ARCHFALCON VANGUARD (Archie!!) 🦅⚡️🏹

Wings of heaven, storm-wielding guardian to the ruins of Luzon’s ocean frontier 🌊 Finally got some time to redesign Archie as proof of concept for a new Arrows look, so I can start rolling out new mecha art soon with renewed confidence 😤

In your view/experience. is the rate of "incompleteness" among webcomics more or less the nature of online personal projects as a whole? Or is there something specific to webcomics like laboriousness, audience expectations, relative medium infancy or whatnot?

well for one thing webcomics has changed significantly in the last ten years. it used to have a much lower barrier for entry, just get a smackjeeves account or set up a website with a wordpress plugin. starting a webcomic when i started my webcomic vs starting a webcomic now are totally different experiences.

so i can only speak to people who started their webcomics roughly ten years ago. and roughly ten years ago a lot of us were a whole lot younger with a lot more time and energy to spend on a comic for free. this part is probably still somewhat true for new artists.

but then you get older. your ideas change. your skill develops and the old stuff isn't as good. or you don't have as much time, you got a day job. unless you're one of like five people on earth your webcomic is not paying your rent. you need to make money. your shoulder hurts. you're 30 now. you're struggling to make updates on time between whatever else makes you happy and what else you need to do to live. you wrote this story when you were 21, you don't relate to it anymore, you have different ideas, you've grown up, your audience has noticeably dropped off from the peak, social media managing is hard, you have to go to work, you're so tired, all the time.

it's a lot of things.

Mona, my contact in Rafah right now, has just survived an air strike while distributing food parcels that were created thanks to your donations. She and her brothers who were also distributing the food were very nearly hit. Alhamdulillah for everything.

When I asked her if anyone was killed by this air strike, she told me Alhamdulillah no one was hit. It's possible she just meant from her relatives present there, but I'm going to take it to mean no one was killed at all, until we hear more news. She's very tired and works very hard to distribute our donations. If you want to send her a kind message, letting her know you care - in English or in Arabic - leave it as a reply or as a reblog comment or as a bunch of tags or in my inbox (if inbox, specify that it's for Mona) and I will send it to her. Our donations are important but they're nothing without her work, and most importantly her well-being and safety.

was thinking abt the difference in how (some) people view women's products as "things companies are trying to sell to women" while men's products are "things men want as consumers" and like. men's desires are constructed by the patriarchy. this is the problem w engaging w the concept of the patriarchy as like, the culmination of every single individual man's active desires instead of a system inherently intertwined with other systems of power. like men are constructed manhood is sold to you! if you think that everything the patriarchy says about women is a lie but you take it at it's word on The Ways Men Naturally Are. I simply need you to rethink things

are yall not embarrassed to be saying shit like “sorry for not caring about the suffering of other people in the world but i have stuff going on in my life” like… you can simply keep that to yourself bro you dont have to do this uwu validation shit. nobody’s holding a gun to your head forcing you to mainline aljazeera 24/7

TTRPG Bundle for Trans Youth - Last few days

I'm kinda staggered by the response to the TTRPG Bundle for Trans Youth. I'd hoped we'd get to $3k, and it's almost at 3 times that! Thank you all so much for supporting the group (especially the two people who paid $100?? wow), and thanks to everyone who submitted games and supplements!

There's a couple of days left, so if you haven't been able to grab it yet, toss a couple bucks in and get yourself some sweet games.

every single time israel fires on people picking up food or humanitarian aid it truly cuts me to the core. obviously it's equally horrible to fire on civilians escaping the invasion or to bomb hospitals or refugee camps or people just living in their own homes. but there's something so brutal about hitting people right when they have gathered for life-saving aid. by firing on them there the IOF have set up an impossible dilemma where starving people have to choose between death by bullet or death by hunger. they have left no room for palestinians to choose life. i do not know how my government or any other government can just sit by and watch while innocent people continue to be gunned down for the crime of existing in israel's eyeline.
