There's definitely a double standard when it comes to how people complain about cartoon sexuality vs cartoon violence. People can understand that Wiley Coyote blowing himself up is meant to be funny and not realistic, and yet, when it comes to exaggerated cartoon sexuality, they clutch their pearls

Happy New Year!! 🎆🎊

For 2026 I'm going to work more on Hurtland. I want the project to be at least 25% done by the end of the year (goal is to complete the film by 2030). I also want to get more serious about doing studies and improving my fundamentals. I want to see GROWTH!

Did you know I'm making an original animated film called Hurtland? And I post more in-depth updates about it on my Ko-fi page? #hurtland

In 2026 I vow to be more annoying about Hurtland. I will not shut up about my film until it is done.

What do you mean Frosty the Snowman Rankin Bass cartoon isn't available for free on Youtube? You're really going to force me to buy or rent Frosty the Snowman on this Christmas Day? You want me to give Youtube the present of my money to watch a cartoon that people grew up watching for free?

I almost wish I could come up with a "__ of the year" list, but I almost never play or watch anything popular on the year it comes out. My games of the year are literally Kentucky Route Zero and Earthbound. My animated show of the year is Scavengers Reign.

Aren't all relationships parasocial until you actually form a bond with someone? And you can't form a bond with someone unless you have a motivation to do so (parasocially)?

I hope everyone has good year end holidays. As we go into a shaky period with the arts in flux and a lot of people are suffering, please never forget the power of your mind, and the joy of engaging in meaningful process. Every day you have the most powerful machine in existence inside your own head.

If you are the one taking the psychology class, and you decide to shit all over the psychology taught to you, then why the fuck are you here??? What did you expect?? Shame on this school for firing that teacher.

Merry Christmas ♥️🎁🎀

i always forget to actually flog the stuff i make instead of just posting it, but you should read my comic. it's about the human condition but some of the human conditions are animals. the kind of thing where the character interactions are the plot. and i like to think the art is good halo-head.com

This also applies to cartoons and comics and basically everything. It doesn’t matter if you have a concept of something already out there. If you love it, do it. Your work will have your unique mark on it by virtue of being made by YOU. (Also two cakes.)

The rise and fall of queer cartoons aftermath.site/queer-cartoons...

I just finished watching Scavengers Reign and holy shit. Every good thing said about that show is true. It really is that amazing.

I'm strongly considering making a separate bsky account for more adult things like sexual expression and discussions. I'll keep this account active for art and general updates, but I can't help but feel like it's risky posting about the right for porn to exist here on main.

I had to remind myself that art is fun, so I drew OCs! I included short bios for each of them to give you an idea who they are. None of them belong to the same universe, so it was a challenge putting them all together.

"RemoveWindowsAI" is a script created by zoicware, available on GitHub, that does exactly what it says: it remove every AI feature in Windows 11. Do what you wish to do with this information. I'm sharing this because some folks are forced to use Win11 at work or other places for any reasons.

they could have really turned the reception of that nerd guy from metroid prime 4 around if they made a scene where he sees a monster and pisses his space suit. then people would want to have sex with him

One barrier is ID checks. Imagine living in one of the 12 U.S. states where abortion is illegal and just trying to learn about abortion on Reddit or YouTube then having to hand over your ID. If at any point you actually seek out an abortion, this info can be used to incriminate you.

Sometimes I get sad that I don't really have a "sense of humor" but then I remember that being sincere is not weakness, but strength.

I played Horses this weekend and I wrote down some messy thoughts not only on the game but especially on the specter of formalism that emerged to haunt us all for a moment. transgamerthoughts.com/post/8023277...

here is a frame from pluribus btw

It's funny seeing artists complain about the horny police leaving rude comments on their art. I remember when I was a 20-something judging people for drawing boobs on women. But now I'm pushing 30 and don't give a fuck. Draw what you want! Encourage others to do the same!

I'm drawing a lineup of some of my OCs because I never post about them enough. I may be working on a big art project but I still have time to do some fun art on the side

if you are an artist your compatriots are the people that make food and the people that make porno

I’ve forgotten this sometimes but being able to discover something you like, curate it, and make time to enjoy it *is* intelligence, connecting with art is intelligence, empathy is intelligence, the way of the dullard is to find nothing meaningful in art except for a way to seem snidely clever

One of my fave posts from the other site

My favorite thing about creating and owning characters is that I can just be needlessly cruel to them for no reason and nobody's allowed to get mad at me.

the thing about piracy is that if you replace it with "buying secondhand" or "borrowing a friends copy" it cuts through a lot of chaff. you dont see people arguing youre stealing from poor indentured writers when they buy secondhand & you dont see people arguing that borrowing is leftist praxis yfm

I just learned the Bugs Bunny No meme doesn't even come from him saying no. It's a frame rotated 90 degrees from him taking a drink from a bottle. I needed to share this.

Love is the answer and unfortunately that's super fucking gay
