tumblr I swear to god if your ads on mobile keep opening popup webpages because my FINGER touched them while I was SCROLLING because they are SO BIG that they FILL THE SCREEN AS I SCROLL PAST THEM I am going to MANIFEST SNAKES IN YOUR WALLS

if the PAGE-FILLING ADS on your INFINITE SCROLLING MOBILE APP register FINGER MOVEMENT as ANYTHING OTHER THAN SCROLLING I am LEGALLY PERMITTED to HUNT YOU for SPORT

i think i tend to forget how good boredom is for creativity because we're all so addicted to numbing ourselves with screens and stimulation. but standing in the shower or going for a walk with no music or just sitting in your bedroom without being allowed to touch any screens & all of a sudden i have multiple new projects to start, a solution to a months-long plot problem & 4 new original characters

learning to notice an absence of people of color is crazy. you start seeing it everywhere. ill see a random pic of characters or people or whatever and be like "these are all white people. why"

all the babies in those baby youtube video memes. humanized character posts. like. its the little innocent shit. and like, the people making those baby memes probably arent seeking out white babies. maybe theyre just easier to find. but why are they easier to find? a complicated question, surely... but you know what it probably comes down to. someone, somewhere, maybe a lot of someones in a lot of places, made a choice. maybe knowingly, maybe not. but they made a choice. it starts to make you feel like a conspiracy theorist!!

its really funny that after 2 months this post is still making racists come into my askbox treating me like im a horrible person for pointing out that sometimes people of color are excluded from things in visible and offputting ways. cry about it

having the Aviation Accident Investigations Autism™️ has actually done wonders for the way I process and respond to my own fuck-ups

something you learn fast and necessarily when you get into the habit of writing is that you are riddled with blind assumptions, prejudices, unpractised rhetoric and all kinds of unchallenged cicada shell thoughts that were left stuck to your mode of being when bad ideas fled you. most people get to move through the world behind a kind of modesty veil that divides their internal thoughts from their external observations, but you have to take that off when you write. you have to suddenly present the whole world to itself nakedly, without the kindness of someone who can stop you mid-sentence and say "hold on, I know you, you can't possibly mean that". people are often scared to show their work to an editor in case the editor points out what they look like without their modesty veil, but god, christ, hell and heaven, you have to be more afraid of what the whole world of strangers will see if you don't let someone pick the cicada shells off you first.

the organisers of dashcon 2 asked me to give a talk there what the hell do i talk about i use this webbe site every day and have no clue what i'd say about it other than "yeah it's good it's the one that doesn't suck"

not to dwell on "The Game Last Night" but it's fascinating how Jimmy Beast seems to actively and uncritically want to be a diabolical torment nexus operator but is too genuinely incompetent to have any success or intrigue not reliant on the infinite money glitch of ad revenue from an audience of literal children

The most striking conclusion to me still is The Man Of The Beast outright asking actual competent video creators the question of "how do you create fandom". For one because it's an interesting question on its own that I could meander about for a while, analyzing what patterns in a creative work are compelling enough to create that specific means of collaborative engagement. For two because it's just incredibly funny to have it laid so bare that he just. Lacks The Sauce. there's literally Nothing to The Empire Of The Beast other than getting lucky from the infinite money glitch and the most shallow branding possible to stabilize the money glitch's feedback loop enough to somehow put ugly bulging plastic blue tigers on Target shelves because. the channel's pfp is a tiger. I guess.
