lets say a wizard has cursed you with a lot of money. you are going to become permanently brain damaged simply by being in possession of so much money. the only way out of it is to spend a lot of money on something ridiculous and not at all useful

what would you buy to break the curse?

This right here. I love my art friends and art community, but I'm also trying to run a business as a freelancer/selling products and I need the reach! Every time we scatter to different platforms it's a little harder to exist as a working artist whose primary visibility is only online.

Up On Goblin Hill @upongoblinhill.bsky.social · 9d

As much as folks might not want to believe it, artists who sell their work cannot survive exclusively on platforms that cater to primarily other artists. The Circulating The Same Five Dollars™️ model can't feed us or pay bills for long. We need places where we can be seen and discovered.

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough,
, just so
other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

#stobotnik #jimbotnik #agentstone #ivorobotnik #eggman

An American comic book style illustration of Robotnik and Stone from the Sonic movies. Stone is on the floor with his hands above his head while Robotnik is straddling him, looking displeased and perhaps evil. They are inside Robotnik's lab. Stone does not seem to be unhappy with his current position, his face is pretty red.

if you have democrat rep/senators i recommend calling and reminding them you will never vote for them again if they bend the knee on this. shutting down the government is the correct choice. that is the exact phrasing in my 3 calls and it took 5 min total

Americans, if you have Democrat reps you need to call them TODAY (I can't stress this enough, TODAY) and demand they stand their ground on protecting trans healthcare.

Congress.gov, house.gov, or the 5 calls app to find your reps

#ariahalimi #myoc #ocs #frozenfear

a semi realistic illustration with thick lines and painterly blended shading of my character, Aria Halimi. She is a young Middle Eastern woman with her dark brown hair in a bob. She is holding a compact mirror in one hand and purple lipstick in the other, cross legged on a stool. She is wearing a light cyan shirt, black scalloped shorts, and purple tights. She has a choker necklace with a rose on it, purple painted nails, gold earrings and a gold bracelet.

A cartoony illustration of Robotnik and Stone from the sonic movies. Robotnik is the version from the first movie with an undercut and curled mustache. Stone is standing behind Robotnik and beaming, his hands clasped together and hearts surrounding him. The background is black with red and purple hues.
