People don’t like to admit it bcs cringe or w/e but Homestuck really did revolutionize the webcomic as a storytelling medium and I am endlessly frustrated that before webcomic artists could really stretch our legs fucking webtoonz swooped in, set a new, more restrictive standard, and then monetized and monopolized the ever living fuck out of the concept of The Webcomic until it drove away anyone who couldn’t be a professional quality manga artist for free, and now the only webcomics that actually feel like spiritual successors to Homestuck are so obscure they’re basically cult classics that you have to beg people to read.
Like it’s just so wild to be in high school and see Homestuck be like “we’re using like fifteen different artistic mediums to tell this story bcs we can” and be really fucking inspired by that, only to grow up and see basically every webcomic ever have to conform to One Single Standard or fucking perish.
Actually, I realized my real point here: we all need to make our art weirder. Please make weird art. I want more stuff like Prequel Adventure and 17776 and MyHouse.wad and I want it now. Capitalism thrives on conformity. We must be weird at all costs.
Can’t let British people have air conditioning because first they’d call it something twee like “the climate fixer” and then in 20 years they’ll call it “the climb” or “the climmy”
French kids would call it “le climot”, frustrating language officials who would prefer they call it “machine pour le contrôle du climat froide à l'interieure de l'édifice”
Every bit in the Silmarillion is like “And then Frenulum who was the son of Weenus committed a dozen war crimes and died of sadness” and it’s fucking great
leave frenulum alone, he’s just upset about his jewelry :’(
In d&d land, my firbolg druid Silas Lockhart found his long-lost parents after being kidnapped as a toddler, and learned he isn’t a firbolg after all, but a Lunar Beast! Which, in this game, means he can transform (like his parents can) into several different forms based on their innate associated animal. Silas, the lost lamb, now has the ability to change into a powerful ram creature, swift and tanky and able to protect his allies with a variety of new powers. Hot damn!
