Vanessa and Friends

@vanessadementa.bsky.social

Eldritch witch, mischief maker, makes a good clamato. Class, sass, and a whole lot of ass~ Now with all of her silly and whimsical friends~ intothevanessaverse.com

👓: Every so often I see a job opportunity related to the government, currently related to CBP as a writer/editor for $100000 annually. Knowing the quality of employees they have, I might even be overqualified. They can kiss my ass anyway. I have standards, damn it.

👓: I'd like to think that if Vanessa had a guest cameo in a game or something, it'd be shitpost level antics. Like she would not fit in with the aesthetic at all, deliberately due to her personality. And the occasional Deltarune stock explosion effect would be there too

👓: The second script is going well so far and it has a bunch of jokes that seem to be landing well. You wanna see it? Help the show get to $30000 funding so I can pay an animator team to make this stuff, then. Seems manageable.

👓: Anyway I'm still here, just...chugging along. None of the services I've contacted have gotten back to me yet about either animation, making plushies, or other production to get physical items into the hands of potential backers. Casting calls are rather dry too. Hmm.

👓: Well, that's curious. Seems that one of my followers (and one that I follow in turn) had her account hacked by one of those "help for my family" things. Right. Because that's how one knows it's legit. By hacking another user. Hopefully she can get access back as soon as possible. Be wary, guys

👓: Hey, casting call! Still need a few voices for the show in general, mostly for that one skit to encourage excitement. (Unpaid work) Three characters, the first being Van, Vanessa's femboy variant. Sassy, a heavy prankster, a bit of a little shit but in a funny way. I have one VA in mind but...

👓: Been considering taking up commission work...but I also may have to raise prices to match the commitment. Unfortunately by a decent amount. We're talking .05 cents per word, or $50 for 1000 words (economy). My usual routine would still be true, though: not a dime extra until 500 words are hit.

👓: Still alive, just trying to center myself a bit after a bad bit of anxiety and depression that I really should see about getting treated at some point. In the meantime, while I wait for more progress on the pilot, I've pulled out another script and am working on that.

👓: Still working on the self but I'm just tired in general and the effort I have been making lately is not worth what I'm getting back, so I'm gonna be quiet for a while and maybe curate who I've been trying to interact with in general. Buckling down on the show. If I can.

👓: Been trying to rest and unwind a bit to mentally improve. Kinda difficult when the aspect of "I am actively being ignored repeatedly" that flows in my head as an irrational thought is fed by being rejected from another job three days after applying and via an automated system. Shit sucks, bro.

👓: Been trying to reach out to some folks I know, but I guess they're busy enough that I don't hear anything back at all. And I get it, life is hectic, but still. I dunno. I like getting messages and I try not to let them sit for too long. I always want to be accessible for others

👓: So I mentioned it before, but a lot of my issues stem from the belief that I have to put in a LOT of work to get the same results as someone who lets it come naturally. Socializing is hard. Talking to people is hard. I've gotten better at reaching out but it's *keeping* attention that's harder.

👓: Key roadblock in making this show: my own tendency to be overlooked quite easily. I dunno, not sure if I'm reaching out hard enough or too much or need to do so in a specific way. But outreach is very, very limited at times. Even with my peer groups.

👓: ...Alright, fine, I'll actually write something this week, probably. I finished Mermaid Mask, I'm between major releases. Just a matter of whether what I make is one of my classic stories, or more scripts for the show. Could always take comms again to help fund the show. Or for fun.

👓: Fun fact: despite enjoying many games of the genre (Stardew Valley, Coral Island, Moonlight Peaks, etc), I do struggle with the in-game dating mechanics. Like the idea of the marriage aspects makes me nervous, and it's a video game. 💜: There's a metaphor there~ 👓: I refuse to learn it.

👓: Full disclosure, when the pilot eventually comes out, if I don't get a YTP, I will be disappointed. 💜: We're absolutely gonna wind up with "images"~ 👓: That's a given, but I like the silly videos that poke fun too. ...Oh god, I just realized I might get images. 💜: No you won't. 👓: No I won't

👓: I am once again asking for assistance in finding consistent writing work that lets me escape retail because fuck that noise. I wanna make my show. I wanna entertain people. What I don't want to do is do six jobs at once and wear three different hats while taking home one poverty-level check.
