Today, I drew my Fallout: New Vegas character and my boyfriend asked me "what the fuck, is that your dad?" No, I guess I'm just washed.

👀 Must be the season of the fish. Squidfacts.net
A tote bag with a bunch of freak ass fish including the mola mola, barreled, gulper eel, and viperfish, with fish in a bunch of languages. The words on the graphic say freaky
Fish tote. Each of the fish is popping in. The mola mola saga omg I’m on a bag. The vioerfish says how alluring!

In light of some magazines pulling scummy things on creators lately, I’m doing a little thread on short story rights. I don't want anybody getting taken advantage of. Also, if you're new, this stuff can be confusing!

happy international lesbian octopus day :) #splatoon #splatoc
pen and marker drawing of dew, a thin octoling with tan, freckled skin and tentacles kind of in a mullet (one of which has recently been cut short). she has pink ink here. she’s dressed in a jean jacket sporting a lesbian flag patch over a white tank top tucked into brown sweatpants. and orange sneakers. her special is visibly charged. she is jumping and charing a tri-stringer shot (vertically, despite being in the air). she is grinning.

sexhaver
someone on r/legaladvice was sick of their coworker stealing their food out of the fridge so they started labeling it "POISON - DO NOT EAT" in sharpie on both the bag and the food's wrapper every day and the person still kept stealing it so after a week they added a bunch of laxatives to their food and the thief had to go to the hospital and could possibly sue OP. the general consensus was that OP was technically objectively in the wrong from a legal standpoint but there is 0% chance of them being convicted in criminal court because that would require finding 12 jurors who would rule in favor of someone stealing food labeled "POISON - DO NOT EAT" and then getting poisoned

I only know the scene with the really long staircase and that the lesbians are young. No clue what the heck the setting is. Somebody in the comments jogged my memory by mentioning a car.

In thinking about the act of consumption, I remembered a little excerpt I read in my final semester of college. Jean Rhys, feeding the lake. I drink like a data center and expect praise and respect and all this shit I don't deserve even if I were to return my pollution to the lake.

Actually, when I say "there's not enough time" I'm lying out of my ass. Surely I could be doing something besides bashing my head fruitlessly against Slay the Spire or watching mad genius Wolfe Glick explain some batshit team he devised to counter the current Pokémon Champions meta.

Hokuto @gloomdweller.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
I've stagnated on all of my other interests and (admittedly unimpressive) skills because there's not enough time and nobody gives enough of a shit for me to, for example, continue playing with polymer clay. (Sculpey has gotten quite expensive, too.)

And that's the other thing, if I suck at doing things, I don't want to do them. I've barely squeaked towards halfway competent with drawing after 20 years of doing it. My biggest commission is a painting on a guitar and I warned my client ahead of time that I am NOT a painter.

The best gift anyone has ever given me is the electric bass my boyfriend got for my birthday. Her name is Sadie after my bassist OC and I can count how many times I've played her on my hands and feet. My hands are too small and weak to reach and hold down the strings. I suck ass at bass.

My therapist gave me the assignment of writing a couple hours a day, which I have done on zero of the seven days this past week. I'm typing this 25 minutes out from my next session, so you bet your ass I'm not hitting the quota now. Even the week before, all I did was rewrite some shit from college.

Hokuto @gloomdweller.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
but I did get re-accepted. (Under the wrong major, but it's something.) I have written... 3000 words of bad fanfiction in the 28 months since I last set foot into a college classroom. That's it. One hundred words per month. And I still, until recently, had the audacity to call myself a writer.

Before I dropped out the second time, I was an English major. They added "concentration in creative writing" sometime after I left. I can't afford to go back on my own, especially hearing about how student loans for a lot of programs are getting cut in 2027 (thanks, Trump administration!),

Hokuto @gloomdweller.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
Adding to the whole "I don't create for the love of the game" thing, just about all of my serious work came from college projects. My storyboard? My shitty little visual novel? Community college. Those comics from 2023? Autobiographical Narrative through Graphic Novels, university. That class ruled.

Hokuto @gloomdweller.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
Unless I did a ArtFight 2026 roundup (see? I can't even remember that), the only art I've posted on Bluesky this year was a piece I was paid to draw. Even then, the motivation was "this is what I can do, pay me because I'm a good-for-nothing bum who can't find decent fucking work."

Hokuto @gloomdweller.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
But this thread is about art, right? I genuinely cannot remember the last time I made something for the intrinsic reward of making it. ArtFight? I make sure to do it every year, but I expect, at minimum, validation from the recipients. I've drawn other people's characters way more than my own.

Hokuto @gloomdweller.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
It then occurred to me that I have made one zine ever and don't have enough recent art (no comics after 2023, especially!) to apply with. I would need a business license, a credit card reader, hundreds of dollars of orders my broke ass has never been able to hold on to.

Hokuto @gloomdweller.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
This morning, I saw artist applications for a small comic/zine fair at my local library. I've been itching to find a sense of community outside of my extremely limited and conservative social circle, so I thought "this might be a fun thing to try if I can eat the cost of making and buying merch."

Having an existential crisis about what it means to be an artist. I've seen the posts about "people who are too overworked to do/make what they love are still artists," but even when I have the time (I am literally unemployed right now), I don't make art.

More fan animations, honestly. I've already seen a few that go super hard. Sorry about not thinking about it on the competitive scale like everyone else, but I can't convince very many people to hang out with the five Splatoon fans in Honolulu County.

Felt that! No one wins the comparison game, but it's hard not to play it. I'm literally autistic about the Pokémon franchise and still tremble before TCG collectors and anyone with any competitive prowess in any format.

Every year, a substantial amount of academic research is published about, or with some connection to, the Pokémon franchise and/or fandom. While occasionally some of this research breaks through to the fandom and/or to mainstream news, much of this research sadly goes underreported, and unread by the wider community of Pokémon fans. That's why, as part of an ongoing project to bring more of this work to the attention of the broader Pokémon community, we're looking to share recent research... Read more

I just can't get behind feral cats; they collectively drive over 30 species of bird extinct every year. I live in one of the extinction capitals of the world. Plenty of our native birds already have to compete with introduced species, they don't need to know what having predators is like.
