Me: "hey game developers, especially AAA ones, are getting laid off en-mass and it's awful for our industry" Gamer: "well I only play INDIE games and the problem with AAA games is they are creatively bankrupt"

Me, slamming my fists on the table like a baby: "WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT THIS IS ABOUT A BUSINESS PROBLEM PERPETUATED BY CAPITALISM NOT A STATEMENT ON CREATIVE DECISION MAKING"

#look I think AAA should make weirder games also but I wish we stopped treating that like some kind of solution and not just a fun idea #the problem is capitalism. its always capitalim #its not like AAA studios would have less problems if they made weird indie games lol #also hey spoiler alert: indie studios need to organize their labour too #in fact I think the organizing movement would be stronger if more indies adopted it first #anyway im busy so imma mute some posts now #thoughts #blog

I hope you take this as the compliment it is intended to be, but you strike the same chord of irreverence-as-love, jokes-to-showcase-sencerity that I get from Chuck Tingle, and I adore both of you.

You have bestowed the greatest honour upon me.

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #lan wangij #wei wuxian #digital art #ask #Thank you very much; I do take it as the compliment you intended it to be B*)#Mr. Tingle is a legend in both grindset and vibes. To be even 0.1% striking a similar chord is an aspiration of mine.#I also want to honour the effort I put into this parody book cover. Which was a *lot* more than one would think.#Covers were analyzed. I did research and took notes. I learned how to download fonts. 4 different programs were used.#This file is also poster sized (A4 dimensions)! I thought It would make the joke funnier for some reason.#Chuck Tingle's style is very iconic and fun to replicate. Despite the time intensive labour - I had a blast making this!#I admit to skimming most of the chapter this is based off of just to fact check a few details but boy did I learn things.#Wei Wuxian canonically has CAKE. Tiny waist and a fat ass.#I took several more notes but I will warn you now that I can't *not* find smut writing to be very funny.#This was pure chaos. Unbridled chaos. WWX really did shove a sword up his ass to bully dream-LWJ.#The need to be a little shit trumps saftey I guess.#There is a 99.9% chance I will not cover the extras so this is likely all the fans of those chapters will get from PD-MDZS.

Saw a post about working class butches in physical labour jobs and wanted to make my own, so: I love you butches who do childcare or early education. I love you butch nurses. I love you butch house cleaners and janitorial staff. I love you service industry butches. I love you butches who do sex work. I love you working class butches who do “feminine” jobs you are cool as hell

#butch #lgbtqia #lesbian #its me im butches doing stereotypically feminine work #when I was nannying full time I kind of thought of it as I was doing Nanny Gender #like especially bc I wore mostly dresses then for practicality reasons #which gave me The Dysphorias but yeah. my way of navigating that was to get a little fluid with it.#also even tho they don’t get perceived as such: all of these jobs are as physically demanding as many ‘physical’ jobs #like girly at least when I worked in a warehouse/delivery bay I got to sit down #look I could probably think of a better term than ‘physical labour’ but like. you know what I mean.#anyway. sometimes you have those I am uncomfortable when we are not about me moments #and then you remember that you can just go talk about your experience

i really love what oda did with robin because while she has some sort of mother-like presence in the crew, she doesn’t do any (literal) mothering. she has zero mental load, zero responsibilities and is completely free to do whatever she wants whenever she wants. the caretaking and maintenance is handled by the men, while the two women of the crew are scholars. she never nags or worries but genuinely smiles and laughs at luffy’s antics when everyone else is freaking out

and even though robin’s work is necessary to find the one piece nobody ever asks her to do it. she mostly does it alone, and the majority of her time in the crew is spent relaxing and being whimsical. other captains would imprison her and force her to translate the poneglyphs, but she has to remind luffy they’re even a thing

yet it’s not indifference. the strawhats know full-well she’s one of the most pursued people alive, and how valuable her abilities are. but they don’t love her because she’s useful, and her coming to terms with the fact that she is unconditionally cherished by her crew makes for one of the most incredible character arcs in the story

their commitment to let her do her thing in peace, in her own terms, to fight tooth and nail against some of the most powerful people in the world just so she can keep doing it… it’s just so beautiful to me

TW S&M CONCEPTS

An underrated and under appreciated thing that I notice a lot in domming is the acknowledgement when a hit was satisfying for you as the dom. I love to spank my subs and to hear, and feel the impact and just know there’s going to be such a pretty red handprint on their thigh or ass or what have you. Or to feel my whip or boot connect and already see the starting on a bruise not too long after. It fills me with this feeling of power and control. And what am I supposed to do? Not tell my sub exactly how good it felt to do? How it felt to give them the hit they deserve? I’m sure they’d love to hear exactly how hard it got me to leave a pretty mark on them like that.

#high as fuck on Labour Day #thinking about hitting people #y’know as everyone does #s&m #s/m #sadistic #bd/sm sadist #bd/sm daddy #bd/sm kink #t4t ns/fw #ftm t4t #t4t nsft #ftm nsft #t4t #ftm daddy #ftm dom #t4t puppy #ftm ns/fw

TBH in the original Hellblazer it's not that all of John's friends died, lot of them did, for various reasons, (plus there's the Newcastle incident and all that personal trauma), but lot of the time the old friends John reconnects with have either abandoned their anarchist/leftist principles or revealed they never had any particularly solid politics and John is like 'wow this sucks we're all going to die' and then wanders around for a bit depressed until satan tries to kill him again

Most of new 52/DC stuff with John just refuses to interact with the political elements this way. so it is what it is and can't even really answer the question why john is depressed

#i forget which issue it is but i think about the delano story a lot where he has nostalgia for something unreal and then just starts #dissociating #john constantine #hellblazer #like there's the overlapping personal trauma and the then current political landscape #(which changes over time from thatcher/major etc to new labour etc. not that even the earliest comics are uncritical of labour as well ofc)#and lot of the comic is john desperately trying to find reasons to live and political movements to attach himself even #(most notably i g in fear machine)#timeline wise john was in a mental hospital (or in and out) when thatcher came to power etc

forgot to specify on firearm possession when he posted that job ad

#dimension 20 #fantasy high #riz gukgak #fabian seacaster #this is the space sweepers AU thing I posted that one sketch for lol #I think trying to preserve riz's canon deal with guns in any AU is a noble&worthy cause #and I worried it wouldnt work in this one specifically. I shouldnt bc it doesnt matter but I do anyway bc of who I am #but also I shouldnt bc it works out fine lol. I think the juxtaposition/gap moe comes through #for context theyre in the far future of the year 2092 about #and the majority of the crew are deeply involved with contemporary tech. half of them got body mods. one of them's a robot #riz is the navigator (fabian's the first captain and the one assembling the crew). he does everything on paper with a pencil #he has a school calculator from our current time. the crew's had to wrestle a comm link onto him #his translator link has been mutilated to stop all wireless transmission. he is also under 5 feet in height and looks Like That #I think its great that he honestly coheres very well despite all appearances. in every life possible it must be wild that he owns a gun #and also the idea of fabian slowly waking up to the realization that he's somewhat responsible for a buncha babies is awesome to me #good luck buddy. hold out for two more years and labour court will no longer be on ur ass

making my peace with how lyra was characterised in the show vs the books because so much of it relies on her age and even dafne keen being only one year older than lyra when filming set her up to portray a different character from the very beginning. it doesn't seem like a huge difference but lyra being a child and not a teenager is of fundamental importance to her path in the books so it's inevitable that she was written more like a teenager in the show (and you can't stop child actors from ageing, you can only adapt the writing and directing to match how they mature). the show wrote lyra's arc in accordance with her maturing to the age of around 16, so they chose to have her grow out of her habit of lying and instead wield the power of truth to further her on her journey. it was a different journey from the books, but it got her to the same place: saving her friend and countless others with the power of storytelling and a silvertongue

#his dark materials #hdm #lyra belacqua #lyra silvertongue #alice’s rambles #dafne keen #my main issue was that the show still tried to maintain her immaturity but it ended up being inconsistent with how she actually acted #maybe it would have been more effective if they just wrote her realistically without worrying about including little book details #genuinely think you cannot adapt a character like lyra unless you have a 12 year old do all three books in one go #and unfortunately there are child labour laws #for legal reasons that was a joke

it's a little funny, because the endpoint of femininity is being the perfect partner to a man. that's literally what femininity is for. that's why it exists. the beauty industry's entire focus is catering to male desire. you aren't taught from day one to be demure just for the sake. it's because you're supposed to be the wife of some man. yet on this site, we can criticize and be sceptical about heels and plastic surgery, but not the end-goal of that career: romantic partnerships with men.

#nuance in the tags #i personally think that this depends on the power dynamics present in such relationships when it comes to things like labour or finances #however #given the socioeconomic position of most men compared to most women - while i don't think it's impossible to have a balanced and healthy #heterosexual partnership #i still maintain that it's unlikely #imma get crucified for this one regardless lol #separatism #radblr #radfem #radical feminism #feminism

jean moreau is the only man i will ever allow to experience female rage

#i think he deserves to scream labour by paris paloma at the top of his lungs #“to be a woman is to preform” — jean-yves moreau at some point #this isn't even me transfemming him i just think he's female victorian era character coded and i honestly love him for it #aftg #all for the game #aftg trilogy #tsc #jean moreau #the sunshine court #jean yves moreau

based off this video. i think teto is a union man

#art #traditional art #watercolour #fanart #vocal synth #kasane teto #synthv #utau #utauloid #koharu rikka #synthesizer v #voicepeak #my vocal synth tagging systems are getting messier and messier by the second #anyway i dont know why i picture her caring a lot about labour rights and regulations. its probably because 1)#shes just been around so long and has been actively updated this whole time #(not just the sv bank release but also her utau banks as well) so she probably has lots of experience #and 2) twindrill somehow managed to snag a commercial voicebank contract that lets them keep up the utau banks too #which i do appreciate. i like hearing voices on all kinds of software but it sucks that a lot of utau that move commercial take down their #old voicebanks. probably licensing stuff in like vocaloid and such's agreements #although the two utau who have sv banks (teto and renri) were both able to keep up their old stuff so maybe sv has looser contracts?#sv is made by the moresampler guy after all. maybe theyre a little more open about it #anyway i think thats why i picture her being really savvy with this stuff LOL i think shes great at chilchucking it you know #advocating for her fellow synths and negotiating contracts the whole nine yards #i think she will unionize your vocal synths. i think she will unionize them.

Locations, a tour around Garreg Mach Monastery, was a little digital fanbook I made in 2021 with the help of some lovely writers who are credited in the first image. It originally started as me doodling characters requested by my followers and somehow ended up as a full fanbook haha.

EDIT: Updated shop link 2025

#danika doodles #fe3h #(I paid all the writers upfront btw and it's only for sale to pay for my own labour)#This is a strange project for me think about bc half way through making it I had a stroke #So it doesn't have many fun memories attached to it #but I'm still proud of how it turned out :)

Good news! You aren't required to make your hobbies and passions "marketable." In fact, your crafts, hobbies, and passions don't even need to be public if you so choose. You don't have to spend all of your energy becoming perfect if you aren't enjoying the process. You are not a product, you are a person, a creative, and your work also does not need to be a product.

#positivity #yet another post that's like... thinnly-veiled as being for myself #i find myself freezing with anxiety when i think about the things i used to do (writing especially) because...#...i had felt this force to make it ~content~ and ~marketable to an audience~ and it was so fucking daunting...#...it felt like being a gladiator in a coliseum #even now i fight the urge to equate being marketable to being acceptable and worthy of admiration and praise #i wish i hadn't burnt myself out of writing by doing this because i'm simultaneously grieving my writing and hating it #and it sucks the life out of what makes you feel like a person and it takes the art out of art #so be free! pist your art or don't! you are beholden to nobody!!!#(obviously this is not the case for professional artists who rely on their art to keep them alive)#(and i criticize heavily the idea that audiences are entitled to an artists labour)#(i understand that this isn't universal and if it doesn't apply to you then you don't have to take me seriously)#(if you are a professional artist or what have you i hope you are able to feed and house yourself off of that career!)#(i hope you are able to live a happy life and be able to keep loving what you're doing)

This BEAST of a poster is finally finished and I can finally rest

I'll reblog this later to talk about the process and some thoughts because I am not about to let an opportunity to talk about poster design pass me by (edit: reblog ramble made)

Meanwhile though:-] You can have some close ups and such under the cut:
