I made a Clip Studio TIPS guide on consistently working on a webcomic! If you're struggling to start your own or having trouble being consistent I hope this guide can offer some help!

You can click here if you wanna read it for free and are sick of me pitching it to you!

In the guide I go over:

Tips on planning your comic

Tips on creating a production pipeline, and an example of what I use

Tips on planning how to sit down and actually WORK on your comic

Ideas on how to stay motivated while working on a long-running comic

Practical advice to keep improving your production pipeline

If any of that sounds helpful, please consider reading it, favoriting it for later, or sending it to a friend who keeps saying they want to make webcomics ^.^

A lot of the people that I follow on Twitter write their tweets in Portuguese and I’ll use the translator on the app to read them (it’s a pretty good way to pick up new words tbh!) and one of my absolute favourite phrases that I see a bunch is when there’s tweets like “if *insert something that we really want to happen on the qsmp today but is pretty unlikely* happens eu dou o meu cu” which always translates to “I’ll give my ass” and I’ll be honest the translator can be a bit whack on there sometimes but if that’s not the correct translation I’ll cry because that is an INCREDIBLE saying. Like I burst out laughing every time I read it, I love it so much. Certain words and phrases from the languages on the QSMP have really stuck in my head and become part of my vocabulary through listening and reading them so often and this is honestly one of my favourites to come from reading. When it was still being figured out if Richas would lose his first life I saw a tweet that translated to “IF RICHARLYSON'S DEATH IS CANCELLED I WILL GIVE MY ASS AND SO WILL ANYONE WHO READS THIS” and when I read that I was like yeah I agree like this situation is intense I will give my ass if he gets to keep both his lives like there’s not really an English equivalent that is as hilarious and holds as much weight. What an incredible language

Good evening, it's been a long time since I've sent anything, how's it going? all good?

hi! it's going well! i've been studying for the LSAT lately which is hard, but writing about athena and nightingale have been my little brain breaks.

boys are sooooo boring and annoying sometimes, i get tired of them so easily. like the desire to have a bf that i've had for soooooo long is at its lowest rn which actually feels really good and different? but at the same time it's disappointing bc i'd still like to be able to connect with someone on a physical and intellectual level and commit to them. but not atm, ykwim? bc boys are so lame and just not meeting my standards.

i've had multiple female friends advise me literally to "lower my standards" for looks, behavior, or both. and i always respond to them with skepticism. every time i'm talking to a new boy i try to tell myself to "go with the flow", be casual about it, and not expect certain things yet i steadfastly CANNOT lower my standards.

which i actually think is a good thing. i don't want it THAT bad that i'll settle for any dude, that's how much it actually means to me to have a meaningful romantic relationship.

if i am not satisfied during the talking stage or after the first date/first few dates, i'm going w my gut and ending things there bc otherwise there's no point. i know what it feels like to have a genuine connection w someone and be excited by them and if i don't feel that, i'm not forcing it.

i'm very glad for the experiences nonetheless bc in the past i had put the GOAL of "having a boyfriend" so high in my mind bc i didn't actually know what the feeling of dating around was like. now that i do i can see it's not smth i wanna chase and chase and chase forever and in fact it'll happen when it's meant to

OKAY BUT ACTUALLY I used to not really "get" modern/abstract art, even when I was a student studying to get my degree, and I had to make some my freshman year. And honestly, I didn't get it until at a museum trip standing in front of a large solid black painted canvas one of my professors explained to me that the solid black canvas was painted by hand. There was no indication that there was ever a brush there whatsoever, it looked printed. And yet it was hand-painted, and even more so the artist had mixed the paint for that themselves. And that shade of black was consistent. If you've ever tried to mix paint for yourself, or hell even get colors matched, you know how hard that is.

That experience alone cemented the fact that at least as far as my personal understanding of abstract art, it's a really valuable way to explore artistic concepts (color, rhythm, etc) without the complications of adding a subject that people start attaching meanings you don't want to it. It's a way of just getting so lost in the making part, in just the aesthetics. It's also a way of saying something really complicated in a really simple manner if you do end up using subjects or names that are recognizable.

Anyway that's my mini 7am ramble about abstract and by extension modern art.

Okay it’s 7am and I haven’t slept and I’m in tears over the Tina and Bagi date and I just want to ramble a little. The queer representation in this server means more to me than I can express. I’ve only recently over the last year or two fully come to terms with the fact that I’m way more attracted to women than I am men and it’s like a whole lot of internal stuff because I was raised catholic went to catholic school up until I went to university yada yada you know the deal and to see that date be filled with so much love and sincerity and nervousness but assuredness that they both want the other after so much of my life it being told to me that a relationship between two women isn’t “a real relationship” and it’s not “fulfilling” but to then see these two characters who are girls sit there and openly talk about loving every part of the other and being willing to wait for them to be ready to be together how is that not fulfilling? How is that not loving someone at its core? I shied away from content with relationships between women in it for so long because because it meant I would have to acknowledge a part of myself that I tried to not look at and a way that I really sat with myself and worked through all of that was watching movies and tv shows that featured positive representation (which there’s not a whole lot of but that’s a different topic of conversation GIVE ME MORE STORIES WITH QUEER WOMEN) and just sitting down and watching the qsmp, a piece of media that’s bought me a lot of joy and comfort these past months, and then to see this on it tonight idk it just meant a lot to me 🩷

It's crazy how some of my favorite parts of this IF are off-shoots that few people will ever see. Choices of choices of choices that most people won't navigate through -or meet all the necessary checks- to find.

This is one of the best and worst mediums to write, istg 🥲
