sorry if this is a bit of a personal question, but is your lifestyle costly in any way, especially concerning the gas for your (sick) car? and is homesickness inevitable?

i feel like a stationary life in a house for years bogs me down. i don't know if i feel this way because of my current living situation causing me a lot of stress and a lot of bad memories attached to my current home, being in a shitty area, mental illness, or all of the above, but i just don't feel like i can live this way especially with my increasing wanderlust (a strong desire to travel).

it was magical to me seeing your many interactions and various views when you were traveling around the country. it was honestly really exciting! i feel like there's a lot to witness in the world and i want to see what i can in the short time i have on earth. (i think it's why i love visiting my family so much, besides enjoying their presence.)

but i don't want to throw myself head first into it, ya know? i want to know how much it's going to cost me. i would love to travel, but i don't wanna go broke over it! ;^;

i also have a strong attachment to my current home, florida. no other place has really matched its beautiful savannas, messy yet beautiful rivers, crazy plant overgrowth, and the nostalgic noise of cicadas (i even managed to find a shell this summer! it's my most prized possession, physical music aside). but, god... i really feel like fucking off sometime and going elsewhere for a little bit.

sorry if this is a lot of personal details, haha... you just feel very easy to talk to and i would like to have a roaming lifestyle. haven't been attached to people as much lately due to things, and i want to have my own adventures and experiences. maybe it's some sort of natural instinct to finally leave the family? xD who knows

To be honest, I've struggled with mental illness and depression the whole time I've been running this blog, and since I've stopped being homeless the last couple months, I've become a completely different and much happier person.

My comic seems very lighthearted and happy go lucky because I choose to focus on positive parts of my life in my work, it helps me to stay alive. When I was a kid my parents took me out of Mississippi, isolated and abused the shit out of me. My whole life I've actually dreamed of being able to live here and make music and have friends, and the whole time I was homeless I was homesick as fuck and cried multiple times daily. A lot of the drug use I portray is from times I was extremely suicidal, now I'm happy as a clam and don't ever feel the need to get fucked up like that, or hate myself or my life or anything (I don't even drink anymore.)

I've always wanted to help my family, who live in extreme poverty, but as a disabled person felt unable to. Now through my work, I'm able to be healthy and improve my life, and it's extremely satisfying.

I know this isn't the answer you guys probably want to hear. When my life was horrible and I was surrounded by abusers, moving into my car was the obvious choice, and while I was homeless, travelling was the obvious choice. You wear out your welcome one place and have to move on. For a while at first I stayed in one place and kept day jobs, which was difficult because of my condition, then when my old truck broke down I moved into the bando and just shoplifted all my food that wasn't paid for by fan donations. Through the kindness of my fans I was able to go to New York, there I lived on the street, and sometimes slept in parks or crackhouses, which isn't the most fun (although there were lots of funny times also, which I drew comics of, and crackheads can be as nice as anyone when they choose to be.) I was hoping to get treatment for my condition and get on disability, but without a place to stay through winter it was impossible. It was thanks to the generosity of fans that I was able to get a van, and I tried again to move to Mississippi, but things fell apart and I had nowhere to stay, so to avoid police attention I went out west. I had wonderful adventures in california, but still I regretted leaving my family to struggle while I bummed around having fun.

Even times I was really broke, kind people would take me in and feed me. People seemed to go out of their way to be extremely nice all the time as soon as I was out of Mississippi, and when I got out west it was fun to hang out in San Francisco with all the other free people who lived in and around Golden Gate Park (there are many.) Travelling was fun, I made so many amazing friends across the country and had great times, but still it was hard to be truly happy.

I'm very lucky to have the support network I do, my life wouldn't be possible without it. Living in a van is definitely cheaper than living in a house for obvious reasons. If you're going to move into a van, get to California as soon as possible, it's the best place to do it. But if you feel you're in a good situation and have nothing to gain from homelessness, you should just enjoy your nice life and be grateful. And next time you have some extra cash or bud, go hand out some alms to your friendly neighborhood busker. They need it more than you.

[ivoryratdoggerythethird]

finally watched the playthrough for class of '09 flipside and i'm going to pretend none of that happened, thanks. idec enough about the nicole suicide ending where i should've been emotional but i was blank and dry as cardboard because everything preceding it was complete garbage.

that trafficking ending was fucking disgusting. call me sensitive but, hot goddamn take, making jokes about people being actively oppressed over 75 years and recently, being brutally genocided for all to see, running a sex slave ring where they specifically love to rape white girls - yeah, i think it's just a little bit in poor fucking taste.

i love dark humour, i still laugh at the re-up audio clips, but this is utter vomit-inducing bullshit trying to pass itself off as edgy. haha look at the brown guys aren't they horrifying loll all they wanna do is assault american women hahaha. because fuck making actual commentary on anything right? what the hell even was that spy warehouse shit??? half the damn game was nonsensical trash.

i'm so mad i wanted to like this game so bad but sbn3 hates actually having fans so i'm the idiot for trying i guess

these characters weren't even characters anymore, just cardboard cutouts spewing garbage right from the devs' mouths and trying to get themselves clipped for zingers and one-liners, except they forget the part where they're supposed to make it memorable or funny. these girls are reduced to exactly what nicole kept saying society saw them as - tools for misery porn and abuse and projecting sexual fetishes on

also that last inbox calling anyone who criticizes the game pedos? yeah. you're really fucking funny sbn3, you really are. so funny i hope every girl or woman you meet treats you like nicole treats the disgusting creeps in her own world. so figure the weirdos in the game are so effectively gross, they learned from the best

edit: if i've still got anyone's attention here please check this page out and see if you can spare a donation, or at least like and reblog or share to someone who might

[jayjazzjizz]

Guys does anyone who used to play adopt me wanna donate their pets to me for a drawing in return haha I've fell back into the hyperfixation (SOS HELP ME) I'm fine

[mytimeatsandrockzine]

Because of the handful of followers last night we’ve decided to go ahead and lay out some questions and answers we know might be on some minds.

Q and A :

Is the Zine looking for moderators?

Yes! We have participated as contributors for other zines in the past so we know the work behind it and what generally goes on behind the scenes. However, we’re new to the experience of moderating anything like this. We don’t want to go out asking random people to mod who don’t know us but if people offer up help or sign up to help would love to consider! I think we’re more looking to have people also experienced in zines.

Is the Zine looking for contributors?

For the future, yes! Right now? Ehhhh…

Well, you know how it is. We can’t exactly seek out people who wanna join when we’re looking pretty bare bones (and have been for a minute). But we are super interested in doing this and have already planned for a Portia and Evershine zine as well in order to spread the word on Pathea’s games for the unfamiliar ones and fans of their older games as well! We do plan on opening up sooner rather than later since we’ve obviously delayed it enough and people finding this blog and following means there’s SOME interest.

Will the Zine be published electronically or physically?

We are going to be electronic only! Yes, we understand that it would be so super cool to be able to physically have it in hand, but at this time we don’t know any manufacturers that specialize this and none of us have an experience in selling in shipping! It’s not just that though, we understand safety and privacy issues that come with handing over your information to someone you don’t know as well, so we would rather avoid the whole thing all together and just put it online where everyone and anyone can look at!

Is the Zine going to be for free or purchasable?

The plan is to make it 100% for free online for everyone to look at. We aren’t comfortable with profiting off of an IP which doesn’t belong to us in any way, shape or form, and also strongly believe that art should be accessible. For this reason, we instead would encourage you to donate to any water conservation foundations or charities in your area in the spirit of Sandrock’s message. We’ll try to do our own research as well and compile a list for anyone interested!

Who can contribute to the Zine?

Everyone and anyone whose art can be published electronically! This means artists, writers, cosplayers, crafters, etc (and from all over the world)! Perhaps even video or audio is a possibility since it’s all online? We’d love to hear anyone out with an idea and a dream and see how we can fit it in as well! Although we will be using the google forms as a sort of “screening” we generally don’t plan on rejecting anybody regardless of skill level. Everyone belongs in Sandrock and everyone should have a place in the zine no matter what.

Can people collaborate on a Zine piece?

Of course! We’re gonna try to see how to work this out.

Does the zine have any promotional art or cover art?

Not yet, but that was probably obvious given the fact we don’t even have a banner or icon that isn’t the game’s promotional art, haha. We would like to properly commission someone or have someone genuinely down to do this to make it however, and do have a couple of people in mind (who we totally haven’t just looked at on Streamily or Instagram for ideas) but we’ve gotta work out how we’re gonna go about this.

Can we find the zine on other social media?

Nope. We’re not exactly comfortable migrating the project outside of tumblr, so at this time it’s just us here. Our ask box is always open for communications however! Not sure how DMs work though given this is a side blog, but generally speaking it might be a little better to just use the ask box since if YOU have a question, maybe someone else had it too.

Please also note that having a tumblr is NOT NECESSARY!! This will just be used as the main hub for updates and eventually where we hope to publish this. The google form is what will be used in order for people to sign up for submissions and to submit their final pieces. Again, we would like for this project to be as accessible as possible. This is also why we turned on anonymous asks just in case people without a tumblr have a question (last we checked, you shouldn’t need an account to ask a question, right?)

Is there a discord for the Zine?

Nope! Sorry, we don’t have one. We don’t even know if that will be necessary but if it is then we’d have to figure out how to organize it and such (again, we’ve never exactly moderated a zine project before and that kind of extends to Discord servers)

What is the theme of the Zine?

We’ve brainstormed a lot of ideas! A scrapbook theme, Original characters and their stories, friendship, etc… but were really leaning towards just “What you love about Sandrock”. Be it events, characters, scenes , all that! We want it to just be all about your love of the game and how you wish to express that!

Are you partnered with Pathea?

As awesome as that would be…. No. This is the project made up of people who love the game and want to show it by making a tribute to it, nothing more.

Whew, I think that covered everything! Thanks y’all!

[pocket-gems]

I'm genuinely unsure what to do with this blog. Like I do wanna post SU art and I reworked on my style, something I knew I was rusty but dang not that muchh. Here's a WIP of Blizzard to show that yeah I do stuff-

I'm just unsure I guess, unable to focus on the current SU world and so unable to continue. So, requests are open! Never thought I'd say it again but ages have passed so things are calm.

Request rules:

-My own SU ocs

-Random gems that don't exist (labradorite, dumortierite...)

-Fusions. Gay gay

-Idk man just nothing canon or others ocs, im tired of problems

-Gem donations (yes this happened before)

Just any kind of question, I appreciate it haha. It's just nice to see if anyone still shows interest. Spam allowed as long as it's no hate (assuming there's any edkhgdwihg).

I also really REALLY want to judge character designs now that I have kkknowledge so if anyone wants me to critizice your SU oc you can submit the gem. Or not, do what you want.

[loadednachosao3]

(Hiii @eros-thanatos89 here!)

You've been on such a roll lately and just dazzling Lacho nation with an absolute embarrassment of riches of fic, and I've just been gobbling it up like the thirsty little gremlin I am! So thank you!!

Since I love your writing so much, I'm curious: who are some of your favorite writers/what're some of your favorite novels or short stories??

hmmm... GOOD question! I used to work for the library, so I read a LOT (more than just fanfic!), which makes this a hard question as well, lol. especially since I read more nonfiction than fiction!

but let's see...

my favorite classic/taught in schools novel would have to be 1984 by George Orwell. (hilariously/depressingly, right after trump got elected, my department had to buy hundreds more copies because they got requested so much). Orwell's writing is much more accessible to me than many older writers are, save for that whole proletariat essay thing in the middle that made me wanna cut my eyes out. the book is a very relevant and scathing hate letter to fascism, and the right co-opting it when they're the ones it's written about will never fail to piss me off. THEY HAVEN'T EVEN READ IT I KNOW IT I KNOW THEY HAVEN'T

Suzanne Collins may get a lot of billing as a YA love triangle author, but she's absolutely nothing of the sort. The Hunger Games may be a YA series WITH a love triangle, but they're ABOUT so much more. the way she so perfectly captures the flaws of our society in a way that we then completely validate when we make the movies? beautiful. poignant. 10/10.

Bones and All by Camille DeAngelis is one I admittedly never finished, but loved what I read of it. there's a movie that... ok I also didn't finish that one I HAVE ADHD OKAY but the very concept of a girl who, when she experiences feelings of deep love, gets the irresistible compulsion (and the ability) to eat them then and there is just a wonderful concept!

one of my childhood favorites is this book called Molly Moon's Incredible Book of Hypnotism by Georgia Byng. I picked it up thinking it was a manual, lol, but it's actually this cool little story about an ugly orphan girl who gets the power to hypnotize people, and uses it to become rich and famous. they made a movie out of that too, I think, but I never watched it.

the Unwind series by Neal Shusterman is about a dystopian future where the "compromise" to stop abortions is that parents are, up til their child turns 18, legally allowed to give their children up to be "unwound," a process that involves cutting them up and donating their body parts to donors... while they're still alive, so they're not "technically" killing anyone. chilling, particularly the sequence in the first book where we get to see from the perspective of a teen being unwound.

I will never forgive Hollywood for what they did to the Chaos Walking series by Patrick Ness. it's an AMAZING trilogy about a village that contains only men, who are all forced to broadcast/hear each other's every thought (the first few pages capture the chaos of this situation by using varying fonts and font sizes placed haphazardly around the page in a chaotic mess). the reason for the lack of women is a spoiler, so I shan't say more, but lemme just say, Mads Mikkelsen, baby, you were so good as the villain, but the movie version that smashed 3 books into 1 was so trash. talents WASTED.

Ness also wrote A Monster Calls for a younger audience, a haunting but comforting book about grief. I'd recommend it to anyone whose loved ones might be going through a long bout of illness or something of the sort, if you need to feel less alone.

so those are my top fiction picks! nonfiction is a whole other story, haha (no pun intended). I might remember some more later, but I hope this has given you a bit of insight into why I am the person that I am, and where I get some of my writing inspo! thanks for the great question!

[hekkoto]

Lets make this bloody nightmare cute uwu Yo, Im back home. Im back from double bday and name day with my family at some countryside. After drinking ocean of alcohol and eating some yummy food I must say it wasnt as bad as I expected. I also made huge discovery an perhaps turning point when it comes to my healh :> Obviously my feelings were again not validated, nothing new, I dont see point in trying again to be heard and understood. Why would anyone care how I feel, Im sure only my suicide would make them care how I felt. Im used to years of being ignored, it hurts like hell but whatever. From positive note, I read book about grounding and perhaps its something which would help with my poor health. Overall idea is that free electrons from ground [for example when you walk barefoot] connect with white cells which sometimes turn against you and destroy healthy cells by taking electrons from them. It can happen when you deal with immflamation for longer time. So I gonna try walk barefoot eveyrday on nearby field and we will see if this will make me feel better. I hope its something that will help ;3 Oh btw, my husband gonna work overtime this week so I guess I will focus a lot on work :> I plan some big artsy stuff for this week, you will see soon ;3 I hope focusing on work will help me feel better haha wanna support my evil dark empire? Im accepting souls on Patreon and Ko-fi! -> Hekkoto Huge thanks to all of my Patrons and people who donate <3

OOC.

slight vent and update on irl situation ;;w;; !

So - as some of you may know my mom had passed last year in November 2022 due to ovarian cancer. That in itself, is another story of its own that I’m working through with my student psychologist right now. 

However, there is a lot of inner family turmoil thats a result of my mother’s death and it just seems like it snowballed since February of this year. If you guys wanna know the full situation go on ahead and continue or if you guys just want to listen to drama haha XD. I’m already broken beyond belief right now and its taking everything in my willpower to not just hibernate. 

- My family and I are muslims, but my mother was a convert. She was originally from a Catholic family and converted to marry my father. Because of this, my maternal family may not be aware of the customs surrounding islamic funerals and burials. One such custom, is that the belongings of the deceased must be given to family members or donated to people in need. My maternal family - particularly my grandmother, kept stalling and begged my father to wait/to not donate them yet. It wasn’t later that my father realized my grandmother was redistributing the items to her friends and people she knew (because she hates donating to people in need). My father donated all of my mother’s items without telling anyone and it caused my grandmother to freak out. 

- My father started dating again in January 2023 and ‘formally’ married in the end of January (the actual wedding happened in March - he never told me at all about this). My maternal family found out the same time they found out my father had donated all of my mom’s clothes, so they came to the conclusion that the ‘other woman’ was trying to actively throw out everything about my mom and replace her. They’ve turned my useless autistic older brother against my father and step mom.  - The family are continuing to feud over this and are actively pulling me into their messes as mediator, even though I was quite literally still grieving and trying to balance law school all the same. 

- And while thats all happening + on top of school stress and living situation abroad, shortly before I got back home to Indonesia, my step mom and dad kept hinting at me that they have something very important to tell me and that I should mentally get ready for it even though I was already mentally exhausted from all the other shit happening. 

- The thing they wanted to tell me about was one of my mom’s dying regret. That all this time my young cousin (who I actually call younger sister because we were raised very closely) turns out to be my actual younger sister. Her parents - Catholic sister from my mom’s side - couldn’t conceive so they, together with the same grandmother causing a fuss,  pressured my mom all those years ago to allow them to adopt one of her kids. Originally, they wanted to choose me, but I was already old enough to recognize who my parents were. So they ended up adopting my younger sister. My father wanted to tell her as soon as possible because it was my mother’s dying wish but her parents adamantly refused (despite the fact that they watched as my younger sister sobbed over my mom’s body, thinking the entire time it was her aunt) and right now, we’re working for a way for my sister to be able to meet my dad privately without their intervention so he could tell it all to her clearly. 

Yeah my life... I have no idea why it took this k-drama ass turn but I guess this is a good reason why I have never liked K-drama. So yeah! :’’DDD I tend to lurk and enjoy reading your RP threads! But damn, this was already too much for me and I just needed to scream into the void about whats happening in my life. I’m gonna adopt a cat once I get back to the Netherlands and no one can fucking stop me. 

I hope wherever you guys are, you’re doing a lot better than I am!

TAICHI WHAT THE HELL BANRI TOO WHAT THE FUCK

[written-by-leftover-dreams]

just tryna figure out my feelings by looking at other people’s posts and like platonic yes but not even platonic cuddling or anything i just wanna lie next to someone in bed and chat about everything and nothing until we fall asleep but don’t you fucking dare touch me rn cos i will fully freak out and yet other times platonic cuddling is so appealing to me like what please can i just make my mind up and stick with one god damn thing ig at least lack of sexual attraction is remaining constant but i still can’t decide whether i want romantic, platonic or just be fucking weird ass cat lady/person who lives on her/their own for eternity surrounded by books and nature cos that sure as hell sounds bloody wonderful but like maybe i wanna share that with someone in some capacity but also maybe only if they have a separate house from me who fucking knows just gimme some “normal person” feelings please thank you bye

[yellowmintea]

Small update, my goal here is to have at least 1 upload a week for the entire year! That's going to be pretty difficult considering how badly my inspiration comes and goes, and also the fact that my keyboard is running out of space for songs ;;;; But I will keep doing my best!

For an idea of how old my keyboard is, it uses floppy disks 😅 I will see if I can order some floppys or if there is an upgrade I can get for it to help with the space problem!

[one-coming-is-enough]

Uh, me and Ashmedai? Dude, you know I'd never do that to you! He's your sword, your right-hand man. (Or is it left, for you guys? Haha, little Latin joke?) I was mostly totally joking. Cause you were like, "I don't wanna know, Jesus Christ!" And, y'know, sometimes I can't resist the joke.

Good to see my favorite snake with a lion's head! Nice mane you got these days. New face really suits you, very approachable. I always thought the single big eye in the middle of the forehead was a bit much.

Aww, y'know. There's a lot of women who were into me. And a lot of women named Mary, just in general... But it was always kinda weird to think about doing anything with any of them because that's Mom's name. (Not Mother. Human Mom.) Honestly, a little weird to think about doing stuff with human women in general, especially since I knew I was going to die young and I wasn't gonna just leave My earthly kids without their dad.

Anyway, that's old news. How are you and Lilith doing? I know she got mad at you for that business with Samyaza's "bachelor party", and it's not like I can condone any of what went on there, but I don't think it's fair that she's allowed to run around doing whatever with human men and then she gets that mad at you for doing the same thing one time. Did she, you know, donate your sandals to the Temple like she was threatening? I mean, you're the Accuser, it honestly amazes me that you let her walk all over you like that. But that's not really my business either, I guess.

I can't say I'm looking forward to working with you, given the circumstances, but I also haven't actually committed to, you know, "Coming Back" back. I'm literally just here to visit Human Mom and Dad and make sure Mother didn't stick anyone else She doesn't want to think about in Wisconsin again so they can try to end the world before its time eat some chocolate cheese. Maybe play a little Skee-ball.

But also, I just wanted you to know that I appreciate what you're doing. I know everyone gives you shit for being the guy whose literal function it is to argue with Mother about Her decisions, and I know that a lot of the time it makes you look like the bad guy, but I really think you keep Her from making rash decisions that are obviously not going to work out for anyone down the line. And I appreciate that.

I dunno what I'm gonna do if he doesn't come back.

[calentinesday]

loneliness is a hell of a drug and i get panic attacks when high
