A Discussion about Tariffs and Model Trains

Wayfinder February - week 1 recap

The first week of Wayfinder February is over and I wanted to send some love to the creators and to make sure nobody who loves the Hooked Wayfinder ship misses out on these wonderful stories and arts. We've still got a few exciting weeks ahead of us with more fics and arts headed our ways! So keep checking this tag on the hookedwayfinder blog for more fanworks.

Fandom is community - something which we could philosophize about, but which I don't think everyone fully understands in the same way. To me, a fanart or fanfic is basically just a person playing with dolls and showing their dolls to the world, often hoping others will say: "I see this and I love this! I wish I had come up with this idea!" Or in some cases "Ew, so much horror! ...Is there more?" or "Hot stuff! Hot stuff! Why is it so hot in here?" We're playing and having fun, and there's joy in the creation, but certainly also in the reception among the other fans. That's why I want to encourage you to leave comments if you have not done so yet - to both the arts and the fics you read - our creators deserve it and it is the best way to secure we will get MORE Hooked Wayfinder creations after the event is over too. Give these creators their daily dopamine shots, they deserve it! Spread a little positivity in the world, it's 100% free and not a waste of your time to make another person smile!

And now, for a quick recap (with links!) of this week's works.

Day 1: Wonderful mershark!Maui art by zabchan, including a free little ficlet by me - definitely worth checking out all the beautiful details in this.

Day 2: Athena stepped out of her comfort zone and wrote an English story for us - a spy!Moana AU where she's a demigod doing some spying in modern-day Paris and then runs into Maui 2000 years along the line. Supercute! Go read.

Day 3: We had no idea what Mars's art account was until she posted this and we were BLOWN AWAY - (and I think I saw her old art for The Queen's Gambit years ago but never linked it to be our Mars) - she drew us a supercozy drawing of Moana just chilling with her bestie Maui the sharkhead.

Day 4: It was my turn! Finding Ohana is set in modern day Hawaii and inspired by Lilo and Stitch. Simea, dealing with the loss of her parents, is quite a handful in this first chapter but luckily Maui (and his shaved ice cream) comes to Moana's rescue!

Day 5: Zabchan treated us again to one of her superdetailed drawings - and you gotta love Maui's expression in this one - and the idea is supercute too!

Day 6: My turn again! Chapter 2 took the story to the beach, where Maui showed off his surfing skills and Moana fell a little deeper in love with the guy. (And we met up with Matangi too!)

Day 7: Moonbeam worked on her "Flower Sickness" fic for weeks - it's angsty, it's smutty, it's got a little bit of body horror but it's honestly so freaking good - and unlike me she's not afraid to drop 16K words in a day!

I LOVE your art style. It would be a favorite gallery of mine in an art museum for sure like I could just stare at each work forever thank you for sharing it!

thanks my dad always says im stupid for making this stuff on small scale computer shit cuz the work is WASTED cuz nobody would be looking at all of it, the intensity with the insult is played up but if i COULD i would just paint it or something cuz i think some of the pics would work well in huge form like the groudon or the starthunder perfect comet or any of the superdetail ones lalala cuz theyre usually also power type pictures, depictions of powerful stuff so if its physically large thatd add extra, my girlefriend and everyone that loves me also says they want gallery for me but then at the same tyme i get rejected from stupid art uni BLABLABLA

What to comment on a fic when you don't know what to comment

Tips from a reader-writer who more than understands both sides of it

Point out your favorite parts "The confession scene was so cute" "I loved the fight scene" "The ending was amazing" (coming up with non-specific examples is hard LOL, but you get the point, right?)

Point out your emotions/what you're doing "OMG I'm crying" "Can't stop laughing HELP" "I'm laughing so hard and it's the middle of the night" "SCREAMING" "I should be sleeping but I'm screaming over this fic instead" "Screaming crying throwing up"

Literally anything As a writer, sure, it's nice to get long, superdetailed comments praising my characterization or foreshadowing or every single one of their favorite scenes, but it's just as nice to get the short ones. "This is awesome" "I love this" *a string of emojis* "Adorable!" "This is so sweet" "SO SOFT" "Thank you for sharing/writing/posting this story"

I think most writers will agree with me that a big part of why we love getting comments so much, is simply "Wow, you liked this story so much that you took a moment after finishing it to tell me that in words??" so even if you feel like you don't have much to say, it still feels like a lot to us.

The new skins were announced like two hours ago and there is already A LOT OF awesome superdetailed fan art of them!

( ...it takes me about three months to finish one art...)

People are amazing.

The funny thing is, I’ve been asked a lot why I have such wildly different styles for the different comics I draw. And honestly, a big part of it is that I LIKE drawing in both styles at times. And realistically, humor plays better with the broader expressions and simpler, more cartoony style as far as I’m concerned.  And considering how many “Finding Dee” strips are me sitting on the toilet, nobody needs to see it THAT detailed or realistic.

on 6th may Kentarou Miura, creator of Berserk, a brutal dark fantasy manga generally considered one of the best mangas of all time, has passed away. He was only 54 and suffering from health issues caused by exhausting work schedule of a manga artist which were causes of many delays in his work. His death was kept a secret unti earlier this week.

In last 24 hours people associated with ComicGate hate grou have started posting videos and tweets in which they use Miura’s death to talk how the work culture of manga industry is good actually. Talk about how American comics should adopt it and how younger comics creators, minority creators or creators with any artstyle that isn’t hyperrealistic and superdetailed are “entitled” and “don’t want to put in the work”, how they “only got hired for checking checkboxes” and should “put more time into working and less into tweeting”. I really hope by now I should not explain how disgusting I find the attempt at dismissing someone’s hard work by assuming them being a minority automatically makes them a “diversity hire” who wasn’t hired for their merit. Or how scummy it is to tell creators to shut up and get back to work when they dare to speak against your toxic behavior on twitter. Now let’s talk about the supposedly “good” work culture of manga.

Let’s start with the the fact this “good work culture” of manga literally killed one of their greatest creators at the age of 54. Let’s talk how this “good work culture” would make it that whenever Miura took a break he was not able to let public know how he is spending his time off without being mocked for playing video games instead of working by his own fandom. Let’s talk how in this “good work culture” Tetsuo Hara, of Fist of the North Star fame, is still forced to work his ass off despite being sixty years old and diagnosed with keratoconus that is likely going to take his eyesight away. Let’s talk how in this “good work culture”Yoshiki Yakaya still has to work on Guyver despite also being sixty and his health issues being so frequent his fans are basically expecting announcment of his death at any time. Let’s talk how this “good work culture” forced Masashi Kishimoto to put his honeymoon on hold for ten are-you-fucking-kidding-me years because he was not allowed to stop making Naruto for even a week, less alone a month. Let’s talk how this “good work culture” forced Akira Toriyama to keep working of Dragonball, disregarding his desire to end the series multiple times and forcing him to bring back Goku when he wanted to pass the title of the protagonist to Gohan until Toriyama came to hate his own creation. Let’s talk how this “good work culture” turned Bleach into a story of creator breakodown happenning in front of the entire readership base as the editorial squeezed every last bit of passion and creativity out of Tite Kubo until there was nothing left and still forced him to work until they decided he is done. Let’s talk about how this “good work culture” seems to trainfandom to follow only the brand and not the creator, meaning that an accomplished creator has as slim chances on hacing a new project be succesful as their most popular one, if not lesser chances as it is likely their new work will be rejected simply for not being their old work. And how it likely kept many creators endlesslydragging out their most succesful work or trying to tie to it as for every Yoshiki Takaya, whose succes of Hunter x Hunter overshadowe his first big success Yu Yu Hakusho, there are dozen stories of failiure even from big names like Kishimoto and Toriyama.

And don’t give me some pathetic talk about passion. We live in capitalism, your passion is a thing someone is going to exploit. Tell you if you “really” are passionate you should squeeze some free labor. manipulate you to make as much money out of you, your physical and mental health be damned. We see the same thing and the same rhetorics perpetuated in video game industry and how it leads to crunch, burnouts, mental breakdowns. And how then the studio executives write off those they broken as “stress casualties” and fire everyone anyway.

Creators are people. Actual living, breathing human beings. If you are spewing shit how comics hsould adopt the toxic work culture of manga, how that toxic work culture killing a man is a good thing....you’re just saying you don’t see creators as people. Just mindless drones made to work themselves to death for your entertainment. And you calling anyone else “entitled” is a height of irony unheard of before.

If it needs repeating, there is not a established timetable for figuring out yourself. And you're not required to put a superdetailed tag on yourself and stick to that forever. Try them out, see what works better at the moment

I know. Thank you, though. It’s nice to have it repeated 😊 I’m just the kind of person that likes having labels. I’m like a cat. I enjoy fitting into my snug, little boxes 😅

It’s just a little... I dunno. Scary? Trying to figure it out? It’s not bad... just... - little alarming, I guess.

As it happens, I don’t do prototypical operating on my itty bitty model railroad and don’t represent the legally mandated air brake testing referenced in previous post.

My ‘operating’ at home is pretty much just bumping cars around between various sidings and spurs.

Not exactly going to be running bullet trains on a layout that's 28 inches wide and 7 feet long!

That’s 71cm wide and 213cm long, for those in the metric world.

Now, down at model railroad club I will work to a switch list.

But at home, it is just have fun relaxing while bumping cars around.

(and that’s one of the 2 things I really dislike about those “modern High Tech 21st century flexible engineering plastic” handrails, paint chips off so much faster that it did/does on the 20th century overscale but durable and sturdy metal handrails)

People and details on GP38 below are being added by me every now and then over the last several years as my body and health are good for it.

So far have bell (out of image), snow plow, m.u. hoses, cab side sunshade. Still to get fuel tank filler and gauge details; better air horns; m.u. plugs; and a couple other things I don’t remember right now. Oh, radio antennas, is one of those things. Brake cylinder pipes are another.

And I think I did pretty well some years ago painting those guys who are only 13/16 inch, 20mm, tall. 🙂

Used to be able to do that, and work with little superdetail parts, all day any day. 🙂

Not any more. 😦

EDIT: Here's the other side of the real 4814 before it got painted in Chessie System colors, http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=847856
