There are so many places in this world and no one to wait for me. Let me run; they won't catch me.

I understand old men sitting on porches staring at an empty field more now than ever.

I'd be surprised if this was truly "it". And even though things are looking dire for the "good guys", I'm not sure the villains will win. If there can even be a winner here at all.

...however, as someone who is usually into the villains/underdogs, and has experienced secondhand defeat and humiliation time and time again - please let me enjoy this moment.

I'd prefer if JJK had a happy ending with the power of friendship, but ch236 made me fall for my all time favourite once more. Is there anything more I could ask for?

...and then ch237 happened which was the last nail in my coffin.

I started with the zoomed out piece. Despite having painted composition sketches, I only realised it halfway that it's difficult to understand what is going on, so I made a closeup from scratch. I shouldn't have forced it, it didn't turn out the way I wanted. Then the next chapter leaks made it look irrelevant...

Now I'm burnt out and have an art block. Please bear with me while the situation gets unfucked somehow.

Usually it’s video games instead of music but this is pretty much accurate hehe

somehow instead of saying "as a treat", I've started using the phrase "for morale", as if my body is a ship and its crew, and I (the captain) have to keep us in high spirits, lest we suffer a mutiny in the coming days.

and so I will eat this small block of fancy cheese, for morale. I will take a break and drink some tea, for morale. I will pick up that weird bug, for morale.

I'm not sure if it helps, but it does entertain me

i am so serious when i say we as young adults are so starved and deprived of community

[shisogelee]

like we as a generation - i'm talking especially young adults who are just entering the workforce - are so so lonely! i think about it all the time. between the incoming recession and cost of living crisis + the rise of wfh + processing pandemic trauma so many of us live deeply isolated lives and i think we deserve better...i'm working fully remote and i consider myself lucky because i do have friends that i see regularly but there's a hunger for that place you can go to to be around people in an organic but meaningful way too you that is not being addressed rn! we now more than ever need communities!

This is the funniest way you could've put it
