#happy new year fuckers i'm sure i'll start getting back to doth sometime this month

...Is your dad Elon Musk?

I mean, I don't have any half-siblings that I know of, but I absolutely would not be surprised if I did. I've thought about doing one of those DNA tests (for other reasons besides that) but they're more pricy than I'd care to spend on a 'lol this would be amusing' test. I don't think he cheated on my mom or anything, not because he wouldn't do that but because he's super paranoid that people are going to steal his money. Including his own daughters. He used to send us cash in the mail for our birthdays/Christmas until he figured out money orders, (and the first year got a money order in Colorado for some reason?) so he wouldn't have to put his address on a check. What's funny is that I know where he was living then. He voted in 2020 so his address was public. I know where he works and his work number and email and shit, sometimes I want to send him a message just to be like "?????" Anyway, he hasn't sent us a card for the last three years, and I haven't seen him in seven.

Oh, the reason he does this is because he pulled some bullshit when my parents were divorcing, like quitting his highly lucrative career to work under the table with immigrants (he hates immigrants, so that thought always amused me) and buying a 40k car (on top of the truck he already had, that my mother bought with her inheritance when her father passed away) so he could claim he couldn't afford alimony or child support. For one kid, since I was eighteen by then. Now he's convinced that my mom is going to 'find' him and sue him and that's worth cutting off his children to him apparently.

Yes, this all sounds very bizarre. It doesn't make any more sense to us on the ground. Honestly, I think there's something going on with him mentally. He did a complete personality 180 when I was in middle school, and since cutting us off he has sent exactly one email to my sister-a nonsensical rant about how she 'wasn't asking the right questions' and needed to understand more about 'the different players' in my parents' divorce. (there is no juicy story in my parents' divorce-he was being a cunt and my mom got sick of his shit. I know she's not lying because my mom has no filter and cannot lie to save her life) He also claimed to have cancer, which-it feels like such an asshole move to accuse someone of lying about cancer, especially considering he actually did have a bout of cancer a few years before this, (stage I, surgically removed, no chemo and never any threat to his life) but the type of cancer he claimed to have generally does not go into remission. So...this sounds terrible to say, but I call bullshit because he'd be dead by now.

...Anyway, yeah. If my aunt called me tomorrow and said that they found a tumor in my dad's brain that was fucking with all sorts of shit, my response would be "that explains so much actually."

a drawing of Doth, the masterpiece

@thedawningofthehour

So, I was reading Third From the Son, DOTH, by Faiakishi, and I got to that infamous moment where Galois yells at Leo about his brother being dead and being consumed by crabs at the bottom of the ocean. If in itself the scene of him on the verge of a mental breakdown due to the sadness, confusion and guilt (among other emotions) that thinking about Donatello causes him and his ending brought me strong images, this definitely cements them. As is my custom, I had to use my older sibling's cell phone to draw.

I did my best, don't strangle me too hard. I tried!

I really like this work and its construction, not only of characters, but of worlds. I had made other drawings before, but I didn't dare to upload them. hope you like.
