Favorite hard character to draw (and fav character in general 😛)

isn't jpg, jpeg, pdf, or png

Is a file extension you don't recognise (this one is a visual basic file, used for scripting, but others like exe or bat are used)

has a very low or unexpected file size (this one's is less than 1KB, or 0.001MB, a good reference should be at least 500KB)

❗️ARTIST BEWARE❗️ New scam!! Person sent me a reference sheet file that turned out to be a script, my partner (in cybersecurity) found it to likely be an Info/Crypto Stealer and would steal all your passwords, and hides itself via windows scheduler DO NOT open VBS files

Accompanied by a screenshot of a conversation:

Scammer: [obscured text] reference now? Also, could you please tell me the approximate time it will take to complete the drawing? Artist: I've currently got a couple slots in my queue ahead of you, it should take about 3 weeks at MOST accounting for the wait time but its more likely to be started this week and finished next week. This also depends on what exactly you were looking to have done in terms of pose/expression Etc. Yep! You are welcome to send your references here Scammer: Okay, I've sent it now. [Attached File] Shork YCH_MyReference v1.vbs Scammer: If everything is in order, I can send the overpayment. Scammer: [in reply to their file attachment] How much would the full piece cost?

Hey.

The fascists don’t like NASA.

They don’t want stuff like this to happen.

They want to give NASA’s budget to the already bloated military.

As far as I’m concerned, it’s fine to celebrate a massive peaceful scientific achievement that’s a collaboration between the US and Canada space programs during a time when there’s so much bad news elsewhere.

but DO techbros like nasa? a lot of techbros i see are super into the idea of privatized space travel industry and colonizing mars, the first of which nasa is directly opposed to, and the second which nasa isn't really focused on.

The Artemis Accords are one of the first large-scale civil policies about space and related activities to come about since the Outer Space Treaty in 1967. NASA wants to hold people (at least a little) accountable for the junk they're leaving in our orbit, and not enough people talked about this shit back when it got signed, so I wanna talk about it now

I've been finding a lot of job postings that ask me for a photo lately, which is uncool of them.

So I made an image which lets me bypass their demand. I don't care if I get that particular job, I just want to shame the HR goons who thought the photo requirement was a good idea.

Two separate clips from two different 2019 livestreams of Michael Kovach (Jax's voice actor) and Ashley Nichols (Zooble's voice actor) resurfaced of them laughing and attempting to say "negative" in half which sounded like N-slur. In one of the chats of these streams, the creator Gooseworx typed it and encouraged them. All parties are white and were already grown adults at time.

Both apologized. It's reported that Gooseworx reacted horribly (She might have deleted her response since I can't find it.). One of their colleague Alex Rochen (Caine's voice actor) only vagueposted about the situation by resharing a post to his Bluesky that's "it's hard to call out longtime friends."

Also, the rest of the main voice cast have been quiet about the racism and most of them, in the past, collaborated with a music producer: Black Gryph0n, who is an alleged known groomer, (Met his wife when she was 14-15 and he was 20.) Marissa Lenti (Gangle's voice actor) is the only one currently who addressed the collaboration, but is silent about the racism.

So outside of the fandom's racist human portrayals, that happened.

So, what are y'all as the fans gonna do?

Are y'all gonna move a la the Parry Hotter fans, where you claim that you're "reclaiming" the characters from the creator? While still supporting the IP? Because "I just have such a history and connection with these characters"?

Are y'all gonna stop supporting altogether? At least until amends and reparations towards Black fans are offered and delivered? Is this where the line got crossed, no matter what? I say this because I feel like if this is what got dropped in 2019, there's probably a lot more going on that has been overlooked?

I guess it's time to see what happens, if overt antiblackness and grooming are enough to sacrifice entertainment. Let me clarify, if being exposed for being antiblack is enough to sacrifice entertainment. Because while I'm saying these things as if the choice is easy, you would not believe how many people would forgive this situation and fight to the death if these folks dropped a tearful half-apology to white viewership. White solidarity is a powerful son of a bitch!

i remembered i can actually post here
