A h-heartfelt reunion..?

Bonus

#Sir Crocodile #Monkey D Dragon #Emporio Ivankov #Dragodile #Crocodad #My art #One Piece #We're not gonna talk about the work I should be doing rn I have Severe Procrastinitis and I'm doing my best okay #Alternative version where it was both Crocodile and Garp beating Dragon's ass before Iva-chan joined in but that was too much effort lmao #I'm a believer in Dragon being a Wind Logia so don't worry guys he is 100% taking this beating intentionally #He knows what he did and he's dealing with the concequences of his actions. With grace. #You know I realize Iva-chan should be two whole meters taller than Crocodile but we're just gonna ignore that #Look Iva-chan taking Crocodile's side and being like ''Crocoboy is right you fucked up bad Dragon'' brings me joy #And for real I've been wanting to draw this for months. But never did because I had other shit to do. Which I still do #But. You know. Sometimes you need to draw a shitpost. It's ✨ self-care ✨ #And appearently One Piece shitpost comics have become the thing I draw for myself on occassion

I think webtoon is bad bc artists are forced to put out mass amounts of content a week and you can tell. 😐

#duck talks #sorry not sorry I'm the world's number 1 webtoon hater #you want me to read comics on my phone??? #i have a post sitting in my drafts from a while ago where i go on at length about what i don't lilt about webtoon #but i don't want to post it bc it's very ranty and rambly #okay but one more thing I'll say while I'm here. webtoons use csp assets or similar things sooo much and it looks soo bad #not all of them ofc but it's a byproduct of being made to make so much content in a short amount of time #so a lot of them do #ALSO. The story changes I've seen be made to webtoons that get selected to be originals make no sense to me so often. #i could give a few examples of this if ppl asked by generally just exaggerating the genre and convoluting the plot is what I've seen #Also. Why are webtoon originals required to be in color? (I mean I know WHY but also like. Why? Cmon.) #aaughhh. anyway.

DAVID TENNANT WAS AT THE GERMAN COMIC CON IN 2022???? LAST YEAR DAVID TENNANT WAS IN GERMANY?????

AND I MISSED IT?!?!?!?!?

#look i didn't know who he was last year so it's not my fault #but #AHHHHHHHH #please come to germany again i will pay all my money please!!!!!!!!! #like #i saw a video of him at Some comic con and then all of a sudden the people in the crowd and the guy with him on stage were talking german #and i ran to my bestie google to find out and #he was here Last Year ahdhchvfjdybdzdvdjdvfvfh i am not okay #raaaaahhhh #anyways #i'm chill now #i think #also i was at A comic con last year but it was not the one where he was #hngvdvdv #lea's random thoughts #david tennant #tw caps

[ashtonisvibing]

what noooooo i'm not looking at the bad egg website and suddenly panicking that the comic is ONLY going to be in pre order and once the pre order is done it's gone forever

#ashton is talking #it looks like there's just four different covers but it's both stories in one comic #okay tag bonus cuz i took a second to try and rationalize #i think it's just the alt covers that are pre order/limited #while the main one will remain in continuous stock #i dunno the whole pre order thing is just freaking me out dshjkdsfhjdfhj #cuz i've only got the chance of getting this for christmas #so like if all of them stop getting sold before november/december i'm shit out of luck #........ unless i try and ask my memere about it- #i dunno we just wait and see i guess-! #in other news relating to the altrverse comic it is a CRIME- #-that the only posters they're selling are of the marvin/jackie cover- #-or the marvin cover #where's my jackie poster-??? #how deep does the marvin bias go-??? (half joking)

Nuh uh uh *shakes my little finger* you will not get me Sonic franchise you will NOT get me invested into all this my dear buddy pal I've always enjoyed seeing you around but I will simply continue being a bystander just watching as it all goes by bcuz I know how it'll go if I actually get into all this

But also if I get bored I might get into it anyways it's mostly just a silly rule I put for myself cuz I know it would be a lot of work to catch up and I would prolly end up wanting to play some of the games if I got into the franchise but I'm not a gamer @ all so

#I say as my blog is primarily Splatoon related #I do play a lotta Splatoon ig but it's just cuz it's easy to pick up and play a few games plus I like the characters and art #I think if I started playing Sonic games it would take a lot longer for me to get thru a game #and if I don't just get thru it all in one night it might take me a while to get thru the game in general #plus how would I play the older games x_x thru an emulator ig but I'm more into official releases of games on their respective console #mostly just cuz it plays better or looks better #and also cuz I want more authentic experiences lmao I know I'm a nerd #anyway I'm just bein silly cuz I'm lookin @ a buncha Sonic stuff #don't even get me started on the comics man I never look @ the comics #and yeah I know One of the comic series is not to be talked about don't worry people make that point very clear lmao #in general tho not much of a comic reader either I enjoy how they look a lot but it's just a lotta work for me to read thru em #cuz I have to analyze like every single drawing and then try and voice the characters in my head #and then also remember wtf I just read #I'm one of those mfs who reads smth and just kinda forgets it the first time lmao #like how exactly does one read all the words in a sentence but literally none of the words stick LMAO #I've seen a few others who are like that tho at least so I know it isn't just me #literally Sonic's VA in Prime was doin that a lot while reading which made me feel very seen I enjoyed it #it's funny tho cuz someone reading to me while I'm also reading it makes it seem to stick a lot lot better #okay well this is getting into a totally different ramble abt the differences in learning I don't think I have enough room #to talk abt all that but like it's smth I did a lot when I was young where I would repeat what ppl wear saying in my head @ the same time #as them talking in order to just really understand what they were saying to me so while reading I gotta make up for it #by reading over it twice so that it sinks into my mind

[ask-burgys-tlm-aus]

doing storyline/comic styled qna was the worst idea i have ever done, cuz it fncking killed this qna blog 🤣😭

anyways, just posting here cuz I'm thinking of "rebranding" this qna blog where instead of just the roleswap au, it's a qna about all of my tlm AU (main characters)

will try to explain it more soon, but yeah, just a heads up lol

and yes, that means i won't continue that stupid axx comic styled qna i was trying to do but miserably failed. they're all just in a white void 🤣 i might just delete that cuz it just sucks and i hated it 😆

#burgy talks #look I'm bored okay 😆 #and i want to revive this blog so bad but i don't want to do that comic styled azz qna sh1t #anyways see you soon with an update #and yes I'm changing the name of the blog #I'll go sleep now

hey i want to talk about how you should be promoting your work as an erotic author/illustrator

i'm writing this up because the marketing aspect of my work as an erotic author/illustrator is a science to me, and also because i'm the guy who gets unreasonably annoyed when i see other creators not properly advertising their work. you presumably want to make money off your work. this post will be written under the assumption you want to make money off your work but are doing a bad job at it. it will be very confrontational. if you read this and feel attacked you're right and i am attacking you.

this is geared toward selling erotic comics/writing/books/art as products. i will probably write more than one post about this subject so if i didn't touch on something you want to know more about, comment/send me an ask and i'll keep it in mind for the next one.

i will start with my first and least specific but most important point:

DON'T GET FUCKING CUTE

hi are you paying attention. i'm gripping you by the sides of your face. do not get fucking cute with what you are trying to sell. you are not a big enough property to get cute, nobody LIKES it when big properties get cute, and you are selling porn. you have to own this. you have to be up front about this. don't be tongue in cheek, don't be all teehee i wonder what this could be~, don't be secretive. you are selling a product. you have to fucking act like it. you are an adult selling pornography to other adults. i am GRIPPING your HEAD you NEED to understand this.

and to be clear when i say 'cute' i mean coy. i don't mean cutesy, as in the aesthetic. you can be as hello kitty pastel ten emojis a post uwu as you like when you're building your audience and generating hype. but when you start trying to sell, don't be vague, don't be sarcastic, don't mislabel your work as a joke and assume everyone is on it. because they're not.

you must always assume 75% of the people seeing the thing you are advertising have no fucking idea who you are. and that includes a huge chunk of the people who already follow you. they do not know who you are or what you've been working on for two months or why they should care about it. they just got here. somebody just reposted it. they are seeing it for the first time. most people are only looking at social media for a tiny chunk of their day. they are not keeping up with you. you cannot get cute about what you are trying to sell because nobody knows what it is until you tell them.

okay are you still with me. we are going to talk about clarity now.

YOU GOTTA TELL ME WHAT IT IS

good lord the amount of times i have gone to buy somebody's comic or book and had no idea what's actually in it or what it's about. who are the characters? why should i care about them? what do they do in it? what is the premise of this thing you want me to spend $5 on? why would you not tell me? i'm shaking you again. please i have to know what i'm buying i only have so much money to spend on porn.

porn, arguably more than any other genre, relies on knowing exactly what is in it. you do not want to surprise your readers with a kink they were unaware of! and on the flip side, you do not want to miss out on your target audience! if your book contains a hot spider babe laying eggs in an elf, you have to say so. not just so people who don't want to read about eggs know it isn't for them, but so the people who are egg crazy can see that and go "oh fuck YES i love EGGS here is my $5 and an extra $2 tip for catering to me specifically". a contents/features list is as much an advertisement as it is a warning!

as for re: who the characters are and why should i care, i'm sorry but you need to learn how to write sales copy. you have to write blurbs. you have to get good at the shit that goes on the back of a book. we all hate it but we have to do it. i want to know who the characters are and what the context is. i, personally, am not interested in contemporary stories as much as fantasy and historical. please tell me what genre this porn exists in so i know if it aesthetically appeals to me. pull some books off your shelves and see how they do it. hell man go look at mine.

while you're there, note that every single book of mine has a sample of what's in it. this feels like such a no-brainer to me but again! the amount of times i have gone to buy somebody's work and they don't show me what their work looks like! you gotta give me the first page or two! just enough that i know if i like the way your writing sounds, or the way you draw your comics! i don't know you! i am not going to trust that you're good at what you do just based on a cover. the cover is to get me to this step, it is not the only step. you have to show me that you're worth spending my money on!

to put it less cynically, you want to catch my interest. you want me to go 'oh i want to see more of this', you want me to go 'ahh i want to know where this goes!' you need to get me invested and craving more. earn my $5!!!

YOU HAVE TO MAKE IT EASY TO GIVE YOU MONEY

hey go look at your bio right now. go look at your pinned post. do you have a link to your patreon there? do you have a link to your itchio/gumroad/whatever? do i have to click more than once to get to the places you want me to go to give you money? why? why are you making me click twice? have we learned nothing from every website making you click an extra time when they make some stupid UI update and how much it pisses us off? i have already given up, i have forgotten you, i am not giving you my $5 today. put your links in the easiest places to get to them.

god literally as i was writing this post i went to go find somebody's itchio to see how they described their work and it was not anywhere on their profile. grabbing you and shaking you PUT THE LINK WHERE I CAN FIND IT. don't make it hard! make it easy! i am a dickhead sitting on the toilet scrolling, saw your post, and was interested enough to read further. but you made me go to your bio to find your linktree and oops i have already gone back to my timeline to look at the boobies in the next post. stop wasting precious bio space on DNIs and put your fuckin links there!!!

this is more for the twitter people, but: just put the link in the damn post. just say the word commission. just say it's for patreon. "wuh wuh the algorithm" it is not the damn algorithm it's that everybody hates advertising and nobody wants to retweet ads. putting slashes in the words doesn't do anything and you look like a fool. i have posted so much art that says it's 'a commission for ___" and it did exactly as good as any other art despite having the word commission in it. and by doing the slashes you just made it impossible for anybody to search your account for your commission information (which should be at the VERY LEAST in a post under your pinned tweet if you're not actively posting about them being open).

okay that went on a tangent i'm going to back to the point of putting the link in the tweet. put it in the first post. not in the first reply. don't tell them to go to your bio. put it in the post people are actually going to share. it's fine to put more information in the thread but people are only ever going to share the first post. so put the link there. you have to make it easy. putting links in tweets can hurt you algorithmically, even in the replies. so you're better off having it in the post that actually gets seen and shared. i don't want to open the tweet and scroll to get to your sales page where i ASSUME you will have put all the information anyway. put it in the tweet that just got retweeted by itself onto my dash!

also you have to share it a ton of times. i repost my shit every few hours when i'm trying to push a new product. as i said before people are not 24/7 looking at their timelines. they missed it the first time. they missed it the second time. they didn't get paid yet that week but they were after the eighth time and you reminded them again so they finally bought it. that i will still get sales every time i repost a book ad weeks after release says there are always people who missed it, or who only just showed up.

abandon your pride and shill. shills pay their bills. anyone who gets annoyed about it isn't giving you money in the first place. don't worry about looking like a sell out. don't apologize for plugging your own work. post about it often, post about it in different ways. post about it. post about it. you are not going to make money if people don't know you have something to sell them. if you want to make a career out of it, you need to act like it.

I DON'T HAVE A FOURTH POINT

kisses your forehead. i'm sorry for yelling at you. i've been making and publishing and selling adult art for the past two-three years and have got myself to the point where it pays my rent, and i got there by paying attention to what does and does not work.

please do your best to make money. i want you to make money.

as i said above i plan to write more posts on this subject, such as cover design, how to actually write sales copy, and best practices with running a patreon, but if there's things you would want to hear more about leave a comment or send an ask! i will probably be less aggressive on future topics. these are just things that have grinded my gears for a grip.

hear me out….. okay reader is famous and meeting fans,, a fan is wearing a top with like charles or max or whoever’s face on it and reader spots it and is like “…who is that😮‍💨” and the fans tell her and shes like “please show me their instagram” and then she follows whoever the guy you choose on ig,,, but one of the fans was recording the whole interaction qnd the video goes viral as well as a screenshot of readers ig following their account <3333 you can ignore i just thought this would be a good giggle type fic and your fics are my fav for giggling <33333
