I’m sorry but it’s really annoying to see this keep happening on my dash. For those who don’t know,Pixiv is considering shutting down access to western users.

Why?

Because of edits and reposts onto social media sights, such as Tumblr, Facebook, even Twitter. The problem has been here for the past months and I really just get sad seeing everyone reblog edits and reposts of art that’sUNSOURCED.

I’m sorry if I seem bitchy, but this is a critical issue, because not only would this cut off fandom posters, it cuts off any person in the US from accessing Pixiv.

Pixiv artists are already deleting their works and accounts, more and more artists are deleting everything because of this. I have alreadymade a post about this on my main,  and so havetwo ofmy friends. You may say we’re throwing a big deal about this, but the thing is- we’re just trying to make sure that us fans and future fans have the art resources.

Things to know:

• ZEROCHAN AND WEHEARTIT ARE NOT SOURCES.
• I REPEAT. ZEROCHAN AND WEHEARTIT ARE NOT SOURCES.
• If you really absolutely don’t know, try the Google Images source thing.
• Or better yet-saucenao is a better one, as if it’s a pixiv work, it shows you the original pixiv link, if it’s deleted or not, and the artist.
• If you don’t know the source, DO THOSE STEPS ABOVE, and if they don’t work, state you don’t know it and ask around.

Oh, and biggest thing for the Vocaloid fandom mainly, along with other fandoms:

this is a list of pixiv artists who do not want their art reposted or edited at all.

If you ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO REPOST THEIR WORK, ASK THEM FIRST! It won’t hurt you to be polite, and even if they don’t understand english they probably will understand what you’re saying.

I find this very relevant to this blog so I hope you’ll allow me to give another PSA.

(Thank you endless-chocolate for sending me this link)

I see this happen on my dash sometimes and I’m not gonna lie, I did consider unfollowing the people that reblog unsourced fanarts. Especially more so on those so-called one piece confessions/dirty op confessions whatever. It’s getting ridiculous. 

However, it’s my belief that every one of you are wonderful people who respects others, especially those who have worked hard in drawing and writing all the wonderful doujins and fanarts. So I hope I can raise some more awareness to this.

As usual I’m going to illustrate it in an easy way. (read right to left)

What supposed to happen:

What you’re doing when you don’t source:

What you’re making the artist do:

Every artist grow by displaying their work and getting critique. But when their work is spread around without any credit to the artist, AND EVEN MAKES THE OWN ARTIST DELETE IT FROM HIS/HER SITE it lost the purpose and meaning.

What you should do from now on (if you haven’t been doing so):

Here’s a guide on how to use saucenao. If it’s from pixiv, saucenao will most likely find it. If it doesn’t, use google image search.

If an artist spend their time to draw that fanart, I think we can spend a bit of time finding out the proper source/credit.

This has been another PSA from Dark Honey.

cant stress enough about this topic, please source everyone

I am proud to be raising awareness of this serious issue!

Please spread this around so less and less of a problem will continue!

hey! since claires filed for bankruptcy and toys r us is closing all it’s stores in the US, make sure to check their online store and your local stores regularly the next few months! there’s going to be blowout sales and probably extreme discounts up to 90%. so any nostalgia / kidcore fans, keep your eyes peeled cause otherwise their stuff will just get thrown out most likely!

same goes for anyone with kids, who babysits, etc.— especially since the “toys r us” closings include all “babies r us” stores as well.

If you don’t have any kids, it can be a nice thing to buy toys and baby items anyways, and look into donating them to homeless/women’s shelters, hospitals, or other charities.

Landlord Killed Computer, Need Help

Some of you might remember that I made a post about my desktop being in the shop. Since it had been in the shop prior to this for similar things, I was fully confident it would be okay.

And then I found out that the plugs in our house weren’t actually grounded… our landlord just MADE it look like it was. For the past 2 years we’ve begged him to fix the electricity in our house (half the plugs don’t work, one room doesn’t even have light), but he’s outright ignored us every time.

This time, his negligence killed my last working computer and I can’t afford to get a new shell or retrieve my files. My family can barely scrape rent together let alone spend any of it on ourselves.

Please, if you can donate anything to help, I would be extremely grateful.

I’m trying to get around 80 for a data transfer and 400-500 for a new computer shell for the salvageable parts inside.

We’ve raised $169 (no pun intended) so far!!

Thank you so much for your generosity guys, I can afford to rescue my files now ;A;

We’ve gotten $230!

Again, I can’t thank everyone enough!

Hey everyone, i’m Nuke! A 20 years old boy very screwed.

So, here’s the thing:

I’ve been living the past 20 years in an abusive home and been beaten the hell out of me. I have no freedom at all to even do my favorite thing in the world, which is drawing (Considered a capital sin by my family). I did have a job, but it didn’t last long, and i have no problem finding a new one out of here. The problem is, that money won’t be enough to rent a flat, pay bills, and my basic needs. I’ve been suicidal and depressive for years as well.

SO LONG STORY SHORT.

There are a few plans and options i discussed with my closest friends. I would need to get my personal documentation, hidden by my family, of course, and get the hell out.

Until i find a job, i’ll need to spend money i don’t have in shelter, unless i want to sleep in the street.

You can message me through DM if you need proof or details, although even using my own phone is dangerous if i’m caught. As i said, i have no freedom and my live has no value here. Anything can trigger this people into violence, so that’s why i need to go and run as fast as i can.

There’s much more than just this, but again, feel free to message me for details or questions.

You can donate to my Paypal through this link:

Here is the sweetest star in my life.

Number of uncountable stars are being fallen down.
I dare to say the period that cause of family is most saddest.

I’m so proud of him that he’s standing up instead giving up,
and I see the most beautiful brightness in his will that step forward.

So I always sorry that I can’t be stay right beside of him when he’s in pain.
So I always sorry that I couldn’t protect him when he’s in hard time alone.

Till he write this post, I can’t even tell how long
he’ve been passing the way of full of thorns with bare feet.

He drew those precious doodle in dangerous risk for this post.
I couldn’t even help anything but praying and waiting till he returns safly.

Because the words are limited unlike our emotion,
I have no way to explain how much I’m so happy and worry.

Your karma of kindness will returns when you get hard time.
So please hold his hands, help him.

even though you can’t donate,
please reblog and share this post.
