how I feel when I'm trying to convince people to give my webcomic, or even just webcomics generally a go

we gotta make liking niche weird stuff cool

AK Faulkner @ NYCC @poopraven.bsky.social · 15d

The homogenisation and consolidation of buisinesses and brands has led to the erosion of the midlist, the indie movie or band or comic. There's a real sense of "I'll only try media that's already popular / famous," and I'm begging you to look for the weird shit, the experimental, the niche.

As with most things, Kiah'a is pretty picky about his tail being touched. When he gets close enough to his partners, he will sometimes entwine their tails during sex though!

Fafnir's tail mostly gets in the way 😅 They might lightly smack a partner with it, but could seriously hurt if not careful.

B'alith Tia | 7.3 spoilers @inmyleylines.bsky.social · 3h

A NSFW #wolqotd for OCs with tails and/or who have tailed partners:

Do their tails get incorporated into sex or kink play? If so, what kinds of sensations do they like? Is it something they have to work up to, or are they freer/more permissive about new lovers touching their tail?

Fafnir is slightly taller than max height mRa (7' 3") and loves it. They like being the tallest and largest in a room - unless a Roe is around.

Fafnir and Hien stand next to each other. Fafnir has a hand up to keep the sun out of their eyes. Hien is looking at something to the right and pointing while Fafnir looks at him.

ao3 kudos emails are a beautiful reminder of how fandom is so everlasting. like, someone might read smth i wrote over a decade ago, rejoicing in a new fandom for the very first time, & i may have forgotten that singular joy, but someone will follow in my footsteps. and it's right there in my inbox.

Reading this anecdote and begging, BEGGING people who are not in creative fields to wrap their brains around the fact that figuring one's way through those stuck transitions *IS THE FUN PART*.

Juno Rylee Schultz @junoryleejournalism.com · 1d

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

uhhhh so I started playing Hollow Knight and my hand slipped

#IxiMakes #IxiArt

digital wip of a Hollow Knight-styled character, mix of black and sky blue lines. The character holds a jagged scythe and is draped in a cloak. He has a thin scar over his left eye and a jagged scar over his thorax.

Temporarily-coloured Hollow Knight character in pink and white shades resembling an orchid mantis. The colour pallet is labeled "this bug is some sorta pride flag".
