#gotta keep my distance

[scarefox]

currently my holy trinity

#i feel you linger in the air #my personal weatherman #kiseki: dear to me #there is also dangerous romance which is good too but these 3 have me in an iron grip #and yes Only Friends too but something in it or the discourse bubble surrounding it is triggering me so i gotta keep on distance a bit atm

I can’t stop drawing tiny Watchdogs (Patreon)

#Doodles #Wander Over Yonder #Commander Peepers #Watchdog #Newsflash: They are all tiny #They're such perfect spacefillers I swear <3 <3 <3 No hells boxes here #They're all basically just stick figures with eyes in place of the head lol what more could I ask for #Or in the case of Fist Fighters then the obvious lol #Even if I do also already have some stick figures that I enjoy lol - they keep the page on-theme! Very important! Haha #Gave a go to a regular Watchdog to go with my Fist Fighter and hmmm yes this feels attainable lol - just gotta give 'em both names #They are very cute and sweet ♥ #An actual full-style(? Full WOY style? Lol) for Peepers and a regular Watchdog! #Although afterwards I looked and I'm. Hm. There's conflicting information out there and I'm not sure what to believe #On the wiki he's listed as being shorter than most other Watchdogs but I did a quick screenshot comparison in The It and he was taller?? #Not just taller - his eye was bigger - and I accounted for distance! The regular Watchdog was in front of him by just a few inches! #It's inconsistent enough for me to argue either way honestly #And all that not counting what Wander does to his shoes lol so all in all he's probably Slightly taller than the Watchdogs with his shoes on #Not counting special members like Moose or the Drill Sergeant - and definitely not Westley he's super tiny haha #Honestly surprised Peepers didn't take advantage of their height difference more he's a bit of a bully ♪ #Rest abound as being silly little guys :) I do love how they're so easy to draw ''in colour'' haha #Red on black on red on black ♫ I suppose I could add in a yellow but pfsh don't even talk to me about the dark purple/red combo inside lol #Maybe at some point but I like them at full lighting for ease of colours haha #Cutest lads <3 Love 'em

yeah sex is great but have you ever unflooded your street by removing leaves from the storm drains using the litter-grabber tool you bought from lowe's two weeks ago for that exact purpose?

#every year my street floods in the autumn when it rains heavily. usually multiple times. every year!!! #i hate it it's so stressful. and of course the cars keep driving down it even though it's unsafe. a lot don't even slow down #and they throw up these huge walls of water with their passage #the street becomes totally unusable for pedestrians wheelchair users bikers strollers etc. #it's just the worst. and every year i'm like oh i should get a thingy so i can do something about it #and i never do in time. but this year. THIS year. watch out world #i cleaned out the drains preventively a few times in the past couple weeks but today is the first day of somewhat heavy wind and rain #so i went out this evening and two of the four drains were completely clogged :( but i got out my tool & as soon as i cleared a little spac #a whirlpool formed and sucked all the water into it! with this amazing noise. it was fantastic #then i cleared away the rest of the leaves cuz that tiny spot would get covered up very quickly otherwise #i came back by an hour later and they're still looking great <3 i'm basking in the afterglow #it is funny how much easier a homeowner could do this than me. those people have yard debris cans #they have space for shovels. god. a shovel. my kingdom for a shovel #i'm just piling the leaves on the curb one handful at a time and then leaving them there (out of the way of everyone of course) #because i have nowhere else to put them and no way to transfer them farther distances #but it's mostly just apartments near this intersection so we gotta do it for ourselves #anyway i'm probably gonna have to do it again tomorrow because there are a lot of dead leaves out there right now #but man! i've never been able to do anything about this before except call the city and wait for them to send someone. this feels so good

Why do certain coworkers have to get you so annoyed with them without even trying, and they don't realize how annoying/obnoxious they are?? Or worse, they KNOW how annoying they are but don't seem to care cause they find it funny?

It's like the silence and neutral expressions aren't enough of a hint that I don't think you're funny and you should just stop while you still have your dignity...

Longer rant in the tags cause it's a lot.

#rant post #personal rant #idk what is with boys and think whenever you get annoyed with them means that its ok to keep going on with the shit 😒 #i know it's not all boys but just certain ones #he's only 1-2 years younger than me but he acts pretty immature sometimes #he was trying to get my attention by doing stupid shit as distance away but i didn't acknowledge him and he got that message #but afterwards he tries other stuff and cracks himself up whenever he gets me to look at him thinking I'm giving him a reaction #he's....an odd puzzle piece to place #and my workplace is as small as a typical subway so i can't really keep my distance from him unless i go outside or got to the restrooms #ugh i just wish he wasn't like this ALL THE TIME and he wonders i act the way i do around him on the rare occasions he is serious #and it's just me and him working there other than my manager but can't really do anything about that for now #i just wanna scream at him to not smirk at me and dance around me like he's trying to do a mating dance that makes me uncomfortable each tim #-me but i gotta say it in a way that doesn't sound like I'm hysterical about it or cause ridges since I'm still working there #basically he's one of the reasons i want a new job. it shouldn't be the case where a coworker causes you to leave a job #but unfortunately this is where i am at this point #ok rant over XD #I'm going to wash my face and eat something

[skunkg1rll]

still cant decide whether i should just fail my eng class or not ://

#personally i dont care #i can fail it it doesnt matter to me #buuuut... im trying to figure out if i can get away w it.. #or if it'll create issues for me #maybe i can fail it nd not say anything #nd only tell her if she brings it up and then i can explain it away #nd then i can fail it and put it out of my mind #and just keep going w my two classes for now #im thinking until the end of summer #then my hopes are to apply for a loan nd finish up my classes on distance #(but i will do it in class if they remove distance classes which they say they will) #and then apply for a program and get an education then a job #i thiiink thats possible #but yeah im mostly worried that if i fail #the school will suspend me from my other classes and my social worker will say that i cant be approved for wellfare skskks #but if that doesnt happen then idc!!! nd im ok w failing this class... #im just worried bc i gotta sit nd ruminate nd see if i can connect all the dots nd figure it out #idk if it can work.... #ughhh sighhhh maybe i can make it work like that #then i dont have to be so fkn stressed rn

You talking about 98 reminded me.

I was rereading the manga the other day and Wolfwood has a flashback to Knives giving him orders to find Vash and to “accompany my little brother once again,” despite the fact that since Wolfwood was introduced in the last couple chapters of Trigun, he didn’t have time to accompany Vash, they just hung out on the bus after they accidentally encountered him by luck, and importantly Wolfwood didn’t even have his orders from Legato about Vash yet, he just knew he had to meet someone in the city as an member of eom. So there wasn’t really any accompanying done there, unless Knives is counting that bus ride which I doubt.

I can’t recall how much Nightow worked on writing/helping with 98, but considering how much earlier Wolfwood gets introduced in it, do you think he accidentally mixed in some of what happened in that version with the manga? Bc honestly that’s pretty funny. Or possibly there was supposed to be some adventures with Wolfwood as part of the crew that got cut from the og manga because of fifth moon and the whole knives encounter getting pushed up due to the publishing stuff and all that, and Nightow forgot he never actually got to put that part in the manga

🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

I'd double check the panel ur talking about, tho I don't rly have time to comb for it rn hdkdhfj But

I mean, Nightow has shown a great amount of consistency within his own writing. The number of callbacks to earlier things within the manga consistently took me by surprise (like all the references to earlier vash & wolfwood interactions, the symbolism of things, the way Meryl acts around vash & grows, etc). My dude was probably rereading his own work Constantly to be able to do that. Plus that moment towards the end where Vash remembers Every Single Person he'd met on his travels, including very minor ones - looking thru, I couldn't see a single one Nightow missed, which meant he must have combed thru his own work to find Every Single Character of his work (unless he kept character references, which is also a possibility & also smth worthy of respect)

All that being said, I doubt Nightow would be the type to make an error like that. It's always possible it's a translation error (I'd be curious of what version you saw that in, since Dark Horse translation is known to have a lot of benign mistakes like that). So if anything, I'd blame them

If it Was Nightow tho 🤔 idk the time's skimmed by in the chapter but I feel like at Least a day passed on that bus. They stop in another town along the way, & the towns in Gunsmoke are Not close together. Take for example the fact that the sand steamer ride between April City and May City was a two week journey. By sand steamer. Then the distance between Augusta and Jeneora was... 2000 kilometers? I think. I'd have to double check it, but it's something kind of insane. Point is, things aren't close together in this world. We just don't see the transportation bc it'd be kinda boring to watch lol

All in all, I'd blame it on translation error or the weird fast paced depiction of the end of the manga b4 I'd blame Nightow of mixing up details

#anonymous #ask #trigun #hope this doesnt come off as judgy btw i just have a lot of respect for nightow's ability to keep internal consistency #as a writer who constantly rereads their own work to do just that. that shit's Hard. #ultimately it's possible he made a mistake. he's only human. but id sooner blame these other factors than him i think #i could dig up my references for the distance later btw. not rn tho bc im still in bed and i gotta get ready for work now :p

hope u guys don't mind me being a little queer sometimes and talking to myself in the tags, it helps clear my head since people can filter out rant posts easily

#bc i had not used this place in a while until late 2022 ive absolutely forgotten if i used to talk to myself in tags here before or not #i say this bc i now have people who actively see my art here n just throwing random rants here would be very rude so i prefer tags help #feels safer here too LOL #also feels a little scary but im sure that's normal for many that there are ppl who read all tags mein gott #NOT A BAD THING THAT PPL READ TAGS i wouldn't be writing anything if i wanted to kill people for reading tags lol #just stating observations aheem aheem #its like writing on a public bathroom's walls and people passing by to be like “damn bitch ok” /funny #also do not worry at all about how i express myself i do apologize if my words sometimes sound like im on the brink but like #violence is the only way i love to be expressive HELP #watch me be on the government watchlist for the shit ive said gootbyeeeeeeee #but do not feel worried i will be ok eventually every time. sometimes i just gotta explode oh so violently to deflate and feel normal again #WISH I COULD USE EMOJIS ON THIS DAMN PC #anyway the person im trying my damned to avoid is Sure Making It Difficult #at least the people i wanted to know why i was autotune crying baby for a while heard me out n im alive in that regard finally smile emoji #how long can you keep gently hinting you want to distance yourself from somebody until you lose your goddam mind and feel sweet relief when #they actually leave said group themselves after getting my blunt hints help help #oh i sound so fucking rude with just my side but mein gott i don't care bc it was never a serious thing to begin with #just shot my anger thru the roof for good reason and finalliegh im getting mutual distance from that person lol #never get close with ur fave artists worst mistake of my life /hj for real #u start off loving seeing them every time and then boom youre sad how things turned out every time you see them my god #also make sure ur minor friends dont feel like they need to mend things for the adults i feel so fucking sad for someone bc of this rn but #i talked to them n hopefully they understand aouhg. #anyway back to queer posting thats enough soup for today good god #ranting

#so there's this girl #and there's this conversation I had where I told Prettyboy about a coworker whose version of polyamory is #'she says she needs me back in Washington but I don't have a job there. I keep telling her to get another boyfriend while I'm out of town #just make sure he's not around when I visit so I don't have to fight anybody' #That tickled me. And the conversation ended with me getting like a third of a hall pass. I gotta call if anything happens. #Call so Prettyboy feels like he's part of my romantic life even when the romance isn't him #Which is the opposite track of the one I was giggling about okay yeah #But like my best friend here is. Super pretty. Ridiculously pretty. #And kind and works hard and takes care of the people she loves. She's always finding ways to help me. #And she's vegan and loves my cooking and that's my love language okay #I wanna make sure she eats I wanna see what happens if she's given full reigns on dominance I want I yearn #And we talk for hours about nothing but it's been weeks since I've been like one third available and I dunno how to tell her #Or if I should or if I'd be just another person in her life who wants her for what she can do for them #I think my intentions are good but it's lonely. The long distance and the seasonal work and the isolated town up in the mountains. #And maybe I just want to be held. #I know she's grey ace and a lot of the romantic relationships she's had in the past were very manipulative and not what she really wanted #Maybe that's what's pulling me in so hard like am I just insecure and want to prove myself yet again #I've always been drawn to flaky people #I wanna be the one person they show up for #This is the thing that I actually need to process in therapy and can't just lsd the anxiety away #Though that worked for most things #Take hallucinagens. Once. #I'm such a hugger but only worked up the courage to hug her a few days ago. #We've been talking (lowercase t) for months. #And I know she has her own long distance unicorn relationship back in Kentucky. I'm hoping the subject will just surface again. #And then I can say hey #I think you're really pretty

Using a usb a to c adapter I can use my mouse and/or keyboard on my ipad and both with a tablet usb hub. the power...

#since I know some people put em on a stand and use them like a computer vs a tablet #The mouse feels useless for my purposes but I see the appeal if you wanna use it from a distance or something #vena vents #I can now write in bed with an actual comfortable keyboard hurrah #not art #I have one of those ipad sized bluetooth ones but they aren't great to write with when you have other options #also then you gotta keep bluetooth on and that eats more battery

#man im really tired of having feelings for him. i should really just keep my distance and go back to dating apps #i long for the connection we have and hate having to build up something brand new #but im really tired of feeling butt hurt everytime he sleeps with our roommate #like yeah we broke up over a year ago. and still casually do shuff. its just hard for me to turn off that side of my brain #i just want to feel loved and be held by someone without having to build the foundation all over again #ive been depressed the past few days because of it. i act irrationally and cant control my feelings #overall its better if i just let them fuck around and i try to find someone new. only problem is im anxious and not a good conversationalist #plus i hate messaging people over phone. too much anxiety abt what im saying and if the other person enjoys me or not #anyways it sucks seeing the subtle evidence that they went at it while i was away. i have no right to be upset but i cant help but think of #him as more than a friend. i cant and shouldnt but we had dated 6 years previously. its a bit difficult to turn that switch off now #dammit i guess tonight im gonna sleep alone again and try not to cry. whatever gotta get over myself and move on. have to stop only thinking #of my self and being so damn possessive all the time #ash rambles #fuck i feel worse now after typing all that out yippee..

the insistence that clark has to be kon's dad is so weird to me.

#i gotta actually read some kon comics to make a proper point #a clone is genetically speaking closer to a sibling than a child #and kon wasn't even clark's clone when he initially apeared #clark gave him his name and it didn't mean anything bad when he did #also like ... if somebody steals your dna -- your worst enemy steals your dna! -- i don't think you necessarily have an obligation to #parent that child #why can't they form a brotherly bond? why is that any less meaningful? #i dunno man if i came back from the dead and met a teenager genetically engineered to look like me i would probably keep my distance #personally #also if you consider lex to be kon's parent in some way i think it's way funnier to think of him having to co-parent with ma and pa kent #than with clark #clark wouldn't know what he's doing #ma and pa know exactly #clark kent #kon-el #dc #this isn't even me wanting clark to be an uwu perfect little angel #that's boring #i just don't think this is it

[alistairian]

Stating the obvious here but I think internet-era people should learn that you probably shouldn't expect that you can talk to everybody the same way you talk with friends and family.

Like the people I'm close with, for the most part, know my intentions and know my politics. I can be blunt and clunky with my words and I'm pretty confident that they know what I'm trying to communicate. I can poke fun my partner's gender or at my dad's bad english because those people know I love and support them.

If I were to make those same comments to a colleague or coworker, however, I think they would be completely justified in thinking I'm an asshole.

When someone keeps saying faggot in a derogatory way and HE doesn't know I'M gay and I don't know HE'S gay, that makes for an incredibly uncomfortable exchange where we both end up pissing each other off. If someone keeps saying retarded and I don't know that they were raised alongside a disabled sibling then I'm just going to think they're an ableist piece of shit, and I'm not going to ask for a detailed background before doing so.

Like "political correctness" isn't about someone busting down your front door and cuffing you for saying the wrong words in your own home. If anything it's about ensuring everyone's on the same page and no ones being needlessly hurt or being unintentionally advocated against, expecially in the case of public discourse in front of an audience. Someone ranting online about the dynamics at play in their friend's immigrant family can be easily read as racist, and those comments can even encourage racism, even if they're both the same race or both come from immigrant families. If that's not what you're trying to communicate you need to be able to... communicate that. Especially if you're posting online where anybody from any walk of life can interpret your words in any number of ways and won't be asking for clarification.

There's basically always been people moaning about PC culture and how they can't say anything nowadays and how people are so quick to "cancel" anyone for anything now. Like no shit if the first thing I hear someone say is some tasteless transphobic joke my entire perception of that person is that they're a transphobe! I'm not going to give that person the benefit of the doubt or expect them to provide a lengthy nuanced take of their "actual" politics and feelings before I decide if they suck or not. Now if that same person was telling the joke to their close trans friends who knew they were an ally/also queer/a big fan of satire and irony then that's a totally different story. And if those friends are still offended then they're already in a position to have a discussion about it. You can't expect that level of understanding or patience from randos on the internet or aquaintences and work buddies.

#idk man I never once in my life felt like I was being censored #but I still approach these topics with caution because I can understand that people have no idea what I'm thinking #when you live in a world full of racists and homophobes etc you gotta distance yourself from them if you want to be seen as safe #once you've found your friends who appreciate the edgy humor go wild who cares just keep it private damn #guys are espcially bad for this and it's crazy how often they'll laugh at each others jokes then turn around and start talking shit #dude you're just encouraging it
