I really love the wilderness years of Doctor Who. I think from now on when shows get canceled more companies should throw their content to the wolves and watch in horror as the starved fan base go insane and write like a thousand books in five years that irreversibly ruin any semblance of canon, and also make zero sense.
what’s the rush?
the rush is:
we desire instant gratification
patience is a learned skill
fomo is fake urgency. something good will still be there in 5 years
we have a cult of youth that sees older people as useless or ugly
actual artists never stop learning and growing and it takes years
In the USA, the average age of professional musicians is 45 for men and 51 for women.
Working musicians go to school for it, master one or many instruments, learn theory and technique, and practice every day. These are the people who work in orchestras, on soundtracks, as session players, as music teachers, and some as songwriters and arrangers, etc, but not necessarily for themselves.
Like, we’ve been conditioned to think it’s normal that people emerge as fully formed pop stars at a young age - particularly by the Disney Channel-to-Hollywood Records pipeline for former child stars.
Can you create really good art without some insight into life and the human condition? Do you have something to say about art itself (medium, form, instruments, etc)?
Take your time.
The sheer energy. The beauty of this woman. The women hugging in the background. The man in rainbow parachute pants. This whole video is art.

"Ctrl+alt+del"? Uh uh I googled it but *squint* still not understanding lol Sorry!
bless thats ok! dont worry! <3
so, its from a strip of the ongoing comic called ‘loss.jpeg’
which looks like this!
[image is from Know Your Meme!]
it became quite infamous, mainly because it was [in the majority’s opinion] a very poorly executed comic dealing with quite a serious scenario
there is an excellent post that explains why people didn’t like it, but i havent been able to find it! if anyone does please feel free to link it! it would really help!
so the positioning of the characters in each panel became a meme…which in turn became a staple of meme culture that, to some, is instantly recognisable
i hope this helps in some way! <3
Ctrl+alt+del started out as a 4 panel gag webcomic around the time Penny Arcade had first started becoming super popular. CAD was kind of the “knock off” Penny Arcade and featured a main character (average gamer man) his best friend (average gamer man’s best friend who is also gamer man) and the main character’s sarcastic put-upon girlfriend (Girl Gamer™️ who is basically the main character’s mom and has the personality of “girl”)
The strips were relatively popular, if criticised for being lazy in the art department (which they… really REALLY were) and were generally rather unfunny “gamer humour” like the early Penny Arcade strips. (there’s a good post on tumblr somewhere that shows if you remove the 2 middle panels from the 4 panel strips the comic is actually funny in a completely nonsensicle way)
Anyway, at some point the author decided to start introducing some storyline into the comic, the biggest being Main Character and Girl getting married and her being pregnant. this would be sprinkled with more gamer humour and him being a man-child and her being annoyed by his goofiness (but still putting up with him and being his mom essentially)
This all changed when, out of NOWHERE, the strip called “Loss” was published.
This strip shows Girl has had a miscarriage.
This absolute out of nowhere TRAINSMASH of a “serious issue” strip in a GAMER GAG COMIC is why it’s so remembered. Because this was a funny haha kinda lame gamer comic and then suddenly we’re having plot points about women having missacarriages.
Not helped when, in the VERY NEXT STRIP, Main character is all like
at the hospital because “LOL RANDOM”.
the comic “Loss” became such an absolute joke due to the author’s complete and utter lack of tact regarding such a heavy issue. But also because the author himself is kind of a giant douche. Completely and utterly convinced of his own genius, he created a charity JUST to compete with Penny Arcade’s charity, he bans people on the CAD forums if they have ANYTHING negative to say about his comics, and constantly vandalising wikipedia pages about other webcomics to insult them.
So you have a giant trash fire of 1) an asshole author who thinks he’s hot shit but has a fragile ego 2) a kind of shitty webcomic that’s not actually that funny but got popular when “gamers” was a big thing on the internet in the early 2000s and 3) a complete disaster of a “dramatic moment” handled with complete lack of sensitivity.
To the point if you go to lectures and panels on creating webcomics, the “Don’t introduce real human drama if your comic was created to be a comedy” comes up PURELY to reference this particular strip
The comic has become so parodied and referenced, that over tha past 9 or 10 years (yes it REALLY has been going for that long) the strip “Loss” has become so recogniseable that it can be simplified to the collection of lines Coco referenced. And in turn those lines themselves have become a meme, people sneaking them into pictures and images and finding newer and more abstract ways to reference this comic, so the “hidden Loss reference” has itself become its own meme. To the point where it’s even being referenced in actual media these days.
For a more detailed account of the comic and the author, I recommend the entry on “Bad Webcomic Wiki” which explains it in detail http://badwebcomicswiki.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Ctrl%2BAlt%2BDel

#my wife is on the SOR for being gay #no joke #she hit on a girl in a straight bar once #in 1997 #and while the girl was into it #the off duty cop sitting nearby was not #and so he arrested her for ‘soliciting homosexual activity’ #which in our state was still a felony #in 1997 (and would remain so until Lawrence v Texas in 2003) #and since ‘soliciting homosexual activity’ was a felony and a sex crime #she got put on The List #she is still on there to this day #because it costs MONEY to ask a judge to take you off #and she has tried four times#since 2003 #to get taken off the SOR #but every time the judge has said something like ‘no you pled guilty to the crime i can’t possibly take you off the sex offender registry’ #with no acknowledgement of what the actual crime was #(the crime of being a butch lesbian hitting on a cute girl who was into it) #(in 1997)
Reposting these tags with consent from the person that wrote them. The post about the Sex Offenders Registry is locked, but these tags are too important to go unnoticed.
Younger queer people need to realize that the SOR being used against queer people simply for being queer isn’t some ancient history thing. It still impacts queer people today. And it can quite easily be used that way again.
Listen!
When you hear people throwing around the talking point of “well there’s a high rate of sex offenders in the trans/queer community”, this has to do with why.
Being on the sex offender registry isn’t inherently equivalent to whatever horrific sex crime you’re meant to think of when it’s mentioned. It evokes imagery of pedophilia and rape, but there is a lot that can get you put on it and not a lot you can do to be taken off of it.
Public crossdressing used to be able to get you put on the sex offender registry (and by used to I mean as recently as 2011).
Public urination (you know, the literal only option for someone who’s homeless and doesn’t have access to public bathrooms, a venn diagram where trans people are more likely to rest in the meeting zone) can get you put on the sex offender registry.
Sex work is pretty much an automatic way to end up on the sex offender registry if you’re caught. (This is especially weaponized against black trans women who do sex work)
“Deviant Sexual Intercourse” (aka literally any sexual activity aside from penis-in-vagina penetration) could get you on the sex offender registry as recently as the early 2000s. That effectively impacts the entire queer community in one way or another.
The sex offender registry is, first and foremost, useless. It tells you nothing about what someone did. It’s mentioned to quickly associate a person or a group of people with the worst possible crimes imaginable.
It has been used against us time after time and it will continue to be used for that.
And this is where the push of purity discourse in fandom shows its fetid, fascist underbelly.
This is why they are making being trans in public a felony in some states.
When you decide that people who commit a certain crime or category of crime should legally lose their humanity, you create incentive for more people to be charged with that crime.
Hello, my name is Mahmoud from Gaza 🇵🇸
Since the war, my life has changed completely… my father was martyred, and I became the sole provider for my mother and my younger siblings. Every day I try to secure food and safety for them despite displacement, fear, and loss 💔
I have been married for 3 years to the woman I love deeply, and our biggest dream was to become parents 👶🏻
But after long attempts and many doctor visits, we learned that we need IVF treatment, and its cost is far beyond what I can afford.
My wife cries silently every night, afraid that our dream may never come true. I try to stay strong for her and for my family, even though exhaustion fills our hearts 🌧️
Sometimes it feels like the war has taken everything from us… our home, our safety, and even our simplest dreams 🕊️
But despite everything, we are still holding on to hope and trying not to give up.
All we ask for is a small chance at life 🤍
Hello, my name is Mahmoud, a young man from Gaza , and I've been married for three years to the woman I love very much . Like many families
Any support, no matter how small, could make a huge difference in our lives. This is my link, and I kindly ask for your help.
Even sharing our story might bring us one step closer to the dream of holding our child one day 🌷
god damn this is a QUILT ('late day shadows' by nancy messier)
THIS IS A QUILT?!?!?!?
Help me to rebuild my Dream 🙏

Hello, my friends,
Thank you so much for all your support.
I have some good news I wanted to share with you.
I have made progress in my project and managed to create some wonderful pieces. However, I faced major setbacks because I needed to buy raw materials, and I didn’t have enough money. My campaign is moving very slowly.
At the same time, I am trying to support my family and become independent by starting my own project.
These are some of the results of my achievements this month, created amidst the tents and rubble. I will try to keep you updated always, but please help me as much as you can and talk about my work.
Here is a glimpse of some of the hardships I face, with rain and water leaking into the tent where my family and I live. But I always hold on to hope for life 🤍.

Give Najah a chance for treatment… a chance to live.
Without this treatment, death is not a possibility—it is inevitable.
She is growing weaker day by day, and we cannot do this alone.
Just $10 from 50 people could help save her life.
It may seem like a small amount, but for Najah, it is the difference between life and death.
Please don’t ignore this plea. 🤍
Two donors gave her hope during her illness. Now it’s our turn—every donation can change her life. Join us and make a real difference!🥺💔❤️🙏
