Me and my friend were talking about which Toby Fox song would be our personal soundtracks if we had to pick. We decided Spear or Justice for me because it just sounds like what my anxiety feels like. just a lot of !!!!??? !!!??? Constantly rising in tune. I love it.

“AI is clearly sticking around so you have to get used to it” wrong. I don’t have to get used to shit. I am a practiced hater and I can keep this going for decades if I am required to

YEAH

I named a character from my graphic novel Mira four years ago, the book came out this year and now half the comments on videos about it are “kpop demon hunters???” 🫣

Sephie is a lot cuddlier right now because it’s getting colder and it’s a new reason for me to like winter

Let me give some insight on this, as a producer in the dub industry who worked with major streamers, who's witnessed first-hand where this push for AI is coming from.

tl;dr: Only CEOs want this. Tell them how much you hate it. Be loud, email, call, @, post. You will kill this.

Me and my friend started a YouTube channel where we play drawing games (and sometimes video games) and chat and be goofy. Our new video goes up in 6 mins and we usually hang out in the live chat for the premiere :3

I’ve used this one before I think (it’s not the same as our current process but worked pretty well!)

Me and Emi made a set of drawings kind of like for PNG tubers and then Mike (who’s our editor) has a whole process for them in premiere that I don’t know how he does it XD. If someone did it the more usual way there’s free software for PNGtubers that you can download if you look it up!

This is why we all freak out about theft btw, bc just a few copies can make an actual, real difference. you would be surprised at how few copies someone needs to make it onto a bestseller list

Ahhh thank you so much! This is so helpful!!

Actually question for Canadian pals with art shops - how are we feeling about the whole shipping situation these days? It's been sounding kinda rough for many reasons lately :'0. Is it a bad time for me to start a shop next year? feel free to dm me with opinions

YEP. I even know two people who moved to live there now. Guess I have a couch to stay on during a visit XD
