Hi! I'm Jun (they/them) 🌈
I'm a disabled artist, fanfic writer, and a game dev when I can be bothered.

I'm trying to be less self-concious + more cringe and free so expect lots of rambles! 🙏🏽

Sign our petition urging the US FTC to watch this deal closely. If left unchecked, this deal spells disaster for EA's workers and players alike, but there's still time to do something about it!

Make EA Better for Workers and Gamers - Not Billionaires

Please read our statement regarding the proposed Electronic Arts buyout. We refuse to let corporate greed decide the future of our industry.

cwa-union.org/news/release...

United Videogame Workers-CWA Statement on Proposed Electronic Arts Buyout
October 15, 2025
NATIONWIDE — The following statement is from United Videogame Workers-CWA Local 9433.

The recently proposed acquisition of Electronic Arts (EA) by the sovereign wealth fund of Saudi Arabia and private equity firms, including Jared Kushner’s Affinity Partners, will further concentrate power and wealth into the hands of a few gatekeepers while doing nothing to address the concerns of players and workers.

EA is not a struggling company. With annual revenues reaching $7.5 billion and $1 billion in profit each year, EA is one of the largest video game developers and publishers in the world. EA’s success has been entirely driven by tens of thousands of EA workers whose creativity, skill, and innovation made EA worth buying in the first place. Yet we, the very people who will be jeopardized as a result of this deal, were not represented at all when this buyout was negotiated or discussed.

We are particularly worried about the future of our studios that are arbitrarily deemed ‘less profitable’ but whose contributions to the video game industry define EA’s reputation. Since 2022, an estimated 40,000 video game workers have already lost their jobs due to mass layoffs at AAA and indie studios alike. As reported in Game Developer, this deal will result in EA having to finance nearly $20 billion in debt—who will be spared, which corners will executives cut, and what studios will be sacrificed in order for that to happen?

If jobs are lost or studios are closed due to this deal, that would be a choice, not a necessity, made to pad investors’ pockets—not to strengthen the company.

Every time private equity or billionaire investors take a studio private, workers lose visibility, transparency, and power. Decisions that shape our jobs, our art, and our futures are made behind closed doors by executives who have never written a line of code, built worlds, or supported live services. We are…

Cyberpunk 2077 scenery shot in colour shot from a low angle, upwards through the red, steel bars of a bridge with red/orange lanterns hanging from the beams. Buildings can be seen, stretching towards the sky with walking bridges spanning between them near and far. Two flying cars can be seen between them. On the bridge itself, and before the protective bars a rifle can be seen on the ground.
It is night time though she sky is lit by the many coloured lights of the city.

Another option to upgrade from Windows 10 is Windows 95.
It's 85 versions ahead, it will blow your mind how advanced it is.

FOR SURE! With your poses and coloring style you would absolutely kill it at a tarot design (positive), I cannot wait to see! 👀Also a full deck would be so so so cool! Endless admiration for anyone who is able to tackle a full deck!

Sweetmage 🍬 @sweetmage.bsky.social · 16h

Yeah, I kinda got the feeling they were just choosing them based on name and very vague vibes instead of in depth character analysis, so I LOVE your ideas for him! Excellent! Please show me if you wind up doing Keith or your OC, I love a good tarot card 👀💞

Everyone was so niceys to me about my Yuri tarot card 🥺 Kinda wanna draw some more now, maybe for some characters that don't have them? I might also go through and look at the existing tarot designs and see if there's any others I can think of alternatives for

God, I hope this is true

Tumblr post by user novelconcepts:

“Hey, man, c'mere. Listen. Get in real close, this is important.

You're gonna make stuff again. You're gonna make stuff you're proud of. You're gonna make stuff you're excited to share. You're going to feel that overwhelming drive to create, not just the frantic I want to want to you're stuck in now. You're going to have awesome ideas, and you're going to make them into reality. You're going to create again. You're still an artist. You're still a writer. You're still home to the same passion you had before. You'll find it again. It's not gone. It's just resting. Let it rest. You're going to make stuff again. I promise.”

Well.... usually. I mean I guess in this longfic he's not because he's too split in half by his personas to consider the fact that he's the same guy secretly seeing two different guys in different personas but you know lmao

Most autistic people I meet *like* being autistic. It’s core to who they are & comes with many strengths

What’s hard is surviving in a society that rarely accommodates, respects or tries to understand us

There’s a BIG difference between being autistic & being unsupported

Let’s not confuse the two

Honestly I would complete a lot more animatics if I kept them secret until they're finished instead of getting the premature dopamine hit of telling someone about it/showing WIP which marks it as complete in my brain lol

Sweetmage 🍬 @sweetmage.bsky.social · 1d

I need to have a way open up my brain and dump a fully formed animatic out of it. What do you mean I have to draw 29593995939593 frames? Cruel and unusual

I know him wearing cat ears and glittery nails and cheesing real big does not give the correct impression of him, however he can't help being a cutie pie, he just looks like that 😩

Sweetmage 🍬 @sweetmage.bsky.social · 1d

Like he is a good guy, but he's got abused stray dog energy where you need to come prepared with tools and treats and lots of patience to get him to stop snapping at you for getting too close
