There are a lot of people who start creative projects with no business or financial plan, because "who cares, it isn't important, we'll figure that out later". And you can't let yourself become that person. Not because I'm a sneering finance bro who thinks your woke animated youtube series wont make money, but because if you don't you'll wind up financially exploiting your friends for years

[mollyjames]

Look, it's none of my business if you wanna work yourself to the bone for no money so you can make your dream project a reality. I think you shouldn't, but also let's be real that's basically a rite of passage for young creatives. But as soon as you start involving other people? You need a plan. You need to be able to compensate them for their time, and you need to have it in writing

[karthonic]

For freelancers: I recommend getting yourself a copy of the Graphic Artists' Guild Handbook: Pricing and Ethical Guidelines for reference-- the newest one dropped last year (I have the 16th edition). It helps you figure out your pricing, how to create a contract for various projects (and you can access free PDFs of templates you can use to modify for your own projects)! It's a good place to start and refer to-- even colleagues who are decades in the business (and former Guild Members too) still use it.

not to be a pervert but like, I normally find certain aspects of the body attractive that are pretty much not as highlighted like ass or boobs

to me, I love flabby tummies or saggy boobs, I like arm fat and cellulite, but also been finding myself attracted to hands. I guess from an artist perspective it makes sense but horny perspective I'm just into all the body.

[handpervert]

nonono, it does make sense to like hands

[rabbitkinglune777]

thabk you handpervert 💜

[handweavers]

people like the idea that there is an identity they can claim that will absolve them of the responsibility to examine their beliefs and actions and adjust them accordingly to better align with their values and desired outcomes but there isn't, we all have to practice humility and do the work regardless

[redstonedust]

i dont envy youtuber friendship fallouts like im imagining the times ive had to ditch a toxic ex-friend but with the additional baggage of a) having to maintain some professionalism as a public figure and b) there being hundreds of gay teenagers on the internet who headcanon us as found family and/or lovers. i think i would crash out.

Honestly I find it cute how Zira is a moon and Miss is the earth and before Zira met Aika she'd always hover around Miss because Miss was her only friend at the time! I think its really cute ^_^

Back in high school, i had a teacher who I'd hang out with all the time. She taught english though! I'd hang out with her in the mornings, during breaks, and even after school, she was sooooo fun! Im in college now and were friends, which is so AWESOME!! So Miss and Zira's dynamic really reminds me of the one we had!

I've got to look up every possible way to sew hidden, concealed and non-obvious pockets and other such storage caches in all of my clothing, and then have as many of those as I can fit in every item in my wardrobe. Trying to get as much hidden storage space on my person as possible. Carrying around a backpack's worth of shit without carrying a bag of any sort.

Getting bored while waiting for the bus and just casually pulling a goddamn sewing kit out of my sleeve to start doing needlework on my jeans, like hey hold on where the fuck did you just pull that shit from. Equipping shit from my secret inventory.

[bramblesmith]

Hammer space but it's a pocket specifically located on your left calf. Neat :D

We are ten minutes in and Mexico is already remembering the ancestral purpose of playing ball with someone else.

(I’m sorry South Africa I love your guys because I am also Black but LATAM WORLD CUP SWEEP)

AND THE GOAL MAKER IS A COLOMBIAN BORN BLACK GUY

[insertspanishhere]

I know my people! The few names I caught on the lineup (I was at a restaurant) were pretty Mexican and then they call out my man

JULÍAN QUIÑONES

He used to play club-level in Colombia for Cali (huge Black subculture in Cali) but was loaned out to Mexican club teams where he gained his success. He is now being shuffled at the Saudi club-level, and in 2023, decided not to play for the Colombian national team.

He became a Mexican citizen in October of 2023! So he is both Afro-Colombian and Afro-Mexican.

Pathos

Plural Catch-22: the path to happiness is lined with people who will call you fake for trying to walk it.

Fuck them. Walk it anyway.

Image ID in alt text and under the cut.

Image one: Red, drawn repeatedly in boxes where she experiences intense suffering: "Why am I more palatable to the Average Joe if I paint myself crying and (censored) and suffering and dying a thousand times over than if I draw my system smiling?"

Part of the system is drawn smiling: Red, Hawthorne, and Gwen.

Image two: "It's pathologization, of course." A drawing of Red as the Vitruvian Man, wings and tail and broken halo extended, head duplicated. Figure one: the broken must suffer to be broken in a way that matters. Figure two: if you're not suffering, then I can ignore you. Figure three: if you're weird and happy, then you're a lying, cheating bitch who deserves to be hung in the public square.

"If you're not normal, then you're suffering." "If you're not suffering, then you're normal. Get with the program and stop pretending you're strange."

Image three: Red, sitting curled up and turned away, broken halo and a devil's tail. "I hate it. I hate that most of the Western, colonized world sees my existence as inherently awful. I hate that my existence is still something to cure. I hate that a system broadcasting their trauma is treated as more real than one broadcasting their joy."

[creatingblackcharacters]

"how do you live in this world, aren't you tired of finding microaggressions" why yes, yes I am actually, thank you for acknowledging that it's a terrible fucking time always noticing how "normal" antiblackness is lmao.

I just wanted to point out how ironically genuine this part is, as much as this racist jackass didn't mean to be so. Way to get to the core of the problem. Like yeah! It does suck! You're right! Sure wish there was a way I didn't have to live like this!

[socialmaya]

Occasionally forget people genuinely think capitalism is thousands of years old

[sylestial]

One time I was talking about Robin Hood with some coworkers and one guy was like “he was bad because the people he helped learned to expect handouts” and I wanted to be like… okay can you explain how that flawed capitalist propaganda applies to feudalism

[scallioncreamcheesebagel]

reminder that capitalism was literally invented in the 16th century

[tayefeth]

That’s an exaggeration. What was invented in the 16th century was mercantilism. Capitalism really dates for the beginning of the nineteenth century, with the rise of industry and cash crops over artisans and merchants. Vulture capitalism, with the notion that companies have no duties other than generating profit, is even younger.

[antique-scarecrow]

Capitalism is only 200 years old and I have to say, they have not been an impressive 200 years

[downtroddendeity]

I think a lot of this comes from the fact that most people don’t know the formal definition of capitalism. We all know the word, we’ve all seen the jokes, but very few people bother to actually define it unless they’re talking about political theory and philosophy, so it’s easy to end up with the impression that Capitalism = Money Can Be Exchanged For Goods And Services.

Capitalism is the economic system where most of the means of production (i.e. everything people need to have to make the stuff that everyone wants) are owned by private individuals or corporations, who then hire people to provide the labor necessary to produce things, with the intent of selling the output at a profit. It’s the difference between “you’re a carpenter and you make a chair and you sell it” and “you’re Richard Q. Richington who owns a chair factory, and you pay people to sell the chairs you paid other people to make and then all the excess money goes back to you.” There have been Richard Q. Richingtons on and off throughout history, but that being the norm for every single industry is a pretty recent development.

@yaemicoco @nessi-the-cryptid

You wanna hear my thoughts? I'll give you my thoughts...

So Gameoverse is the worst thing Glitch has released. There, I said it.

This pilot was the most corny thing I've ever watched, and the voice acting of most of the characters got on my fucking nerves, but more than that... MORE THAN THAT...

This pilot. Has some of the most aggressive sexualization of female characters in ANY glitch show thus far.

First off.

I hate Kit's mom's design. I hate it so much oh my god. It drives me crazy. Her cleavage. Her tiny ass waist. Her fucking lip gloss. Her stupid HEART TAIL. This design was bred in a lab to piss me off.

And her husband is so cute in comparison! Generic, yes, but he doesn't look like a sexualized buffoon! But noooo, his wife neeeeeeeds her collar and her skin-tight minidress.

Second off-- and to all the anons that mentioned it, sorry for not answering most of you in advance but I'll do it right now: Kit and Miss Information were in bikinis for most of the episode.

They can't wear practical marine clothing underwear, no! It has to be da Sexy Bikinis!!! For MOST OF THE EPISODE!!

I just. I don't get it. Neither Kit or Miss really feel like people who would rather wear bikinis than something comfortable and utilitarian (in Kit's case especially). But yeah no we gotta see those Girl Thighs.

And lastly, but not least(ly), Kit has a transformation sequence that focuses on her boobs and hips.

And it happens twice in the episode by the way. ONE OF WHICH INSTEAD SHOWING ON HER NEAR-NAKED HIPS BECAUSE SHE'S STILL IN THE BIKINI.

Anyways. Other than all that bullshit. Here are some extra notes.

As mentioned before, the voice acting is really annoying to listen to. Kit and Miss are standouts tbf, but Gobbles' voice doesn't fit him at all, Paper Guy (I don't think his name is ever said btw lmao) and ESPECIALLY Flippers have some very grating voices, and Kaboodle... fucking Kaboodle...

This fucking robot needs to get pented into the sun. He is such an aggravating piece of shit to watch, bro has almost NO redeeming qualities other than being decent to Kit. And his voice is supposed to sound tinny because he's a robot, I get that, but it mostly just sounds like Schlatt's mic sucks. Also he's voiced by Schlatt so that's 500 extra points against him.

Kit doesn't really have that much of a personality compared to everyone else. And, sure, she might just be the Straight Man of the team, but like... goddamn, nothing? Her personality is just Traumatized Leader? Really?

The humor is cornyyyyyyyy. Paper Guy (seriously, the hell is this guy's name?) has some of the worst of it, he sounds like Sir Pentious but less charming. Kaboodle's whole thing with being an asshole to everyone falls flat immediately, too.

I also slightly question where the pilot will go from here, story wise. Are we following Flippers' character arc? Is that part of the cast gonna rotate? Will every other game world die, or will the gang actually succeed for once? Obviously, these questions don't need to be answered right this second, but being left this unsure of what the hell the series is gonna do is awkward, to say the least.

Anyways that's all I can really think of rn. This thing sucks
