As much as I could have things to say about Avatar: Fire and Ash, I'm at least happy they continued Payakan's story, probably my favorite character in this franchise

This year, I got a ref sheet for Parker (left, by @/saintbull), one of my OCs who crossed paths with Modern Kothu in college (right, by @/nsffluffle, 2022)!
Hoping to feature them (with Fenri!) in a new artwork of their college years one day :)

illustration but I think in creative fields generally a lot of 'success' is just hanging in there as long as you can and it is natural that you'll make friends with people who have similar points of view on the industry and share your same irrational 'not giving up' mental illness
Talking to one of these types at a con who asked how I 'got in' with so many 'famous writers' who I'd been talking to and I said "we made friends before anyone knew who we were decades ago by striking up interesting conversations and enjoying each other's company" and he kept re-asking the question.
They have come to the convention hoping to "break in" and then find themselves -- shocker! -- a "nobody in the book world." Yeah no shit! We all are! I have gently told guys like this a million times that it takes most of us *years* of hard work but they do not believe that could be true for them. +

Is there an actually sourced "furry husband of the year" ranking / restrospective (like based on FA posts or other furry sites posts) or are these always based on vibes only?

"I refuse." This is it. There's no reason we should accept a narrative of an already settled future which marginalizes humans and individual agency. No one wants this. No one asked for it.
"This promise of an AI future, is really just a collective anxiety that wealthy people have about how well they're gonna be able to control us in the future."
- @tressiemcphd.bsky.social with an absolute mic drop moment about AI bullshit.
Incredible words.

When some stupid CEO or any AI apologist says "Let's face reality, AI is here to stay", what they mean is "Let's validate and normalize a reality techbros are trying to push on everyone so they can continue to fap to their inhumane delusions while profiting off it"

So they understood they made a big mistake and turned back on AI, "yay".
If you want to read in english. Hope they keep it that way.
I guess backlash went on them mostly and they want to save their butt, but coming from a company, it's rare, so.
