I told my gf that I was having an episode earlier and she replied "is it the beach episode" and it shocked me so much that it grounded me immediately
that one friend who’s always cold: i’m cold
that one friend who can see ghosts: which is weird because you’re not even being haunted right now or anything
I know it’s not what it means but I like to imagine that “ping” here implies that everyone in Team Bleck has a cellphone and this mf clown TEXTED that Mr. L fucking died
This post has gained a lot of traction so I would like to formally remind everyone that it is 2007. If the Team Bleck groupchat is real- then these dumbasses are rickrolling each other daily and sending memes like “I can has cheezburger” and that fucking I’m A Gummy Bear video UNIRONICALLY
the thing I hate the most about the mcu besides all the atrocities is the fact that it means in the mainstream lexicon “marvel” = mcu and not marvel comics. Every time I see that post thats like “I love people who are surprised that there aren’t men kissing in marvel” I go but there Are men kissing in marvel. There Are. I can show you men kissing in marvel if you come down to my cellar
this is advice I've given friends directly before and I've probably also posted it but I really like giving it so here it is potentially again: do not create something for an imaginary bad faith reader.
there will always be someone who finds fault in your work. there will be people who read the messages on it wrong. there will be people who will take every compelling aspect about your work off of it so they can put in their own.
you cannot make art for these people.
you will never write a story that is free from criticism. you will never draw a piece that everyone finds appealing. you will never compose a song that everyone enjoys hearing. you cannot, fundamentally, set out to create something and only think of how you can avoid someone not liking it.
because, and this is key, there will be someone who sees every angle of your story and feels its intent in their heart and gushes to their friends about it. you will draw someone's favorite art and they will make it their phone wallpaper because they want to see it every day. someone will fall in love with your song and loop it on their way to work because it gets them through the day. and THOSE are the people your work is for. THOSE are the people you have to care about, because they love what you make for what it is - because it's itself.
if you set out to create something and file off every sharp edge, prune every thorn, you will be left with something fragile and weak, and it will be fragile and weak for the sake of someone who does not exist but that you were scared of anyway.
sharing art is complex and tangled and powerful, and anything you care enough to create deserves to flourish as itself. get sillay.
I make these comics as much to remind myself what I'm learning as I do to share them with you all. I finally took action to get help with my anxiety when I realized it was preventing me from living my life. I kept cancelling plans or avoiding things because I felt anxious---and avoiding them made the anxiety go away! (At least until the next time.) However, it was clear that I wasn't making choices aligned with my values, and I wanted to change that. Facing your fears a little at a time is often used in exposure therapy. When a therapist first recommended it to me, I balked because I didn't feel brave enough to do something scary. However, the very act of doing something scary has helped me feel braver. It is still very difficult sometimes! But I know it's important work.
