I love this blog because in reality I’m very casual about this book series but online I get to reblog funny fandom posts and say things like BARKBARKBARK in the tags

#i haven’t reread it in so long either #still haven’t read madison.. #i lost it i think 🗿 #but this is the only thing i allow myself to be a stan about and i enjoy this #everyone should have one thing they allow themselves to be funny abt just saying #lily does things

1. What Were You Gonna Say Before Deflecting Eric Richard Bittle

2. bitty assuming he won't see jack all summer and potentially for longer. jack assuming bitty knew he'd drive up before the season started. there's something here about bitty's abandonment issues and how he assumes jack won't wanna make time to see him but also how jack is so giving with his love (and also so bad at communicating his feelings) that upon hearing this he's just like what? of course i'll come see you. of course of course of course i will.

eric "who could love me" bittle versus jack "i love him on purpose" zimmermann and jack "i am unworthy" zimmermann versus eric "i love him on purpose" bittle

i noticed too while rereading that while bitty's bed is often in frame, his bed is usually made & pretty neat. but after he has the moment with jack in the kitchen and has his realization.... his pillows were mussed up, almost like he was screaming into one of them. or punching them? either way he's so relatable i love him

#good storytelling bb I love u sm

In your view/experience. is the rate of "incompleteness" among webcomics more or less the nature of online personal projects as a whole? Or is there something specific to webcomics like laboriousness, audience expectations, relative medium infancy or whatnot?

well for one thing webcomics has changed significantly in the last ten years. it used to have a much lower barrier for entry, just get a smackjeeves account or set up a website with a wordpress plugin. starting a webcomic when i started my webcomic vs starting a webcomic now are totally different experiences.

so i can only speak to people who started their webcomics roughly ten years ago. and roughly ten years ago a lot of us were a whole lot younger with a lot more time and energy to spend on a comic for free. this part is probably still somewhat true for new artists.

but then you get older. your ideas change. your skill develops and the old stuff isn't as good. or you don't have as much time, you got a day job. unless you're one of like five people on earth your webcomic is not paying your rent. you need to make money. your shoulder hurts. you're 30 now. you're struggling to make updates on time between whatever else makes you happy and what else you need to do to live. you wrote this story when you were 21, you don't relate to it anymore, you have different ideas, you've grown up, your audience has noticeably dropped off from the peak, social media managing is hard, you have to go to work, you're so tired, all the time.

it's a lot of things.

Random person: Hey, I'm just getting into webcomics, and I was wondering if you had any accessible recommendations for someone who's new to the medium?

This website:

Comic which can only be read by torrenting an archive of its former website, whose domain has expired

Comic that's like ten thousand pages long, but stick with it, it starts to get good around the 3000-page mark

Comic which, in spite of maintaining a clockwork update schedule for 22 years, has yet to resolve a single significant plot point

Comic whose premise is incomprehensible if you're not familiar with one specific meme which trended for six weeks in 2014

Comic which contains only 50% of its own plot because it's written under the assumption that everyone reading it is on the Discord

Comic whose pedestrian plotting and lacklustre dialogue is elevated entirely by the fact that the protagonist has a huge cock

#i suggest wilde life #it’s not finished but it’s simple to read and very riveting imo #omgcp falls into the very last category in my eyes as well. when i recced it post-finale it didn’t hit as hard for ppl bc no extras :/
