Why would you—That's not—I just wanted to ask for help, why did you have to go and make it awkward???
[First] Prev <–-> Next
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#wei wuxian#xue yang#Its such a relief to not have to draw so many characters once again.#Redrawing the specific font from the English translated mdzs books was surprisingly fun!#Maybe I'm alone in this...but I think characters switching to a different font of speech for *emphasis* is peak comedy#you can't communicate voice changes of sound very well in non audio forms so this is the best I can do.#Anyways...rip Xue Yang. You finally meet your idol and he brushes you off#Rather— he doesn't live up to the expectations you built in your head#Kind of an on going issue there Jester (I refuse to call him king or sir)#XY is constantly making people out to be the versions he needed them to be to feel justified in his actions#but struggles to pivot when confronted with the fact that these ppl are *more* than just one surface reading!#wwx doesn't actually think xy is flirting. He's just tired of all the fake fans + wants to get out of this convo.#button mashing the A button to skip the unskippable cutscene#Lan Wangji is in the next comic btw. I've missed him dearly. I'm sorry he's been gone so long </3#edit: poorly spelt MDZS strikes again. This is why I need more time to write my comics. So I can actually proofread B*(#edit2: I cast 'Power of Technology' and fixed my error. Everyone reblog this version instead please

it’s giving Jake MAMMMM vibes
So I've just reinstalled Space Cadet Pinball. Which button launches the ball? Why is there a tilt button? Why would I want to press a button to lock me out of the controls. Bullshit. Also why is the board so bullshit why does it always send my ball down the center? Also why can't I stop playing it? It's been like three hours?

I’m tempted to start making American Psycho video essays because at this point the YouTube selection for our fandom is limited to one of the following:
1) American Psycho Ending (Explained Like I’m 5)
2) IS PATRICK BATEMAN A PSYCHOPATH OR A NARCISSIST? — TikTok Psychologist Weighs In
3) How to Dress Like Patrick Bateman as a High School Freshman
4) Patrick Bateman sigma phonk edits compilation (i’m literally him) 🐺🥶🗿🔥
#american psycho#there’s just so many interesting themes throughout the book and the film and it’s redundant to reduce it to the same tired old topics#also no patrick is NOT A FUCKINF SiGmA mALe#and you are not literally him#go do your homework#anyway idk#i need to learn how to edit#or we could work together…#hmmm#patrick bateman#american psycho memes#bret easton ellis#mary harron#patrick bateman x paul allen#christian bale

#in other news: I decided to try out that reading tracker Fable#not at all for the social aspect (ew) but because the various trackers looked pretty#readers: I hate it 😅#navigation is a nightmare#editing reading details is next to impossible because I can't find any of the options I need#and I am not the kind of person who updates a tracker every time I read a bit of a book#(this is why I hate how my library does their summer reading program. girl I don't know how many MINUTES I spent reading yesterday!)#*scuttles back to my beloved storygraph* I'm sorry I lusted after pretty graphics#your pie charts are enough for me

me, stupidly and weirdly resistant to listening to audio books vs reading a physical book for no real reason: man i wish there was a way to like, read a book while i crochet like i do with tv shows and movies and podcasts
#toy txt post#my reasons are irrational you dont need to try to talk me into it. i KNOW#its very silly of me#imagine how much reading i could get done. but alas. Feels Bad#even listening to a more. uh. Story type podcast or fiction like nightvale was a bit difficult to start for me. i like nightvale now i#listened. but i worry that is clocking in my brain as an Exception 😔 maybe it would be easier if i tried some nonfiction books? scary#i also struggle with single host podcasts apparently even tho im also ehhhh on the kind where the structure is the host Interviewing a#different person everytime? maybe it would be okay with a nonfiction audiobook tho cos it would be getting read by a narrator and not sound#so much like a guy ranting into a mic which makes me feel a little insane. altho propaganda doesnt necessarily always sound like a guy#ranting into a mic so idk. i could probably make it through if i can find a nice book about like. parasitic worms. i could tolerate#feeling like im falling into sigma male affirmations videos for worms i think. wormffirmations are allowed#*to clarify i dont listen to those but listening to better offline makes me feel like im morphing into the kinda guy who does and i hate it#which feels unfair cos he is RIGHT and the podcast is good but i need there to be like a cohost there to break the tension of the Ranting#sometimes he has guests on? but its not quite the same#i think the format i like best is either like 2 or 3 regular cohosts discussing things within a specific topic#OR. 1 host whos like infodumping to the other host who knows nothing about the subject. OR. 2 hosts info dumping to each other about#different aspects of the subject. OR. 1 host who brings on fun guests to infodump to them about a subject. and then obviously the subject#needs to intrigue me. ex. sawbones well theres your problem (I HATE THAT THIS ONE IS BEST EXPERIENCED ON YOUTUBE😭 I WANT THEM TO JUST DUMP#ALL THE SLIDES INTO A BIG BLOG POST SOMEWHERE AND I CAN CHECK IN AND FOLLOW ALONG THAT WAY WITHOUT HAVING TO HAVE MY PHONE SCREEN ON THE#WHOLE TIME!!!!!!!!! but. im listening for free so its unreasonable to demand more of them BUT ALSO I FEEL LIKE JUST COPYPASTING ALL OF THE#SLIDES INTO A BIG BLOG POST ISNT THAT MUCH MORE EFFORT THAN EDITING A WHOLE YOUTUBE VIDEO? WAAAAAH. THEY DONT NEED TO BE TIMESTAMPED OR#ANYTHING JUST THROW EM IN ILL FIGURE IT OUTTTTTT#anyway. also more than 3 hosts is really pushing my ability to keep track of voices.#anyway: sawbones wtyp tpwky behind the bastards scam goddess#(which is true crime adjacent but focuses mainly on scams and isnt copaganda and laci is funny and cool)#common descent pod completely arbortrary maintenance phase if books could kill#deep sea podcast has more bringing ppl in to interview them about shit than i personally enjoy but i put up with it cos i do like the hosts#and the subject

thinking of rereading the entirety of HoME again. for my health
#‘for my health’ says the woman who has been struggling so much she’s barely read a book in the last half year lmao#silmarillion#(eh close enough)#tolkien#personal#also because I got so viscerally appalled when someone the other day tried to claim that ‘the second age has a lot less written about it tha#n the first age’ like I beG YOUR PARDON LMAO WHOMST#clearly someone hasn’t read unfinished tales 🙂↔️ clearly someone hasn’t read the entirety of HoME 🙂↔️#and like obviously idc idc I’m not a completionist truther read as much or as little of a fandom as you want enjoy what you want etc.#but when I went ‘oh there’s actually a lot in unfinished tales and in the home! it’s rly fascinating and fun and some of my favorites have y#ou had a chance to check it out ever?’ this person rly had the audacity to say they’ve ’read some of the unfinished tales’ like hm. somethin#tells me I don’t believe you lmao#I have never once in my life heard someone call. unfinished tales. the book. titled unfinished tales. ‘the unfinished tales’ like lmao what#anyways. it’s okay to admit you haven’t read something babe I was actually gonna recommend a few parts of that book and HoME you might enjoy#but 💋 okay then 💋#also normally I’d give ppl the benefit of the doubt but this person is Like This TM a lot and always has to outdo others & im over it lmao#but also also anyways. I am not immune to the HoME rereleased editions with that gorgeous artwork they are calling me and I am weak to#resist their siren song 😭😂 they’re so beautiful but each set of like 3-4 books (some have 3 some have 4 and the last one also has an index)#are like. over $100 each lmao ripppp.#I do own a few of the HoME but I don’t own all of them and. aaaaaa I need a complete reread#13 yo me 🤝🏻 late 20s yo me : going ‘hmm life is crazy maybe I need to immerse myself in the obscurent most dense Tolkien lore I possibly can#and yknow what. we’re so right. we’re so right#the history of middle earth#unfinished tales#and that conversation. as weird and posturing as that person was being. did get me reminiscing about my HoME obsessed days and I was like aw#I should revisit that :)#sometime self care is rereading 12 volumes of obscure lore about a fictional world with no one to talk with it about#anyways home my beloved. unfinished tales my beloved. love those books#obviously OBVIOUSLY I love the silmarillion and LOTR and the hobbit and beren and luthien etc etc ad infinitum as well! ofc! I just. I love#all of them ♡ hehe ♡

I just looked at the price on the back of a book I’ve had for a bit over a decade and it was four. fucking. dollars. Just four with no taxes. No extra 97cents or something before taxes. Just a round number that you would add taxes to.
I googled the price of a new edition and it was almost thirteen! Not an even thirteen, it was like 12.96 or something. Close enough that it’s basically thirteen but if you’re adding multiple items together to try and get the price on a purchase with more items it would add more confusion.
#emma posts#it was also a bit difficult to find a new copy on my phone#the edition I have was selling for wildly varying prices as a vintage book now#but that’s just a kids chapter book from a fairly large publisher#I know inflation happens and stuff but holy shit#buying things at the book fair makes so much more sense now#I bought that for 4$ plus taxes at the schoolastic book fair#it was maybe 12 years ago?#I could look at the publishing date for a better idea#the series had just switched publishers and the first few were being re-released at the time#before the new publisher and the author finished the series#four dollars though#I had to check the book because I know the current price of many paperbacks and I knew that series was still in print#but what lead to this was the price tag falling off an old brush I found from like. 2009 or 2010#and the tag on this very large brush was seven dollars#which seemed cheap so I looked at current brush prices online but since the exact same brush isn’t being sold and brush prices vary more#it was a bit harder for me to get an idea of it. books though. books I know#I’ve even bought stuff from that publisher recently (they have a lot of novel and comic translations)#but it also struck me how the old price tag was an even four and an even seven dollars but all new ones had 97 or 98 cents#that ten dollars from helping out grandma wouldn’t have even gotten me one book with modern prices#but back then I could get TWO#even just seven could have gotten me a book and some fun school supplies back then#to have that experience now you would need to give your kid a 20$#I understand inflation okay? I am just taken off guard rn and having realizations#I’m going to add to this post again. when I say wildly varied vintage prices I mean WILDLY varied#one dude was trying to sell it on Amazon for 55$ but on eBay it was 4 to 5$#I bought the next three books in the series from that same print. signed. for 13$ together#I had older editions of those and wanted a full series of just the ones that were being re-released during my reading time

okay i know i said yeseo is dense but manages to make it endearing. but over 130 chapters in with him still being this like...not even dense really its more like he's refusing to learn or change his biased preconceptions about cedric, now im starting to wanna strangle him a bit.
#like. dude. how much linger are you gonna refuse to examine everything he's doing for you ans how he cares for you#sure you're friends now but this is like. insane how much you just assume mean intent from him#AND LIKE. YOU CAN ASSUME GOOD INTENT FROM HIS MOTHER JUST FINE??? AND THEYRE SUPER SIMILAR#hes just super autistic can you please be a bit more receptive towards his emotionsss#and like. its not that yeseo is Unkind to cedric but he does not at ALL realize just how unfavorably biased he is towards him#and it sucks sooooo bad#not that cedric is entirely blameless he needs to control his temper and do away w at least a bit of his pride#(cough stubbornness)#but like. come ON yeseo#i know you have a mental divide between you and these people bc youre like 'im in a book and they actuallynlive in this world'#but it is so extremely pronounced with cedric#he can treat everyone else as a person instead of a character EXCEPT cedric#even worse is that he doesnt even treat him as a Character bc good characters are non-static. they grow and change#he treats cedric like he is completely static and will always be exactly the way he is in the book and it drives me fucking insaneee#it huuurts like. its not even funny to me at this point. yeseo can you please view him as his own person for 2 secondsss#EDIT: IM STILL UPSET LIKE. YESEO. HOW DO YOU HEAR CEDRIC LEGIT GO 'as you wish' AND NOT GET IT#YOU RECOGNIZE EVERY REFERENCE THE AUTHOR MADE SO FAR BUT NOT THAT ONE??? BE SERIOUS

Never want to read another gay historical romance set in a world war because Ninety One Whiskey left me in absolute shambles and I don't know whether I'm afraid the experience won't ever be replicated or that it will.
#every so often you come across an author that make you go 'this is FANFICTION?? this is fucking DESTIEL FANFICTION??#what the FUCK do you mean you're TWENTY THREE????' and then you have to put your head between your knees and never recover#anyway it's 400k words and I have been emotionally unsound for the last four years#still don't know how to handle her So Says The Sword#'there's a masterpiece of english literature on ao3 but you might need to watch one of the worst tv shows ever created to understand it'#EDIT: SHE CAME BACK LAST MONTH AFTER 6 YEARS TO WRITE ANOTHER N-OW ONE SHOT FOR RALLY FOR PALESTINE!!#gay romance#gay historical romance#book recommendations#book recs#fic recs#fanfiction#knee of huss#komodobits

Okay I’m sure this is gonna get screenshotted at some point, but if you mean to tell me your all-powerful “God” is letting all this racism, colonialism, war, famine, pollution, xenophobia, transphobia happen “for a reason” I’m going to explode. I’m automatically gonna discredit your reputation for talking about & knowing about a piece of media especially when you emphasize how you’re a “Christian” so there’s “one objective truth” and anyone else who says otherwise is “wrong.” Never thought I’d hear some shit like that (the second part, the first part I heard in a church long ago) in a reacting to Homestuck video, but here we are.
#don’t name names if you know who I’m talking about#please just don’t I don’t need that drama#this is a vague post even if it’s oddly specific#that being said if the homestuck youtuber reaches out and I’m misremembering then hey that’s my bad I’ll edit this post sure okay#but jfc does that rub me the wrong way when a Christian goes on and on about how Christian they are like- mmmm that’s uncomfortable#the first part didn’t happen in the YouTube video I was watching JUST TO BE CLEAR#The first part DID NOT GET SAID IN THE VIDEO#I’m just saying some shit there I heard in church as an ex-Christian that pisses me off#gotta love when a Christian tells you that ‘you’d be wrong’ hey I’m not the one worshipping a book about a guy who got white washed by#the colonial state that’s on y’all#if you know you know if you don’t I’m not telling as I don’t want anyone from my community dogpilng anyone thanks leave me out of your shit#mine#op
