I come bearing a new and fresh commission sheet!

Some information I didn't include in the image (because I forgot, I'm sorry lol):

In case of extra characters, it'll add 50% of the original amount to each extra character. So if you were getting a full-body lineart only (which is$30) and wanted it to be a couple, that would be $45; for 3 people, $60, and so on...

I've been taking art classes, so I am constantly improving my skills, there might be things I don't really do now that I will be able in a couple weeks, so don't be afraid to ask

[howtokillavampire]

I ran an Aliens rpg years back. But the players didn't KNOW it was an Aliens game until halfway through the first session.

They thought it was a sci-fi game but they also thought the monsters were going to be zombies.

Over a period of 2 hours they then proceeded to make EVERY Aliens movie cliche "mistake" known to man. Because at the time they all made sense.

The characters in a story don't know they're in a story or what kind of story it is.

They might think their in a romcom instead of a slasher movie. And if you're not in a slasher movie, why the fuck would you search through every closet in your house just because a cup mysteriously fell off a table in the dining room?

Trans people just existing is no more sexual than when cis people just exist.

I've reached the point where cynicism is a major turn-off for me. You're not smarter than idealists, and you're not helping.

[quasi-normalcy]

Funny that the stereotypical cynic is an idealist who aged out of it. In my experience, the reverse is true. I was an extreme cynic as a teenager and then I noticed how profoundly limiting it was, and also that "cynics are cool and smart" was a message that was being constantly reinforced by corporate media for some reason.

[quasi-normalcy]

#yes! cynicism reads as very juvenile to me#and yes prev often stemming from teen pain

Yeah, like I see black-pilled people on here and my default reaction isn't "oh, these must be world-weary old warriors who've lost their faith in humanity", it's "these people are in their 20s and need a hobby"

[quasi-normalcy]

I also think that the present era has proven that authoritarian leaders don't actually want a population of wide-eyed idealists, they want a population of jaded assholes who are convinced that everyone is lying, any resistance is either a scam or doomed to failure, and nothing can ever get better.

Rule #2

Don’t ever hug a lobster when you see one on the street,

For decorum is essential when a lobster you must greet.

You may comment on the weather, compliment his choice of hat,

But crustaceans like their space if one should stop them for a chat.

Don’t ever hug a lobster when you’re strolling down the coast,

Simply nod and give a greeting, or a handshake at the most,

For a lobster’s first priority is formal social graces,

And one seemes over-familiar if a lobster one embraces.

Don’t ever hug a lobster when you meet one in the sea,

For a lobster’s spines and chitin make it difficult, you see,

And he might become self-conscious if you bring that fact to light,

So don’t ever hug a lobster, simply put, it’s impolite.

[natnormalatall]

roald dahl was antisemitic and misogynistic. george orwell was openly homophobic. edgar allan poe married his 13 year old cousin. dr seuss cheated on his wife (and was racist as well as antisemitic!). hp lovecraft was racist as fuck. anyways they’re fucking dead it’s not like you’re enabling their behaviors in the afterlife or something. then again I think they bleed into the books so uh keep an eye out for that

the difference between these old white guys and jk rowling is that the former group is all dead. jk rowling is alive and using your money to oppress trans people

"To the task!"

(I know. Please ignore the fact that I had to flip the source picture to make it work. 😖)

No AI used, because I don't need that shit.

Inspired by the universe of @the-pen-pot's WIP Sigh No More

[saladscream]

I hate that we live in a world where people doubt artists and accuse them of using AI.

I hate that we live in a world where there are douchebags out there who call themselves 'artists' and use AI.

And in only vaguely related matters, I hate that my one and only set of skills means people don't even notice how much work goes into my pictures.

left: source pic (Captain Flint in Black Sails) right: manip - broadened shoulders and slimmed hips to better suit Bradley James' physique + red shirt to better suit the Pendragon theme The differences are subtle, but they require efforts and mean the resulting manip works better as a whole.

I don't know why I wanted to show you this, but I just saw a great artist on the verge of quitting a fandom because of such hideous accusations, and it's made me angry and truly disheartened.

And, to be perfectly honest... when I see the number of notes my stuff gets, it makes me wonder why I continue to share out here. I'm still posting because of the few die hard friends who engage and interact and reblog, but I could get the same kick out of just sending them my stuff directly via DMs or Discord.

Something to consider.

[the-pen-pot]

*all the hugs* I know I'm one of those die hard fans, but I adore seeing your stuff on Tumblr too, and seeing your hard work! I'm only sorry that there are people out there who have fallen into that trap of accusing everyone of AI, all the time.

It's reached the point where the accusations are becoming more damaging than the ai itself.

I wish there was an easy answer. It sucks so bad. I can't wait for the gen AI bubble to burst.

[cbk1000]

I love your manips (and love the behind-the-scenes peek; I have no photo editing skills and can only imagine the work that must go into it) but hate that you have to put a disclaimer that your work is not AI. I'm tired of seeing generative AI in creative spaces; I'm even more tired of mindless pitchfork-seizing by people who are convinced they can spot an AI work with 100% accuracy based on some arbitrary tell.

I'm sorry you're feeling discouraged. I've done the shouting into the void thing before and know how much it sucks. No artist or writer is owed engagement...but people seem to forget sometimes that engagement is what keeps fandom active and thriving. You don’t HAVE to reblog art or comment on a fic, but eventually that artist or writer will stop posting. Most of us are sharing our work because we want to actively participate in the community; if we feel like the community's collective response is, 'So what?' to our work, it puts a bit of a damper on the sharing spirit.

I think tumblr has got worse for this. I suspect it's the bleeding in of other social media platforms where people just consume and move on. People might like artwork or a snippet of a fic, but far fewer actually reblog or comment on it. I've been on tumblr a long time and I feel the ratios used to be better; more people would actually reblog a post and keep it circulating in the community.

I have cochlear implants and I can only buy parts to fix them or upgrade then from 1 corporation bc of tech exclusivity. upgrades to get new processors for both ears cost $23k & insurance only covers 90% (and it’s “good” insurance)

cyberpunk dystopia is already here for the disabled. fight for universal healthcare, fight against capitalism NOW.

[dovewithscales]

I want all the abled people reading this to go price check a power wheel chair.

The future people fear with subscription fees for body parts is already here. The plot of Repo! The Genetic Opera is already here. Disabled people are already facing impossible prices for aids and treatments they need to live.

[fabuloustrash05]

The Huskerdust blobfish scene is so funny not just cause of how cute their being, but knowing the context that both Angel and Husk died before the blobfish was ever discovered is hilarious

Angel died in the 40s, Husk died in the 70s, meanwhile the blobfish was discovered in I believe the early 2000s, so this really is brand new information for them that they both just learned about in this moment XD

[1spooky2me]

The only boy he ever loved was Angel in drag.

M o r e…

From time to time, I get a random moment when I'll remember "shit, I love Angel Dust/ Huskerdust"
