so far the only points against going with this site:
the fact you seem to have to Achieve Popularity (or pay them?? unclear) to be able to change your comic to header to a normal banner image instead of whatever horrible color they have designated the genre of your comic (neon purple for fantasy, a color i don’t hate but clashes with almost every palette i use)
the fact they have a star rating system, which i really wish i could disable since its only function seems to make you feel pompous when it’s highish and shitty when it’s lowish, both of which have happened to me in the several hours since i experimentally published. I’m not against review systems but this TELLS ME NOTHING, because all scores are mashed into an average, and for all i know the high ratings are because i appealed to someone’s very specific spider tf kink, and the low ones are because my comic doesn’t feature pretty anime girls and Tolkien races. Giving text options for reviews would be immensely more helpful than a single star score.
I want to try something. Reblog if you would play a video game with a transgendered/gender-fluid main character or openly trans characters of any kind.
The reason why Samurai Jack takes place in the future is very interesting and now that the fifth season is coming out on Adult Swim, funny in retrospect.
Director Genndy Tartakovsky wanted Samurai Jack to be a cartoon tribute to the Samurai movies he used to watch and was fond of, but there was a problem in the way. The problem wasn’t a creative problem or legal issues, but a problem of censorship.
Those Samurai movies were very very violent. People often had their limbs cut off, and blood was sprayed everywhere. Something that in a children’s cartoon could never happen.
Genndy’s solution was to find a loophole in the censorship and set the show in the future. Because while human guts and blood was unacceptable, robots and aliens being sliced to pieces, with oil, electronics and green goop spraying all over the place, was fine.
And so the plot became that of a time travelling Samurai.
But now, that Jack’s fifth season is on Adult Swim, where the limitations on blood and violence aren’t in place, the setting becomes somewhat ironic.
why are there so many posts about asexuals being immune to sirens. people. sirens don’t lure you in with sex (necessarily). they sing about whatever it is that you want most. they could sing about mothman or cinnamon toast crunch and guess what then your asexual pirate is fucking dead
this is the only kind of ace discourse i ever want to see on my dash. the only kind. ever again. good job
Do you think the sirens would be grateful that they finally get some variety?
“Oh my god we can finally just sing about pasta thank the fucking gods.”
I’m not asexual but I’m fairly certain sirens would do a far better job luring me into the depths with a song about pasta rather than sex…
I mean.
“WHAT THE FUCK STAY AWAY FROM THE ROCKS.”
“FUCKER THEY SAID THEY HAVE FETTUCCINE CARBONARA AND HOT GARLIC BREAD OVER THERE HANG ON BITCH.”
This is true; Odysseus heard them promising him knowledge of the future. So the next time you see artwork like this:
Remember those sultry naked chicks are saying “We’ll tell you the winning lotto numbers.”
