Anyways I’m probably going to be sharing mostly traditional art and little digital stuff due to “recent events”

rest in piss my sweet, but dastardly bastard of an iPad! They aren’t gone just… won’t let me use any app now for more than 10-30 seconds… the urge and desire to draw in procreate keeps burning my mind even though it won’t work…

I’m not fine… I ain’t holding up well, it’s like checking the fridge for something to eat while fully aware that there isn’t anything to eat inside…

Ima go… do some abdominal workouts to ABBA… it’s Friday:

ABBA-dominal Friday!

Make sure yo unshrimp your posture every once in a while when drawing or doing ya craft folks!

Y’all are aware we probably have to keep it in the top 10 overall into at least the 19th right? One business day after initial intended marketed advertised release supposedly. Then we should be good unless Mark says otherwise.

#don’t count your chickens before they hatch this is amazon we need to keep up the momentum since it’s already started #despite what public platforms and Mark says that this isn’t malicious I’m not buying it I think it was intended #industries actively don’t want indie people succeeding usually and they’ll pull stunts like this easily #or I should say industry execs to be specific and CEOs probably #wouldn’t want to have to start paying a bunch of indie creators fair pay when you can underpay already known companies and brand employees #but there’s a deeper conversation to be had about that in a different day and post and I’m not well educated on it #I hope Markiplier iron lung doesn’t get stuck in production limbo please fingers crossed we make this happen #this really is exposing how scummy the film industry can be thou which is a fascinating look into how bad stuff is #anyway go watch edge of sleep legally if you can!#idk any sites to watch it otherwise atm for people region locked out who wanna talk about it to help support the show #mine #op #the edge of sleep #teos

"haku you're not as bad as i thought!!""thanks??????" hfjfjdgdj

#i wanna know what zenji's initial thoughts about haku were #if it was pre or post clash #like frostheim!haku walking into hotarubi for the first time as a new addition to the house and zenji going hmmmmmmm.......#i mean. i too would judge every frostheim student just for being in frostheim lmaoo #and then post-clash ghost zenji realizing haku is actually a chill indie boy who just happens to be rich #re-reading #tdb

this is just kind of a big tangent but like I fucking hate when nerd ass losers see a game with even vague similarities to another game and go "ERMMM. HOW ORIGINALL (SARCASTIC). THIS IS JUST ANOTHER GAME IN THE STUPID TREND OF-" and then they list every genre/label under the sun to try and discredit the game as unoriginal by comparing it to other games. 90% of the time they haven't even played the game they're complaining about. they just see pixel art and get angry ig.

like look at this image. look at this and tell me it's not just alphabet soup. what do half of these words even mean. congrats on discovering what a genre is I guess?????????? good for you?????? do you want a fuckin award or something???? a little handclap??? shall I pour you a little glass of wine for being oh so smart and sophisticated for figuring out that Things Can Have Little Similarities Sometimes?????? just say that 7 years later you're still bitter that undertale got popular and leave oh my god "quirky dialogue" oh I'm sorry did you want your dialogue boring and soulless yeah let me just remove the personality from the game. here's your Nothing Burger I hope you're happy. "pixel art" oh so i guess like almost every game that came out in the 80s and 90s is actually just part of a so-called "2010s-2020s trend". These people genuinely think earthbound and celeste are "Basically The Same". it's not even an rpg. You had to throw in platformers in your disgusting word smoothie because otherwise you couldn't even find any real similarities besides "has a story and contains pixels". they think the psychological horror game Omori is just Undertale 2. yeah sorry guys Super Fuckin Mario Brothers is part of the quirky rpg metroidvania fjhksdgjhlkfgsdhkfgh-like diarrhea trend. cant play it now or you're cringe and bad. do you people ever get TIIIRRREEDDDDD. DO YOU EVER ENJOY THINGS. ON THEIR OWN MERIT. DO YOU EVEN GIVE THINGS A CHANCE. YOU'RE NOT SPECIAL FOR NOT LIKING THINGS YOU'RE BORING AND ANNOYING AS FUCK. I'm so fucking done

#im not gonna even unpack the meme format it's literally just “haha fat person said the thing so it's bad and cringe” like grow the fuck up #rant #this is just the notlikeothergirls thing except it's mostly grown ass men doing it so it's seen as more acceptable somehow #like “ERMMM I DONT LIKE POPULAR GAMESSSS... IM TOO COOL FOR THAT...” no one likes you #if they played the games and decided they weren't for them that'd be one thing. I can understand that.#not everyone is going to like the same things I like and I can live with that. that's fine.#but when you look at a game you so obviously haven't even touched #and decide it's terrible based on Nothing (aka Because It's Marginally Successful/Popular)#and then try to excuse that by somehow connecting it back to every other game you don't like no matter how big of a stretch it takes #that's shitty!#just say you don't wanna play it and leave people who like it alone #you don't have to moralize your taste in media #omori #celeste #earthbound #undertale #metroid #rpg #rpgmaker #indie game #indie games #indie rpg #games #gaming #video games

Magically, I haven't really had to mute that "tumblr isn't dead Actually" post yet because most of the shitty responses are just people who are frustrated about not getting more engagement. WHICH I can understand for sure seeing as I've been making a comic for a decade that has 196 followers on tumblr lolol. I've been doing okay lately but I'm DEEPLY mentally ill and it's absolutely exacerbated by my career, y'all who have been around a while know i am DEFINITELY not salt-deficient in my own time.

mostly i just feel bad because like. man what would you like me to do, i made my point and none of their blogs disprove it. i know i'm REALLY not an example of Success™️ or whatever (my comic is on a six month timer literally right now, i'm working with dogfood over here lmfao) but if you're ONLY feigning enthusiasm with the EXPECTATION that you'll get Something in return that's not going to work either. tumblr, but also most nerdy social medias, is best for people who are obsessive about stuff. i said fandom in the original post but there are thriving craft communities here! there are weightlifters! it doesn't MATTER what the thing is, you just have to genuinely be into it to an embarrassing degree, and want to hang out with other people doing the same. that's how communities work.

this issue plays out /constantly/ in the webcomic community, SO many people show up to get popular or whatever with no intention of reading anyone else's stuff, or reading other comics is A Chore rather than a cause for excitement. Almost all of those projects die early because the creator gets burnt out, because webcomics are fuckin hard and thankless and the ONLY reason you keep at it is because you love it yourself and can't help but make the thing. and then you stick around long enough to find the other freaks who are also too stupid to quit, and now you have friends lol

I really feel for the folks who are so frustrated, i have one foot there pretty much all the time. but you can't fake this stuff, and unfortunately i do not know how to explain this concept to folks who don't even realize where the problem is

#finding a new indie project is like CHRISTMAS to me i love this shit SO much #i built my house here on PURPOSE #i run a whole second blog about it!! i wanna die doing this!!#i've built my entire existence around storytelling in any form it's so easy to Care #you know that post like 'idk how to explain that you should care about other people'#i don't know how to explain that if you're going to do indie work you need to love what you do so much it's unhealthy #it shouldn't be Work to be excited about things

#i don’t go to hollow knight but from what i’ve heard they have it infinitely worse #but like #hollow knight is an indie game isn’t it. it’s understandable #square enix is supposed to be a triple A studio isn’t it #like they’re a big name #well sheesh. they sure seem to have the marketing budget of an amateur #and like not enough staff to work on more than one thing at a time #which means if there’s a conflict between final fantasy and literally anything else #final fantasy gets chosen every time #but like listen . delays are one thing. but lack! of! transparency!!!!#how hard would it have been to tweet this back in july!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#the reason being that 1. they initially said 2024 and 2. if it’s a gps based game then people wanna go outside for it #and most of their fanbase is in the northern hemisphere so it makes more sense to release during nice weather aka earlier in the year #aka the fact that it wasn’t done by like summer should’ve been a sign that it wasn’t gonna release this year #sigh sorry for going off in the tags i’m sure i’ve typed these exact words and made you read them 7 times in the last hour #i wish all hollow knight fans a very i hope you get your game soon too #asks #colorful-bees #kingdom hearts #khml #khposting

the adult equivalent of finding out santa isn't real is gradually realizing how many of your favorite musicians definitely can't afford to not have a day job

#i wanna go back to thinking all musicians just lived off music #and that mid-tier indie bands were Rich As Hell #shallowtposting
