So because he went to a private boarding school, itās probable that Edwinās family was somewhat well off, but imagine if he was a minor lord or smth, he just doesnāt really bring it up.
I just keep thinking about Edwin filling out the asylum paperwork and putting his full legal name, and Charles is astonished to learn, after over 30 years, his best friendās name is longer and more absurd than Crystalās
#Lord Edwin Arthur Cavendish-Payne of Mavenshire or something equally as ridiculous#He calls himself Edwin Payne to distance himself from the family legacy#dead boy detectives#dbda#edwin payne#charles rowland

Btw just want to be clear that Time and Time Again is set to, and will if I don't pause, conclude in May 2025!
Webtoon didn't want to renew or give me any extra episodes so I'm trying to work with what I have. I'm sorry it's ending sooner than I'd like, it's been difficult to come to terms with and challenging to condense my plans.
You deserve a solid conclusion, and I've spent months writing to try and reach that. If there's anything you'd really like to see before it ends, do let me know in case I can (and want to) fit it in.
I'd rather not work with them again, and I hope I won't have to! But coming off of years being overworked and underpaid does not make that easy, to say the least...
I'm doing my best, and I hope you like what I have coming up.
#years of being overworked. underpaid. and literally manipulated and gaslit lmfao#it does not feel good to beg to be treated equally. and then told to be satisfied with less than that#it has been repeatedly demoralizing and insulting#and im not doing it again#i would rather nanny again (most exhausting job ive ever had) than work with them again#but. i would rather not!#I'd rather continue to make comics#but to do it full time i would need like 500 patrons on the $5 tier minimum...#which is SO MANY PEOPLE and incomprehensible to me#ive already proven to myself i can live on 25k a year but obviously its tight (i live in socal)#this. is not what this post is about#it's so hard for me not to complain about them#i feel bad for my current patrons i only share stuff on discord as of right now#well i do the merch packages but like#it's mostly just my discord#just dont have the time or energy to manage my patreon#cause idk if yall know but patreons site is TERRIBLE from the creator side???#it takes like 5 minutes to upload a single post it's ridiculous#so i cant manage it rn. I've thought about hiring someone to help me with it but i cant afford any help#anyways ultimately this is informing people its gonna end#and is turning into a vent around all of the stress surrounding that#like i literally had to take a couple months to just be sad its gonna end and come to terms with that#its hard! it's hard feeling so tossed aside and having your stories controlled even in part by someone else#anyways yeah#i havent finished writing the last arc yet#so theres space for me to fit stuff if theres something people really want#so id like to get in what i could if i can!#text post#sorry i always turn any thoughts about comics into vents about webtoon#theyre so ass man..... it's fine. im gone in may...

Anyone who knows me knows that I am a big big fan of a monstrous character arc. I want slow, creeping, agonizing transformations that force a character to grapple with the very concepts of humanity and free will. I want split-second decisions that can't be taken back, the helplessness of living through a hell that they chose. 10/10 that is my shit right there.
I recently watched a playthrough of The Wolf Among Us for the first time on a whim. And for all the time I've spent considering the narrative relationship between humanity and monstrousness, I cannot BELIEVE I have never ONCE considered the absolute GOLDEN comedic potential of a character like Bigby Wolf. Literally the reverse of the monster thing.
Like, holy shit. Imagine being a big-ass wolf just living your life like a wolf does and then a couple centuries later you have to wear pants and pay taxes. And every once in a while you wonder why the fuck you haven't given up on human society and gone back to being a wolf full time, because you're really good at being a wolf, and then the next time you try to eat someone they get scared and you're like "aw, rats- I forgot that eating people makes me feel bad." And then you go home to your apartment that you have and eat scrambled eggs or something. Also you have a workplace crush and a pig roommate so good luck with that
#the wolf among us#bigby wolf#something something picture this guy hanging out in the Ever After High universe because its very funny#equally funny is the Once Upon a Time universe#he was made to be put into Situationsā¢#and i think that all of those situations should be very ridiculous

S2 really has me thinking about the gender dynamics in the main timeline. Jinx was raised by Silco, and in his home was the strongest influences on him and Zaun were the women in his life, Jinx and Sevika, who in turn are the most important women in Zaun. In Silco's absence, Jinx, Sevika, and Isha form a new unit (sort of) that grapples with the deteriorating situation in Zaun.
Then we see Powder in the better timeline, and her home is visually dominated by men. Vi's dead and Sevika's nowhere to be seen, but every possible male influence in her life is alive and she's mostly thriving.
This was 100% unintentional by the show and 1000% hilarious to me.
#arcane#jinx arcane#powder arcane#arcane meta#srsly tho where's sevika she better not have died or something equally ridiculous#also i know vi wasnāt in jinx's life for the timeskip but she thought vi left#jinx didn't think vi died so there was always that part of her that clung to vi's image and shaped herself around it#gender ratios seem to flip when ekko gets more involved for some reason like in convergence#i can only laugh

Something that annoys me is when women are portrayed like your typical action hero but then they're "Mary Sues" but I never see the same scrutiny for male action heroes (and there's a fucking ocean of those).
Like maybe it's not your kind of character, but IT IS unusual and different to have a vengeful strong silent type woman as the MC instead of a man. And like no offense, but no one is expecting depth from action hero MCs. They often are meant to be bad-ass and drive the plot with their quest. I wouldn't know what to tell you about the character of most action hero leading men.
#also why are people so against women having their revenge?#or hurting people they care about because they think it'll protect them?#this is the nth time i see people losing their shit over something similar lol#Despite the ridiculously high amount of fridged women in pop culture#this is kinda belated because it was on my drafts for a while... i just disagreed a lot with an opinion...#i say fridge the men in her life FOR EQUALITY! So she may go on a quest for revenge.#EQUAL OPPORTUNITY FRIDGING AND REVENGE!

Idk if itās because of how Iāve curated my feed but I rarely see people shitting on Christine. Any E/C space Iām in is mostly about centering Christine and her satisfaction.
That said, I feel the constant need to warn people that āIf you like Erik and Christine as a couple, remember not to have that kind of relationship IRLā is kind of annoying. I get the intention, but people, including young people, arenāt stupid and donāt need constant reminders to not be inspired by their toxic faves.
Like yes girl, I know the Phantom is not a real man. I wish a wealthy, nerdy, musically talented, intelligent old man that lived underground and wanted to help me with my music career was real. But heās not, so Iām gonna indulge in fiction.
Bless the rest of yāall that get involve in the discourse though. Honestly, could not be me.
#christine daae#phantom of the opera#erik/christine#like do you know how ridiculous it was to be 18 and hearing ppl be like āoh youāll know why Entrapdaks bad when youāre olderā#babes its been almost 6 years and theyāre still one of the strongest relationships out of the show#i wonder if its more tied to r/c and e/c discourse which š¤·āāļø#jokes on them I like when all three of them get together#But yeah I rarely come across thosse āChristine was wrong for not picking Erikā posts unless it was like teenagers on TikTok#Which I donāt take seriously at all#as a former teen on the internet#because most of the time you grow out of it#anyway anytime I got reprimanded for shipping something as a kid it just made me want to indulge in it more#and it made me feel like I was being treated like a toddler#by older people whoād be so up in arms about this one ship while defending another that was equally if not more problematic#my hot take is that in most cases ships arenāt really problematic#its more based on your personal tastes and experiences shaping your view of relationships in media

Kpop stans talking about their fave: wow they sound so good literally they have the voice of an angel i'm gonna cry
Their fave: delivers the most mediocre vocal performance I've ever heard in my life
#it's been a while since I've posted something to get me cancelled#but like you can stan an idol while also acknowledging their shortcomings#it's especially annoying when they demand equal lines for all the members#saying it's unfair#no what's unfair is the good vocalist/rapper getting the same amount of line as someone that can't carry a tune#this whole āall rounderā trend in kpop is contributing to this ridiculousness#no your faves aren't all rounders#that's just what companies are now calling members because none of them stand out enough in any category to be called main anythibg#not gonna mention names#some of them my own faves#but really guys#have you not heard good singers before?#i understand liking someone's tone or voice color#but saying they're objectively great is ridiculous#anyway rant over lmao#delete later#mort talks

"The Bible is so sexist blah blah blah" okay. When it talks about how you can avoid doing stupid things in Proverbs it uses a man in its examples and personifies wisdom as a woman though which I think is pretty funny
#christianity#nevermind all the verses that are literally lauding women and commanding men to honor and respect them and treat them as equals...#nevermind the fact that the first three people to see Jesus after the resurrection were all women...#nevermind the fact that His first convert was a woman...#nevermind the fact that when a woman who'd been caught in adultery was being quite literally attacked and ridiculed by religious leaders#Jesus came and told her she wasn't evil or a failure or worthy of death and He rebuked the men who were attacking her...#He shoved their own issues back in their faces and told them that they had no right to think themselves any better than her#especially since she actually felt and understood the weight of what she'd done and wanted to change and they didn't...#but sure yes go on tell me more about how i'm āoppressedā by this and how God hates women#do you not think He might like women considering... yknow... He made them and included eve in the ābeautiful and goodā in genesis??#why would He make something He doesn't like...#please note i am not saying this to make fun of men in the slightest bit. that's not the point. i'm making a joke#but i do think the fact that it personifies wisdom as a woman is interesting#like i'm not sayin' y'all need to read it cause it's uh. it's somethin' but song of solomon??#like yeaaahhh i think judging by that one women are intended to be seen as pretty cool and good and whatnot#like i know i talk about āi love my wifeļæ½ļæ½ļæ½-ism in media but uh. song of solomon takes it to quite another level#anyway!#regarding the āfirst convertā thing a guy named cornelius is generally accepted as being the first convert#because he was the first to be converted by the time Christianity was actually established as a religion#but if you imagine that the samaritan woman at the well was actually the first non-jewish person to believe in what Jesus said#then she would actually be the first real convert.

I can't make gifs unfortunately but a funny parallel would be Rimmer bragging in Justice that he never so much as got a parking ticket and then over 20 years later in Dear Dave he opens a letter containing a parking fine.
#very first thing i thought of when he stated what the letter was#also obsessed with the implication that Rimmer possibly owns a car#what car do we think he drives folks#personally my money is on a tiny little ford fiesta#which he then lies to people and tells them he drives a beemer or something equally ridiculous and implausible#red dwarf#arnold rimmer

Iām always so fascinated by peopleās bad roommate stories. Iām not sure Iāll ever live with someone I havenāt vetted extensively beforehand ever again
#every living situation where iāve been assigned roommates randomly; i always seem to get one person who is an absolute angel#and 1-2 people who are honestly fucked up#i lived in halls 1 year of undergrad and everyone was kind of equally insane. honestly no one stood out as particularly bad#because everyone was just constantly screaming. i dealt with it by going home most weekends and getting noise cancelling headphones#3rd year of undergrad i lived in a suite which.. honestly was basically an apartment. had a living room/kitchenette; a toilet; a shower room#and 4 bedrooms#one of my roommates iām still friends with to this day but honestly they were and are kind of a ridiculous person#like they were actively dealing drugs most of the year and their boyfriend was around most of the time and they would bone LOUDLY#and thatās the good roommate. so you can imagine the other two#one of the others.. honestly wasnāt a bad roommate; she was helpful and clean and civil#she was loud as hell though. she used to have attacks of insomnia and decide to rearrange her furniture at 3 in the morning#and we shared a wall. she also had an illegal pet rabbit.#our personalities just didnāt mesh well; like it became clear pretty fast that we were going to spend as little time together as possible#third roommate was loud; rude; annoying and gross. sheād be calling people at 7am just to yell down the phone to them about her problems#i was like who is picking up the phone to this bitch. she also picked up on my homosexual vibes in that way that homophobic straight girls#always seem to have; and was convinced i had a crush on her. and she bought a betta fish (allowed according to dorm rules) and then it died#because she didnāt want to take care of it properly. and she refused to do anything for herself#like she was always breaking shit and leaving it because she didnāt want to email or call maintenance. so then iād have to do it#because it was always something we specifically shared. like a set of shelves she put a fucking 5lb shampoo bottle on. twice.#in grad school it was almost the same thing. one angel roommate who was kind of messy but otherwise fantastic#she rolled the best joints i have ever seen. and i still miss her cat cali#it was the men that were the problem. one was an international student who left after a month and bothered nobody#like to the point i didnāt notice when he moved out because he was so innocuous#the other two thoughā¦.. so one of them started hooking up with my favourite roommate and immediately became SUPER annoying#the other one stole shit; left lights on all the time; left fridge and cupboard and freezer doors open; tried to guilt trip me#into giving him my weed; played mariah carey at 2am; never bought a single cleaning product or household item for the collective#unless you told him toā¦ā¦ he was even using my toothpaste at one point. like. sir.#oh and he was always dirtying other peopleās dishes and cookware and leaving them in the sink for days. and leaving big chunks of food#in the sink. it was fucking gross#personal

Little Morgan doodles
I had to watch some bullshit training videos at work so have some simple Morgans I drew to get me through it.
#my doodles#oc morgan#I'll probably doodle more later today#i have another training video i have to watch#equally bullshit#but ik this one is going to set off my anxiety worse than the first one#i have something cool i want to do for Morgan#not sure what medium i want to do it in tho#its basically an episode like thing were they and Donnie are struggling to get a bug out of their tomato garden#and the more it goes on the more insainly ridiculous the struggle gets#it would have so much cannon episode vibes#just not sure if i want to comic it or write it out#was going to post this yesterday#but i forgot

oh no, murderbot has ptsd
#murderbot is annoyed#it deserves all the nice things#but it probably wouldn't like hugs or tea#so i'm a bit out of ideas#a mini art plushy? something equally ridiculous?#costumes for its drones? little hats or something?

I think we could probably define Optimi unhingedness on a scale of who eats dirt for fun, who eats dirt but not where anyone can tell him off because theyāre worried about him eating dirt, and who doesnāt eat dirt because heās worried other people will eat dirt when they really shouldnāt
#dirt here is a sort of fill in for whatever unhinged things optimi like to get up to#like squaring up with megatron on the slopes of a volcano or riding on the back of sky lynx or something equally ridiculous#rin.talks

it is EMBARRASSING how much i lose my mind when people notice things about me
#'lose my mind' is maybe an exaggeration bc i am very good @ keeping contained with it lmfao#but i should not still be thinking about literally months ago when i was having a conversation with someone about how he was#able to make eye contact more than usual and i said something like you've probably noticed that i also don't like making eye contact#and he said that he had noticed and that i should know that most things that were observable he's probably observed about me#and i said that i knew because i observe him observing#THAT'S RIDICULOUS THAT'S A RIDICULOUS EXCHANGE IT'S STUPID AND IT WAS SILLY AND BIZARRE#and it wasn't personal because we both observe everyone equally i think like it's not a him observing me specifically thing#and if it was it'd be weird and creepy but like . there's still something about that isn't there there's something#about the fact that someone somewhere notices that you don't make eye contact but also notices you in general#it's about existing in the world as a person who is seen by other people and knowing you exist to someone at least#while you're in front of them both you and they are real and it's significant because you're both bringing it up#that night as a whole should not take up so much of my brainspace#yes it was a lovely night yes i'm glad it happened but idk that it should be such a big thing for me............#to be fair it's a much smaller thing to me than it was after it happened so it will just fade away as time passes and i have#more interactions with other people and also this guy but idk it is something that was/is significant to some extent#idk the thing is it was very personal but it also wasn't That personal i think like we truly just happened to be the last#ones left and people who enjoy conversation like that was it#anyway it's bizarre knowing that there's someone who you see more days of the week than you don't that does notice things

#anon oh believe me I KNOW#everyone is annoyingš#there is no such thing as purity and perfection#we all just gotta draw our own lines (or not) and do what feels right. .. was just talking about this with someone in message like#we all have different things that are over the line for us so yeah. I shouldn't say what other people should do#just say why I choose to do or not do what I choose#I personally have seen so much gross stuff said about people by rads over the years that that's a line for me#other people have other things that are too far for them#and with so many new people around everything is a jumbled mess anyway I see people reblogged on my dash#that a few years ago no one would have touched with a ten foot pole cause folks don't know about the shit they used to say#and I'm sure I reblog from new people who are equally horrendous but I just don't know#plus we haven't had a real big inter-larrie blow up in ages where you find out who out of all the people you thought were fine#actually have the worst fucking opinion you've ever heard about something OTHER than L+H#it's all ridiculousš
