Hii, from now on my artist pseudonym will be 'pikkyu' and will now be signing all my new works under this name!

✨ link to all my legitimate art social pages!
✨ All of my art posts!
✨ All of my helpful bsky tips & tricks.

Graphic with a demonic pink fox furry character of mine LOVE BITE pointing at the main notice text that says:

"VARENDRICH IS REBRANDING TO PIKKYU!
So, don't be alarmed about the the new name appearing in all my new works.

ALL of my artworks prior to 15 Nov. 2024 will remain watermarked as 'varendrich' and I'll still be reposting them as such.

So, please don't accuse me of stealing my own works!"

I have to admit, this episode is a little more on the calm side, so maybe better for having on in the background. We do meet a couple of new faces though, including our very own barista~! ☕

Check out episode 8 of my Let's Play of #DateEverything! 💖

Hey y’all, just cause this is a pain in the ass and is annoying me to no end:

If you see any releases on YouTube by this “Zebby” person be advised that this is NOT me, even though they appear on my channel!

I usually go be *zebby* with a lowercase z and YouTube doesn’t check for that 😔

1/

A screenshot of the releases tab of the YouTube channel of zebby (with a lowercase z). There are also what looks to be AI generated releases there made by one Zebby (with an uppercase Z). That is because YouTube is dumb and doesn’t check for case sensitivity when putting music on official artist channels.

Preview of my submissions to @c0rps3g0bbl3r.bsky.social OC zine! I swear I'm still somewhat alive and kicking. Somehow... 🥲

🎨 // #pikkyuART #Art #ArtSky #Zine #demon #OCSky

Previews of my two submissions to a zine. Featuring my OC Hawrn, in red demonic form, looking sultry at the viewer at the top artwork, pulling his satin white tops to the side showing his chest. And bottom artwork is him and his partner, Ceri doing something intimately but nothing NSFW is shown as they were cut from the view. Although a bit of their bare chests are showing.

Whether this is factual info or not, other allegations against the creator of Inktober makes me stray away from the terminology anyway. I use # like drawtober, octoberartchallenge, slowtober, sketchtober...

basically creative thing + tober.

Do NOT believe the misinfo going around

There absolutely have been MASSIVE TOS updates

Most notably:

1) Specifying no FICTIONAL noncon
2) No "dangerous" kink
3) No DISCUSSING self harm, suicide, or substance abuse unless its "educational"

So what can we DO about it?

#SaveSpeech

1/🧵

Multiple cropped screenshots showing portions of the bsky TOS before and now. Before: "iv. Encouraging self-harm or suicide
v. Depictions of excessive violence, gore, torture, dismemberment, or non-consensual sexual activity". Now: "ii. We do not allow sexual content involving non-consensual activity including synthetic, simulated, illustrated, or animated versions. iv. Do not create, share, or promote sexual content involving realistic risk of death or serious injury. i. Do not share content, methods, instructions, or promotion of self-harm, suicide, eating disorders, and extreme dieting practices.
ii. Do not share methods, instructions, depictions, or promotion of dangerous stunts or abuse of dangerous or controlled substances. 5. Protected Expression
B. Support, Recovery, and Mental Health:
i. Personal recovery experiences or survivor stories shared to promote healing and community support rather than encouraging harmful behavior.
ii. Sharing verified mental health resources, crisis prevention".

1. Bluesky doesn’t downrank links
2. You can choose your own algorithm from among thousands
3. The whole app is open source

This keeps it a free and open platform by design, leading to better click-throughs and traffic to your site.

time to figure out how to make NSFW music

maybe I can pretend like my virtual instruments didn’t “consent” to being played or something

seriously, screw this vagueness! artist friends, I wanna see you best *fucking* NSFW pieces - we need better self-moderation tools instead of whatever this is 😤

Bluesky @bsky.app · 20d

Why you doing this kind of bullshit now? You gave people the tools to moderate, and your system also knows to flag potential nsfw content whether fictional or real.

This isn't it bluesky. People came here because you took a stance and said you are better; this is not it, please reconsider.

banning adult content that is completely legal hurts artists. your new rule creates an absolutely massive grey area where literally anything could be interpreted as nonconsensual, from incidental nudity to bondage. given your track record, I can expect this to be used to target people you don't like

A bit late to this but... It's gonna be interesting how they are going to enforce this as not all depictions are obvious if it's consensual or not.

I don't know I feel like this is gonna be a slippery slope of a Tumblr's nips-banning. Where loads of trans folks got unfairly censored for.

#BSky

Screenshot of Bluesky's new guideline: "D. Adult Content: We provide a safe space

for consensual adult expression by requiring clear consent and stopping abuse.

i. We allow consensual adult sexual content, including fictional depictions, when appropriately labeled and subject to appropriate age restrictions.

ii. We do not allow sexual content involving non-consensual activity including synthetic, simulated, illustrated, or animated versions.

iii. Do not share, threaten to share, or promote tools to create intimate images or sexual content of any individual without their express consent, including synthetic or digitally altered content.

iv. Do not create, share, or promote sexual content involving realistic risk of death or serious injury.

v. Do not engage in technology-facilitated abuse, harassment, or unwanted advances."

Who'd have thought that this piece for a #FE3H zine I made like almost 5 years ago is suddenly relevant again~!

Yeah, I watched the Nintendo Direct. Yeah, I saw the trailer for the new #FireEmblem! Yeah, I'm excited about it!!! 👀

Anyway, enjoy this old-ass piece! :3

Also, I started watching Supacell it's so good why does no one talk about this show??? 😭 I only found out about when I was browsing netflix.

I'm so exhausted to draw when I have time to do so. I can draw during my commute in train but lol.

I wanna be able to draw again 😭 my poor old iPad barely holds any battery and can only run CSP at v3.

Stevie Nix //Open for Comms on VGen @thevioletstarling.com · Aug 22

with how DM's and Chat work, going forward, if you message me about something, I would suggest stating more than just "hi, how are you!"

in fact, just out with it on what you need in the first message.

treat it like a voicemail.

otherwise, ALL messages with "you have a minute?" are assumed a scam
