The manga industry, especially JUMP, needs to hurry up and do away with weekly scheduling for mangaka. There needs to better regulations put into place for their health and safety because this is pitiful. Two weeks - monthly updates should’ve already been the standard for the manga industry at this point. These money grabbers will only continue to put the lives of these artists at stake for the sake of capitalism unless some serious changes are implemented.
#it’s just???#at the end of the day all these people want to do is draw and write their stories and share them with the world#why is death from stress the end game for so many of them#this should not be part of the package when finally deciding that this is what you want to do with your life#rambling#I still never got over miura’s passing man#and Togashi is still here but he’s been suffering from the consequences of overwork#it’s just… all so bleak#fans just need to learn to be patient if these changes are ever made and to be respectful#your fav series is not gonna die just because you can’t get it right now#I’m glad that gege does this now like he takes a break every 2-3 chapters and that’s good#this should be normalized

if usamericans are excited about the concept of anti-colonialism in other countries oooh boy do i have some exciting news for you...you can practice decolonization right here at home!
#cupid.txt#im very glad we're anti colonialism dont get me wrong and solidarity with all indigenous peoples suffering under colonialism#but i sometimes wonder if kids-and others who just dont know about history i guess- know that their passion can#be used where they live as well#like we're still in a colonized country we're still living with the history of genocide and mass cultural upheaval#if you read anything about how the land and peoples here were treated during colonial times--it was apocalyptic in nature#please care about the history of the land you live on

my favorite thing about baek hyun-woo's portrayal is that he isn't even a loser. he's an incredibly cool and competent lawyer who also happens to act like a loser
#queen of tears#so glad nature is healing from the 'asshole rich man x clueless poor girl' dynamic#and is instead doing 'assrole rich woman x clueless poor man'#also like. they may have done this somewhat unintentionally but it's v much a portrayal of how men can suffer domestic/verbal abuse#unintentional in that they might not have thought 'oh this is literally abuse' while writing it. but it super is#and i think it's really interesting to see just how much hyun-woo and the other husbands suppress themselves despite being very competent#bc they're told so often that they're incompetent and useless#that's how psychological abuse gets you babes!

Is it just me, or is the writing of the new Percy Jackson show kind of brilliant? Especially when you compare it to the original books.
Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the books a lot, and I'm not trying to tear them down. But the actual structure of the books involves a lot of the kids just sort of bumbling from one greek myth to another.
As you get Percy's POV a lot of the fun of those scenes is figuring out which greek myth is playing out - but in the show they recognise this right off the bat, which allows them to dive a little deeper.
So instead of spending time figuring out that Aunty Em is Medusa, they immediately make the connection and instead the story focuses on whether or not Medusa is actually a villain.
And the amount of characterization they've built into each monster encounter is *chefs kiss* they've made them all so personal to our trio of heroes.
I've rarely seen a book-to-screen adaption that succeeded in adding to the depth of the original story like this and I'm so here for it!
#Also seeing Grover take on Ares was soooo good#Or watching Percy and Annabeths growing trust in how they handled the chair-trap#Like these kids are not just stumbling around and getting lucky they're MAKING CHOICES and I'm here for it#Also very glad to see that Rick Riordan is so involved with the writing of the show#And I get that there are some changes and if you wanted a 1:1 adaption you might be dissatisfied#but personally I think trying to adapt book to screen as a 1:1 never works and the screen version always suffers.#pjo#percy jackson#percy jackon and the olympians#percy jackson series

lol I did it first
#invincible spoilers#invincible#i understand production times and the script would have been written and everything recorded ages ago guys#but still makes me laugh a bit#glad they gave her more to do in the levy confrontation#not sure how I feel about 'she totes evil in all other dimensions too' but I mean#whatever I doubt we're going to get any follow up on that from her end#tho alt marks running into her and still being mamas boys w her around would be hilarious#like oh want me to kill this guy for you mom? : ) oh haha honey no lets go uh... keep them alive so they can suffer instead?#Debbie Grayson#Angstrom Levy

Rough WIPs / doodles for DnD Qalaari ! We haven't started our campaign yet but I’m taking that time to try to figure out how she might look a little ! I’m not quite There™ yet in terms of showing how heavy and massive she is and feels (I really want her to feel like a draft horse... but with horns, because minotaur >:^) ) Her minotaur design is mainly based on 1) her Charr design from GW2 and 2) an animal called a takin ! They’re big & extremely cute goats that live around the Himalayas. I’m playing her as a Path of the Beast Barbarian - but she doesn't like raging so... it’ll be a tug of war between my and my DM to force me to use my full kit in fights >8^D Last picture is a little drawing of her and @ependasketchpad ‘s super cool tough lady, Tarja ! They’re taking a bit of a rest and down time so that Qalaa can engrave Tarja’s tusks 😊
#beary sketch#qalaari#qalaa#qalaari croquelune#im so glad i'm digging out my big girl again nowadays#she's so SO dear to my heart...#one day she'll get a girlfriend i promise i'll find that for her LMAO one day#she doesnt get to be happy quite yet tho :^)#blorbo suffering priviledge#can't wait to start our campaign and put her in the fucking emotions blender#because let me tell you guys#my DM has MATERIAL to make her suffer#and knowing him her WILL use it#dnd#dungeons and dragons#minotaur#anthro#dnd art#dnd character#barbarian#dnd barbarian

Rest under the cut. It's cruelly ironic that this zine I worked on for this summer's Queer Game Jam was created during one of the most uncertain weeks in my life. If you'd like to support me and my work (and get me out of a tough spot) then please consider buying the zine or taking one of my emergency commission slots.
#max draws things#image undescribed#queer games#transgender#transmasc#gender dysphoria#eyestrain#cw eyestrain#amaury colette#meowlian#i am. kind of going through it rn#but im glad i was able to get this done#the use of amaury here wasn't entirely intentional and isn't necessarily reflective of who he is as a character#just decided to use him for his original purpose of being a self insert character?#i guess in this case though he's more just a vehicle for suffering#im sure there are more tags to add but im tired#personally my favorite page to work on out of the entire project was the 'some days are better than others' one

not the other person but i do have a business question. why not etsy? and also do you have other suggestions similar or just avoid the whole thing?
Once upon a time Etsy was a good place to start out, but these days it's a nightmare site that is VERY hostile towards sellers and will take a large percentage of your sales while giving you almost nothing in return besides access to their marketplace (which is now overrun with dropshippers, stolen art, etc). The whole star seller BS along with getting forced into paying for advertising if you do well there are just two of many reasons why. If you start out on Etsy it will be much harder to move your shop somewhere else later on compaired to just starting somewhere else. Idk a good alternative to Etsy (like specifically to sell handmade things & art), I don't think any have taken off enough to compete with it. My suggestion is to go straight to having your own website and using shopify or something similar to facilitate sales. Also start a mailing list ASAP. Do not rely on marketplaces like Etsy or social media sites to be your only way to find customers. Just look at how twitter's doing these days for a painful example of why...
#ask#witch vamp#every time i see some artist i know suffering from etsy getting worse all the time i'm glad i left#it's only gone more downhill since then#just don't do it :[

How insane it is that she’s been raising 2 kids alone and running, protecting a community but hasn’t felt safe in near a decade. And the one man that gives her security was pushing her away
me when rick said he wasn't going home:
i'm so glad danai gurira is the genius she is and that both she and andy are the actors they are because in less talented hands rick's behavior may have been unforgivable. because what the FUCK rick?? i'm probably rick grimes' number one apologist and even I wanted to smack him, even while feeling incredibly sad for him. hell I'm pretty sure he'd go back in time and punch himself in the face for hurting her like that if he could. LUCKILY FOR US THOUGH towl (and 1x04 in particular) is fucking great and all of this just made them stronger :')
but yeah, it's honestly devastating when you think about how michonne went through all of that grief and pain and suffering for years, suffered even more trying to find him, all the while thinking everything would be okay again once she got him back. because it really is only when he's around that she doesn't feel like she has to be so strong all the time, doesn't have to be so self-reliant, can be vulnerable and soft because she knows she has a real partner who will protect her and their kids and will help her carry the weight of everything they have to deal with. for years she didn't have that anymore and had to go back to being hard and hyper vigilant, constantly. only to find him and instead of finally being able to let her guard down again, had to fight him for him. because all of his strength had been replaced by fear.
like, that really is the love of her life and he must really be worth it, really must make her feel safe on a level so profound that she was literally wiling to do anything to get him back because my god, anyone else really would have walked. anyone else wouldn't have tried to find him in the first place. she really is the strongest woman alive. and for what it's worth i don't think there's any question that rick knows this and is gonna spend the rest of his life making it up to her and living up to who she deserves him to be.
#richonne#the ones who live#i love rick and i wasn't really mad at him because i could see where he was coming from but DUDE. BRUH#she raised your kids. she never moved on in almost a decade#suffered horrible traumas of her own THAT YOU CAN SEE THE PHYSICAL EVIDENCE OF#she saved your LIFE#almost died herself trying to get to you and then you have the AUDACITY to not only refuse to go home with her#but to throw the fact that she left her kids (yet another thing you can see she is in pain over) in her face??#CHOKE!!#i'm glad she left and made him chase after her on his old man legs it's what he deserved lmao

"Death is nothing, but to live defeated and inglorious is to die daily."
+ process(tw blood)
Also, look at him, bloody little guy 🥹
This drawing was inspired by several matador pics :D here and here:
^ I don't think I'll ever live up to the second one ah. There's several pics of that specific guy just soaked with blood, and I'm uh a bit obsessed with then ITS FUCKED UP I KNOW OKAY! But I've not drawn blood in a while so it was a bit difficult so I added less than I would want to I guess. Also I'm obsessed with how often they kneel in bullfighting?? Like okay who are you arching your back and spreading your legs for-
#ah not 100% sure abt this one but i think i still like it!!!#i was practicing matador poses during the wknd and im like yeah should prob paint one#and then it felt like all the energy left my body djfkkglg i was like ugh how do i paint again?????#mostly: just really wanted to draw him bloody#i love how every time i draw him in ferrari colors its just the most eye bleeding thing ever#my eyes get too used to it on my ipad's display and im like aw this isnt red enough :(#and then i transfer it to my phone and it feels like the red suddenly is hurting my eyes even worse djfkkglg#im glad the blood turned out well. i honestly think it was probably easier bcs the clothes are red already#but yes yes suffering ferrari nando. hes my comfort character atp 😭😭#perfect catie drawing: depressed ferrari fernando. blood. napoleon quote#anyways yeah lmk! i think it looks okay?? idk i think i just love the first 2 matador drawings i ever did#and its very hard to live up to them. but whatever. we move on#im glad i did a more complicated pose at least ?????#also god i was somewhat annoyed w his face and then i redrew his eye and it was like OH OKAY suddenly good okay#tw blood#<- i would put this drawing under the cut but like. my blog i do what i want and i want to draw blood#i used to draw bloody stuff a lot more but ah idk less opportunities now sjfkkglg so it was kinda nice#catie.art.#f1#formula 1#fernando alonso#matador au

AUGHHHHHHHHHHHH#idk. idk. i know animal jam is far past its glory days and it needs to do this to survive. and i definitely do not want this game to die.#but it is really going full capitalism mode. and i think the content and the players and the devs are really suffering from that. idk.#jamblr#i do really enjoy doing the nonogram puzzles and i absolutely love the dungeons. i'm glad they give me stuff to sell. but man. i kind of ju#t wish it wasn't so much like this yknow#ramblings#bangers

The regular pat video is making me realize being a mobile games fan is an inherently different experience from being a main games fan
#I find the video genuinely interesting so I'm willing to endure it but. I really do not enjoy the mobile game slander#It just speaks of an unwillingness to engage or give goodwill to me#Like hey. I find skuld plenty interesting. I think her friendship with Player and ephemer is cool#And I like that she has repeated canon parallels to ava. That she was chosen to be a leader. That she strived for inter-union peace#Maybe out of all the union leaders she's got the least current focus but. I feel regular pat is deliberately not engaging with her#And that makes me sad. Give her some credit beyond “she might be subject x” huh?#Don't get me started on the dark road slander.#I know it's not the best game and the story suffered cuts but his attitude feels unjustly dismissive#Baldr is an interesting villain and im glad he made top 100 despite the repeated digs!!!#I think a character that examines societal pressure & mental health and mass violence is pretty interesting and topical!#Especially considering the ramifications his actions had on Eraqus and Xehanort!#And perhaps you could conceptualize the value he has to the story if you gave the mobile games a chance :3#Rant over im not even done with the video yet I just needed to be pissy for a second

i love till but i know in my heart, i would not have minded greatly if ivan had won because then we’d get traumatized and grieving ivan who would have been surely on the verge of insanity and luka would’ve come along skipping and singing and pretending to be till until ivan just snapped and lunged at him, teeth bared.
all the polite veneer and high class charm and civilized aloofness would’ve slid right off his face and the snarling feral slum kid he used to be would’ve awakened <3
idk guys, the thought of luka imitating fiery head-banging till sends me into a fit of giggles. i also think ivan would’ve been able to pick luka up and chuck him off the stage.
#anyways im still very glad till is alive though#i probably would’ve been traumatized even more if he had died#i want till alive even if he’s traumatized 🥲🥲#i hope till gets to swing something at luka’s head#me and ivan 😔🤝😔💕 loving till and wanting him alive even if he’s suffering#alnst ivan#alnst luka#alnst till#alien stage

"We can get through this by working together, reach out to your friends, community is all we have, a social network will be your security in the world, now is the time to lean on others!"
I do agree, and it's scientifically sound (pretty sure there is data about how people with better social networks live longer and etc) but also....augh..... what about the severe social issues, difficulty to leave the house, physical issues which lead to like zero socialization energy a majority of the time, etc. etc. Social support can be a replacement for structural support, but.. I guess I just wish it didn't have to be. Community is extremely difficult to build, even moreso if you're someone who has issues with social cues or group conversations or even just being around others in the first place. And blah, nuance, of course I'm just complaining or maybe being too negative or maybe misunderstanding, but, I hardly have the energy to brush my hair once every 2 months.. how am I supposed to maintain a wide social network and be active in a Community and Join Groups lol... sometimes it kind of feels like "er.. well if thats my only option then...... ruh roh". It's overwhelming
#Kind of like some post I saw a long time ago talking about how even the meanest shittiest most difficult to get along with#elderly people or whaever still deserve to have some sort of systems in place to support them so they're not just relying on the#grace of relatives or etc. who may not be able to deal with them. Not saying that I'm like mean and cruel or anything#but the fact of the matter is in most social situations either I am compromising or the other person is. Not in like an ~`ouuu im so weirdd#nobody willever understand my quirky swagg hee heee~' way but like a.. Just factually the things that make me happy and comfortable#are often incompatible with people. The way I communicate and process things is different from the way other people do and that#is always a barrier. I cannot have ''easy''' interactions. Even with 'understanding' people there is nearly always a significant#amount of effort. You can't walk into a group of people and then be like ''okay you guys all have to wear#masks and you also cant play music too loud and also we should communicate turns of speaking very clearly so group conversations#arent too stressful. and also i need this and that and we have to do this and that and '' etc. etc. You CAN. And some people will#go along with that. but they will ALWAYS secretly resent you for it. You will be the one person they're relieved to not have to be around.#theyre glad when you dont show up since they can go back to doing things however they want and not masking and all these boring#annoying things. OR you can say none of that and just deal with the loud music and the talking and the unmasked people. but then#YOU'RE compromising. and no matter how nice they are it's exhausting to be around and youre just further alienated#while in the presence of people and uncofmrtoabel the whole time.#Which I'm not saying the only form of community is a group setting specificially but just giving that as an example lol#I just wish there were a better option than ''well learn to socialize normally or just suffer then'' . Which I know is not what people are#saying. I guess I just always feel a bit scared when 'community is the answer'. Since its not like 'oh im just socially anxious and need to#get out of my shell~!' or something thats really that remedy-able. It's like.. my mostly unchangeable physical health issues combined#with the mostly unchangable literal way that my brain processes sensory informationand other things means that interacting with#others in a normal and easy way is incredibly difficult and often exhausting especially to maintain in any longform fashion. So then#when it's like ''the answer to staying safe is to maintain longform social connections!! :3 just reach out!!'' then.. ermm... O_O#also I'm not even one of the cutesy shy emotional hermits that's nervous. I'm the Bad Stereotype emotionless robotic cold seeming#looms in the corner of the room type of thing so people have less pity on you in that way. -_- ANYWAY gghj#I need like.. a designated social representative or something.. When I did work in that bookshop forever ago they gave me a#person who basically was just with me to help communicate with others on my behalf and supervise me and stuff. I need that.. Some#more extraverted person I can latch onto and they can maintain the Social Support Network for me and I can just be their +1 to all#of the Social Things and community. I have helpful skills I can contribute to other people and stuff it's just like.. I cant socialize lol#I cook food or something for you.. then you keep me in contact with Community.. a deal. (but then what about when I'm too sick to#contribute? as is often the case. there's not much place for people like me in communities sometimes i fear.. sigh.) ***
