the whole point of a zine is that it's cheap to produce, amateur and homemade. if you're being asked to apply to participate in a print project, it is not a zine. if the final product is being printed and bound professionally, it is not a zine. if you are being asked to enter into any kind of licensing agreement more complex than "my work can be reproduced as part of this publication" it is not a zine. nine times put of ten if the final product costs more than $5 you have left zine country. im so serious about this.

My aro-spectrum self is obsessed with making things slowburn, so please factor that in as needed, but you should know bug yaoi is becoming very clearly real. Good time to catch up, imo.

Utterly criminal when a book has a really great title and is also one of the worst books you've ever read in your entire life.

You're not actually a better friend for not articulating and respecting your own needs, limits and boundaries. Your lack of communication and boundaries is not some impressive sacrifice. You're not doing anyone any favors by acting like you're okay with things you aren't okay with. You're just building burnout and resentment that will eventually damage the relationship in question. And when you eventually snap and walk away because you silently overburdened yourself to be a "good friend", it won't be the other persons fault

everything looks like a nail when you've got a hammer and every song is actually about the character when they're on your mind 24/7

Ok I will be very deflated if I don't post any Astra updates during Pride Month (especially when the next two chapters are already done), so I'm posting twice before this month ends, one way or another. That is a promise and a threat!!

I know the preference was for them to go up with the illustrations, but my wife was swamped at work this month, so I might just have to add them afterwards. Anyway. There WILL be an update in the next 24 hours or less.

I get performance anxiety over art trades pretty easily, so I have historically struggled to participate in Art Fight, but if you’re participating, you should link me to it or your Toyhouse so I can look at your OCs.

Wheeze. I really wish it were possible to mute notifications for a specific post on Tumblr. I'm really tired of the notifs for this one...
