Thanks to Ukie for taking our concerns seriously, and a huge thanks to @kendraserra.bsky.social for their tireless legal work on this. They deserve to be considered a folk hero.

Never thought this would happen. Stand up for your rights, folks!

the thing about traveling internationally and then coming back to the US to work retail is that now I feel like I escaped my cage but they caught me and put me back in and I’m not sure if that’s a good or bad thing for my current mental health

nooo don’t worry about it!! I just have this reaction every time I have to drive around waxpool 😭

THAT’S WHAT I KEEP THINKING

The Sense of Distance: Japan versus the American Midwest JoJo’s seventh story arc, Steel Ball Run, involves a race across America, but I knew that undertaking that journey by myself in one single trip would have been impossible. Instead, I split up the research into three sections: from the West Coast to the deserts, from the Great Plains to the Mississippi River and Chicago, and to the finish line in New York. Each region possesses its own culture and is home to different types of people. Without going there for yourself, it’s impossible to comprehend the feeling of scale in the midwestern United States, where the scenery stretches on forever and unchanging. The feeling of distance there is nothing like Japan. Say, for example, an enemy is approaching from afar -- at such a distance that escape would be trivial in Japan. In the Midwest, the open landscape remains identical from one hour to the next, and I was struck by the real sense that I could never make an escape from such an adversary; there was simply nowhere to hide. I was able to put that experience to good use when it came time to draw the manga. Travel there is mostly done by car. When you drive across those vast plains, the scenery is mostly devoid of any ups and downs, and is dotted only by the occasional town with nothing to claim but chain stores, seemingly little to provide amusement aside from watching movies, and you hardly ever see anyone else about. Rather than inspire thoughts of enjoying nature, it felt empty and lifeless and made me wonder if there was any fun to living there at all. A kind of atmosphere hung over these places that felt rich for suspense.

I often think about Araki's description of the Midwest from his time here doing research for Steel Ball Run. I think he nailed it.

Do you know what growing up in the mostly two dimensions of the great plains does to your mind? The Midwestern mind cannot comprehend a mountain. The ground only goes down then back up. Never just up. The kinds of mental development you endure bc of that is ripe for some exploitation yknow?

You want a new flavor of pastoral american ennui?? Put those bitches in a semi rural Midwestern farm town.

oh I’m horrified to learn this…..

WOW

what do you MEAN the link’s awakening remake is gonna be seven years old this year

A black and white comic, done in pencil in a sketchbook. Panel 1: A distant view of a road running through a barren desert. There are a handful of large clouds in the sky, a sign in the distance, a mountain even further down the road, and a loopdeloop in the other direction. There is a broken down car and some sort of encampment with smoke coming off it. Down the road past the sign, there is a small dust trail being kicked up. Floating in the sky are the words '"wizard car" by viv g'. Panel 2: a close up of a bearded person's face. They are wearing a big shaded hat and slightly oversized sunglasses balanced on their knobbly nose. Reflected in the sunglasses are the broken down car from panel 1 (with the hood popped open and apparently no wheels), and a look further down the road towards the oncoming dust cloud. Panel 3: a close-up of what appears to be a motorbike, with a jumpsuited person wearing gloves riding it (and fast). The motorbike(?) has a strange inscription on the side, and no front wheel is visible - instead, a cylinder is mounted underneath in a bracket, with what appears to be woodgrain on the end of that cylinder.

Page 2 of a sketchbook, with a black and white comic done in pencil. Panel 1: A wide shot of what we thought was a motorbike and its rider. It's actually a motorBROOM - a combination of modern motorbike and witches' broom. Smoke gently pours off of the bristles as it stops, with the jumpsuited rider placing one boot on the ground gently. There is another, different inscription on the other side of the motorbroom's gas tank, and a container box behind the seat. We can see that the rider is wearing both a backpack and a striped helmet with a wing on it. Panel 2-4: a short sequence of the rider taking their helmet off, revealing a feminine disposition, robust nose and bangs covering a single eye. In the 4th panel she says "Mg. Erstwham, reg. ex-heich-twenty-six, zee-bee-five?" In a rounded-rectangle speechbubble. Panel 5: The wizard takes a moment to look at the rider, with both in silhouette save for the wizard's sunglasses. The wizard was in the middle of taking a puff from a truly gigantic bong with lead, which is what was causing the smoke in panel 1 of the previous page - they've been here a while. Panel 6: Two shots of the wizard. The first is of them coughing terribly with the onomatopoeia "KOFF KOFF KOFF". The second is the first good look we get at them - elven pointy ears, a big-ass cloak, and droopy hat. In a hexagonal speechbubble, with additional "koff"s behind it, the wizard states "this is she.", all in lowercase. Up until this point, the reader has been led to believe this character is a man. Examine your biases!

Bought a sketchbook. Trying to rekindle my creative juices. Here's "wizard car" (2/?)
