Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Nick Clegg says asking artists for use permission would ‘kill’ the AI industry

Kazuko dressed in a cute witch type outfit. The skirt, shoes, and ribbons are a dark purple, while the rest is a balance of black and white. She is also holding a silly little star wand and a pumpkin bucket full of treats.

It's Monday, it's October, and that means more Yomi.

My short goth OC Yomi laying in The Pose while wearing a witch outfit, resting on a carved pumpkin and holding a broom between her feet. She looks at the viewer curiously.

Been a while since Vig showed up WAIT what's she wearing

My weird sharp-toothed OC Vig wearing a waitress/maid outfit of some description with a ragged apron, doing a pose pulled directly from the music video for Mesmerizer by 32ki.

Between Over the Garden Wall, Scooby-Doo, The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, and Courage the Cowardly Dog, I appreciate how many offerings Cartoon Network has for this time of year.

I know Shadow is in the middle because they’re matching the positioning of the rings, but this on top of the Year of Shadow and the Crossworlds short, yeah, feels like they’re pushing him a bit much.

Yeahhh I’m always happy to see Amy included in these things but they probably should have just used Jet or something

Pages 4-6 of my Sonic fancomic, Hedgehog With Attitude! Finally had time to get these done!

Five panel comic page of a Sonic fancomic.

PANEL 1: We see a scared Tails running across Green Hill Zone past other animal folks, including the squirrel, rabbit and a male pig. The Moto Bug is in hot pursuit, slashing its claws at him.
Squirrel: Hey, what’s the hurry?
Tails: SEE FOR YOURSELF!!
Rabbit: Is that a...?
Tails: KILLER ROBOT, YUP!!
Pig: Huh? Who’s that?! Why’d he bring that HERE?!
Tails: SORRY!!!

PANEL 2: The tall seal regards Tails, whose twin tails are spinning as he runs. Tails looks back with a calmer expression.
Seal: Whoa, you have two tails?
How are they doing that?
Tails: Oh well you see…

PANEL 3: The Moto Bug slashes at Tails who panics and runs even faster, his tails uncurling.
Tails: I’LL EXPLAIN LATER IF I SURVIVE!!

PANEL 4: Tails hits a dead end as he reaches the underside of a massive cliff and screeches to a halt.
Tails: Oh crumbs.

PANEL 5: Tails looks really nervous as the Moto Bug looms in, his tails wrapping around his legs.
Tails: Well this is it. I'm in pure unfiltered danger.
Right in the thick of the stuff.
So surely now…

Six panel comic page of a Sonic fancomic.

PANEL 1: Tails looks to the side, squinting his eyes. A question mark pops up by his head.

PANEL 2: He turns back and waves his arms as the Moto Bug gets closer.
Tails: Surely NOW?!!

PANEL 3: The Moto Bug erupts in a cloud of smoke with a visible "POOF!" as a blue ball smashes into it. A small, less anthropomorphic squirrel pops out of it.

PANEL 4: The small squirrel scurries away happily as Tails watches with narrowed eyes, pointing questioningly, beside the smoking wreckage of the Moto Bug.
Tails: What was that doing in there…?

PANEL 5: An offscreen voice chimes in as Tails looks up, wide-eyed and surprised.
Voice: Seems the Doc is up to his old tricks again. Kidnapping more critters and throwing them in those ‘bots.

PANEL 6: We see a seemingly blue hedgehog silhouetted, looking off into the distance with a serious expression.
Hedgehog: Ah well, it was getting boring around here anyway.

Six panel comic page of a Sonic fancomic.

PANEL 1: Tails approaches the hedgehog cautiously.
Tails: Um. Are you... uh...?

PANEL 2: The hedgehog steps into the light and we see him clearly and he appears to be Sonic. He is regarding Tails with a raised eyebrow.
Sonic: Huh? What is it, kid?
You're not hurt, are you?

PANEL 3: Tails looks bashful and doesn't return eye contact, pressing his pointer fingers together.
Tails: Not at all, thanks!
No I just, um...
I was wondering...

PANEL 4: Both Sonic and Tails are visible, an impatient-looking hedgehog looking down at the smaller fox who points at him curiously.
Tails: Are you Mr. Spikes?

PANEL 5: Sonic pulls up his arms and leg, coiling up ready to run off with an angry expression on his face. Tails desperately throws up his hands, sweating.
Sonic: I'm outta here
Tails: No, wait! Sorry! I got it wrong!
You're, uh, the Hero of South Island, right?

PANEL 6: Sonic raises his hands casually as he looks back at an excited Tails.
Sonic: I'm just a hedgehog who beat up some moustached goofball with delusions of grandeur.
But hey, you can call me that if you want.
Tails: Wow!!

shitting on younger generations is not a rite of passage, it's just a sign that you've failed to actually mature. it betrays an inability to accept change (the only constant in this world) and it makes you sound really fuckin annoying. you have to make your peace with time or you will be SO annoying
