Christmas carol situation where a female version of you appears, accompanied by a ghost, and she's like "OH GOD. OH GOD SHE'S SO REPRESSED. PLEASE NO. WHAT AN AWFUL EXISTENCE. PLEASE TAKE ME HOME, SPECTER" and then disappears

Also here’s a random Aerti sketch

I learned MMD.... If Square Enix wont give me the FFVIII remake, then I will spend my time making Squall dance to the whole kpop catalogue....

This is for @egg24108 @iffylogic and @heartillycore and for all my wonderful ffviii fans!!!!! ♥♥♥♥♥♥

so my apartment building got a notice board to post fire alarm tests and maintenance announcements and such. the building is pretty well-maintained, so we rarely get notices. the board is big and grey and to think it would be empty like that 99% of the time was a bland boring sin i just couldn't bear, so i vandalized the corner of its empty canvas with a teeny tiny Guy

and within a few days, there was a sudden addition from my one of my neighbors along with a Bunch of thumbtacks. this was an unexpected, but welcome surprise!

well there was still so much space, i figured i'd add another crumb to the art hoard. i'd been playing genshin that day so i drew my favorite grandpa

and like clockwork, new art manifested!! this person is gonna grow to be a great artist i know it. the detail in those stones? hell yeah that's cool.

we're two weeks into it. more neighbors have joined in with their artwork. who knew there were so many artists in my building?? we're onto somethin great here i just know it.

update: ONE OF MY NEIGHBORS DREW VENTI TO GO WITH MY GENSHIN GRANDPA I'M —

WHO DID THIS

i am retaliating i NEED to know who did this

JOJO HAS ENTERED THE CHAT

This is what 'living in a community' is supposed to mean

Of course Joanne is an aphobe. Of fucking course. Perfect example of how the hatred of these people will not stop at trans people. Push over that first domino and every other marginalized group downstream will be affected.

Because I certainly do, and I love every single one of them and their work.

LONG POST AHEAD!!

Finally can post my pieces for the Dissidia Opera Omnia zine! For who that don't remember, or didn't know, Crystal Memoria is a zine made to appreciate the game Dissidia Opera Omnia, where we had a bunch of characters from almost all Final Fantasy series, and unfortunately was shut down on 2024...Thanks to everyone's collaboration, we managed to raise $1000 to donate to Able Gamers. So now I will show you what I've made.

In my first piece I wanted to draw my fav team to play in the game. Those beautiful women destroyed almost all bosses in the game, they were so much OP! I loved them, and I miss them...

My second piece is this one, some of the music squad! This one was really difficulty. I had so many thumbs, but none of them were good enough... But in the end I found a good composition for them, and an easy one, but it was finally made!

With those two pieces I wanted to show they interacting. Just in a Dissidia game I could see my fav characters talking with each other. Rinoa's LD with Yuna made me cry the first time I saw it. Love the scene where the monks do a competition, partners that I didn't saw coming, Selphie and the others doing a movie together and THE FUCKING WARRIOR OF LIGHT, the first Warrior of Light of the series, acting in the movie and taking it very serious. lol! There was so many other interactions that I wanted to see...

My sticker was of Lulu. We wanted to do the stickers like the emotes in game, so we picked up the characters that didn't had emotes. It was really fun doing this one. I am venturing myself in doing some stickers nowadays, and it was a good training! It turned out small, but as I said, I was training lol I still have a lot to learn.

And those are my pieces for the Collab that we did for the Zine, it was like a big poster with other characters painted by the other artists. Selphie and King for this one! Loved King charging his guns! I used them a lot too. Wanted to have more time and draw more characters for the collab, but I think I showed my appreciation for the game nonetheless!

Tried to draw more characters besides FFVIII, since it was Dissidia theme. I think for this I did a good job lol But still, I am a little guilty for not having draw Quistis lol It was also difficulty to put ideas into paper. I had so little time to do those, but I wanted to do more for this game...

But either way, I am really grateful and glad to have participated in this zine with a lot of other amazing artists! I learned so much that I tought I've really know, really helped me grow! I am really proud of our work! And I hope Dissidia can come back one day.

those of u who have made long-running webcomics… curious how much of the plot you had nailed down before you started… when I make things I usually just have the main points before I start drawing, but I’ve only made like single-arc stories lol

I had the load-bearing parts of the plot outlined but some of the connective tissue formed as I went.

Limit Break

Ao3 does not need an algorithm, you're just lazy

Ao3 does not need a 1-5 star rating system, you just want to bring down authors writing for FREE

Ao3 does not need automatic censorship, it is an archive, therefore anything can be posted

Writing or reading about something illegal does not mean the author nor the reader condones it, if that were true, you could never read a story involving anything negative

Purity culture is ruining fan culture and you all are fucking annoying

Feeling rough lately.

There's a quote from the AIDS epidemic I keep saying to myself, "Bury your friends in the morning, protest in the afternoon, and Dance all Night"

Don't feel guilty for creating beauty, for having moments where you laugh and feel good while the world falls apart around you. Because being miserable and consumed with the bad does no one any good. Dance all night to give yourself strength to bury your friends in the morning.

We will persevere. We will survive. And when it feels like you can't take another step, I'll hold your hand and take it with you.
