id like to thank the venom fandom, the true last bastion of nsfw fanart on this hellsite. ive been here for like seven years and its just so fitting that the last explosion of horny art, the last gasp if you will, was lovingly rendered monsterfucking slime tenderly jacking off its host, tom hardy
I love how their post says “A better, more positive Tumblr” as if female nipples are what’s ruining the experience on this website and not bullies, racists, homophobes and actual nazis
Go to the BLOGS on the bottom right corner. Click the one you want to back up.
There will be a back up option in the very bottom of the options.
WordPress doesn’t work for me. The backup stucked for some reason. I left the Tumblr backup page running on my work PC. Let’s see whether it’s working or not tomorrow (it’s showing “back up in progress on my home PC too)
If both ways fail, well, my own art are stored in my PC, but I will be more sad to see the tags and comments gone than anything.
Both my twitter and DA accounts are eabevella so you can still find me there.
HOLD ON OP OH BOY I GOT JUST THE RIGHT STUFF FOR YOU.
First of all, here is a link to great back up resources. I did the Python method instead of Tumblrthee and it worked even though I have like 131k+ posts on my blog.
Second of all, please relax! We still have some time before Dec 17. I support you wholeheartedly OP so don’t go dying on me. Tumblr’s backup options are shite, so definitely use Python or different backup systems to get your posts archived safely!
that’s why i’ve been procrastinating. (opens agent venom) (symbiote is enslaved and the moral question of whether this is acceptable is whether it is too dangerous to be exploited) (closes agent venom)
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHH.
this is cates’ favourite run to the point where he did that tribute issue to it.
oh, buddy. oh, man. finally i fucking know where he got it from, word for word.
this anti-venom deal keeps getting weirder. i’d been on my way to considering that maybe the later writers DID realise that eddie hadn’t changed for shit, wasn’t inherently a better person without the symbiote and kept all the same delusions and denials as the least reliable narrator to ever narrate anything, but then…! people sure do seem to take it at face value, at least!
i’m never going to be able to take “you miss it when it’s gone” as an eye-opening accusation, jesus christ. it’s called an emotion. extreme attachment to a person can be unhealthy but to equate it to addiction to a substance… stripping the symbiote of personhood is the only way to do it… saying that it means nothing beyond power and adrenaline… and is constantly done. gh…
imagine hearing this under any other circumstances. imagine missing your partner being described as “waiting for your next fix”. oh wait there is a part of the population this has happened to isn’t there.
i’m losing it. this could so blatantly be read as “eddie is looking for someone to blame and to rationalise lingering feelings for the symbiote away” and it’s just. is it really just not that? is it just… what???
And not to get too much into The Discourse™️ here but like. The whole Christian-religious fanaticism element of Anti-Venom kinda skeeves me out in this context, especially considering the queer overtones of the mid to late 90s Venom comics? After those, we suddenly get Eddie having this bizarre Christian zealot awakening while also having the revelation that the very thing he loved is in fact a “demon” and a “corruption” that must be “cured” or “cleansed” and I’m just. HMMMMMMMMM. I don’t think there was any deliberate malice in the writing here but it still makes me feel icky tbh.

it always a huge relief when you *feel* something but you can’t Do The Words and some awesome person who feels the same way Does The Words
Happy Hanukkah, everyone, from these two jerks! I’m posting this a little early this year. Line art by the amazing Ro Stein & Ted Brandt, and colour art by @deecunniffe.
I want to point out what a technical achievement this story is on the art side. There’s a real joy to creating a whole story in eight panels, but this? This is some magic. We introduce four new characters. In panel 5, SIX PEOPLE are talking. SIX. In the world of comics, that’s almost un-doable.
Yet Ro and Ted arranged everything so the conversations flow and are sensibly grouped, all the “acting” is fantastic, and then Dee laid on top these beautiful, almost fairytale colours – look at the subtle work, the blush in Henry’s cheeks, Frank’s five o-clock shadow, the shine of the wine bottle’s glass surface, the light texturing in the backgrounds… and of course the snow! This is some first-class illustration work on an incredibly hard script. (I fear Ro and Ted always get me at my worst – my very formalist script for them in the 24 Panels anthology was no cakewalk either. (The problem is, they’re just so damn good at it… check out their work on the Image comic Crowded!)

In response to the NSFW ban being enacted by Tumblr Staff, on December 17th 2018 I propose that we all log off of our Tumblr accounts for 24 hours.
The lack of respect and communication between staff and users is stark. Users have been begging staff to delete the porn bot outbreak, which has plagued the website for well over a year. The porn bots oftentimes send people asks and messages, trying to get them to go to a website full of viruses. They also spam advertisements on others posts.
Users have also begged that Tumblr ban neo-nazis, child porn, and pedophiles, all which run rampant on the site. The site/app got so bad that it was taken off the app store.
However, instead of answering the users, Tumblr has instead taken the liberty to ban all NSFW content, regardless of age. But users have already run into issues of their SFW content being marked as sensitive and being flagged as NSFW, not allowing them to share their work.
Not only does this discriminate again content creators, but it also discriminates against sex workers. Disgustingly, the ban will be enacted on December 17 which is also International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers.
This ban is disgusting, and while I (and plenty of others) welcome porn bots and child porn being banned, the Tumblr filtration system is broken. It tags artistic work’s nipples as NSFW (when it is art), it tags SFW art as NSFW (when it is not), and does not stop the porn bots, neo-nazis and dozens of other issues.
This ban is discriminatory. This ban is ineffective. This ban is unacceptable.
To protest, log off of your Tumblr account for the entirety of November 17th. Log off at 12 am EST or 9PM PST and stay off for 24 hours. Don’t post. Don’t log on. Don’t even visit the website. Don’t give them that sweet ad revenue.
Tumblr’s stock has already taken a hard hit. Let’s make it tank. Maybe then they will listen to the users.
