#How to use WordPress?

[yeehawpim]

i am so sorry for bothering you but. i have a few questions. Do you have any tips or books/youtube videos to help people interested in making comics or webcomics? and, also, how big do you make your canvas & is it the same size on your site (to read your comic)?

ayyy not at all 👌(side note sorry to the ppl I don't get to, I read all my asks even if I can't answer all of them and they cheer me up)

I've answered comic-making related stuff in my q&a tag somewhere, if you want to go digging 🤔

here's one of them

but as for books and youtube videos hmm

supereyepatchwolf on youtube has a few vids talking about manga, I especially like the chainsaw man one where he talks about how the author doesn't have the most polished style but the layout/composition/panelling is insane. There's another one he does about gantz where he talks about empty space can be used to make a lonely feeling. Those are more about the specific titles than comic making 😅but they defs inspired me haha

I watch a lot of video essays about movies and shows and they make me wanna go out and tell more stories 😤🫶 (breadsword, ladyknighhtthebrave, hazel... etc)

I haven't read any specific comic-making advice books? I just read a lot of manga/comics and stare at the things I like in them. Off the top of my head, One Piece, Anya's Ghost, and The Adventures Of Dr. Mcninja are all fun.

A more succinct advice book I think is The Animator's Survival Kit by Richard Williams. It's about animation, but comics has always felt kind of like a cousin. You're still making movement and timing look good, but it's in more select snapshots. (Though the advice about not listening to music while you're working is not for me 😂)

Also Griz and Norm have this really cool book of drawing tips that I want to get one day, but I think you can find everything as individual posts online too.

I usually work with 1650x2550px 72ppi for digital stuff, and 300ppi for print stuff. This is coming from a rube in all computer matters though, so take it with a grain of salt. It should be the same size on my site unless posting it somehow altered it w/o me knowing 😅

Fun fact: did you know the US government has been awarding Automattic Inc. millions of dollars since 2021 which will run until December of 2024? Specifically, the presidential office has been funding tumblr.

Automattic Inc. bought tumblr in 2019.

Do you know who else funded Automattic Inc. in 2019 some $70,000? The US Department of Defense.

Okay so my curious ass decided to go through work search in the usa (im not from the usa) but i literally dreamed my conclusion that graphic design needs varies a lot depending on the culture/society which is cool

i just wanna say that I love your fics sm. They're so faithful to DJATS book, and Julia's so adorable (she low-key reminds me of my five year old niece.) Honestly,they always make me feel better and I hope you continue ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Thank you so much, I am touched!

I cannot promise I will write any more fanfics, I don't know if I'd be able to fulfil that promise. I primarily write original fiction, which I've been lately quite happy about (I'm working on a story at the moment). I don't have fully fledged ideas for Billy and Camila, it's mostly stuff that I've mentioned in previous posts, like them taking a trip to Argentina and, obviously, Camila not dying but instead outliving everyone else (everyone of her age group), but that's something I can post here on Tumblr about as opposed to publishing as a story on AO3. I'm also so unsure about writing fics taking place in America in the 1970s/1980s, I even write in British English (I hope nobody minds).

I guess the biggest issue I personally have with A/B/O fics is that instead of just owning that they’re essentially glorified primal kink/werewolf fusion AU (which is like, fine.) they often try to incorporate “meaningful” systems of oppression or draw analogies to real-life issues faced by, say, women. In a way that’s badly thought out, gender essentialist, and ends up being far more misogynist than if they had never attempted to write it that way at all.

I was thinking about how massive discord is recently. Like, I'd guess a solid 90% of the surface web is now discord.

If you ever wonder why most sites feel dead nowadays, its mostly bc everyone is on discord. Discord has effectively contributed to ruining a lot of communities other sites should've had.

Which led me to thinking about what'd happen if discord went down. How that'd probably be a good thing and bring life to the other areas of the internet.

But also how much would be lost. I can use the wayback machine for a lot of sites, but I can't use it for discord. Discord is too closed off. If anything went down, there's no way it could be archived unless users actively archive their stuff on their own.

When considering places for archiving music, I had to rule out discord because it's just... not permanent. It's not accessible. It's not a viable archiving place. It's just a chatting site/app akin to skype that got too big.

Discord isn't meant to be everything.

If possible, please consider branching out to other sites if you value anything you typically put in discord, esp smaller sites, they really need it.

And/or look into how to make your own site.

Treat anything on Discord as media that will be lost

Do not use Discord to host your files. Do not rely on Discord to preserve your text. DO NOT RELY ON DISCORD FOR ANY KIND OF PRESERVATION OR HOSTING!!

It CAN be lost, it WILL be lost! You must consider Discord as a part of the Core Internet, controlled by one company that hosts the servers.

I thought it was impressive at first that it replaced IRC, but now I am horrified. If the company behind Discord went under today, how many friends would you lose?

How many relationships? How much writing?

You may think this won't happen, but I remember when AIM went down and along with it, entire novels worth of interaction with my oldest friend.

IT CAN HAPPEN TO YOU. IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. NO COMPANY IS INFALLIBLE.

Back up your files! Download anything you've saved to Discord NOW, before the API changes go into effect! And DO NOT RELY ON THEM FOR HOLDING IMPORTANT FILES!

yall, remind me so I don’t forget:

I am going to make a new side blog for my Flower Cows (since the old one’s a mess)

[n--n]

Damn you know what. Might just make this an aesthetic blog since I’ve been rebloging things specifically for story inspo/character inspo and make an entirely separate/new blog for art. Or maybe a Cara. I’m also making a personal website that’ll have a more text/review oriented blog but I’ll set out my sketches there too
