Ranting about Social Media

 Okay, I need to get this off of my chest I fear. Social Media is so frustrating at the moment??

As of the time of posting this Twitter or X or whatever you want to call it, went ahead and added a "Edit Image" feature which pretty much enables users to feed a picture or drawing into Grok and edit it as they please.

As an illustrator this is soooooo frustrating and I also already deleted most of my posts on that account now, since I don't want to have my work taken from me like that. 

 

The other conversation that got triggered by this however is the different social media sites that are currently available. Personally, I don't like posting on any of them tooooo much. 

I had a whole paragraph typed out on here about all the different sites I've made accounts on and why I dislike each of them, but that's not the point and probably just pointless yapping.

TL;DR: I haven't found a good fit for me that also brings me genuine joy. I do like this Blogger site I've been setting up for myself, so I will stick to this little space until I can set up my own self hosted website to tinker with.

 Anyway have a silly doodle I made years ago, since it encapsulates the mood pretty well lol 

Merry Christmas to us artists 💀

Thought I'd repost it, since it's fitting for the season :3  Hope you guys have a comfy time and happy holidays! 🌲

Thoughts about Usernames

I've been at a weird point in my art journey for a while already (more on that maybe another time, when I feel like typing it all out into a post) , but one of the issues I've been circling around is the whole username thing.    "LilaacWitch"    I like this name, I mean I chose it, what, 10 years ago by now? Maybe less , but I'm starting to feel like I'm growing out of the name a little bit. I'm not super into witchcraft, unlike some peeps I see online. Not really into witchcraft in the traditional sense either. Think the most witchy thing I own is a pentagram necklace and a tarot deck.. and I guess my general obsession with the moon could count here , but that's besides the point. I mostly like the aesthetic of it all, think Whimsigoth, Cottagecore - I do like them all, but I don't see myself fitting into the "witch" category, unless we look at it like we look at witches in cartoons and anime.  So now here is the problem: What else woul...
