I made something....

The drawings:

I do think it's funny that the pjo fandom has kind of modernized a lot of characters looks/aesthetics with the changing time even if it's just subtle things like their haircuts or graphics on their shirts, but not Will.... like we have been drawing this kid with the same haircut for 10+ years and we still make him wear bootcut jeans with flip flops. It's so amusing, we hold up all these characters and we're like "look how they've grown and changed!" I'll see Hazel drawn with butterfly locs! Annabeth in fics now wears clothes like what I see women wearing on home design shows! Sometimes people give Nico a modern mullet or a fluffy tiktok haircut! I no longer see people drawing Piper in the babydoll dress and jeans combo! But for whatever everyone across the fandom seemed to look at Will and go "this boy shall only ever belong in the 2010s" and its funny as hell to me.

idk how much stock i put into those "gen z is more conservative than past generations" think-pieces from a few years back. but it's very possible for a person: to believe that climate change is a problem, to support (or be part of) the LGBT community, to believe in universal healthcare and social services, to support religious tolerance, to fight for expanded housing and labor rights, etc etc etc, and still, like, unabashedly hate women on a level you wouldn't believe existed

Starting to think a bunch of people just don't know the difference between "AI" and "stuff that happens to be previously programmed"

Reading some more books about autism ! I don't quite know if I'm on the spectrum (a lot of tests seem to lean towards yes) but still! A lot of them make the very lonely person inside me feel seen and understood a little more than before :]

trying to watch a knights tale cuz obviously but i cant get over the modernization choices that dated it within like two years of it coming out lol

do you sell merch / prints of your work at all? and related, do you attend any conventions? Supanova was recently held in Melbourne and I was really hoping for One Piece art but there wasn't much :,((

I had an online store for a while but it was hard to restock everything during lockdowns, and I've been meaning to restock it & open it back up again but haven't gotten around to it! I'll be sure to post about it here when I do, so keep your eyes peeled!

I used to do local cons (only within South Australia) but didn't have time to do it the last couple of years. I'm planning on getting back into it next year though and maybe traveling interstate for some of the bigger cons, which would be exciting! You would be in luck because I usually just make prints of art I've already finished, which means my table is like 90% One Piece, LOL. It's always so much fun because the One Piece fans get excited since, you're right, there isn't as much OP art at Artist Alleys these days! So I always have some fun conversations and see some cool cosplay.

I was thinking of expanding my repertoire next year, though, so if any of you have series you'd like to see me make prints/merch for, you can let me know in the replies here. :-)

people on tiktok/tumblr will post a picture of a rural appalachian town and caption it “ethel cain core southern appalachian gothic catholicism americana lana del rey vinyl” like my god you were raised in a protestant suburban home in washington.

What the hell has happened recently that people are comfortably and casually using “r*tard” and its derivatives again? It is everywhere and it horrifies me. I really thought we got rid of that permanently like 25 years ago, why is it back?

gillian acting like her 90s outfit weren’t iconic, even when they looked ugly she still looked good in them so. 😂

Yeah, I know. It was the 90s! Her outfits back then were great. They're iconic indeed.
