• INTRODUCTION

Check my 'intro' highlights for more details before proceeding. My main focus would be posting about Attack on Titan (進撃の巨人), and multifandom stuff will come soon.By the nature of Attack on Titan’s story, I focus on the darker and realistic side rather than romantic/shipping aspects. By reading my rules, you’re already informed and conscious about interacting with me.────────What to expect on my profile:Personal highlights - Meet The Artist (in progress), 'add yours' template, art dump, hobbies and interests. No personal updates will be shown; this includes face reveals or any other information that would reveal my identity.OC highlights - My main OCs (Anastasia, Akira, Hugo), OC challenges, OC templates, OC ship (Reiner x Anastasia), and the rest of my OCs will be shown here. I have > 10 OCs in Attack on Titan, and do crossovers with the main trio.Fandom stuff - Attack on Titan (main fandom), and others (animanga, books, series, video games)Posts - my artworks + writings, art collabs

₊⊹ NO DOUBLE STANDARD. I read and respect your boundaries, and I expect you to do the same. Learn about basic fandom etiquette and nuance. I’ve been in fandoms since 2010 and will not engage with people without any decency.🚫 DO NOT INTERACT & INSTANT BLOCK - If you use generative AI for fun, trend, your "artwork" or to write your fanfiction.I study and work in the creative industry for nearly a decade, and unfortunately gen AI has been integrated with the industry’s standard, which I consciously choose to avoid any time I can.At the very least, I do not want to engage in unethical work in my personal and creative space. This includes, and is not limited to:Generating AI art - tracing, using AI as a reference, stealing from another artist.Using AI to write - brainstorming, writing an Instagram caption, fixing your fanfic in ChatGPT/other gen AI software.₊⊹ Do not follow me if you’re only in it for performative or transactional reasons (for me to repost your content/free promotion). I prefer genuine interaction and am not mindless about reposting.₊⊹ Unless it's about serious issues like plagiarism or targeted attacks, do not involve me in any fandom discourse, this includes ‘ship wars’ and drama in the fanartists/fanfic community. Do not ask me why I don't follow/interact with certain people. Any form of information seeking will not be entertained.₊⊹ I have an open-door policy and will always be open to discussion, and I only block people as a last resort. If you block me without explanation, esp. when I know I don’t do anything to prompt you to do so, I will block you back, and there will be no unblocking.⚠️ I’m under no obligation to know who you like/don’t like/have a problem with in the community, esp over trivial things like:- Person A has the same/similar name as your OC. Names are as old as time and you cannot claim names.
- Person A has a SINGLE feature/lore/element that’s the same, or similar to yours.A solution: you can copyright your work, set your account to private, post on a moderated website, or get off the internet.I can distinguish actual plagiarism because I have been plagiarized by irresponsible people, both in professional life and fandom spaces. You can discuss it with me directly instead of fostering an unhealthy environment.₊⊹ DNI if you engage in/promote: bullying, hate speech, harassment and threats. This includes racism, sexism, homophobia, Islamophobia, ableism, or any form of discrimination towards marginalized groups.⚠️ Anonymous or not, any hate will result in doxing. I do this because I have people coming to my Tumblr inbox with burner accounts since I never turn on anon asks.I apply the 'talk shit, get hit' policy on every platform - if you’re comfortable enough to type it, you either say it to my face without hiding under false identities or block me. I don't have time to spoon-feed people who claim to be adults in online interactions.

❗️I try my best to be informed and mindful in my interactions. I do not enjoy hard blocking people unless it’s a serious issue. My block list on every platform is:
- People who use gen AI.- Minors (except on Instagram, since I don’t post NSFW content there) and blank accounts.- People who repost other artists' work without crediting them.- People who actively attack and harass others. I don’t have Twitter/TikTok for this reason, and I block them on my Tumblr if they follow me there.- A non-sharer who interacts with me first.I may sound crass, but for context's sake, none of them were nice. I have encountered unpleasant interactions from non-sharers on my Tumblr, from ripping off my stories, claiming a character as theirs, to unreasonable demands for me to stop shipping my OCs with canon characters.I have mutuals who are non-sharers, and we treat each other fairly and respectfully. To my understanding, a non-sharer is someone who doesn’t want to interact with anyone who ships with the same characters as them, and not because they claim a character as theirs.More details below.────────⚠️ ABOUT SHIPPINGMy accounts are centered around Attack On Titan - Reiner Braun and Anastasia Köhler (my original character)’s ship.I also ship them with other canon characters, and ship my OCs with other people’s OCs. I’m multiship friendly, which includes LGBTQ+ and non-romantic ones (found family, platonic, crackship), and I simply don’t interact if I don’t like them, however I never resort to blocking.⚠️ Be aware that I cannot keep track of every single shipping status. If I follow a person who ships with the same characters as you, I personally have no problem with them because my social media accounts are sharing-friendly. You can block them, and if you’re uncomfortable with me for supporting them, you can block me, too.────────All my ships are SHARING. Boundaries on other people (outside of my mutuals/friends on other platforms) who are non-sharers are stated below:🚫 For others (if we don’t follow each other) - DO NOT INTERACT if you’re a non-sharer, gatekeeping behavior is not welcome anywhere on my platforms. I’ve dealt with people who ignored my ship, my DNI that’s been all over my profile and said horrible things in my inbox about my ships. And it’s unfair that you want to interact with fanworks but you don’t support other people’s ships.If you consciously browse the fandom tag, where everyone has the right to use it and you feel the need to come to my inbox and disregard all of my boundaries, claiming I’m a double/dupe invading your ‘safe space’, that’s a you problem to sort out. Blocking me would’ve sufficed instead of coming to my profile, because I didn’t know you existed until then. Being a non-sharer is your choice and not for me to cater to you.If you claim a character - someone else’s intellectual property - no matter how popular/not the franchise is, to be exclusively yours (i.e. you’re in a parasocial relationship), no offense, but I’m under no obligation to figure out the underlying cause for your actions. You will be blocked and reported for harassment.────────

Guidelines and boundaries

You can find a detailed guideline about my ships and boundaries here. For more information about my original characters, you can check my Instagram page.────────IMPORTANT - I'm not a selfshipper. My OCs are a form of creative expression and not my persona, self-insert, or an idealized version of myself.I created my OCs and world-building to sharpen my writing skills and explore various topics, and not as a form of wish fulfillment or to supplement a lack of real-life stuff (i.e friendships, love life, etc). None of their design are based on me/my personality, my characters are their own people.────────I'm a multishipper and interact with canon/fanon ships, which include LGBTQ+ ships and non-romantic ones. I simply won't interact if I don't like them.Do not interact with me if you're a non-sharing selfshipper, or if you feel so strongly about a certain ship. You're responsible for your internet experience, and if you don't like what you see, you can block me.

Communities: Attack on Writing, Own Our Archive, Shingeki no Creatives
Tumblr & multifandom networks: @pixelcafenetwork and others.₊⊹ You must be at least 18 years old and have a Tumblr account to interact, with a customised profile and your age visible. I block minors and blank blogs regularly.I can't post much on Instagram due to AI training (Tumblr has a feature to protect my works from gen AI) and content moderation TOS. I disabled the third-party search engine out of respect for my Tumblr friends' privacy, and it will remain unchanged.₊⊹ My works are not spoiler-free. SFW, NSFW (on Tumblr only), multiship*, and dark content-friendly, incl. Dead Dove - under the condition it is done realistically and respectfully, and not a free pass for bigotry and glorification of said topics.I tag my content thoroughly, and it is intended for mature and informed adults. I have an open-door policy and am open to discussions.* I'm a multishipper. Reiner and Anastasia (AnaRei/ReiNastasia) is my OTP, but I also ship Reiner/Ana with other canon characters. I also have a polyship in other AUs with Anastasia, Reiner, and Jean (AnaReiJean). I interact with canon & fanon ships, including LGBTQ+ ships.IMPORTANT - Shipping is not solely for romantic purposes. I love found family, platonic and crackship as well. If this is an issue for you, my account is not for you.I'm open to shipping my main OCs - Anastasia, Akira, Hugo - with yours, if we're mutuals/have an established bond.

UPDATED ON SEPT. 6 - Detailed 'About Me' sheet, and a list of tools I use is in the works.You can find my social media accounts by clicking the icons above. My personal Instagram, Discord, etc. are for close friends only. I don't follow/interact with my OC instagram account with my personal accounts for privacy reasons, and to not manipulate engagements.If we follow each other there, do not share my account elsewhere.

❔FAQ - I’ve received some questions about my OC and my works, and answered them privately because I never allow anon questions since I returned to Tumblr in 2024. For context, I was on Tumblr from 2010 - 2021, overlapping with multiple platforms such as Wattpad, AO3, WeHeartIt, 8tracks, fanfiction.net and LiveJournal (Yes, I’m that old).I wasn’t sure if the messengers wanted it to be published so, here are the answers if I haven’t answered yours already ⬇️Q: When did you start all of these stuffs?
Here’s the timeline,2006 - I started drawing 🎨 along with my other hobbies. I hang out with my late grandpa (may he rest in peace) a lot, and he has influenced me in every form of art.2008 - 2018 - I hand write my fics. I still do this sometimes 🗒️🖊️2010 - I joined Tumblr. The best decision I’ve ever made because it was the golden age of fandoms, and I got to meet wonderful people.2012 - 2015 - I used to write on my iPod touch 4’s Notes app and transferred it to Wattpad on my school computer. I was born and raised an Asian (🇸🇦, paternal) despite my other heritages (🇵🇱🇳🇱, maternal) and my family was pretty strict about tech. All I had was a moderated family computer.2015 - I got my first laptop and went on a frenzy with my work. I still use the same laptop and it has witnessed every stage of my life - my college application, my first digital arts, my old fic archives, my first portfolio, literally everything that it has become my treasure chest 💻2018 - I started roleplaying and started professional character designing. I have avatars and sims since I was a kid but I don’t think that counts? But I’ll type in anyway.2020 - I made Anastasia, my first and personal OC. I made her parents and her Titan around this time too, and the rest of my OCs follow.2024 - restarted my blog because I lost access to my old one 🥀. I was hesitant to put myself out here until I met the right people. One sentence that has changed me is from one of my roleplay friends,“I can’t wait to meet your OC!”And that’s it.────────Q: Why haven’t you published any of your work?English is not my first language, so I wrote everything in three different languages - my native language and my double heritage ones. It’s comprehensive, and I can translate it for my friends to read. However, it's approx. >1 million words (combined from all the things I’ve written) and I can only translate so much before I get exhausted.My fics are scattered in my notebook, Notes app, and Notion pages. Sometimes I write in between my sketches. Very disorganized but I love what I do. With that said, I do this strictly as a hobby.I work in the creative industries and I don’t wanna put unnecessary pressure on myself, because my job is already stressful enough. For once I wanna do things without worrying about monetization or engagement (likes, hits, kudos, unsolicited 'advice' by people who don’t know shit etc).i’ve been going back and forth between publishing one of my fics either on Tumblr / AO3, but I refrain from doing so due to the AI scraping incident and how fandom culture has changed for the worse.────────Q: Will you ever publish your work? (here / AO3 / anywhere else?)Short answer - no, not in public sites. I give a very limited access to my blogs too, and if worse comes to worst, I’ll archive/deactivate and unlikely go somewhere else. I may write an announcement before I do so.Long answer - no. I have stated it before but to reiterate, my works are personal. Anything I share on here/any of my platforms is either an art/writing challenge or a gift exchange.I’m in a few Discord servers where I share it with friends alike and I enjoy it there. I don’t want my works to be perused by strangers on the internet, how vitriolic people can be and how fandom culture has changed solidified my decision to not do it.I just can’t find it in me to be dragged into a competition / drama I never signed up for. I’ve been in fandoms since 2010 and I still stand by my point - fandoms are a place to have fun and celebrate the author and their creations. I don’t entertain anything beyond that.
