Hey y’all, I keep finding myself having my work reposted by larger gimmick accounts without attribution and wanted to put a reminder out there that all of these pieces are my original work. It’s mostly just a minor nuisance rather than serious infringement but it is getting a little tiresome
If you see them reposted don’t harass the original posters but do politely let me know so I can send a takedown notice or something (mainly big meme accounts, I don’t care much if it’s someone with like ten followers)
Art is my only source of income as I am disabled and currently do not have access to accessible and sustainable employment+not eligible for SSI, so having my work attributed correctly to me is a huge help to building an art career thats more livable for me
I plan to offer prints and maybe start a Patreon on the future so people have more tangible means of supporting me, but until then getting the word out there that this is my work would be really cool since these images have gone so viral. (I have a kofi tip jar as well, but don’t feel obligated!)
In case someone gets on my case for having not signed my work, all three of these are very early pieces of mine and I didn’t really expect them to get so much attention and by the time they took off it was a bit too late to put the genie back in the bottle lmao. Very hindsight is 20/20 sort of thing… that and I’ve had a couple instances of my signatures getting cropped or edited out anyway 🤷♂️
“i’m not the same as who i was before [x] thing happened to me” does it help to know that you would not have stayed that person regardless
added a graphic to elaborate on the specifics of what i’m trying to say.
basically, everybody changes all the time for all sorts of reasons. don’t let the myth of static selfhood trick you into thinking you’re unworthy. the only way to go is forward, which would be the case no matter what, and that’s okay.
For those not tapped into Australian politics, King Charles is in Australia to conduct his “historic first tour to the commonwealth realm” i.e visting countries that King Charles is supposedly a monarch to.
Indigenous senator Lidia Thorpe had requested an audience with King Charles for weeks prior to this visit, she wrote countless letters to speak to him. Unlike other commonwealth nations and other former Brisitish colonies, a treaty with Indigenous peoples in Australia was never formed. Their land was never ceded to the British Crown. After being denied and ignored, Lidia Thorpe, draped in a traditional possum skin cloak, stormed in the Great Hall during the reception for Charles at Parliament House in the capital shouting the following:
I literally can’t even look at these photos without getting goosebumps.

It’s easy to think “nobody in the whole wide world cares about me” on an empty stomach but try doing it while eating Vegetables and Rice. Seems less convincing now doesn’t it? That’s simply the power of Vegetables and Rice..
I just got a wild and long ask about Character AI and my only comment is that I still hate generative AI with a burning passion. It’s bad for the environment (Generative AI uses a LOT of power and water to run), trained on stolen data from artists/writers without their consent to make cheap knockoffs, and isn’t as fun as bothering my best friend to roleplay some stupid characters in our DMs.
While on the subject of Character AI, I’ve seen people make AI bots based on me. I do NOT consent to have ANY bots made to imitate me or any of my characters. There are no exceptions to this rule, I will report these bots and get them taken down. It makes me incredibly uncomfortable that people are making bots based on me and my personality. I’m a real person. Please treat me like one.

some of the best writing advice I’ve ever received: always put the punch line at the end of the sentence.
it doesn’t have to be a “punch line” as in the end of a joke. It could be the part that punches you in the gut. The most exciting, juicy, shocking info goes at the end of the sentence. Two different examples that show the difference it makes:
doing it wrong:
She saw her brother’s dead body when she caught the smell of something rotting, thought it was coming from the fridge, and followed it into the kitchen.
doing it right:
Catching the smell of something rotten wafting from the kitchen—probably from the fridge, she thought—she followed the smell into the kitchen, and saw her brother’s dead body.
Periods are where you stop to process the sentence. Put the dead body at the start of the sentence and by the time you reach the end of the sentence, you’ve piled a whole kitchen and a weird fridge smell on top of it, and THEN you have to process the body, and it’s buried so much it barely has an impact. Put the dead body at the end, and it’s like an emotional exclamation point. Everything’s normal and then BAM, her brother’s dead.
This rule doesn’t just apply to sentences: structuring lists or paragraphs like this, by putting the important info at the end, increases their punch too. It’s why in tropes like Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking or Bread, Eggs, Milk, Squick, the odd item out comes at the end of the list.
Subverting this rule can also be used to manipulate reader’s emotional reactions or tell them how shocking they SHOULD find a piece of information in the context of a story. For example, a more conventional sentence that follows this rule:
She opened the pantry door, looking for a jar of grape jelly, but the view of the shelves was blocked by a ghost.
Oh! There’s a ghost! That’s shocking! Probably the character in our sentence doesn’t even care about the jelly anymore because the spirit of a dead person has suddenly appeared inside her pantry, and that’s obviously a much higher priority. But, subvert the rule:
She opened the pantry door, found a ghost blocking her view of the shelves, and couldn’t see past it to where the grape jelly was supposed to be.
Because the ghost is in the middle of the sentence, it’s presented like it’s a mere shelf-blocking pest, and thus less important than the REAL goal of this sentence: the grape jelly. The ghost is diminished, and now you get the impression that the character is probably not too surprised by ghosts in her pantry. Maybe it lives there. Maybe she sees a dozen ghosts a day. In any case, it’s not a big deal. Even though both sentences convey the exact same information, they set up the reader to regard the presence of ghosts very differently in this story.

I woke up with this idea for a cosmology that I might could write about:
God is a plagiarist
A little like the gnostic idea of there being a hidden God and a malevolent God , but it’s the the hidden God that made everything, and the malevolent God is the one that’s been hanging around humanity the last dozen millenia.
Hidden God made the universe, created the stars and the darkness, the land and the sea, the plants, animals, and humans. The celestial spheres where set in motion by them, and then they went away. To create more elsewhere? Maybe, probably. But they’re not around anymore. They left our plant and species to fend for ourselves, knowing we’d manage with the gifts* they gave us.
And then another God showed up to the unsupervised earth and started yelling at prophets, telling them He made the universe and everybody needs to worship him. He’s the one who came up with the garden of eden story, who wrote the 10 commandments, who eventually sent Jesus to bring salvation to humanity.
But he lied. He didn’t make us. He may be a God with all the powers that implies, but he just showed up to a bunch of hairless apes who were wondering where they came from and yelled “oh I did it. I’m your daddy, I made you all!”
I dunno what to do with this story idea. I’m not sure where it could go at the moment. I’ll have to let it stew a while.
* the unique gifts of Homo Sapiens Sapiens are not “intelligence” and “wisdom” as some might assume, but are canonically “cooking”, “baseball”, and “walking for a long time**”
** my phone wanted to say the third one is “butt boy”. No…
finally some good fucking salt over thomas eddison on this site
it’s also not even HIS money, it’s his father’s money, made from apartheid emerald mining. that money was made from the blood and suffering of countless poor people of color so the rich could wear pretty rocks.
elon musk has never done or made anything valuable or worthwhile in his life.
Oh my gosh. I just found this website that walks you though creating a believable society. It breaks each facet down into individual questions and makes it so simple! It seems really helpful for worldbuilding!
Heads up that this is a very extensive questionnaire and might be daunting to a lot of writers (myself included). That being said, it is also an amazing questionnaire and I will definitely be using it (or at the very least, some of it).
There is a certain point where it becomes “I turn right at the place where I turn right, then take the shortcut which I know about, then left where I turn left. Yes, I’m sure all of these things have proper names but I don’t recall what they are. The only landmarks I remember are places which were torn down decades ago.”
Saw this on Twitter and I obligatory need to share it
So she actually said that she does not see the appeal in Senshi at all and that the panty shots weren’t intended to be horny - she just has a neighbor who looks kind of like him and does laundry in his underwear. Which she finds kind of weird and offputting, and put into his character to be funny.
But that’s the thing. She doesn’t exaggerate or grotesqueify or alter people’s bodies to fit some standard. (Except insofar as she draws different species differently, and those are exquisitely practiced to ensure they have the same diversity of appearances that humans do.) She just presents people exactly as they are, complexities and oddities and all.
It just so happens that when you present people exactly as they are, what you present will be beautiful and alluring to many. Even the things you yourself might find weird and offputting. Honestly I think it’s a touching example of how you don’t have to see the beauty in everyone for the beauty to be there, simple honesty is enough to let the wonder of people’s humanity shine through.
