Bio:
Hey there! My name is Tiny, or Reese, or Fayne, or Eric, or Gremlin, or Stinky. All of these are names people call me! Pick your favorite! I was born raised and educated in Alabama and been getting better ever since... I think! I'm kinda dumb in all but one very specific skill that has in recent history, seemed to be working for me! I'll leave it to you to decide what that skill is if you decide to get to know me! For everyone else, here's my art gallery!
My Reason:
I'm an illustrator of the furry community, with the personal goal of making each art piece mean something more to the individual than the final result! One of my mentors Stigmata taught that art is a dialogue and that the final piece people see is a visual representation of both commissioner and artist's newfound empathy. This is my current reason for doing art and if your interests align with that I'd love to work with you!
Interests:
I like playing vidya games, talking on Discord, drawing (obviously), talkin about psychology and philosophy despite knowing very little about either, watching... just... waaay to much youtube, finding new music, taking periodic 20 minute breaks outside, trying to be a good person, and the feeling I get after working out!

Goodbye, Twitter! Hello Bluesky!
a month ago
Okay, so here's the TL;DR:
I'm not on twitter anymore, follow me on bluesky! https://bsky.app/profile/tinydragon.art
I'm going to be banning the posting of my artwork to twitter (not retroactively)!
Elon Musk is an unrepentant plantar wart.
Now the full story! I've deleted everything off of my twitter, except for a few things telling people where they can find me, and I'll occasionally be back there to siphon people out of that hell site run by the worlds richest skid mark.
If you're behind on it, here's the short version:
Twitter is actively malicious to artists and run by a parasite intent on turning what was once the town square into his own personal toy and Nazi site, and Bluesky is currently the #1 social media app.
Now here's the long version.
Elon, since being in charge has proven he's a vapid incompetent. Here's a list of things that has happened under his governance:
Elon being advertiser friendly
- He implemented a system to pay for a blue check mark because he paid double what Twitter was worth and he wanted his money back.
- Initially that was going to be $20 then someone talked him down to $8 publicly
- Business like Eli Lilly lose millions in stock because the newly blue checkmarks imitating these big companies made people think that Eli Lilly promised to make insulin free
- Advertisers have fled because of this and also he told them to "fuck off" (They were fleeing before due to their ads being right next to Nazi posts as well but y'know)
- He's trying to sue advertisers for conspiracy to "mass boycott". This is of course after he told them all to fuck off on live television.
Elon the free speech absolutist
- Elon implements a "you have to call yourself a parody account" protocol (free speech absolutist, remember)
- Elon makes "cis" a slur (free speech absolutist)
- Elon implements "freedom of speech not freedom of reach" protocol, which is just shadowbanning, which is exactly what Twitter was doing before and what "certain" people were complaining about (free speech absolutist)
- Before all this Elon claimed he wanted to buy the site because he is a free speech absolutist
- Elon changes doxxing rules in order to ban twitter account Elonjet which tracked his private jet's location using publicly available flight data (so not doxxing)
- Elon throttles and shadowbans "adult content"
- Elon throttles any posts that link to other sites and threatened to ban anyone who did, but stepped down from that position after being told it violated anti-trust laws and tried to remove all evidence of them ever having tried to do that. Now your post just gets throttled in viewership
Elon the business genius
- Fires essentially all of his moderation staff on twitter and those who weren't fired, quit.
- Tries to bring them back but says they have to be "harcore"
- Rebrands the most recognizable social media brand to a letter of the alphabet.
- Tries to remove the twitter sign on twitter's building, but didn't get the appropriate licenses or whatever and is forced to stop midway
- Instead puts a giant light up "X" on the roof which blasts flood light into what looks like an apartment complex.
- The giant windcatching X is weighed down with fucking sandbags
- Runs a poll asking "Convert Twitter SF HQ into a homeless shelter since no one shows up anyway." (This was of course during the literal pandemic that killed millions)
- Elon changes the block function so that people you block can still see your posts. (This effectively means that if you're an artist or a public figure, you have to leave yourself open to secondhand harassment, or throttle all growth on your twitter by privating your account)
- Lies about their trans child to fellow alleged human, Jordan Peterson. Elon's trans child has Elon blocked. (Not entirely convinced this and the last are unrelated and Elon just did this so they could keep being a creep to their trans child)
- Removes the "opt-out" ability from your posts, and images, and personal information to be scraped and sold or used for AI training (I mean before all of this he was just using memes he stole from people while intentionally cropping out their names so they wouldn't get the credit, so this at least was not an unforeseen happening)
Correction: The "opt out" ability is still there, (Settings -> Privacy and Safety -> Grok, and then uncheck the box), the trouble as I see it spawns from Twitter's updated TOS. >>> "By submitting, posting or displaying Content on or through the Services, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to make your Content available to the rest of the world,” the terms of service said, which includes the right to analyze any of that content “including, for example, for use with and training of our machine learning and artificial intelligence models, whether generative or another type."
-Refused to abide by Brazil's anti-misinformation policies (So put in place after a literal insurrection attempt was organized on and election lies circulated on social media like twitter) and as a result twitter got blocked in Brazil (Brazil is twitter's 5th biggest user... well was twitter's 5th biggest user)
- Elon said he would not be bullied into compliance and censorship and got in a public slap fight with Brazil's Supreme Federal Court judge Alexandre de Moraes
- Elon capitulated to Turkey's (Erdogan's) demands to censor some information on twitter during an election cycle in the country back in 2023 (and by all reports a pretty close election too)
- Elon capitulates to Brazil banning insurrectionists from the website, and appointing a legal representative to Brazil
Elon the inevitable canker sore (politician)
- Elon throws his hat into the ring to support Donald publicly and financially
- Elon offers a $1 million dollar giveaway with his "America PAC" as a prize to registered voters who vote for Donald Trump in swing states (WOW That's SO fucking illegal)
- Is assigned as the head of the new Department of Government Efficiency (Which to me reads like assigning Lauren Bobert as the lead for Department of Theatre Cleanliness but whatever)
- That department then immediately gets TWO leaders (might as well fill it with as many useless people as possible, really sink in the irony, I mean after all, this is just a grift to siphon more money away from the working class)
I put all of this here, because when I bring up any one of these issues I run into a certain reasoning that I don't care for: "It's only one small thing. It's not the end of the world." A notion, I both agree with and disagree with. I agree, if you take each of these things that happened over the course of the 3 years Elon has been in charge of Twitter, barring a few, they are not quote "the end of the world." But consider this quote: "YES CARLA, THEY'RE EACH ONE MISTAKE BUT WHEN YOU ADD EM ALL TOGETHER IT'S LIKE A MILLION MISTAKES!" -J.D. from Scrubs
All of this to say, Elon is not someone I ever want to support, even accidentally or implicitly. He has proven that he is not a good leader for a business, he's not even competent. He has one skill, and that's being a hype man for the businesses he owns so that his overpromising can siphon public and government funding away from businesses and enterprises that do what he tries doing but successfully. Let's not even get into the whole hyperloop scandal that siphoned money away from public transit, or having a guy in a robot suit dance on stage to promise what his robots would be able to do in the far off future of... 2018. Well it's 2024 now, I wonder how his robots are doing... eh I'll look it up later.
SO WHAT HAPPENS NOW
Well, if you've been to my twitter, you'll see, all of the tweets are gone, barring the few I've mentioned before. I have no intention of ever posting my art there again, because it'll just be stolen. To be clear, things that were there are still in twitters system and can be used as Elon sees fit, but going forward, it won't be getting a thing from me. Deleting your posts off of there, won't take them out of twitters records, however it might do a good deal in hurting twitter's search recommendations in internet search optimizations. Something it will definitely do, is inspire people to move elsewhere because the work they like to see won't be there anymore and a lot of artists have already done this, using tweetxer and other mass deletion scripts. If you're interested in doing the same, you can download your twitter archive (Took me about 3 days to get mine) and follow these instructions here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Twitter/co.....eets_for_free/
Fun fact, Elon hasn't even touched the branding on your own personal archive so the html you download will have all twitter branding instead of X.
Furthermore, I'll also be implementing a new policy for my commissions. An "anti-twitter-posting" policy. The point of deleting my work off of that site and never posting again is to avoid twitter's AI scraping. That's kind of pointless if those who commission me, are still posting the art that I do for them on twitter anyway. SO, for all future commissions I will either be going full "not allowed to post to twitter" policy or "Allow me to glaze and blur the image so you can post a shitty version to twitter with a link to the real one over on bluesky" policy. I hope I've at least been clear in why I'm doing this. If I haven't, then I'll try and answer any questions you might have! See you in those bluer skies!
Please be well!
