I have a question about your Undercover Angel AU: how often do you plan to update the comic?

As often as the motivation hits. I like the AU and I have a lot of ideas for it, I've just also been captivated by a bunch of other art wips. And I'm still recovering from losing the original sketches, and drawing it all from scratch has been a pain in the ass.

But, it's getting there! The AU isn't abandoned, it's just taking a little nap.

Hey! So I've been following you since you posted a lot about good omens in 2019ish? I remember you talking about wing fics vividly, but I just want to ask:

How are you doing after season 2?

Good! I enjoyed season 2, and I look forward to seeing how things resolve in season 3.

I think there are a lot of folks upset about various things, for various reasons, a lot of which boil down to "the season didn't go how I wanted it to/thought it should go" or "the season didn't end wrapped up neatly like S1 did." Neither of which, imo, are fair judgments of a season that a) isn't that person's story and b) was meant to be a bridge not an ending. Everyone is entitled to their opinions, of course, and to their feelings, but I do wonder how many have taken honest assessment of those feelings and opinions.

In my opinion, it's unfair to claim a story is bad JUST because it didn't do what you wanted it to do. It's not a bad story just because characters didn't act how you predicted or wanted, either. Some of the responses I've seen hinge almost entirely on "but canon didn't do what fanon/I decided is best" usually with the caveat of "before I even saw the season" and that's... ignoble at best. It's fair to criticize poor storytelling, but I feel like you have to have the whole story, or most of it, to do that, and we don't have that. We're actually smack in the middle of the story, by my judgment.

This season was never meant to be The Whole Story, we have known for a long time that there is a season 3 planned (whether or not it's ever able to come to fruition is a separate issue, it has been planned since a long time ago). As such, I don't think it's fair at all to the story to be angry that the season didn't stop at a nice, neat, happily-ever-after, because this isn't the end of the story.

To quote one of my favorite authors, Peter S. Beagle: "Things must happen when it is time for them to happen. Quests may not simply be abandoned; prophecies may not be left to rot like unpicked fruit; unicorns may go unrescued for a very long time, but not forever. The happy ending cannot come in the middle of the story."

They cannot have a happy ending until they've fixed the problems, and even before the end scene there, problems abounded. The unicorns are still unrescued. It's still the middle of the story.

man y'all making the funny Simon Petrikov fanart that's making me snort in laughter: Eg. Simon being in Marceline's fridge, but is anyone else also feeling the horrifying bodyslam of feels because— this kind old man who threw away his sanity for a little girl in the apocalypse is now just reaching for lower and lower points in his life—

Bro probably stuck himself in the fridge to the point of being sick/hurting himself jfjdidjs. That's so messed up.

👑🏆

Make my Muse Talk About:

👑🏆- Mentors/Role Models/Achievements:

"Thank goodness for Keenie!"

"Mentors, hmm....well, besides my mother, of course, but I'd say most of the radio show hosts starting out during my time. Rosie is a darling to look up to, also, I'm always going to her for things I don't understand."

"My achievements! Now we are talking! I'm one of the most feared Overlords in hell! I've managed to knock out some powerful ones in the past, earning my rightful spot- those screams were still to this day delicious to hear! Oh, and not to mention my flare for chaos! It's always fun to rile everyone up now and then. Keeps it fresh!"

whelp, turns out the really insulting low-ball counter-offer pay I got from HR last week was actually from my boss and his boss (the one who asks for loads of extra projects from me) and... like I know that whole "your job won't love you," and all that, but still... that fucking hurt to hear...

This post is already wholesome and uplifting enough on its own, but I have to say

While I know this is not the point of the post, calling it “a bad case of the tinkerbells” makes me feel so much less guilty about wanting to show off my art 🤭

It’s not selfish to want your work appreciated—yes, even if you had fun doing it! (But also like the post says don’t worry if you don’t get a lot of likes/views/kudos. You’re already doing a lot better than you think!)

Statistics that I use to motivate myself

I have a really bad case of the tinkerbells (I need applause to live) so I have these statistics I use to keep myself from getting depressed as a creator*. Here they are. They may help you as well!

In professional marketing, 5% of viewers engaging with a post is positive turnover.

5% of engagers will click the link

5% of link clickers will buy the product

On twitch, the average number of views a live stream has is between 0 and 1

According to social media professionals, 10% of users do all the posting. The other 90% may not even comment.

So if your fanfiction has 100 hits and 5 kudos, you're meeting your goals at fanfiction corp and you're getting your raise this year. If your fanfiction has 100 hits and 10 kudos you're getting a promotion.

If you make a post about your new ttrpg and it gets 20 likes, 10 reblogs, and makes 1 sale, you're doing really well!

If your stream has an average of 1 friend who drops in and chats to you occasionally, you're doing better than average. If you make it to Affiliate you are genuinely doing incredible work.

90% of online creative work is just shunting stuff into the void, and it feels so so so bleak sometimes. But remember. You're doing good at it! Your "flop post" with 3 notes is actually more attention than 90% of internet users get.

Remember not everyone clapping for you is telling you about it. <3

*these statistics are from memory and from anecdotes from various people I have met/seen posts from on the internet. I do not know or care if they are completely accurate thank you

Im late but:

Bee is standing in the doorway with all four of her arms full of presents and wearing a hat, Chase is next to her but he looks mildly annoyed. Lindy is in her full bunny form just vibing, super excited because she made matching key rings for her and Sol, Coiseam would stop by but it’s Christmas Eve and she’s running the train! and Barbie and Ken are - confused but so supportive! If Helen, Jack, and Harper were there you would have three very confused hitmen but let them have a family ok?

Unprompted , always accepting!

She blinked, a confused look on her face and pausing her game. Pulling the oversized mothra blanket off, rather surprised. Soldan hasn't gotten much, mostly stayed quiet to recover. "Well, thiss was unexpected. Eh, c'mon in. Been a while ssince I've seen you guys anyway. I'll ssend Coiseam ssomethin', I got it prepared." Yet, pulling a very cheeky move. Kissing Chase and Bee on the cheek, walking off with a smug smile. "Worth it."

//I'm so glad you are who you are and I hope you have a wonderful end of the year!

Y'know, you always catch me when I'm in the dumps. This time, my own body made me sick. My body hurts, my sinuses are malfunctioning. I feel gross, even after a shower.

And in the end, I log into the account and find the kindest person. This has made my year. I'm so hypercritical of myself and often double think myself. Thank you. A toast! I (very weakly) raise a glass of lemonade to you. 🍋 🍹

I hope this goes away before Christmas cuz I'm indulging in cheesecake for the rest of the year.
