Friend, has a giant media conglomerate or streaming service recently let you down? Do you long to see art and artists who really deserve your consideration?

This thread will link you to HOURS of ongoing animated series from independent creators who’d love your attention & support! Watch them! 🧵

I wish I could do what GRRM did with Elden Ring and just write world lore for someone else's OCs to live in. like I want that as my lifelong career. I've only done this once and it was the greatest experience ever

omg I feel you on honeydew. it tastes like it has no soul

it does have a Real vibe to it haha

Congratulations everyone

you can tell I'm fighting for my life with my end-of-month workload right now bc I'm posting so much

despite my criticism I do think it's kinda nice that her song is about having fun and the worst thing she's done is skip school

I do however think it's silly that they've dubbed her upcoming album The Elementary School Dropout. we get it guys, He Made Graduation

also something really funny imo is that her dad did his own remix of the song and it sounds. atrociously messy lmaooooo

YouTube video by North West - Topic PIERCING ON MY HAND

you can absolutely feel Kanye's influence but she has this unique weeaboo future bass twist to it. it's so creative and fun to listen to. I think over time things'll get better once she masters lyricism

lyrics to North West's song "Piercing On My Hand". Reading: Skippin' school, yeah, I do that on the daily Jaded London fits, someone's gonna save me (Hahahaha) Got some new Ricks, yeah, they are so crazy All my songs are hits, you know I'm not lazy (North) You are so angry that I'm so mainstream Dissed her once, now she wanna replace me You can never faze me, just erase me Talkin' a lot lately, I'm not your opp, crazy I want more piercings and tats I lovе blue hair, put it in some plaits Put the music to thе max I want like a hundred thousand racks

keeping up with the Kardashians (literally, not the show) is a guilty pleasure of mine as a former Kanye fan, and something kinda incredible is that North has gotten into music and imo is actually BETTER than her father at producing

however, she's a rich kid and also 12, so her lyrics are like this

I could see that, survival shows have always been weird when it comes to acknowledging other shows and try to skirt around them as much as possible haha

in general my struggles with GF stuff is that I can taste the tapioca. idk why it's overpowers everything for me. I wish potato starch could give that "chewy" texture because I def prefer the flavor over tapioca starch 😭

oh him!! he has such an iconic pretty visual omg. I'm surprised he's not going by the stage name Midori given that there's another Daiki?

I can't help but wonder if he assumed that since most of us were Asian we'd be ok. a few people didn't notice at first. I'm SE Asian but it was my very first exposure to durian and I'll never forget it LOL

someone once had durian for lunch in an office I worked at ages ago. it was a tiny little space that fit ~15 cramped desks and the windows couldn't really open so the only way we could air things out was to prop the front door and wait 😭

honestly part of why i love bsky is bc it has my fav "i'm not going to fight an internet stranger you fucking weirdo" starter pack

oh I heard about the younger brother of an idol!!! I can't remember his name, I wanted to see his fancam too

I give this about a 7/10. it has the same texture as nissin cup noodles, which is impressive. my main complaint is the empty flavor. I can still taste the rice-ness of the noodles, and definitely the tapioca starch. they don't have that specific umami bite that ramen noodles usually have though

currently making some chicken broth from leftover rotisserie and am gonna try these GF noodles with them. will report back on if they're actually good or if they taste soulless like a lot of other substitute foods 😭

even with the use of skirts and cropped shorts/pants, I feel like Thom Browne's style takes what we traditionally consider "gendered", restricted items and readdresses it with a masculine form. it's like a reclamation, pride, and show in comfort with masculinity

trans guy here, I've always been partial to "genderless" silhouettes a la Yohji Yamamoto, big black coats and boxy shapes that swallow the form. I assume it's likely to hide my feminine curves

these days my current eye is on Thom Browne, androgynous-leaning high-fashion suits and prep pieces

also watching the signal song again, it really feels like an anime opening lmao. I still really hate the goofy hand shaking/waving part of the choreo, it makes it look like a kindergarten dance

being A-class, center-wing, and even getting a rap solo for the signal, I think he's pretty much a debut lock. his PR videos also give a very earnest personality. the ideal type for a japanese kpop-aligned idol. if he had been born much earlier he would've been perfect for JO1

I said I wouldn't be keeping up with PD101JP Shinsekai due to Lapone being evil but Terui Kosuke's fancam showed on my algo and wow what an idol. he's one of the fan favorites right now and I fully agree, he has a v refreshing vibe and excellent stage presence

The Dracula cover I worked on is finally revealed.

I am very stoked about this project, because doing a cover art for a classical book is a dream I didn't know I had, and also because they agreed to have the cover art minimalistic and elegant, and I AM SO HAPPY ABOUT IT.

owo what's this

sorry (not sorry) if this is a hot take, but I've seen conversation today about creators who are forced out of online spaces due to overzealous fan pressure, and I guess some people are suggesting that creators need to "not care" but you know what I think

fans need to chill the fuck out

fully

Here’s the thing and I’m gonna tell you: a lot of fans are why so many creators just don’t want to create anymore. And so many of them are oddly proud of their ability to bully.

In order for cartoons as a concept to survive, they need to knock that shit off.
