Anonymous asked: Didn't they already try to do something against net neutrality last year (or 2 years ago ) ? Are they going to try each year until they win?...
basically they’re hoping that each time less and less people will notice or care and eventually they’ll get away with it, which is why it’s so so important to keep noticing, keep caring, and keep preventing this amazing bullshit from ever happening :Tb
Anonymous asked: hey mod, any tips on how to react more positively to art that's way better than mine? i'm trying to change my mindset so i can feel inspired instead of inferior but i have no idea where to start :/
it’s hard! and don’t feel bad about that- it’s a natural reaction and a lot of that is because artists are often self deprecating, but the thing I started to do was make little changes to how my brain was saying it; “oh man, this art is so much better than mine…” became “oh man! this art is so good!” and “I wish I could draw art like that…” becomes “hey, I wonder if I could try drawing art like that?”
it might seem silly, just changing the ‘words’ of how you’re seeing things, but if you start to ‘rephrase’ your thoughts more positively, then it becomes genuine and second nature- which helps you not beat yourself up, and prevents you from becoming bitter and envious of other people. You can actually start looking at the wonderful art you’re wanting to emulate, and start to think about how it was made, and what exactly it is about it that makes you love it so much! which helps you both learn and actively want to feed your own style, but it also actually makes you appreciate the artist’s work itself more, so… it’s really hard? Learning not to observe good art with a negative slant on your own in comparison, and everyone has days where they can’t, but if you can then everyone benefits, especially you!

Anonymous asked: okay so i knew nothing about ducktales except for the fact that i would catch glimpses of it on tv when i was little but now you've converted me into such a big fan?? and i was wondering if you would ever do a comic about fethry since your drawings of him are just so adorable.
YES see this is it this is why I love making these I want everyone to find out how Good these comics are yessss
and maybe! he is a part? of some future comics but I haven’t come up with another that focuses on him as the main character (though I did do some with him a while back)
Anonymous asked: new reader and wow! I love your duck comics- they feel just like the official stories! are you going to do any more (no rush, just curious!) lots of love from Finland xxx
aw thank you, and love right back to you and Finland! I am working on another right now- I would have been finished sooner but my right hand kind of bit it for a while there, but if I’m lucky I’ll have it done sometime next week. Here’s a little taster for now, and thanks for being patient!
Anonymous asked: I gotta say I think the thing that really Gets me about magicstone (considering I read the comics and usually don't ship anything, never did in the duckverse, and yet here I am with this OTP) is that you don't change who they at all. It's, idk you nail their personalities so well? and it has this soft melancholy to it the whole time like not even a slow burn just this eternal little twinge of sadness even though you balance it with the comedy- do you have music you listen to for it? or a song?
ah shucks man thank you, that means a bunch because that’s really how I write things (some of you will know that for real because I’m always yammering on about making up a situation and then just letting the characters tell me what to do blah blah blah BUT I DO OKAY), but that’s also why I? shipped it in the first place? Just that one story and boom, it made sense! you get all that personality driven chemistry and conflict and even magical shenanigans for fun, it’s so full of possibilities!
As for music heck I get Magicstone inspiration from every darn thing these days but in terms of That Funny-but-Classy-but-Melancholy Mood I feel like this track has it down as an ‘overall vibe’ thing
and then of course, if you imagine them actually becoming an item, there’s this beauty XD don’t know about you but I can totally imagine them both singing the respective parts! (yes I know it’s Spanish not Italian for Magica but…)

Anonymous asked: how do you draw the doodle comic? like, you don't have to make a whole walkthrough but what's the step by step?
well mostly it goes like this; base sketch
text and panels/ big bg’s if there are any
sketch and speech bubbles
finishing touches/ less vital bg stuff
and that’s about it! I do proper walkthroughs on my processes over on my Patreon if you like this kinda thing!
