People don’t like to admit it bcs cringe or w/e but Homestuck really did revolutionize the webcomic as a storytelling medium and I am endlessly frustrated that before webcomic artists could really stretch our legs fucking webtoonz swooped in, set a new, more restrictive standard, and then monetized and monopolized the ever living fuck out of the concept of The Webcomic until it drove away anyone who couldn’t be a professional quality manga artist for free, and now the only webcomics that actually feel like spiritual successors to Homestuck are so obscure they’re basically cult classics that you have to beg people to read.

Like it’s just so wild to be in high school and see Homestuck be like “we’re using like fifteen different artistic mediums to tell this story bcs we can” and be really fucking inspired by that, only to grow up and see basically every webcomic ever have to conform to One Single Standard or fucking perish.

Actually, I realized my real point here: we all need to make our art weirder. Please make weird art. I want more stuff like Prequel Adventure and 17776 and MyHouse.wad and I want it now. Capitalism thrives on conformity. We must be weird at all costs.

it’s depressing to see people eulogizing webcomics in the notes because amazing and cool and weird webcomics still exist on the internet, you just have to Visit Web Sites

and i don’t have any sources to cite to back myself up here but i feel that younger folks experiencing The Internet through phones & tablets rather than PCs forces them to live on apps, like webtoon, so that’s where they’re going to go to read webcomics

as webcomic creators, we kind of have to go where the audience is. god i know a lot of comic folks right now with amazing comics on websites starting to mirror their comics to webtoon/tapas because audiences *expect* you to be there

anyway. stop saying webcomics are dead. go to websites & look at them. thank u

But *where do I find them* you ask?

I’ve got some neat answers for you.
->Comic Fury Is a great place to find webcomics(and host your comic there with a lot of custom options)
->Spider Forest is a collective of webcomics- which means members were accepted to be in a group that support each other! They’ve been around since 2003, how cool!
-> Hiveworks comics are curated comics who were accepted into their collection as well. The hub links to many cool and unique webcomics
-> Topwebcomics is a place to find comics to read and vote for your faves
-> The Webcomic Library is a place dedicated to tagging webcomics, so you can browse and select a comic that suits your fancy with the organisation all done for ya!
-> Comic Rocket is a good tool to use if you’d like to bookmark your readthrough and search for new comics to read as well
(feel free to add to the list for more webcomic places too!)

There are SO MANY incredible webcomics out there and I would LOVE for folks to explore the net and find them again. This is the best way to keep ideas unique, weird, and most of all, loved.
So go check out some comics!

Listen to me. Men are boxes and women are circles is made up. Those how to draw anime books are made up. 99% of all style guides are made up. But color theory is very very real.

…okay fine, because I forgot what site I was posting on:

Color theory (hospital edition) is made up. Color theory (why does my art look bad edition) is real.

truth is, underneath it all, a lot of our beliefs aren’t rational, and they’re formed young. all those stories of magical protagonists. secret worlds if you just had the key. creatures just out of view. all that shit we imagined doesn’t go away because we got older. in a lot of ways it gets bigger, more elaborately built on.

i think we’re hiding the emotionally devastating core of the walrus vs fairy debate under jokes.

you see a fairy on your doorstep? and you think finally.

While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a slapping,

As of some one gently flapping, flapping at my chamber door.

“’Tis some fairy,” I muttered, “slapping at my chamber door—

            Only this and nothing more.”

Quoth the walrus, “Are you sure?”

woke up today and realized that tumblr entirely killed fuck ya life bing bong so here ya go again

[Video caption for original post: TikTok by JakeHatch (@appleuser796845516) where, in first person, a man walks through an indoor industrial site of some kind and says “…where are these hosers at… Hey! Fuck your life, bing bong!” and throws a live pigeon into a room full of other people, where one can be heard shouting “ah, shit!” as the pigeon flies around in the confined space. End video caption.

Image caption for response: reply by @scottpilgrimspreciouslittleblog reading: “If anyone’s curious of the origins, the OP said he would catch pigeons that would get caught in their workshop and let them free outside. One of his bosses told him he was wasting time so this was his response to that.” End caption.]
