ao3 why does it say my fic was last updated the same day it was posted. i updated it just a few days ago why is it saying it's been nearly a month??

you ever got hit in the face by an idea so powerful that you have to draw it immediately?
handsome jack is one of my favorite villains ever (if only they didn't use him so much sobs) and his fucking strangling vs choking speech felt so fucking cordie i had to do it.
had to edit it the lines to fit a bit better, but yknow. it works! also why is it gossan? just a guess at who someone's favorite character is.
i haven't made a paneled, planned comic in forever so don't judge me too hard, ok?
anyway go read @tippertot's warp to me you won't regret it.
Chapter 2 is out!
nobody knows how excited i am about my silly little story about these silly little aliens

Preparing for the final voyage. Drawing the spaceship killed me.

Webtoon's new age rating standards say that a comic can't be rated All Ages if it includes "Fully censored profanity (e.g., #$%^) in a few episodes". Literally more restrictive than 1950s newspaper funnies!

Guys would it be so cool if we made a outer wilds illustration zine in the future it would be so good, please guys-
I think the issue of light pollution really shows just how poorly our current system is built to handle environmental issues. We know light pollution has negative effects on humans and animals. We know how to address it. And because light doesn't stick around like other pollutants, there's nothing to clean up, no lasting damage to address. All we have to do is simply stop producing so much excess light at night and the problem is immediately ameliorated. But because it would cost money to switch over to better lighting systems, because it would make it harder for businesses to advertise their presence to customers at night if they couldn't just blast light everywhere and light up billboards (or even worse, light up drone swarms in the sky), and because there is no direct monetary profit to be gained from this endeavor, it's basically worthless to those in charge.
So it's no wonder so little has been done to address something like climate change, even though the stakes are so much greater and the effects are so much longer lasting. Since nobody wants to bear the monetary burden required to address the issue, all we get are bandaids and half-measures rather than actual solutions. If we want to make actual progress, we need an approach that ignores any question of profitability, and that can't happen under capitalism.
My first Fanfic!
The title: Last Launch (tentatively). And with illustrations to boot! (Still adding those gradually)...

This is the story about how the Greatest Pilot that Ever Was made their big exit, and how it affects those they left behind.
Angsty... for now ...
I don't have an AO3 account yet (working on it), but you can read Chapter 1 here:

Chapter 2 is getting it's finishing touches ::)
If you enjoy reading it, I would be so happy to hear your thoughts!!



more baby gossan and slate, cause im a sucker for these gay fish being tooth-rottingly sweet to eachother
*sighs* Here is my Owlk OC, DIogenes the Hermit!! Holding an eepy Neph <3 Below for info, a doodle, a ref sheet, and whatnot vv


yes the guy ties grass on his antlers

He's a horned owl owlk. Plays the stringed instrument that the owlks have and vibes in his own lil home. He lives alone inside a tree trunk that is decorated with all kinds of different trinkets and objects. Dio is often considered "crazy" and never taken seriously because of the things he says and believes in. Folk tales, adding more magic to his life, weird philosophies that very much don't align with that of the majority ect. He speaks in peculiar ways and never makes much sense. Sooo he just... exists in his own lil house and vibes, playing his instrument and singing. He's content with his life and really, a simple creature. Happy with what little he has. To add onto that, others often don't let him talk to the younger owlks as they're afraid that his words and ideas will corrupt them in some way. No use listening to the crazy person amiright. He might look a little grumpy but hey, after years of getting turned down by your peers makes you like that. But really if someone is kind to him he's very much a nice dude! In his ref sheet it doesn't show but his appearance is often messy. He decorates his antlers and whatever else he can with all sorts of trinkets and hanging jewelry. Crystals, feathers, grass, you name it. And he often doesn't bother to tie his bandages the correct way, feather sticking out of them or them being loose- along with decorating them with beads. Every day he looks a different way! Despite everything, the rest dragged him into joining the choir/band seeing as he plays the instrument really good- but aside that he doesn't have anything else going on. He really doesn't agree with the simulation, as it goes against all his morals about life and death. Some even confuse his name as they're used to only hearing "Dio". Some call him Diogenes, some call him Diomedes, some don't even know his actual name. His thoughts on this is that he doesn't need a name, he calls himself "The Hermit" seeing as he very much is one. Aaand yea... that's pretty much it hsajkdhsajhdsa
best part of my new job is that when i'm not busy (all the time) i can use the computers to write my gay little fanfiction
