I'm a Vietnamese cis woman born and currently living in the U.S. You may know me from Sandwich, from Twitter or Mastodon (same username), or on Twitch as Sharkaeopteryx. I do not have a Discord or Bluesky account.
Ask me about language learning/teaching, cooking/eating food, late diagnosis ADHD, and volunteer small business mentoring. Or don't, I'm not the boss of you.
I think people deserve to be young, make mistakes, and grow without being held to standards they don't know about yet and are still learning. So, if you are under 22, please don't try to strike up a friendship or get involved in discussions on my posts.
Please don't automatically assume I follow/know/co-sign someone just because I reposted something from them—sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. Also, if you think being removed as a follower when we're not mutuals is a cardinal sin, please do not follow me.
hello! this is a beautiful piece of work, it looks like it is currently hosted on discord, which means it may disappear soon, please ensure your work is safe!
Is there a reason it being on discord will make it disappear? I don't understand image hosting stuff and this was from an early tip I got.
Discord doesn’t want to be a file hosting platform and they’ve been making moves to make off-site links to images expire that take effect in the next few months.
Thanks for letting me know! I heard neocities being suggested as an alternative? I had trouble setting it up but I'm happy to work with alternatives.
Neocities seems like it would be a good option. Once you have a page, you should be able to upload an image with the button or drag-and-drop, click it in the list, and that’ll take you to its page that you can copy the URL from. Image here of the upload page, hosted on neocities as a test: 
Also I recall seeing a staff post about working on inline attachments so hopefully this won't be necessary for too much longer!
hmm these comic pages are loading incredibly slowly, let's see what's going on
"https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/"
oh no
Cohost can host your images for you, please don't do this!
especially since discord is going to start hash checking one of these days and then the images will only last 24 hours before you need new links to them.
i'm not sure if they started it yet but they are all ready for it and announced that it is upcoming a few months ago
Hi yes, thanks for the concern. I've used discord because I've been on cohost long enough before cohost was able to host images (it caused errors to some images) so I just used what I was used to. I wasn't aware there was an update. If you want to bring up a concern to someone you don't know personally please don't phrase it like this next time.
What the heck? My profile is a commission from a friend?? Geez I hate how overly familiar people can be online to strangers, the lack of respect. This is why you're getting blocked.
I love your Superman comics so much, and this is no exception! I think you really understand what makes him tick.
this is so incredible. this is my favorite sort of fanwork. Bravo!!
I don't remember where I first saw any of your comics like this (I don't think it was here!) but I'm really glad to see you are here on seeing more of them!! Love these so much
I post on twitter but most of my DC fan stuff is on tumblr so maybe there! Thanks for reading 🥰❤️
this is incredible! i've never been into superman or anything related to super heroes, but the topics brought up in this are just so well put!
Thank you! I'm always grateful when the stuff I make can spread outside of its fandom.
