Staff's Getting A Little Too Silly For Their Own Good. They Think They're Our Buddies. "oh Look We Put

The only thing I need tumblr to do is to get like... cool with the idea you can hire people here to do commissions for you and to like.. consider monetary support for artists cuz one of the reasons and the biggest reason I moved to twitter in the first place is because people there buy my art. I make a living there doing art. And the vibe here is **we don't do that here** If you want artists to be here and do art you gotta be okay with the concept of artists trying to make money. I hate capitalism as much as the next person but I'm also 30 years old living with my fucking parents because I can't pay for a 1 bedroom apartment. Artists are not 'big business'. We're not Disney. We're just people trying to make a living or some money for groceries and shit.

Piece I did last year for @daggerarcadia the FFXIV Art Bash on Twitter! Posting it here now too!

If terror is the feeling of dread and apprehension at the possibility of something frightening and horror is the shock and repulsion of seeing the frightening thing, name a time your character has been terrified and a time they were horrified. How did they deal with these emotions? Was the terror, for example, unfounded, or the horror too much?

A time your character was terrified

I make a lot of "Sena's dead boyfriend" jokes, but the moments leading up to that were pretty much exclusively this. He doesn't know where his friend went, anticipates the worst, and then something he's been scared of up to that point actually happens.

For things that happen in-story, he has a few of these, but being left alone in Ultima Thule really freaks him out.

More under the cut! Contains full spoilers for Endwalker.

A time they were horrified

THIS ONE WAS ACTUALLY SUPER HARD TO ANSWER.

I want to say the massacre early in ARR, which got to him pretty bad; he starts to come out of being an "I only care about this one person" type edgelord, he starts getting along more with people, and then those people die and he goes right back to that.

Also slightly unusual one, but the combination of dragoon and having issues with his scales makes the conversation with Vrtra deeply unpleasant for him in a way that isn't quite horror, but comes close.

How did they deal with these emotions? Was the terror, for example, unfounded, or the horror too much?

Sena tends to deal with his negative emotions in general by covering them with anger and then not actually dealing with them, but even moreso when he's scared. Him wanting to be strong is an extension of this; he wants to protect his friends, but also, if he can fight it, he has agency in the situation.

Complete silence stops him in his tracks, though.

ArtFight attack for acverg on Twitter!

i hate you rushed endings, i hate you final books split into multiple part movies for profit, i hate you unwarranted series cancellations and crunches, i hate you adaptations that completely disregard the source material, i hate you studios forcing writers to limit representation/diversity in the final product, i hate you rushed releases causing poor quality and exploited workers, i hate you devaluation of film as a product rather than a story to be shared with the world, i hate you outrageously low animator salaries.

I’m alive! Kind of! I keep forgetting to update places that aren’t the bird website.

I made this instead of working on OC Refs

Love video games with endings that make you feel like your brain’s gotten permanently rewired in some sort of way

@khepri-sunscale and I wanted to get started on Au Ra August early and put together a prompt list just in case! Feel free to use if you feel inspired!
