i'm b. belltether and i make comics, illustrations, 3D models, and stories about my profusion of pathfinder/ttrpg characters.
A black and white illustration of a large figure in dark armor standing in defense of a smaller, cowering figure as eyes gleam from the darkness. A man and a woman dance beneath bobbing lanterns, surrounded by flowers. A woman wearing a cracked visor stares with determination as her eye gleams. A low-poly 3D model of a woman in armor.

what if i made a nsfw side account. what if.
aw man OKAY WELL, i'm really glad to know that! made my day!
perchance a solution to "i kind of like being able to post my art and have people see it" and accepting the inherent (new) risk of "termination under TOS" for my desire to ruin hannie's life with sex pollen
what if i made a nsfw side account. what if.

A bit late but I want to share my girlies
Digital drawing of two witches. One clad in a deep teal dress has her arms around the waist of the other witch who sits in the lap of the witch with a teal dress. This other with wears a stripped multicolour skirt, and a purple top with big poofy arms covered in starts and moons. From the top of her head, tentacles flow out like hair. One of her arms is hairy like an ape, and the other is fleshy covered in a pattern of dark eyes. These arms are wrapped around the neck of the first witch. a series of 3 digital sketches of two witches. First one depicts the two holding hands, the second one depicts a red haired witch with tentacle hair laying her head against the shoulder of a white haired wearing a headpiece with a unicorn horn that sits on her forehead. The last sketch depicts the red haired witch lying down resting against the white haired witch, with the white haired witch's arm wrapped around the red haired witch. Digital coloured drawing of the chimera witch Digital coloured drawing of the unicorn witch

idk! deeply unclear, to me, whether promoting off-site content would be treated the same as site-hosted content. maybe it's fine! maybe not. 🤷
the attached full announcement & discussion, but as pertains to this thread: fictional/illustrated depictions of nonconsent are explicitly prohibited, but no clarity on definitions/evaluation. bsky has not responded (to me directly, or that i've seen) on how this will be evaluated / enforced
Thank you to the 14,000+ people who shared feedback on our community guidelines! We’re updating our rules for clarity, strengthening enforcement, and introducing product changes for healthier conversations. New guidelines kick in Oct 15. bsky.social/about/blog/0...

I think a lot of porn doesn’t get credit for how pretty and emotive it is. I’ll always find it kinda wild how one of the biggest, most powerful drives of the human psyche is treated similarly to shitting ones pants

Uncleaned and unfinished, but it's been a wacky few weeks and I missed Feren very much. Her song keeps me going. 🦋✨

Sketch of Feren Shion-Wainridge, OP's Lancer RPG character, in her public persona as the musician sOna. She is a fair-skinned woman with long, pink hair singing into a microphone while wearing a glittery, light blue ballroom-style gown and gloves.
ANYWAY. yet another long, pointless thread with no helpful conclusions. i hate that the internet has become so small, and so restricted, and so scrubbed down that there's very few places left to make & share (even lightly) weird pervert art. this sucks.
but i'm just someone who casually likes to draw a lil fat lady getting fey sex-pollened. it's not the Whole of what i make or share; it's barely any of it, really. it's so much worse for anyone making their living on erotic content.
i admit part of this is just being mad about being told "you can't" or "your work MUST include X, Y, Z markers of consent OR ELSE." fuck youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

i don't want to HAVE to put a little sticker on it. i don't want to HAVE to design my Situations for a sanitized standard
all of this is moot, btw, if you're fine accepting that at any moment your account/hosting/etc can be terminated, including for retroactive violations. that you're completely vulnerable to anyone who WANTS to get you in trouble reporting you and knowing the service you're using won't side with you
i was joking about xeroxing zines last month, but that was one of the other, very few, options; making an online storefront, and accepting mail order checks in return for physical media. what fucking year do we LIVE in, l o l
but the whole experience has been a depressing window into how restrictive the internet is. even self-hosting FREE content is hard bc MANY hosting services don't allow pornography, to say nothing of the burden of age-verification placed on the individual users
but i'm in line for an account link (sorry. not about to put myself on blast linking to my written erotica. you have to hunt that down yourself). hopefully in the next few weeks it'll come through!
the best solution i currently have is: host it on ao3. which is not really great for artworks and means i can NEVER link a tipjar/monetize this account (which i don't really want to do anyway, so it works out for me, but helps nobody who does this for a living)
i set up a subscribestar as that seems the only platform that can accept this, but... i don't really actually want MONEY or to run a monthly subscription service. also, to get verified you have to show them your follower numbers on social media so, lol.
even hosting it as a ZIP on a cloud storage system violates most TOS, and for the ones it doesn't, the user (me) is responsible for making sure everyone who clicks those links is over 18.
