told my cousin I make art for a living and she legit asked me if she too could make some easy cash on the side online

Originally posted by rafa-starkiller

i posted this to complain and rant, as is my right to do on my blog. what makes you think they wanna grow?? they want easy money and think making art is the way to do that. and it’s not and that’s not what they wanted to hear, they just thought I’m gatekeeping the secret to free cash lol

the level of projection here is unreal lol my cousin has a full time job and three small kids, can barely even use a computer and her online/social media activities are limited to Facebook only, she can’t communicate in English, she knows nothing about art and is not interested in learning any of these things because “she hasn’t got the time”

tell me again how i should “help her grow”? I’ve taught myself pretty much everything i know and she’s free to do better than I’m doing if she’s willing to put in the time and work and dedication into it

living off your art is not an “easy money side job”

making art for me was always about loving to make art. being able to do it for a living only came as an unexpected but fortunate side effect of loving something enough to never give it up

PSA: bot comments are taking over ao3

The above examples have been provided with the authors’ permission to demonstrate what these look like.

Basic rundown:

• They are all 3 sentences long
• Perfect grammar, capitalization, and punctuation
• Like absolutely flawless English teacher-style writing with only a single exclamation mark, ever
• No mentions whatsoever of character names, settings, situations, or anything that could be tied to the story
• The usernames may be identical to people who exist on ao3, but the name is not clickable, and no profile is associated with it EXCEPT when you directly search for that name. What this means: the comments come from an unregistered (not logged in) reader, bots scrape the site for real usernames, attach that to the comment, and post

Please spread the word about this so authors can filter comments and report them accordingly

There has been some speculation about why this is happening at all, and the best guess is that this is a feature that AI-training story-scraping tools are implementing to try and make their browsing traffic look legitimate

Worst part about this is I’ve only ever used that yellow square emoji once and it was just to see how it looked. This isn’t who I am. However, in retrospect, I suppose it is

Reading through the notes is a surreal experience please keep adding more to fuel my effervescent consumption of non descriptive emojis

hey now that it’s disability pride month can you please remember to include people with Down syndrome and other chromosomal defects into your activism. they’re so often left behind. I literally never see anyone spreading Down syndrome awareness that isn’t close family of someone with Down syndrome. They exist and they’re living breathing humans who deserve just as much activism as every other disabled person

Making up a reason why Steve was barefoot all the way to the Gun store + adding some extra spice to that “Big boy” remark 😏

There’s a cute guy from the music store across Scoops that Steve just can’t muster the courage to talk to. Robin’s sick of watching him make moon eyes at Eddie from across the mall
