consent doesn’t only apply to sexual touching.
you’re allowed to tell people not to hug you, not to hold your hand, not to kiss your cheek, not to play with your hair, not to put their hands on you in any way without your permission. you’re allowed to be uncomfortable with these kinds of touching, to tell people that, and to have those boundaries respected. just because a touch isn’t sexual doesn’t mean that you’re not allowed to have a problem with it.
you’re allowed to create boundaries about what happens with your body and what other people do with it, regardless of those people’s motivations or their relationship to you. it isn’t only sexual touching people need your consent for and it isn’t only sexual touching that you’re allowed to revoke your consent for. people should not be touching you when you don’t want them to no matter what kind of touching it is.
non native english speaker culture is constantly switching between british and american spelling and writing words however you prefer without caring about consistency and you dont really always know which is which anyway

It is becoming even more apparent that people aren’t respecting fanartists and their works. The best rule of thumb is If you didn’t draw it, or receive artist permission to repost it for them, DON’T DO IT. You shouldn’t like/reblog unsourced art as it only encourages blogs to continue doing so and their actions going unchanged. Tags like;
#Credits to the artist
#Credits to the owner
#Not my art
#weheartit
#deviantart ( as in mentioning you found it there without linking the appropriate member you found from.)
[Etc.]
These are not proper credits. Also, even if you ARE crediting the artist make sure it hasn’t been posted numerous times or you aren’t reposting their art when they have it already posted on their personal tumblr. The point of them posting it on tumblr is to share it with us and it isn’t hard to hit that reblog button. It shows the artist that their work was enjoyed and it serves further to encourage them to continue with the hard work.
“If they didn’t want it on the internet they shouldn’t have posted it.”
I see this statement a lot, obviously they wanted to share their work and share their passion with everyone but is it really so hard to go to their page and like/share it from there? If there is a picture that you are uncertain of it’s source and you would like to see it’s source or share it with someone give saucenao.com a try. Sometimes careless fans constantly reposting art gets the artist in trouble become of distribution and laws. Example; A fellow artist of mine mentioned about a law changes in their home country made them take their art down simple for if the government saw/deemed it inappropriate, even if someone else was reposting it. They would be fined heavily and possible even go to prison. They ended up taking down all of their “shipped” art but still worries that their art could be circulating. Also there are other law and regulations we aren’t aware of and when more posting occurs outside of the artist knowledge can cause them to remove the art all together.
“I don’t speak ” —- “ so I couldn’t ask them anyway.”
There are a few really good guides about asking members on pixiv if you can reblog or use their art for blog things. ( Example right here—- >> [x] ] They even pre set some phrases for you to copy and paste and also published what some replies would translate to. Also there is a good chance that a few of them speak a little english. If the artist says no, THEN DON’T DO IT. I shouldn’t have to say that. I don’t care if everyone and their dying grandma does it. So quick review;
If you didn’t draw it, don’t post it without permission
You see something else someone posted without credit, don’t like it or reblog it.
External outside multimedia (weheartit, pinterest, facebook, etc.) are not sources.
I am tired of seeing art that I like but I have seen many times being reposted and have 20 separate posts being reblogged over again. I also hate not liking a picture due to improper handling. It is sad, rude, and really disheartening to other artists who want to share their works and I hate it most when the artist has to take their work down.
I'm Alice, neurodivergent, a relic of the late XIX, very ancient, almost 30 I mostly draw things I like which happen to be my OCs / D&D characters, they make me happy and tbh I don't often feel like drawing anything else. I used to draw fanart a lot but those works never felt like mine, it did help me hone my skills through. I stopped posting and deleted all my stuff years ago for mental health reason and I kinda want to come back to sharing my art with people.
My interests:
Dungeons and dragons
Character design
Favourite anime: Princess Tutu ( I don;t have the energy to keep up with new stuff and I'm tired of shounen/isekai)
Music taste: all over the place
Aesthetics: elves ( especially drow) , skeletons/undead, lolita fashion, romantic gothic
Hi, I'm Alice ( She/They) I mostly draw OCs as well as TTRPG related stuff. I don't post post much, but I'm trying to.
