do not forget the patron saint of these weeks that we celebrate ourselves proudly and openly in the streets

her name was Marsha P Johnson, and we have her to thank for so much.

remember, the first Pride was a riot, and she was one of the brave souls who endured it to help carve the path which so many of us walk today. she helped found several activist groups regarding LGBT safety and wellbeing. and she was absolutely radiant, too.

thank you, Marsha. we remember you.

happy pride month! miku loves you ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

I'm sorry I haven't ! What did you guys think ?

[ilyone]

Hi sweetie I wonder how you’re doing? I love your art btw. Hope you’re fine rn and you’ve stopped running blog just because

This is so sweet ! Thanks for checking on me, it's really touching. I'm totally fine, I'm just not engaged in any fandom at the moment, and I've taken a bit of distance from social medias. But irl, I'm very good. Thanks again for thinking to ask <3

[ilyone]

Just saw you on my dash and got so excited because I haven't seen your username in years and got really nostalgic because you're one of my favourite artists that I found back when I was really into pjo :] just wanted to say that I'm happy to see that you're still around and hope that you're doing well! Your art gave me a lot of happiness way back when and now I'm going to go trawl your tags haha hope you're having a good one!

Thanks a lot for that sweet message ❤️ Thinking about my PJO days brings a nice nostalgia too, I really loved that fandom ! Have a good day :)

Yup, that’s the first part of my « Jason finds out » comics. You might want to check the tags #myart and #pjo on my tumblr.

Can someone explain the original English pun to me ? I’ve read Good Omens first in French then later in English, and as the French translation is word for word the English sentence, it sounds quirky but not a pun, it never occured to me it was supposed to be one?

As of late, I was thinking about how literary translation is absolutely fascinating. It has the opportunity to become a complete disaster at every other sentence but when it is done well it is absolute delight to read and to compare with the original. Like, have you ever thought about how hard it is to translate puns? It is practically a god tier of literary translation.

So, I’ve been thinking about this and I know what my most favorite instance of wonderfully translated pun is: it is the gayer than a treeful of monkeys on nitrous oxide one, from Good Omens.

I’ve read three different fan translations of Good Omens in Russian (when it was published officially I picked it up in a library specifically to look up how had they translated this phrase) and some of them were better and some of them were worse but all of them were centered on the fact that in russian language word blue can mean both color and ‘a gay man’. My favorite vertion of this phrase was something like bluer than the sky on a booklet advertising a tropical island vacation, and others were some kind of generic like a sky in the spring or something.

I’m not really sure where I was going with this except that I’m really curious now how it was translated into other languages. So pls, tell me?

Thought I’d share this for the benefit of those who might be under the false impression that fandom is only for the young. This is me. We’d just moved to a new apartment, and I was excited to decorate my room with my latest con purchases. This photo was taken 42 years ago. I’m still here. And with any luck, you’ll be wherever the fans are in another 42 years. With a lot more luck, so will I.

Creative theft

I don’t think I’ll ever fully wrap my head around the rank entitlement some people have. Specifically in regards to paying artists, writers, crafters, etc.

* I want thing. * I can’t afford thing. * I’ll steal thing because I deserve it and the person who made it is a rich greedy asshole.

Stealing food and vital supplies from big box stores is one thing, but stealing from individual creative types who are probably also broke is fucking horrifying. No, you don’t “deserve” someone’s lovingly-crafted story or artwork without paying for all the time and effort they put into it. Sure, you deserve nice things once in a while, but not at the expense of someone else.

Pirating a struggling author’s books isn’t a “win” against Capitalism, it’s a “fuck you” to the author you claim to love, who sees their sales drop so far that their publisher decides there’s no demand for their books and doesn’t renew their contract. And you’d be surprised how many authors are just barely keeping afloat, even when they’re well-known names.

Using an AI program to copy your favorite artist’s style isn’t a “compliment” to them, it’s an insult. “I like your stuff but you charge too much” isn’t a valid answer, it’s just a convenient excuse to not give them any money. Artists deserve to eat, too. And they deserve recognition for the hard work they’ve done.

Buying cheap knock-offs of a dicemaker’s design isn’t some “gotcha.” You’re ruining their life and making them less likely (or less able) to create more designs. Dice-making is fucking expensive and time-consuming, and then you add in the creative effort needed in order to come up with unique designs that haven’t been done by someone else and yeah, it’s gonna get pricey. They aren’t overcharging. If anything they’re undercharging in hopes of some sales.

I keep thinking of that one story that makes the rounds here on occasion. The knitter who had a potential customer get angry because the price of the afghan  they wanted was “too much.” The customer priced out the cost of the yarn and needles and decided that was more than fair. Except, y’know, that isn’t how it works. If you go to the store and buy the right amount of yarn and the needles to do it, are you going to be able to create the afghan on your own? Even if you know how to knit, can you follow the complex pattern you decided on? How long is it going to take you?

It isn’t just about the cost of the raw supplies, you’re paying for a person’s talent as well, and any skills/expertise they’ve developed in their field. Telling them that their effort, creativity, and time isn’t worth any money is fucking rude.

The only thing you’re proving by stealing from artists is that you’re a greedy, selfish bastard who cares more about your own petty needs than about the livelihoods of others.
