Regarding "That Game"

You may occasionally see me vent about or allude to a game that I formerly worked for. I prefer not to mention it by name, but I ask that if you are an active part of that game's community and wish to interact that you please understand I was hurt deeply by this game's community, soif you interact I ask that you understand and respect this. I have had issues in the past with people spreading my vents/episodes to mods, invading my private spaces to spy on me, and generally not treating what I went through seriously and I simply have no more tolerance for this anymore.

Content Warning

My art is generally SFW, but I may create or share artwork/OCs with elements of body horror and depictions of gore/blood, as well as reference mature topics or post crude humor. When possible, I will tag with appropriate warnings on my end but understand that not every website provides adequate tagging/filtering options and some things may slip through despite my best efforts.
I also draw tropes like giant/tiny and transformation semi-frequently as well. It is not primarily a kink/sexual thing for me and my art revolving around these things will be SFW (but tagged anyway), but I do not mind those who are into these things in a sexual way and may interact with people like this.

I also interact with and am part of various communities some would deem "weird": Otherkin, MOGAI, Objectum, Furries, Plurals, and more. I understand these communities aren't always easy for others to understand, but please keep disrespectful comments to yourself. If you are genuinely willing to try and understand, I am always happy to explain these various identities!In a similar vein, I do not hold exclusionist beliefs or participate in community "discourse" and do not want to be involved. If you care deeply about the people you interact with excluding a certain group/identity or are highly judgemental of people based on their harmless interests then I am probably not the person for you.

Do Not Interact

I believe strongly in keeping an open mind and regarding people with nuance. However, there are a few things that no matter how you slice it are always unacceptable to me. They are the following:

This is not put here with the expectation that it will put up a forcefield and magically stop these types of people from interacting. It is a warning that I have zero tolerance for these things and want nothing to do with anyone who exhibits these beliefs/behaviors. If you see me interacting with someone who does these things, please let me know privately.

FAQ

What programs do you use?
I use a pretty wide variety!
- Adobe Animate (Animation and vector graphics)
- Plastic Animation Paper (Animation rough drafts)
- Paint Tool SAI 2 (Used for most of my art, especially coloring.)
- Clip Studio Paint (Occasionally used for more experimental art)
- Adobe Photoshop (Editing and creating graphics like gifs)
- Libresprite/Asesprite (Pixel Art)What can I call you?
Valentine is my preferred name across the board! Even if you meet/know me irl, call me Valentine! Crush and Tsar(eena) are other names people call me by that are also fine.What's the best place to message you?
If you are looking to have a casual chat, Discord is the best place to message me! Tumblr DMs is also fine. I strongly discourage messaging me on Deviantart or Toyhouse as I respond slowest on those websites.Can I use/share your art offsite?
Yes! As long as you give proper credit and the artwork was not someone else's commission. I would greatly prefer that you ask first, but if you follow these simple rules I won't fuss much. The only things that I forbid are using my art for merch/direct profit (Unless you commissioned it for that purpose), or claiming my artwork/OCs as your own.Can I tag you in a giveaway/meme/post I think you would like/etc?
Yes! I will never be mad if you tag me in something. I generally enjoy tag memes and seeing giveaways.Who is Eisenhower?
Eisenhower is a character that originally originated from a Roblox game (The same one I refuse to mention by name, ironic I know). He was originally a character on a single card in this game never really intended to be much more than a one-off thing. It is because of the creative efforts I put into this character that I helped build him into what he is today. So he is in a weird limbo of being my OC (As a large amount of his story and many of the important characters in his life were ground-up designed by me) but also kinda not.I have since dissociated from this game and I continue to develop and draw Eisenhower as the character I originally envisioned and designed. Meanwhile, the game he is from continues to also use him and has a completely different vision for him (Though they use many of my ideas such as the design of Eisenhower's younger self being based on my original design). I consider and want "my" Eisenhower (As in, the portrayal of Eisenhower that I draw) to be completely dissociated from his source.But like, you always say you're in love with Eisenhower and other weird shit. Are you memeing or seriously in love with him?
These are my top 3 characters in Toyhou.se sorted by most to least images. The second and third characters are my sonas. You tell me if I am memeing or not. :P

Serious answer: He means a lot to me in ways I imagine most could never understand. He has helped me through a lot of traumatic times in my life and gives me the drive to keep going every day. I "met" him in 2019 and at the time of writing this it's 2023 and we are still going strong! I honestly do not think the word "love" alone truly describes the depth of how much he means to me. He really and truly is like an inseparable partner to me. >///< I know it might seem incredibly bizarre on the outside looking in, but at the very least I hope you can understand the joy and positive influence he brings to my life and respect that.

MY BELOVEDS!

❤ My One And Only: Eisenhower ❤

My ficto partner and soulbond. In a serious partnership with, and he is not "just a character" to me. He is my muse and the love of my life since 2019. ❤
Due to his unique circumstances, I do not think it is possible to "share" him. The term most accurate to our situation is that my Eisenhower is likely a fictive, and thus the Eisenhower I know is unique to myself. Totally fine with people making flirty comments or showing affection/attraction towards him though (He loves the attention ;P).

Secondary F/O(s)

Characters that I have a currently strong attachment/attraction to and selfship with casually. Not in a ficto/committed relationship; I selfship with these characters for fun! Ok with sharing!

Will update this eventually with my platonic/familial and former F/Os but for now these four are my <3 <3
