The passage of time has been declared problematic

It’s even funnier how the Naruto storyline is even older than a lot of these people.

Guys, is Time™ a pedo for aging people up?

[A tweet reading, “The newest discourse from minors on tiktok: the author of Naruto was sexualizing him by aging him up in order to get married and have a son.”

Attached is a tiktok thread reading: 1: That’s what the creator of naruto did … he aged him up to do hinata and have a kid. 2: ant that’s weird!!!

Another twitter user adds, “We went from “only the author can age them up” to “not even the author should do that.” Not even Mario can traverse this pipeline.“]

at my sketchbook. straight up “drawing it”. and by “it”, haha, well. let’s justr say. Nothing

Originally I just wanted to draw Mikey and Klunk… but then things escalated….

Got sick and was watching some 2003 and got to “The Journal” (episode 13, season 6) and couldn’t help but laugh at the lengths that not one but two Master Splinters have gone to teach their dumb boys lessons.

(I’m sure there are more examples in other shows but these two REALLY stuck out to me 🤣)

Sorry not sorry 🐀

Nothing cohesive today, just assorted doodles

Day 3: Favorite Henchman

The Dark Turtles are a few of my fav henchmen of the tmnt franchise (also I’ve been wanting to draw them since forever ago)

forever upset because they didn't show us any art by leo

Taking notes mostly for me but also for some friends about the efficacy of marketing online!

I think artists (myself included) generally operate as if people who WANT to support us will find our patreons and stores and ko-fis, and we feel really bad about putting ourselves out there more.

so as an artist who mostly markets "passively" in pinned posts, maybe a post once a month, etc, I'm curious to see for myself and for other artists how well (or poorly) this has been working.

Alright now that this quick poll is over...

Artists

You have to advertise yourselves more (myself included)

This is some tangible proof that people do not know ways to support you even exist unless you tell them

Sure, this poll is probably skewed... Towards the most active members of my audience who see most of my posts! not even 30% of the people who voted KNOW that I have a patreon. And these people are likely also readers of my comics! Which have a small patreon icon at the end of every update!

If your promo isn't obvious and frequent, most people will miss it entirely.

So please, share your posts more! I promise people aren't just avoiding you, they want to support you but many of them probably don't even know they can!

i liked secrets in the dark a normal amount (lie)

it's true and you should say so louder
