It's Ok To Keep Secrets, Everybody Has Some Skeletons In The Closet. Wraiths In The Attic. Ghosts In

it's ok to keep secrets, everybody has some skeletons in the closet. Wraiths in the attic. Ghosts in the bedroom. Mummy in the kitchen. Enchanted armor on the stairs. Slimes in the basement. Maybe a giant spider in the backyard. Beholder or two in the garage. Vampires are also in the closet

they’re back! MOB PSYCHO 100 season three… coming October 2022

does hatsune miku qualify as a fictional character or is she real. like it's different from, say, gorillaz, cause her entire thing is that she's a robot/computer program/what have you, and also she isn't an alter ego for one specific artist. so by being canonically digital in her lore and also the same thing in real life i don't think she is fictional. my point is when you play games that feature her she is actually talking to you like you are conversing face to face with the actual real hatsune miku and not just her likeness

happy birthday mobby!!!!! season 3 !!!!!!!!!!!

ppl who celebrate fictional character birthdays are annoying pass it on

I didn’t want to put this on the Actual Post, but saw a post going around talking about the evils of Spotify premium and people getting locked into streaming services and paying for things that were once free when they just had like…their own cds and music libraries, and every addition to the post was how to pirate music with not a single mention of…how to support artists one likes in the face of Spotify’s terrible pay structure for musicians.

I’m gonna sound like a wet blanket but as a small creator it’s so tiring to see people uphold pirating media of all kinds as an Objective Moral Good that hurts no one. Like, Disney, Adobe, sure, whatever. But I can guarantee that MOST authors and MOST musicians are not swimming in cash like Disney and rely on people who enjoy their work actually……paying them for it. And it’s a nice thing to do! Art has value! And immediately just jumping to ‘I will pirate this because I can!’ further contributes to the idea that art doesn’t have value and creators don’t deserve a share for their work.

Libraries for instance carry my book. I get paid every time someone checks out the audiobook, and if someone puts in the request for a physical copy at their branch, I get paid for that too. The book is free and accessible to whoever wants to read it, I get a little return for the work and personal money I’ve put into it, and you’re supporting your local library. And with all that, if someone for whatever reason reached out to me and said that they couldn’t afford my book but really want to read it I’d…happily just give them a copy. And I don’t think I’m alone in that. But I would be upset if someone pirated my work without trying those things above.

It’s maybe a little harder with musicians who might be more obscure or new releases, but libraries carry music too (though I don’t know about the ins and outs of it myself)! And if you can in any way support a musician and understandably don’t want to give Spotify money like….find them on bandcamp or something. A lot of artists sell digital and sometimes physical albums there, and sometimes they’re pay what you wish, etc. Bandcamp also has days where they waive their fees so artists get even more of a share for their work.

Corporations like Disney are incomparable to most authors and musicians. Disney will keep churning out its shit. But if you want creators who aren’t huge to keep making the things you love, they need money sometimes. Art has value and creators need to eat and pay for their needs so they can continue to create, sorry!
