[itsdappleagain]

Hi, if you're still doing the CS character ask game, Dr. Bellum, Maelstrom or Roundabout? (I really like the Vile faculty haha, sorry if this random)

Hello new mutual!! Nice to meet ya! I sure am thank you for the ask :O Dr. Bellum

How I feel about this character: SHE'S SO....,,,,she has nuclear launch code and missile information pulled up at the same time a cat videos and pie and she' so silly and she'd orchestrated some of the most deadly capers in the series and she's married to a woman All the people I ship romantically with this character: cleo <333 My non-romantic OTP for this character: sorry her and maelstrom is so funny he's just like doctor fucking bellum please vote on shit im going to fucking kill you My unpopular opinion about this character: ahhh i don't know if i have any unpopular ones i like her sm she's so silly. like she's literally got carmen strapped onto a table gagged and struggling and she's just like "dw this wont hurt :)))))))))))))))) btw we aren't changing u back to ur deadname ok?" One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: she kind of got her out-and-about caper in the himalayas but i think it would have been fun to see her out and about MORE. she could do such THINGS unsupervised.......

Maelstrom:

How I feel about this character: so unnecessary i love him. he's like if a theater kid watched silence of the lambs too much All the people I ship romantically with this character: mmmm no one really actively. i wont turn down a good interfaculty ship with him or whatever if it pops up but ehhh My non-romantic OTP for this character: him with any of the faculty is SOO FUNNY he's just constantly like ohhh my fucking god im goig fjbf to fucking kill these people dr bellum please vote coach brunt its literally our vile logo its not a lion cub licking its balls coach brunt im going to leave you to drown coach brunt My unpopular opinion about this character: idk if this is unpopular but maybe just little known. duane said he wanted to have a scene where mael got captured and julia came in to interrogate him but he ended up psychologically manipulating her and more interrogating her than she did him....ogh can you imagine One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: that scene i just mentioned, really. also i think it was cool that he got to have his pale skinny jeansed ass in the wild for s4 so im good with him

Roundabout:

How I feel about this character: fail loser (affectionate). no but he was set up to be SUCH a cool character. he was shadow-san's replacement that had been built up to for the whole season, he'd been foreshadowed since S1 EPISODE 3, he was the reason VILE could remain hidden and impervious, he had a sword in his cane, he GOT CARMEN ARRESTED. ARRESTED ARRESTED. and then he himself just got tricked with like no episodes otherwise and was like aaughh nooo dont mindwipe me look neal the eel neal the eel and then rotted in a cell for another whole season. what a letdown All the people I ship romantically with this character: same thing as i put for mael....no one but i enjoy a good interfaculty ship when it comes around My non-romantic OTP for this character: idk he's just funny with a bunch of people. "i took fencing" and then shadowsan is like "yeah? i used to be in the japanese mafia, you bitch" My unpopular opinion about this character: again not sure if its unpopular but if you couldnt guess already i think he's such a letdown. i think they should have let him win instead of carmen just girlbossing her way through everything immediately. i think he should have been like. idk AN ACTUAL THREAT One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: i guess ive already stated most of everything above

[strawberryspeachy]

I work at 3 schools. 2 of them give me REAL work and are kind to me. The third. Not so much. And the fucking vice principal put me in the storage room where they serve lunch and go to be loud and have meeting and slurp coffee and watch an ancient tv that gives off white noise - theres no air conditioner and it had a small heater in the corner

My desk is adjacent to a door the hallway that ppl constantly use for no good reason so on top of it being cold they constantly have cold ass air blowing in on me

Come fall i complained and my company called them. They made up an excuse as to why they couldn’t move me into one of the MANY empty desks in the staff room

Said i could move come january after persistence

Was there last week. Wasn’t moved. Complained again. My company told me to ask ONE more time before they called and called them out on how stupid that was

So guess what this obviously misogynistic mother fucking vice principal did (he let the males before me sit in the STAFF room)

He cancelled my fucking work. He literally tally went

What? This foreigner bitch dare cross me? Im gonna stop her from getting paid (mind you the school doesn’t pay me and explaining why its also fucking ridiculous that this can stop me from getting a paycheck feeds into my xenophobic and misogynistic practices)

Wtf

So i message the group chat of ppl that work in my city asking if any of them have had this happen to them to see if i could call my company out on just deciding not to pay me when they rlly should be

And this fucking girl

This. This is why i dont talk to “optimistic” people - shove it up your ass

I dont go into details when i ask questions. No one care and its annoying were not friends just work the same job in the same city

She says oh i can see why your upset if youre missing out on over a month of work

(They know i work at three schools not just one)

I said i have two other schools during that time- i already wasn’t scheduled to see this school again till the end of march

And she goes

Ohhh then you’re good! Just hope your other school dont follow suit! 🥰🥰

Ummmmmmm i already make poverty wages - dont have a rich husband supporting me!! And just lost more than A THIRD of my rent!!

And be hopeful?! That a job i am currently in contract with on the premise that i have work and get paid for that work…. Does the thing THEY PROMISED THEYD DO ?!?!?

Cant stand ppl with these delusions. You’re not optimistic you’re insane. Ppl rlly be acting like its asking to much for your fucking job to do what it promises when you sign on AND treat you like a human.

And im positive the ppl who act like it is have never actually struggled.

Like im getting rlly sick or listening to a childhood friend complain about rlly anything. She has rich parents who bought her anything shed ever possibly wanted. Every single dude shes ever liked had like her back and gotten with her. She went to her top choice college. Graduated and got a job. Decided she didnt like that job or major - dad paid for her to go back to school. Then her boyfriends mom got her the job she wanted. Then she ridiculously quickly moved up to the spot within the job that she wanted through pure coincidence that it just happened to open up immediately after she got there. — cant go on without saying shes a teacher and all she does is complain that her students act like the fucking age they are and that she has to prepare for school and grade shit - oh. You mean your JOB the thing you signed up to do??! Like??? Confused. What were you expecting when you decided to become a teacher??? And now shes complaining that they wont just cancel school and do cyber school so shes gonna quit.

Ok cool you do that and im sure itll work out for you because literally everything works out for you

‘Wow youve got some nerve complaining when you dont want to do your job as an ALT right’

1) they only put assistant in the title to make the japanese teachers feel better and ensure that we can never steal their jobs

2) a person who ranks below a senior person.

"the managing director and his assistant"

“a person who helps in particular work.

"a care assistant"

Nowhere in the fucking meaning does it say punching bag, inanimate object, lacky/servant, mascot, seat warmer, observer

Assistant language teacherrrrr not assistant secretary, assistant lunch aid, assistant school clerk, assistant janitor

Ugh whatever off on a tangent bc this friend also has read online about the job and is rlly full of herself and so when she complains about bs to me sometimes i just reciprocate and am met with “well theyre the teacher” AND YOU cant even be bothered to look at my fb once in a while and see that my mom died yesterday and your bitching to me about a fucking student not checking your fucking blackboard for assignments in the summerrr cause theyre fucking 16 years old and thats what they fucking do and you are a high school teacher who barely speaks japanese teaching japanese class like its university STFU

I want my measly $250 T_T i dont even make 20k a year. I dont do anything and everytime i try to justify - its good i dont have a live and didnt vacation anywhere like id planned to do while in japan - i saved money! NO. ITS GONE

and im stressed the fuck out bc my bills are so high and i cant get hired for a solo teaching job because they only wanna hire white men and treat me like im not a native speaker because im a poc woman. Japanese boys wont actually date me for the same reason. Corona is never going to end so i cant do anything i came here to do. And i waited too long to go home and now my mom is gone. And all of my friends are in relationships and no time for me and i didnt ever have time to look for a decent job because home because i cant even relax while im here. My hair is falling out to even more than 300 strands on a given day

And i dont even wanna be alive and haven’t wanted to my entire life and im still stuck here being miserable

And my periods coming so i slept all weekend instead of going out

When does it all just stoppp

January 15th-January 21st, 2020 Reader Favorites Archive

The archive for the Reader Favorites chat that occurred from January 15th, 2020 to January 21st, 2020.  The chat focused on the following question:

What sort of merchandise are you most likely to buy for webcomics you read and why?

carcarchu

does a physical copy of the book count as merch? nothing compares to the feel of a real book in your hands and watching my collection grow is so satisfying. i like having a tangible way to show my support. after that is small prints. i rarely see acrylic charms of webcomic characters but those are nice too

LadyLazuli (Phantomarine)

I know I'm particularly weak for enamel pins - which happen to be the first major merch I made for my first time tabling at a con. They're definitely the most common thing for me to consider purchasing from others. I also like small prints and stickers! And if a particularly cute character is somehow made into a plush... I'd be all over that, too.

Cronaj

For me, I love physical comics. So if a webcomic creator made a physical print version of their comic, that would be the best way to entice me to buy something. Comics almost always look better on paper in my opinion, and I'm a weirdo when it comes to book smell I sniff new books like an absolute degenerate. The other thing I would buy is art prints or art books. I have a huuuuge collection of art prints from creators I admire. So keep 'em comin'! I mean, I'll buy any merch that calls to me, but usually if I can't put it on a shelf, hang it on the wall, or wear it, I probably have no use for it.

Capitania do Azar

I'm a big fan of physical copies and charms of all kinds! I also appreciate stickers and small prints (big prints are nice, but take up a lot of space). Zines with side stories or related/concept art are also a good choice

keii4ii

Storage is a big issue for me, so I tend to not buy physical books unless like... it's a comic I would love to read but can't do so online easily (e.g. if the website doesn't function properly on my computer) I really like prints that have qualities/features that can't be replicated digitally -- e.g. foil, holo coating, VERY special paper texture, etc. (I've even seen one artist offer lenticular prints which I thought was awesome -- just wasn't into the characters that were on the art) Small to medium sized prints are fairly easy to store, so that's also a big plus for me! Also, clear plastic folders? I've never bought them admittedly, but those can look SO nice with the right type of art (some artworks look so special when printed on that clear material). I wish more people offered them so I could actually buy these, but I understand they can be costly to print.

Tired Programmer

I would buy physical copies as well. About the storage issue... Well, when I understand, that there are too many of them for my humble bookcase, I just sell or give old ones away. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ And also stickers. Stickers rock. (edited)

SAWHAND

I agree! If I really like the comic I like to have a physical copy! It feels special since I think a lot of times they're limited printing. I also really like stickers since they can just get put on something I already have and thus not take up extra space. I generally don't get prints because wall space is at a premium and I feel silly not having them hung up, but that's just a personal preference. Other than that it would have to be something really cool or something with function, like a notebook or...I don't know, an apron, or maaaybe a t-shirt.

mariah (rainy day dreams)

Printed comics are definitely my go to fav especially if it's a webcomic I've been really wanting to read but haven't had the time to do it online. Sitting down with a book is a lot easier for me that sitting with my phone or pulling my laptop out. I do also like stickers a lot. I've really gotten into covering the inside covers of my sketchbooks with them the last few years X)

kayotics

I usually go for printed books, pins, or plushies. If there’s a Kickstarter happening I’ll usually splurge for a pin tier if it exists. I don’t use stickers that much but I know a lot of people love them? But it’s not my thing.(edited)

Cap’n Lee (Flowerlark Studios)

Usually printed books and phone charms. I will always buy webcomics that go to print and I collect charms. Other things like stickers and pins are nice, but often too pricey. I will go for them when they're bundled into KS tiers with printed books, though.

varethane

Printed books for me! Sometimes stickers, and sometimes enamel pina

Pins

I dont tend to get prints because I wont really do anything with them

(But my prints tend to sell decently, so there is a market for them out there...)

keii4ii

I just like collecting prints! I don't even put them on my wall, I just stick them in a binder kind of like my own custom-curated artbook

I really like seeing the combination of certain artworks and certain paper textures!

FeatherNotes(Krispy)

omg Kei...why have I not thought of that ?? I will now do that for all the print i've collected gosh!! and I agree with Vare, books are top tier merch I go for (zines included) Prints are a second for me, with charms and pins being the thing i least go for bc of space (though I am seeing pin boards come into fashion and I'm def into doing that as well!)

mariah (rainy day dreams)

I do really love pins too, I'm just really bad at remembering to wear them. I probably should get myself one of those clear back packs con goers wear.

FeatherNotes(Krispy)

oh yes ita bags!

varethane

The problem with me wearing pins is that I normally bike everywhere, while wearing a backpack

So if I put them on a jacket, the straps of the bag will rub on most of the good pin locations

And if they fall off while I'm riding my bike they are lost forever

Cap’n Lee (Flowerlark Studios)

I tried putting pins on my backpack for a while.... only to come home and realise they fell off at some point during the day.

varethane

Yeah :(

mariah (rainy day dreams)

Ita bag! Yes! Lol I'm always super scared that my pins will just break and I'll loose them X') so when I do remember to wear one I'm constantly checking to make sure it's still on me

varethane

I have one jacket that I've been putting most of my pins on, which I wear to conventions

And it did pretty well except my rice boy pin fell off somewhere in the Seattle airport and is now lost forever :(

Betrayal......

FeatherNotes(Krispy)

i have def...super glued pins to my backpack before and the rubber backings are so bad for pins too bc they never hold

mariah (rainy day dreams)

Oh, patches are another thing, like pins, that I love but usually have to stop myself from getting. I need to find a good patch jacket, because I really love a patch. I've been wanting to make one for my own comic merch for a while too.

FeatherNotes(Krispy)

ohhh yes same-- i stll have patches that i havent done anything yet with bc i haven't found The Right Jacket

mariah (rainy day dreams)

Same TuT

Eightfish

I've got the Property of Hate tarot postcards up on my wall right now. Also partial to a good enamel pin. What I'd love to see in merch is a well designed, stylish shirt, but haven't really found that so far. I find webcomic shirts tend to be too detailed and illustration-y to look good as shirts, and would prefer something more graphic.

Q @CecilieQMT making WAYFINDERS

I'd love to design shirts! Just haven't figured out how to get them printed properly... ^^'

RebelVampire

For me, it's digital copies. So PDFs and eBooks. Unlike many people here, I can't stand print copies for a myriad of reasons. XD But digital copies I can get behind cause it supports the artist, has some nice bonus stuff sometimes, and generally collects everything nicely so some website hiccups aren't a problem. While this has never come up because it's rare, I would also buy plushies. Cause one can never have enough plushies. But alas, I don't think the market is there for that XD

kayotics

Plushies are just really hard to produce and store, same with T-shirts

Well, T-shirts aren’t that hard to produce, but they’re hard to store and keep a good amount of sizes

Mei

I tend to buy books/physical copies of webcomics I like! I really enjoy the physical reading experience! I also really like buying enamel or non-enamel pins. I enjoy collecting them, but going off what people have already said, I also have an innate fear of losing them :(

AntiBunny

If it has a cute character, and the price is in my budget, plushies are awesome. Unfortunately that's a difficult one to do, because small batches of plush that are build by hand are going to be expensive, and a comic has to be very popular to warrant more economical large runs. And I'll also say physical books.

Mei

plushies ARE awesome

I got the coyote plushie from Tom, the guy who does Gunnerkrigg Court

I just really love it

and also I couldn't decide which of the MANY volumes of comics to buy

(i didn't and still don't have space to stock up on a lot of books so I must be prudent sometimes)

((but my bed always has space for plushies))
