Always had this image of Spamton not really knowing what to do after the Addisons left him, so he tries to seek comfort from the one person he did have back then. It’s lonely at the top.

Image description: Spamton sits on the edge of a bed in a darkened bedroom, his expression shadowed and sombre. He is wearing his Big Shot Era suit of red. Behind him, there is a window displaying a view of Cyber City; the lights are animated and they flicker. Spamton is holding a cigarette in his right hand, his left is occupied with a phone that he is speaking into. At the bottom of the image, there is a caption of Spamton saying: "The [sales!] are great. I just wish my frie-" The dialogue is cut off by another caption, which reads: "[Voice On Phone] It sounds like you're going to cry. I'm here to work with you, not coddle your insecurities. Get a grip." End of image description.

"Brother" and "Sister" are trans inclusive of course! Feel free to tag with which sibling is which to you.

Lyra, my beloved cat of 13 years, passed away this year on Father's Day. She's been by my side through very difficult times and was my little rock of steady and unrelenting love. I struggled a lot drawing this, and struggled a lot posting it, but I know I would've wanted to read a comic like this that validated my grief for her when I lost her.

Wherever you are, Lyra my little summer star, I love you always! Thank you for being the best thing in my life.

help I need career advice.

on the one hand I can keep trying to get a job in IT in my ongoing struggle to break into a new industry. these jobs, if I ever land one, will no doubt be entry-level pay and a lot of grunt work, plus potentially arduous car travel all over the region, in a field of IT I don't even really care about necessarily. on the plus side, I get something relevant on my resume, some references/referees in the field, and get to work and network with some people who can maybe help me get to where I want to be. one of the jobs (the one with travel) is only 2 days a week, so the money will suck, but I'll have time to work on my own projects.

VS.

a job currently going at my local council to be the coordinator of the vet clinic and the community programs aimed at improving the responsible animal care and management in the city. as an experienced veterinarian I have immediate skills I can apply to this, plus a thousand and one ideas to revolutionise pet care education. it pays significantly more than I ever got paid as a vet, and more than the IT jobs I feel I have a reasonable chance of getting. BUT I am terrified that it will mean I'll be responsible for managing the budget of the council's vet clinic and animal shelter, and deciding the number of animals that get saved vs put down. (my city gets no support from RSPCA, there's only the council pound and 2 volunteer rescue organisations). I'm worried that the vet clinic management side will completely consume all of my time and leave me no room to implement my desired drastic changes to pet care education. I left the veterinary industry to salvage my mental health and don't want to get badly caught up again. I'm also worried all of my new IT skills will languish and I'll never get closer to launching a career in this industry. but otoh, a lot of the stuff I want to do with IT involves trying to bring about change to improve the lives of pets ...

HANGING ON THE EDGE OF TOMORROOWWWW

[drivemysoul]

every time there’s suddenly a hate campaign against a female celebrity, the internet comes forward with their attitude of “i know the LAST one turned out to be a misogynistic and manipulative smear campaign after a woman was being abused and taken advantage of, but THIS TIME it’s real and justified” and then it never is and the cycle just repeats endlessly

was recently having talks about saving up for a several-week vacation with my partner and he said something that i seriously cannot stop thinking about and i need to Ask The Audience

this is not cumulative, you must have spent over 14 calendar days outside of your hometown in one stretch to be able to hit Yes

i’ve never asked for this before but if you could rb for reach that’d be cool, this is a straight up potential worldview-shattering revelation right here and i need data if im gonna shatter my dang worldview

Can’t wait to see how these childhood friends’ relationship develops in the game, honestly.

More retro-anime-inspired stuff.

Image description: Noelle and Kris walk together, both in their Light World forms, framed from their torso-up. To their backs is a blue sky with scarce clouds, and a hedge-line on their right. Noelle stands on the left. She is laughing nervously with her eyes shut and is blushing. Kris is beside her, their expression is bemused. At the bottom of the image is a caption for Noelle's dialogue, which reads: "Susie like chalk? Guess I'll have to buy a box now!" End of image description.

Continuing on my Live and Learn happy happy fun times:

They primarily hang out with Edge and Tomorrow (Edge is a Shadow Chao with green stripes instead of red; Tomorrow is a Silvaze fankid whom I have yet to create)

Their Power-Type friend is Romeo Rose (Amy's robot child)

I like to think combat training for these two became more complicated as they got older, if you know what I mean

I colored the last one first and then lowered my standards. give it up for 10yo ambrosius and his glaringly yellow shirt

rewatching Avatar is so weird because Sokka is literally the only thing keeping them alive and fed. He constantly is like,

'guys we're out of supplies/ we need to stop/ we're attracting too much attention with the flying bison we should walk' etc.

Like in the ´The Storm' when they're completely out of money and supplies the one to get a job in hopes of making money (he never actually gets paid, the world hates him) is Sokka.

In 'The Waterbending Scroll,' it's Sokka who's concerned about their lack of supplies when Aang sends them in a wave down the river, and is making sure they're careful with their spendibg when in town shopping.

He's also seen to catch fish and gather nuts (I know more often than not he fails to catch things on screen but it's implied he's the one that does most of the hunting and gathering)

It's like- Aang totally would have starved to death or gotten completely off track with often they're completely out of food and money
