Happy international Women's day to my fellow women! I hope you have a lovely weekend and an even lovelier March! I have nothing but love and admiration for women and everything we have achieved and continue to achieve, and for simply being ourselves and existing    it doesn't matter what you are doing right now in life and what state you are in, thank you for simply existing as a woman and being yourself.
You deserve greatness and happiness
If you are not a woman, be sure to thank the women in your life and share your love with them :] we are cool and amazing

If your character profile has a lot of blinkies, flashing gifs, or eyestrain, please don't send it to me! I see a lot of TH profiles, character profiles and warning pages filled with flashing gifts or  layouts that mimic myspace or scenecore that often have a lot of eye bleeding colors, flashing imgs and gifs and it is really dangerous for people with epilepsy to be exposed to that!
I have photosensitivity that lately has gotten worse because of that! So I feel the need to make it more apparent but don't really know how to go about it.. I might put a warning on my commission page about it!
 Seeing intense vibrant colors and even direct sunlight gives me migraines, patches of darkness in my vision and tiredness, blurry vision etc, flashes almost give me temp blindness and make me sick , my eyes are very weak and sensitive! (it's not an issue that requires glasses because my eyesight is fine, it's just specific colors that trigger these episodes) so if your character has a profile page that's straining on the eyes, just send me the character reference individually and not the profile itself!
If you think your character profile or OC color palette fits the criteria and want to ask, then it probably does, otherwise you wouldn't ask yourself that in the first place! I'm not trying to stop anyone from decorating their profile however they want, I love making blinkies and gifs myself and most of the time it's ok but I rather not risk it anymore given that it's gotten worse lately!
99% of the time the characters I am asked to draw are perfectly fine and it doesn't apply to them!!!! Even if your character has a more contrasting color palette it's fine as long as it's not neon contrasting! What mostly hurts my vision is intense neon colors and specific color combos (like the neon red-blue-yellow or neon pink-purple-black etc) and the over the top blinking images and gifs and sparklies people put on their profiles ;_; or straight up flashing images
Just send me a direct image rather than the entire profile or your toyhouse! 

Does anyone play Toontown Rewritten?

Posted 3 months, 22 days ago by Laurel

I grew up with Toontown online, it was a big part of my childhood and is the reason why I learned to speak english in the first place ( I used to do roleplays and the speedchat taught me the basics/ had a youtube channel LOL) although the current toontown has a lot of different things, I recently got back into it and was wondering if anyone else here plays it and would like to be friends? I also play corporate clash, just not as much because it's even harder to find active players there :[.
I don't mind starting an entirely new toon to play with someone from scratch if they'd like ^^
Just HMU on here or on discord (Laurelz) if you wanna be pals on there :D!! 

Please read!

Hello! I feel like I need to address a few things due to what I’ve been seeing as of late. I have never been this vulnerable publicly before when it comes to my own art and I am sorry if it comes off wrong. Before I start, though, I want to clarify this is no way me calling out anyone in particular, or trying to be inflammatory or upsetting (I’m sure we all know how this platform can be at times and I have zero intention to feed into things of that nature and I am extremely nervous to speak up in the first place) 


I’ve noticed some people unmistakably referencing my art and designs, and whilst I truly encourage inspiration and think it’s great, I've grown to feel uncomfortable and doubtful with my own art lately because of it , I have always struggled with fluctuating feelings of confidence towards everything I make, therefore I may delete this later if I feel I am being too sensitive.


Please do not specifically reference off a design of mine in a way where your own design closely replicates mine. Especially designs people have paid for and personal characters of mine ( most of them are locked anyway, I might erase the authorization list I created previously, apologies if you are on it)

Please do not directly copy faces I’ve drawn, bodies, anatomy( my anatomy is very flawed in the first place I truly suggest looking up other references) I’ve drawn etc as well. These kinds of things step too close to comfort, and I feel nervous being put in a position where I doubt my own art and have to sit with feelings of discomfort about it. 


Again, inspiration is fine. Truly, I am the last person to try and gatekeep an aesthetic or something silly like that, it's moreso about the way I stylize faces, bodies and features, etc... Liking another artists work is something we all do, and that can be a beautiful thing, I enjoy being part of such a large and diverse art community despite mostly staying in my bubble, I enjoy sharing tips and ideas with other artists and growing off of it but again I've always preferred being in my own bubble and not interacting much with others, I've seen people refer to me as a sought after designer, and while that is flattering I much rather enjoy people who genuinely like my designs because they resonate with them instead of wanting to use them for things such as "trade fodder" , I appreciate everyone who chooses to support my work no matter what their intentions are even if i have mixed feelings as a person(meaning if they choose to use a design or character of mine for further trading it is out of my control, it no longer belongs to me.) 


This isn’t about originality, I’m inspired off of things all the time , including many artists works all of the time! It’s about crossing my personal boundaries and simply stepping too close for comfort. My art is dear to me, and I think it’s reasonable for an artist to want to protect their work in this way. I hope my message is clear and doesn’t upset anyone or cause any ill-feelings. !

Please refrain from commenting or messaging me regarding this, I am not asking for attention it would only make me more anxious, I just wanted to get this off my chest, I am nervous being personal online. I do not want to cause negativity

Thank you so much for reading
