Every single time I go back to @campaignskyjacks Burza Nyth arc my sad Polish heart sings with how perfectly James pronounces both “burza” and “pióra”, is it ok, am I ok?

The fun thing about angels in Skyjacks is it's like your co worker or founder or mayor can be this Eldritch creature, that once wrote the laws of the universe and now they gotta get up and go to a job and complain about God or be forced to be molded by the world itself from belief and physical form. It's like lumens can be person's or creatures or an idea, but shaped by stories that never end, and usurped the top god place of that role of making up laws of the universe. I mean themes no gods, no kings, so on and so forth, but world building that is informed by story making is very fun.

Also Lucifer should be a barista somewhere. Personal head canon.

I’ve finally started listening to @campaignskyjacks’ younger sister, Skyjacks: Courier’s Call. @worldstoforge and the team – thank you, it’s DELIGHTFUL.

So if you haven’t already, just do yourself a favour and listen to this gem.

On that note:

The Otterbach’s Moon Market high striker prizes I doodled while listening: a burlap sack otter, a wooden peacock-hilted sword, and a wearable skyship costume (I love it so much).

Ok but OP I almost broke down crying having seen in your bio that you’re 18. It took me unnecessarily long to come to this conclusion. And honestly, also money. And let me tell y’all this. My passion, this beautiful bright thing in my life, used to be associated with feelings of GUILT and utter FAILURE. Because I should be bEtTeR, do more siGniFiCaNt and iNteLlEctUaL stuff, and, first and foremost, MAKE MONEY, otherwise it’s worthless, literally. Everyone, myself included, has been pushing this whole “DON’T WASTE THIS” narrative on me. As if any artistic / handcrafty skill was an obligation. It made me miserable. The most joy I’d been taking from doing art up to that point was when I was like 12 or 13 and used to doodle silly comic strips during school instead of paying attention to the class (hello ADHD).

The epiphany came when I was around 26-28, so like 4 to 6 years ago, and it’s been a process, and I’m still catching some glimpses of that mindset and have to consciously reroute my thoughts when it happens. But now I mostly succeed at just simply ENJOYING DOING STUFF. Even if I do need the money and can’t afford things I need, I don’t TRY to monetise my art. If anyone wants to pay me - yay! But otherwise, no. And it doesn’t matter that I could be doing something money-making during that time, because creating, making art, makes me more mentally stable (I’m still extremely unstable but that’s not the point here lol)

So now it’s like. Fan art drawing. Silly fanfic. 5 second doodle of my dog when he makes a face (the doodle never to be seen again, probably ending up in the bin with other scraps of paper). Crocheted plushie just for squeezing. Needle felted sculpture of a diplodocus with a 70s hippie hairdo. It doesn’t have to be a career thing, it doesn’t have to please anyone but me (but when it does, good heavens, what a joy!), it doesn’t have to be productive to have the right to take up my time and occupy my brain, it doesn’t even have to be finished, ever.

So to conclude: capitalism sucks so bad, and hey, you, the OP, you’re a super smart person and I wish I was so smart (not “as smart as you when I was your age”, just “as smart as you”, end of sentence <3)

i really do hate that if you're an artist you're expected to do something with it or want more out of it in some way. so it's seen as more 'valuable'. they either want you to go off to college or monetize it or both, you're expected to want that, you're expected to have making money as an end goal, you're expected to join the industry, if you like making fanart then you'll be encouraged to veer away from it to make stuff that's more personal and and less 'shallow'. there is no expectation that people want to make art for the sake of making art. it's all the belief that money should be made off of it and the only art that has value Outside of that has to hold some deep intellectual meaning to be considered worthy of respect and I just. Fuck man. Can a guy not be an artist just wanting to draw anime characters with anatomically incorrect angel and devil wings or some shit

It shows real people at different weights and heights to give you a better idea of what these abstract numbers all look like. Free to use.

i hate how you get desensitized to the cool stuff in your WIP if you've been writing it for a long time so when you read back over it you're like "this isn't as cool as i thought :(" but it still is! you just read it too many times

Adding a fun timelapse!

(Still hate this guy)

(You can kinda see the text layer I added with a pasted info on the season-animal sequence that I had to check all the time because my working memory is nonexistent 🧠🥲)

(Also there’s no „hmmm?” because I accidentally turned the timelapse recording off somewhere by the end, still not sure how)

Why has nobody told me about @campaignskyjacks earlier? Rude.

I hate Travis so much. I had to draw him.

So I know there are a lot of us who appreciate Minkowski as a big and buff woman, but hear me out, consider the thematic implications of tiny Minkowski. Of 5’0, athletic but not jacked, Minkowski. Because then, besides Eiffel, Minkowski would be the only character who is just pretty average. She’s not a brilliant scientist like Hilbert or Maxwell. She’s not in control of an entire space shuttle or an immortal android like Hera and Pryce. She can’t dodge out of the way of bullets like Cutter. And she can’t match the physical threat that Lovelace and Kepler have proven they posses. In fact, she’s not much of a threat at all, which is precisely why I think Cutter picked her.

She’s strict and disciplined, a natural leader who follows orders and trusts authority; exactly the kind of person Goddard can manipulate. However, even if she ever does wisen up (which she obviously does) she won’t be able to cause great damage to others or the company. She’s easily dispensable…so Cutter believes.

And yet time and time again, we see Minkowski survive. This woman, who was marked to be killed off back in season 1, manages to be one of few to make it back to Earth in the finale. Minkowski is constantly going against people bigger, brainier, and better than herself but she always comes out on top. She survives Hilbert’s takeover. She forces Kepler to surrender during their mutiny. She beats Jacobi’s ultimatum without any loss of life. She kills the immortal Cutter. Not to mention all the many, many disasters and dangers she endures (and brings her crew through) while in space.

And that’s because she’s a testament to the human spirit. An embodiment of sheer will and determination. Of unrelenting perseverance, even in the face of impossible odds. Don’t underestimate the little guy because they can endure. Renee Minkowski, the woman constantly proving you don’t need to be exceptional to do great things. And I love her for it.

#that’s exactly how I’ve always seen her #in my head she’s a tiny mousy haired person #with unbreakable spirit #wolf 359 #w359 #renee minkowski

James: I need you to make a presence check, Gable…

Liz: [quiet growling noises]

James: …’cause you are *lying*, while also offering real informatio-

Liz: No I’m NOT!!! That’s what The Changeling looks like! He looks like a d!ck!

I kinda have a feeling that whenever someone talks about Travis, his a$$holey senses are tingling. Like. Gable says 'Travis looks like a d!ck'. Meanwhile Travis:
