Not to be unkind, but I am so impatient about the “what’s the point of making my little zines/comics/crafts/art when the world is on fire” sentiments. I get it, but saving the world is not a responsibility shouldered by your art! That’s what being a neighbor, a friend, and hell, a citizen is for!!!

Get in loser we’re creating honest sentimental art without a trace of irony and putting a piece of ourselves out into the world

Tbh It's actually okay to suck at stuff you enjoy doing. You don't have to gear into competition or be the absolute best. Existing and having fun is just as worthwhile. You don't have to make money off it. You don't have to get published. You can literally just create it, fail, learn, and make more

i feel like i've talked about this before but a fundamental survival skill for surviving fandom is learning to identify when the speaker is presenting a phd thesis vs. playing dolls.

did you enjoy creating it? did you have fun? does it make you happy thinking about it and sharing it? then that's it. you did it. you found the secret sauce. "was that a waste of time?" of course not, fuckface. expressing yourself creatively is always worthwhile. you're doing great

The Transformers fandom is gay and every time you complain about it we make 20+ more artworks of Optimus Prime bottoming.

Sight and Shadow Part 2: Those Eyes / This Man is Dead
MR-SN has always known how to see through DX-TR's disguises. Even death and resurrection can't change that.

Hey, I wrote a thing! Have some MR-SN and DX-TR (and a little bit of our favorite robot wizard in the background.) I promise part 2 won’t make it tragic at all 😉

Even if you do not create/consume/like NSFW media you must speak up for SWs and NSFW creators b/c the criminalizing and banning of it is just another step towards fascism. It will be used to target minority groups, LGBT, etc. and anything deemed "unsanitary" or "degenerate".

A reminder that fiction — books, film, games, what have you — is always political. The willful absence of “politics” in any work is itself a political choice and a political act. Who gets to tell (and sell) stories is political. It might be an undercurrent — covert, not overt. But it’s there.

To this end I propose the concept of Death Of The Audience — sometimes an artist must make something purely for themselves. Unburden yourself and find joy in the act of creation. Make your art with the intention of burying it in wet soil and never looking back to see if it sprouts.
