robert robertson ruined my life

lets be friends...!!

Happy Friday from SDN HR, dispatchers! To start the weekend off right - meet Roy, one of our merch artists!

I'M SO SO LATEEEEE SDJSKDL But I did something for Robert's Bday >w<

Forcing people to pay heroes to save them is such an unfair and fucked-up concept. In Dispatch, you have to pay a subscription to get a hero to help or save you in certain situations because if you don't then you're left to rely on yourself, the authorities, or other citizens to help out.

Episode 2 could've shown how wrong it is to make people pay for hero service by having Invisigal intervene in the Granny’s Donuts robbery despite Granny not being a subscriber. That would’ve also helped her character by showing that she'll disobey orders if it means helping others regardless of the occupational consequences. For Robert, AdHoc could've given him options to voice support for Visi’s decision, to condemn it, or to express uncertainty about whether it was the right call. As Dispatch progresses, we see more flaws in SDN’s subscription system, with the Z-team voicing their own issues and occasionally going off-route to help people regardless of subscription status.

In episode 8 of Dispatch, when Shroud and the Red Ring are destroying Torrance, AdHoc could've given Robert the choice of whether to have Z-team aid civilians regardless of subscription or to stick to helping only subscribers. We would have to choose between defying SDN and its subscription system or following it.

One of the most important images of all time

good morning to the beaten and the damned only

I’ve been thinking a lot ab this

its unfortunate that artists get talked out of their rare perspectives so often. ‘its just not done that way’ someone says and artist goes ‘oh okay guess ill sand that part off.’ bud that is your SPARK. so much of my success is from holding firm on the things i do that were called ridiculous

this timeline CRAVES your rare perspective. it CRAVES the thing that speaks from your heart but ‘isn’t the way things are done.’ when i talk about ‘what is your story OUTSIDE of the text?’ i am speaking of this. your personal tap into the cosmic is your rare perspective

The Man on the Train

This is an illustration I did for my friend, Dai’s, PhD thesis. A part of his thesis involved a study around how some gay men (particularly those of a minority status) negotiate being gay outside of mainstream gay culture. One story that really stood out to me as being quite unique and touching involved a middle-aged fellow who has never been intimate with another man, doesn’t necessarily identify as being gay, but spends his days knitting baby socks on park benches and on the train as a way to perform his ‘gayness’. As he still lives at home with an extremely conservative family this is essentially the only way he knows to express his sexuality.

AdHoc’s added this above Flambae’s turnaround on their cosplay guides. It’s nice to have clearer references of the back patterns, at least.
