Many full time creatives have “invisible safety nets” like bread-winning partners, trust funds, external support, etc. No shame on anyone, but it creates a false vision of success. The cost of going to cons alone on top of hoping to eat as a freelancer are untenable, IMO.
When people hear that I'm returning to part time work they often ask "are things not going well with your art?"
The problem really is things are going well, but the world is so unstable that I long for some consistency and income that I don't have to pay quarterly taxes on

"grow up" doesn't mean you can't keep enjoying things you liked from your childhood
"grow up" means learning about the world outside yourself and taking responsibility for your place in it
it's not cringe to like HP because it's a kids book
but because adults should know fuckin better by now

being a harry potter adult is so cringe i am not sorry find something else
Also Harry Potter adults really ought to be ostracised and I mean that with my whole chest because if you can casually support it then that means you’re cool with supporting its creator against trans folks so please go house sort yourself into a bin where you belong.

Horses are weird. A large dog that's also a car? That doesn't sound right.

Just one more thing. You say you’re cisgender, so why’d you never pick guy characters in video games? Not one. Sure, I can understand appreciating a polygon backside, but you picked Princess Peach with that wonderful pink dress in Mario 2 every time. Always female characters, I can’t figure it out

Juneteenth is not fraught, overt racism is back in vogue. Say it plain. Layers of polite credulity empower racists & normalize racism. Full stop. Nobody is confused. Do not let them pretend.

reminder that commenting on someone's art by telling what you'd do differently in said art is never gonna be received very well when the artist didn't ask for any feedback

i really can't impress enough on young people that if you commit to not using AI you will be blessed by the promethean fire of knowledge and everyone around you will think you are a god for being able to do shit on your own and use your brain to have critical thoughts like a functional human being
