Showing it to Emily, who never followed the discourse surrounding the show, is so crazy btw. I’ll go ah! this is the one that made people call Pearl a rapist, this is the one that made people call Rebecca Sugar a pedophile! and it’ll be an episode titled “you should be nice to your friends”
Sarah Z@sarahz.bsky.social · 2mo agoSteven Universe honestly whipped as a show. it’s so funny how mad so many people got specifically because it was baby’s first toxic yuri and people would be like wtf… why are all these lesbians being so toxic to each other… they were doing such insane shit to each other it ruled

IT ALSO MEANS that if someone were to back at the $2500 patron level, they would effectively be supporting TWO NOVELETTES and/or CHAPBOOKS and that would be wild.
We have made our initial goal! Onward to stretch goals! (Also if you are a sick freak that likes video content, please click through to our first update where @pegasusunder.bsky.social has a rad video answering some questions about THESE HOLLOW BODIES)
Neon Hemlock@neonhemlock.bsky.social · 2mo agoLooks like we are one Club Serpentine paperback backer away from meeting our initial goal! www.kickstarter.com/projects/dav...

one of the biggest problems i see with our current society is that we've winnowed down our rewards/values system to the point that Money is the only actual reward/value we've got left. And that fucks people up!!

kind of a half-baked thought here but it's a shame criticism as a paid professional discipline has been sidelined by social media because it could point the way forward out of the internet madness-induced problem of writing that's crouched in what the author anticipates a comments section will say
