isra knows that attending these society events only aid her mission . listen , observe , absorb — words drilled into her psyche from the earliest days of her training . decades ago , now . but what she wouldn't give to enjoy , for every move she makes to not have additional motives , to not hide under layers of deceit . to simply be . if only she could enjoy the music and dance , but until she finds a viable exit from this life , she must endure perpetual internal conflict .
as applause for the previous set fades out , isra glances at the person next to her from her periphery first , before turning her head toward them . " how wonderful . i wonder what sort of act will follow … ? " she muses , loud enough for them to hear .

before the reckoning , ' uncertainty ' and the hatzfeld name did not ( or , rather , could not ) coexist in hugo's universe . not friends for as long as he could remember , no , but certainly for a significant amount of time . and yet for the past year , give or take , the two frequently exist in tandem . a sensation the lord fersen remains unaccustomed to , but does his best to act as if nothing has changed between them and him . he leans over the table in the common room , glass of water in hand , heaving a sigh . " did you bring any wine with you ? " he asks @flcralhaze with a tired smile . an attempt at their usual camaraderie . " i don't know why the idea of this breakfast has me on - edge . "

i only read tumblr once a day because i [try] to stay sane so only just caught up with the art discourse, which I do have some bits n shit I want to add: a bit fasile for one but, dont you as an artist have upkeep and resource needs to produce? even if its just like...computer, tablet and necessities to continue existence because art takes time to make, those are real, and cost money. "art" in an absolute sense can be made for free with minimal time through just thinking, but like, a webcomic that is a physical thing made of electronic patterns and hosted on a server, takes time and takes stuff. "Webcomics" isnt a free infinitely repeating resource, and you are more than a machine to create webcomic, and none of us are infinite as a resource! at worst, art hits public domain eventually. that said even from that place of survival in capitalistic society it DOES make sense to at least have free public facing art as PROMOTION even if its just idk downtime sketches, doodles, memes, fanart etc so like im not 100% disagreeing yknow, and I am not and artists cant be a paying consumer my/their own art, art has to exist for the self too, the self that isnt a "paying class", or i just start making marvel movies and then its time to find my cool wet hole in the dirt and express my creative individuality like im a mathmatician of statistical analysis of fluid dynamics.
now that im awake i was going to answer these point by point, but this kind of flies past my point that making art exclusively for those who pay is abysmal and treating your audience like they're thieves is a poisonous and off-putting response to one's perceived "loss of income" (which is not even theft because the item being "stolen" can be reproduced infinitely. im talking about like a digital image like a comic page and not a physical item where there's limited copies lol). people either want to pay you or they dont; you can't force people to pay you by making access to your work harder, worse, more inconvenient, and more degrading to your audience. you can't induce artificial scarcity and be a good person.
like yeah obviously art production takes money. that's why most artists work desk jobs instead of trying to make it a solo venture and just expecting the world around them to pick up their slack. i didn't come out of a lotus blossom with a tablet ready to go, i worked desk jobs from age 15-24 in order to have enough savings to cushion myself if need be and pay for base supplies. i use tablets and items gifted/sold to me at a steep discount by my friends. i lived really poor in order to have the life i wanted. and i really loved it lol. i still think of that time so fondly.
once the comic is produced and posted, it is free for my audience to look at and the reproduction costs of the finished image is 0 dollars. it can be copied and reposted freely without charge. it costs me basically nothing to host. the production costs are currently covered by patreon donations. if they were no longer covered by patreon donations i would get a desk job instead of making my choice to go into the financially unsuccessful field of the arts my audience's personal problem to solve. if i don't make things people want to buy, that's my problem and not my audience's.
yeah, it would suck to have to stop doing this because its no longer financially viable (it is really financially hard right now; the state of the world around us is not conductive to the patreon life), but i wasn't entitled to it anyway. i get to make art for a living bc i have an audience that permits me to. why would i start treating them like dogshit or lying about value of my work to squeeze extra money out of them after what they gifted me?

open starter!!
setting -> main hall of fasil ghebbi, a couple of days after the welcome breakfast as everyone has settled in, late-morning on a clear, sunny day.
status -> accepting replies!
" seriously? have you seen the skies? " haspira's voice had risen in the hall with exasperation - gesturing grandly to the large, arched, open windows that displayed nothing but beautiful pale fluffy clouds against a baby blue backdrop. " going to rain... pah. " she scoffed then, arms crossing with indignation, as she glared down the guard in which she was captured within an argument. " perhaps i go myself then, and you can explain to the abduls why their beloved sister-in-law suffered a grave fate. " but the guard was unmoving in their resolve... and haspira sighed, turning in defeat before locking eyes with another. " i don't suppose that you would be interested in exploring one of the simien mountain trails today, would you? "
