I'm so mad that post was misinformation because there is actually an EXTREMELY important conversation to have about the production schedules artists are forced into. There's no need for exaggeration, the conditions are bad.
I work for webtoon. My publication schedule is weekly. While publishing I'm required 10-15 pages a week. Fully colored.
This means I'm finishing a 150 page fully colored graphic novel every 10-15 weeks.
When my comic is not updating, I am not getting paid. Any time writing, editing, or off is out of my own pocket. I don't get healthcare. They do not provide any assistants. They expect me to promote myself; they chose to deprioritize me before I even launched and gave me an end date half a year in. I never had a chance.
And this is the industry standard! Every company has artists forced into crunch hours, overtime, and burnout. Artists are literally dying early due to it. So many of my friends can't afford to go to the doctor.
It's unsustainable and untenable, and it's also the expectation our audiences have.
If we want to have this conversation, there's plenty of conversation to be had with the realities of the situation. It's bad as is.
#and people get mad at us about 'short updates' lmfao#the companies are absolutely abusing our passion and our desperate situations#but readers genuinely offer little to no grace#if I am going to be able to leave#then the conditions for me to be able to leave need to exist#and they just Dont right now#I'm not making nearly enough to pay my bills without webtoon#I NEED the job#I dont have a car#I cant fucking afford one#I can't drive anyway#I NEED TO WORK#THIS IS MY JOB#I want to leave I'm being mistreated but I CANT!!!#anyways. whatever#I'm so fucking upset that someone just idk spread misinformation#and now the conversation is about like nooo she was under the same shit conditions as everyone else#she's just a really good writer#like okay that's awesome and I'm really glad#but WOULDNT IT BE NICE IF SHE WASNT ALSO OVERWORKED?#AND ALSO IF GOOD WRITERS WERE ABLE TO WRITE WELL WITHOUT HAVING TO BE OUTLIERS???#god it makes me so so so mad!!!!#fucking ruining a really important conversation to have!!!#we're mistreated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! we just are!!!!!!!!!!1#I'm not paid enough to build the savings to take risks!#this 6 month break was EVERYTHING#I NEED to start working to pay my bills now#like it's over I ran out of time#its heartbreaking#I hate it here

The Hawaiian language doesn't attach gender to pronouns, but it does have a complex set of relational pronouns, so you can use a particular pronoun to note for example "all of us (except for that guy)"
.
#aw don't exclude that guy what did he do?#this is fascinating it's almost three in the morning and I'm staring at a wall and marveling how languages work#answered#anonymous#I don't know if you're just sharing a cool fact or if you speak Hawaiian yourself anon#but either way it launched me back into another Hawaii-related rabbit hole that I really can't afford right now#I've been having this slow burn interest in Hawaiian history/nature/indigenous culture since I was a kid#and I don't mean to sound silly but I just love the way the language sounds it's so melodic and dense and instantly recognizable#zapped with free serotonin whenever it gets mentioned anywhere

Hey y'all
I hate to ask for help again when I know I still owe folks some doodles from the last donation drive, but we're in a bit of a spot
My Visa interest and fees come out on Monday and I don't have enough space to cover them. If they bounce I'll be hit with exorbitant overage fees.
If anyone can pitch in a few dollars to help us cover the fees, I'd be extremely grateful. Anything left afterwards will go towards groceries and/or Christmas savings
Thank you for taking the time to read this
#i feel awful asking for help when i know there's folks in much worse situations#but i just can't afford overage fees on top of everything else right now#and! i need to pick up meds this week and it's like $60! which i don't have!#and there's 20 other things i could complain about but you've had to read enough#anyway#mod post#ko-fi#financial stuff#mutual aid

Do you like my art? Do you wish I would draw something specific? Great news!
~COMMISSIONS ARE NOW OPEN!~
If you are interested in commissioning me, please fill out the google form and I'll reach out to you as slots become available!
[Ko-fi - Google Form Link]
#Commission info#PLEASE NOTE ONCE AGAIN: These prices are not USD - these are cheaper than you may think.#I have put a ton of work into this and I am so thankful to everyone who helped me out!#There are still probably bumps I need to iron out as I go but I will try my best. Feedback is very welcome!#If there are a lot of people interested I may have a waitlist but I doubt I'll have that many offers. I'm still pretty new here!#The money I make from this is honestly mostly going to go back into funding this art hobby of mine. Ink is expensive!#Thank you also for all the love and support for my comics. Without it I'd never have the confidence to do commissions.#Even if you can't afford it right now - know I really appreciate it all. From the lurker to the frequent commenter: thank you <3#Don't worry about the horse by the way. She's just here to keep watch.

hello? what's this?? a show that combines sherlock-style cryptic puzzles with creative murders, identity theft, and also comes served with a healthy sprinkling of comedy? starring WILTY's very own david mitchell as an endearing, bumbling, brilliant detective?
ohhhh dear.... this ticks so many of my boxes.... ohhhh no....
trying not to obsess over this potential new pathetic blorbo nice character who is just trying his best.
#bbc ludwig#i can't afford another obsession!!!#but teenage me is screaming at this right now...#where are the fics for this? where is the art? where are the fans?#dont make me write something for this#i'll abandon my ahltred fic if i think of an idea for this and i can't do that to my boys#anyway i enjoyed watching this series#highly recommend#if you also like the above mentioned tropes

I know everyone likes to make fun of Ezra for believing Maul, but I honestly really liked that, because. Like. He's been working so hard to learn to trust people again. His new-found family is teaching him how to open up and how to let himself love others without being too afraid of losing them to connect
And he doesn't immediatly trust Maul, which shows that even if his trust issues are much better now, he's still not stupid and knows to be careful around strangers, especially if you found them inside a Sith Temple
But. Maul shows and tells him what he wants to see; he acts kind with him, reassures him when he's in doubt, and manipulates Ezra (who is a CHILD) into beliving in him so he could get what he wanted
Then he betrays him, and by blinding Kanan, he proves Ezra's 'little me' right
#i actually think it's beautiful how he still keeps trying even after having been hurt so many times#and it's not even about maul hurting him. it's about maul hurting kanan#like if maul hadn't done that then ezra would've been perfectly fine w having him as a slightly evil friend that his entire family hates#part of the reason why i love ezra is because bc even though he's been betrayed#he still works to be better#he still fights for what's right#still helps others. he can and will jump in the middle of the battlefield to save a stranger because that's who he is#and he always trusts his family to watch his back#he's been tempted by the dark side so many times and yet he's still “dark side? never heard of it”#and even when he DOES use the dark side. he gets better. he realices that what he's doing is wrong and GETS BETTER#ezra's world was violently taken away from him when he was only a child#he lived on the street for years with nothing but himself. he learned to never trust anyone and to always think for himself#he couldn't afford to help others (unless it wasn't TOO dangerous and he could get smth out of it) because he can't put himself in danger#he learns to forget his parents's beliefs#then the ghost crew comes along and they show him that world again#and now that he knows it he will never leave it again#star wars#star wars rebels#sw rebels#swr#ezra bridger#darth maul#star wars meta#sw meta#twilight of the apprentice#avis' post

For real tho health freaks who scream about how sugar and salt will kill us all and try to push for restrictions on things like candy and chips for SNAP recipients or politicians who try from time to time to replace food stamps all together and give out Government Approved Staples like bread and peanut butter and Government Cheese are gonna kill a whole lotta sick and disabled people like
Diabetics
POTS sufferers
Hypotensives
People with peanut allergies
People with celiac disease or wheat allergies
The lactose intolerant
People who can't eat solid food
People who are undernourished for any reason and need all the calories they can pack on
So-called "picky eaters" who can't tolerate certain tastes and textures without getting violently ill
A myriad of other human conditions that cannot be neatly tallied into categories because the human body and human experience is vast and infinitely variable
But I don't think ableds really care about us and our health like they like to claim so they can harass us about it, do you?
#tag yourself I'm five out of ten#health food is gonna kill me one day i swear to God#vasovagal syncope/POTS was actually a fun disease to have since the treatment is honestly junk food#to get my sugar and sodium levels up quickly so i don't pass out#but then the United States government in their infinite compassion slashed my food stamps in half#and now i can't afford 'luxeries' like enough chips and candy i need to not faint and concuss myself. again#add the celiac and to a lesser extent the lactose intolerancy and now two fruit allergies...#and I'm paying three times the amount for like fifteen food items and that is accounting for the food inflation even ableds are facing#whatever food shortages ableds are going thru right now i swear to you it's much much worse if you're sick/disabled#stop policing what food people buy with the money their given i don't care if it's a paycheck or welfare#SOMETIMES I'll get a pitiful and defensive 'well how was i supposed to know?!' when i confront people bugging me about this#you don't know so shut your trap about it in the first place#most people just ignore the reason and accuse me of making up excuses to eat 'unhealthy' foods tho#health nut#ableism#systemic ableism#food#Salt blessed Salt

If anyone wants to help a girl obtain some movies from streaming services who would rather gatekeep rare media than release physical copies for people to purchase, I'll trade you all the free books you could ever hope for and my first born child.
Sir Lanval (2011)
Lancelot du Lac (1970)
Les Chevaliers de la table ronde (1958)
I'm also working on possible solutions the best I can!
#I can't afford to buy shit right now#& I don't think rare movies with no physical copies should cost money sorry that's evil#if anyone can help the theater community & I would be eternally grateful#my post

I feel like instead of mellowing with age my emotional meltdowns are getting worse. And also a lot of things about me. are worse.
#i've had the wind in my sails these last couple of weeks#relatively#and then last night i just went to pieces#now i'm exhausted#but i can't afford to lose momentum just yet! i have a bunch of deadlines coming up! and someone visiting that i want to do stuff with#need to keep my spirits up somehow#i cannot! crash right now!#later. november is fine.#i can be a miserable zombie in november.

I fully understand wanting money for this sort of thing but ngl putting out a crowdfund post for a new gaming controller when most of the donation posts on this website are for things like evacuation funds or basic necessities seems..... in poor taste? Not trying to hate I swear, and I don't think you meant anything by it at all , it just looks that way from my point of view
I mean, that's why I'm offering something in return? Bro I'm not just begging for money for a controller, I'm offering a service in return for this.
#Anonymous#asks#Plus if you check my main blog it's been nothing BUT those donation posts#I am quite literally only doing this because I CANNOT and I mean *CANNOT* afford it myself#I can't afford ANYTHING right now I am Dirt Poor I am in a *very bad financial situation*#at the very least I'd like the ability to play a video game i've been looking forward to instead of sitting and twiddling my thumbs going#“ah well them's the breaks” and go back to my 8am -> 9pm work schedule and simply never have fun
