hi all, I’ve just moved to San Francisco to pursue work and am currently unhoused as of 6/16/25

I’ve opened a ko-fi tier for monthly support to help me get back on my feet

I’m connected with potential housing resources (this city has many), but I’m working to become independent for the first time in my life.

this ko-fi will serve as an intermediary step towards reopening Patreon, where I’ll sell tapestries as soon as I’m able. (you’ll also get personal sketches and process vids as I work on new Celestial art!)

please reblog and help me find reach if you feel moved to. 🙏 it helps….. more than I can express. 💖

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.

I’m watching Splash (1984) which is a romcom about a guy who falls in love with a mermaid, and when she chooses a human name she chooses Madison and guy says “that’s not a real name, but alright” which seems to imply that Madison was not a name until at least the 80’s and all girls named Madison are actually named after the mermaid. thought you should know

Please, help me treat my injured hand. I lost my father, mother, and all my siblings due to the war on Gaza, and now I have no one left but my children, whom I fear I may fail to protect. My wife is battling uterine cancer, and I am unable to afford her treatment or mine. You are my only hope after God. I am reaching out to you because I trust you—please, don't let me down.😭🥺🙏

My children's message to you .

I know that realistically you can only fit so many movies into a list of approximately 100, but I cannot take that "How many of tumblr's favorite movies have you seen?" list that's been going around seriously because there are some truly egregious omissions.

Some of it is very clearly recency bias, which makes me wonder if the op truly wasn't on here in 2013 or so, but you're telling me you made a list of "tumblr's favorite movies" that doesn't include Pacific Rim or Mad Max: Fury Road? Because, like, I was there, Gandalf.
