i've been looking for a new job for about a month now and unfortunately it isn't going well so far. i'm a bit worried about rent and bills. and that is why i am setting up commissions on here and ko-fi! please read below for further info :3

hi!

i graduated this june. now i have moved back home and i have some more free time on my hands. i am reblogging this post to let others know that i am actively seeking commission again.

i live in a very rural area with a low gdp. work here is very summer based due to the tourist industry. however, its reaching the end of the tourist season and so there are very few jobs about. in addition, my disability makes it much harder for me to get a job. if youd like to get a piece of art for relatively cheap and support me, then please consider commissioning me. i am in no danger of being homeless or starving, though, so dont feel pressured. the situation is much better than last summer.

i added some newer examples of my work and i am also planning to add a comic option!

can’t stop picking my lip :o)

people who ship asuka and rei don't ship them because they actually believe that the narrative is inviting a romantic reading of them or that they have any real chemistry within the show, it's about exploring the fact that the two of them are foils who are continually pitted against each other in every possible way. it's about the fact that they actively hate each other because in the other person they see the parts of themselves they resent the most. it's about considering the ways in which their relationship could be different if they didn't find themselves in the situation they're in, if they had had the space to be normal teenagers. it's about unpacking each of their relationships to their sexuality: it's about reading asuka as a queer girl who lashes out at other girls and instead pursues an adult man and a boy she hates as a way to repress her sexuality because she hates everything about who she truly is, and it's about reading rei as a girl who has never even had the opportunity to know what true reciprocal love and attraction feel like because she's been groomed her entire life and feels a disconnect from her physical body in a way that is very familiar to survivors of sexual abuse, especially queer ones.

people who ship misato and ritsuko ship them because they have clearly had actual sex in canon.

There is no joke to explain… Itd all there

Magical girl who's powers come from the moon <3 but not in a mystical magical symbolic way there’s a whole-ass physical network of buildings and massive power generators and relays on the moon that monitor her location at all times and determine when she needs to transform, harnessing neon and helium-3 gasses to produce high energy plasma that gets magnetically manipulated over thousands of miles to match her exact unique dna code which then gets spliced together and wound up into a single smaller capsule and loaded into a special missle which gets shot through space in a giant metal pod at near lightspeed before breaking apart dramatically, zapping her, and exploding; causing her to go beastmode and very probably temporarily completely insane and giving her abilities such as being able to run through solid titanium doors or kill multiple on-edge squads of shadowy military agents or do laundry for a time duration of around 5-25 minutes. Each time this happens it makes the news and it costs her something like 35 million USD and it’s actually a huge geopolitical issue in-universe.

the art piece in question is made in criticism of ai:

idk if this is a W for being anti-ai. this seems rather reactionary

we need to invent a way to explain how deep running and pervasive and subliminal racism and antiblackness is without immediately sounding like an insane conspiracy theorist

female characters are always lighter than male characters. strong characters are almost always dark. aggressive characters are almost always dark. peaceful and intelligent characters are almost always light. even amongst darker characters the lightest one is usually either the leader or the girls. dark is evil and light is good.

if you try to explain this to a white person they look at you like youre insane

briefly pursuing a career in animation radicalized me on this. So many stories from the industry about how you have to start with your character design as dark as possible, because INEVITABLY you'll get "notes" from higher-ups asking you to make them lighter.

In a class about making a pitch bible my teacher once role-played as a shitty executive with a classmate, pressing them in intentionally abrasive ways about why they made their characters diverse. He emphasized that we had to learn to defend these things, because the racism in the industry is extremely deliberate.

Ronald Wimberly's comic essay, Lighten Up, stays evergreen

there cannot be this much to say about heated rivalry

Now that FGO has "ended" and LB6 is still the clear fan favorite it got me wondering
