That viral post that's going around about how people who write "book quality" mlm fic are too "normal" to publish and have real jobs so only "weird" people publish their "shitty" fanfic is so completely out of touch with reality and I am giving a massive side eye to everyone reblogging it.
Not only is it completely, easily verifiably untrue (you cannot enter any professional writing space without tripping over a dozen grizzled scifi writers who got their start by filing off the serial numbers and publishing their Star Trek fanfic even going back decades ago??? it's a whole thing?? plus how can you look at the mlm category on Amazon right now and say with a straight face that people aren't publishing shitty Spirk and Stucky fanfic??? Oh, honey...) it's also the perfect example of this kind of sneering elitism that true artists would never sully themselves by seeking profit, they do it only for the purity of the thing that always somehow leads back to, "no one should be paid to make art, actually."
The only reason you're seeing more published fanfic right now has nothing to do with the idealistic purity of your hypothetical government employee written smut of the past vs the debased scribbles of those awful straights of today and everything to do with the fact that a) self-publishing has created a voracious readership that wants a ton of content so it's become a viable, flexible income stream for many, especially disabled people b) anyone can publish now with self-publishing tools so there are less gatekeepers and c) lockdown got a lot of people into fandom and therefore writing who never tried it before.
And if you really think there's no "shitty" published mlm and no "book-quality" m/f writing out there that started as fanfic, then you are clearly not a reader so why are you even talking about this?

This is not a place of honor
[IMG ID: Two images. The first is a longer image of presumably Agent 8 in Side Order expansion of Splatoon. They are crouched by the water with many spikes coming out of it with red string tied to them in a very bright dull lighting. The second image is the same character but waist up in darker lighting. Behind them are red and white patterns with the heavily textured dark spikes in front with red veins on them. /END ID]

OKAY. so! tomorrow/later today depending on when ur seeing this post, a LOT of you guys are gonna be seeing pokay for the very first time! which is both really cool and also REALLY SCARY!
(because what the fuck do you MEAN people dont remember this guy from smplive. what do you MEAN people dont REMEMBER SMPLI-)
sorry. normal. this is a Normal post. i promise!
point is, this little guy --
--(assuming poke doesnt change his skin hours before joining the server) has a lot to him!
a lot that people who are new to poke definitely don't know, and wouldn't know just from looking at him on the surface
so! here's a (hopefully not TOO lengthy) bullet point list of a crash-course on his cubito, as well as some art of his current design!
poke's original skin was this guy, the homa! he's an mc skin rendition of this meme edit that blew up back in the mid-late 2010's
throughout the years, he's added countless accessories and outfits and other little defining traits from other characters, but most notably of those are a dbz style gi, a full on solid snake cosplay at one point, an infinity gauntlet (as was customary of 2019 minecraft skins)
thus, with those powers combined the hoba was born! look at he look at how silly he is behold the him
the hoba has 2 whole refs of his original design over the years! (by hepphast and osidinum on twitter respectively)
...but sadly no full ref for the new design :(
we DO have these pieces though! which are very cool! (also all by isabel lol)
as well as basically like. anything from @/malewifeph1lza yall should go give ALL of the people whose art ive shown a follow their stuff is banger 🙏

if anyone's heard of the 90s computer game "petz", I'm doing an Artists for Palestine-adjacent program where if you show me proof of donation you can buy in-game creations from me.
So if you want something like one of these...
...or dozens of other things I've made as a virtual pet to play with on your computer, download one of the games and then shoot me a message to sort stuff out. Links to the free download, my portfolio, and the official forum thread (not necessary to post in, but may be of interest) will be in reblogs since I'm not sure if all of the links are clear for Tumblr searches.
if you're not interested, please still reblog! this is my only major creative outlet and I know it's niche but I've already had people donate for it so I know there's potential to make a difference.

left unattended on a magma board and I undertale yellowed all over the place (more like ceroba'd but whatever,,,)
uh. some closeups under the cut!!! Man I forgot how much I love drawing on magma...
the top two ceroba doodles are my favorites I think. I thought it would be silly to combine Ceroba with the Snow-Faced Fox from Monster Hunter Rise! I like MonHun a normal amount okay.
might Monster Hunterify some other characters.... who knows.......
man liking a game called MONSTER HUNTER and a goddamn UNDERTALE fangame (where y'know. You SHOULD NOT kill the monsters) at the same time is genuinely comical
