Oh my, God Shoes

Give it up for Macropod March

Got your wet food, in your element, thriving

Oh no.

Trying to work back into a groove with art after a short sabbatical and whoof, between getting woken up at 3 in the morning and this hot weather, I find myself wishing I had an iced coffee.

the kind of wisdom one would hope to find in anxient tomes 🩸

While I can't really speak for the pedigree of clowns, I DO know that the common depiction of orcs that we see to this day are derived from racist anti-irish political cartoons from the 1800s, so it's not like there's not precedent for this sort of thing slipping through the cracks

This feels apocryphal. Many clown tropes are taken directly from commedia dell'arte and the Auguste archetype has been common even in countries with no Irish population to "poke fun at".

It's obviously not to say they've never been framed as such, but I don't think it was intentional in the design

Me when I'm lookin'

I'm trying

Some people have just gotten way too comfortable with consumption culture and that's why it's such an important message to put out there. It's not about purity, it's just about being mindful of what we consume & protecting the community aspect of fandom over just treating it as A Place To Buy Things

Zootopia isn't a problem for the fandom because the fandom has always taken from outside influence. If, however, Disney started buying booths at every furry con to sell Zootopia merch THAT would be problematic and should be rejected.

Like finding a Big Dog shirt or an Orangina advert appealing is one thing, but when hot topic starts dedicating space specifically to AI-generated furry-bait with furry-specific slogans that is an intentional attempt to barge their way into our niche and outcompete creators and should be rejected.

The importance of the sentiment is that corporations remain an *outside* influence on the fandom and not weasel their way into fandom spaces and bully out the small creators that actually drive the culture in the same way they have destroyed and replaced mom and pop businesses.

I was amused when I finally watched Bladerunner 2049 and the Scary Foreign Influence(tm) of the day had shifted from Japanese economic power influencing American culture to "Explicitly The Literal USSR Is Keeping America On Economic Life Support While Flooding It With Russian Immigrants"

Final tally:
Quests completed: 37
Crashes: 40
Computer lockups: 3

Rest in peace BUG HATER 9000

BOOO, tried to complete Veronica's quest & the paladins just eviscerated me with that gatling laser. Went from ~140 to 4hp in the time it took to throw a plasma grenade

Well that's the 3rd attempt so I will unfortunately have to declare this challenge a failure for now! Got farther than I expected!

Hyenamaxxing - Twitch Hi, I'm Possum! I'm an artist from SoCal that likes to just chill out and chat while playing games. I tend to like RPGs and immersive sims, but I play a little bit of everything so drop on in and hang...

Time to try not to die in New Vegas again

Come hang out!

Compressing the bingle into a two inch sphere

I know it’s difficult right now, but I insist that you seek and enjoy beautiful things, even if it seems frivolous or irresponsible in the face of overwhelming horror. I want you to feed yourself artistically, spiritually, and literally, because you can’t Do The Work when you’re starving.

Flattening things is what we do best

For a long time I wondered if it might just be all downhill from here for me, but realizing even a low paying job was such a critical piece of that puzzle does give me hope I can be that prolific again one day.

I just pray I can get at least a couple years out of it this time and stabilize.

I was buying art supplies and new tablets and upgrading my computer for creative work and I never had to think about my bills or food and I think that really showed in my body of work despite otherwise living in the same conditions; worse, even, in some ways!

Today I had a realization: For the last few years I've wondered WHY I seemed to be so productive in the mid-2010s and why I just haven't been able to keep pace since '21

Those peak art years where when I was caretaking and earning enough money to pay all my bills & buy whatever I wanted or needed.

I hope when all of this is over and the dust has settled, I can just go back to simply creating again.

I feel guilty for slowing down on my commission queue again but given my mother's health and the resulting increase in obligations I suppose it's to be expected.

Sometimes I do just wish I had the means to issue refunds to settle things until a better time. I'm truly grateful for people's patience.

If you have the means, please donate to the Trans Continental Pipeline right now. They are a Colorado based org that helps trans people relocate and they are overwhelmed with requests. Colorado borders Kansas, and TCP has the infrastructure to help get people out.
