Somehow I managed to create an accurate depiction of what ego death looks like without even trying

Saw this adorable French animation ad and I had to share it over here! The style looks familiar but I can’t my finger on what group it is. Any ideas?

I don't want to be a boy or a girl.
I want to be a fairy.

I have a question for the Asian folks on this site. A lot of my worldbuilding is heavily inspired by east Asian cultures. What are things I should keep in mind to make sure that my inspiration is as respectful as possible to those cultures?

I released a zine: Looking at Writing Black Characters!

Rather than being a guide on Writing Black Characters, it's a reflection on those guides, popular media, discourse, and has some tips here and there.

Created Media Essay Zine Jam. Thanks for hosting!

I have a passion for wanting to know about different languages, and if I was able to get my ADHD under control, I'd probably be a polyglot at this point. There is no better way of understanding a person's culture than learning to speak the words they were raised on.

I think corporations actively trying to turn everyone into money-bleeding, borderline hikikomori. All anyone does anymore consume media and make media for the sole purpose of grabbing as many people's tiny attention spans as possible.

Research notes are very old, apologies if they’re hard to read

This is a “hei-xu”, which means “dragon person” in their language. They look like elf children, fly like birds of prey, and most strange of all, their bodies consists of incredibly tough minerals and crystals.

I've been going on an expedition that resides outside of planet Earth, and I've found a cluster of planets that have a rich, interconnect history with each other. While I'm here, I'm going to document my findings for the world to see. I'm excited to show you all what I've found!

This reminds me so much of 80s anime. Love it!

I'm a straight guy, and I've never had any issue complimenting a woman I've found attractive. They usually highly appreciate it when I compliment her outfit or ask where she got her nails done.

...The issue is that cis men only think to compliment the body, saying anything else would be "gay".
Cis men act like they're not allowed to compliment women, which is wild to me. I love complimenting women. It's actually pretty simple when you’re like, a good person.

Don’t be predatory or make it transactional and actually care about the human being you're interrupting.
