doing some serious research
There is a specific subgroup of MGS fanartists who ignore conventional artstyles and lean instead into something a little more abstract and visually interesting, stuff like cubism and expressionism. It ranges from "looks like people but stylized" to "explosive tangle of abstract shapes with maybe a single eye in the middle. This is a person" Everything they make looks like it could be hung in a museum, except it's fanart of the gay soldier game.
Oh and it's great, I love everything about them. :3

'why are actors striking aren't they all millionaires' here's a paywall free link to an article that mentions how most of the cast of one of netflix's biggest shows had day jobs bc they couldn't afford rent
remember that actors are usually not well off at all. forget the big screen famous guys, they're the very few ones. this strike is for all the other ones, that deserve to have a livable paycheck for their job.
And a note to say that, had Orange is the New Black been on a not-streaming network which paid them residuals each time they screened the show the actors would have done fine or better than fine.
At the start of streaming rules were agreed to let these beginning ways of putting out stories over the web succeed and get established, and letting them not pay actors and writers traditional style residuals was part of what was agreed. They got established. They succeeded. The actors and the writers took the hit.
Streaming actors get screwed ten ways to Sunday. I'm still a part of the Union of BC Performers because I did work when I was young, and for a movie I was in when I was FIVE YEARS OLD, for around 30 SECONDS, in a movie that did poorly, I make more money in residuals than any of the leading actors in OITNB do for all of their hard work as adult professionals. It's sick, quite frankly, and I for one can't wait for the WGA and SAG to land lucrative contracts. There's no way in hell I should get more on my quarterly checks than the talent who worked on a show like that. By the way, once my movie hit Netflix in about 2012, my checks got slashed in half.
I stopped keeping up with homestuck once act 6 started to drag in like early 2012 but I do have very clear and fond memories of playing the act 6 intermission 3 minigame on the day it dropped and watching everyone discuss it in real time. It was the one where you play as Meenah and talk to all the pre-scratch dancestors. The only reason why I remember it is because the OST for it fucking slapped. I don't think about a lot of homestuck music anymore (a mistake! I should go back and listen to everything again.) but I always get this track stuck in my head.
#it's really bizarre to me looking back on homestuck after that one post about it being outsider art because like. *yeah*#it really was. it was one of those bizarre examples of outsider art that got rather popular but it never stopped being weird#i feel like the size of the homestuck fandom might have been overinflated in people's memory.#like when I was 16 I thought the hs fandom was huge but modern big fandoms have shown me that oh lol no it was just a medium-sized hit#its also weird to think that the feverish pitch zeitgeist popularity period was only like 2 years long if that. 1 and a half#mid 2011 to early 2013 that was it#but at the time it felt so ENDURING and LONG
