@LeDiva Not really my style. Ever seen the film classic Troll? They'll come down here to clean up after the con and it'll just be a luminous, silent forest, full of mysterious spiderwebbed statues of Patreon executives...

patreon, pepper*, and professionalism 

Great job, guys. I feel so confident about you people handling the subtle details of our financial affairs.

Those who can't do, monetize.

Q: "Hey, I got accidentally tagged as adult, and that took only one day, it took me over a month to get it deal with, and you STILL haven't told me how it happened. You know, it really disrupted my income during a difficult peri..."

A: "Pobody's nerfect!"

Yeah, I'm done with this bullshit expo.

Summary of the "Getting Paid" panel:

Q: "Don't you have a moral obligation not to do the work of totalitarian governments like Turkey by deplatforming their journa..."

A: "Ha, ha, it's a crazy world, isn't it!"

Q: "Okay, but what are you going to do about people skimming content and then doing a credit chargeba...?"

A: "Focus on the positives! You 'creatives' are awesome!"

Submitted w/o comment, except to notice that I also saw a sign lying around for moderator use that read "1 Minutes" [sic].

@Phorm *tears up a little bit-- I miss those two SO MUCH* <3

re: freakin' ponies 

@Phorm *rants at you for six hours about the anti-ponybug prejudices of the hateful Celestian Regime, including numerous daguerrotypes of so-called "Princess" Luna with angry red circles and arrows drawn on them, "proving" she's secretly being funded by Megan from G1-- the George Soros of the Chrysalis-loyalist world*

Now you know the truth. *nod* 🦄​🐞​💚​


re: freakin' ponies 

@imetagon@dragon.style I'm just curious how the hell Rarity knows about Blade Runner. O_o

re: uspol; celebrities who don't suck 

(It's also nice that it's essentially the story of a Wacky Arrested Adolescent Bro who learns to grow the fuck up, listen to women, be sensitive, and put other people's needs ahead of his own, while still remaining fundamentally masculine and wacky...)

uspol; celebrities who don't suck 

Chelsea is my medium-duration personal savior. It's weird how many of the the 9-9 crew are vocally The Good Guys in real life. (On top of this, Stephanie Diaz is openly bi and a vocal supporter of queer causes, and Terry Crews has come out pretty bravely about his history as a male sexual assault victim.)

This is just part of why <s>Tolerant Liberal Cop Fantasy</s> Brooklyn Nine-Nine is one of my favorite shows on network TV.

freakin' ponies 

Okay, I have some negative associations with <s>the Equestrian menace</s> MLP these days (*flitter* *hiss*), but... this comic is just freakin' adorable.

SPOILER: I love that Flutters appends "please" to her command lines. ^__^

uspol; mischief 

This is a FANTASTIC idea. womenshistoryscotland.org/tag/ (A suffragette followed #@#$!# Churchill around and rang a bell every time he tried to speak.)

You know... it's 100 years later. We have far better options for creating loud nuisances on the sly. Is there any way we could start, I don't know, implanting really loud, really small Bluetooth speakers in every venue Trump is likely to show up in, and just have them go "WAAAAAAAAAAUGH" whenever the bastard opens his mouth?

patrecon (~), very mild Parallax thematic spoiler 

Aww, Peg missed the one panel she was actually looking forward to, the ONE that was actually run by somebody in our medium.

Meanwhile, I've looked at all today's panels and decided they're Just Not For Me. So I'm contentedly ensconced by their power outlet tower, working on Chapters 2 of Px.

It's gonna get weird, folks. We finally hit on a common theme for the next installments: biological infiltration. Pod people, represent... 🌀_🌀

patreocon (+); doom (mild) 

I don't know who this weird ambitious extrovert person in my shower is, but she's talking up a storm about asking other comic artists how to get Patreon to notice us, and it's kinda sexy as hell. Shit, if we hurry, I might actually have a comics career before the apocalypse.

tiger politics 

"I'm NOT a centrist, dammit, just because I like eating one liberal and one conservative at every meal. Y'all just pair well."

patrecon, cw: profound misanthropy (~) 

We bailed early. This was probably a real good idea. If my misanthropy meter gets much higher than it was, it tends to trigger my Kaiju Tiger Battle-Snark limit break. -_-

We can't have nice things, y'all. It's encoded in the human neurolinguistic structure. Our attachment to lazy-ass intellectual shorthands ruins everything we do.

Wrap your affairs up fast, fellow monkeys. And I don't know, maybe buy some good assembly puzzles for your local raccoons.

Just learned Prince Lír from the Rankin-Bass Last Unicorn was Jeff "The Dude" Bridges.

Mind. Blown.

Horn. Shattered.

Get. The. <s>Changeling.</s> Pony. Glue.

re: patrecon (-), caps, frustration with moderates 

@hummingrain I think it's unwildly untangential and you seem like someone with whom I would very much like to have a long discussion about this over coffee sometime. <3

(genuine) wisdom from Patrecon/birdsite 

Okay, I think I'm back to liking Laurie Penny again. This is a very important sentiment.

(For the record, yes, I can be a right Evil Schoolmarm against people who are doubling down on something ignorant... but I'll go well out of my way to thank and encourage someone who checks the facts and went "whoops, heh, no, I blew it...")
