#I’m in therapy because of this

Tw:mentions of SA as well as false accusations of SA

I’m not sure if anyone is gonna see this but I just gotta brag to whoever will listen that I got some insane revenge and it’s been one hell of a high. So some background, back in March of this year I was falsely accused by an ex friend of mine of SA. I got basically dog piled by my old friend group. One notable character for this story was my friend we’ll call Rich. He was two years younger than me and had a crush on the girl who falsely accused me. Well rich played a part in my downfall by being one of two people who dmed my girlfriend to try and convince her that the accusations were true (without any evidence) when I confronted him he tried to say he was neutral but my story wasn’t adding up (the part that didn’t add up was that girl’s story didn’t fit this at all, surprise surprise a lie ended up being false) this lead to a small argument after which I distanced myself from him. I honestly grieved the hell out of that friendship, I cried over it like it was a break up because I felt like we were actual good guy friends. Well turns out Rich was a major piece of shit. After a lonely few months and a bit of talking to a counselor I felt like forgiving Rich (honestly I was desperate for a feeling of normalcy again) lo and behold, a whole 2 months after I reconnected he messaged me saying “looks like we’re in the same boat” and then goes on to say we can be outcasts together because he FUCKING PAID A MUTUAL FRIEND FOR NUDES WHO THEN TURNED AROUND, TOLD PEOPLE AND NOW RICHS LIFE IS FALLING APART. I felt bad for the guy so I gave some baseline advice but toward the end of the conversation I gave a nice speech about how in my time of need he left me in the dust and I’ve been waiting for an opportunity like this forever before finally ridding myself of this. I feel kinda mean but bro deserved it

Cowboy MK

(Poem by me, story based on S1:09)

I see your discontentment

Forced into shoes too large to fill.

I offer a different path

One to reveal your true strengths

without restrictions, hesitations, or fear

Stifle your conscience

Don’t let him stand in your way

Take the shot

And see where my guidance has led you

This is a continuation of my original Cowboy Wukong and Macaque poem. I’m a little less proud of this one. The art is stilted and disproportionate in some areas, but we’ll pretend it was all a stylistic choice! I think it’s pretty neat overall.

do you ever think that the reason hotch is so willing to accept affection from garcia when he isn’t from the rest of the team is at least partially because receiving affection from garcia doesn’t force him to admit he is a person worthy of affection. because garcia is just Like That. when other people show affection towards him he bristles because he believes deep down that he is a bad person unworthy of love, but when garcia shows him affection, he can justify to himself that garcia is only affectionate towards him because she’s affectionate to everyone, not because he’s particularly deserving. weirdly, he accepts it because he can reject it. haha. i do.

I’ve talked about this with some friends, but the whole Spotify/audiobook drama legitimately makes me want to cry.

If you are unaware, earlier in the month, Spotify, who now owns FindawayVoices -- an audiobook distributor and one of the only major rivals to Audible on the creator end -- announced that their ToS would be updating.

The ToS updates were horrendous and basically allowed Spotify to make royalty-free translations of our works, as well as create derivatives, and basically just fuck us all over and feed all of our hard work into AI.

The backlash was so swift that less than 12 hours later, Spotify sent out a panicked “Sorry our wording wasn’t clear!” email with a promised update. Less than 24 hours later they issued a statement walking back the changes to the ToS, and have since been pulling a “we never said that, you misread our unclear verbiage” when in reality the verbiage was very clear (Not Spotify trying to pull a “gaslight gatekeep girl boss ✌️”), they just didn't expect to get dragged out into the metaphorical court of social media and get publicly annihilated with authors withdrawing their work from the platform and customers canceling their subscriptions left right and center.

Anyway, the walk back was acceptable enough for me to not feel the need to remove my work entirely from FindAway -- which is good because I would have lost access to the global audiobook market if I had, not to mention global library access. Which, again, is good. A significant chunk of my audiobook earnings comes from Libby, and I’d honestly be lost without that $20 every month. (we get paid quarterly but it breaks out to about $20 a month.)

What the walk back was not good enough for, was for me to trust them to keep streaming Hunger Pangs on their Spotify streaming service. Because quite frankly, I don't trust them not to pull some more ToS bullshit, and this is the part making me want to cry.

Why? Because I’m going through my royalty reports, and for the single month of December 2023 alone, Hunger Pangs was streamed so often it earned $400.

In one month.

That's more than I earn from Audible in a year.

That's more than I earn from kobo, b&n, libby, libro.fm and several author distributors combined in a year.

I’m going to scream.

Part of 🟢 Leo gets Overwhelmed au🟢

Aah, I’m so happy I made it in in time! 💙✨ Merry Christmas, tumblr nation! Here’s a little comic about 03 Usagi and Leo going so see the Rockefeller tree after the events of the Christmas Aliens episode.

Little post about events earlier that night

Also this is literally how maskless Leo looks to me, he’s so moomincore ;

I desperately want Akilah to be the 8th survivor, but like. She’s somehow completely fine. They track her down, they’re all panicked and grieving Nat; Tai and Van are pretending they’re not in permanently-devastating love with one another; Shauna’s doing a “bring your daughter to cult” road trip. and Akilah’s just

Chilling? Has a family she DOESN’T cheat on or otherwise traumatize? Goes to therapy properly, instead of just talking to herself in a locked room? Has found peace and joy in her career without, y’know, damaging others in the process?

Everyone else: how the FUCK are you so well-adjusted????

people on tumblr will literally post things like “you have to eat vegetables and expand your palate i dont care if you are a picky eater because of autism (if i can overcome it you can too)” and everybody will reblog it being like “yes this is true for everybody no matter what” and think its okay. like sorry but that wont work for everyone and there is no one size fits all and some people will never be able to eat these things no matter how hard they try. im only allowed by my doctors to eat recreationally and not for nutrition, because my ARFID is so severe that i get my nutrition solely from a specially made formula drink. your suggestions of “try vegetables roasted!” or “try them in soup!” and assurances of “i did it, you can too!” don’t work for those of us with more severe mental illnesses and disabilities. stop tying a person’s worth to their diet and stop assuming everybody has the ability to do what you can.

I was talking to a friend about how good of a father is batman and he argued that if he really was one he would have his family in therapy. Have you read anything like this in any of the issues? All can think of the top my head is that one Young justice episode.

this is in my opinion, but Batman is a nebulously alright father. Bruce both loves and will intentionally hurt his kids if it’s for the greater good and to protect them. He is a comic book character. To make interesting plots you need to have constant drama, wether it be familial or related to the current comic arc, and for that drama to never fully be quelled so you can recycle the same issues over and over. Comic writers benefit from shitty family dynamics and it wouldn’t be profitable if they had an ok family dynamic that was healthy.

With that out of the way, Bruce doesn’t go to therapy. If he does go his therapist would definitely be Harley Quinn. Publicly he might go to a therapist for his Bruce Wayne persona but would flawlessly portray a playboy bachelor and not address any real issues he has to his therapist. I haven’t seen a comic where he either goes to therapy or gains anything from it. I know in the Caped Crusader tv show Bruce goes to Harley and completely avoids feeding her any true problems about himself and walls himself off completely. This is before he has any robins if I can recall.

Hope this helps!

tbh binghorse has been on my tl so much it doesn't even faze me anymore. nor any of the skin creatures really. kinda feels like you've made me immune to the horrors? thanks I suppose 😭

Guys call me crazy but I think the crazy robots would get along swimmingly. The tragic fact that these two don’t have more art interacting is an offense in my rule book and I have come to remedy that. They say you must manifest what you want to see in the world and this is me doing that jskjsksp. I will take initiative! Enjoy a smidgen of Mr. Puzzles and Mettaton art then. Although I think the only reason they initially decided to co-host collaborate together here was the prospect of getting more stars/ratings- because that’s show business babyyyy leverage off of famous people for viewssss/j

Also here is version without the speech/dialogue bubbles! Just two gay bots being fabulous and gossiping or something (platonically. Or you could lean into this being a ship I don’t really care lol). Maybe they’ll exchange some advice about the logistics of incorporating musical numbers in the boardcasts without losing too much revenue on the budget idk. Because if you think about it Mettaton did a musical number in a dress with Frisk and then Mr. Puzzles had his whole Creative Control moment. And both where marvelous performances by the way absolutely slay ✨

My “toxic trait” is supporting the theatrical livelihoods of fictional computers who have committed atrocities, and they both will probably never make an apology video for the attempted murders and trauma inflicting. Wow so girlboss of them :))
