love love love thinking about the humans are space orcs concepts bc it gets even funnier for me when I try to apply my own odd habits

like 2 things about me, first being that I walk SUPER quietly, and don’t often announce my presence at all, second is that I have a pretty good sense of direction and can nail down my surroundings after like a day of wandering and I’ll be good, I’ll Know Where I Am

this all culminates into how I act at work, which is I love avoiding people bc I don’t want to talk to anyone (I’m a shop hand so I don’t interact w/ customers) so I actively try and walk quieter, making sure no can hear me on the steps, that the doors close carefully behind me, using every low traffic route I know to avoid people

catch my ass being the local cryptid on spaceship are you joking??? I’m going to turn into those wild animals you lure out with food, as much as I love my coworkers in my real job and undoubtedly in our fake spaceship scenario but I still actively go out of my way to avoid people, would I escape species that have heightened hearing? No of course not, but the fact remains that this looks ominous from every angle, I have scared so many of my coworkers bc I’m Number 1 Lurker, this would not translate well to a spaceship environment 😭

One of them says “in the heat of the moment we were disappointed with each other”

The other says “the biggest problem was involving the media”

Here’s the thing. I believe 100% that there was never any serious beef and that the two talked it out and made up on the plane.

I should really let this go, but even now it seems unfair that the one who blew it up in media gets to say “it wasn’t that deep”, meanwhile the one whose home race and career was insulted is the one who points out the problem was talking to the media in the first place. A problem that has still gone unrecognised in Charles’ comments

I said this last week but I’ll say it again. It’s not fair:

The insults were public. But the apology was only private.

The way White stans decide who's racist or not based on whether they like the person or not should be studied.

Because why are Ryan Guzman stans acting like Lou Ferrigno Jr should be "cancelled" for his racists instagram posts, but Ryan Guzman should be forgiven for his racist takes on how he and his wife should be able to say the n-word.

And why are Lou Ferrigno Jr stans acting like anyone who's brings out Lou's past posts is a hater and just wants to "ruin his career" because of a ship.

You guys have no idea what it's like to start watching a show, a movie and you start liking one of the actors, then, bam, you find out that he doesn't like people who look like you or he doesn't respect people who look like you or he doesn't care about people who look like you.

And honestly, most of us don't have the luxury of wondering if it was a "one time mistake" or if they have "changed". We have to assume that's who they are, because more often than not, that's who they are when no one is around.

It's like that actor from the Boys who liked anti-Black tweets that were mocking a Black woman cosplaying a chatacter in his show. Who does that?

If you've never experienced racism, the best course would be to be silent first and listen to what peope have to say before putting your 2 cents in explaining how "it was all in the past".

Thinking about taking a break for like a week or two even though it will ultimately be more stressful cause I am significantly stressed out about other things in my life ( mostly driving. Almost exclusively driving. )

Like I have the first week of updates for the next mini arc ready and I'm nearly finished the the next page ( and its only 3 pages ) but jfc there's so much going on suddenly and it all kinda hit me rn. Conveniently the night before the start of my work week haha.

its a lot of miniscule silly things but unfortunately thinking about them all at once is making my brain explode a little ;-;

I don't WANT to take a break, especially because once I try to start again I probably won't be able to. I find it very difficult to stop when I have a set routine and then just...not work on something. Which is why some of the Kid Leo arcs in the past have had HUGE lapses in posting :/ I also feel significantly guilty when I take breaks cause I know I don't do as well after I take a break lmao. Breaks usually don't benefit me, which is why I don't take them like ever.

The next three weeks are like...gonna be super busy on the weekends and super stressful driving wise. Like I'm talking long long trips of me having to drive. And then the week after the long trip I am gonna be boothing at a local convention which is always stressful. And I still have to make things for it.

I don't know, I'll decide sometime tomorrow if I wanna go ahead and commit to posting the mini arcs or not. I do plan on taking a significant break after Chapter 12, but that's still a bit away and this is more of an 'emergency break' type situation. Even though its not an emergency. You get the idea.

I don't wanna say for sure if I'm going to take a break cause hey, maybe I'll wake up tomorrow and be like ' man those silicone fumes made me feel like the world was ending lmao' and I'll be fine but it's very much a ' we shall see' type situation. I'll still draft up the posts in case I do wanna post, but this is somewhat of a warning. I'll announce if I really am gonna take a break or not later. I'll probably still be posting regardless, but it won't be full updates or anything like that. Probably just sketches and maybe pics of the stuff I'm cooking up for this convention :)

Anyway TLDR: I MIGHT be taking a break. Hard to say right now.

EDIT: THIS IS ONLY SOMEWHAT RELATED TO THE CATHOLIC GUILT POST OKAY BUT DW I DONT FEEL TOO GUILTY FOR MAYBE NEEDING A BREAK JUST A SIDE NOTE I DONT WANNA WORRY ANYONE!

“if she doesn't want to be called dude i won't call her that” - you are assuming you and your friends read as people trans women feel safe enough to speak up to, while already demonstrating you don't take other people seriously enough.

Your habit and lack of self restraint/awareness matter more than common sense i guess. Like i would never call a transmasc “girl” because that would seem like obvious misgendering, but it's different for trans women apparently.

i can't tell if im being unreasonable about a coworker taking an opportunity away from me. there's this big event we were covering today and as the primary photographer i fully expected to be there doing primary photographer things but out of nowhere this week someone who is superior to me told me that actually they were going to be the one going and taking pictures and i know it's just bc this is such a cool event and they wanted to be there which is so gross to me what am i here for i'm literally THE photographer. and as someone so junior without a huge portfolio or experience this would have been a really propelling moment in my career. the photos they took don't even justify them going i know i could have done much better it's bothering me so much i feel really slighted and taken advantage of by the whole thing like this is my job?? even though i know they didn't really do it maliciously. but i hate any sort of conflict or confrontation so i just went along with it and didn't speak up for myself so it's mostly on me

I was talking with a friend who hasn't been entirely caught up with redacted about the whole YouTube thing, this is basically me talking about it because I found out some stuff

Warning: talk of animal abuse (will be highlighted in red)

So I tell my friend about YT being an idiot, the video being removed, yada yada yada, right? I then go on to say that YT kids is a thing but they still act like everyone on the main platform are toddlers.

They then send a voice note, and tell me that apparently there's some fucked up shit on YT kids too!

Some were things like "Elsa and Spiderman have a baby", you know just weird stuff. But the thing they brought attention to was the fact that there were videos of straight up animal abuse.

There was one channel that would stuff animals into plastic easter eggs, and a cat channel of a lady biting her cats.

And I know everyone has already been saying that there is worse stuff out there compared to a damn sleep aid, I just thought I'd point out how YT kids, their branch app that they mid SPECIFICALLY FOR CHILDREN has some fucked up shit that they're not worried about.

YouTube do fucking better.

we literally got them openly talking about marriage and people already engaging in discourse on day 2 do y’all not get tired

i didn't say anything with that reblog bc it wasn't addressed to me but imo, it was fucking delightful. im still in awe. they did that? on my silly little weewoo show? like. maybe i shouldn't be surprised because of the general kink-friendly undertones AND the general theme of children fucked up by their parents but still i am! and yeah it's because it's a queer couple!

but: as a queer woman, i love what we got in canon, but i wont engage with it in fanon. i skip past it, won't read works tagged with it, it's not for me, i can accept that and move on.

but y'all. just try this. just switch the genders and the gendered word. isn't it delightful? i've joked about having mommy issues with my exes. it's just....normal. it's not ever just a joke, either, it's a bit of a vulnerable moment, underneath the suggestive tone and flirty smiles. but it's so fun! it's so sexy! if you've never jokingly/flirtily/accidentally/purposely called your girlfriend mommy im sorry for you. like it's ok. you can let loose i promise the right person won't be offended or horrified it's not a big deal you don't have to do it in the bedroom you can do it in the kitchen I SWEAR TO GOD.
