Just a quick sidenote to the previous social media post, we have also expanded to BlueSky together with Kuki, because at that point we needa be absolutely everywhere it seems ;)

Hello all, I'll try to get right to the point I had recently received news that this lovely platform is tightening its grip on content that they allow on the site.

I've actively participated in deviantArt community for over a decade of my life. If there ever has been one platform that I could call my internet home that would be probably this one, honestly. Deviantart had helped me find footing in many communities in which I participate to this day, so I'd be deeply saddened to see it go the corporate path, but over the last few years we've seen it getting worse and worse, hence why by that point I am very jaded by all the issues arising on the platform.

I very rarely speak on such matters because I don't feel like there is even any need for me to speak up, when you can see for yourselves all the attempts of dA staff to introduce many failed new venues of bringing more monetization schemes onto the site, first with NFTs and then later with AI art and so on and so on, from which dA backs off only after receiving backlash from the community.

But I do not wish to even stir up any conversation, if you wish to run your own website into the ground then so be it, I am just gonna take my toys elsewhere and this is what I'd recommend to everyone else; if deviantart wishes to repeat what tumblr did and see their userbase dwindle even more, then please leave them to their own devices.

I am just gonna walk away, because it's the content creators and not the platform itself that truly matter, and if they fail to see that then there is nothing worth sticking around for.

I am mostly very tired by all this. Please support your favorite artists and follow them on something ELSE besides just twitter, please use federated social media that are more resilient to being affected by sudden changes in content moderation policies, and not beholden to advertisers. If platforms change for the worse don't stick around stubbornly, change platforms and make them loose their website traffic.

I am still out there and I am not going to be discouraged that easily

(I am not closing down my deviantart and still posting as usual, but I strongly urge you to please seek out alternatives and consider giving federated social media a try as well) CHECK OUT MINE AND KUKI'S SOCIALS LINKED BELOW

Hey everyone, there's been plenty of things going on in my and Kuki's lives recently so we're sorry for keeping you in the dark, it's because we've been busy dealing with real life shenanigans more than usually so that left us with very little energy for online posting, hopefully you can see some more activity from us in the coming days.

TL;DR due to our failing health we need a couple extra days to wrap up the November animation, we're also taking a break in December because the situation with Pixiv Fanbox is looking confusing at this moment and we prefer to wait it out and save us some stress, thanks for your continued support and see you soon with more updates!

I'll try to keep it somewhat brief because I'm trying to cover for a couple things all going on recently.

First of all our health. We've spent the past month running from doctor to doctor and we're far away from being done, so we're just calling it a break in December because there's been too much stress and we need some space to recharge in order to not strain us even further. Kuki was dealing with diagnosing her migraine among other things and getting prescription drugs for it and I been dealing with my strained back that had began giving me more trouble recently. I am currently going through a process of signing up with a physiotherapy program on some experimental new techniques and I will be meeting with some physicians in December because I need some set of guidance advice that will help me specifically other than the yoga that I been already doing on my own.

Due to all this we're estimating that it will take us at least a couple more days to get the November animation art pack out to supporters, which brings us to another question of what we're doing with Fanbox moving forward. You may know already, there's been some updates to Pixiv Fanbox policies which leave us wondering whether or not they will affect us or not. It’s all still very muddy and confusing at the moment, so we decided that it's best to wait and see what happens after the 15th of December when the new set of rules is supposed to start being enforced. It is also why we will get the November art pack sent out your way before the new policies update for sure. For now Kuki will be disconnecting her PayPal from our Fanbox and we’ll see how it goes and whether we return to it in January, because by that time there will be plenty other artists to compare the situation with. If you're unsure yourself, we recommend moving over to our SubscribeStar page for the time being: https://subscribestar.adult/littleweirdoneko

I also wanted to take a second to thank all the absolute gigachad kings and queens that support their favorite artists in any way, shape or form, not only monetary support but even the simplest act of sharing, commenting and faving our creations is always deeply appreciated and I cannot thank you enough for your continued support, y'all are my lifeblood and without you we wouldn't be able to make it during these trying times among all the bullshit negatively affecting online art communities; for real thank you once again and see you soon with more goodies, we all gonna make it <3
