InsomniaQueen

I posted a comic a while ago (linked below) that was just meant to be silly and a little dark. Anyway, a few perverts added it to their creepy fetish folders. Apparently, there's a fetish for brains (which isn't too surprising; everything is a fetish on this glorious website 🙄).

I'm not one to kink shame, but the characters depicted are minors and it is obvious that they are children due to the last line in the comic. Also, the folders they added my comic to mainly have underage characters in them. That is not okay.

Anyway, I want to make it clear that none of my art is meant to be fetishized. I know I don't have control over what folders people add my art to, but please do not add my art to fetish folders.

The comic:

Sometimes, when I'm scrolling on DeviantART or another social media platform, I'll find an old comment I made, picture I posted, etc. and it'll make me say "What was I thinking?!" I was such a cringy teenager and I was even cringier as an early-twenty-something. It's like I had no self awareness or filter. I acted like a twelve-year-old when I was sixteen (always saying random XD stuff) and acted like a sixteen-year-old when I was twenty-one (always making raunchy jokes like some crappy Adult Swim show). It's hard for me to comprehend why I acted that way because I'm so different now. It's like I had no idea that there were real people seeing what I said and did online.

I need to stop obsessing over how I acted in the past. I think I have OCD. It runs in my family and I have so many OCD tendencies. My anxiety medicine does help. Thanks, Zoloft! 👍 But some days, like today, I'll spiral and obsess over silly things. I'm trying to be a successful children's author and teacher, but sometimes I worry something immature or crass I said or posted on the internet will ruin all that.

I wonder if in five years, I'll look at the stuff I'm doing now and cringe.

Does anyone want my group https://www.deviantart.com/all-pinkie-art? I still love My Little Pony and Pinkie Pie (though Fluttershy is my favorite now) but I've mainly been active on the DeviantART app since Eclipse became a thing and I can't moderate the group through there, so a lot of people's submissions have expired. I'd like to pass the group on to someone else. Please comment here if you're interested. :)

Edit: I will stay on as co-founder, but will pass the founder roll to someone else.
