some tcou sketches i forgot to post ✦ #art #oc #tcouproject

An opinion I pretty firmly hold is that everyone should make a song, paint a painting, act in something, and write a book even if all of those things end up being objectively terrible

i really need to get my blog up - i have a lot of yapping in my brain that i don't want to spam on my socials (well... spam tumblr, specifically. most sites these days aren't built for text walls. sad)

Every instance of "AI democratizes the arts, you're classist and ableist and a gatekeeper for trying to stop it" is a slap in the face to the literally centuries of poor, disabled people making art on the margins and a crass lie in service of a machine that strips down and regurgitates dreams

The indie Filipino short film "The Lovers" (Studio Heartbreak) is now complete, and will be released this summer on Youtube. In the meantime, here's a nice official poster illustrated by Ami Thompson. www.studioheartbreak.com www.catsuka.com/news/2023-05...

twitter doing the nth bad move (edit/ai button on image posts) but i sort of lost faith majority of artists are willing to migrate elsewhere (if it may sacrifice the biggest potential audience). there will probably be another small migration here but will it last...?

*writes a scene 40k words in that finally answers a question the reader will likely be curious about from the end of ch1 so long as they catch the allusion* excellent

Every single one of

drawing is so fun. did anyone know this

my blog/website is so real. made some assets for it so it's coming together!!

want some? [ #art #fanart #madokamagica ]

Have been coding for 5 days straight and it's not even something I want to code...end of term is not for the weak

If you like an author's work, the best thing you can do is buy it. The second best thing you can do is ask your local library to buy it. Or, do both!

i read feedback on my work like ripping off a bandaid. between my fingers. in small chunks

🥳

I think one of the saddest things about being a millennial is remembering a time when technology was advancing in a way that made life better and easier and more exciting instead of actively, intentionally worse

please support ur friends making creative shit in this cruel world. u have no idea how much a kind comment can mean to an artist when every website just tries to make you focus on the numbers

rewatched madoka in 2025 so here's a doodle [ #art #fanart #madokamagica ]

it shouldn't be a surprise that artists have Interests that may or may not be nsfw, but it's still funny to me when i come across someone's adult account with art i recognize like "oh!"

i picked an awkward time to learn proper em dash usage (previously i wrote them [like — this] (or with an en dash), when it's proper [like—this] (no spaces). now it's known as a "tell" re: ai, but you can take dashes from my cold dead hands

frustrating to see bsky sort of drop the ball and disappoint people + artists specifically, esp when i want a "twitter but Not Like That" to exist and gain traction. anyway, tumblr remains my favorite of the sparse sites we have no matter how many people say it's dead,

Genuinely powerful words to live by.

my internet is still terribad lately but in the benefits of boredom i thought up my series end for tcou as more than just a vague notion so. that's something. now i simply need to write 3 books to get there

Knights of Guinevere was soooo compelling I am intrigued and sad that I can't keep watching

The upcoming proposed rules surrounding NSFW art are bad and the Bsky mod team should feel bad. Fellow artists: Remember that even if you don't make NSFW art, rules like these eventually come back to bite us all, especially if we make works about queerness.

my internet has been crazy bad lately (it's been offline for hours now) but the silver lining is at least i'm getting a lot of writing done tonight

*rattling at the bars* there is so much i want to learn and do

Canadians! There is a petition to sign to protest Mastercard and Visa's control over the purchase of legal adult content. This is specifically about the Steam & itchio situation, but language protects adult creators. www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en... #nsfw #censorship #canpoli @acvalens.net

writing is painful at times. i am mired in doubt, yet i persist

🌙 + ☀ [ #art #oc #tcouproject ]

in my ultimate hubris i started a side project a couple weeks ago. it'll be a novella and generally a lot more straightforward than tcou. so there's... 7k of that now. it is an android/human sort of deal

the pain of having ideas for pmvs about my story but it would make a lot more sense to create those when the story is actually (at least close to being) accessible to others 💥

hi! i'm rise. i draw and write and make things 🌱 currently working on a sapphic fantasy novel series called the constellation of us (tcou), among other stuff ✨ links: 1amrise.carrd.co ✨

Look you just have to make the cool weird shit that excites you. You must. In this world besieged by bland, scrubbed boring, computer slop, you must. Make the thing you’re embarrassed to make, the thing that feels “too much” because otherwise we get drowned in a sea of cowardly work made by a button

feels like an awkward moment in time to be cooking up adult lgbt books (not really focused on smut, but still decidedly adult)

Create your own comfort media. From scratch. Nothing matches the joy of having a world where every last detail is something you can call your own, and can't be ruined by an obstinate company caving to capitalism. You can even add as many *100% unambiguous* lesbians as you want! Unlimited lesbians!
