In today's comic, Artemisia makes an upsetting discovery.

#so here's the thing #hanag was the first source master i found #and at that time i was under the mistaken impression that i was REQUIRED to get a source point from EACH of them #so i did the killing the animals thing even though i absolutely hated it #and by the time i found out you could actually pick and choose source masters and say no to the ones you don't like #that decision was way too far behind me to go back and change #almira was the last one i met #so by then i already knew how the quest actually worked #but finding out that i chose murder when there was a makeout option available all along just kind of added insult to injury #divinity #divinity original sin 2 #dos2 #almira #comics

I've seen several sites mention this, it's real.

Do not make the MISTAKE of thinking you need to put your side forward. The Guardian is transphobic as fuck, and will twist your words. DO NOT ENGAGE.

By the way, this is in the aftermath of the Cass Report, and the goal will be to make Trans DIY something that needs to be regulated or stamped out. DO NOT ENGAGE.

Boy did this one go downhill fast...

#what didn't help was that the guy we were rescuing was trying to die so fucking hard the whole time #istg I had to spend someone's actions once a round healing that guy #only to have him immediately set himself on fire again #also i realize the little blob guys didn't really have faces #but the style I'm using for these comics is so simple #I couldn't figure out how to make them recognizably monsters and not just like weird rocks or piles of stuff #so they got these stupid little faces #dos2 #divinity #divinity original sin 2 #sebille #lohse #blackpits #comics

it's also realizing that these movies existed because adults felt like those ants. They wanted to organize and do something and they felt like they couldn't so they made those movies for us. So that the next generation of workers would understand their fate and power and be motivated to change our reality.

I'm an anticapitalist because some people at Pixar a long time ago put all of their faith and hope into teaching kids, that we deserved better. And that one day we'd be big enough to fight for it.

I've grown.

And I'm ready to punch some crickets in the face.

CONTENT WARNING: STALKING

A lot of brewskis have noticed my slow down these last few months and this is the major reason for it. Yes, a person at my work has been following me at the beginnings of my shifts and has not gotten any repercussion. I don't feel safe anymore. My partner and I are moving, but even still we don't feel comfortable with me working at that place, however it's difficult as I don't have a college degree and this place pays more than most jobs around here.

We have some plans in place, but I'm financially struggling. I hate to do this, but I created a ko-fi to help with relocation and to help stifle some of the burden of quitting this job. All the money would go towards things like rent, groceries, and car payments. I do have a Patreon, but it isn't bringing in enough to help with this issue and I'm debating about deleting it due to me not being able to keep up with things over there.

Anything helps, but don't donate if you can't---reading this and sharing it will be a massive help still <3

No more trans doom scrolling! Today we are embracing trans hedonism!

T4t love, polyamory, queer platonic relationships, and friendships are so beautiful! Embrace pleasure, embrace rest, embrace yourself and all those you love! Eat that cake, kiss that person, take that nap, enjoy your life! Today I call for an era of radical trans joy!

April 15th: Global Strike

Bisan has called for a global strike on April 15th

"*April 15 is a day of global strike*.. No schools, no movement, no work, no electronic payment, no gas stations. Make more noise and disturb the peace of terrorist politicians in America and IsraHell."

To be trans is to change for the better.

Bloodmoon Island was not our favorite of the places we've been so far.

#it was yucky #at least we are that much closer to getting lohse's whole situation dealt with #all the same I will not be missing that place #given the choice would always prefer to walk on dirt or grass rather than an endless haunted meatscape #just me though #dos2 #divinity #divinity original sin 2 #sebille #lohse #bloodmoon island #comics

This bitch actually let me hug her and I nearly hyperventilated. The growth of her and Artemisia's relationship has honestly been one of my favorite parts of this game.

#but then I always have been one to treat any game like a dating sim #now if only SOMEONE out there would make an RPG where they let you be poly #I would 100% romance both my companions if I could #but when I'm forced to choose #I'm powerless to resist #the raging maelstrom of daggers and defense mechanisms with a tender and goofy heart at its center that is sebille kaleran #divinity #divinity original sin 2 #dos2 #sebille #queer #lesbian #comics

I didn't start seriously making webcomics until after these changes had already happened, and it really can be so hard to keep going with how things are now, but comics are what bring me to life and I can't fathom the idea of ever stopping. And yeah thank goodness for Comicfury, I don't know what I'd be doing without it right now.

Anyway read my comic maybe, if you feel like it? It's queer and trans and poly and some folx think it's pretty neat.

It's on Tapas too but it has to be censored there due to aforementioned corporate bullshit:

There truly are people still out there making beautiful work, because we're humans and we can't fucking STOP making art, which, as people more eloquent than me have pointed out, is one advantage we'll always have over corporations and AI.

In your view/experience. is the rate of "incompleteness" among webcomics more or less the nature of online personal projects as a whole? Or is there something specific to webcomics like laboriousness, audience expectations, relative medium infancy or whatnot?

well for one thing webcomics has changed significantly in the last ten years. it used to have a much lower barrier for entry, just get a smackjeeves account or set up a website with a wordpress plugin. starting a webcomic when i started my webcomic vs starting a webcomic now are totally different experiences.

so i can only speak to people who started their webcomics roughly ten years ago. and roughly ten years ago a lot of us were a whole lot younger with a lot more time and energy to spend on a comic for free. this part is probably still somewhat true for new artists.

but then you get older. your ideas change. your skill develops and the old stuff isn't as good. or you don't have as much time, you got a day job. unless you're one of like five people on earth your webcomic is not paying your rent. you need to make money. your shoulder hurts. you're 30 now. you're struggling to make updates on time between whatever else makes you happy and what else you need to do to live. you wrote this story when you were 21, you don't relate to it anymore, you have different ideas, you've grown up, your audience has noticeably dropped off from the peak, social media managing is hard, you have to go to work, you're so tired, all the time.

it's a lot of things.

#maybe in a little bit I'll follow up on this and plug some of the good webcomics I'm into right now #this post is reminding me how much we as artists need to connect and support and promote each other #art #comics #webcomics
