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

01.03.2026 15:43 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Some 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

01.03.2026 15:23 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 2 π 0The 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.

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!
Time to try not to die in New Vegas again
Come hang out!

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.

This thread is now dedicated to organizing aid for trans refugees
