I always knew Ryan Gosling was a real one after the viner who pretended to feed cereal to him died and Ryan filmed himself pouring a bowl of cereal and eating it in honor of him
I really REALLY hate how comfortable folks have become with just dunking on other peopleโs art in ways that have nothing to do with growth or real commentary other than lol
A few animators for โACROSS THE SPIDER-VERSEโ have came out about unsustainable working conditions that caused approx 100 artists to leave the film
These included demands to redo finished work 5X + potential 11hrs a day for 7 day working weeks.

Do...do people know you can just...not like something...? You don't need to have moral reasons to not love a movie or a book...? You can just...say it wasn't for you...?
Remember when this trend was going around and people were posting the pieces of art that moved them, that comforted or challenged them, that changed their lives? All of those works were made by humans. Humans are irreplaceable when it comes to creative pursuits and storytelling
One of my favorite memories of Kazuki Takahashi was when the creator of Bobobo asked him to draw Yugi in one of the panels for a throwaway gag and Kazuki was just like okay sure
I genuinely think people would get into art more if you understand that you're going to make a lot of bad art before you make good art. OR sometimes you may never make good art AND THATS OKAY. You made a thing out of nowhere. THAT IS A FEAT. THAT'S SOMETHING TO BE PROUD OF
Clever social media:
@Disney
got all their
@disneyplus
properties to reply on the same thread to announce the launch of the Disney+ Twitter handle. All one long convo, each handle on brand.
Just a reminder that working yourself to death as a creator is often glorified, but it isnโt noble and it isnโt smart.
Rest. Take care of yourself. See the world and people around you. I donโt know if your art will be better for it, but that doesnโt matter. YOU will be.
I need NEED folks to understand that you canโt treat real people like your fandom characters. You canโt headcanon about them, you shouldnโt ship them with IRL people.
I'm glad Webtoons has apologized but I just want to say that this kind of attitude that "comics are just a fun lil hobby" is often used to justify underpaying and overworking comic creators and it was really awful to see a major comic company saying such disparaging remarks
Now that Delicious in Dungeon is blowing up online as it should, I am once again begging for Ryoko Kuiโs art book Daydream Hour to come to local stores because LOOK
Junji Ito: โSleep is very important. Everyone get enough sleep. Many manga artists die young and itโs because they donโt sleep. Your best ideas will come to you when youโre sleeping. Please everyone get some sleep.โ
It's so...so weird to me that people treat the existence of non-white, non-straight representation in media as "woke" bait or anything dumb like that when it's just...people existing. Like that's it. They're just there
DO NOT HESITATE TO TELL AN ARTIST OR WRITER OR CREATOR THAT YOU LIKE THEIR WORK. I GUARANTEE YOU IT WILL ENCOURAGE THEM. I carry the kind words some folks have said to me about my art close to my chest
twitter artists genuinely do you like when people comment on your art and tell you they like it? i always just assumed since twitter art tends to have fewer comments that most people prefer only their friends interact
Cried watching this, heartbroken for this person. Many autistics, myself included, have had folks that only loved the version that masked and itโs one of our greatest fears that your true self will never be enough and is too much for the people around you
โThatโs just the way it is. Welcome to real life.โ *clasps hands together and stares at you in fatherly disappointment and concern* but have you ever realizedโฆit shouldnโt be that way?
I think my favorite collectively agreed upon fandom headcanon will always be Legolas is ugly for an elf and Gimli is hot for a dwarf and everyone thinks Gimli is settling for Legolas
Hey fellow depressed creatives! You're not less of a person for having your depression or anxiety hinder you. You are not defined by the expectation of constant art
One of the reasons you should be concerned about Disney owning most of our media empire is that it means they will have a huge say in LGBT rep in many movies and shows, and, considering their track record, itโs kind of hard to have hope
BREAKING: The 3 other officers involved in
#GeorgeFloyd
's killing will be charged with aiding and abetting murder, reports the Minneapolis Star-Tribune.
Derek Chauvin's charge will be elevated to second-degree murder.
Don't mind me, my brain is still stuck on Craig McCracken admitting that he's been trying to pitch original IP to Netflix and being forced to resort to reboots because that's what the industry is more interested in AND HOW FERAL THAT MAKES ME
I just realized why I, a neurodivergent adult, spend hours and hours watching video essays about anything. Itโs because info dumping about subjects you have way too many facts about and care a little too much about is the highest form of love to me
Hey, if your LGBT+ rep only exists by word of mouth and not in the text or action, and you kill them off immediately without development, that's not good rep.
If you think I'm emotional about some little robot in space saying the words "My battery is low and it's getting dark", you're goddamn right let me shed my giant Ghibli tears
Not to be dramatic but Iโll always be bitter that billionaires and millionaires just shrug and donโt use money to solve literally any of the real problems that plague our society
Fight choreographers don't get to choose how their work is shot or edited, but damn if The Witcher doesn't have the most believable/heaviest/best sword fighting I think I've ever seen:
Shoutout to the creators who even in this god forsaken timeline are still making fun stuff and continuing to do art even though everything sucks. Youโre so strong and what you do helps people through this
This is so important!! Itโs kinder to the artists and sets an example for other companies/industries who think crunch is the best way to finish projects
