This is fine "Parodie picture" Recut

Hello there, I wanted to take a moment of your time to talk in earnest about some issues in the current times. I appreciate you all reading this because it's important:

As of right now I have 3 major problems that are bothering me and which I have no control over.

The first one I was almost feeling better about with some time and reflection:

• 1): Ai copy

  For a while ago there seem to be more and more people who think it's funny to take my art style (which is very easy to notice when it fails to replicate my watermark)

  And to say nothing of the scammers who act like it's easy money to take all the work I've put work on throughout the years to achieve my current level (Even it's far to be perfect)

  But this year I've noticed that there are too many people who are trying to do both things at the same time and they will never reach my quality bar for content. I believe that if you like my art style you should at least follow the original artist instead of trying to copy them (in this case me).

  Some of these people have given up on trying to reach me, so I'm more or less fine on that point now.

  So i'm feeling alright with that point now.

  It's possible than some people took my identity, I want to make it extremely clear that I will never contact people on any other place with an official account that's not: Patreon / SubscribeStar / Derpibooru / Newground / E621 / Twitter / Bluesky / Discord. There are places where I'm active but I barely respond. I will never contact you unless contacted first.

  It's easy to know when it's my true account, just check the post history.

• 2): The EU 18+ identification crisis

  Since the past week Twitter (or X) has become invisible for european users. I can't see butt content myself but I can still post (for now).

  it's pretty recent and the whole internet is changing abruptly. I was always pro-anonymity and this new policy reallt makes me angry but for the moment all I can do it complain. I don't know what to do and I'm waiting for the new rules that will be published in the coming years =/ (Maybe)

  Maybe a lot of people will leave the internet to become real pirates (arrrggg), hard to blame them! Your data security is the most important thing you can have!

• 3): Credit card trouble

  Certainly by far the most dangerous and frightening point for all artist including me.

  If tomorrow these websites refuse to allow you to support an artist like me, I've honestly no idea of what's gonna happen after. I will certainly be opening the commission slot to allow for 50 at a time before the rules change because it might be my last chance to get money! And without money... I can't pay rent.

  I genuinely love to make my content! So I may continue publishing but far, far less.

  I might take the time to work on a big project, certainly a lot of stuff that has nothing to do with pony or adt content. I'm already thinking of re-specializing and returning to studies.

  But don't worry, I have enough money to live comfortably for a time and to think peacefully about all of this, so there's no need to give me money. There are artists who need your support more than i do.

  I really wish this storm cloud wasn't approaching me. Right now it's only really affecting people making videogames and the payment processors are already taking a beating thanks to the persistence of gamers! Don't forget to join them in this!

  It's just become impossible to plan in the medium or long term, or even short these days. Maybe tomorrow I will join some website and my account will be suspended for some weird conservative ideal. I always try to keep politics out of my posts because it's not my domain and you're all here for butts, not for stress. Make love not war.

  I never say thank you enough to the people who've been supporting me for a long time. I hope we can continue for another 10 years but the future looks dark and bleak for now.

  The ride will never end! And see you for the next post :)
