the only ship we need is our friendship bro

i spend most of my time thinking about my own webcomic characters. anyway read Sometimes the Bad Guy

[helluvamystery]

hi, im bet. i am some sort of creature, and also i make art? i like bees, and books, and my cat Bug, and bhorror games. My favorite tv show is Leverage, which ended back in 2012.

my current comic is Sometimes the Bad Guy, which is mostly about two dudes who are friends :) and raising two kids together :) as friends :)

and also they fight crime commit crime try to avoid some high-grade superhero bullshit

like, all the time.

anyway please read it my next comic also takes place in the same universe so im kind of dedicated to the story at this point

love it when characters do a sacrifice play ostensibly to save others but mostly so they don't have to face themselves

I think an important element in talking about the politics of fictional characters or entities is understanding that they live inside of a story written by someone with their own politics and if they want they can just transmogrify the world around them to make whatever political stance they want to be correct, correct. like you can't make the argument "actually x character has y stance" in a vacuum because the reality is that this character or whatever was written by someone with an agenda, conscious or not, and that this will result in artifacts in storytelling. storytelling isn't Depiction, it isn't a neutral conveyance of information (which doesn't really exist to begin with). it's the construction of a world to tell a specific story with specific cultural and political assumptions. as a stupid example you can say "but isn't the brotherhood of mutants trying to do a reverse-genocide against Homo sapiens" and the answer can be yes but that narrative point was written by someone who decided the brotherhood of mutants was meant to be a representation of something that they, the writer, consider equivalent or metaphorically salient enough to embody. who is the brotherhood of mutants supposed to represent? what goal might the author have in portraying them this way? what things about these groups might the author have taken for granted? come on now.

PERSONALLY I like that the strawhats are preoccupied with their dreams ambitions and sailing the seas w their friends and don’t think romance is narratively necessary, but it’s legitimately so funny how oda was like “the old generation of pirates? biggest fucking sluts you’ve ever seen”

Tumblr is the reason why I have something I call the cashier test which is, if i told this to a random cashier at the grocery store, would they think you're crazy at best or at worst would they be warranted in leaping over the counter and beating the shit out of you. Karl Marx mpreg is crazy, but not beating the shit out of you crazy. The cashier will probably talk about you to their coworkers and it might even make their day. Telling someone they're complicit in their own oppression by working a minimum wage job at a grocery store makes them warranted in leaping over the counter to beat the shit out of you.

You are an unreliable narrator because your coping mechanisms for your deep-seated trauma forbid you from acknowledging the reality of the situation. I am an unreliable narrator because I sincerely have no idea what the fuck is going on.

funniest possible singular sentence in the english language has already been conceived n it's the first line of the tardis wiki article on "sex"

[sawxix]

the past tense implying sex has since been eradicated. the six (6) different synonyms all with 1-3 linked sources. those extensive citations juxtaposed with the extremely vague given definition of "an action performed by two or more people" . it's so fucking good. I could never put together a sentence this funny even if you gave me a full paid year off 2 do it

Hiromu Arakawa’s genius is obvious throughout all of FMA but her first and biggest leap of genius was in how she crafted her protagonist. 

Arakawa realized the burgeoning youth of the early 2000s wasnt interested in another plucky spry optimistic young shonen protag. Instead she gave us a short ugly egotistical asshole smarter-than-you atheist with so much money and power that people could no longer best him in arguments by telling him “dude shut up ur literally like 12″ 

Five pages in we’re told Edward’s famous and rich and powerful. Five more pages and he’s calling some girl stupid for thinking God exists. Five more pages and he’s proven right. Five more and he’s kicked an evil priest’s teeth in. And no one can tell his mom on him.

Hiromu Arakawa figured out the dream of every edgy young weeb discovering internet arguments for the first time and she cast them an idol made of gold.

I Defeated the Demon Lord but it Turns Out the Demon Army was Largely Unaffected and I Fell Victim to a Flawed Belief in Great Man Theory

I Executed The Demon Lord With One Flawless Strike And After A Brief Power Struggle The New Demon Government Is Substantially More Committed To The War Because Of Some Reason I Don't Know
