Deviation Actions
I already have that warning in every website profile description of mine possible and this should go without saying even, but I guess that because of my work usually looking much milder than most TF fetish artists, that still slips by somehow.
So please, do not interact if you are underage, nor take it personal if I ignore or even block you because of it, because it really isn't; you cannot believe the amount of awkward problems that such interactions can give for both sides, no one deserves to deal with that! 
A little bit of venting.
Edit: Thank you guys so much for all the kind comments and awesome feedback, seeing all these definitely helped to remind me how meaningless these potatoey engagement numbers are in the end, I'm feeling much better now!
I might delete this journal at some point in the future as I'm not a big fan of keeping any kind of negativity in my accounts, but again, I really thank you guys for such amazing words! 💖
------------------------------------
I'm kinda negatively impressed from how I have been making all this Flattening/TF content very frequently for more than ten years now, and yet I never got any kind of traction, constantly seeing new artists pop in the scene and already leave my engagement numbers eating dust so quickly in comparison.
I try my best to ignore numbers and this kind of stuff as I'm very aware of how useless and down to luck they can be, but sometimes it's tough, it inevitably makes my brain wonder what I'm doing "wrong" here; maybe my art isn't fetishy/lewd enough?
Twitter Ban
As you guys might have heard already, Twitter/X was recently banned here in Brazil, and this sucks really badly, it was definitely one of my most used websites for sure. Not only for fun, but also for commissions and similar stuff.
It's said to not be permanent, but considering how crappily Elon is handling the situation, this will probably last a long time.
So because of this, maybe I'll start using this journal feature more often to talk about personal stuff or show WIPs and so on.
I do have a BlueSky account, but I cannot lie that posting there is literally that "talking to a brick wall" image meme, there's simply no reach or engagement and I always see even popular artists barely get more than 5 Likes per post there.
I will still continue to use it anyway though: https://bsky.app/profile/whimsicalem.bsky.social

Publicly opening commissions as a Patreon Tier
As some of you guys might already know, not long ago I got my previous computer fried up by a lightning, so I lost access to my commission queue noteblock as unfortunately I wasn't smart enough to save that online. While I still do have a vague idea of the people who wanted to commission me and were in said list, this made me realize that this system just wasn't very pleasant to begin with, it was very hard to maintain it tidy.
So because of this I imagine that slowly transitioning into only taking them there in my Patreon from now on will make things a bit easier for me, as with the limited slots people can always easily know when I'm up for taking them or not, starting with three slots as of now.
I understand that this "first come first served" system might not be the most fair as it can be easy to miss open slots, or if people remain there for too long without leaving and possibly not letting others join. However I don't think I'm not nearly in that level of fame to have such
Might start posting more normal art here too.
Some friends might already know that I have this :iconcalem28: , which was my first DA account before creating this one here, using it to post only the more normal non-fetish art afterwards. But I have to be sincere, while I won't delete it, I really don't see any point in using that account anymore.
At first I used to be embarrassed from getting into drawing all this squishy TF stuff, preferring to separate both kinds of works. And while that can still be benefitial if I were like a famous public figure or artist, after being in this community for so long, I came to the conclusion that this way of thinking is just a complete fabricated lie from our brains, we do not have to worry about this in the slighest really. Not only it doesn't affect our watchers (we can clean away our art watching feed as fast as measly two mouse clicks if we don't like the content!), but that thought of "what if I become famous and people find out my weirdness" is also completely useless and fake, I see
