I'm so mad that post was misinformation because there is actually an EXTREMELY important conversation to have about the production schedules artists are forced into. There's no need for exaggeration, the conditions are bad.

I work for webtoon. My publication schedule is weekly. While publishing I'm required 10-15 pages a week. Fully colored.

This means I'm finishing a 150 page fully colored graphic novel every 10-15 weeks.

When my comic is not updating, I am not getting paid. Any time writing, editing, or off is out of my own pocket. I don't get healthcare. They do not provide any assistants. They expect me to promote myself; they chose to deprioritize me before I even launched and gave me an end date half a year in. I never had a chance.

And this is the industry standard! Every company has artists forced into crunch hours, overtime, and burnout. Artists are literally dying early due to it. So many of my friends can't afford to go to the doctor.

It's unsustainable and untenable, and it's also the expectation our audiences have.

If we want to have this conversation, there's plenty of conversation to be had with the realities of the situation. It's bad as is.

i had a really shitty day at work so im about to write some self-indulgent nonsense and not let anyone else read it ever. i'm talking "judas wept deleted scene" level of self-indulgence. it's not gonna be written well. it's not gonna be canon. it's just me playing with my dolls before i sleep and wake up to the same (hopefully less shitty) day

she’s a girl with little to no interest in romance and has a hard time expressing her thoughts and you DIDNT want us to mischaracterize her?? grow up dude. Welcome to the “real world”

i have to say this on tumblr bc im scared of the twitter girlies. but i simply cannot see quinn hughes as hot. his eyes are too distressed even in the thirstiest of traps that people post on tiktok or wherever. maybe this is just solidarity between eldest daughters whose younger brothers are more popular than them, but all i want to do is pat his shoulder in sympathy and say hey buddy it's going to be alright.

When someone mutuals you and you think they're cool but then they start posting suspiciously proshit stuff despite your DNI and having trauma with that shit

Everyone who's not in their 20s owes me a million dollars for every time they say "well your 20s are *supposed* to be stressful" bro y'all didn't have to worry abt the world burning to death or the violent end of democracy and human rights or an untenable economy only benefitting the wealthy or a world-changing pandemic . Leave me alone

that article going around abt firefox's new ad program is annoying bc it's phrased as though "mozilla has finally TURNED on its people and is SELLING YOU OUT for cold hard cash!!" when. that's not what's happening. it is specifically being implemented to discourage tracking behavior, and literally all the data they are giving to advertisers is aggregate and anonymized, which is like, the opposite of what that post wants you to worry about, lol
