biiiiig Silk + Cassandra Cain commission done! where they're hanging was artist's choice, so of course i put 'em in a record store with the client's fave albums. soooo freakin fun 🕸️🎸🦇

an 11x17 inch ink, watercolor and gouache illustration on bristol paper depicting Silk and Cassandra Cain in an old school record store. Cassandra Cain sits on a round orange stool with chrome trim and is thrashing whilst turning up the volume on an amp to "MAX". in front of her is a Micro-Seiki DD-40 turntable, currently playing DANGER DAYS by My Chemical Romance. in between a pair of wood-paneled speakers mounted on the walls, Silk sits in a relaxed pose and hands another record (LILIAC by IU) to Cassandra. decorating the walls are more vinyls and posters including works by Sam Cooke, Norah Jones, Nas, Big Pun, Labi Siffer, Olivia Dean, Yorushika, and (my self-indulgent addition) The Strokes. the colors are bright, with the lime-green walls dominating, mixtures of purple, pink, teal and highlighter yellow in the characters' supersuits, plus warm browns and oranges in the furniture and audio gear.

If you rebrand the Red thread of Fate (Taoist) into this culture-less woo woo bullshit called Invisible String Theory I think less of you.

My brain sure picked a fucked time to have a want for a character themed tarot deck; the economy is so shit that the coolest decks for FF7 or Arcane aren’t produced anymore because quality printers apparently demand 2000 count minimum for deck printing. All because I had an OoT Tarot deck dream

I know this is a tangent on the thread but when I got laid off, our new executive director had asked department heads to lowball everyone on their performance reviews so that “everyone had room to grow for future raise evaluation”. I didn’t say anything then, but holy fuck did I nearly quit that day

When industry-wide unionization finally gets established in the video game industry in the states, we need to be prepared to support a long strike that will delay some of your favorite games. Cuz' that's what it's going to take to make these companies start giving a shit about their workers.

Peoples inability to fathom the unspoken in media is what makes narrative analysis fucking painful to do on the internet. The explicit text of anything is not the end all be all, nor is it the limitation of possibility. Your imaginations are shackled by simplicity and a need for validation.

I have this suspicion that people who think Macklemore is bad music never really listened to anything that wasn’t Thrift Shop or Same Love. Like, Heist is a good album, but what he released before that fucks. You don’t have to like it and he’s not the greatest of all time, but he has the skills.

This is what race to the bottom means. You see it in every industry in non-unionized work. NonU actors right now are not just competing with actors, they’re also now forced out by producers who are instead paying pennies to “UGC” creators to do commercials, without the skills that cost money.

Deadass; I’m sure the OW subreddits are probably up in a fury for the Sombra and Hog changes, or how the roadmap set out and the animatics weren’t enough. Fam, the D stage was screaming. That’s in the rebroadcast room; we could hear the main stage. People do invest care and it people do love it.

The internet is not a real place. I’m literally seeing comments that the crowd didn’t care about the blizzard reveals. I can tell you that place was electric. As I’ve said a lot of people are addicted to anger and rage bait because it’s what the algorithm wants you to see.

If you like a fandom, but dislike the source media, you’re not a fan. If you stalk or harass the creator of the source media, you’re not a fan. If you demand a marginalized creator fit your idea of ‘authenticity’ with regard to THEIR identity, you’re not a fan.

Man, it’s insane how much tech bros hate creators that they went all in on sloppifying every single forum where artists of all kinds try to do work. I will never not be furious at how TikTok got wildly commodified into a place that tries to market ad traffic, low effort sales, and outright lies.

"They're not misunderstanding the film; they're co-opting a message"

Screencap from the interview linked in the quoted post

Marlow Stern (the interviewer): You have one of the most renowned replies in Twitter history. Elon Musk tweeted out, “Take the red pill,” then Ivanka Trump enthusiastically wrote, “Taken!” to him, and then you replied, “Fuck both of you.” I’m curious how you feel about the co-opting of “The Matrix” by those on the right who don’t really seem to understand its messaging.

Lilly Wachowski: I mean, I can’t sit in a room and explain the movie to every single person who watches it. Even if I did sit in a room with Elon Musk and Ivanka Trump — yikes — it doesn’t matter. They’re not misunderstanding the film; they’re co-opting a message. And that’s what fascists do: They co-opt the messages of progressives and use it to their benefit to confuse and obfuscate what is going on and the intention of their ideology. They do it with everything. They do it with Martin Luther King Jr. Look at how they’ve changed the idea of what antisemitism is.

I often struggle to answer when people ask me what my gay awakening was, mostly because I think I’ve always had a really strong grasp of myself as a concept, but truthfully the answer is probably Sheik from Ocarina of Time. Anyhow it turns out I really liked the demo trailer for the remake.

Ok listen I need the whimsy infusion and early Fairy Tail’s decision to paint Cana as gay as possible was truly something else. If Juvia hadn’t been red thread of fated to Gray, Miss Alberona would have absolutely snatched her up.

I would like to just create but the pressure of the world has made the communities I create for constantly hostile and ready to vent spleen at a pin drop. I’m not sure how to even begin to *share* whimsy when people refuse to be receptive. I can have whimsy for myself, but I create for a reason.

Someone opens the video with a hook that is blatantly wrong? Idc block em, move on. Text posts on video platforms of “off my chest” type confessions against popular opinion or common wisdom? Fuck outta here. Trying to dogpile large creators for perceived sleights? Go touch the grass they won’t.

Content creators and non creator friends, if there is one piece of advice I can offer in this current era of the internet: Stop allowing yourself to be ragebaited by 10 follower accounts. Not just commenters, but would be “discourse starters” or posters. Honestly, they’re probably just 12.

Reading leadership textbooks can be immensely frustrating; in the same vein that immensely privileged individuals offer anecdotes of the ways they solved problems that were only possible due to their pre existing connections and power, hearing a leader wax poetic on their wins is often radicalizing.
