I was wondering if 2022 or 2023 could be my last year on DA as well. But IDK.



I am not 100% sure but this whole AI thing is a bunch of BS. Sure, it's nice that opt out is the default now, but this still feels really uncalled for. One of my friends on Tumblr and Twitter deleted her old DA account she hasn't used since 2013 because of that. Also, I am gonna see if I can update a chapter of CotWR and such every day. As in change the formatting. I have been working on this manga since 2014 and I am needing to get it done eventually. And some parts of it didn't age too well. It will eventually become a blank state until @Khataclysm can finish it. I might just use DA for that and my ALB3 webcomic when I make it along with other things.



I might end up trying Inkblot because of this. I am also gonna move to these sites if I can:



Tumblr (please follow Chaoticcherryblossombear on Tumblr)



Twitter (@@Sakuraofchaos)



Pixiv (for FGO and Genshin artwork mainly, a lot of which will be translated into Japanese because it's a Japanese website)



Newgrounds



YouTube (I might try VTubing as well on there and go by Ashley Hansen as of now until I can finish my model)



Discord (if only I could find some ideas on how to get people to befriend me via friend code)



ArchiveofourOwn (SakuraofChaos)



Patreon



And just anything else you can think of really. I won't delete my DA account yet and will still keep my core membership, but it just feels dead. It technically was since 2007-2018. I will still keep my DA account in the description of YouTube videos if I can. Unless I delete it.

Yep...figuring it might be time for me to leave too. I'm all for machines having talent of their own, but when it sounds like the "higher ups" want to outright replace actual artists for someone else who'd make it faster and never tire...then it's time for me to bounce along.
