Pole Position

Pairing: logan sargeant x stripper!reader

summary: after a(nother) bad race, logan does as anyone in Vegas does — drinks himself into a couple of bottles, meets the newest stripper in the club, and marries her? …wait what??

a/n: @sinofwriting is an enabler and shouldn’t be talked to at 3am…

a/n2: I support sex work of all kind — if you disagree, don’t come crying to me

a/n3: still working on story of us: chapter 3 but it just keeps getting longer and longer — people keep trying to flirt with y/n. It was just supposed to be a short bridge chapter 😭 but I work better under stress so I WILL have it out by Wednesday

a/n4: no particular year for this piece btw but mostly 2024

Best of the Year

Wrote a list for The Comics Journal's year-end wrap-up, and it's a big bowl of Oops! All Fellas! naming of obvious stuff other people included on their lists, with only one deep cut. Obviously lots of minis and stuff I enjoyed, and I might as well name that stuff now, for the Tumblr faithful who would've missed my casual documentation on Bluesky: Void Packer 2 by Lale Westvind, Pebbles 3 by Molly Colleen O'Connell, WWREC 2 by Angela Fanche and Max Burlingame, Desert Rats 1 and 2 by Nick Bunch, Allee Errico's work (not just the Froggie World collection from Cram, but also her mini Sardine and strips for The Comics Journal and Smoke Signal), Looking For The Cat 2-4 by Matthew Thurber, Zoo 4 by Anand, The Devil's Grin 5 and 6 by Alex Graham (getting collected by Fantagraphics next year), God's Sod House by Cedar Von Tassell, Crepusculine 1 by Conor Stechschulte, Tales of Qyleoth/Full Moon Funnies by Marvin Yaxam, Welcome To The Butterfly Effect by Jade Mar, Oboy Comix 7 by Shaheen Beardsley. The next few books that didn't quite make my list were Lilly Wave by Brian Blomerth and The Scrapbook Of Life And Death by J. Webster Sharp. A best-of list that's too long becomes unfocused and unhelpful, as you will surely experience making your way through all thr TCJ contributor lists, so that is why my list there is relatively concise. Check it out!

And as ever, if you made a comic I didn't read but that you think I would like, get in touch!

Happy Holidays to all who celebrate, and pleasant times to you throughout this season if you don't.

How do you do sex work and what advice do you have for a trans person getting into it?

I post on bluesky and twitter, bluesky is WAY better for getting actual engagement. twitter is 99% bots and 1% other dom(me)s if you're doing sex work so I can't recommend it I just crosspost my bsky over to twt and get zero interaction as expected. you can also post on Reddit however for complicated reasons I don't have a photo id right now so I can't do that.

personally I'm ftm (medical transition wise) so I just play up the whole girl/femboy part of being bigender* and always shave before taking pictures. my voice is androgynous but good enough, I rec if you have a deep voice to do voice training because you'll get paid way more if you can record videos/do voice chats. I'm working on voice training but I am a master at putting it off

maybe this is because I do findom aswell as sell content but never talk to a client for more than like 3 messages max without being sent money. I have a tribute listed in my bio for my minimum to talk. lots and lots of scammers esp. with findom don't bother with people who have like "paypig" in their name or anyone that says they're sending to new dommes. anyone that needs you to pay a fee for $ is scamming you

I know you likely need money bad as do I but do NOT post about how like, everyone in your dms are just scammers or how desperate you are. it ruins the illusion and makes people more likely to take advantage of u. don't ruin your mental health for clients either. it's the easiest way to burn yourself out and feel like complete shit. I promise you that $20 is not worth feeling raped. figure out what makes you uncomfortable and tell clients you will not do it. be firm. you have to realize ur dealing with the most bottom of the barrel cishet men, you just have to be an asshole a lot of the time to get your point across. don't be afraid to ask for your initial every DM you get. if someone can't pay a little upfront fee they are highly unlikely to be open to paying you at all.

ppal SUCKS for sex work. like do not list it publicly if you use it at all or they'll freeze your account with the money in it. throne is good and lets you receive cash you can withdrawal (fyi they need a photo id for this but u can also use it to purchase from their vendors thru the app incl. amazon and ebay). I also list my cashapp and my monero wallet (privacy focused crypto)

hope this helps nonnie stay safe out there. fyi it takes a while to get ur first client so don't lose hope

*my gender is actually just "has DID" but I say femme bigender when I really am pressed to put something

The realization that my all is never enough.

Idk, i drew an entire vent peice about how i keep seeing my favorite artists im inspired by, talk about people "finding meaning in their art" or "making fanart" or "talking about how much peopel are inspired by or love their work"

And idk, i may just be a selfish, egotistical cuntwad, but i get so depressed and envious and mad, every fucking time.

I was warned by the internet "dont compare yourself to others! The numbers dont matter. Do art for yourself and then people will follow." Ect, ect. But what they failed to consider, is that there was a 3rd , secret posion called "productivity". The ability to DO, in and of itself.

Ive recently come to the devesating realization that all my hard work, my artworks, my experiments and love- is all for naught on every platform i go to. I've listened to the "number dont matter" but why the fuck is it so hard to get ATLEAST more than 10 notes? On all of my 3 platforms?

So far, the only people keeping me a float, continuing to strive and continuing to post, is my mutual(s) who have actively supported me.i love em', and i hope to god im not undermining their support.

But somedays when i see people go "oh, i love the feeling of when people notice details in my work!" "Oh i love the fanart!" "I love the keysmashing or the emojji smash or" bla bla bla.

So far, my art, on every platform goes one way. Tumblr: 90% posts are under 10 notes or at a bare max, 20. No comments or tags. You get one post per few months that does super well, and people reblog, comment, tag and like.

Insta: 90% of posts are under 10 notes (total), with the maximum being UNDER 20. No comments (excluding freinds or mutuals who comment). One reel, or post does exceptionally good, rarely happens.

Bluesky: just started it, so not much info, but its similar to everything else stated above.

Deviantart: more or less the same.

Its normal right? Im not going insane right? Or am i addicted to the dopamine rush? Am i a lunatic for wanting people to speak and say something? Am i too socially akward? Am i not doing enough? Am i not trying hard enough? Am i just lazy? Is it because i try too many new thinga? Do i take to long? Is it because im not intresting? Do people just not like my art? Am i not good enough?

Why cant i get someone to say something? Do i have to go viral every fucking posts? Do followers not mean anything? Do people not care? What do i have to do? What do i have to do to make people like me??

I dont want to sacarfice my artistic vision, i dont want to sacarfice my integrity just to pump out the same, quick slops of art just to get interaction. I want to be proud of my work. I want to love my work and what i do. I want to put my blood, my soul, my emotions, my sweat and tears and joy and everything into what i do.

I want someone to fucking notice.

Tumblr is killing me, instagram is killing me, bluesky is killing me. Nothing is working.

Im tired of scrolling through my artblog and seeing nothing but 0 notes. Im tired of thinking nothing matters. Im tired of being fatigued, of not being able to finish work fast enough, of feeling like im never enough.

I dont WANT to attach this blog to my art blog because i THOUGHT that if i didn't attach it, i could grow a following of my own. I didnt have to associate myself with a messy, emotional, reblog heavy, blog like this. But i guess thats what i have to do to get a comment. To get a little a fucking reblog. Or a tag.

I gotta have a mental breakdown and go "please please please say SOMETHING"

IM AN ARTIST NOT A FUCKING PRODUCT. IM NOT MADE TO BE CONSUMED IM HERE TO MAKE SOMETHING WORTH TALKING ABOUT.

Im done. I leaving the internet for as long as i need again.

I want to love my fellow artists and be happy for them again. Im tired of this bullshit.

Finished the Veilguard! Early thoughts

(This post contains major spoilers.)

tl;dr - I LOVED IT SO MUCH

This isn’t a review or a master post or anything of the sort, just my first initial … feelings dump I guess, after finishing the game? (And no, I won’t be “disclaimer-ing” all my posts with ‘I know it wasn’t perfect but-’ every time because there’s no such thing as a perfect game.)

Short background: been a Dragon Age fan since playing DAO/DA2 in 2011, been obsessed ever since. My favourite of the first 3 was Inquisition, but I love them all dearly. The wait for Veilguard has been lonnnggggg and - chequered, to put it mildly - and as I said before, I mostly left the fandom a few years after DAI came out because it was just such a miserable place to be most of the time. I still have DA friends I followed then and still do, though many moved on, as people do.

(I went to an OFMD convention a week ago and was surrounded by people who love the show like I do and it was just SO refreshing to be in a fandom that actually LIKES the thing they’re a fan of and celebrates it?? Wow, what’s that like??)

But, anyway. I’m not here to talk about the fandom, I’m here to talk about the game, I just wanted to sort of underline that I - like so many others - have been waiting a very long time for this game, and as such have had ten years to build up hopes and expectations and wishes and everything else. As much as you try not to, you can’t help it on some level. So I was *very* nervous that a new game would come out and I just - wouldn’t like it. So much time has passed. Many of the old DA team worked on DAV but a lot had left. And then I found out about the fact you could only import 3 choices and only from Inquisition, and all in all I was NERVOUS for this game okay??

So I am very happy and relieved to report that I absolutely fucking LOVED it. I am in love with it. Obsessed. Over the fucking moon. I know it’s the honeymoon period but I just fucking lovveeeeedddd it you guyyyyyyys. When I finished it I felt so hugely emotional but not in a bad way, just very - full. I said on Bluesky my heart was full and that is true.

I had Hopes for this game and - often to my own great surprise - it met them all and exceeded many of them. Some of them were totally, like, Me things specifically, but that was why I wasn’t really expecting them??

I just love everything! Yeah, all the stuff people are bitching about everywhere! I love the story and the choices and the lore (some of those WBK moments were so sweeeeeet), the music is beautiful, the environments are GORGEOUS and so fun to explore (some of them almost brought me to tears, they were so beautiful), I loved the gameplay, I even love the “controversial” art style, I think it will age well and it allowed the companions/characters to be more expressive. The voice performances were absolutely stellar.

I’m so in love with ALL the companions. I think they’re such a strong group and I enjoyed each and every one of them so much, which is fairly rare for me haha. I was absolutely heartbroken by the loss during the final sequence; I thought that like ME2, if you had everyone as a Hero of the Veilguard, all the factions maxed out and made the right choices you could save everyone, but of course you couldn’t and it hurt so much.

I was so overwhelmed the first time (plus the mood whiplash of going from ‘my beloved friends are dead’ to ‘IN A COFFIN??’ 20 minutes later, bioware you mad bastards i love you hahaha) I didn’t cry much but the next day it hit me and then I did, and have been on and off ever since if I think about it too hard. I lost sweet Harding. :( I loved her story so much, she was so excited for the future, and her Hero armour made me cry, so when that happened… ooooooffff. Ouch. I can’t even say ‘eh I’ll just change it’ because I also love Davrin? And to lose Assan as well??

…I did say this wasn’t a review/in-depth post didn’t I, oops. I can’t help myself XD The short version: I played a Shadow Dragon mage (excellent choice given my Dorian-obsessing ways), saved Minrathous, romanced Emmrich, appointed Archon Pavus (! jeez I have Feelings about that), redeemed Solas. (Kinda won at Veilguarding tbh??)

I do wanna post more about it - I have a google doc draft started with like fuckin. 20 different categories or whatever, that I want to add to over time - and I will. I also want to play again IMMEDIATELY! And I also will, because even in my 112-hour ultra-completionist playthrough I somehow missed a bunch of stuff apparently?? But that’s first playthroughs for you. I just need to decide whether I start a new/different Rook and make different choices or if I replay my first again because I just ADORED her and had such a blast playing her. I just kind of want to do it again XD (I can do both eventually of course, but which FIRST??)

I also have to note that my like, biggest DA Thing I Obsess Over before this game was the relationship between my Inquisitor and Dorian, and I knew that a) he was the least popular DAI romance and b) this was Rook’s story, but I still hoped for Something… so when I got the letter I a) cried and b) assumed that would be it, and I was happy for the crumbs. So when I saw them together during the final battle, and even talking, I fucking lost it. I waited ten years for that moment, and I *got* it. I truly didn’t think I would. And they both lived!! There were a few other very sweet full-circle moments that just - settled really nicely in my heart. And I have a new Forever Fave to obsess over, yet another necromancer of course haha. His romance being so sweet and loving was just a comfort that I didn’t really know I needed. And I am not a Solas Girlie (though I love his character) but I cried SO hard during his beautiful ending. It felt perfect, and perfectly done, to me.

So yeah, I loved it. A lot. It felt sort of - healing, I dunno. Not to get too esoteric about it, at least not until I’ve had more time to think about it… I’m looking forward to digging into future playthroughs and discovering more stuff, and it’s just such an exciting, fun feeling to be loving the game this much, because even up until the ending I was like, ‘I’ve loved it so far but what if I fucking hate the ending and I never want to play it again?’. But I didn’t. I thought it was a towering achievement and it might be my favourite now?? (Uhhh I need more time to know that for sure, I think.)

[Happy hiss!]
