the power of napping on your girlfriend’s tits…

@aschmitz the tools exist to create fonts for free (and have for a long time), and for people who make fonts regularly, even the expensive software quickly pays for itself. but as with any art, it’s one thing to do it for yourself as a passion project, and another to do it on commission for a customer. font design is very iterative and involves a lot of back-and-forth, and just knowing the number of hours involved in that i would guess you’d need at least four figures for anything like a living wage, for anything beyond just a basic latin set with no adjustments. and i wouldn’t expect designers to have so many clients as to actually book full eight-hour days (which is why they have time for passion projects), so the amount they have to charge to sustain their businesses is probably higher

i would like to hire someone to develop a font for me but i am certain i do not have the money to hire someone to actually develop a font for me

there¦s a lot going on

just read “forces” as “forecs” and spent a long time trying to figure out what that means

nintendo is allowed to age up their characters for horny reasons but they pulled it off a lot better with purah is all i’m saying

nintendo: we want riju to be hot but she was a child in the last game, how do we fix this
nintendo: let’s just say gerudo grow really fast

i’m giving this fanfic an intentionally complicated history so it will be impossible to tell which parts actually happened, which are interventions on the part of hylia, which are interventions on the part of a certain zelda, which were added to drum up sales…

me: gaepora is large and looks like an owl. consequently, people liked to call him “big bird”

you, four chapters later when the realization hits:

in all fairness this is a fanfic about zelda which doesn’t even introduce her until like the fourth chapter so realistically it’s gonna bomb no matter what i do

i keep being like “okay, this is enough, let’s keep it simple” and then i reread it and NO it is NOT enough i need to take it slower and dig into more detail

working on this fanfic is difficult because i fundamentally do not trust your average reader in 2024 to be patient enough for the very cool important things i am trying to do in the first handful of paragraphs

it¦s very annoying to me that Rhoam Bosphoramus is clearly Hellenic at a time when I feel like Hyrule ought to have switched to vernacular Latin but i am just choosing to believe that he is very oldfashioned
