Collab Commissions with my Partner Venn (SilkieFeathers)
Venn does the sketch and lineart, I color and shade and often add background elements
Working with Venn has been very fun and also helps me support my partner, we split profits 50/50

fuckin called it
twitch doenst actually care about anyone outside of their top% and they make that clear over and over
the shite part is there isn't a better platform to compete with them (and YT isn't great for streaming so.)

HOSTING WITH EXTRA STEPS
and also probably locked behind being Partner, but specifically being top% im guessing

Twitch will soon launch a Co-Streaming Feature that piggybacks on combined viewership.

Main broadcasters can indicate if they allow their stream to be co-streamed. From there, others can co-stream their content, with viewership contributing to the main broadcaster's total.

Hey, we all like fireflies, right? Of course we do! So please: LEAVE YOUR LEAVES! Firefly larvae need the protection that fallen leaves provide to complete their life cycle. Even just allowing part of your yard to be covered with leaves can help the arthropods/invertebrates/microfauna living there.

i. said this.
this happens. EVERY TIME THEY CLAIM THEY ARE FIXING BOT VIEWERS.
THIS IS WHY I SAID DONT BELIEVE CLANCY!
Im not crazy to instantly not believe a CEO who self-promos in other streamer's chats.

Basil 🐺🌿 @basilwoof.bsky.social · 3d

Twitch finally admitted their anti-bot system is negatively impacting authentic view counts, alongside a bunch of other bizarre choices for what makes you count as a viewer. We were all right to complain.

These past few months my average viewership has dropped from 300+ to 150.

This is not a call for pity but more to put into perspective how 2025 has been impacting a lot of artists:

Between losses of sales, wholesale, tariffs, and fewer corporate clients, I have lost 50% of my gross income this year as a full-time graphic designer and artist.

If letting go of a children's wizard book or a chuck e cheese jumpscare sim is too much of an ask to stop bankrolling the persecution of queer people, you are not an ally. Full stop. This is especially true if you are a queer person yourself.

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.

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.
