- someone in my font enthusiasts facebook group asked “if there’s a comic sans [serif], does that mean there’s a comic serif?” and now everybody is losing their minds over this
- and that’s a WRAP on Volume 9!! Thank you so much to everyone who went on this wild journey with us. Thank you to CRWBY for creating the most beautiful and emotional volume yet. I still can’t believe I got to be a part of this incredible team.
- still thinking about how US politicians kept insisting “one $1400 check six months ago is the reason nobody is working now!” as if they had given us each a million bucks and a free car
- Replying to @kiersiI just read “font enthusiasts Facebook group” back to myself and if there’s anything even more niche than a subreddit…
- "peak character design" and it's just a woman with muscles
- Replying to @naturtium and @rajandelmanmutually consenting adults aren’t what’s being talked about here. a lot of 50s housewives had no other opportunities, no choices, and had to wait on their husbands hand and foot with a perfect, pretty, and demure presentation. it was a specific vibe.
- making art and getting paid for it isn’t a “privilege.” artists spend their whole lives developing the skills and experience needed to make the media we all love. it is a JOB, and fair pay is how the artists who make the work you consume survive.
Replying to @kiersiI need someone to photoshop them taking a selfie in front of them kissing.- It was really brave of @KdinJenzen, and everyone who opened up about their time at RT, to tell their stories. Though I’m just a freelancer, I’ve been in the trenches with many of you, and I’m sad and disgusted by the way you’ve all been mistreated there.
- just read someone say that they get their dog to take pills by shouting "NO! DON'T EAT THAT!" and the dog swallows it right away. I'm dying
- there's a reason this has been my banner image for four years #rwby9spoilers
- Replying to @ExileGrimmright after my grandmother passed away, I was tasked with staying with my grandfather after the funeral and entertaining him. Thinking it would be a fun, escapist kids' movie, I took him to see UP. 🥴
- IMO, "soggy middles" plague writers because Western storytelling is more interested in the end point of a character's journey, rather than the ups and downs that got them there. we often see the "middle" as a means to an end, not as critical plot and story infrastructure.
