Tonkable-art - Kat Pickford

If the HBO Max shitshow teaches us anything at all, it should be that when it comes to streaming media, media piracy is media preservation.

Physical media is harder to erase. Download your favorite animated shows today. Burn that shit to DVD and share it with your friends. If the corporations won't produce physical media, it's up to us to do it ourselves.

Streaming exclusives are the enemy of media preservation and archiving. Nothing should be lost just because corporations don't respect the art they own. When piracy is the only option, it becomes vital to pirate, lest things get lost forever.

There are instances of lost media being found again because someone home-taped it. The torrent you seed, the episodes you download, could one day be the only reason your favorite streaming show wasn't lost forever.

Art is being destroyed. Workers are being exploited and abused. And at the end of it all, what's there to show for it? Nothing, because HBO Max is setting the precedent that you can just delete whatever you want, whenever you want, and not even tell the artists.

Animation workers aren't being respected as artists OR as workers, and shit like this is a perfect example.

Inktober 15 - Fae Gift

Will you accept it?

✍️ Of the supporting characters, who's POV would you be most interested in reading?

I say this with my whole chest:

CAMILLA HECT

Not only has she been in every book so far (more than the protag's even), she is smart and quiet about it. I want to know her feelings going to the First. I want to meet the bitterness she feels when "Dulcinea" does not know the Sixth. I want to find her grief for Palamedes and hold it gently in my hands.

Even more, I want to know her side of the story in HtN; how did BoE come to trust them enough to take Nona and go rent a place, what happened between Judith, Corona and Camilla when they lost Gideon's body, how Camilla came to trust Pyrrha. Camilla's reaction to Palamedes suddenly being able to take over her body and how they figured it out.

I want an in-depth description of her emotional breakdown when Palamedes offers their version of Lyctorhood up to her and she bursts into tears on the spot. I want to know her last thoughts as her and Pal's souls merge.

Our Lady Of The Passion, love of my life <3

In light of recent twitter news, this place is becoming my main social for now!

For anyone new, my spam account is @chewsoap and I throw most of my reblogs and random little thoughts there so it doesn't totally clog and hide my art and update posts here, so I would really appreciate a follow there too! :)

I also have an Instagram that I'm relatively active on, granted less active until 2023 on everything for now (I'm burnt out and need a break). I also have a Ko-Fi you can follow me on (no donation needed, I do plan to use the gallery in 2023)!

Year of the Rabbit 🐰 I bought lino a year ago to make bookmarks because I missed the process of it. I haven't used lino since 2015/16 and I'm honestly surprised at how well these came out. I'm a little obsessed 🧡
