Weapons auto-sheathing after a certain amount of time when you’re “out of combat” has frustrated me more than once. I didn’t think it would notice it but give how long draw/sheath animations can be for weapons, it’s been annoying.

Every year seemingly, a new conflicting report comes out about FAS and drinking during pregnancy. I would like to see a comparison of these kinds of studies between countries, because the best indicator I’ve seen so far of a health infant population is access to prenatal care. Just knowing that children have X systems…

Depends what you want. If she’s got a close-knit social circle and is comfortable with her life, why change it? She might be at stage in her life where she has no interest in starting over. I’d have no problem picking up and moving to the south of France but my social circle is mostly on the internet, I’m young,…

Or a vast conspiracy of corruption and and favoritism has caused an organised elite ring of furries to win all China’s lotteries.

Bringing Prince collaborators into the performance would have earned him a lot more local love than of projecting Prince on an old bedsheet.

I don’t get why their “friendship” is such a huge sticking point. I have liked most of my coworkers, and even gone out for drinks with them once or twice, but once I moved on to a new job...I moved on to new coworkers. Having good relationships with the people you spend a lot of time with is great and makes for a good…

Nah, she had way better makeup as a witch.

The thrill of being ripped off.

I’ve got a friend who is super into cosplay. She hand casts accessories for costumes, of which she makes about two a year. It’s amazing work, but I have no idea how she finds the time. She’s got that “I don’t need to sleep” gene.

An uncomfortable number of RenFest fairies have told me how corsets are also their fetish. Your opening line should never be, “How does just wearing the corset feel? No, I mean with nothing else on” while attempting to touch a total stranger. Just let me look at the crystals and dragon plushes.

That language also has the insidious side-effect of implying you did not work for your job. This was gifted to you, through no effort of your own, and can be taken away at any time as if you were a spoiled child.

People treating these jobs like golden tickets is a real problem. You’re supposed to be grateful you got this honor. Anyone else would be so happy just for the opportunity. If you want to get ahead, this is what you have to do, there’s no other way, why are you being so difficult? If you’re too fragile to handle it,…

Ok but is the original costume design crew coming on board?

Illustration and design, all for publication. Starting out, I was a studio assistant and I did all the production work on top of a substantial portion of the art produced by the studio and got paid garbage. I didn’t find out how garbage I was paid until much later. I ended up despising where I worked and quit. A few…

I got a day gig a couple years ago after I got burnt out and needed just a nice, steady income stream and the ability to turn down some work that I found truly soul-crushing. Doing that and still freelancing in the evening is super tiring, but I also can’t imagine just stopping illustrating. I miss the pure freelance…

Freelance is feast or famine, it’s instilled in a lot of us to never turn down work, ever, because you don’t know when you’ll work next (especially if you’re just starting out). Doesn’t help that it’s an industry where people like to say, “you should be HAPPY to be doing this at all” and bosses reminding you how…

I’m really into Iceland’s idea where companies are audited and have to justify pay inequalities. I’m fine with other people being paid more because they do things I don’t, just so long as that’s the actual reason.

Fuuuuuuuuuck. Sing it from the rooftops.

I wouldn’t ask anyone to take that risk if they didn’t want to, is hard enough out there. But I would love politicians to make this an issue. Can’t we get those people banging on about the first amendment on this?
