Yo! I'm Soon To Be Taking a Break From Sword & Scale (for a tiny little bit)
I am just about caught up to what I have done so far for S&S (one more page and it looks fire y'all), and I'm thinking about taking a bit of a break. I’ve got some commissions I need to work on, and I want to do some writing too (there’s another chapter for Good Intentions that’s been percolating for months and its stupid and cute and I need to make people cringe by throwing it at them). There’s also work stuff and my birthday coming up so I'm going to be busy again— mostly I’m just really bad with feeling like there are too many things on my plate, no matter how pressing or not-so-pressing they are. Just feels like clutter is drowning me, y’know? Anyway. I just thought I'd declare it so I could feel less pressure while I do recuperate. But no fear, said break shouldn't be too long. Maybe a week, at most. And Tumblr will update with the next little 'segment' first (if not more slowly since my stockpile has been depleted and I don’t fancy dancing with burnout) as always. In the meant time I just want to say I've been astoundingly touched by y'all's support and kindness. Thanks so much! It's been making me smile everyday, and has definitely been encouraging me, even when I feel like I’m about ready to toss my stylus at a wall and embrace insanity. Also maybe I'll drop a few sketches from Arboren's mermaid design phase and stuff in the interim. They’re gross and also bad, but I’d love to revisit some of them (I always say I’m going to revisit stuff and never do, but who knows? Maybe one day it’ll stick. That’s what happened with comic making, and look at me, a wee baby fledgling with so much to improve on, but I am here, doing the thing! As I said I would. Just took time.)

For my birthday... read my webcomic! It's literally free! (Unless you want books. Those are not free)
It's beautiful, it's gentle, it's funny, they're canonically t4t and gay... And it's about time traveling vampires solving supernatural mysteries!
I've spent thousands of hours writing and drawing it, and it's really good! I'm not biased!
It's on hiatus right now and coming back in 2 months, so it's the perfect time to get caught up

Gotham Pride: So many WE sponsored posts that are bland and tacky. A bunch of cops with night sticks. Very boring. Bi Robin and lesbian Batwoman aren't even there. People are literally getting maced in the crowd. Police warned Catwoman not to go.
Metropolis Pride: There's a whole ass LOD float. Lex Luthor was in drag, got kissed by Superman AND Lois Lane. It lasts for a solid 4 days. No crimes are committed because no one wants to be called homophobic by the Superboys. Dreamer and Supergirl lead the parade. Everyone is having the time of their lives. Bi Robin was found dancing with Superboy and Impulse.

Yes, it is still luck even if you zig-zagged across the entire map. Just imagine - that spot might as easily have been without loot!

I hate when people are like "I already didn't like xyz so it's not difficult for me to boycott it unlike those loser customers that actually Liked the thing which I could never understand bc I was never a customer uwu" bc like. That literally isn't boycotting lmao. That is just Never Being A Customer In The First Place, which means nothing actually.
Boycotts are primarily about applying pressure (or completely making it impossible to operate) via financial/commercial/economic impact. AKA it's about money and capital.
If you already weren't spending money on a product/franchise/company, then you were already never part of their sales data, and you just doing nothing & making absolutely no change to your daily life and just continuing to not be part of their sales data as normal, has literally no material impact. You were already never a factor. The people who WERE customers & WERE part of the sales data & ARE withdrawing their money from those sales figures actually ARE making a material impact.
"Supporting" something isn't about vibes or thoughts or feelings or you telling your best friend how much you like a thing, "support" in a meaningful sense is specifically material. It is financial. Refusing to continue supporting something means taking the money you were previously spending on it & putting it elsewhere. If you were never spending money, you were never supporting it, and therefore it doesn't make any difference if you continue to not support it. Boycotting is something CUSTOMERS and CONSUMERS do.
SO STOP FUCKING BRAGGING ABOUT IT & STOP MAKING FUN OF PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY ARE BOYCOTTING FOR "EVER LIKING XYZ TO BEGIN WITH" & STOP SPREADING THIS FALSE IDEA OF HOW BOYCOTTING WORKS LMAO sorry for capslocking I remembered I was annoyed
I just hate this low-morale mean-spirited bullshit some people do in the notifs on boycotting info posts where they arbitrarily moralize about something they just don't understand so they can pat themselves on the back for doing literally literally nothing AND inadvertently spreading misinfo in the process. Be quiet. Go do something that matters. There are plenty of posts going around, including from Palestinians themselves, with lists of references for how to help Palestine & other similar causes for people currently in crisis, please please do something For Real instead of boasting online about your fandom superiority complex as if it means anything.
