Do you peeps know of an alternative to deviantArt? Specifically one that doesn't support AI "art".
          	
          	I want a place to host my artwork alongside Tumblr. dA has been fucking up way too many times over the years, and I'm planning on jumping ship soon. The latest ones that I can recall, and that are my breaking point, are dA supporting AI "art" with open arms and their ~political views~ to say the least.
          	
          	I won't be supporting them in the future because of these fuck ups, but I will have to go back there soon. If only to remove my artwork from there, and to update everyone there of my indefinite departure from dA.
          	
          	(I'm not going into detail about their ~political views~, but I personally find them abhorrent at best.)

Are there any alternatives to Redbubble that you'd recommend for merch? I'm debating on whether to continue selling merch there, or if I should jump ship and go to a different place entirely.
          
          The main criteria I have is whether I'd have ownership of the artwork that I post there, and the actual quality of the products.
          
          (And if the place doesn't support ~problematic~ people as well. That's also a factor in my decision.)

@UnicornLovers10 Also what kind of merch would you prefer? I'm thinking of sticker designs first and foremost, and then branching off to other forms. But I'd like suggestions as well.
            
            (Supporting me through the merch shop is optional, and it isn't required for me to publish my stories here and in other places. But it helps support my passions. Also forgot to add this in the OG post.)

Apologies that I haven't posted much in the past few months. I've been pretty busy with IRL stuff, and archiving my stories on other sites. Namely AO3 and Fanfic.Net. I'll probably write out a full update on everything later, but it'll probably be in a book here. And I'll let you know when that's published here.
          
          Sincerely,

I got an AO3 account a few days ago, and it's the same username as my Wattpad. I don't know how active I'll be on there, but I've started to cross posting there.
          
          Don't worry, Wattpad and Tumblr will be the main places where I'm posting my writing. I'm just posting on other places for accessibility.

UnicornLovers10

@daku447 Ditto. I'm still trying my best to figure out the tags, to make sure that I'm doing it correctly (and that my stories are accessible). Still trying to figure out what all of the tags mean though, especially AU tags. I might have to read tutorials on it, as I'm still unfamiliar with AO3. /gen

I'm currently working on getting Windows 10 on my computer, as Windows 8.1 already reached it's EOL and is in the process of getting deprecated. I've been meaning to do this for a while, as my computer has been bogged down. And some of the programs that I use (namely Steam and Canva), are pressuring me to upgrade to Windows 10 or above. Otherwise I wouldn't be able to use them.
          
          I've been posting progress on my Tumblr, and it's been going smoothly. It's currently installing at the moment. I can't do much there right now. So I'm calling it a night, and I'll check up on this tomorrow.
          
          Sincerely,

This isn't finalized yet, but I'm thinking of cross posting my writing on other sites (Mostly FF.Net, debating on AO3*). This site and Tumblr will still be the main places where I post my writing. I don't know how active I'll be on those other sites btw, and I'm the most active on here and Tumblr.
          
          Do you peeps think that I should cross post my writing, or should it be a Tumblr and Wattpad exclusive thing? I'm genuinely curious of your input.
          
          Sincerely,
          Celestia Starshine
          
          * = I'm vaguely aware of AO3's ~issues~, but I haven't looked *too* deep into it. I don't really get into drama for my own reasons. I'm just thinking about posting there as well for accessibility.

UnicornLovers10

@UnicornLovers10 Also I've had the FF.Net for as long as this account. I've barely used it though because this site is more user friendly for me, and it's a bit easier to get into.
            
            (I do understand why they have those security measures though, I'm not disrespecting them.)

We've starting to get the results of my MRI back, and it seems like there's nothing wrong so far. So I honestly have no clue why I keep getting migraines. I might update you guys later, but I'm on the fence in regards to sharing IRL stuff.
          
          (Might delete later btw, just a quick update)

@UnicornLovers10 *We're. I just realized that I made a slight grammar error on the OG post. I was probably really tired when I wrote it.

@UnicornLovers10 I'm able to focus on my projects btw. But I've honestly been a complete mess since February, and I apologize for that.

~Quick Update~
          
          I do have a couple of big things happening this month, a funeral for Popa and an MRI. So that's why things are slower than usual, and it's the main reason as to why I'm utilizing the queue on Tumblr.
          
          I've mostly been preparing for the former since February, and I still feel like I'm not ready yet. And I've been mentally preparing for the MRI since the beginning of this month.
          
          The next chapters of my current fics (the ones I'm working on) will come out when they're ready. I can't really tell you an exact date.
          
          I also have a couple of projects under heavy wraps, and I'll try to update those on separate posts (and I'll try to update you as soon as I can).
          
          Apologies for the inconvenience that this has caused.
          Best Regards, Celestia Starshine

@UnicornLovers10 This will affect all of my current projects by the way, not just the ones that you know about. Again, my apologies for the inconvenience.

I just saw Watching and Dreaming, and I'm not spoiling much. But I really did like the episode. There are some things that I didn't like, but it was better than the previous episode.

UnicornLovers10

@UnicornLovers10 I kinda changed my mind on this. It's difficult to explain, so I'll make a dedicated post later. I'll keep the original up for posterity's sake.
