I have to make provisions...

I'm making sure to set up some display tablets from various companies on my eBay wishlist(nothing refurbished), so in case of emergency, one of my most important digital tools can be replaced WITHIN the US.

Character Proportions

There's a manhwa I'm reading where I am ecstatic that the artist improved the proportions of the characters. This story is a spin-off of the first series.

I won't mention the title or artist, because I loved the story so much, but I can't stand what I call "Brown Hornet" Syndrome - broad neck, shoulders, arms & chest, all of the torso muscular, but then from the waist and downward are like pencils/toothpicks.

It's especially egregious in the US superhero genre and any comic where there are preternaturally strong characters. Now, if the style is cartoonish, exaggerated, I don't mind the "Brown Hornet" look.

But if the art style is semi-realistic, it bothers me enough that the story and plots better be super engaging, or I'm out.

Case in point: my ML, Peter Dunlop, is a former footballer. He was a linebacker. Though this is anthro/furry, a little cartoonish with some manga aesthetics, I need him proportioned. I need ALL my OCs proportioned, regardless of body types. Or, moreso because of real-life body shapes.

I Will Fight

A friend spoke on the Rump Regime and what harm they are doing, but, emphasized to do no violence and vote people out. 

Here was my response, just so you know, my opinions:

I agree with you on many points in this, -------. But to someone who also grew up in a family who studied and respected history, to vote is not enough. As a Black American. As a Caribbean-American, as a woman. As someone who has been considered "the new kid" and outsider most of my life, I know the power of voting, but I also know that violence is needed with bullies because it is the only language they understand. For people that see me and other marginalized folks, like you, as less than human, I take the rhetoric from WWII in the face of fascism. I will do my civil duties, but when there comes a time to fight, I mean, really use it, I take what I see happening in Myanmar, Burmese youth, joining indigenous people as rebels against their military junta. What has been happening in Indonesia, the Phillipines, and Nepal, and recently with ICE in California... When peaceful protests can only reach so far, we must use civil disobedience, even rebellion, because protests that do not push back against the machine is simply performative, and civil rights undone and made "illegal" requires a FIGHT. I understand what you're saying, but when human rights and civil liberties and nazism puts us in danger, I must be like Christ, the real bronze-skin and wooly-haired immigrant, must weave my whip together and turn over the tables of those who exploit us. And as your Jewish ancestors, I must pray and put my feet/action to my prayers.

Sorry, but I like what I like

Love how, as I'm learning to create more in Canva, sell on Ko-fi and in Gumroad, Clip Studio Paint ads have been quietly presenting themselves in whatever YouTube channel I'm currently watching. No thanks. My FireAlpaca is serving me just fine! It requires NO SUBSCRIPTIONS and has CONSISTENT UPDATES. And it's easy for me to learn and use! 

September, Baby!

It's my birth month, and I'm in my late 40s... An age bracket I never thought I'd reach in a thousand years. I've been sickly since I was a baby. I developed chronic conditions over time. I've suffered several health scares and have had near-death experiences to last me several lifetimes. I'm grateful.
