This journal entry is for people who happen across this account while I'm working to finalize everything.
This account is the recently-made NSFW alt of SilverMelee. I've gone by that particular name in online spaces since turning 18 back in late '07, and have had an account here since '08. Around 2019, I began to share lewd art alongside the clean stuff and have continued to do such in the years since, but...

I'm at the point where I'm no longer comfortable with allowing the two to mingle together. You've heard of porn addiction? Well, this is porn exhaustion, and I honestly can't stand to see all of that NSFW art alongside the SFW content anymore. It's not what I want people to immediately think of when they see my characters, but it's understandably hard not to do that when your main account has both artwork featuring character development and how they live/interact on a day-to-day basis right next to porn of them fellating horse genitalia and taking wolf knots. It wasn't so bad at first, but I've noticed recently that when you count all the different variants of each drawing I get, I now have almost as much commissioned lewd art as I do of commissioned clean art. Some of you may be okay with that, but it's come to bother me very deeply.

So does that mean I'm done with NSFW art? That my days of commissioning such art are behind me?

NO.
I doubt I'll ever stop commissioning porn, especially not as long as so many great artists out continue to make hot stuff and irresistible YCHes that are too good to turn down. However, to ensure I can get some peace of mind and ensure the people who want one thing out of me don't have to get exposed to the other, I decided to make this account where I will be slowly but surely moving much of the smut from my main account. I still want people to be able to access it, after all, though there's no doubt some suggestive art will remain over there - my main issue is mainly with the harder explicit stuff. As it stands, this is my current plan:

- Start uploading much of the NSFW art from my main account to here.
- If a pic has a SFW counterpart, that counterpart will remain on the main account, but I'll still link to it in the upper section of the pic description.
- Likewise, if the artist has done other works for me, be it SFW or otherwise, I will continue to link to them at the very bottom the description with few exceptions. SFW pics will link back to my main account and vice versa.
- Once I'm all caught up with moving all of the pornographic works here and links in the descriptions are adjusted accordingly, I'll begin deleting the duplicate adult material on my main, finalizing the shift to make it (mostly) SFW.

We'll see where things go from there and how long I can continue the push before I run out of steam, but hopefully I'll be able to pull through with it and not lose too many favs and followers. That said, I do wish FA had an option to switch between accounts quickly like what Twitter does... it's not fun having to manually log out and log back in with your alt.
