#this man. in this economy????

[tshortik]

I love you messy artstyle i love you visible brush strokes I love you textures and rough edges I love you imperfections I love you roughness and colour blobs I love you scratchy sketches and bold stylisation and dirt and imperfections I love you ugly and raw emotion!!!!! ❤️

#i talk sometimes #art talk #i made a tweet like this on twatter ages ago but i've been feeling this a lot lately #also this is the start of me writing more on this blog and not only using it as art because who cares!! i don't!! #I wanna translate raw emotion into colors and shapes. I wanna know where to ignore all details and where to go ham you feel me? #i used to dream about developing a style like for MtG where it looked like a masterful oil painting that oozes realism and details #and i've realised the last two years or so that I would actually hate that for me. I know I wouldn't enjoy doing it. For myself. #it's that pipeline from wanting to be the perfect realistic wotc artist to accepting that I will never be that #instead i wanna learn how to stylise better and get a good brush economy going yknow. I wanna be bolder. #i doubt i'll ever be as incredible as all these MtG artists no matter what anyone says. but it's ok!! i don't have to be!!! #i just luv art man!!

*points to Tsumugi*

She’s just like me! For real for real!!!

There’s just something about drv3’s meta exploration of what fiction truly means that just scratches my brain the right way hahahahaha

Need to draw more pregame stuff!!!

#danganronpa #drv3 #tsumugi shirogane #shuichi saihara #kaede akamatsu #not tagging himiko because she’s literally in one (1) panel haha #This was the result of my crippling fiction addiction as of late :) #like err I was binging fanfics like a man obsessed I couldn’t stop eating! #Like I had to stop myself to start drawing hahaha #Anyways! Don’t do what I did and consume media in a healthy manner! Art and stories aren’t meant to be gorged upon! #they’re meant to be s a v o u r e d✨ #or at least that’s what I tell myself to stop demolishing all the fanfics in the tags #The economy is producing

Petition to let Spider-Man unapologetically mooch of the billionaires he seems to attract for reasons that are usually poorly explained

I’m fucking tired of people complaining that Tom holland’s Spider-Man isn’t as good because he keeps running to Tony Stark

I’m tired of both tv shows and fanfics making him too stubborn to accept any type of financial support from Harry

Are we still in this economy upholding the capitalistic and corrupted values that we need to make our own way and not accept hand outs

Peter magically attracts billionaires like flies to honey and we’re not cheering him on for taking their money?

Let 👏 Peter 👏 Parker 👏 take 👏 money 👏 form 👏 billionaires 👏

#look if you don’t like mcu spidey fine #if you think Peter’s reliance on Tony makes him weak fine #that’s not invalid #but let the boy take Tony’s money #let him take Harry’s money #in this economy? #we’re still pull yourself up by your bootstraps bullshit #let Peter Parker take money #peter parker #spider man #tony stark #irondad #harry osborn #Parksborn

Hi! Not naming any names because what's the point but:

1. Please at least ask artists before sticking their (FREELY SHARED?) work into your own fics or social media

2. I understand that "Lots of people do it", and "Eh the artist doesn't know its on the internet who cares" is not something I can actively do anything about

3. BUT. Understand that this makes me feel like you, and the fandom at large views artists (includes all creators tbh) as: content machines, not people with feelings, and generally disposable

4. In light of WGA and SAG striking because of literally this attitude, understand that all you're doing is ensuring most fandom artists/writers/giffers go behind walled off gardens. It happened in the LJ days and it can happen again.

5. This includes feeding ai work for "fic endings", and "art in this style". People will just stop posting eventually. I remember the internet before artists shared anything, and maybe you will too, if things go on like this.

TL;DR don't be a dick, fandom is supposed to be a fun space where we make up stuff and talk to other people about it.

Don't make it so people walk away and there isn't anybody to talk to anymore.

#fandom #fandom wank #im so tired man #like both literally and figuratively #we all do this in our spare time so that readers and lurkers can have fun in their spare time too #dont shit on a gift economy #there'll be no more gifts left #anyway #kthxbai #chatter #not art #cobra kai #lawrusso

imma be completely honest, i just checked out the watchertv website and i can absolutely see why they were so excited for it - without context, it looks so cool and i would be SO proud of them cos that's huge you know? and i can absolutely see how this has been something they've been aiming for (i remember both ryan & shane talking about how it's been their dream to create high-quality, tv-level productions at various points in time).

but as many have said, a huge issue was perhaps in the execution. assuming this was a set-in-stone end goal for them, much could still have been done to transition the audience gradually to this new platform. ofc, i acknowledge that hindsight is 20/20 but, well. i have to admit that some aspects of how this was executed were indeed quite tone-deaf.

THAT BEING SAID, while i absolutely understand that this tone-deafness could have been extremely hurtful, using this situation as an opportunity to be racist, to attack steven's religion, or to harrass their partners on their socials is completely out of line. this whole fiasco has revealed a startling & upsetting amount of toxicity that is colouring the entire fandom in a really bad light.

also, while i understand that steven being the sole CEO position does make him more responsible over such business decisions, i truly do not think that the "steven is the only villian, he's threatening R&S with a gun" narrative is warranted. as mentioned above, R&S have both expressed their dreams of making high-quality productions (nothing wrong with that btw) and they're also both still the co-founders & main faces of the platform. there's a much higher likelihood that they were both on board with this, and pinning all the blame on steven like this to protect and coddle your 'faves' is frankly a little embarrassing.

#watcher #watcher entertainment #shane madej #ryan bergara #steven lim #esp ppl who coddle shane - i adored him too but to say that he couldnt have been part of this bc he was always vehemently anti-capitalist? #please be fr hes a grown ass man and hes one of the key players in this company #also frankly it's virtually impossible to be truly anti-capitalist if you're running a company in today's economy #mine

Give it up for the little USB man!

i will say with my whole chest that i hate what is happening with music marketing right now. i hate that a song needs to be a tiktok trend. i hate that one album is being released in 23 ways to trick people into buying multiple albums because there are different covers and different photos inside. i hate that one album is being rereleased multiple times as deluxe and then the super deluxe and then super secret version with one additional song just to make the numbers!!!!!! i hate that people without vinyl players buy multiple vinyls of the same album just to own them and collect them. i know no one is making anyone buy multiple versions of the same fucking album by putting a gun to their head BUT COME ONNNNN its all about the money and people and just giving into that!!!!!!!!

#like i said. no one is making anyone do anything HOWEVER this is all a TRICK #7 different covers and 7 different covers of one album in the economy of undecided people #of course officially its so you can choose the onw you like the most #but truth is. there are thousands of people who will buy all the versions just to own them and they male the numbers #i HATE IT #with a burning passion #THIS IS NOT ABOUT TAYLOR SWIFT SPECIFICALLY BUT IT ALSO APPLIES #its brought to you by me working at a place where we (among other things) sell vinyls and a 12 year old bought 4 versions of one album #on vinyl and said with their whole chest they are doing it for tiktok views #LIKE DUDEEEEEEE #I KNOW THIS SOUNDS LIKE OLD MAN SHOUTING AT A CLOUD MEME BUT COME ON #I CAN NOT BE THE ONLY ONE WHO THINKS THIS AND I CRAVE TO TALK TO SOMEONE WHO THINKS THE SAME #tell me i am not crazy #music

you know what? we got the edizzy shirt sharing the wrong way round- ed is all limbs, a real twig of a man and izzy is built like a brick wall- if these two swapped shirts ed would be drowning and izzys would be obscenely tight

#it does not help that izzy already wears looser shirts ed would be able to fit like. two of him in there #i adore the hc that they share a wardrobe and thats why eds shirts are so small and izzys so big but like. #if they were swapped it would be even worse #actually. back on my silly shirt agenda put izzy in eds little purple top it would be good for the economy #that shirt would not hide an inch of that rack and it would be so short. #nyxtalks #ofmd #izzy hands #israel hands #edward teach #blackhands #edizzy #izzy being shorter doesnt mean he isnt solid. that man is dense and immovable #eds got these tiny ass hips he would drown in izzys shirts #i mean i still love the idea of them swapping i think ed would love to drown in izzys shirts #izzy would be stood there plotting to murder everyone. they are all distracted though. #izzys shirt Would be too short in the arms for ed though

When building a spear, what matters: you, building or the spear?

At the recent FSNNA conference (were you there? Did we meet? If you’ve been there, the panel recordings and the discussion space is still available for a week.), Katherine Crighton, Dr. Naomi Jacobs and Shivhan Szabo introduced an online game where you can create new fanworks for your blorbo for the newest fannish sensation: Blow the Man Down. The catch is, this fannish sensation is not a TV show. The story is reverse engineered through the fanworks created for it, but in a sense, it doesn’t exist. Your blorbo also doesn’t exist. My blorbo is real cool, though, their name is Bogdán.

When it comes to fannish creation, there are some key theories to reference. Participatory culture is one, we also talk about gift economy, affective labor; can they possibly explain why we are able to act fannishly when there isn’t even a canon to be fans of? Are we experiencing real feelings for a fake blorbo because we participated in their creation, committing to this silly man? Or is it because of the nature of the work, we used fannish practices to create them, which is inherently affective? Or is it, as the presentation already points out, due to the spear theory: we build our blorbo by piercing many blorbos through and that creates our type? I dare you; play the game and let us discuss our experiences. Or if you’ve ever gonched, what did you think of it?
