@hermitdreams
should probably put this near the top just to remind others and myself of what "Hermit Dreams" is supposed to be, heh
wow i haven't updated my bio in a while, still says "almost" 10 years of this avatar.
it has been 10 years as of October
does anybody want me in like a stray dog kinda way
it says a lot that people arguing against copyright abolition always go, "but what about the small independent artists?" rather than talking about the actual employed workers that are actually making the shit megacorps like disney put out. "without copyright, big corporations would just take the work of artists and play it off as their own" - oh, you mean, literally how any wage labor artist job works?
the moment i can tell you have never given an ounce of thought to how movies or tv shows or video games or whatever are made, literally nothing you say on the topic is worth listening to. you have shown you, at minimum, simply do not care about who is making these things. your concern is Random Instagram Artist Number 2,158.
the artist who designed bluey was paid a wage for her labor. 2 billion worth of merch sales and no royalties for the designer. isn’t intellectual property grand? it’s so good for the little guy :)
My name isn’t credited anywhere, because I signed my copyright away in a bog standard Animation workers contract at the start of the production. Your mind wanders though. If only I’d been a bit more confident, hired a lawyer, negotiated some kind of revenue share or residuals as part of my contract. Maybe I would feel less…alienated…about the entire thing. Or at least have a bit more financial security to show for it. My designs have generated roughly 2 billion dollars for the people lucky enough to be cashing in on it. Not bad surplus value for someone on an 88k salary.
"We're gonna achieve immortality by turning ourselves into machines" buddy I want you to find yourself a 15 year old laptop and try to run a 10 year old piece of software on it please. Connect to the internet, if you can, and attempt to log into any of your online accounts
don’t flirt with me I’ll start imagining you in my little delusional scenarios before bed
No, seriously 😐
Attached WAY too quickly
"do it scared" gets exhausting when you're The Fearful Afraider and everything is scary even when you're in your 30s
i'm a little tutorial fairy and i flutter around after you and go like "remember, turning on your lantern can improve visibility in dark places!" but then suddenly i feel like i'm being annoying and i get really quiet and distant for the next three hours

Did y'all know that 70% of all mining operations in latin america and the caribbean involve a canadian transnational mining corporation?
Anyway, when I was in college I was constantly going to marches and protests against canadian and saudi mining projects in the Santurbán páramo, one of the most important ecosystems in Colombia in terms of biodiversity, and the source of drinking water of 30+ municipalities in my state, including the city I live in. Ultimately these mining proposals lost their license due to environmental regulations.
But now that our new far-right president elect is looking to suck up to imperial core powers once again, canadian mining corporation Aris mining is interested in re-starting mining projects in Santurbán. Which, would inevitably give cyanide poisoning not only to my city's drinking water, but 30+ other municipalities and indigenous communities.
The imperial core will see one of latin america's veins and go "is anyone gonna cut that open?" and not wait for an answer
i go to the shop and I ask if they have any raspberries. they say no, they used to sell raspberries, but they haven't had any in stock in the last 15 years. I ask if there's somewhere else I can go to buy raspberries. They say no, with confidence and pride, they're the only shop around who has ever sold or will ever sell raspberries. Other shops might sell other fruit, sure, but they have a monopoly on all raspberries forever. I ask if they're possibly planning on them selling them again in future? they say they can't tell me that.
on the way home, I encounter someone eating raspberries. I ask and they tell me that they grow their own, they got some seeds from the shop back in The Raspberry Days and kept them. They take me to a field of many beautiful raspberry plants and invite me to pick my own, they're free for all the town to pick whenever they'd like.
someone comes up behind us. It's the shop manager, President of Nintendo Shuntaro Furukawa. he hatefully throws a bob-omb that blows up and kills both of us instantly for stealing 200 trillion dollars worth of potential Raspberry Shop That Doesn't Do Raspberries Anymore profits that they weren't making and then he turns around to the camera with a big thumbs up and says don't do piracy or something ok please
ive become the friend that's too woke after saying it's weird that anomaly games are experiencing a cross-breeding with border control games without addressing the fascist politics being critiqued by the border control games so we end up with stuff like "animal hospital", a game where you work in a hospital, and have to take patients, but some of the patients that come in seeking aid are actually eldritch monsters, pretending to be patients so they can prey on the weak and vulnerable.
and isnt that just so fucking topical. "yeah there's an evil other that preys on the vulnerable. and they look and act exactly like everyone else until you inspect them closely on a camera and the true nature of the monster is revealed. and even though they attack people on the street all you have to do is refuse them service and they leave on their own" just let me call ICE on them at that point
if your BORDER PATROL GAME is so moderately political that youtubers can play it and the only thing they come out with is "WOAGH!!!! border patrol game but with WAIFUS!!!!" you gotta get shot im not even joking someone has to killy ou
and this isnt even mentioning the ableism present in "oh your face or skin looks different than *normal*" or "hmmm your proportions are off and therefore BAD"
like people who are accident victims exist! people with different phenotypes and syndromes exist!! hyper policing other peoples bodies to sort them into inherently bad and corrupted and good and pure is real fucking weird and fascist!!!!!!
"no one is arguing hrt for kids" i ammmm<3
The pathologization of anger needs to be talked about. What do you mean my therapist is telling me that there’s something “chemically wrong” with me because I am still angry about my mom DYING OF COVID.
of course I’m still angry? My mom and 1.3 million other Americans are dead and you want me to shoot sunshine out of my ass about it?
“But It’s been 3 years since she died, you have complex grief” yeah and she was on a ventilator for 11 days and she kept writing “I am scared” and “I don’t want to die” on a notepad over and over again. While you were still going out unmasked and unvaccinated and coughing all over each other, I was living a nightmare I couldn’t fucking wake up from. And every single day I’m reminded of it in the form of “haha wasn’t the pandemic such a wacky time haha” and “I’m not getting a booster you can’t make me 🤪 (nobody asked)” and “it’s not real they made the numbers up!!!”
“You’re not coping” Ok here’s the deal; I’ll stop feeling this anger when we have a national memorial (we don’t) or a cdc equipped to stop it from happening again (we don’t) or a population that takes a deadly disease seriously BEFORE it effects them personally (WE DON’T!)
until then, I’m pretty sure my anger is A COMPLETELY NORMAL HUMAN REACTION given the facts at hand
considers this
girls say this yea
one thing about me is i’m gonna go lay down
