Besties can y'all take two seconds to think this situation through?

There are many ways to write good age regression rep but brain damage with chemical lobotomy is a HORRIBLE way to do it

Look I believe that anyone should get to make an au (or epilogue in this case) but if people say that an integral part of it is offensive then figure out how to not make it offensive. It is not impossible and it will help you get better at writing especially as a young writer

And also holy shit don't villainize the first person that voiced their concern ARE YOU NUTS??

Already said this on Bluesky but indie animation should be just as accessible and easily searched for like how indie games are

Cuz the difference between indie animation and games is that you have more chances of getting engagement and recognition with making a game even if you have less than a hundred followers

In indie animation, it's kinda sad that everyone talks about supporting them but only give recognition about the ones with 10k likes or people who have a history of going viral or made a meme

And people are more likely to buy a ton of merch when the artist is already a big name before making their animation

Another thing is in itch.io, all that's in it is condensed to indie games made by anyone. A game gets popular if the quality is good, not whether the developer is already known

In youtube, you have to actively look for it or be lucky to see a video from a niche animator in your dash. Searching for indie animation only shows the most popular ones too so it's not a big of a help

I dunno, all I'm saying is it shouldn't be this hard to gain traction for animation

And it isn't impossible either

Look at the channel ALTER. It is a channel with the purpose of compiling indie horror films, ALTER isn't a production team who makes the horror films but they allow other teams to submit their film so it can be given a platform

The same CAN and SHOULD be done with indie animation. Hell, we don't even have a site or platform for it to begin with

Games have one (itch.io), comics have some (tapas, webtoons etc), writing have one (AO3), even websites have a platform too (neocities)

Why can't we have that for indie animation where anyone can have a proper platform. It's not fair that only the popular accounts are taken seriously

Roger, the chefs, and the lady should pass around the bong

They should be little nightmare blunt rotation for all the work

it'd be really cool if everyone put their money where their mouths are and went and saw the new fully 2d animated looney tunes movie that's in theaters RIGHT NOW instead of continuing to scream about the snow white and lilo and stitch remakes

you guys LOVE theatrical 2d animation, right? you're utterly drained by the live action remake trend? you wanna at least try to participate in the effort to bring it back into the limelight in a non-anime context? here's your chance. go see "the day the earth blew up: a looney tunes movie" at your nearest theater.

guys wouldn't it be sooo funny if we not only saw this opening weekend but saw it again the day the snow white reboot released and out-grossed it. wouldnt that be so fucking funny. piss off WB corporate (who tried to can the movie like they did everything else) AND disney corporate. wouldnt that be funny

Do you have any recommendations for art references and or video's that might help me improve as an artist? Your art style is really inspiring to me and I'd love to get better at drawing because I haven't been on that grind recently of doing so!!!

Honestly your best bet is learning the RULES of art instead of the process, at least that's how I did it

I find it easier to NOT do the things that make it wrong than to learn ALL the things that make it good

There's like a million different ways to make art appealing but a lot of them typically avoid the same mistakes. It also makes the learning process customizable for you

To anyone else other than Gongus, I wanna say first that this post is heavily catered to cartoonier art styles but the links are for general art. I will also be laying down a lot of the things I learned from college (multimedia arts course)

Take that shouldn't be controversial but is treated as controversial: Children should not be allowed to be exposed to "games" that's powered by gambling no matter how cute or cartoony the characters are :/

white people please just purchase native artwork and jewelry from native people i keep seeing idiot white people be like “waaah i wish i could support native creators but its cultural appropriation” girl why would beaders sell you their earrings then. just dont get a medicine wheel or a thunderbird then like damn it is that easy

If Native folks are making it to sell to white people with the approval of their tribe, it’s not “appropriation”–its support and appreciation! So yes, buy that native-made dream catcher, but not the mass produced fakes made by white people. Like, you can go to a pow wow and buy native crafts there, too.

Black faith leaders have called for a 40-day "fast" from Target for Lent in response to their compliance with Trump's resegregation agenda.

Now this is an effective boycott. It is targeting (ha) a specific company with a clearly stated goal. The amount of time is long enough to be noticed, and could be extended if needed. Anything that can be purchased at Target can also be obtained elsewhere, so it is actually possible to boycott this specific company for a very long time. Target is caving to fascism and rolling back their diversity and inclusion policies. The goal is for them to reverse that decision. This is an achievable goal.

Boycotting everything all at once, for one day or for as long as you can, because everything is terrible and we’re mad about it…does nothing. It’s vague, disorganized, and frankly impossible. We have to buy things sometimes. You can’t just target the economy as a whole. You have to be specific.

If you want to start a boycott, use this one as an example. Choose one target. Provide one (simple, clear, easy to explain) reason why that company deserves to be boycotted. Explain what you want them to do differently. Make sure that it is something that can actually be done. Then tell people about it.
