have seen some discussion re: the hazy backlight effect in animation lately & it's nice to see the classic 'invisible major kicks a guy in the face' background (3rd pic) is just sort of painted to look like that. anime backgrounds from this era really do have a certain je ne sais quoi
Went to Tokyo’s Ghost in the Shell exhibition. Special thanks to @liamwong.com for the recommendation.

OMELAS CHILDREN fuck you autocorrect. I hate the whole world so much. the epstein girls are the OMELAS CHILDREN of the usa & the implication is their suffering is what made the stock market boom, in the cosmology of Pam, is the observation or non-joke I was trying to make

also should be said, I keep reiterating the 'start with something short' advice but am also secretly jealous of the long webcomic ppl who manage to accumulate a sort of micro-fandom for their OCs then get cancelled on discord over something really dumb. there's a sort of passion to it all

might have a bit of a neuroticism going on re: the more I try to write things that fit a sort of conventional dramatic structure the further I move away from anything I've experienced irl & into drawing on other fiction as my main point of reference. & I guess this leads me to second guessing

this is such a hard thing to explain cause a lot of things that are Like This are technically good writing in the sense of being well-constructed narratives w clear character arcs etc & it seems like it's a thing where you either have a strong aversion to it or it barely registers as a problem
But when things being published are just handfuls of empty tropes, I feel like I'm not taking in someone's observed reality, but rather their third-hand account of something they heard once. It's like being on the very end of a game of telephone, and the message is dull, muffled, flat.
