I really like what I've read from you but you seem like such an abrasive person personally that I just don't want to buy anything
lol pussy
I'm sorry if this is a silly question, but is there a difference between your substar and patreon? Do you post more on one than the other? Is one in general just a better platform for you as a creator? Thank you
the only difference is that the older archive on substar is consolidated into fewer posts bc it was easier to like. post ten chique images in one post than to make a new post for every one. but they've had total parity for like a year now, so unless you go back really far it won't be an issue. as for cut, honestly i have so few people on substar compared to patreon that i've never bothered to withdraw what i earned. i don't actually know the percentage difference lmao. go with whichever one you feel more comfortable with, you'll get the same experience
do you think butches perpetuate toxic masculinity the same way men often do?
i think anyone on earth is capable of perpetuating toxic masculinity regardless of sex or gender dog. that's called living in a patriarchal society. i'm not going to give a dissertation on one particular group to which i do not belong
tourmaline looks SO cutes in that newest promotional image. it's nice to see her just enjoying her day
she canonically reads sexy books so she felt like the best pick for this years promo :)
objects of affection seems absolutely amazing but holy crap i cant read it because my hyperempathy will go ballistic wild. a lot of your stuff is too GOOD and thusly too EMOTIONALLY AFFECTING for me to read and partake in but i just want you to know that i think its super great amazing and if i COULD enjoy them i would be absolutely slobbering over all of it
well. i hope you're seeking treatment/management techniques because that's really sad you have to deny yourself things you know you would enjoy
Kind of dumb question, but what do you use to make these books? I want to make one for myself and I’m assuming one of the well known writing programs for that bit but when adding the illustrations how do you go about that? Same program?
i just slap them in google docs babie. it is awful but it works for my needs. and then a friend fixes the formatting issues in the epub version using sigil.
just watched Guys and Dolls like u suggested. I am remiss to use a word that has been so widely employed in regressive contexts but... that's some grade-A degeneracy right there
it's a very good documentary. you can read my full thoughts on it on tumblr, but it informed a fair bit of my thinking on how andorids/sexbots what have you would be received by society
do you have a favourite of the three stories you wrote for objects of affection?
i'm fond of touma's toy for yaoi reasons but samart's sweetheart is the Best one, imo
this will probably be addressed in the book, but is your position that androids (or sexbots) would be unethical?
have you ever seen the documentary "Guys and Dolls" about real dolls and men who own them? i highly recommend watching it, it's free on youtube
ahhh from the teaser you posted for OoA, Touma referring to wanting Mari-ko to have big drills and blue eyes, is that supposed to be a reference to marinette? :o or am i just reading too far into it in my excitement lol...
lol the book isnt even out and yall are catching my little details. yes that's supposed to make you think of marinette, though i'd expected it to be a "notice on the second read" sort of thing
As a lesbian fan I'm so happy to see you write f/f !!!
i hope you enjoy it despite the horrors!
Sooooo excited for objects of affection and am also very excited for your first f/f piece! Stone lesbian characters aren’t ones I see depicted very often, I highly look forward to her—especially in juxtaposition with the themes you seem to be focusing on for this book!
she is a Piece of Work. but i'm fond of her, she was the first. and out of all of them she probably went through the most revisions to get right. i hope you enjoy her
might be late to the party here but are all the robots in your new book the same like. “”base model”” or?
looking forward to this one :3
they're all mari-ko!
do you have any strategies when it comes to picking color palettes, or rather how you decide the hierarchy of colors? you have phenomenal color sense!! i kno for a lot of artists its all vibes tho so if not i understand :'D thank u for all the work you do!
honestly a lot of my color palettes are pre-made gradient maps i got off the clip studio asset store, or edited from the presets. what works and what doesn't Is largely vibes based on complementary/tertiary colors, accents, and value. value is a huge thing people don't think about with color but it makes a big difference and if you're like me, whose art is all grayscale under the gradient maps, you have Got to understand value to make it work.
Sorry if this sounds ignorant but what’s Stone?
broadest definition is a lesbian who doesn't want to be touched during sex. there's variations for butch and femme and i don't think it's necessarily All touch or just certain areas, but that's the general idea.
