Listen I do not care if this is the author's barely disguised fetish, if they're good at their damn job it will be MY barely disguised fetish while the story lasts and perhaps afterwards

What really happened.
Screenshot of Final Fantasy VII, with Aeris telling Cloud to dress up like a girl in Wall Market. Dialogue has been edited to read: Aeris: "Cloud, why don't you dress up like a girl? Wait, scratch that. Maybe there's anoth-" Cloud: (cutting her off) "It's the only way."

You cannot overstate how startling it is to see a politician just say the thing with clarity and poise. No fearful hemming. No overwrought qualifying down til it’s meaningless. No lingering sense that there is a loyalty to a donor class or an ideology of stasis that they’d never admit to.

Mamdani: "I am in support of abolishing ICE. What we see is an entity that has no interest in fulfilling its stated reason to exist. We're seeing a government agency that is supposed to be enforcing some kind of immigration law, but instead what it's doing is terrorizing people."

You're still on twitter because you think you are on the front lines of the Posting Wars. I'm still on twitter because my favorite artists who draw anime women taking their shoes off after a long day at work have not moved over yet. We are NOT the same.

Okay genuinely, and do NOT go look at the trailer for this. How many teams do you think are in a match of Highguard, and how many players are on each team.

Hey. You know those cute little crow time comics everyone loves so much? That's Isa. That's who everyone is talking about. I think that needed to be made clear since I noticed some confusion and a lot are actually rather unaware of this fact because she's great at separating herself from this.

Ok I've done a big long writeup on my personal experience with Hiveworks on Tumblr: www.tumblr.com/thephooka/80...

TLDR: If you've ever wondered why I never did a Kickstarter for print or got a Hivemill store up, it's not for lack of trying, at least. But I dodged a bullet anyway.

So they're easier to find: Here's Hiveworks staff acknowledging that Xell bought a car with the proceeds for three of their first kickstarters, one of which was ours.
skullamity.bsky.social August Brown 🏳️‍⚧️ @skullamity.bsky.social · 15d
These screencaps are from the last open meeting the Guild had with Hive staff. I left hiveworks not long after this, because it seemed important to get out before the tech staff quit and there was nobody to offboard us. Here are multiple staff members acknowledging that this did happen! (part one)
Screencaps from a discord meeting. Hive Staff A: Isa went to school for artist management, but not specifically for accounting/bookkeeping. I forget what sher exact degree was in. She did have some experience through previous jobs. it was a role she stepped into because there was no one else at the time because of how badly the funds were misappropriated for our first few kickstarters. Yes, we know the car story. Unfortunately, I have lived through it. Hive Staff B: I did NOT know the car story, and as I told Meg Syv, I wanted to scream blood when I found out. Hive Staff A: I had managed to block it from my memory. Non-guild hive artist: hoo boy August: I unfortunately had not. Hive Staff A: That was in the days before we had a warehouse. We were fulfilling Kickstarters from (identifying info cut). I was furious when I found out and so was Isa. It was that incident that led to Isa taking over financials. Non-Guild Hive artist: I remember the fury clearly (and somewhat fondly) ((because there was someone to be furious. good to have [thumbs up emoji])) Hive Staff A (direct reply to August): I think too many things have happened since then both here and elsewhere. Alli Shaw: 1. Could we trouble you to list what happened with the car story from your perspective? I feel like it's relevant to add context for the current situation. Especially if that's what made Isa step into her role. Hive Staff B: From the way she herself explains, it, Xel was under a frankly dumb assumption that she earned some of that money from Yamino's Kickstarter because of a stipend Yamino was being paid under at the time. Hive Staff A (direct reply to Alli Shaw): So our first kickstarters were the first Sister Claire, Go Get A Roomie and August's comic, The End. From what I remember, Xel believed that the proceeds at the end of those kickstarters belonged to her, not to the artists. August: which, to be clear, was a thing she never said to ANY of us, in any capacity. Hive staff A: No. And Isa and I didn't know either. Xel used that money to buy a car, which was used and then was later sold to someone else. Isa was furious because of this and that's the point she took over financials from Xel and ran them until early this year. August: So from my end, I was sending messages being like "hey I need some of the kickstarter money to pay for the books, I need to ship these books out now" and the responses I was getting were basically along the lines of "ohh uhh we can't give it to you all at once, so only ship like 20 books or less per week and we'll send you the money you spent, after you ship them!" and it was so, so sketchy but we were so worn out by then we just wanted it to be over Hive Staff A: I had no clue about that, August. I am so sorry. Shay: Important to note that misappropriation of funds contributed for a specific purpose is known as "breach of trust," which is extremely illegal in Canada at least. American law may differ somewhat but I suspect there is an equivalent there. Hive Staff A: To be clear, this was all back in what....2014? Meaghan (direct reply to August): Fuck me, that's revolting

(2/2) It's like every platform is now running the kinds of ads that even three years ago would have been restricted to porn sites, and I'm not gonna lie, the fact that everyone seems to be getting desperate all at once ain't an encouraging sign!
