If you haven't already heard of it, I implore you to check out Epic The Musical by Jorge Rivera-Herrans. From the musical artistry, storytelling, vocal performances, and acting, Jorge Rivera-Herrans has it all. It is truly one of the best pieces of art that I have ever experienced. The emotions that it invokes are truly something that needs to be experienced. The Underworld Saga just dropped today, so check it out!

I had a tattoo client ask if I ever used AI to design tattoos for me. Man I spent the better part of a decade doing shitty bit work as a graphic designer and now that I have the space to do whatever I want, I'm gonna let the computer generate random garbage for me? What next should I have a computer that eats my dinner and fucks my wife?

Alright, to ao3's soon to be arriving Wattpad Refugees, a basic guide to general user culture:

1.) Unlike Wattpads vote system that let's you like each chapter, the ao3 equivalent kudos only allows one per work. Everyone is generally quietly annoyed about this. To engage with each chapter, you're heavily encouraged to comment. Trust me, it makes people's day.

2.) Ao3 has no algorithm. By default it's latest updated work first. You can find things to your taste through searches, filters and tags.

3.) 'No archive warnings apply' and 'user has chosen not to use archive warnings' mean two very different things. No archives warnings means the work is free from any content that could require a warning tag (character death, graphic depictions of violence, non-con, etc). User has chosen not to use archive warnings means it could contain any of the warning content, be it hasn't been explicitly tagged. Treat it like an allergen. No archive warnings apply is allergen free. User has chosen not to use archive warnings, may contain traces or whole chunks of the allergen. If you're likely to have a bad reaction, maybe don't take the risk.

4.) Speaking of warnings, ao3 has very few restrictions on the type of work that's allowed. Whatever your personal thoughts or feelings on that are, thats how the site is. You're likely to run across some dark subject matters and a lot of people are uncomfortable with reading that. You're well within your rights not like these works and have your opinion on whether they should be allowed, but harassing the authors of such works (or any works) is more likely to come back on you than them. Ao3 operates on a strong policy of 'don't like, don't read'. Use the tagging system to your full advantage to only engage with the kind of works you want to see.

We look forward to welcoming you all and seeing the fantastic works you create. Happy writing!

Asking some writers/artists I follow:

Is there anything in your fic/comic that you as the author know about, but won't end up in the actual story?

Oh god yeah

All of my comics are purposefully cherry picked from the Lore Document because i think doing full detail comic is BORING and i only wanna draw the stuff i want to and that’s fun!

For specifics: I had Leo mention in Reassurance that Mikey is training with Draxum and Raph is “making himself small”. I REALLY REALLY don’t wanna draw comics about that because unfortunately Raph and Mikey don’t scratch my brain enough and I don’t ever wanna force myself to draw shit i dont wanna

But Mikey is learning a LOT of magic and dealing w his own mental issues and Raph is dealing with his mental issues in a Bad Way

The other thing is the state of new york and its political climate.

Fallout is relevant again so I’m bringing back the OCs

(I hope its ok i posted this? ^^')

Hello, I was wondering if you’ll ever meet revisiting “Walls and Holes” by any point. Your writing is phenomenal! Sorry if you’re already made a post about this topic, I may not have seen it. Have a great day! 🤍

You coming into my DMs in 2024 and uttering that name was like a ghost floating up to me and telling me my social security and bank number

The finale was awesome! You clearly put a ton of work into it and it shows.

I’m curious about your inspiration for this story. What made you think to place demon clown possession in a Wild West setting?

Hi again from November:

I get a lot of questions (good and bad) about Constance being a clown. The answer to this question is not the least bit clever but can be boiled down to: christianity is a joke

Hello hi!!! Ive just read like all your rottmnt comics and I'm obsessed? The coloring and artstyle and overall structure of them is INSANE. Absolutely stunning. And Donnie and Timothy are just adorable they have such a sweet bond. I love how you write them. I hope youre having a good time right now, and that youre going to stay inspired and happy!! And sorry If Im bothering you. I need to check out your not-turtle-stuff now. If I had the cash I would give you like a bazillion dollars right now on patreon. Goodnight!

HIIII THIS IS FROM NOVEMBER

On my hands and knees, genuinely appreciate your kind words….

I love my Rise comics, i hope i can keep up the energy for them. I have learned so much about my art in the process of making them, and I have SO MUCH PLANNED… but for now, I’m taking it one step at a time, and I’m gonna get Greenline finished and up!

PLEASE if you like my art, I have a patreon where i post EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. As well as a ko-fi and an etsy with stickers and I’ve just finished my thesis film which will be released on my Patreon with stickers!!

This question about the finied comic of Timothy's.... " friends " what was their reaction when they found out the project ended up signed with Timothy's name?

Am a person who loves revenge stories so 👌👀

UHHH I HAVEN’T THOUGHT ABOUT THIS AT ALL. I want to say something interesting like Natalie starts plotting a revenge scheme, or smthn, but I just don’t think she has the spine for it.

Duuuuude, you gotta check the "Timatello" tag on the search of Tumblr. Like just directly, you're like... saint of this or something. You should absolutely check it, multiple people have done stuff insoired by you, it's kinda cool.

I am absolutely thrilled by this but I am scared that other people will have done something more cool and interesting then me so I will simply let it come to me naturally

Ur art is so cool. There's something about it i can only describe as meticulous? Like its very purposeful

Thank you that’s really nice of you to say

Pine I'm making my own rise version of Timothy.. I think we as a collective fandom should draw more rise versions of him in general like ppl do with Usagi

I was going to say I agree but then….

You’re not gonna believe this

I have legitimate thoughts on Timothy The Pulverizer being in rise but rn its just. Tim is 6'0 in tmnt 2012 it'd be funny if Donnie shot up like a beanpole and outgrew him

My sister isn't into tmnt (tho I have tried) but she found your Timothy comics and is obsessed and she was absolutely gushing about them

This is the power timothy has
