THE TRAILER???? HELLO HELLO HELLO

After months of research and development and market testing and perfecting the first item I feel confident selling online, I have realized... that it is an incredibly niche item that only a specific subset of absolute nerds would want to buy, and I will have to do a ton of explaining the basic idea over and over again before people generally get what it is I'm even selling. RIP me

100,000 dollars is not a lot of money.

it is also a lot more money than i will ever have. my student loans make up half of that - they're coming back, i'm told, like we all bounced back recently. the other day while paying for gas to go to work, i overdrew my account without knowing it.

i sat in the car and looked at the charge and tried to do the math. where the fuck is the money even going? i don't live extravagantly. i live in a hole in the ground, in an apartment the size of a sneeze; covered in ants. yes, i wanted to live close to a population center. maybe that's my fault. i've downloaded the apps and i've spoken to the experts and i've cut back on excess. i can't help the pharmacy bills or the medical debt.

i have a good, well-paying job. when i googled it to see if i was getting a fair salary, i found out i'd be making "upper middle class" money. which doesn't make sense - is "upper middle class" now just "able to afford a one-bedroom without a roommate". when i was younger, upper-middle meant a nice big house and a backyard and vacations and not flinching about eating at a resturant.

i was talking to my friend who is a realtor. he said 100,000 dollars is extremely cheap for housing. he's not wrong. 100,000 dollars would change my life. 100,000 dollars also won't really buy you anything. it could get you out of debt, potentially, if you were lucky and had a certain amount of scholarships to tack onto your degree. you could pay off the car and then have enough left over for "spending" money. how fucking amazing. one vacation, maybe two if you're thrifty. and then - like magic - the money would evaporate into nothing. people would sigh and tell you see, you should have put it into savings! like "upper middle class" people can't afford to value "actually living" over squirrelling wealth. you should spend your life only in scarcity. like that is what made the rich people all their real "actually a lot of money".

100,000 dollars would literally set me free. it also would just set me back to "earning normally" instead of paying down debt into infinity. god, do you know how many of us just want that? that our first thought is we could stop scrambling and just be free of debt if we won the lottery? that we don't even necessarily need to stop working - we just wouldn't have to worry about failing or falling?

and. at the same time. 100,000 dollars is next to fucking nothing.

posting all my genderbent sunny (mostly toxic yuri macden) art at once like i'm known to do tehee :) ft Charlie in a little mini comic where mac and den try to give her a make-over for a scheme, based on a conversation i had with my friend kath, who is THE person i'd trust most with writing an actual iasip episode btw.

Average Drama Enjoyer observes some peak drama.

The amount of b-grade/miscut/misprint stickers I get when making batches is goofy

What's in my hand is usable and can be sent out, the boxes behind it are all ones with imperfections/ damage but can't bring myself to throw away because it feels like I'm being wasteful. I might make 'scrap baggies' for each fandom and offer them on kofi for like 7-10 stickers for the price of one or something again

I made this like a month or so ago and never posted it cuz it was a digital painting practice and I kind of hate it….

but also a new friendlocke anime episode is out and I felt like I should release this horror onto the world.

DRAGONS RISING S2 SPOILERS‼️‼️

okay but i actually really hope that zane is the first one to 'find' jay in dr. it actually makes perfect sense. zane is being hunted by the administration, and we now know that Jay is in that kind of field of work (retrieval of items and/or persons) as he was present during the mission at the other monastery.

and like, wouldn't it be so so sad. jay shows up to take him to his death, zane isn't able to fight him bc well, he's JAY, and thus gets taken into custody. he then realises that jay doesn't recognise him. he's lost his memories. the very worst thing to ever happen to zane is now happening to one of his friends and no matter how hard he tries, he can't stop it. he can't help him.

meanwhile jay is just trying to do his job (transporting this random robot to the incinerator), but the robot starts saying things that only jay should know. he talks about jay's lightning, and his food preferences, and his daily habits, and jay is frankly TERRIFIED. not of how much this stranger knows about him, but of the idea that he might have been wasting the past few years of his life working at a dull office job instead of being with a loving family.

thankq for listening to my ted talk (i DEFINITELY won't be writing a one-shot of this omg)
