Hazbin season 2 is very... webcomic-y. It lacks the narrative drive and clear stakes of season 1 and is more like a bunch of scenes of somebody's OCs doing stuff. I feel like it maybe could have used a bit more editing at the writing phase.

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

Okay so there's a shot in episode 2 of Hazbin season 2 that my Mx is certain was inspired or influenced by my track art for "Portrait" on Homestuck Vol 9. If it was most shows I'd be like, "nah, 100% coincidence", but... if ever a show felt like it was made by a bunch of Homestucks... 👀

It's convention season, so I needed to make a new set of stickers and... well, I just really wanted to draw these characters. I love KPDH! 😆

I'm still amused that I made a comic about magical knights and accidentally predicted, "animal-themed costume becoming figurehead of a protest movement against an authoritarian using the slogan 'No Kings'." about 5 years before it actually happened. 😅

Having been playing Hades 2 since the playtest launched, I'm still kind of processing how I feel about it finally having the ending plugged in and it turns out it's kind of bad and weirdly nihilistic?

Wow I'm glad I saw a random YouTube video that I can just opt in for windows 10 security updates for free for another full year (anyone in the UK and EU can do this btw, it's in your settings). I was about to actually install Linux in desperation! 🤣

When you paint a random spare Skaven for the "rattober" meme and to test a red paint while you have a cold and it comes out as one of the best minis you ever painted. 😠

I really tried to avoid this, but I'm in need of help. I'm a year and a half out of full time work, and my retail gig alone can't keep me afloat. My October expenses are going to be much higher than normal.
I'm offering sketch comms over on my ko-fi for donations. thank you

Something that really bothers me about these UK right wing blokes... is that I knew who they were in school.
I was in the Christian Union, a church choir girl at the local church, a girl guide, always taking part in local events... and they were the kids who did none of that.

After more time playing Daggerheart, I think the system that has grown on me the most is "Experiences". I underestimated how cool replacing the "skills" from D&D with basically the Aspects from Fate accelerated would be.
