its really cool that we discovered glass which is the material that doesnt have any chemical reactions with anything in the universe very useful for doing chemistry due to being able to put things in it to contain chemical reactions and never having it react with the things that are in it due to it being completely and entirely unreactive to every chemical

I don't want to put this on that person's post, bc they are in the situation that they're in, they're very clearly advocating for themselves and other people the best they can given truly fucked up circumstances, and they don't need some asshole saying what I'm about to say to them right now. This is not aimed at them.

But: this is the inherent problem with flocking to platforms like webtoon 'for the audience'. Even if you are exactly the right combination of lucky and marketable, even if you successfully tap the market they've created, you don't get to walk away with those eyeballs. All you've done is tie your livelihood to someone else's infrastructure.

This is the nature of the modern web, you are always handing over the keys to your career to some other asshole to some extent. It might be twitch or youtube muting and demonetising your videos, it might be social media purging adult accounts, it might be patreon changing a policy overnight and decimating your income. Every time you buy into one of these marketplaces you HAVE TO do so with the knowledge that they could flip the table at any moment. You have to be aware of what you could lose by making their service a point of failure. Please please please please at least build a website.

most of a continent’s economy taken up entirely by the a 900-year-old dragon’s developed taste for human whiskey. on the one hand the dragon can breathe fire and is the size of a stone building; on the other it cannot conceive of making its own barrels, corn, labor, etc. AND SO THUS: fully one fourth of your graduating class went into whiskey production. it is even currently a growth industry because the dragon killed another dragon recently and ate(?) her liver

any knight born after 1200 can’t achieve the holy grail, all they know is feasting, charge their horse, kill, have affair, go mad in the forest & cry

look Homestuck has its faults and say what you will but the “getting punched into next week. Literally.” gag where they end up literally where they would be next week, at the grocery store, is still the funniest fucking thing.
