Disney, releasing Wish: "so it's all about legacy--the new generation surpassing the old, overcoming the evils perpetuated by them, relinquishing singular power... and there's an old man in a tower, uh... animal sidekick, i guess..., ah... magic...?
Miyazaki, just out of frame, sledgehammer raised:
#the boy and the heron#not tagging wish 'cause i'm being a little acidic#this isn't to be negative in the slightest--I really respect both films--but it's interesting to see how visceral boy+H gets with its story#what evils have to be rejected and what they represent--and how characters and the world suffer from those evils--as well as how the whole#'rejecting' part goes. in terms of animation powerhouses discussing their legacies - disney and miyazaki both - I find it interesting that#one makes a pretty safe and nostalgic movie about imagination and dreams; the other is a long trudge through the land of the dead.#b+h is a hard watch - and a look at the legacy of a man questioning his whole purpose in the world - after his cultural touchstones#have long passed by. Mahito needs to understand his grief to keep living--but if he drowns in it he'll just continue the cannibalistic and#violent world of his granduncle. how the hell do you make art when the trauma of your entire life has colored it forever? How can anyone?#maybe after a while... it's time to detonate that damn tower and keep living.#this is to say#if you have enough money to make whatever you want#Make It Fucking Count

Hello! I just discovered your blog and I immediately became captivated by your webcomic, but I'm unsure where to read all of it. I know it's on Webtoons, but I can see it hasn't been updated for a while, and you still post about it.
Are your physical novels just prints of the webcomic? Are they a continuation? Is the story complete? Thanks in advance!
Hi there!
Glad you found me and are enjoying my comic!
It's only on webtoons, and the story is not complete yet! We're 2/3 of the way through right now. It's currently on hiatus, and it's scheduled to come back in about 2 months!
I'll explain why it's been so long if you're curious, but also for my followers who might also be wondering about it under the cut. Sorry, it's pretty much just me complaining haha
I took a month off I took 2 months to get the books printed I took a month to prepare my next comic and I took 2 months to write the rest of the series (I knew the character arcs I wanted, but not the time periods or mysteries!!!) I've been working on actual episodes since then
I had to take some time off because of some pretty extreme burnout due to the sheer amount of work it was to draw over 800 pages and write 6 complete stories in a year and a half... I was getting sick almost weekly due to the overwork, it was really really bad honestly. I was having to work 60+ hours every week just to keep up...
The nature of the comic itself is also difficult... Each of the arcs is a complete, self contained story which can be read (ideally) without context, and my arcs need to be about 10-13 episodes each... And since I have an exact number of episodes to work with, it's even harder.
It takes a ton of planning and a ton of refinement, and working week to week with no breaks I was forced to put out second or even first drafts, so I just wasn't happy with the work I was doing... And to do that for the rest of the series? I wouldn't be proud of the work I did.
Plus... To be entirely honest, webtoon has treated me quite badly IN MY OPINION... They deprioritized me before I launched (I had to beg for more promotion, I'm not exaggerating), they outright denied me the opportunity to even ask for a raise, I don't make any money on fast pass and they pay me less than my partner makes working at trader joes. My first editor left me completely hanging, my second editor (who I loved) was fired... And they told me I wouldn't get a third season before my first season even finished. So it was just repeatedly completely demoralizing.
I'm sorry it has taken so long, it'll have been 10 months by the time I come back. But I realized... I won't get promotion either way. I won't get more episodes either way. I won't get more money either way. So to finish everything, to make it feel good, to make it something I'm proud of, I chose to take longer to make it better.
I am fully aware I will lose a significant amount of my readership for this and it might genuinely affect my career moving forward. But it's what I had to do! So I'm sticking to my guns on it, and I'm confident long term it'll be worth it. It never could have been this good if I didn't take this much time.
#asks#steakandpeanutbuttersandwiches#I'm SO sorry youre new and you asked me such a benign question and I responded with... this... LMAO#I swear to god I tried to make it as short as possible#theres just a lot auauuaghkhgjk#basically. way too much work. not enough money.#so it either is gonna be good and take longer or be worse but come back faster#and I chose to take longer#so.#I'm really sorry and I wish that this decision didn't also come with the... pretty much guarantee that it will negatively impact my career.#I will lose readers. I will lose potential readers for my future work. it looks bad on me as a creator to take such a big break. etc. etc.#but it's good. it's so good. you have to trust me it's like the best stuff Ive ever written#it. ok well to be honest#it'll probably feel extremely simple and extremely natural#but it's been SO much work LMAO#I am not exaggerating I have written over 200 pages of scapped ideas to get to where it is#I'm sure it won't make sense why it took so long while reading but you gotta trust me LMAO#ideally it doesnt even 'feel' different right. cause its gotta be cohesive with the whole thing#but there is SO MUCH TO WRAP UP#THERES SO MUCH#and to make that feel natural in this little space oh my GOD it is so hard#ok omfg I'm doing it again I'm going on way too long again IM SO SORRY#YOURE NEW HERE AND IM DOING THIS IMMEDIATELy#this is like 90% for my followers who I know are curious about this and I'm just using you as a jumping off point to talk about it#cause I don't really like to make standalone posts very often#I likely will make some kind of official announcement about it when the date is extremely set in stone#right now I think it's still only tentatively scheduled so it could still change#and I'll say something more... refined and restrained... then.#but for now this is like. actually everything. I think#I'm sure I forgot something but whatever lmfao

i love that lego gave kenji his hair back lmao
#jwct#jurassic world chaos theory#as it shouldve been 🙏🙏#man itd be so amusing to have them as lil lego guys but lego is so fucking expensive what the hell#its also very curious that darius and sammy are the only ones to have two minifigures of them#while brooklynn has 0. makes me wonder if they have future plans for more sets#i know lego probably didnt care enough to fix kenji's hair but either way i like it#which also makes me wonder if they had a camp cretaceous set with kenji in mind that was scrapped and they just reused him for the ct one#cause the only camp cretaceous set with sammy and darius makes no sense at all in canon#either way im immensely amused and id have them all if i had money and space#having ben's van as lego would be so cool..#isnt it curious that they separated the girlfriends 💔💔

It still blows my mind that no body wants to own movies or CDs. Like I don't like not owning any movies or shows I like and wanna rewatch. Maybe I sound like a boomer but I'm not planning on paying for Netflix for the rest of my damn life just for this one movie I love that their hosting. Imma go on the internet and get the DVD.
We really shouldn't allow these streaming services to kill DVDs and CDs. We should not let them kill physical media. They want you to not have a physical copy, so that when you stop paying, you don't have access to the product your paying for. Buy more CDs. Buy more DVDs. Buy a damn VCR. I mean shit, a fucking Xbox or playstation can play any DVD, blue ray or not. Your car has a radio for a reason.
Don't let them kill physical media. Because if or when the cards fall, you'll be left with nothing.
#levi speaks#listen im not the type to be like all streaming services are bad#there are some good ones#but dont contribute to somethign you know is killing your ability to access it without their help#they make more money for you paying every month for a netflix and Spotify subscription then you going out and buying the dvds and cds#subscriptions make more money than one time purchases#and you've been raised that thats normal#it isnt#its greed#what happened to personal piracy?#burning cds with your favorite tracks#recording movies off the tv#lets bring digital piracy back#cause theirs no way im paying $7 a month just to listen to one song#im finding the youtube lyric video on the internet using the ytube to mp3 downloaders and listening to that file all on my own#fuck you netflix and spotify and every other bs service#except for shudder shudder is fine#shudder is baby girl and highlights young small horror artists#fuck everybody else#the only reason i can justify netflix is because they have enough Netflix exclusives that make it worth it#they dont put their money where their mout is in terms of representation tho

just so we're all clear i do check the fundraisers i reblog to make sure they're legitimate. many of them have the verification in the post itself, ie, "verified by [xyz user]" but i do look just in case.
#just posting this because yeah i have Seen the palestinian scammers posts from people and i think they are very bad faith#or relying on random facts to 'debunk' the legitimacy of a fundraiser that have pretty obvious explanations#“the gofundme isn't based in gaza” yeah because usually they're sponsored by someone out of the country#“they all write the same” they're probably not native english speakers and may be relying on google translate or easy#stock phrases#“there's a bunch of variations on the same guy” arabic names can get transliterated into english in many different ways#and many of the people who verify campaigns have called out scammers piggybacking off this cause before#well at the end of the day its your own money and you're responsible for where you donate#if you want to give it to UNRWA or PCRF then fair enough those organizations help too#i'd rather risk getting scammed out of $10 than risk mocking someone's fundraiser when they're in a desperate situation

Prev reblog, imagine if they all fought for Fernando's love 🥹
Flavio who devoted and then killed his career in service to Fernando, Carlos Sr. who Fernando has looked up to and known for 20+ years, Lawrence who can provide for Fernando with his deep pockets, Adrian who has the potential to build Fernando a winning car
Who will he pick!!!! I vote Carlos Sr 🤭🤭
#uhhhhh hmm what are the tropes#idk i feel like both flavio and lawrence have a sugar daddy vibe but in different ways#like lawrence is a straight up sugar daddy literally putting so much money towards fernando#Flavio was/is more like offering a path on which Fernando can succeed#adrian is hmmmm yeah idk if theres any trope for that hsjfjf#like. to me i feel like newey was drawn to aston for several reasons#1. money obv 2. location/ease 3. the potential to build a midfield team into a top team#HOWEVER 4. finally getting to work with Fernando which he's said he'd like to do#so the trope is like. getting to give him a redemption arc#(<- i wanna cry cause ive seen Nando say he probably won't stay long enough to reap the rewards UGH)#anyhow#carlos sr is obviously longtime friends to lovers#aaagghhh even apart from joke shipping i really think their relationship is so cute 😭#there were so many moments in his show that made me 🥹 like wow they're such good friends#anyways. having many old man yaoi thoughts lately......#i think its so funny how we consider him to be the old man of f1#but he has like at least 4 actual old men who hes sedu- i mean befriended and works with of course#time to make ship names everybody!!!#(i is why he was nicer to seb after he came back. cause he was an old man! dhfjkf in the context of f1)#fernando alonso#f1#catie.rambling.txt

honestly my landlord making the third unit in our townhouse into an airbnb is incredibly fucked and sinister and indicative of so fucking many problems in the states however. also a little funny. she maybe didnt think to check whether the other neighbors dogs bark literally all day long but boy do those dogs love to bark all day long and she is going to get so many complaints
#i feel like i manifested this on accident#i came home like three days ago and just stopped and stared at my door for a while before unlocking it#because i got a sudden flash of that one photo that was going around#of the door painted with 'a family used to live here' on an airbnb#and i kind of shook it off and went god that would be fucked. i hope that doesnt happen here#and then literally today my neighbor was like yeah shes turning the third unit into an airbnb#have i mentioned recently enough how much i hate airbnbs#cause its so so much#i hope she loses so much money#im gonna sit on the front steps shirtless with my pitbull and she can deal with that

God, I NEED to move out but I CAN'T
#i dont have money and the government hates students and i cant work and id probably die from not eating enough#and obviously its not my responsibility but i dont wanna move out cause i feel like thatd fuck up my dads mental health even more#but i need my own space and actual privacy and quiet and independence#like my sisters only 2 years older than me and she moved out 2 years ago and shes already moving again#and shes probably getting engaged soon and she already got accepted to ammattikorkeakoulu#meanwhile im not even close to graduating lukio

i put pokemon card mystery packs on my etsy just now. just a stack of bulk from my year of collecting pokemon cards. i'll be turning in a bunch of bulk to the card shops, but I thought wouldnt it be fun to make my own mystery packs? i always loved goodie bags, grab bags, blind bags, and gacha. its a thrill of opening something and getting something unexpected more than the items themselves.
altho getting a $100 card is pretty neat. Here's the link if you're interested~ https://www.etsy.com/listing/1717302949/pokemon-tcg-bulk-mystery-goodie-pack-of
#full transparency there wont be any cards THAT rare in my mystery packs. just bulk some holos a neat button pin and a random figure#i bought a whole pack of pokemon figures and i've been giving them to my friends because theyre so funny#so the mystery pack will include those. also a hichew candy cause i like those and i have a lot haha#idk something for kids#this one card shop i go to has pokemon mystery boxes for 10-20 bucks that has cards and party goodies#so its kinda like that. a small treat to throw at a child. like WHAM merry birthday jimmy#each card is hand picked i didnt want to have too many cards from the same set in one pack. variety ya know#this other card shop i go to i get these mystery packs and theyre like all pokemon go and i got upset#i still buy those sets. speaking of i think ill pass by the shop today and sell a stack of bulk#i have...a lot of bulk my dude. i opened so many packs i gotta get some money back#i have cards rare enough to make all that money back but i wanna do it the fun way. with mystery packs and negotiation ahhha#so the cards are in rainbow order#i got a carpack for 6.99 at cvs of 10-15 cards. reselling. and i was like. this is lame but its a good lesson#also at target 30 cards also for 6.99 just as lame#mine will be better. mine is rainbow order with a toy and candy because i am better than grown men

At this point... I'll just unfollow whichever mf uses ai art
#ai art#ai generated#ai artwork#ai#fuck ai everything#fuck ai all my homies hate ai#fuck ai art#fuck ai bros#like nah unless u wanna make or get someone else to make art... dont even bother#and like... this isnt an economic thing... cause invariably those who most utilise ai art can afford to pay a fucking person#fuck the ai movement#if you're not in the position to buy art just create it yourself#but for advertising ESPECIALLY#if ur own art isnt enough or good enough.... consider other means#also there are plenty artists out there who charge affordable prices and are being ignored because ai is quick and easy#so maybe just shop around?#idk i just have an aversion to anything created by ai#cause to me... art is the one most human expression#in whatever form#its the protest and experience of a living being#and literally anyone can engage in it#its a form of human expression#or the expression of any creature with a perspective and experience#shout out to dogs cats and elephants... and any creature whose artwork I've not seen yet#because art takes soul#not mindless meaningless prompts and algorithms designed to make money

ALL CUSTOMERS BEED TO EXPLODE
#look. see. look at me. when a store is using self checkout and you dont want to use it. ask nicely.#tell the employee oh can i have a cashier please? would you be able to check me out? etc#you dont need to berate them. you dont need to tell them its their job or they arent working or give an attitude.#cause if you do. that employee is going to be withholding the urge to kill you the entire interaction.#and if you thibk they arent working hard enough. tell me why someone who is being paid the bare minimum#the smallest amount of money legally possible#should be working hard#talk tag

What do you think Mine’s reaction to Masato / Aoki be like?
tbh they'd probably be. amicable. at the very least.
#snap chats#like they have similar values its just that mine's more openly depressed about his belief system and doesn't take pride in it like aoki#i talked about this before omg thats so funny... but yeah no aoki's more proud of 'how the world is'. prob cause he's 'on top' of it#mine begrudges the fact he needs material goods to be useful to people#meanwhile aoki's happy to exploit others if it means he advances. for the most part anyway#he only really starts to show some regret when confronted by ichi. and get the shit kicked out of him for twenty minutes#wait i was rewatching the cutscene and started to throw up cause i got reminded of me in high school again aoki you're 42 stop this#Back On Track Though. mine and aoki had similar pursuits: attain power to be loved thats the core of it in simple terms#they went about it differently ofc: for mine money was power and for aoki popularity was power. Both Very True TBH but anyway#mine realized that even with money his person wasnt valued#and aoki realized that even with recognition people didn't value his character. sins the arakawas. fcukin dummy#i mean aokis a jackass so no wonder but thats not the point of this. fuckfest of tags#they wouldnt be friends. aoki's incapable of friendship and mine would probably quickly recognize aoki as being power hungry#i think mine's been in enough business meetings And Knows Enough About Politics to recognize Professional Fakerism when he sees it#actually do you think mine'd be swindled by any 'kindness' aoki expressed like when kanda left him and he thought he just went to get help.#that shit was wack LMAO BUT REGARDLESS idk i have to go to class soon so im not gonna spend too much time thinking of this#if they needed to they'd just use each other for whatever purpose they needed the other for. idk why mine would need aoki tho#TLDR mine probably wouldnt think too differently of aoki compared to any other power-hungry freak#we can revisit this topic when. im not learning about JP history vjERJALKJ
