It's impossible to overestimate how important the RPG Maker community is to video games, so many classic games in the past 35 years were either made by the community or inspired by them. To see one of their main knowledge banks nonchalantly wiped away like this is disgusting.

looks like @mceprinting.bsky.social also has an account here and does NSFW, posters, postcards, foil, manga-style paper, and other extras in addition to printing high quality doujinshi. will be checking this printer out for my next project ~

There are a lot of visible skills in writing: SPAG, description, dialogue, characterisation, plot execution, etc., but invisible skills are knowing what to use and when, degrees of granularity, not just showing what's happening but evoking an impression or feeling, playing with the language...

How To Get Out is finally out. It's Trans Rescue's distilled knowledge and advice for trans people and others wishing to escape the UK or USA. This is my first book, and has consumed a lot of my time since last November. I hope people find it of use. Get it here: transrescue.org/how-to-get-out

AI always calling your ideas “fantastic” can feel inauthentic, but what are sycophancy’s deeper harms? We find that in the common use case of seeking AI advice on interpersonal situations—specifically conflicts—sycophancy makes people feel more right & less willing to apologize.

This is a good time to remind everyone that there is a free and open source alternative to Ren'Py that has absolutely zero AI code in it. It's called RenJS and is well documented, easy to use, and built on Javascript. renjs.net

Freehanded a scene that's been stuck in my head

👋 hi all, i have updated the doujinshi guide! - Added section for fanfiction authors - Added review for MCE Printing - Updated sections to account for doujinshi events in North America - Added a section regarding legality of fanwork doujinshi enjoy! docs.google.com/document/d/1...

protagonist’s resolve

🚨 BOOST 🚨 Please help her out. One of the people who assaulted her was a Patriot Front Nazi. Of course the cops didn't arrest him, and now she's facing charges and will need legal funding.

My pettiest grudge by far is the older man who, after my turn in a writing circle, called my writing "Thomas Mann-esque." How dare you compare me, ME, Girl-Enjoyer, to one of the Boy-Enjoyers of All Time

Thank you, Lauren Berlant (in "Curiouser: on the queerness of children", edited by Steven Bruhm and Natasha Hurley)

I wanted an excuse to repost this close up panel so I made it into a little animated loop ☺️

"fiction normalizes—" idk abt any of that but I think social media has normalized absolutely batshit behavior and social conventions that are inconceivable to anyone that is actually well-balanced and thriving in the real world and that's a bigger problem than fiction will ever be

Oh no 🥺 The French-Iranian artist, comic book author and director Marjane Satrapi, who became world-renowned with the graphic novel and film "Persepolis," has died at the age of 56. She also directed Chicken with Plums (2011), The Voices (2014), Radioactive (2019), Dear Paris (2024)...

Rereading an essay I wrote two years ago about the ways in which patriarchy disadvantages the men living under it, might post it... humorous how I've ended up with two seemingly disparate interests (girlhoods and masculinities), but they truly have more in common than on first blush

I drew a companion piece of Colibrí to go with young Charun for @studiodilon.bsky.socials anthology Plateau #1! It‘s an international anthology that will be at COMITIA 156, H03b if you happen to be in the area🌥️🌩️ #COMITIA156

The thing I'm happiest about with Soft Serve is that it is, by design, NOT "my project." Every role has at least two members that can take over if someone is busy or tired, which means there may be future issues where I'm not involved at all. And I like it that way.

Y'all, I'm at the Atprotocol Meetup, and Ik all y'all hate tech stuff and don't read but THEY BUILT NSFW FRIENDLY KO-FI WHERE YOU CAN SWAP OUT PAYMENT PROCESSORS WITHOUT SWITCHING ACCOUNTS. I REPEAT, NSFW FRIENDLY KO-FI SIGNED OFF BY LAWYERS IS COMING!!!!

APRÈS MOI LE DÉLUGE RETURNS August 1st I'll be back with a full chapter, rebooting the comic from the beginning; all new art, new and improved story, same boy, same teacher. sorry for the wait, everyone, I hope you're excited for whats in store.

Collected my manga-making links and resources into one post this morning... available on Dreamwidth and Tumblr

> be me > writing my VCSS piece > want Johannes to give Greta a pet name > look up common terms of endearment > "Sperling" and "Spatz" are cute, let's make a diminutive > find out "Spatzi" is Austrian slang for penis > guess we'll do "Spatzl"

Having collected 25+ sources for my essay on childhood and children in literature, I compiled all of the academic studies into a PDF document last night, which came out to... around 248 pages... not including the five or six books... so, it will take some time to analyse them all and write...

Girl in peril... old gods... yes... delicious... on top of just being a stylish and really well-done comic... thank you for the food

I studied panels from "Medalist" (Tsurumaikada) and "Sayasaya to" (Fumiko Tanikawa) as inspiration for these... they didn't turn out too bad for also having to write a piece in the two months we had. :p

IMPORTANT: For any artists/writers/etc etc, using Linktree to point people to their work, from 5 July, they'll be feeding all imagery you use on your landing page into DALL-E by OpenAI. I deleted my account this morning.

Dreaming about girl-protagonists again...

I don't need to be "protected" from seeing porn, I need porn artists to be protected from being debanked, having their work stolen by AI, being abused for the content of their work, and going broke.

If any of you have Git Hub accounts, let's share what we think of the account-wide censorship filter here. It worked for the terrible carousel feature, so I know they read those.

Paintings by Nizo Yamamoto for Sherlock Hound (1984–1985), dir. Hayao Miyazaki and Kyosuke Mikuriya, Tokyo Movie Shinsha

I'll say what Bluesky fails to address in v1.122 They've rolled out a new "adult content" tag applied on an entire account, hiding all their posts from users, including text posts, even if they may be SFW This update, while well-intentioned, defeats the whole purpose of the content filters system

Commission for @ingeniousmoron.bsky.social!

lol. lmao, even

Some of these articles are already fascinating (excerpt from Chapter 3 of "Rereading Heterosexuality: Feminism, Queer Theory and Contemporary Fiction", available on JSTOR Open Access)

This close to writing another essay that will undoubtedly be more than 5,000 words, God preserve me

Bringing this to you a week from now! 🌻

Greta + an inside joke for @amherrington.bsky.social :3c

After seeing that "guess an artist's first fandom by their style" post, I'm curious: 1) What's one CLEAR or VISIBLE influence on your work? 2) What's one COVERT influence on your work? (Substitute "inspiration" for "influence" if you prefer that)
