Hi, I'm Chu (they/them)!

⭐ Slightly Damned is my award-winning webcomic that I've been updating since 2004: sdamned.com

🐾 I sell cute animal shirts, pins, and other goodies under my RAIZAP label at cons & online: chu.storenvy.com

🐍 Sometimes I post kinky art, but I always tag it as # spicystuff!
Kaitou Kid showed up at the museum gift shop and disappeared before I could ask to take his photo. A magical encounter 🎩✨

For the record, I get most of my stickers from Sticker Ninja. Their colors are vibrant, their glow in the dark stickers are really bright, and they’re durable enough to remain unscathed after multiple trips through the dishwasher. Really great customer service, too!

I stopped using sticker mule absolute ages ago because of the owner’s bullshit. The owner is still on his bullshit, so if you use sticker mule, maybe don’t. StickerAPP is a good alternative, and also there’s most likely a local sticker printer near you (Sticker Ninja in Portland, for example).
The latest move by Sticker Mule's owner. Please don't give these people your money (or honestly send them your artwork, you never know).

The Tottori Sand Dunes were pretty amazing! We walked all the way up to the top of the big one in the first two photos to get a good look at the Sea of Japan

By the way, I have been keeping up with the pencils of my Japan travel diary comics. The vacation has been too much fun to actually finish them, but I’ll get to it when I can! Here are the stickers I’ve collected for my journal so far; the single Bellibolt on the last one was so sad lol

I’m still reading through this but 4th point is crazy to me! I applied to hiveworks twice and checked in the first time after they went past their date estimate and was ghosted ever since (lol), but one time Isa posted on twitter “if you want advice on how to get an agent you can dm me” so I did

RE: Hiveworks stuff, it's become really clear is how much of the toxicity of the leadership came from seeing fellow artists as competition and threats rather than comrades who lift each other up.

The world is big enough for all of us. I hope we can work together and fight our real enemy (fascists)

I was very grateful to have joined Hiveworks ~10 years ago. They helped SD get a shiny new website and managed the Kickstarters for my books. Things were good… until they very suddenly weren’t.

I managed to avoid most of the problems in part due to ignoring being assigned an editor lmao (1/7)

one more thing: this is not a "call-out post" or a harassment campaign aimed at those named. it's a statement of fact and warning of behaviour. do not seek them out and harass them. i would prefer you did not seek them out, period
along with this letter and its warnings please consider this additional takeaway: if something feels off, if you feel disrespected or stonewalled or exploited--talk to your peers about it. it's very likely you aren't alone. and thank you for reading.

Big thanks to @fumpy.bsky.social who showed us a great time in Marugame tonight! We ate bone-in chicken, went thrift store shopping, and learned that Marugame Seimen (a cafeteria-style udon chain with international branches) isn’t even from Marugame?! It’s stolen valor???

Friendship ended with Nakano Broadway. Now Otakara Ichibankan is my new best friend

All you have to do is go all the way to Shikoku and somehow get someone to drive you in a car to drive you there. Simple
