Master post? At long last?! may need to make more master posts If I get more into making more about certain ocs, especially sense I wanna try and work on something kinda big for me! I’ll add/Change more and edit this text out once I get what I need more properly on here.

💜 Basic info about me💜

You can call me Katt or Lina! I go by any pronouns as im pangender as well as pansexual, currently really into LMK, and I love to draw! Though I’m very slow at posting. I’m pretty open for talking, though im really anxious about starting. I like talking about ocs, I like shipping characters, and cute family dynamics-

wake up babe, new reason to ditch FANDOM/Wikia just dropped

ALT

ALT

Previosuly

• corporate monster infested with ads which devoured Gamepedia and other companies (feat me on their shit policies, SEO and migration process)
• turning entire articles into ads if paid enough
• limited functionality preventing admins to even fight vandalism
• merging and removing of LGBT+ wikis (and forced domain change for educational [think serious] wikis to “fandom”)
• official wiki status has no meaning in controlling shit
• very much censorship (same good ol’ allergy to adult stuff)
• gets paid by US Navy to advertise their events (one, two)

Alternative free wiki hostings (aka wiki farms)

• Miraheze - started in 2015, non-commercial - no ads and runs on donations, wide array of MediaWiki features, wide array of allowed types of wikis and content, much autonomy for projects, custom domain and private wiki options
• wiki.gg - started in 2022 by former Gamepedia staff, limited to video games, accent on involvement of game devs and thus hosting official wikis, has ads for anons (but only of games having wikis here)
• Telepedia - started in 2022, limited to entertainment (although might allow other themes upon review), has ads for anons, replicates Miraheze structure
• WikiTide - started in 2023, no ads and runs on donations (but also tied w/ premium version called WikiForge), largely replicates Miraheze but has stricter content policies, custom domain option

Other free options I’m aware of are either too limited in allowed content or are very outdated/unstable in technical department to recommend here (or in case of Neoseeker - I’m completely unfamiliar with it, and can’t say anything about it), but you still can check them out, alongside paid hostings, on this MediaWiki page.

If you (or your community) are brave and dedicated enough you can go with self-hosted MediaWiki instance (aka independent hosting), like JoJo Wiki (who started on Wikia and succeed at overtaking the SEO) or NIWA wikis. This option, of course, requires funding and technical knowledge, but it’s still very much possible.

How to find existing alternative/independent wikis

• try to use “-fandom” filter for search query in Google, or use other search engines like Bing or DuckDuckGo
• Indie Wiki Buddy browser extension - it modifies search engine results and performs redirects based on its centralized list of independent wikis; a new indie wiki has to be requested/submitted to get added [ Firefox / Chrome ]
• Redirect to wiki.gg browser extension - same as IWB but for wikis moved to wiki.gg (as I understand, works automatically without dedicated listing) [ Firefox / Chrome ]
• (simple) Redirector browser extension - in case the wiki is neither on IWB or wiki.gg, and it doesn’t filter out search results - only performs redirect on whatever you get; a redirect has to be set manually - see this tutorial [ Firefox / Chrome ]

Fuck FANDOM, support real people, support indie wikis

Here we go. I have taken this off becuase my Discord account got hacked. But now I got a new one and it back to having my name again. I feel more comfortable posting this here again.

Transactions are made on PayPal only and it is an up front payment before I start the commission. And I’ll send an invoice after agreeing on what you would like.

I’ll regularly update as best as I can on the working progresses and ask if there any changes needed on the working piece. Please please do not share the finished work or the working progress on profitable site.

DM me through Tumblr or my Discord account, fernfluffington if you’re interested or have any questions.

Here are more examples of my Art Fight Attacks of what I’m capable of doing.

If you’re requesting characters that are ocs, shows, games or any other media, please provide me references, as I may or may not know certain characters from media.

Please note that I have the right to refuse any commission that is problematic, hateful, anything on “What I will NOT draw” or anything I find uncomfortable.

oh nO i just got hit by the new layout

ITS SO UGLY?? IT LOOKS LIKE TWITTER BUT WORSE?? BRING BACK MY OLD DASHBOARD PLEASE?? WHAT IS THIS??? This actively makes me want to avoid going on to tumblr y i k e s

@staff where can i leave feedback to get this changed back ASAP?

alright guys buckle up, if we don’t want this desktop to become the new norm here’s what you gotta do:

You gotta open up tumblr support. You’ll can to type it in directly and it works with just putting down tumblr.com/support (feel free to copy and paste),

Its gonna take you to something that looks like this:

Click on the category and change it to feedback:

You can select your main blog or a side blog, whatever you’re seeing the new desktop on, and and then leave some feedback. Be respectful if you can, the picture isn’t required but I figured a visual always helps.

Select I am not a robot and submit your feedback. 

It doesn’t need to be super detailed, just take two minutes to write something so we can avoid having this site turn into the ugly twitter layout.

Making posts isn’t enough, we need to leave feedback directly

(If you’ve already submitted feedback, please reblog this so others who haven’t know how they can, every piece of feedback given will help)

Good luck!

I’d like to quickly add: if you haven’t already left feedback-

PLEASE leave feedback EVEN IF YOU ARE CURRENTLY USING XKIT 

not all of us can do that, and we shouldn’t have to. if enough people leave feedback and not just make vent posts about how much they dislike this new update and use a workaround, we CAN get the old desktop back and not have to use a bunch of extra add-ons to get back to the old desktop. But this will only work if EVERYONE IS LEAVING FEEDBACK DIRECTLY,

even if it no longer inconveniences you because you have xkit, please consider leaving feedback. The @staff​ of tumblr actually listens to feedback but only if you leave it.

Artists, let’s talk about Instagram commission scammers

There’s been a huge rise in commission scammers recently, mostly on Instagram. A lot of new artists don’t know what to look out for, so I figured this might help people.

How they begin

Usually the scammer will write to you asking about a commission. Something deceptively cute - mostly I encounter asks about pet portraits, with one or two photos sent. They’ll probably try to sell you a sweet little story, like “It’s for my son’s birthday”. They will insist that they love your artwork and style, even though they don’t follow you or never liked a single piece of your art.

What to look out for:

1. Their profiles will either be private, empty, or filled with very generic stuff, dating at most a few years back.
2. Their language will be very simple, rushed or downright bad. They might use weird emojis that nobody ever uses. They will probably send impatient “??” when you don’t answer immediately. They’re in a crunch - lots of people to scam, you know. 
3. They’ll give you absolutely no guidelines. No hints on style, contents aside from (usually) the pet and often a name written on the artwork, no theme. Anything you draw will be perfect. Full artistic freedom. In reality they don’t really care for this part.
4. They’ll offer you a ridiculous amount of money. Usually 100 or 300 USD. They’ll often put in a phrase like “I am willing to compensate you financially” and “I want the best you can draw”, peppered with vague praise. It will most likely sound way too good to be true. That’s because it is.

Where the scam actually happens

If you agree, they will ask you for a payment method. They’ll try to get to this part as soon as possible. 

Usually, they’ll insist on PayPal. And not just any PayPal. They’ll always insist on sending you a transfer immediately. None of that PayPal Invoice stuff (although some do have methods for that, too). They’ll really, REALLY want to get your PayPal email address and name for the transfer - that’s what they’re after. If you insist on any other method, they’ll just circle back to the transfer “for easiest method”. If you do provide them with the info, most likely you’ll soon get a scam email. It most likely be a message with a link that will ultimately lead to bleeding you dry. Never, and I mean NEVER click on any emails or links you get from them. It’s like with any other scam emails you can ever get.

A few things can happen here:

• They overpay you and ask for the difference to be wired back. Usually it will go to a different account and you’ll never see that money again. 
• They’ll overpay you “for shipping costs” and ask you to forward the difference to their shipping company. Just like before, you’ll never see that money again.
• The actual owner of the account (yes, they most likely use stolen accounts to wire from) will realize there’s been something sketchy going on and request a refund via official channels. Your account will be charged with fees and/or you get in trouble for fraudulent transactions. 
• You will transfer the money from your PayPal credit to your bank account and they will make a shitstorm when they want their money back, making your life a living hell. They will call you a scammer, a thief, make wild claims, wearing you down and forcing you into wiring money “back” - aka to their final destination account. 

Never, EVER wire money to anyone. This is not how it’s supposed to go. Use PayPal Invoice for secure exchanges where the client needs to provide you with their email, not the other way around.

You can find more info on that method HERE.

What to do when you encounter a scammer:

• Ask the right questions: inquire about the style, which artwork of yours they like, as much details as you can. They won’t supply you with any good answers.
• Don’t let the rush of the exchange, their praise and the promise of insanely good money to get to you. That’s how they operate, that’s how they make you lose vigilance. 
• Don’t engage them. As soon as you realize it might be a scam, block them. The sense of urgency they create with their rushed exchange, and pressure they put on you will sooner or later get to you and you might do something that you’ll regret later.
• Never wire money to anyone. Never give out your personal data. Never provide your email, name, address or credit card info. 
• Don’t be deceived by receiving a payment, if you somehow agree to go along with it. Just because it’s there now doesn’t mean it can’t be withdrawn. 

Here is a very standard example of such an exchange. I realized it’s a scam pretty fast and went along with it, because I wanted good screenshots for you guys, so I tried going very “by the book” with it. 

Please share this post, make it reach as many artists as possible. Let young or inexperienced artists know that this is going on. So many people have no idea that this is a thing. Let’s help each other out. If you think I missed any relevant info, do add it as an rb!

Also, if you know other scam methods that you think should be shared, consider rb-ing this post with them below. Having a master post of scam protection would AWESOME to have in the art community.

This has literally happened to me like twice, I didnt get scammed cus I got the sense of spmething weird IMMEDIATELY, as someone who has had real commissions it was easy to notice but this is really REALLY common be careful out there!
