What’s everyone reading and writing this weekend? I’m still taking things slowly, but I’m continuing to get a little written everyday. I’ve also been trying to read more Hazbin Hotel comics, not on Youtube, but everywhere wants an account these days and I don’t have the spoons.
I’ve successfully finished all the pages for my latest PMD oneshot! It’s nice to have something all finished and queued to post so I no longer have to think about it. (also funny that I got it done before that event LeGaosaure had shared last week. will need to find something else to fit into that instead!)
I’m also starting to fall hard into the Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss stuff too. Been teaching myself how to draw the characters and wishing I could share some online because I’m super pleased with how they are coming but since this is a new fandom that exploded it means those who love/hate it are out in full force. I’m not in the mood to have to navigate around fans who ignore basic research and I’m not in the mood to deal with haters who can’t do basic research.
Which my brain should find ironic. I’m in other fandoms where the blind love/hate is equally insane. But. But in general even people who hate Nintendo’s very existence do not accuse Nintendo fans of being pro-slavery despite Nintendo legally gifting themselves indentured servitude in freaking 2020s (for those who do not know, look up the Gary Bowser case).
Because most people have not heard about that. And this is kind of my point. Men getting away with literal slavery in public doesn’t invoke massive online screaming. However a bi hispanic woman who creates a successful franchise with characters of so many minorities and hires minority creators to help make it -doesn’t have a squeaky clean background- means no one can be normal about this.
And just. VivziePop has things she should be accountable for. But how can accountability be asked for when the people who were actually hurt are downed out by complete lies?
I don’t want this post to be entirely negative. I don’t like that most of my posts have been that as of late. But not sure were to go with this. Hazbin stuff has been making me laugh and smile harder than I have in a very long time. I’m a sucker for drama-queen characters so flawed its a miracle they haven’t died via choking on their own saliva.
