can't it even be more obvious thomas. why are you surprised that a sudrian historical site filled to the brim with armor and weaponry that dates back to the middle ages has old people afflicted with the gold dust working around the castle

#thomas the tank engine #thomas and friends #ttte glynn #ttte millie #ttte stephen #casa tidmouth #senjart #MORE OF LADY'S EXPERIMENTS GONE WRONG #WHO UP ULFSTEADING THEIR CASTLE #stuff for the kotr arc of casa tidmouth. now this is where gold dust has historical significance #going crazy right now. my friends are influencing me #I had 12 tabs opened just to draw young glynn's armor. they dont have plated armory in the 10th century!!!! only mails!!!!!!#(looking at you KOTR intro)#I remember reading some inputs on my 1k milestone poll and saw someone put ''the misery of growing old'' and honestly. Checks out #glynn's eyes are goldish brown because well. that's the perks of being the first bearer of the gold dust horrors #lady during 989 AD do not know anything about human thoughts and ethics and emotions. she was literally freestyling that!!!!!#Oh a wounded soldier on the verge of death. what if I *dumps 200 kg of gold dust on him* yeah that'll do the trick.#then she saw how glynn aged so so slowly and went Oh well I messed up. Good thing there are lots of other sudrians here #funny coincidence that young cstm glynn's helmet resembles canon glynn's funnel #I wanted to make millie's design resemble a tour guide more with her scarf and more stylish than usual tie #shes so pretty. I'm so proud of her design #(AND I REALIZED TOO LATE THAT HER TIE HAS THE COLORS OF THE FRENCH FLAG)#<--- said the guy who has beef with the french #stephen's crown is translated to a hat decor! was about to draw a top hat but whatever just imagine he has a collection of various hats #that he can put his crown on #also I want to give him that cool hip-with-the-kids I-am-still-young-at-heart energy #sir robert norramby is balling in the background.#hope you enjoy..... won't be able to draw as much from now on but I'm excited #also whos ready for old man yaoi........... 2!!!!!!

<;--previous ... Reunion gets fucked up by the hell portal

#hoof draws #replacement ingo au #AUGH .. only one comic left #i'm almost done with this brainworm i swear #-->also. for added context (how i'm imagining this #arceus granted ingo the ability to return home whenever he asks but he immediately got concussed in hisui and forgot #.and accidentally activated the un-eeby portal #.realistically probably not the first time he's verbally expressed the want to go home but #i think it's funny when literally every plot point runs off of a misunderstanding/coincidence

no but listen, rachel has truly embodied herself as persephone because she's constantly trying to "distance herself" from her past as a medical fetish artist but then keeps the name that's affiliated with her medical fetish art-

Like, I can't believe I never noticed it before tbh, but that was the thought that hit me while I was explaining to someone on reddit what the name "used bandaid" meant and why it was weird that Rachel is STILL using it on her print cover books, even now when she just recently set up a new Facebook account with her REAL NAME and not the used_bandaid penname (I feel like this is an attempt to "legitimize" herself in the industry but idk).

But that leads me into talking about how she keeps lying about LO being her first webcomic project and that really pisses me off. And yes, this is related to the used_bandaid thing, just bear with me here.

A lot of my contempt for this is for reasons that go beyond her, I just hate the notion that people should succeed on their "first try" and that's an idea that's often sold by people like Rachel who spin these grandiose stories of how they were just "trying it out" and suddenly wham! Fame and fortune! You can achieve all this and more if you just xyz!

Literally, in every interview I've found over the past couple years, she always heavily implies that LO was her "first attempt", that she had never used Webtoons prior to LO, and that she was just "dipping her toes" into the medium. None of this is true, she's literally been drawing webcomics since the early 2000's (possibly earlier but the earliest documentation we can find is of The Doctor Pepper Show), LO wasn't even her first webcomic on the Webtoons platform (that goes to The Doctor Foxglove Show which she ended up dumping a chapter in to work on LO almost immediately after starting it on Tumblr) and as much as she'll claim she "couldn't pay anyone to look at her work", she had landed a number of gigs that got her work out there, had been printed in anthology collections, and IIRC she had even won some small local NZ awards for her comics prior to LO. Shit, there was a local beer brand that had her art on its labelling.

But it really feels like she's trying her damn hardest to hide all that, never mentioning or implying that she did anything prior to LO, that she was just a "struggling graphic artist working in retail" until LO happened.

So why keep the penname that's directly affiliated with that past identity ??

It boggles my mind, honestly, especially considering she had gone by MULTIPLE usernames back then, some of which were actually pretty sane that she could have used instead (such as Rach Alex, which she uses in her FB groups, and Rachel Royale).

I wouldn't blame her if she was trying to hide her old medical fetish stuff, whether she didn't want it affiliated with her new LO branding or if she's just embarrassed by it, I can totally empathize with that because god knows I wouldn't be all that proud to show off the cringy shit I got up to during my early days on the Internet. But if she IS embarrassed by it, you'd think the last thing she'd want to keep is the name that's directly affiliated with the thing she's embarrassed by. Almost like a certain pink protagonist who goes by the name she earned after doing the thing she doesn't want to talk about.

But if she ISN'T embarrassed by it, then why lie?

Why paint this picture that LO was a one hit wonder, that she lived on "struggle street" until she found fame and fortune on Webtoons?

Oh right. Because it's a better story.

Because it's way more romantic to be some struggling indie darling who "came from nothing" and achieved fame through one big idea. Because it looks good for the platform who's trying to attract people to their app and website on the promise that you, too, can be a success story simply because you followed the exact same perceived steps that you saw another person follow and advertise.

If you can't tell from my tone, I really fucking hate this kind of disingenuous wish fulfillment advertising. It's manipulative, it's cruel, and it sets people up with expectations far beyond their scope of reaching, both due to the luck and "being in the right place at the right time" involved at best (which is a HUGE factor in stories like these that people never talk about), or through joy-killing comparison at worst when you don't achieve worldwide fame on your first try and wonder why everyone else did (spoiler: they didn't, they just want you to think that because it makes for better headlines and it gets you using whatever product they're affiliated with.)

If Rachel doesn't want to be tied down to her past, that's fine. But it's incredibly irresponsible and flat out cruel to lie about that past existing at all because it sets a horrible precedent to those who look up to her and want what she has.

And I say all that because I've seen what happens to the people starting out who admire these creators who painted the picture that they were just successful right off the bat. It's not a fun headspace to be in, it's robbed many creators like myself and others of their joy in creating, and it's really all just a ploy to get you to spend time and money and energy on a stupid corporate phone app that profits off your emotional investment and labor. Don't fall for it. Pretending like the Act of Wrath didn't happen doesn't remove it from history.

Anyways, I was gonna leave it at that, but then I ended up doing another rabbithole deep dive through her Wayback Machine and found album art she had illustrated for NZ band PorcelainToy. Enjoy this piece of her "dark era" art that still exists without needing to use the Wayback Machine.

youtube

#sorry btw if this seems like a sequel to the post i just made i stg they're not related #this post was written at like 4 am after doing another hyperfixated deep dive #so it's literally just an unfortunate but funny coincidence that it came right after me talking about my own roots LOL #i gotta go to bed i'm getting stabbed with ink tomorrow #lore olympus critical #lo critical #antiloreolympus #anti lore olympus #Youtube

Suuuuuuch a fan of Nancy's hair actually being naturally curly idc if she actually had straight hair for the first two seasons. She was actually straightening it during that time. Nancy told me herself.

#its actually so so funny how the wheelers always have their hair well kept and styled #suddenly remembering karen in her literal nightgown and her hair. perfectly styles. who tf goes to sleep like that #i mean its INTENTIONAL dont get me wrong. we dont see this with other characters #theyre never actually seen as who they are. its just a performance #which is WHY nancy 'goody two shoes suburban princess' was straightening her hair for 2 seasons #the more she becomes herself the curlier her hair gets 😌😌😌😌😌😌😌😌#I DONT CARE THAT THIS IS NOT CANON ITS CANON IN MY HEART !#mike and holly get their floofy straight hair from karen #ted has curly hair like nancy he just styles and gels it into that 80s Just Another Guy Look tm and keeps it short #in fact thats where nancy learned to keep her hair stick straight. internalized curl shame smh.#we never see ted with his hair unstyled. even when hes asleep. coincidence??? I THINK NOT!#misc #actually upon more research i realized mikes hair is a lil wavy so id say hes between karen and ted. its mafematics luv #genuinely cannot tell if mikes hair in s4 is natural or if its once again another style #but im airing on the side of natural your honor

I get why people want redeemed Ankarna because it's, like, the same arc we had with Cassandra in Sophomore Year, but since that's the same arc we had with Cassandra in Sophomore Year hear me out:

Ankarna and Paladin Fig are connecting. They're getting along, walking side-by side, everything is swell. But Ankarna is still infernal. Nothings happening. A bunch of stuff happened when Kristen redeemed the Nightmare King and turned him back into Cassandra, right? Fig is confused. Ankarna says she may know what's happening.

"You're trying to atone me..."

#dimension 20 #ankarna #figeroth faeth #yes I realize I'm basically saying we already did that so let's do this OTHER past BLeeM thing instead #but I do legit feel like it'd fit the themes here and like this is literally the direct sequel to Sophomore Year #besides I would watch Calamity redone a million times it's literally perfect #like maybe actually a pretty strong contender for my favorite work of fiction ever #I named my OC Calamity that long before getting into BLeeM but it's a funny coincidence

#this hbomb video dropping the same week i read a fic that had a bit SUSPICIOUSLY CLOSE to one of my old clemvi comics :)#dialogue halfheartedly edited and still in the exact same order of delivery. too similar to be a coincidence of ideas #felt ... not good.. reading it :(#compared to me looking forward to finally reading a fic that the writer came to me and asked if they could adapt some of my ideas for :)#just goes to show the difference that literally just asking can make #im not gonna say what fic it is im just talking on my blog ok but the timing makes me :) i feel a little better now #whats funny is that i wrote the dialogue the way i did to condense the idea down into a 2 page comic. you couldve expanded on it...#like just ask!!! im not posting on the internet just to scream into the void ya know like i actually like sharing and talking about stuff #it speaks

so much untapped comedic potential in aria’s propaganda idol career & continued smuggler idol fame

#friends at the table #f@tt #counter/weight #aria joie #aria as always my outlet for cutegirl art. usually i like weirder stuff but when she does it its character analysis its a statement its camp #shes soooo funny ive been obsessed w her lately. perfect character #been thinking abt the chime & aria in particular. how theyre all still explicitly owned n defined by systems that have nothing 2 do w #their lives anymore. & how aria the performer + brand was literally engineered thru years of pr & training w a particular function in mind #& the fact that shes also a person who believed in that once is almost a coincidence #every1 in the chime is more of a discarded tool than audy whos a literal rogue robot genuinely losing my mind over this .#come rotate them in ur minds w me its nice in here

my mum picking me up this morning: you're not as hungover as i thought you'd be

me, just yacked in an alleyway: yeah haha

#it's 3pm now and i still cant believe that happened that was. an experience #basically my mate's 21st coincided with her sister's 30th so they both had this big joint Event last night #where they literally rented out a farm house and the field nearby and set up a whole campsite and barbeque and everything #it was really random but also really good esp bc ive been friends with this girl since we were super young #and our mums were friends so ive just got. lots of connections to her family and it was nice seeing them all again #but there was fully like 60 people at this thing and i DID drink more than i meant to but i wasn't paralytic which is good #and my hangover ISNT that bad in terms of how bad my hangovers can get #it's just that my mate's dad picked us both up at 9am this morning which was already going to be... rough #and then proceeded to do the bumpiest drive down the country lanes ive ever experienced #i was literally grinding my teeth like i am NOT about to throw up in this man's car please if there is a god do not let me throw up #and i didn't! my mum picked me up from this (thankfully very quiet) road that has this rickety old alley coming off it #and i had the very humbling moment of 'im actually going to be sick aren't i' and had to WAIT FOR AN OLD WOMAN #TO FUCKING MEANDER OUT OF THE ALLEY AND WALK FAR AWAY ENOUGH FOR ME TO AT LEAST HAVE A SHRED OF DIGNITY #and proceeded to throw up. in a public alleyway. at 9:30am on a sunday. so of course i needed to tell you guys about it #im now force feeding myself garlic bread. im going to manchester tomorrow. i have a flight at the crack of dawn on tuesday #what is even going on anymore #also fully did just do nos last night with some 30 year olds. i cannot express how fucking odd a thing that is for me to do #actually no i can express it bc youse know that im funny about drugs so for me to not even be that drunk #and get offered a fucking balloon of all things and be like 'yeah why not!' is.... odd #i know i inhaled wrong though bc it didn't do a thing which honestly im happy about <3 #hella goes home

I've realised that I absolutely love Cassandra now, by the way. it took a while but I've gone from 'I can't stand her' to 'she is my child and if anything happens to her I will murder someone'

#it was literally just because I didn't like the actress and I have absolutely no memory of WHY.#I think the only thing I've seen her in is relic hunter. maybe I thought she was annoying there? but it's been like 15+ years so I don't #remember that at all #anyway she's baby I love her #I'm almost done with season 3 and when I thought she was gonna die I. ooh I was so worried.#the librarians #cassandra cillian #I love them all (so much)#Jacob and Jenkins are my favourites lol #but I love everyone #well maybe except Flynn. he kind of goes from annoying to funny and back again. and he's gonna die apparently? I don't even mind 🤷#(she is my child. I say about someone who is 10+ years older than me lol)#I love her so much now that she's actually my phone wallpaper (her and Jacob. more of a coincidence really but the picture worked well #so it's nice 🥰)
