When I brought @jandri.bsky.social and @rogerbaconslounge.bsky.social on to make the front and back covers for Demon Zine Shinjuku I gave them these sketches are reference.

Research isn’t tedious or a thing to be avoided. Going on a journey to broaden your horizons and discover more about things that you’d normally pass by is joyful and enlightening. It makes you a better person by broadening your understanding of the human experience. Don’t let a machine devalue it.

My biggest issue with gacha games is that I believe every woman is a five-star ultra rare limited pull.

FBRNRJUKGND my brother had a childhood phase where he was obsessed for david blaine, we'd rewatch his dvd whenever we had ppl visiting us and later he also learned to do his card tricks and perform them.... man

David Blaine is objectively funny I won’t lie

Valve has now rejected my complaint, confirming that "I don't like muslims" is a valid reason to leave a negative review on a game on Steam This is where we're at now.

I saw someone say this and I want to make it clear too: please, if you commissioned me and you still use Twitter, don’t post my art there. Please

dog loves going to hell!

when did everyone start saying fujoshing instead of fujoing

They want you to believe it's inevitable so you give up and cave. Don't do it.

Love to see the Sedgwick County Zoo putting out a good explainer on why GenAI slop videos of animals are a problem & how to identify them! It’s succinct, easy to read, and doesn’t shame people for not knowing better. A+ useful link to share with family and friends. scz.org/blog/the-rea...

Dunno why mobsters are always threatening this. It looks lovely

Olive Oyl likes watching Popeye and Bluto beat each other up, I think. There's a sexual gratification to it. She plays them against each other to assert her desirability. It's all a game.

Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett casually confirming that 2D of Gorillaz is non-binary now is not what I expected from this album promotion cycle but y’know, yeah, cool, good for them!

Okay, to anyone who is surprised by this, or think it's retcon, this is what he was doing before Gorillaz youtu.be/WDswiT87oo8?...

Also important to note, Epic is bringing Harry Potter content to Fortnite. This will undoubtedly be a depressingly huge payday for JKR, who not only uses her money to fund anti-trans movements but also sees every sale as people directly supporting her views. The entire IP is toxic. Fuck Epic.

"You shouldn't make art for the money" buddy I'll take it one step further and say we shouldn't have to labor for capital at all but in the meantime pay an artist

Hey if youre considering watching the game awards, your time would be better spent making some phone calls that may actually help things

the only time imas did this perspective shift i talked abt and made it actually great narrative-wise but ofc ended up being the one they refuse the most to touch upon again

so much stuff w cute heroines that i lose interest once in find out the narrative isn't told from their perspectives.... male otaku always unable to separate themselves from a boring ogling male protagonist even if they don't add shit 😔

watching videos on the princess maker series and ive been trying to rationalize what's exactly abt this type of sim that makes me not want to get into despite the interesting concept and realized it's the same reason why i gradually got weary of idolmaster
