I'm here, I guess?

Tumblr's on fire and Pillowfort's issues give me an increasing lack of confidence, so here I am.

I may start migrating some things eventually. Hey, anyone have any recommendations for slightly more stable sites than Pillowfort to host art on?

Welcome to Dreamwidth!

Twitter is one option for hosting art, although the interface and organization is less than ideal. I haven't logged into DeviantArt in a long while but I assume it is continuing along (perhaps limping along? I don't know). Pixiv is another option to look into. AO3 allows you to upload images, including NSFW art, although the overall interface isn't really optimized for art.

Thanks for the welcome! I've literally just learned about the "reading" page, so I am... making progress. Of sorts.

Twitter is like... I've described it as "everything I disliked about Tumblr as a fandom platform but more." More polarization, more transience, more horrible trolls, more visibility (I was quite comfortable having my blog be unsearchable for years).

Unfortunately, two fandoms I am part of (Overwatch and Critical Role) are heavily twitter-based. For some reason. Ugh.

DeviantArt does still exist! I was under the impression Pixiv is Japanese. And honestly hosting art on Ao3 feels like trying to cook a delicious stew on a cookie sheet. You might be able to. But it's not designed for that and it's going to make a mess. So I'm leaning towards DeviantArt right now even though it feels so much like I've spontaneously reverted to like 2010 or something.
