i honestly have such a fascination with the intersection of internet culture and social norms. obviously they’re going to be driven primarily by teenagers since social currency is much more valuable at those ages, but it’s still interesting to have seen most of the evolution of the internet until now. the idea that casual internet use – which used to be almost exclusively for losers and weirdos and nerds – has such a capricious and fickle sense of fashion with an intensity that borders on ethical is funny to me
“millennials are cringe” damn right im cringe i didnt survive being a teenager so that i could continue policing myself out of being happy
Another little water colour sketch, this time featuring Bella from Animal Crossing. I picked them because this felt like a great character to get used to doing more subtle and tighter controlled washes/layering like their cheeks and the cool shadows.
The problem with dystopian satirical fiction is that it's too real nowadays. You can sit around coming up with an idea for a short story but it just ends up being something like "DraftKings Jr: Sportsbooks for little leagues" and then you start to get terrified the silly idea you just had will actually become real in under 5 years
The #solarpunk people are on the right track I think with the idea of writing utopian fiction instead because it's genuinely more bold to imagine things actually being good. We're all cynical now so actually envisioning something worth fighting for is the real bitter pill we need now and not depresso wallowing in our pessimism.
The real opportunity I think is in the liminal space between the two. Write about a revolution in progress and the sorts of conflicts between now and what we want by 2050 or so.
hot take: the "egg prime directive" is horseshit, and it is actually really good to talk to your friends about gender
videos that feature on screen code writing which add keyboard clacking sound effects should be illegal and punishable by immediate destruction
