#but man it's bumming me out

[leupagus]

It's really fucked up when you treat characters like people and people like characters.

I was writing up a post to help encourage folks who’ve always wanted to start a webcomic to dive in- and that they shouldnt have to fear ‘being perfect’ to start one And as I was going along, it made me sad to realise that.. there is an expectation now in the webcomic sphere, as much as I want to deny it (and that it should NOT stop folks from creating!!! please keep creating, no matter your level) I’m bummed out about the changes in the webcomic sphere over the past 5 years, i’m disappointed that there has been changes to this medium that was KNOWN for all of the different skill levels and flavours of so many different creators. I want to combat that. I want to see more beginner art, I want to see that excitment and embracing of growth. I want to see what made webcomics so accessible to so many creators and readers flourish again. Hopefully, if you see this post, and you’ve always wanted to make a webcomic but felt you weren’t ‘good enough’ : Make one anyways. Have fun even if you don’t know all the ‘ins and outs’ of comics. Make one because you’re obsessed with your characters and you wanna share them with the world. Make one just because you can, and not because it has to fit in some impossible standard we’ve forced onto ourselves because of the changing landscape. Start one, and have fun doing it for YOU!

merchant I was browsing the crk wiki at random and was super impressed at how well-researched mystic flour's entire page was. they wrote such an in-depth analysis on her personality and ended on a beautiful metaphor with how her relationship with dark cacao is: "like how a white cloud would contrast a black stone. Instead of standing as a bulwark against conflict, she envelops others in a fog of visions to obscure their path forward and render them helpless, until they have no choice but to acknowledge their own futile actions. But though a cloud can never be harmed by a stone, a stone can never be moved by a cloud in return" like holy crap I really recommend reading the entire thing it's amazingly well written. then I thought "I need to see what they wrote about the relationships between other beasts and their ancients." I got to burning spice next. scroll down. motherfucker has 2 small paragraphs describing his personality in the most barebone sense 🫠 NO METHAPHOR NO NOTHING... Smlik is better but not by much... there is clear favortism afoot in this wiki 🤨

I've read it before lol. It is, indeed, well written. Hats off to the mod responsible.

... But yeah, Burning Spice is the middle child of the Beasts so far and it really shows lol. Both on the wiki and with Devsisters themselves. Dude didn't even get a countdown while Mystic Flour and Shadow Milk did and then some. Shadow Milk gets an hour-long commentary video, a limited edition plushie, a billion different sprites, even Devsis' avatar on YouTube is Shadow Milk's stupid, ugly clown mug. What does Burning Spice get? Not even a decent wiki entry smh

He's based on Shiva, the Hindu god of destruction. There's so much that can be said with that. There's so much that can be said about his dynamic with Golden Cheese. How they compare and contrast. How GC herself mirrors aspects of Hindu mythology, just like he does, in tandem with him. I could honestly go on about it forever because I actually did look into it out of curiosity, and the parallels are unreal. Everybody did them BOTH dirty tbh, can't believe the disrespect

Maybe they don't acknowledge how GC fits in with BS in that particular context because then they'd have to admit that she is disturbingly close to being like Parvati, Shiva's beloved wife, without whom he cannot function lmaooooooo

Lee know becoming Guy Who Eats Boring Chicken Breast for The Protein ™️ is my villain origin story

[misterbitches]

so to clarify. jack’s boyfriend (who he forgave) went to jack’s coach who betrayed him; joke got the coach a concrete material way that he could pay jack back in repentance, got the deed for it, gave jack a chance to see the coach again so he could say whatever else—to forgive him or not and anything else he wanted. and I am supposed to just be okay? Ok.

content warning : yapping about my opinions on billford and the abuse involved uh oh ! i have thoughts

i be feelin like the only person who doesnt like billford when its portrayed as romantic or whatever i like seeing the aus of "reformed bill" but they dont feel like bill cipher it feels like a triangle who JUST so happened to also be named bill like girl thats oc x canon

i dont know i dont think me personally can see billford as anything other than yaknow what it is , it is an abusive past relationship romantic or not and its funny seeing reformation aus or aus where bill has to live with the pines family because personally if my abuser got sent to live with me id be stuck in a dissociative state for that entire fuckin time he was there 😭😭

i dont like billford in general ( this will get me shot probably ) ( edit : i dont HATE billford i dont mind seeing it , since its so popular what can u do but i personally dont ship it , at least not shown as non toxic yada yada and idm billford shippers UNLESS ur a weirdo strange weirdo then i hit that block button anyway back to post ) i only think portraying billford works IF you do it with the "toxic" (aka abusive) aspects and yaknow pre betrayal as people call it aka when ford found out bills true intentions i dont post much billford but the literal 2 times i posted billford which wasnt even intended to be shipped/ship material i just tagged it as that because they are both there i portayed billford in an almost creepy evangelical light because thats how it felt to me

billford as a ship TO ME is deep devotion and obsession rather than "oh he fucked that triangle bruh oh my gosh" billford genuinely disturbs me and i like exploring those disturbing parts when i even feel like making something billford adjacent

i feel the same about any bill shipping because ion think any of them can go good but you do you idgaf ship whatever

I'm ready to do an AU where all of the Papas are actually gingerbread men, or whales, or labels on a soup can just to troll people

All the Papas exist inside a snow globe and are forced to eat each other like the Donner Party

The policing of what is or is not acceptable in this fandom is so goddamn stifling lately i have no motivation to do anything here

The fact that Im probably going to learn the election results through the Destiel meme is equal parts hilarious and sad to me

A fairytale inspired shadamy! It was mostly inspired by Rapunzel, but now that it's done it's giving me Romeo and Juliet?

When it comes to Kerry, I'm the opposite of a gate-keeper.

I want everyone to romance the old man.

DO IT!!!!!

"the characters of dmmd are written surprisingly well for a porn game!"

have you considered sexual content meant to stimulate the viewer and good writing aren't mutually exclusive?

A rip in the space-time continuum lands NBC Ted right in the middle of AFC Richmond, and he's stuck there until they can figure out how to send him back. Which is fine by him because he LOVES England, and while he misses his Beard, he gets along great with this other Beard. (NBC Ted was never married/no kids.) And Ted thinks it's neat, if strange. Except that NBC Ted clearly has a crush on Trent. And they start spending time together. Ted isn't jealous. He isn't. Nope. [1/2]

HEY ANON???? OWIE 🥺🥺

god can you imagine Trent's POV through all this.. is he actually into NBC Ted or is it just a fling because it's not like his version of Ted actually likes him, right? he can indulge in this for now, it's not like this version of Ted would stay forever. got to make the most of it while he can and all that. two of the most clueless people in richmond, honestly 😔
