The most interesting thing about watching all the Bond movies in order hasn’t actually been anything to do with the series itself, but watching the world slowly change. Bond is kind of unique in this because it’s one of the only media franchises that’s been running uninterrupted for 60+ years, while always being set in the “present day,” primarily taking place in somewhat realistic settings and places, and not being 100% sci fi to an extent that divorces it from the overall look of it’s contemporary reality. James Bond, unlike any other series, really, allows you to watch the real world slowly change from the early 60s to 2021, in increments so brief it feels as if nothing changes from film to film, and yet by the time you get to the end everything is different

The reason why GoldenEye is my favorite is its the only one that actually acknowledges this.

[iatepancakesonce]

I'd say it's the only movie franchise, not the only media.

There's so many TV shows that have been running since forever internationally.

just wrote an application to a promotion I do not want

but not doing it myself is better than the alternative

alternative being either my most favourite train wreck coworker getting the job or someone from outside who i'll have to train

ughhh, the curse of being not completly incompetent

[iatepancakesonce]

I like my moles

Took a few years, but I'm now fine with most of them

shaving isn’t even like remotely close to the biggest issue feminism needs to tackle but it’s just astonishing to me how the most lukewarm bare minimum of normalizing natural body hair on women is met with such pushback from “progressives” on here. like that’s why i keep bringing it up. like if you fucks can’t get behind “women shouldn’t feel like they have to shave and shouldn’t be groomed into shaving” then what the hell can you be counted on for? nothing, clearly

[headspace-hotel]

I'm doing my part by going out while being hairy. Hopefully other girls can see me and feel like they won't be alone if they wanted to stop shaving

Haven't shaved legs in 7 years and I'm so glad I stopped, I can't imagine going through all the trouble and hassle to do that anymore.

[iatepancakesonce]

I can't got out in skirts or shorts unshaved. I feel terrible. I've been teased since I was 7 about my leg hair, now over 25 years later, I still have those brain worms. I managed to get rid of the arm shaving brain worms, but not the leg shaving ones.

At least all the tattoos hide the stubble, so my brain worms don't tell me to shave daily. But that is not a societal solution. Don't put brain worms in future generations.

[headspace-hotel]

Not necessary to feel bad...the effects of being bullied and of relentless societal hostility are incredibly lasting and powerful

If you were interested in tricks to get rid of the brain worms, I have some ideas...

How is it to go out in capri pants? Like the kind that show half of lower leg and not the whole of lower leg?

Or how would you feel about going out in a dress/skirt in a place that is dark or dim so no one could see?

[iatepancakesonce]

Thank you, but I honest to god can't put up with the commentary my leg hair has received. Got bigger brain worms and I can deal with that brain worm via tattoos and linen pants.

I still remember years back when this site banned nsfw content.

How tf do I get 🌽 game ads? They got censored 🍑and🍒! I need to finally look into getting ad blockers on my phone. I've been using them on desktop for over 20 years and I did not realise how dire the situation has gotten

[iatepancakesonce]

I was raised by very tolerant and inclusive people. They obviously weren't perfect, but everyone was welcome. Anyway my parents kinda forgot to teach me that other people are shitty in that way.

So when I learnt at age 10 that being gay was less common than being straight I was sad because that meant to me that a gay person could fall in love with a lot of people who could never reciprocate their feelings and that was sad. I thought that was the worst part about being gay because my brain could not fathom bigotry.

I kinda want a world where that is the worst thing that could happen to a lgbtq+ person.

Living in an old town during thunderstorms is freaking magic. I got spooky church, spooky library, another spooky church and even spooky tunnel underneath the spooky castle.

I just got an ad for an online shop selling a grocery store brand of canned tomatoes, I seriously wonder where that one comes from

I want a green and pink bathroom so much.

Vampires are not weak to garlic in particular. Rather, any allergy a vampire had in life becomes a deadly bane in undeath. The garlic thing is just a matter of one famous vampire having that as their thing.

[sawed-on-shotgun]

unfortunate truth of reality is that oftentimes 15 year olds will say/do/believe some stupid bullshit because they are 15 but telling them that they believe that because they are 15 is probably the most counterproductive thing in the entire universe

[sawed-on-shotgun]

i remember being 15 and wanting literally nothing more than to be taken seriously and listened to and every thought and feeling i had was dismissed because i was a hormonal teenager. i was well aware at that point that a lot of the things i felt were probably because i was a kid, but that didnt make any of it less real, and being dismissed because of my age 1. did not help 2. did not make me feel better 3. made me angry at and untrustworthy of adults because they refused to listen to me. teenagers are people. kids are people. one of the only major things separating them from adults are experience and wisdom. they have like. you know. interiority

[sawed-on-shotgun]

like in YOUR mind you may think youre being helpful by going 'well you're a kid, its not really a big deal, youre okay, youll get over it' but that does not register as "helpful affirmation that everything will turn out fine and the only reason im upset is because of something out of my control so its better to just try and come to terms with it" it registers as 'adult dismissing my real tangible problems and sadness and anger because of my age and inadvertently calling me stupid'

[iatepancakesonce]

Reason I will never work with kids. Or teens.

Children and teenagers do have real problems like abuse or neglect or pressure from society, but sometimes they also have weird shit going on that to them is 100% serious, but to my adult self is just plain funny. And I think that's unfair to the teen or child. They deserve better than me laughing.

Everytime i see visible mending I get happy and wanna do it, but all the holes in my clothes are crotch or butt. I don't want a heart in my crotch.

Should mend the 2 pants though...

A conversation at Raborsch

Whew this took a while- but here it is. My little comic about a conversation I wished for Sam and John to have during the feast at Raborsch. As I eluded to in my previous preview-post, this idea came to me after seeing this post (sorry for linking it again, but I feel this is important)- and seeing just how pissed John actually is after Jobst's initial proposal. (yadda yadda you've probably read all this in my previous post before) Also Samuel learns from Godwin about his fathers passing, and- man- on top of all the stress that he finds himself in already, that must be really rough. So I wanted both of these guys to talk it out a little bit. Oh also- this comic isn't particularly romantic in nature, but please feel free to read that into it if you like. (I sure do) Forgive me if you spot any spelling errors or other mistakes along the way- I have done nothing but breathe this comic for the last few weeks and have probably gone blind to some mistakes. :')

Okay so uhm, on a personal note- I really wanted to do this little project to prove to myself that I can actually finish something that I started (I'm sure some of you can relate) - and it worked so- yay! I also learned a lot about writing and drawing comics along the way. Though there are still things I'm not super happy with- like worrying that the scene is super boring actually (I mean they're just talking and that's hardly exciting :'D), the characters possibly being ooc, or that some panels don't look the way I wanted them to- and so on and so forth. I am even anxious about posting the comic while typing this out. ALSO ALSO I feel a bit disingenuous tagging this comic as "Jamuel" since this really is not super shippy- soooo I may or may not have already made a little sketchy bonus thingy that goes more in that direction. I'll probably post it tomorrow. Or this evening, if I'm impatient. UNTIL THEN- feast your eyes on this BEAUTIFUL, IMMACULATE edit by my friend:

(srsly though, without him and his support, I probably wouldn't have finished this little project- so thank youuu!!!) Also again thanks to @telafel and @lordgeneralsix (I hope it's ok that I tag you again) for the references on their blogs- they were sooo vital. <333
