to me were very influential or inspiring or important or were some of my favorite drawings and to see that they were completely destroyed for no good reason other than “Oh, ya I’ve moved on from all that so I erased everything because I felt like it” genuinely makes me angry and upset.

I went to go look around on another site and found old pieces I enjoyed and went to go search them up and found that a good number of those artists have erased their accounts and all their collective work. It's just frustrating to see all of these artists that I looked up to forever ago and even recent artists now that I really enjoyed just destroy everything they made even though they didn't need to or seemingly had no reason to do so.
If you want to move on then just move on to other things, but you don't need to destroy everything you've left behind and leave all those people who followed you and cared about you and your art upset and angry by destroying everything they followed you for.

---

I try not to ramble or give opinions on here but this has been something that genuinely frustrates me a lot and it’s something that’s been irritating me all weekend.
I just needed to go on a bit of a rant because this has been building up in my brain for a while now and just today I learned about another artist that recently did this so I wanted to get it out.

Again, if I ever erase my account along with all my fetish art it's going to be because it's causing me problems. Even after I leave FA someday in the future I will still leave everything here for people to find or look back for because I know people enjoy it and it might be important to some people.

I would be interested in anyone’s opinions on this topic if anyone has any, I know I’ve been bad at responding to journal comments but I would be interested in replying to some about this topic.

So FA was down all the later half of Saturday which was when I was going to post all the rest of the art I had to post.
Now I am going to wait until next weekend to post this past weekends stuff along side next weekends stuff... If that makes sense lol.
I really wish FA would work when I want it to but I know they get DDOS attacked fairly frequently.

I'm still trying to only post on the weekends every weekend, something for Saturday and something for Sunday. Right now I'm still going with the theme of something Theo related on Saturday and something random of my choice that I want to draw on Sunday. That will change once I get through my started and unfinished drawings of Theo.
I might change it to drawing something related to a random picking of one of my characters on Saturday and something random that I want to draw on Sunday if people would be interested in that!

This weekend I had something come up and it caused me to post a day late.
I posted Saturday's Theo themed drawing(s) on Sunday, and on Monday (Today) I was going to post Sunday's drawing.
I finished Sundays drawing and was going to post it tonight but it's too late in the day now. I'm going to wait until NEXT Sunday to post it along side what I was going to post next Sunday so there will be TWO Sunday drawings next weekend instead of just one!
I am still sticking to my schedule! However for future reference, if things come up that prevent me from finishing on time I will either be posting it late OR along side the next weekend's regular drawing.

That's it! Just a short little update on whats happening with my schedule!
It's late for me right now so I hope yous have a good night in which ever time zone you're in! :0

Quick mention beforehand:
My artist buddy was dragged into this nonsense at the beginning of this year even though they had absolutely nothing to do with it and I only just heard all of this new info about two weeks ago.
They were an artist on FA that I did a trade with at one point but I am not going to mention their name, I know they don’t want any attention brought to them and I know they are not planning on coming back. I would ask that if you know who it was to please not mention their name in the comments out of respect for their privacy, they have since removed all of their art and removed their account from FA.

I do know the Jigsaw drama deals with some serious subject matter that by simply talking about it even in a negative light can get you infractions and suspensions on FA. If you know about what happened or have information please don’t mention anything related to it in the comments and please don’t ask for information about the topic to avoid risk of a suspension. Also there are probably people who DON’T want to know about it or wouldn’t want to know about it, from what I hear is some dark and not OK stuff.Also if you don’t know anything about this I would recommend avoiding it, it’s just not great and not worth it.

---

Information:
I had an artist buddy on here that was chased off FA for stuff they had no involvement in, the stuff that happened was two years prior to them even being on FA. Someone contacted me two weeks ago asking about the situation but I was not aware of the full scope of the situation, I was only aware that my buddy was chased off the internet by people that didn’t like the particular themes of their art. From what I was told there was a group going after unsavory individuals that were doing not great things within the furry community and this Jigsaw fellow was one of the people they were going after.

From what I was told the reason they went after my buddy was due to the fact that the art they drew and Jigsaw’s content were thematically similar, the difference was one being fantasy and illustration while the other was being done in real life. I was told my buddy’s art never referenced anything Jigsaw made so I am assuming it was just a vigilante witch hunt for anything even remotely related to it… But like my buddy’s account didn’t even exist until two years after what happened tho??? Idk frig I’m just really irritated that it even happened they didn’t deserve to get mobbed and their art was great, friggin anyways.

I’m trying to figure out everything that happened right now and my buddy is just kinda gone from the internet, their art was friggin great and it’s a shame people were crappy about it. Right now I’m looking for any information or content related to Jigsaw, if anyone has any info please send me a note about it so we can chat elsewhere. FA rules will infract even negative discussion about these kinds of topics with suspension and other punishments so please refrain from mentioning anything serious even in note format! I tried asking around and sent a few notes to people a few weeks ago but nothing came up so if you know anything or have any related content please get back to me it would be super helpful! :0

Thank you for your time I know this was a bit of a long journal to read.

---

I will mention AGAIN!
-Please don’t ask who the artist was they want to be left alone. If you know who it was please don’t mention their account name in the comments.
-Please don’t openly discuss anything about Jigsaw because I know it’s the type of stuff that can get you in trouble with FA.
-Please don’t ask me about this Jigsaw drama, not only do I not know much about it but I’ve already mentioned everything I can say that I know about it and further discussion about it on FA can get both you and I in trouble.
-Again, I’m trying to figure everything out that happened with my buddy so if you have anything related to this Jigsaw individual please send me a note and you can let me know elsewhere outside FA!

---

UPDATE:

This was a comment that became long and it’s basically an update on what I’ve learned for anyone reading!
I have added this to the bottom of the journal for those reading after the fact.

Correct I am trying to piece together what happened! And yea the journal is kind of a mess, there was a lot to go over my bad if it’s confusing. XI
As for “information and content”, since making this post I have already found a ton of information about Jigsaw and the group that went after them/others as well as exactly why they pointlessly went after my buddy. I got a whole timeline of what happened now which is great but I guess it doesn’t really solve the fact that it happened in the first place lol. I just really wanted answers and was irritated after hearing about what actually happened, I couldn’t find anything helpful and no one I asked/sent notes to seemed to know anything helpful. Like their art was friggin great and the whole situation is garbage and everything surrounding the situation and what went down was garbage.
Actually just venting real quick, anywhoo.

All the information I knew was second hand told to me two weeks ago and it wasn’t very clear, but since then I have been shown the full conversations of the group that went after my buddy and what happened with Jigsaw/all the other deplorable individuals so I more or less got my answers now. As far as I know there were arrests and people were sentenced. However with my buddy it was literally just “I don’t like their art because it’s violent and thematically similar, and even tho it’s all fictional and fantasy based we should still go after them to send a message” kind of deal. They didn’t get in any actual trouble but they harassed and scared them off and I’m super pissed about it. All the chat logs were infuriating to read.

Hey there!

So last weekend I posted on both Saturday and Sunday and I will be continuing that posting schedule over the next 4 weekends! :0
On Saturday I will be posting a Theo related image or sequence and on Sundays I will be posting an image or sequence of whatever I feel like!
For Sunday images I am mostly going through my backlog of unfinished drawings so a lot of it will be old or unfinished ideas/sketches but they will be new to everyone else lol.

That being said stay tuned! I got a lot of stuff to post and after the 4 weekend schedule I still plan on posting every weekend.
I plan on making the later weekend posts only one sequence or image but that doesn't mean I might not post more if I feel like it lol.
Either way I am excited to be posting regularly and I've actually been in a good mood as of recent, it's good to be back now and I'm happy to be posting on FA again! :0

Ok real talk I keep drawing things and not finishing them before I get anxious and start drawing something new help me lol.
Seriously it's gotten so bad there are 39 things in my unfinished folder for FA stuff I don't know what to do aaaaaa

Just ranting about the big stress no worries I'm all good, I just need to get myself in a better head space to finish stuff else I'll keep adding to the pile.


Side rant real quick tho:
I feel like I dropped off and stopped engaging with other artists on here due to stress on my end and I don't like that. Like I cant remember the last time I even left a comment on someone else's image or anything. IDK I need to get my shite together on here so I can practice being more regular with posting stuff because I keep failing the whole weekly post thing. IDK maybe I should make a twitter or something, I know a few peeps on here are set up over there and the interactivity could be fun. Maybe that'll keep my mind in line and motivated to finish stuff up.

FA is falling apart on me rn and I can't post things friggin A+.
Images aren't loading and I haven't been able to post images all weekend nice nice nice.
Anyone else getting this or having other issues???

Either way I have like three things to post but I'ma gonna wait till next weekend to put them up, I want to stick to the weekend posting thing.

Hey!
Everything has kinda been on pause for the past week or so with all the crazy stuff going on.
I'm fine right now but who knows if I have it or not yet. Hopefully not since I've been stupid careful about it lol.
I'll be back to uploading again next weekend which means I'll be back to posting at least one thing every weekend!
For real tho stay safe and keep self quarantined, people are getting seriously hurt so don't let that shite spread around! >:0

Hey here is a quick update so it wont be long and boring to read for those that want to!

I haven't been able to draw/had the energy to draw for a bit but I'm back and finishing old things I never finished now! :0
Life has been throwing a really unfortunate series of events at me since the end of December up until recent but things are going good now so I'm back!
I've been at it drawing stuff to post here the past week or so and I've been enjoying it.


I have a few things lined up right now, including but not limited to (and also not in order of):
-Finishing Iggy short I started.
-Finishing that Halloween short I started a year ago and never finished because I didn't like it but hey may as well lol it's so long ago oops.
-Something Kass related!
-Something Christmas related I ended up not finishing due to nonsense happening IRL.
-Something Beastars related I never finished that I started and almost finished around the time when the second weekly episode aired in Japan.
-Something special that I've been really enjoying drawing that I can't wait to post, shhhhh it's a secret! ;3c
-And finally, 29 unfinished PSD files I never got around to finishing because I have the attention span of a cauliflower! :0 Some of those I'm going to get rid of tho, not all 29 are good.


I'm planning to blast through all the drawing's I've started and not finished before moving on to draw/start new things.
I have a few things I want to try at some point like attempting animating something fun or maybe taking user poll votes on what characters to do next!
I'm enjoying drawing things to post on FA right now, I'm looking forward to finishing my to do list of backed up unfinished drawings. X3

Hey! Just a quick update YES I am still alive and NO I'm not gone.
I've been away for a bit now due to unfortunate things happening as well as being super busy. Mainly it's just been keeping me from being in the mindset of wanting to draw and post here so I've been staying off FA for a bit.
I've still been drawing tho and I have like 25 unfinished things that I've started and never finished because I just didn't have the mental energy to spend too long on one quick drawing. That's mainly the reason why I haven't been posting.

I will be back for a little bit in a couple of weeks over the winter break and I will have a few things to post at that time.
I will also be replying to notes when I get back, I just haven't had the mental energy to respond and there are a few that I want to get back to.
For those asking if I'm OK I really appreciate you reaching out and checking in to make sure I'm doing fine, thank you.

For anyone that might think of any prolonged absence in the future as a possibility of me leaving FA don't worry it's just me being stressed and taking a break. If I ever leave I WILL make some form of post about it in journals and make a gallery post directing to the journal so more people are aware of it.
THAT BEING SAID I don't plan on leaving any time in the near future so don't worry about the last statement too hard. I'll be here a while yet... If the site doesn't get ddos'd into oblivion that is...


EDIT:
Birthday is the 25th this month lol I didn't even mention that after putting it in title.

I'm back after being absent for almost 3 months! :0
Reason being my mental state was not super fantastic. Hurray! I was keeping my distance from a lot of things I normally enjoy/do because that's how brain work?

Regardless, I am now back and will be making an effort to get my library of unfinished but started drawings done and uploaded.
That being said I will be busy over the next week working on a portfolio so my time will be preoccupied with more pressing life matters but after that I should be back to posting at my regular slow pace.
Now with THAT being said I do have one thing I finished up the other day that I will be posting shortly after this so there's that to look at.

To all the people that messaged me asking where I was and if I was alright I am doing better now thank you!
I will be catching up on notes and replying to all the missed comments/notes over the next bit as well.
But ya I'm back! :0
Cant wait to get back ta drawing brutal kinky inflation again!

Aww heck ya nothing better that the good o'll gift of sickness! :0
Figured I would treat myself and become horribly ill and unable to do anything fun or eventful on my birthday, WHOO!!
I'll just make plans for next weekend I guess, oh well. X3

Frigin moved again and didn't have internet for forever but I'm back AGAIN... Again.
The person was supposed to show up and then didn't so we had to wait even longer than last time before we had internet again.

But now it's reading week so I have time to finish a few things and upload!
I'll be bust working on assignments but I'll have time do finish up a few things so expect some uploads this week! :0
I've got like 5 other pics and sequences I've started that haven't finished because I have no attention span...

Just a heads up!
I haven't really had time to draw and upload art here as of recent and probably wont for a while yet to come. Classes comes first!
I have a few things that are mostly finished and I'll see if I can find the time to finish them up and post them but that wont be for a while yet.
Also sorry if I haven't replied to a note or comment I've been stupidly busy with life and classes, I'll get to responding back next week when I have the time!
Anywho wish me luck, ciao! :0

I have internet once again! :0
I drew quite a few things while I was away so I'll be uploading them goodies over the next week or so.
Made a new character as well so check them out if you so desire.
