#like no disrespect to the artist

[amygdalae]

i think what people tend to forget is that laughing at modern art also counts as having a dialogue with it. like as long as you're respectful of the museum space and whatnot. you are under no obligation to take any of it seriously. when i go to a modern art museum I do engage with every piece and read the blurb and think deeply/discuss its intention and its execution but it doesnt stop me from having a giggle at the ones i think are stupid. often the artist is equally aware that it may be stupid. sometimes that's the point also. it's fun!

I'm sure Good Omens is a decent show but i wish the Azicrow shippers could understand that running up to artists and telling them how their lesbian artwork reminds them of two men is very strange!

Too many artists who do commissions, in my experience, don't take their job seriously enough.

It's a meme how some artists take months to complete a comm and "haha im so grateful for having patient commissioners" but that's just poor work ethics on the artist's part.

When you offer commissions, you don't just offer art, you also have to communicate with your client properly, give them proper updates, ask them for feedback during process, discuss things that your ToS doesn't cover if needed, and so on.

Just for example, if you're taking longer than expected, let them know why (just vague "due to personal problems" is enough) and if needed, offer a refund or another alternative instead of making your commissioner reach out to you for updates themselves and possibly stressing them out.

Otherwise, you're treating your commissioner like a nuisance that you're forced to work with, not a client who offers you money in return for proper service.

I need to hear your circus shipping thoughts pwease (⁀ᗢ⁀)

If you’re asking how I feel about shipping in general — it’s fine and I honestly never mind it. As long as what’s being shipped and consequently drawn/written about/roleplayed/etc is two adults (especially if the shipping content is nsfw) then have fun! My only exception is shipping characters that canonically have sexualities that wouldn’t match up — that’s really disrespectful imo.

As for TADC, I don’t really ship anyone at this particular moment. I’m starting to think maybe that Gangle and Zooble would be really sweet together, but I haven’t gotten those pupils-dilating-gnawing-at-the-furniture-I’m-so-hellbent-and-intent-I-need-it brain wormies I usually get when I ship characters. And I know I predominantly blog/scream about Jax but I don’t ship him with anyone lmao. (I thought about answering this ask sarcastically and saying Jax x Kaufmo’s bowling ball looool).

"why won't people comment anymore why do you talk about fic privately with other fans and not with me the author! why do I even post things publicly then!"

three posts further down the dash, different person:

"people think x type of comment is innocuous but actually I hate it because it hurts my feelings and I don't know why people make comments like this in the first place"

GEE GUYS I WONDER IF THERE MIGHT BE SOME KIND OF PRESSURE TO MAKE PERFECT COMMENTS THAT IS ACTUALLY LEADING TO FEWER OVERALL COMMENTS

Claudia get behind me I'm killing everyone in this theatre and then myself

Minor pet peeve is when there's a piece of art (or even a meme) that evokes a negative feeling and ppl feel the need to make a "positive" edit/sequel/whatever like maybe negative feelings are okay sometimes. Maybe we can express feelings of despair and anger and loneliness and even self-destructiveness through art and we don't always need to turn it into an "everything will be okay tho :)" message just because those feelings aren't nice to have. Like maybe that's the point, dipshit. We all feel bad sometimes, we all get the ugly emotions, and art lets us feel it together and make meaning out of it. I get that the intentions are well-meaning, but it's irritating as fuck.

i hope this doesnt come off as rude but im genuinely curious if anyone agress: does anyone else just not like the new cover arts for aftg? Not in the sense that the originals were better but almost like disappointment by the fanart-y style? I feel like there was potential to portray a lot of cool symbolism or depth but instead it's just fanart of a few characters...

Honestly, the only song Käärijä should write in English, is a song about the pressures of singing in English to be 'more accessible'.

But write it in Finnish, put it through Google Translate and use that with no adjustments.

You know what. You're right. Forget about all that this is about Alfonse's thighs now.

And some Lif thighs for good measure

This was a style experiment, I don't usually color/shade like this, or have the colored line art in places but it was really fun to do.

when you make a point and then someone goes "yeah! I agree that *a completely different misinterpretation of your point that they missed entirely*" like. dude. that wasn't at all what I said where did you even get that
