I drew the same comic twice because I didn't think the first one was funny enough. I don't know if the second comic is funnier though??

Here's both of them

Side by side because i couldn't decide which one to put first - knowing the punchline changes the experience?? pick your adventure. read either one first.

which ones funnier i honestly can't tell

Whenever Stu and Billy get into a fight but Stu is craving blood loss, he signs up to donate blood because god, he loves the feeling of his hand going numb as he watches his blood drain out of him

Some super messy doodles of @frayedcircus’s monster falls interpretation

I hc that Mabel uses her spider silk to knit, but before she realized she could make silk, Mabel would shave Dipper for wool. Poor boy.

Sheep legs were just not working for me today, so dipper looks a little funky in every picture. If anyone’s wondering why there’s a bug burger there, it’s because I wanted to draw their diets, and while trying to find an appetizing bug meal for Mabel on google images, I found this

Also a close up of my bug burger bc I’m actually really proud of it

This thing took FOREVER

hold on do people normally just fucking. Drop their stitches for cables or is that just my friend

[frostedpuffs]

someone tell me why, despite that i have multiple tattoos and even sat 8 hours for one of them, getting my blood drawn still freaks me out

[mr-babish-the-bunny]

Feel like if i ever wanted a needle felted replica of mr buns it would cost me a arm and a leg (and possibly a kidney) as his markings are awfully fiddly and distinct....

His ears and back especially.

Hi hi I'm not on t but I do have to do intramuscular injections for other reasons, and I've got a few tips and tricks

By far the number one tip is to trace a grid pattern on your leg (9 parts). I can't sent pictures since anon so here's a Wikipedia file link hope it works: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Injection_Sites_Intramuscular_Thigh_Adult.png

Second tip, also very useful, listen to or watch something, keep your focus from the injection, I usually listen to whatever podcast captures my attention at that time.

Third tip, make sure the liquid is at least somewhat warm, room temperature, idk if T is stored in the fridge but my meds are and it is not pleasant to inject something cold, so give it five or so minutes, the weirdest way to do this is to keep it between your boobs for a bit, warms it up real quick.

Now one thing that I struggle with myself is the speed of which to do it, if you jab it in quickly, you basically can't feel it, but yknow that's scary, and I can't bring myself to do it either

Lastly, switch between legs each injection, so the muscles in your legs have some time to calm down and not get assaulted by needles constantly.

The best thing to remember is that it gets easier each time, before I got diagnosed I had a horrible fear of needles (screaming, crying, panic attacks, I've had to be held down by multiple people at once before just to get a vaccine), and to hear my only solution was frequent injections was basically hell, but these days that fear is completely gone, exposure is one hell of a thing to get you desensitized.

Thank you so much for this super detailed response!!! ;w; I'm so grateful!! 💖

I've done 2 doses so far, and even with help they went... Very poorly (I'm glad I'm not the only one crying over something that feels "simple", its very demoralizing to me x_x) My wife suggested I switch to gel but I really want to get over my fear, your last paragraph really meant a lot for me!! The only way out is... Yknow

Last time we tried putting a video on to distract me, but next week I'm gonna try listening to some happy music, which usually helps me deter bad thoughts and panic! And I'm gonna try to do it myself, even if I'm just sitting there with a needle next to my leg for an hour ^~^' wish me luck!! 🐱

hot take: needles is micheal shelley of the tmap universe, and this can be interpretated as "needles will be treated the same way The Distortion was treated by fans" or, which is my more farfetched, personal and favored headcanon, "micheal shelley, like many others, is cursed to suffer in multiple universes, including the tmap universe and needles is what micheal shelley becomes in the tmap universe"

I really dislike that I keep getting these anons that are dressed as legit concern over a topic, when its really just them trying to needle in some insults.

The last anon was dressing up concern for a lack of support for fanfiction, which is not a nuanced topic, but throws in insults towards my choice of trying to muse about ideas I dont have the steam to write due to a lot of IRL issues and needles in 'where is the support for actual fanfics?'

If you were supporting writers, you wouldn't needle in bullshit like that. Using the word 'actually' further shows that you place a huge line between semi fanfic posts/drabbles and whatever you consider an 'actual' fanfic to be.

The weird anons needling in about how I want to stop being treated weirdly, or how 'big' blogs need to do xyz for fandom, or how I don't talk to other 'big' blogs - using the same language as the previous anon - to tell me they don't care for my blog and want to further needle in some insults with that.

The weird anon that combed through at least a months worth of posts on my personal blog, where I will vent sometimes since it barely has followers and I dont get interaction really on there, to ask very leading questions on what makes a fanfic 'good' verses being 'perceived as good'...

All of it points to a writer or a small group of writers, very upset that their fanfiction isn't getting 'a lot of notes' (who knows wtf they consider 'a lot' and 'too little', its likely skewed) and using my askbox to give me a headache, to spread harmful thoughts, and to needle in a few insults because I guess they just don't fuckin like me and view me as an easy target.

Some of these asks I haven't posted publicly. I have definitely blocked one, maybe more, but they're coming through anyway with the same baseline. I'm going to encourage you guys to look at asks like these with a more critical eye. Don't be me, but learn from my blundering. Thanks.
