my cat has taken it upon herself to be my bathroom buddy and recently she's added into the routine "sit on sink and purr in ear" SPECIFICALLY when i use the bathroom in the mornings. i do not understand why she does this, but she's so cute i cant even pretend it doesnt make me smile

not-yet-dead-person

silly comic of a conversation in-game i thought was too funny not to make something proper for instead of a doodle ww

(timelapse + wip images (thus silly process commentary in read more if you like artist commentary :3)

i think the sketch looks silly and goofy and funny so i find it important to share with you the mere presence of the faces i drew on it. i drew it on top of the boxes without staying inside its borders because i find my proportions can get wonky if i draw them cropped in a restricted space. and I feel trapped otherwise and i will draw BAD!!! give me spaceeeee to go wild!!!!

the head circles are there for emotional support

very low res speedpaint because truth is the canvas was much bigger than the space where my comic was placed. i didnt account when exporting my timelapse in 720px that that tiny space would look so pixelated ... but it's able to be percieved, so its okay.

(i will now comment on my process and it is not brief sorry)

usually i would try to clean up my sketches and figure out what goes on top before jumping into linework, but since there are multiple panels and drawings i chose to jump into inking right away for the sake of brevity. i just went in with a brush that uses pen pressure and drew what was needed. i added extra line thickness and contrast in areas around the face because it helps direct your eyes there more easily that way.

according to her equipment rei has a chain belt but i only remembered it existed once I was going to color, and i did not like that discovery... I chose to ignore it to maintain my peace. i already have the color palettes for these characters figured out, and i didnt really want to think about a new element at the moment www I tend to overthink those things a lot so i skipped it

the rest is rather straightforward! not that anything else wasn't, but in here i could turn my brain off and sing. linework and sketching require mumbling so i cannot turn my brain off. just block in the characters with a solid color so i can have a mask (something along those lines,) where the color can stay inside. then just color in !!!

Base colors just had slight cell shading on the skin, and for the hair i airbrush a bit of the skincolor in low opacity near the forehead... I'm not sure what it means, but i can look at the faces easier with it somehow. i like the gentle subtlety it adds even if you cant really tell. it makes things look nice.

background was just me blocking in the color of the wall and floor, shade the wall a bit, then slap a noise and free use wood texture on top. work smarter not harder ! yet it took a bit to make it look stylistically fitting with the characters, and even now i think bottom middle panel looks odd. whatever!!!

for the middle panel i thought itd be funny if the background was a solid silly and colorful one to contrast the next panel's sketchy black one. a contrast to how the word widow is seen. on that note my handwritting is not pointy. i gaslighted my hand into thinking that it was indeed pointy in that moment so i could write "not-yet dead person" in letters that didn't seem cute. my hand did not fall for it but it complied anyway

that's basically it! I'm not sure what else i could say that doesn't feel barebones because it really is that straightforward. if you're curious I used clip studio paint for this. only special brush used was for linework (a brush named Lemon Brush), the rest used were just the default. my computer gets the least credit. it was trying to convince me a 20mb file was going to nuke it all the time and hardly let me save multiple times so i do not appreciate it

Still thinking about Spiderpeople (and people connected to those Spiderpeople) from the universes where it seems an awful lot like they’re the only heroes landing in a universe where it’s one of the Spiderpeople who’s surrounded by other heroes like the Avengers and the Fantastic 4, etc

And obviously because of this they’re gonna be extra careful about secret identities because of all the extra heroes who aren’t Spidey hanging around, and I’m just thinking about the Prowler (Aaron) trying to figure out if he’s alive or even existing in this universe while trying not to give away too much so he’s just like “who’s the coolest bald man you know?”

And Spidey’s like “oh!! I know exactly who you want!! follow me!!”

He brings them to Nick Fury.

Later on they run into what’s obviously a variant of Miles, who the other Spidey of that universe didn’t bring up because Miles isn’t known as “Spiderman” in that universe (maybe it’s like “arachnikid,” or it’s Prowler!Miles, or maybe he’s just going through a phase where he’s trying out a new hero name each week, etc)

So Aaron’s like “oh great, I can definitely ask him, but again I gotta be discrete because of all these extra heroes around” so he asks him in the exact same way he asked the other Spidey (“who’s the coolest bald man you know?”)

Miles also brings them to Nick Fury.

(Yes his uncle is still alive, yes the other Aaron is absolutely gonna tell on him)

Also! Because there’s so much emphasis on the other heroes handling “big stuff”, I like to imagine they all keep trying to insert themselves into the situation because it’s a multiverse situation which falls under “their jurisdiction” and Spidey’s just like “??? they’re all Spiderpeople tho, this is my thing, go away, shoo”

For years, severe insomnia had me writing at night. I'm not a night owl, not by any stretch. For the last several nights, I've tried writing this extremely smutty scene, but to no avail. My brain begins preparing for closing at around 8PM, knocking me into a stage of stupid by 10PM as it demands I go to bed. I take my edible (I cannot use Rx sleep aids, but the edible I use works magic) and fight bedtime like a damn child. By 11PM, it's kicked in fully, and I'm walking around with just one eye open and constantly touching my face and hair. No point in fighting sleep, so off to bed.

My natural wake-up time is six hours after crashing. Doesn't matter when I go to bed. Damn near exactly six hours of sleep, and then I cannot sleep anymore. This morning, I was up at 7:18AM, and decided to stop being stupid and try writing now instead of the evening.

Wow, look at that. 1400 words in the span of an hour, and I'm not even halfway done. Gosh, it can't possibly have anything to do with me following my body's natural cycle, can it?

I'll have this delicious filthy chapter posted by the end of the day.

Yesterday at the high school I was in for this art teacher and they all had like projects they were gonna present to work on in Google classroom, so like many days as a substitute teacher it was quiet and I mostly just sat at the desk and read. But then this one kid in my peripheral vision was looking at me and when I glanced over her laughed a little. And I looked away cuz I was like whatever maybe he was whispering smth w his friends.

But then he says "I have a question"

"Yeah?"

"What two colors make purple?"

"Oh. Red and blue"

"Thank you... I appreciate the no judgment answer"

I didn't even think about it lol

[tardis--dreams]

Me panicking because i have 9 missed calls and 5 emails talking about my absence and how "a colleague could take over for me" vs. Me knowing it's really not that important no matter how pushy a client is and that on top of it I'm underpaid and have way to much overtime so i shouldn't even care

Years ago when I was in middle school I was in a movie club in which we would watch movies and then discuss them

And at some point we watched a movie where the main character had autism

When it ended the teacher asked us if we knew/had autistic persons in our life etc, you know the experience ✨

Now, my friend, who I used to be best friends with for many years (we now don't talk anymore but that's irrelevant) has a twin autistic brother

By the end of the movie she was obviously touched

I don't remember whether she was crying or holding back tears

But anyway

The teacher asks, "Do you know any autistic persons?"

Some say their cousins, their uncles etc and sharing experiences they had together or something

And this dude

"[Name]'s brother. We were in the same school"

Like. The audacity

I was so mad at him

Like my friend was obviously unwell and your experience with autistic people was her brother?

DUDE WAS NOT EVEN IN THE SAME CLASS AS US

Like we were what? 50 people in there? The 25 went to the same school, 15 or less in the same class

(forgot to clarify, her brother was in the same class with us throughout primary school and then went to a special school)

So like, half the people there knew about her brother, the half of the half had him as a classmate for 6 years and this dude who was in the ΣΤ2 class was like yes i know autistic people. Her brother

Like dude?? I sat with him daily on the bus for years when she had ολοήμερο and I wouldn't point him as an example he probably never even talked to him

Anyway the teacher then turned to my friend and asked if she wanted to share with the class, so she said a few things, I don't remember much, probably "yes, my twin brother is autistic, it's hard" or something at this point I think I just held her hand, or hugged her cause she was tearing up

But to this day I'm still mad at this random dude

25 people shared your experience of having him as a school mate, she shared the experience of being his twin you're not the same it's not your story to tell

[abrahamvanhelsings]

me: i admire the pro-palestine protests at the university of amsterdam bc it takes a lot of bravery to have the police clean you out violently day after day but it is not a good call on the part of the protestors to use violence and destruction themselves, bc i understand the impulse, but this will only hurt your movement an your cause bc the media will portray you like criminals and give no attention to what you're actually there for (university breaking all bonds w/ israel)

someeone else, in response: yes the violence is really coming from both sides equally

me: bootlicker spotted 🫵🏻
