Reposted by Chanangel💀 @sabattons.com · 07/10/2026one of the best decisions you can make as an artist is to stop talking about your artwork from a position of defending it. the artists statement should be a tool of pride, community, and conversation, not an appeal to those who had no interest in (or ability to) understand it in the first place. 31106351
Chan @chancekey.bsky.social · 03/10/2026It's also hilarious how Orgotha is very Soviet coded. So, we have a land of advice opposed by a land of No Advice Pls 011
Chan @chancekey.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Genly first half of the book: These aliens are so peculiar, just look at Estraven for a typical example! Genly by the end: The aliens are just ppl I guess but holy hell what on Gethen is Estraven's biography 110
Chan @chancekey.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Fell bros <3 And (looks cautiously around) maybe Edge and Felldyne? 120
Chan @chancekey.bsky.social · 30/09/2026I actually had to disconnect some dots first, because I was struggling with the language during first chapters and changes of POVs made me fully believe that the historical snippet was somehow about *our* Estraven until I reached the disclaimer that the name was still popular 110
Chan @chancekey.bsky.social · 30/09/2026(doesn't Estraven mention "the first and only real" kemmering vow to a now dead man and then immediately lament mentioning his brother in the 6th chapter already, or was I simply too ready to connect the the dots) 110
Chan @chancekey.bsky.social · 27/09/2026just as the nights got too cold to keep the window open here :c 010
Chan @chancekey.bsky.social · 25/09/2026When a fandom is 60 years old, there are probably quite a few hand-written fics sadly lost to time (as someone who's been to a "18 fics total and none of them are the canon ship despite them having awesome chemistry" fandom, I feel your pain) 120
Chan @chancekey.bsky.social · 23/09/2026strategically placed bodies do help with a lot of writing problems 020
Chan @chancekey.bsky.social · 18/09/20263am is so creatively productive that it's almost annoying 040
Chan @chancekey.bsky.social · 16/09/2026D: on the other hand, that'd be 50% less of the thing that's trying to kill you! And it's kind of a good sign that they don't insist on removing it whole, means it can potentially go back to baseline when not as enlarged? At least from what I gather 🫂 110
Chan @chancekey.bsky.social · 16/09/2026(I'm currently on chapter 7 of LHOD and getting sucked into the story!) (but my (English, not just Gethen) vocabulary gets expanded in cruel unusual ways; I had to take a break to learn to pronounce "circumambulate" and not giggle at it) 120
Chan @chancekey.bsky.social · 10/09/2026I see it at the end of fics all the time and find it sweet! And sometimes it gives me the final push to try to phrase the emotions said fic give me, if I already wanted to (but when I try to add the same note to mine it feels kinda wrong, yeah) 030
Chan @chancekey.bsky.social · 10/09/2026🤝 (distant wails of "I didn't make the text clean enough from the get-go and now have to Edit It (rattling of dread)") 110
Chan @chancekey.bsky.social · 05/09/2026100% me during writing. The swings between these are absolutely brutal 020

Chan @chancekey.bsky.social · 23/08/2026I'm hoard the memories of them inside my head (because life never teaches me to save stuff) 140
Chan @chancekey.bsky.social · 23/08/2026Are not-OCs and just original UT characters allowed? Artfight includes listing a few characters as your own for attacks, and I'm a little confused as to how it translates into one fandom. Do we just list which chars we want to see when receiving attacks? 120
Chan @chancekey.bsky.social · 23/08/2026If you crave a perfect downward spiral you could keep reading the fics by the same author as BB, they got less and less optimistic (and finished) 120
Chan @chancekey.bsky.social · 20/08/2026"The Devil's Price" is regularly stuck in my mind because of the awesome Gaster & Sans animation set to it 020

Chan @chancekey.bsky.social · 20/08/2026That's so cool 👀 congratulations and hope you have a blast! 120
Chan @chancekey.bsky.social · 20/08/2026The boring but likely choice is Rosie (I like the idea of it being Nifty, though) 010
