sauce trying to befriend the popular twitch streamers and gamers is giving sheltered christian kid realizes their only hopes for friendship in school are the weird white boy reddit users who think slurs are comedy, and is just excited to have 'cool' friends so they'll do or say or get into anything their friends do to sound equally as smart just to be capable of saying (lying) that they have 'friends' to their mom when she asks about their day so their family doesn't think they poured all that money into a socially inept loser. instead, they poured all that money into a socially desperate parakeet

[<==PREV PAGES] [NEXT PAGE==>(not out yet.wait a year.or maybe more.imagine.]

saw alot of comments on prev pages; saying 'i HATE that mean teacher! im gonna FIGHT HIM!!' & i LOVE the energy!! it WOULD be nice. to have that catharsis. but the story of young tidestrider is Not one of catharsis. it is a story of being so small and so special and sucking so bad.

[equalperson]

people mostly talk about splitting as literally all-or-nothing--"I love you" or "I hate you"--but I personally experience an in-between point sometimes.

I don't know what I'd call it other than "thin-ice devaluation" or something along those lines.

like, yes I devalued you recently and I realize now that I was being irrational, BUT if you say something even slightly suspicious, hurtful, or incorrect, I'm going to assume that you're evil and/or useless again much faster than I would have before.

pro tip if you want a positive fandom experience: do not follow confession blogs. you’re just asking for a bad time if you do that just don’t

Everything reminds me of her (Ozzy Wiesblatt)....

1. Feral cat who lives in our garage pissed as hell I'm ignoring him looking cute and demure and won't give him forbidden Delectable cat treats. Hater like I didn't spend several years buying him gross dried fish treats. 2. I took two photos at the wedding 🥲 This was one of them, after the wedding, after everyone had left, and there were some flowers left over from the arch floral thingy. The other was my place card at the wedding, which has since disappeared. I also don't know where the flowers are, I threw them somewhere in my car and refuse to unpack my car without A&D (my key to their house doesn't work because their door is broken.) 3. Long pointless walk to the mall today, because this city is hostile to pedestrians, but still there are the delights. (Saw a snail, and Ozzy graffiti.)

i shouldve been an art history major.........

[aphidclan-clangen]

DUDEEEE, I WANNA BE FRIENDS WITH YOU SOOO BAD.......... BUT I FEEL LIKE ITS WEIRD TO ASK....

I’m not very comfortable with parasocial relationships/parasocial stuff sadly, we’re very much strangers and you don’t know me, and I certainly know very little to nothing about any of you. I’m glad you like my art! I’m always happy to see my art inspire other people and bring joy into other people’s lives, that’s amazing, but that…doesn’t mean we should be friends just because you like the select drawings and sketches that I’ve put on the internet. ESPECIALLY if you’re a minor, that’s a whole risky/dangerous ball park in itself !! I’m very uncomfortable with minors even DMing me, the relationship between fan and creator should be entirely professional at most.

There are a lot of influencers and brands out there that try to make their fans think they’re your friend, when really they’re not, and I really don’t want to be anything like that to you guys. It’s a kind of idolization and manipulation and a power dynamic that squicks me out in its entirety. There’s a lot of potential risk and danger in fan/creator relationships, and I do not want you guys to put me on a pedestal like that. Dont even consider me a ��content creator,” or an idol. I love being an inspiration to people because I like the idea of bringing joy into others lives through my work, but that doesn’t mean I want you to put me on a pedestal and entrust me with your relationships and personal life. I’m not your friend, I’m not the best, I’m not even an expert at what I do, far from it. I’m just some random person who draws cats in their spare time, and you guys happen to like it, that’s all. I’m a real live person, with a name, a family, interests, flaws, mistakes, screw-ups, a personality you only see 10% of, friends, and most importantly I don’t know you. You don’t know me. No parasocial stuff please. Please stay safe out there and be careful of who and what you trust on the internet

This is the shit democrats need to be out in the streets banging the drum over right now. You voted for him and he's already fucking you over. You rural farming voters who thought you'd be safe from his anti-woke agenda. It's already coming for your livelihoods. Can you afford 4 more years of this shit?

Oh yeah yesterday I went to my C programming professor's office hours to ask about what's being covered in class tomorrow. Since I can't go bc of my PT appointment overlapping with it & I'm apparently the kind of student that cares about attending every single class now.

While I was there, I ended up chatting with him about a few things, including my current standing in the class. He asked what I got on the midterm exam, & I answered it was an 87, and he told me I was one of the top 5 or 6 scores in the Whole Class (this being a like. Maybe 70 or so person class). Top score was a 92 or 93 (idr lol) & the class average was a 72. Apparently there were a few of us in the upper 80s/lower 90s, but most people got 70s or lower. And once he does the curve on the exam, he said I'd probably end up with a 97 or so on the exam. So yay!!!

And then he told me how he's noticed how I come to class every day and am really active with taking notes and answering questions. Bc I also sit up front all the time lmao. Hadn't even realized how much of a damned teacher's pet I've been being, but I've been Trying to be a good student this year. But he said I was the type of student that if I got an 88% or smth in the class, he'd likely bump me up to a 90% so I'd get an A lol. But he also said so long as I keep up with how I have been, I could possibly get a 100% in the class by the end (bc I've been there for all the extra credit questions in class and whatever).

And just. I went there bc I wanted to make sure I didn't miss anything important in class on Wednesday, and I ended up having my ego stroked for Real. Felt good to have my efforts be recognized.

[tm21-nuzcomic]

how do i make first posts again.

Howdy! Working on a nuzlocke comic and realized I might as well share progress as I go along. This is TM21, a dystopian gijinkalocke, and my baby for the past near-year. Premise is this:

Unova some decades ago gets walled off and completely isolated from the world in every single respect (trade, travel, internet, so on). At the same time, horrific mutant Monsters begin to start appearing in the region and terrorizing everybody. A gig economy emerges centered around Hunters: people trained in the art of exterminating monsters and serving the greater populace. Anyway, the main characters want to become Hunter celebrities.

It's been a lot of fun writing and developing this thing, and I can't wait to share this project with the world!! Please join me as a gaggle of self-obsessed assholes hops on that grind. Hopefully, I'll be ready to start uploading Chapter 1 by November. I'll try to use this blog semi-regularly.

Older deep-cut, but I was the teen behind Until Then (formerly Pantsing). To clarify—I'm in my 20s now. It is a project I ultimately want to return to, but the scope of it was too big—as typical for baby's first comic—and I did not stop having a rough year. For several years. TM21 was conceptualized to be a build-up back to that project, but while it's definitely a LOT smaller, it's still something I've grown equally enamored with.

My hope is to curate better work habits through uploading TM21. For starters, I want to finish it faster. I don't have an estimate on how long this comic will take—and it'll likely be wrong—but the game plan is to batch update every other week, similar to some manga...?

I also am trying to pre-emptively format this comic for print. This is for self-indulgence purposes: I want to print out my comic and hold it physically, I think that's badass. A lot of technical aspects will be planned around print. This, and the smaller page sizes (as compared to webcomics) are also part of why this will be a batch update comic: I do not want to pace the comic too slowly. Good lird.
