it turns out i really enjoy making educational posts about the comics making process and ways of thinking. here's another one featuring characters from my graphic novel in a very anachronistic art museum.

People are always writing fanfiction about how it’s abusive for tom to hit jerry with the big mallet and jerey has mallet PTSD and gets a restraining order out on tom and starts going to a domestic violence survivors support group. stuff like this. Sometimes I like it but sometimes it irks me.

You can’t just call the “don’t stop me now” essay writing method the second worst essay method you’ve heard of and not tell us the story of the worst one 👀

i know a guy whose patented essay writing method is to, on the eve of the due date, set an alarm so early it should count as an atrocity, open an empty word doc on his computer and then placing it on his bed,

he then goes to sleep, presumably after drinking a full can of coke, as his immunity to caffeine, adderall, and the general life choices about to be described prove that (1) this man almost certainly is a colossal case of adhd and (2) that is the least of what’s wrong with him

when the alarm goes off he immediately starts typing into the word document whilst in a sleep adjacent fugue state. once he hits the required word count, he turns over and goes back to sleep, without ever having fully woken up

he awakens in the morning with however many pages of essay typed up and ready to submit, with no memory of what content is actually contained, as if he’d been visited by santa or a mystical essay delivering fairy or a demon that engaged in a brief bout of possession and then peaced out after rightfully deducing that inhabitation of this particular body and its life was a task said demon was not equal to, nor would continuation of this possession constitute as a desirable state

all of this so that he can have the benefits of an essay, whilst completely avoiding a mental state in which he is at any point fully present in experiencing the pain of writing an essay.

This man is now in graduate school.

Let's be real, unlike OP we are on tumblr: we fall off so hard in the mid-game once everyone else unlocks their promotion classes and we get nothing. We are gonna get benched immediately.

[regina-bithyniae]

I think tumblr is very much Est-coded! Shows up late, perhaps had potential but squandered it.

I feel like given the history the site, having this huge surge of cultural relevance on "recruitment" and then tapering off into a long decay, the Jeigan vibe fits better?

But on the other hand we are *absolutely* the "pink haired teenage girl" website, so i definitely know where you are coming from!

[asneakyfox]

in any given fictional situation, there is exactly one character who is At Fault and every other character involved is a passive victim. media literacy is when you correctly identify and condemn this character

the cql/mdzs jianghu is like. your grandfathers built a big old house and its been passed down for generations and youre caring for it now to pass it down to your children but theres black mold. its fucking riddled with black mold. the house needs to be fucking demolished honestly or at the very least heavily renovated to cut out all this fucking black mold or its going to collapse on you or your children or your grandchildren but this is your home and you live here, what are you meant to do, rent like all those normal people? and its your grandfathers house you cant take it down you cant destroy their lifes work they put into it all so you would have a house to live in. so you ignore the black mold. its just a pattern on the wallpaper. everyone ignores the black mold. you have guests over and they dont look at your black mold and when you go visit them in the homes their grandfathers built you dont look at their black mold. sometimes you can genuinely forget about the black mold. and then wei wuxian and nie mingjue both come over and immediately point at the big fucking ever-growing patch of black mold and say "hey dont you think you should get that dealt with?" and well theyre right but isnt that so rude? everyone knows we ignore the black mold.

[orpheusilver]

also wwx is saying "imagine still living in all that mold lol couldnt be me" while living beneath an underpass and huffing industrial chemicals which definitely isnt any better and nmj is saying "why havent you removed the mold yet? deal with your mold or ill burn down the house" while living in an equally moldy house and also snorting lines of spores straight off the wall every morning

AHAHAHAH AHAHAHAHA! We’re just skipping right over that background plot and ain’t saying nothing else about it, that’s fucking hilarious

[animation-recaps-by-sean]

there's actually a bit of backstory to this switch. Alex the computer teacher was like most of the cast was based off of a character from Roomis/It's Walky.

But this Alex was based off of someone Willis knew in college. But that person would go on and come out as a tran woman. And I guess she found out their was a character still based on her in this web comics and she reached out to Willis, so he replaced old Alex with a more accurate character of her

"Guy remembered his password" when a musician uploads a new music video after several months is like, are you just failing to be funny or do you not know things take time to make and also sometimes people delay a release for timing reasons

I hate how much of the internet is people trying to be witty by using the same few canned phrases constantly, it hurts my brain

[centrally-unplanned]

I'm repeating some older ideas here, but this is a structural problem of the internet. IRL most conversation is "boring" - something you would never choose to read in a book, but a human being you have a relationship with is saying it right in front of you. You both "have" to listen, and want to listen because you are connecting with that person, it's different.

But none of that is true on the internet - it's all one-way, it's for "the feed", you have (at default) no attachment to the writer or obligation to read what they say. So most normal conversation shrivels away, the words have to "stand on their own". Which means being "funny" for 90% of contexts like tweets and comments on Bandcamp. What else can you do to make your post worth reading?

But of course, being funny is hard - most people aren't, certainly not reliably! And thus the internet is awash with failed attempts at the primary thing it is optimized to produce.

(Anyway sorry for sociology-navel-gazing on your emotional venting post ^^)
