BT Bigelow @ GOBLIN MARKET

@btbigelowart.bsky.social

35-year old cis white woman (she/her only). Part-time bird, full-time (or mostly full-time) artist. Free Ukraine and Palestine I post my art here! (And also socialism/feminism.) Multiship and multifandom. Minors begone from this realm

These screencaps from a friend's Discord server sum it up nicely. TLRD: because corporations are EXPECTED to fuck up at this point, people have FAR higher standards for indie creators -- especially queer women since they make up most of said creators. To these folks, queer art MUST be perfect.

it's weird how The Lovers and Lesbian Space Princess, and also Princess Guinevere and IDWTBAMG, indie/indie adjacent projects by small teams creating stories about queer women, are all getting shat on left and right by progressive animation fans for every possible fault it's just weird. weird!!!

Almost all right-wing conspiracy culture stems from them being incurious and averse to critical thinking, so they encounter something like this, skip right past the idea a sneaker company could do a varying tread for different areas of the foot, and determine it's the Matrix/illuminati/Jewish plot.

Uhh why do my Vans have the Seal of Solomon embedded into them

[Attached is a photo of the bottom of a Vans sneaker, showing a grid pattern embedded in the rubber. At points, the pattern widens and in places this creates five-pointed stars.

you don’t understand… the finale of digital circus is about how Jax is a BAD GUY. and they never did enough NICE stuff to make up for their MEAN STUFF. they didn’t do any redemption arcs or heroic sacrifices, which makes them BAD AND EVIL… i’m not catholic btw i just need all of my media to be.

So much of government spending works like this. The USDA has a fireworks budget, which sounds really stupid until you learn that they shoot said fireworks at birds so they don't flock near airports and cause deadly bird strikes

I saw Marjane Satrapi speak about her work at Smith College 19 years ago, and she said something I have thought about and taught ever since when I teach comics. “I draw what I can’t write and I write what I can’t draw.“

an addendum, i dont want to only make low poly games for the sake of nostalgia either. i think its genuinely a fun and interesting way to engage in the medium of 3d, it's a limiting, minimalist abstraction that forces you to make interesting decisions. i love placing every vert by hand. it's fun!

im obviously biased. i made a low poly game. i will continue to make low poly games. not all of my games will be low poly, god willing, but if i ever make one that has photorealistic pbr mocap characters, strike me down because i have been replaced by a skin walker.
