for anyone new to fandom/unfamiliar with how art com/ms work: NO artist worth trusting with your money is going on AO3 and pretending to be interested in fics to bait folks into comming them. this is different than being linked genuine fanart someone made freely of your work.

There's the "I want shorter games worse graphics not kidding etc etc" phrase, how about "I want artists to be able to make mistakes and make weird unappealing shit sometimes and not starve"

I think it's really important to keep imagining a better world. And that doesn't just mean wishing on a star aww how sweet, that means remembering that the way everything is shit right now is not written into immovable law. That means checking self and not believing so hard in the now as the always
