Jesus, did you have to show Steven dying so graphically? Thanks for putting the TW, but not everyone can block this comic and it still shows up in search engines where young fans of SU can see it....
Good morning Annony!
If Iβm completely honest, Iβm not sure what you want me to do here then.Β I am taking as many precautions as I can to try and help folks avoid the comic, however there is only so much I can do in that regard. After a certain point, it has to become the viewerβs responsibility to, if the content bothers them, look away from it. I am not, not going to tell what I feel could be a good story because it may have some violence to it.Β
Iβm sorry the content of those pages upset you if there are more tags youβd like to suggest Iβll be happy to consider adding them. Asides from that, or deleting all the content and dropping the story entirely which I donβt intend to do, I donβt think I can do much to appease you.
Β The best I can do is try my best to prevent people from seeing it through trigger warnings and the warnings I attach to the pages. Iβm not making it subtle that there are adult themes to the story, [note not erotic themes but the kind of material this ask is about]. Thus far to prevent folks from being upset by the pages Iβm:Β
Putting warnings on each page about the material in the comic.Β
The master post has a warning about the material.
The pages with graphic material are marked on the archives.
Iβve designated tags to allow people to both block the story or the graphic pages.Β
I am also posting hints each day to my art. In these, if there is ever anything that may be upsetting to the next day I include a warning in those said posts to inform people of it so they can avoid said content.
Β In regards to the imagery you are speaking of though, while it can be jarring considering the series is honestly rather tame to what it could have been. With the sort of injuries that Steven suffered in the narrative at the very least organs should have been visible or slightly spilled out. I chose to keep things as simplified as possible to avoid that sort of imagery otherwise relying on the blood to imply what was done.Β
Tumblr has a wide variety of content, and a rather vast NSFW section if you know where to look. While I know people are moving to Twitter and Instagram for their art Iβm keeping this content to my Tumblr because of the tagging system being more reliable than the others when it comes to filtering out what folks donβt want to see. I also know there is a wider younger audience on those platforms which is another reason I chose to keep it to this Tumblr page.Β
If you have further suggestions Iβm happy to hear them, but Iβm not going to sacrifice the storytelling to censorship.Β
