ok so this started because, the thing about dusthides is that they have a very cool thing going on with their wing, where the secondary is only visible on the underside of the wing and not the top. unfortunately, only one pose (F) shows this off at all, so I wondered if the M pose could be altered to show the back wing to emphasize that trait. and also i thought it would be cool if the secondary was also on the underside of the plating, which i then had to add more of, and then also i had to draw the F pose to see if i could reposition the tail to show off THAT attribute. and then since i was drawing them ANYWAY i just redesigned some other things. for fun. i dont think i did it super great but it was a fun exercise!!
15 billion miles away and NASA was able to tweak code packages on one of the onboard computers and it worked and Voyager 1 is sending signals back to earth for the first time since November.
Is nobody going to mention the fact that one of the main people complining about Dusthide/Ancient criticism in general is the same person who made a shitty post complaining about the pace of scene releases? And insulted the scene artist by saying someone who is making a living wage as an artist should be making at least one full color large illustration a week?? And this was literally not even a month ago??? AND they directly tagged staff in some post? (Bold move!!)
So I guess it’s fine to complain about things they don’t like, but when others do it they are mean and evil?
something I've noticed about writing whump is it's made me far more comfortable in certain aspects of discomfort in my life. for example, I'm extremely emetophobic, but in the small amount of time I've spent in sickfic writing, it's gotten slightly less frightening IRL to me. i used to be scared of large amounts of blood, and now it doesn't bother me. the exploration and understanding of each topic helped me with discomfort. i think that's cool :)
