yes, i’m (kind of) alive updates: i (probably, most likely) have arthritis in my knees. i need to use a cane now for… well, the rest of my life, probably i’m on another antidepressant (buproprion) that the internet says i shouldn’t take on my other meds but maybe this one will hashtag fix me

addendum time after watching another marginalized person get harassed off the internet today: not everyone's art is for you. it does not have to be for you. you can walk away.

as a queer + disabled creator, I have learned one very important lesson during my tenure on the internet: if you do not like art a) by a marginalized creator and/or b) for marginalized people-- ESPECIALLY if you have a large following-- do not post about it

This has been the most fun I've had on a project yet, and it's all thanks to our wonderful team! Everyone has been doing an outstanding job. I'll have more to share in the upcoming days when the main menu is finalized, along with other pieces of art.

4. Our creative director and assistant colorist have been hard at work on the sprites, with one nearing completion thus far! 5. The logo is being worked on and I've been shown some wonderful progress on it 6. Finally, I'm currently working on an animated main menu for the game!

everyone go look at their art Now I will be following on VGen the moment after I quote repost this. the colors they use are so fun and so are their character designs! I will be commissioning them myself once I have Moneys..............

This post is unavailable.

tl;dr by deriding art made by marginalized communities and/or for them you are actively discouraging the creation of art by/for them also known as: if I see the high guardian spice situation rehashed one more time I am blocking everyone on earth . forever

you know what you should do instead? post about what you DO like! encourage what you WANT to see! that helps the creator! spend your time loving other people's work. spend it encouraging creation. spend it telling the creators that it made your day better

let's take steam as an example (note: i am a game dev) each negative review impacts the overall score of your game. there is no "neutral/middle of the road" review. each negative review harms the game if you do not like the game for and/or by marginalized people DO NOT MAKE A REVIEW OF IT ON STEAM

DtD DATE! technically starts its school year on a Tuesday, which ironically lines up with Sept 1st this year. Our protag, Danish, is new in town and the player gets to choose whether their first impression is of silent conformity, or frothing gender rebellion
