I am so unnaturally cranky I need to control the urge to complain about every little thing under the sun. Like if someone just lolks at me funny I'm going to fly off the handle kind of cranky.

Hands a bit sore today due to the cold, have a playdate between soulmates.
Fun fact, Milo and Dusk didn't meet till much later so this isn't canon. Karkat would never allow tiny Dusk to hang out with a Makara LMAO.

There is ONE use for the term Content Creator and it's GenAI.
That isn't art, that is content for the sake of filling a space because they don't respect art.
Stop saying Content Creator if you value art and artists.

“Content” is a corpo-brain term, makes me cringe when I hear it in the wild.
You don’t make “content”, you make ART! You write STORIES. Its your WORK (and often play too)!
“Content” is the noise you flick through when trying to find a SHOW you like, don’t cheapen your work comparing it to SLOP. 😤

"Content" is a blatantly misleading term to use for fanworks. Fanworks are the antithesis of content; content is produced for individual gain and consuming, whereas fanworks are created out of inspiration and the communal experience.

I like some of the new Hiveswap news things but idk how I feel about whatever grown ass dev is LARPing as a troll to be indulgent sexually charged questions and making similar comments for laughs to a community that's self reported to be full of minors as young as 13.
Idk.

Much as I can be a hater towards 'official' homestuck stuff, It's more like... old dad who doesn't get it sometimes. I heard they're doing stuff for charity now and while I don't vibe with that either I'm kinda here like 'are ya winning son? :)' because that's genuinely good.
