Explaining the America of today to someone from like the early 90’s and saying “hey enjoy not being monetized when you die”

At some points, animation fans just go too far and too hard, and this is one of the examples of both, destroying people’s professional resumes without any whit of care over a categorical problem he created

I forgot that the real reason I wanted to get into the final girl series is that they have really off brand modules for Alien and Terminator 2 that look like they rock ass

Some dumb bullshit, probably about my insistence that you shouldn’t have to constantly and exponentially overwork to maintain a career drawing pictures that move

Got a gift card that said “buy something you’d never get for yourself” and so I did

It’s bizarre, because it isn’t opt-in, none of the artists had a choice Like if there’s ever more grounds for a class action suit, I haven’t seen it, fills all the boxes.

Generally people are figuring out that if you just do the thing, it’s quicker than having to dick around prompting to figure out how to get what you want

It’s Reggie Miller

Dismissing stranger things out of hand because nobody dunks a basketball

Art vs Artist 2025! Probably the last piece of the year. I need to draw more for myself next year!!! This was the most requested. #artvsartist2025

(Wakes up) Hell yeah there’s a new takes pervert check all that apply 1) you don’t have to hand it to Majorie Taylor-Greene because she sucks 2) reading books for your own edification rules 3) if you’re wrestling, avoid being dropped directly on the top of your head because that leads to CTE

Not a lot creeps up on me but “the kid who plays Steve Harrington is 33 and tried to have an arc where he did indie movies to regain credibility” definitely took me by surprise

One of the best to ever do it

I can’t remember what this kid looks like

Prepping for the end of stranger things by catching up with Shoresy and Letterkenny, which has existed for the same amount of time

Hey #indieanimation fans and supports and #indiecreators #indiefilm I made a starter pack of black indie creators ( primarily Animation cuz that's what I know mostly ) that everyone should follow. Folks like to support Indie but make sure you're supporting black voices too go.bsky.app/AY6B9eE

Going to a stranger things watch party for the final episode and I’m preparing by rewatching all of Riverdale and asking where jughead fits into all of this

I like that there are multiple detective shows from the 70’s that are basically “this guy’s a huge piece of shit” and Jim Rockford reigns supreme

Lunch break Slaine

You’re closer to being homeless than ever being a billionaire and that’s a fact any billionaire will remind you of by their words and deeds, so fuck them

There’s not many times I get to pull “I’ve known your studio founder personally since China, Il was on the air and that’s why I’m applying to this” on a job application but by god I’ll do it

Has anything ever been helped by having someone who’s former CIA step in? From like politics to Batman comics, everything seems like it’s just all the worse for that decision

There’s a ton of little ones because of comic cons, I remember Ray Park, after hearing his manager wanted to change me 65 for a photo, was like “meet me in the parking lot in 15” and we got a couple pics together. Good dude.

Ending each workout in a Pim voice shouting “I’m full of blooood!”

Norman Rockwell’s politics were EXTREMELY known and the fact that he’s the go-to for whatever white supremacist horseshit is beyond bizarre. Though literacy isn’t these people’s strong suit.

May 2026 be the year you look at a job posting that sounds like a headache and say to yourself “this sounds like it sucks” and not apply for it, because it sounds like it sucks

There being companies named Palantir and Sauron kinda make me wonder if people read books or they just sort of get summaries of movies

I think it's interesting to consider how giving your company a name from fantasy or science-fiction went from indicating playfulness and innovation to, effectively, a guarantee that you will be amoral if not actively evil

Hi new followers! If you don't already know I have a new game coming out on January 22nd! It's a narrative adventure set in the year 2003 where you are a young writer trying to make sense of the world: store.steampowered.com/app/2088810/...

At some point we’ll have to have a talk about how the costume design on Bram Stoker’s Dracula effected the designers of Starbucks cups

Is MTG in the news again (Warms up the “fell for it again” award machine)

Re-watching the Watch, which takes a weird move in being set in prachett’s discworld but somewhat modernized, and you gotta ask why a lot of these choices were made

Rent should be cheaper, if not free Mortgages should be regulated by local governments. Politicians should be able to be punished by removal and jail time. The threat of it is not enough.

Oh dang

The best part about AI regulations is that you’d think after the open admission that they use it to make porn of unwilling participants, it should’ve been thrown out the window, if we were a civilized society

The MayoR

As soon as you start farming for engagement, your art becomes content. As soon as your art becomes content, it becomes difficult to maintain, because you’re striving only to hit engagement numbers, and that’s not what art is.

I am not that old, I promise, bud

There’s always a point where Stewart falters and it’s traditionally when people have the most faith in him. Like he is still very much a dude with writers, after all this time.

its that time again!! #artvsartist2025 I didn’t draw as much as I’d have liked this year but glad that the work I did is work I’m proud of ✌️ #artvsartist

Rough year, but still alive, and I didn’t end up back in the hospital. #artvsartist2025

Heading into 2026, I'm still looking for fulltime or contract work as a senior writer or narrative designer. If you need someone who can write sharp characters, poetic prose, and emotional stories, I'm available! You can find my portfolio here: www.hazelmonforton.com

We’re talking Brigit Bardot today and yeah the last 40 years where she devolved into real overt racism and hatred kinda knock out that she looked cool for a bit

You’re right and you should say it, tbh.

4 games that were a big part of my 2025

Fell down the YouTube hole of the newest (?) just dance having stop motion animation and that kinda rules
