maybe this is callous bc it's not my livelihood but i feel like i see these podcast headlines a lot and... can we just... relax?

every tale of adventure could be improved by 1 to 7 gay sex scenes

love this thread though would also love to see more throuples on television. it would just be cool! (i realize i am missing the point)

especially the urge to use fandom as an organizing mechanism to discipline the writer!

i mean for sure these categories are not so static, plenty of solvers write, plenty of fans love problems, plenty of writers are fans, yadda yadda. and we all love a blorbo. but yes the popular tendency to treat the writer as no more than a blorbo delivery mechanism is really not good

which is why fandom as a site of exchange between writers and readers/fans is also a site of contestation. some fans really seem to hate the creators of the thing they love, as if they resent their power to impose problems. even when they don't there's for sure a kind of jockeying that goes on

Someone at the TVL NYCC panel asked if the writers had considered "solving" the louis-lestat-armand love triangle with a throuple and the response was an emphatic NO (lol) and i have a take brewing that readers/fans are drawn to imagining solutions where writers are more about loving problems

suspiria (1977)

Darkness in the city under either an overpass or a train track symbols, a man on top of a large pile of rubble. He’s wearing black pants while it appears to be a white coat and has long white hair. He thinks, “– – alive. I’m alive. I’m ALIVE?”

as someone with amateur experience with all three (and not an especially visual thinker (lol)): it's so hard dude. worth it, but hard.

💖 Hi~ I've recently been hired as Illustration & Creative Lead at The Story Division, helping publishers with graphic novel projects. I'm currently updating our artist database & looking for a wider range of art styles.

Cartoonists: post sequentials, website, availability below. No DMs/emails plz!

For those wondering, I do still frequently go through wistful envy! I encourage you to browse my friend @charlenedraws.bsky.social's thread here: bsky.app/profile/char...

Illustration showing one book creator saying "I just found out my book won an award!" and the other saying "Wow, congrats!" but also wistfully thinking "I wish my books won awards. Or even just nominated. Sometimes I feel so invisible. Argh, why can't I just be happy for my friend? I'm a terrible person."

For fellow book creators who sometimes experience peer envy (hand waving here!) - here are some tips compiled from a poll I did a few years ago:

I can’t believe they sent out this misleading email again!

a.) This guy never worked at Universal Pictures.

b.) He formerly (not even currently, as implied here!) worked at Universal Music Group, a separate company that does … music.

Come on! Have some integrity.

In 1987, there were 27 California Condors in the world, all captive.

In 2024, there were 566.

369 of them fly free.

We did that. We fixed it.

In response to a letter issued by New York Governor Kathy Hochul, Aetna, Emblem Health and United Health Care have confirmed that they will continue to cover COVID vaccines.

in case anyone wants help for this: i traced my trouble reading back to 2013 aka when i got a smartphone. when i want to read i go somewhere quiet in my house and start reading out loud to get past the brain weirdies. it is still hard but that has worked at times.

So how are all my former gifted and talented kids who used to read several books a day and now rot their faculties doomscrolling while ignoring a TV show doing tonight

Please support this beautiful and heartfelt comic anthology spotlighting Palestinian comic creators!!

All of us contributors made these comics for free, and all proceeds will be donated directly to the Palestinian Children’s Relief Fund! 🍉

The number of times I see gg boiled down to “gamers mad at women” that leaves the racists, antisemites, homophobes et all out, or the fact that it was a calculated act of domestic violence, or that he did it in response to me getting an abortion… that context is really relevant to why it blew up!

I humbly request that if you are unfamiliar with #endfathersday, Kathy Sierra, the endless September, the “chimpire”, or chanology that you maybe do a bit more reading and see shit in its proper context.

I read this earlier and its the nicest silver lining I've seen all day

Hawaii announced they are joining California, Oregon, and Washington’s West Coast Health Alliance which will provide their own science-based vaccine guidelines and make vaccines accessible to everyone.

Meme: Anton Ego (from Disney Pixar Ratatouille) leans menacingly toward the viewer. A text post next to him says, "I don't NETWORK. I don't PROMO. I don't WRITE TO MARKET. I write SELF INDULGENT BULLSHIT and if anyone reads it, I FREAK OUT and LOVE THEM FOREVER."

is it true that posts with external links don't show up in Tumblr tags? back when I would post the webcomic, I'd always link, at the bottom, to a QPOC artist and a cause I thought was cool. but was that causing me to get hidden???? not that i think i utilized tags well anyway but...
