TERROR BLOODLETTER (Taylor Ledbetter) @tlrledbetter.bsky.social · Feb 3

Taylor here. I'm 34, autistic, and I've yet to have a professional job despite years of trying. I'm both an artist and a writer mostly known for fan works and have co-written several spec scripts with my pal Clark.

I'd be up for any work on IP, but I've got plenty of original ideas too.

A mock-up of a Banjo-Kazooie animated series in the style of The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog. Banjo and Kazooie chase a Jiggy down a path as Gruntilda, flying her broomstick, and Kungo chase after them. Bottles tries to point them out to Banjo and Kazooie, while Tootie looks on nervously atop a cliff. Next to Tootie are Mumbo Jumbo and Humba Wumba, getting into a bit of a squabble. Five Jinjos fly overhead during all of this.

A lineup of characters for an original animated series. On the left is a redhead teenage boy with baggy clothes, including a red flannel shirt. In the middle is a chipper teenage girl with long black hair, a bright pink top and purple bell-bottoms. On the right is a stuck-up, nerdy tween boy wearing thick glasses and proper, dull-colored clothing.

Concept art of a house for an original animated series. It's a blue, two-story house on a hilly landscape amongst colorful autumn trees, though some in the foreground are noticeably dead and gnarled. A mountain range rests far in the background.

I was doing rough sketches of my potential Wario-like game Vigilante Vance and I think I already stumbled upon the perfect box art image.

(that thing he's stomping is an AI-generated enemy)

Vigilante Vance, a crazed redheaded man based somewhat on Wario, stomps an AI-generated creature into the ground while making two V symbols with his hands.

Breaking: Text messages of Young Republican groups across the country have just been leaked.

They talk about putting Democrats in “gas chambers,” attacking “Jews,” calling Black people “watermelon people,” calling to “rape” their enemies, and bringing back slavery.

Context: I noticed shortly after my latest opinion piece a few days ago that I lost a few followers and I just now found out they’re artists I respected.

I lost the plot of this account and fell back into old Twitter habits. No more of that.

I need to stop posting opinion pieces and get back to sharing art already.

My opinions only seem to drive people away.

“Cineastes” are fake mad because Chloe Zhao understands the tension between art and commerce.

Thankfully it is a vocal minority as always.

It was not very long ago that I learned this (not that I was excused what he did, I was more than fine judging him on the morals of today), so I think it bears repeating often:

Even in his day Christopher Columbus was considered a bloodthirsty and cruel monster.

Andrew D Thaler @drandrewthaler.bsky.social · 2d

You don't have to judge Columbus by the standards of today. His tenure as governor of Hispaniola was so horrific that he was dragged back to Spain in chains to answer for his many crimes.

Plus he never set foot on any land that would ever be a part of the United States of America.
